TO THE READER. 



AS the Dedication of the English translation of the BIBLE to king Jumes the first of England seems to be wholly unneces- 
sary for the purposes of edification, and perhaps on some accounts improper to be continued in an American edition, Ike Editors 
hare substituted a short account of the translations of the Old and New Testaments from the original Hebrew and Greek in whicli 
they were written. 

To the Jews was first committed the care ■of the sacred Writings, and for many ages they were in a manner confined to that 
chosen people. There was then no need of translations into other languages ; yet was the providence of God particularly manifest 
in their preservation and purity. The Jews were so faithful to their important trust, that, when copies of the law or the prophets 
were transcribed, they observed the most scrupulous exactness : they not only diligently compared the one with the other, but ever 
counted the number of letters in each book, and compared and recorded the numbers. 

The first translations that were made of the Old Testament were after the Babylonish captivity. They are called the Targums, 
which word in the Chaldean language signifies Translations. They are also often called the Chaldee Paraphrases ; some of them 
are exact translations of different parts of Scripture ; others are properly paraphrases, containing enlargements, explanations, and 
oven additions. Several of them are yet extant, and they are often mentioned by the ancient fathers of the Christian church. 
Some have affirmed that the five books of Moses and that of Joshua were translated into Greek before the days of Alexander the 
Great. Bui. the most remarkable translation of the Old Testament into Greek is called the Septuagint, which, if the opinion 
if some eminent writers is to be credited, was made in the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus, about 260 years before the Christian era. 
At any rate it is undoubted!) the most ancient that is now extant, and on many accounts deserving notice, though not to be put on a 
el with the Hebrew text, as has been sometime 3 done. 

The New Testament was originally written in Greek ; and no sooner was the gospel spread through the nations than it was 

fapjlrid necessary to translate the inspired Writings for each into its proper tongue. Some translations of the Old Testament, different 

from the Septuagint, were made into Greek from the jear of Christ's birth 128 to 200. It is generally believed that the church 

l' Anlioch was favoured with a Syrian translation of the Bible as early as the year 100. The Ethiopians of Abyssinia have a 

ion of the Bible, which they ascribe to Frumentius, of the fourth century. Chrysostom, who lived in the end of the fonrill, 

and Theodoret, who lived in the middle of the fifth century, both inform us that they had the Syrian, Indian, Persian, Armenian, 

.pic, and Scythian versions. The ancient Egyptians had the Scriptures translated into their language. The Georgians have a 

on -in their ancient language. The most ancient German translation is supposed to have been made by Ulphilas, A. D. 360. 

-Old Testament of all these translations, except the Syrian, is taken from the Septuagint, and not immediately from the Hebrew text. 

will now give some account of the translations of the Bible into the English language. There have been some who have 

^firmed that Adelme, Bishop of Sherburn, who lived in the beginning of the eighth century, translated the Psalms into the Saxon 

igue. That however is uncertain, as seme of the best historians make no mention of it ; yet it is possible, as he was a man of 

a reat parts, and of great learning for those times, and said to be the first Englishman who wrote in the Latin language. About the 

•^ISjme time, or a little after, Bede, commonly called the venerable Bede, translated some parts of the New Testament, some say the 

l»ole ijiui?, but that is not probable. Near 200 years later, king. Alfred translated the Psalms into the same language. In 1382 

Wickli'T fir.^hed his translation of the Bible, which is yet extant; that is to say, there are copies of it in some publick and private 

I libraries. Ail these translations were made from the Vulgate. In the reign of Henry the eighth, several editions of the Old and 

New Testaments were published in English ; one of the most remarkable is that of William Tyndal in 1530. The translation of the 

Vew Testament was made from the original Greek, but probably the Old Testament either from the Latin of the Vulgate, or the 

iireek of the Septuagint. This was soon followed by the improvements of Coverdale and Mathews. By order of the king, Tonstal, 

; isbpp of Durham, and Heath, Bishop of Rochester, made anew translation, which was published in 1541: but, not pleasing Henry, 

it was suppressed by authority. In the reign of king Edward the sixth, another translation was made; two editions of which were 

bed, one in 1549, and the other in 1551. In the reign of queen Elizabeth another translation was made, which, being revised 

bv some of the most learned of the Bishops, went by the name of the Bishops' Bible. This professed to be translated from the 

Hebrew of the Old Testament, and the Greek of the New, though in some instances, when there was a difference, it preferred 

t the Septuagint to ihe Hebrew. 

This last circumstance, with some others, induced king James the first to select fifty-four persons, eminent in learning, .1 

particularly well acquainted with the original languages in which the Old and New Testaments were written, to make a new 

■anslation of the whole Bible. In the year 1607, forty-seven of those person*, fh other seven probably having died, assembled 

gether, and arranged themselves into committees, to each of which a portic ..as given to translate. They were favoured not 

t»nly with the "best translations, but with the most accurate copies, and the various readings of the original text. After about three 

■years assiduous labour, they severally completed the parts assigned them. They then met together, and while one read the 

translation newly formed, the rest had each a copy of the original text in his hand, or some one of the ancient versions, and 

when any difficulty occurred they stopped, till by common consultation it was determined what was most agreeable to the inspired 

Original. This translation was first published A. D. 1610, and is the one which has been ever since that time printed by publick 

authority, and generally used in the British dominions. It may be added with safety, that it has been generally approved by 

men of learning and piety of all denominations, of which its having never been superseded by any other, for one hundred and 

ty years, is a sufficient proof. 

The publisher has only further to add, that he has made the following impression from the Oxford edition of 1784 by Jackson 

t and Hamilton — and has been particularly attentive in the revisal and correction of the proof-sheets with the Cambridge edition of 

I 1668 by John Field — with the Edinburgh edition of 1775 by Kincaid, and, in all variations, with tlie London edition of 177: 

Eyre, and Strahan — that where there was any difference in words, or in the omission or addition of words, among these, he followed 

that which appeared to be most agreeable to the Hebrew of Arias Montanus, aud to the Greek of Arias Montanus and Lenscien, 

and always adopted some one of the above-mentioned English copies as hia authority, except in the mode of spelling, in which he 

ihas generally followed Johnson.

CHAP. I. 

1 The creation of heaven and earth. 14 Of the sun, moon, 
and stars. 26 Of man in the image of God. 29 Also the 
appointment of food. 

IN the beginning a God created the b heaven and the 
earth. 

2 And the earth was without form, and void ; and 
darkness was upon the face of the deep : and the 
c Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 

3 And d God said, Let there be light : and there was 
light. 

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and 
God t divided the light from the darkness. 

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness 
he called Night. And the t evening and the morning 
were the first day. 

6 IT And God said, e Let there be t a firmament in 
the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters 
from the waters. 

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the 
waters which were under the firmament from the 
waters which were above the firmament : and it 
was so. 

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And 
the evening and the morning were the second day. 

9 IT And God said, Let the waters under the hea- 
ven be gathered together unto r one place, and let the 
dry land appear : and it was so. 

10 And God called the g dry land Earth, and the 
gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and 
God saw that it was good. 

1 1 And God said, Let the Earth t bring forth grass, 
the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree yielding fruit 
after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth : 
and it was so. 

12 And the Earth brought forth grass, and herb 
yielding seed after his h kind, and the tree yielding 
fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind : and God 
saw that it was good. 

1 3 And the evening and the morning were the third 
day. 

14 IF And God said, Let there be ' lights in the 
t Heb. be- firmament of the heaven, to divide t the day from the 
tuxm the night : and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and 

•iau, &c. c J 1 

tor days, and years : 

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the 
heaven, to give light upon the earth : and it was so. 

16 And God made two great lights; the greater 
L H ™//o/ 'is' 1 * to t rme the day, and the lesser light to rule the 
the day. night : he made the stars also.

17 And God k set them in the firmament of the 
heaven, to give light upon the earth, 

18 And to ' rule over the day and over the night, 
and to divide the light from the darkness : and God 
saw that it was good. 

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth 
day. 

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abun- 
dantly the moving creature that hath t life, and fowl 
that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of 
heaven. 

21 And God created great whales, and every living 
creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth 
abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl 
after his kind : and God saw that it was good. 

22 And God m blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and 
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas ; and let fowl 
multiply in the earth. 

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living 
creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and 
beast of the earth after his kind : and it was so. 

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his 
kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that 
preepeth upon the earth after his kind : and God saw 
that it was good. 

26 And God said, n Let us make man in ° our image, 
after our likeness ; and let them have p dominion over 
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and 
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every 
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 

27 So God created man in his own image ; in the 
image of God created he him ; q male ai lemale 
created he them. 

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, 
r Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and 
subdue it : and have dominion over the fish of the sea, 
and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing 
that t moveth upon the earth. 

29 f And God said, Behold, I have given you every 
herb t bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the 
earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree 
yielding seed ; 8 to you it shall be for meat. 

30 And to l every beast of the earth, and to «very 
fowl of the air, and to every thing that creep 

the earth, wherein there is t life, I have gv «, ~.v v 
green herb for meat: and it was so. 

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and 
behold, it was u very good. And the evening and the 
morning were the sixth day.

of f life ; and man became a living soul. 

8 IT And the Lord God planted a * garden east- 
ward in Eden ; and there he put the man whom he 
had formed. 

9 Aud out of the ground made the Lord God to 
grow every k tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good 
for food ; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, 
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 

1 And a ' river went out of Eden to water the gar- 
den : and from thence it was parted, and became into 
four heads. 

1 1 The name of the first is Pison : that is it which 
compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is 
gold •, 

1 2 And the gold of that land is good : there is bdel- 
lium and the onyx-stone. 

1 3 And the name of the second river is Gihon : the 
fHeJvCVsA, same i s it that compasseth the whole land of t Ethiopia. 

1 4 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel : 
that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. 
And the fourth river is Euphrates. 

1 5 And the Lord God took the man, and put him 
into the garden of Eden, to m dress it, and to keep it. 

16 And the Lord God - n commanded the man, say- 
ing, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat : 

1 7 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and 
evil, thou ° shalt not- eat of it : for in the day that 
thou eatest thereof thou shalt t surely die. 

1 8 IF And the Lord God said, It is p not good that 
the man should be alone : I wih make him a help 
t meet for him. 

19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed 
every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and 
q brought them, unto Adam, to see what he would call 
them ; and whatsoever Adam called every living crea- 
ture, that was the name thereof. 

20 And Adam t gave names to all cattle, and to the 
fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field : but for 
Adam there was not found a help meet for him. 

21 *H And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to 
fall upon Adam, and he slept ; -and he took one of his 
ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. 

22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken 
from man, t made he a woman, and r brought her 
unto the man.

1 The birth, trade, and religion of Cain and Abel. 8 The 
murder of Abel. 11 The curse of Cain. 
ND Adam a knew Eve his wife; and she conceiv- 
ed, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten t a 
man from the Lord. 

2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was 
a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 

3 And in t process of time it came to pass, that Cain 
brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the 
Lord. 

4 And Abel, he also brought of the b firstlings of his 
flock, and of the c fat thereof. And the Lord had d re- 
spect unto Abel, and to his offering: 

5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not re- 
spect. And Cain was very e wroth, and his counte- 
nance fell. 

6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou 
wroth ? and why is thy countenance fallen ? 

7 If thou f doest well, shalt thou not || be accepted? 
and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And 
unto thee shall be his s desire, and thou shalt rule over 
him. 

And Cain h talked with Abel his brother: and it 
came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain 
rose up against Abel his brother, and ' slew him. 

9 1 And the Lord said unto Cain, k Where is Abel 
thy brother? And he said, 'I know not: Am I my 
brother's keeper? 

10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of 
thy brother's blood m crielh unto me/romthe ground. 

1 1 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which 
hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood 
from thy hand. 

12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not hence- 
forth yield unto thee her strength. u A fugitive and a 
vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 

13 And Cain said unto the Lord, || My punishment 
is greater than 1 can bear. 

14 Behold, thou hast driven me. out this day from 
the "face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be 
hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the 
earth ; and it shall come to pass, that every one that 
findeth me shall p slay me. 

15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whoso- 
ever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him 
seven-fold. And the Lord set i a mark upon Cain, 
lest any finding him should kill him.

CHAP. VI. 

1 The wickedness of the world, which provoked God's wrath, 
and caused the flood. 14 The order and form of the ark. 

AND it came to pass, when men began to a multiply 
on the face of the earth, and daughters were born 
unto them, 

2 That the b sons of God c saw the d daughters of 
men that they were fair •, and they e took them wives of 
all which they chose. 

3 And the Lord said, f My spirit shall not always 
strive with man, for that he also is g flesh : yet his days 
shall be b a hundred and twenty years. 

4 There were giants in the earth in those days ; and 
also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the 
daughters of men, and they bare children to them : the 
same became mighty men, which were of old, men of 
renown. 

5 1 And God saw that the wickedness of man was 
great in the earth, and that every imagination of the 
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 

6 And ' it repented the Lord that he had made man 
on the earth, and it k grieved him at his heart. 

7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man, whom I 
have created, from the face of the earth ; t both man 
and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the 
air : for it repenteth me that I have made them. 

8 But Noah J found grace in the eyes ol the Lord. 

9 T These are the generations of Noah : Noah was

m a just man, and perfect in his generations, and Noah 
n walked with God. 

1 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and 
Japheth. 

1 1 The earth also was corrupt ° before God ; and 
the earth was filled with violence. 

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it Acts \£.ii 
was corrupt", for all flesh had corrupted his way upon ° cb ~ 10, a 
the earth. 

13 And God said unto Noah, p The end of all flesh 
is come before me ; for the earth is q filled with violence 
thiough them : and, behold, I will destroy them with 
the earth. 

1 4 IT Make thee an ark of gopher- wood : rooms 
shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within 
and without with pitch. 

1 5 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it 
of: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, 
the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty 
cubits. 

1 6 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a 
cubit shalt thou finish it above ; and the door of the ark 
shalt thou set in the side thereof : with lower, second, 
and third stories shalt thou make it. 

17 And, behold, r I, even 1, do bring a flood of wa- rPs.29, 10. 
ters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the chap ' 9 ' ^ 
breath of life, from under heaven ; and every thing that 

is in the earth s shall die. sRom. 6,23. 

1 8 But with thee will I establish my covenant : Ps - 107 ' 34, 
and Hhou shalt come into the ark ; thou, and thy sons, tHeb. n, 7, 
and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.' Isa- 26 ' 2a 

1 9 And of every living thing of all flesh, u two of « chap. 7, 2 
every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them Psal " 36, 6 
alive with thee ; they shall be male and female. 

20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their 
kind ; of every creeping thing of the earth after his 

kind ; two of every sort shall come x unto thee, to keep x John 5,40 
them alive. % Jer - 8 ' 7 " 

21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, 
and thou shalt gather it to thee ; and it shall be for 
food for thee, and for them. 

22 y Thus did Noah; according to all that God 
commanded him, so did z he.

9 There went g in two and two unto Noah into the 
ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded 
Noah. 

1 And h it came to pass, after seven days, that the 
waters of the flood were upon the earth. 

11 IT In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the 
second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the 
same day were all the fountains of the ' great deep 
broken up, and the k windows of heaven were opened. 

1 2 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and 
forty nights. 

1 3 In the self-same day entered Noah, and Shem, 
and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's 
wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into 
the ark : 

14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the 
cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that 
creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl 
after his kind, every bird of every sort. 

1 5 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, ' two 
and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 

1 6 And they that went in, went in male and female 
of all flesh, as God had commanded him : and the 
m Lord shut him in. 

1 7 And the flood was forty days upon the earth : 
and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and 
it was lift up above the earth. 

1 8 And the waters n prevailed, and were increased 
greatly upon the earth ; and the ark ° went upon the 
face of the waters. 

1 9 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the 
earth ; and all the p high hills that were under the 
whole heaven, were covered. 

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail ; 
and the q mountains were covered. 

21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both 
of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, andof every creeping 
thing that creepeth upon the earth, and r every man : 

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all 
that was in the dry land, died. 

23 And every living substance was destroyed which 
was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, 
and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven ; 
and they were destroyed from the earth : and s Noah 
only remained alive, and they that were with him in the 
ark. 

24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a Miun- 
dred and fifty days.

AND God a remembered Noah, and every living 
thing, and b all the cattle that rvas with him in the 
ark : and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and 
the waters assuaged : 

2 The fountains also of the deep, and the windows

3 And the waters returned from off the earth t con-

days the waters were abated,

month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

the waters were dried up from off the earth : and 
Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, 
and, behold, the face of the ground was diy. 

14 And in the second month, on the m seven and mch. 7, 11.

4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the g blood

5 And surely your blood of your lives will I h re-

10 And with s every living creature that is with you, 
of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the 
earth with you ; from all that go out of the ark, to 
every beast of the earth. 

11 And I will establish my covenant with you; 
neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the wa- 
ters of a flood ; neither shall there any more be a 
flood to 4 destroy the earth. 

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant 
which I make between me and you, and every living 
creature that is with you, for perpetual generations. 

1 3 I do set my u bow in the cloud, and it shall be for 
a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 

1 4 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud 
over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud : 

1 5 And I will remember my covenant, wliich is be- 
tween me and you, and every living creature of all flesh; 
and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy 
all flesh. 

1 6 And the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will 
look upon it, that I may K remember the everlasting 
covenant between God and every living creature of 
all flesh that is upon the earth. 

1 7 And God said unto Noah, This is y the token of

and all flesh that is upon the earth. 

1 8 IF And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the 
ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth : and Ham 
is the father of Canaan. 

1 9 These are the three sons of Noah : and of them 
was the whole earth overspread. 

20 And Noah began to be a z husbandman, and he 
planted a vineyard : 

21 And he drank of the wine, and a was drunken ; 
and he was b uncovered within his tent. 

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the naked- 
ness of his father, and c told his two brethren without. 

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid 
it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and 
covered the nakedness of their father ; and their faces 
were backward, and they saw not their father's na- 
kedness. 

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew 
what his younger son had done unto him : 

25 And he said, d Cursed be Canaan ; e a servant 
of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 

26 And he said, f Blessed be the Lord God of 
Shem ; and Canaan shall be his servant. 

27 God shall || enlarge Japheth, and he shall g dwell in

The building of Babel. 

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou 
goest unto Sephar, a r mount of the east. 

3 1 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, 
after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, af- 
ter their generations, in their nations : and by these 
were the nations divided in the earth after the Hood. 

CHAP. XI. 

1 One language in the world. 3 The building of Babel. 
5 The confusion of tongues. 
ND the whole a earth was of one t language, and 
of one speech. 

2 And it came to pass, as they b journeyed from the 
east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar ; and 
they dwelt there. 

3 And they said one to another, c Go to, let us make 
brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had 
d brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and a 
tower whose e top may reach unto heaven ; and let us 
make us f a name, lest we be s scattered abroad upon 
the face of the whole earth. 

5 And the Lord h came down to see the city and the 
tower, which the ' children of men builded. 

6 And the Lord said, k Behold, the people is one, 
and they have all one language ; and this they begin 
to do : and now nothing will be restrained from them, 
which they have imagined to do. 

7 Go to, ' let us go down, and there m confound their 
language, that they may " not understand one ano- 
ther's speech. 

8 So the Lord ° scattered them abroad from thence 
upon the face of all the earth : and they left off to 
build the city. 

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel ; because 
the Lord did there confound the language of all the 
earth : and from thence did the Lord scatter them 
abroad upon the face of all the earth. 

10 IT These are the generations of Shem: Shem 
was a hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two 
years after the flood : 

1 1 And Shem lived, after he begat Arphaxad, five 
hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 

1 2 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and

q Abram, Nahor, and Ha ran. 

27 If Now these are the generations of Terah : 
Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran ; and Haran 
begat Lot. 

28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the 
land of his nativity, in r Ur cf the Chaldees. 

29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives : the 
name of Abram's wife was s Sarai ; and the name of 
Nahor's wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the 
father of l Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 

30 But Sarai was barren ; she had no child. 

31 And u Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the 
son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter- 
in-law, his son Abram's wife ; and they went forth 
with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the 
land of Canaan : and they came unto x Haran, and 
dwelt there. 

32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and 
five years : and Terah died in Haran. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 God calleth Abram, and blesseth him with a promise of 
Christ. 6 He journeyeth through Canaan: 10 He is 
driven by a famine into Egypt. 

OW the Lord a had said unto Abram, b Get thee 
out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and 
from thy father's house, unto a land that I will c shew 
thee : 

2 And I will make of thee d a great nation, and I 
will e bless thee, and make thy name great ; and thou 
shalt be a blessing : 

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse 
him that curseth thee ; and f in thee shall all families 
of the earth be blessed. 

4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto 
him ; and Lot went with him : and Abram icas seven- 
ty and five years old when he s departed out of Haran. 

5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot. his bro- 
ther's son, and all their substance that they had 
gathered, and the souls that they had b gotten in Ha- 
ran : and they went forth to go into the ' land of Ca- 
naan ; and into the land of Canaan they came. 

6 If And Abram k passed through the land unto the kHeb.11,9. 
place of ' Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the 
m Canaanite was then in the land. 

7 And the Lord n appeared unto Abram, and said, 
Unto ° thy seed will I give this land : and there build- 
ed he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. 

8 And he p removed from thence unto a mountain 
on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having 
Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east; and there 
he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon 
the name of the Lord. 

9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the 
south. 

1 If And there was i a famine r in the land : and 
Abram s went down into Egypt to sojourn there ; for 
the famine was grievous in the land. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when he was come near to 
enter into Egvpt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, 
Behold now, I know that thou art a l fair woman to 
look upon : 

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyp- 
tians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife ; 
and they will u kill me, but they will save thee alive. 

1 3 Sa}', I pray thee, thou art x my sister ; that it 
maybe well with me for thy sake: and my soul shall 
live because cf thee.

18 °And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is 
this that thou hast done unto me ? why didst thou not 
tell me that she was thy wife ? 

19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might 
have taken her to me to wife : now, therefore, behold 
thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 

20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning 
him : and they c sent him away, and his wife, and all 
that he had. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 Abram and Lot return out of Egypt : 14 God reneweth the 
promise to Abram: 18 He removeth to Hebron, and there 
buildeth an altar. 

ND Abram a went up out of Egypt, he, and his 
wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, in- 
to the b south. 

2 And Abram was c very rich in cattle, in silver, 
and in gold. 

3 And he (1 went on his journeys from the south, 
even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had 
been at the beginning, between Beth-el, and Hai ; 

4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had e made 
there at the first : and there Abram called on the 
name of the Lord. 

5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, f had 
flocks, and herds, and tents. 

6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they 
might g dwell together : for their substance was great, 
so that they could not dwell together. 

7 And there was a b strife between the herdmen of 
Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle : and 
the Canaanite and the Perizzite ' dwelled then in the 
land. 

8 And Abram said unto Lot, k Let there be no strife, 
I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my 
herdmen and thy herdmen : for we be brethren. 

9 Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thy- 
self, I pray thee, from me : ' If thou wilt take the left 
hand, then I will go to the right ; or if thou depart to 
the right hand, then I will go to the left. 

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the 
plain of Jordan, that it was m well watered every 
where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Go- 
morrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land 
of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. 

1 1 Then Lot n chose him all the plain of Jordan ; 
and Lot journeyed east : and they separated them- 
selves the one from the other. 

12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot 
dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent 
toward Sodom. 

13 But the men of Sodom were wicked, °and sin- 
ners before the Lord exceedingly. 

14 IT And the Lord said unto Abram, after that 
Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, 
and look from the place where thou art, northward, 
and southward, and eastward, and westward : 



for ever. 

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the 
earth : so that if a man can number the 8 dust of the 
earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. 

1 7 Arise, walk through the land, in the l length of it, 
and in the breadth of it : for I will give it unto thee. 

1 8 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and 
dwelt in the plain of Mamie, which is in Hebron, 
and built there u an altar unto the Lord. 

CHAP. XIV. 

1 The battle of the kings. 12 Lot is taken prisoner : 18 Mel- 

chisedek blesseth Abram. 20 Abram giveth him tithe. 

ND it came to pass, in the days of Amraphel 

king of a Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Che- 

dorlaomer king of b Elam, and Tidal king of nations ; 

2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, 
and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of 
Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king 
of Bela, which is c Zoar. 

3 All these were joined together in the vale of Sid- 
dim, which is the d salt sea. 

4 Twelve years they e served Chedorlaomer, and in 
the thirteenth year they f rebelled. 

5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, 
and the kings that were with him, and smote the s B.e- 
phaims in h Ashteroth-Karnaim, and the ' Zuzims in 
Ham, and the k Emims in Shaveh-Kiriathaim, 

6 And the ' Horites in their mount Seir, unto m El- 
paran, which is by the wilderness. 

7 And they returned and came to En-mishpat, 
which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the 
"Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt in 
Hazezon-tamar. 

8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the 
king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the 
king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, (the same is 
Zoar ;) and they joined battle with them in the vale 
of Siddim ; 

9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with 
Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, 
and Arioch king of Ellasar ; four kings with five. 

1 And the vale of Siddim was full of slime-pits ; 

and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and p fell pJosh.8,: 
there ; and they that remained fled to the mountain. 

1 1 And they took all the q goods of Sodom and Go- 
morrah, and all their r victuals, and went their way. 

12 And they took s Lot, Abam's brother's son, 
(who dwelt in Sodom,) and his goods, and departed. 

1 3 IT And there came one tint had escaped, and 
told Abram the * Hebrew ; for he dwelt in the plain of tJonah i, 
Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother °" 

of Aner : and these were confedtrate with Abram. 

14 And when Abram heard tiat his "brother wa? Uch -H,27 
taken captive, he armed his trailed servants, w born in JJ ?h. J$ 3. 
his own house, three hundred aid eighteen, and pur 
sued them unto Dan. 

1 5 And he x divided himself .-gainst them, he aid 
his servants, by night, and smot them, and pursed 
them unto Hobah, which is on he left hand of^a- 
mascus. 

16 And he y brought back a] the goods, arl also 
brought again his brother Lot, aid his goods, - n d the 
women also, and the people. 

17 IT And the king of Sodoi went out^o z meet

God's promise to Abram. CHAP 

1 8 And b Melchisedek king of Salem brought 
c forth bread and wine ; and he was the d priest of the 
most high God. 

19 And he e blessed him, and said, f Blessed be 
Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven 
and earth : 

20 And g blessed be the most high God, which hath 
h delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave 

jh. l, 3. him tithes of all. 

21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give 
me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. 

22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have 
' lift up my hand unto the Lord, the most high God, 
the possessor of heaven and earth, 

23 That I will not k take from a thread even to a 
shoe-latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is 
thine, ' lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich : 

24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, 
and the portion of the men which went with me, 
Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre ; let them take their portion. 

CHAP. XV. 

1 God encourageth Abram, 4 promiseth him a son, and a 
multiplying of his seed. 6 Abram is justified by faith. 
7 Canaan is promised, and confirmed by a vision. 

AFTER these things the word of the Lord came 
unto Abram a in a vision, saying, b Fear not, 
Abram : I am thy c shield, and thy exceeding d great 
reward. 

2 And Abram said, Lord God, what wait thou give 
me, e seeing I go childless, and the steward of my 
house is this Eliezer of Damascus ? 

3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given 
j* 2, 7. no seed : and, lo, f one born in my house is mine heir. 

4 And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, 
saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall 
come forth out of thine own g bowels shall be thine heir. 

5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look 
now towards heaven, and tell the h stars, if thou be 
able to number them. And he said unto him, So shall 
thy seed be. 

6 And he ' believed k in the Lord ; and ' he counted 
it to him for righteousness. 

7 And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought 
thee out of m Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land 
to inherit it. 

8 And he said, Lord God, "whereby shall I know 
that I shall inherit it ? 

9 And he said unto him, ° Take me a heifer of three 
years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram 
of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon. 

10 And he took unto him all these, and v divided 
tiem in the midst, and laid each piece one against ano- 
ther ; but the birds divided he not. 

- 1 And when the "» fowls came down upon the car- 
cafes, Abram drove them away. 

|2 And when the sun was going down, r a deep sleep

1 Sarai being barren giveth Hagar to Abram. 15 Ishmael 
is born. 
0\V Sarai, Abram's wife, a bare him no children : 
and she had a b handmaid, an Egyptian, whose 
name was Hagar. 

2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the 
Lord hath c restrained me from bearing i I pray thee, 
go in unto my maid ; it may be that I may t obtain 
children by her. And Abram a hearkened to the voice ^ We</ 
of Sarai. dch. 

3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid, 
the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt e ten years in the e ch. 12, 
land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram 
to be his ' wife. 

4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived : 
and, when she saw that she had conceived, her mis- 
tress was E despised in her eyes. 

5 And Sarai said unto Abram, h My wrong be upon 
thee : I have given my maid into thy bosom ; and 
when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised 
in her eyes : the Lord 'judge between me and thee. 

6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is 
k in thy hand : do to her as it pleaseth thee. And 
when Sarai ' dealt hardly with her, she m fled from 
her face. 

7 And the angel of the Lord u found her by a foun- 
tain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the 
way to Shur. 

8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, "whence 
earnest thou ? and whither wilt thou go ? And she 
said, P I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. 

9 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return 
to thy mistress, and q submit thyself under her hands. 

1 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will 
'multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be 
numbered for multitude. 

11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Be- 
hold, thou art with child, and shall bear a son, and 
shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord "hath 
heard thy affliction. 

12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be 
1 against every man, and every man's hand against him : 1 p 8 . 68, 30 
and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. 

1 3 And she called the name of the Lord that spake 
unto her, u Thou God seest me : for she said, Have I 
also here * looked after him that seeth me ? 

14 Wherefore the well was called || Beer-laha-roi : 
behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. 

1 5 And Hagar bare Abram a son ; and Abram 
called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael. 

16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old 
when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.

1 God reneweth the covenant. 10 Circumcision is instituted. 
16 Isaac is promised. 23 Abraham and Ishmael are cir~ 
cumcised. 

ND when Abram was ninety years old and nine, 
the Lord a appeared to Abram, and said unto 
him, I am the b Almighty God : c walk before me, and 
be thou perfect. 

2 And I will make my covenant d between me and 
thee ; and will multiply thee exceedingly. 

3 And Abram e fell on his face : and God talked 
with him, saying, 

4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and 
thou shalt be f a father of many nations. 

5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram ; 
but thy name shall be called Abraham : for a g father 
of many nations have I made thee. 

6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I 
will make nations of thee, and h kings shall come out 
of thee. 

7 And I will establish my covenant between me 
and thee, and ' thy seed after thee, in their generations, 
for an k everlasting covenant, to be ' a God unto thee, 
and to thy seed after thee. 

8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after 
thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land 
of Canaan, for m an everlasting possession ; and I will 
be their God. 

9 IT And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep 
my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee, 
in their generations. 

10 This is "my covenant, which ye shall keep, be- 
tween me and you, and thy seed after thee •, Every 

man-child among you shall be p circumcised. 

1 1 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your fore- 
skin ; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt 
me and you. 

1 2 And he that is t eight days old shall be circum- 
cised among you, every man-child in your genera- 
tions ; he that is born in the house, or bought with 
money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. 

13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is 
bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised : 
and my covenant shall be in q your flesh for an ever- 
lasting covenant. 

1 4 And the uncircumcised man-child, whose flesh 
of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be 
r cut off from his people ; he hath 3 broken my covenant. 

1 5 IT And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai 
thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah 
sliall her name be. 

1 6 And I will l bless her, and give thee a son also 
of her; yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother 
of " nations ; kings of people shall be of her. 

17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and x laughed, 
and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him 
that is a hundred years old ? and shall Sarah, that is 
ninety years old, bear 1 

1 3 And Abraham said unto God, Oh that Ishmael 
might live y before thee ! 

19 And. God said, z Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a 
son indeed ; and thou shalt call his name a Isaac : and 

1 will establish my covenant with him for an everlast- 
ing covenant, ana with his seed after him. 

20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee : Behold, 
I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and 
will multiply him exceedingly : b twelve princes shall 
he beget ; and I will make him a great nation.

21 But c my covenant will I establish with Isaac,

the next year. 

22 And he left off talking with him, and God d went 
up from Abraham. 

23 IF And Abraham c took Ishmael his son, and all 
that were born in his house, and all that were bought d'Si 35, 13. 
with his money, every male among the men of Abra- ?- MaL 16 *

skin in the s self-same day, as God had said unto him. 

24 And Abraham was h ninety years old and nine, 
when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 

25 And I shmael his son ivas thirteen years old, when 
he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 

26 In the self-same day was Abraham circumcised, 
and Ishmael his son ; 

27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, 
and bought with money of the stranger, were circum- 
cised ' with him. 

CHAP. XVIII. 

1 Abraham entertaineth three angels. 17 The destruction 
of Sodom is revealed to Abraham. 
ND the Lord a appeared unto him in the plains a James 2 
of Mamre : and he sat in the tent-door in the heat 2i 
of the day : 

2 And he lift up his eyes, and looked, and, lo, b three 
men stood by him : and when he saw them, he c ran to 
meet them from the tent-door, and u bowed himself 
toward the ground, 

3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found e favour e ch. 32, 5 
in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy ser- 
vant : 

4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and 

f wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree : ( ch - *9> & 

5 And I will fetch a morsel of g bread, and ''com- § Ma*- c.

6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, 

and said, Make ready quickly k three measures of 'fine k Mat. 
meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. f c ' h 4

8 And he took butter and milk, and the calf which

am intercedcth for Sodom. CHAP. XIX. 

1 6 IT And the men rose up from thence, and look- 
ed toward Sodom : and Abraham went with them 
b to bring them on the way. 

1 7 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham 
that thing which C I do ; 

18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a 
great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the 
earth shall be blessed d in him ? 

1 9 For e I know him, that he will f command his 
children and his household after him, and they shall 
keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judg- 
ment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that 
which he hath spoken of him. 

20 And the Lord said, Because the g cry of Sodom 
and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very 
grievous ; 

21 I h will go down now, and see whether they 
have done altogether according to the cry of it, which 
is come unto me ; and if not, I will ' know. 

22 And the men turned their faces from thence, 
and went toward Sodom : but Abraham k stood yet 
before the Lord. 

23 And Abraham ' drew near, and said, Wilt thou 
also destroy m the righteous with the wicked ? 

24 Peradventure there be My righteous within the 
city : wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place 
for the fifty righteous that are therein ? 

25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, 
to slay the righteous with the wicked ; and that the 
righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from 
thee. " Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 

26 And the Lord said, H 1 find in Sodom fifty right- 
eous within the city, then I will spare all ° the place 
for their sakes. 

27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, 
I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which 
am p but dust and ashes : 

28 Peiadventure there shall lack five of the fifty 
righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? 
And lie said, If I find there forty and five, I will not 
destroy it. 

29 And he spake unto him q yet a<rain, and said, 
Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he 
said, I will not do it for forty's sake. 

30 And he said xinlo him. r O let not the Lord be 
angry, and I will speak : Peradventure there shall 
thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it if 
I find thirty there. 

31 And he said, Behold now, 6 I have taken upon 
me to speak unto the Lord : Peradventure there shall 
be twenty found there. And he said, I will not de- 
stroy it for twenty's sake. 

32 And he said, O let not the Lord be angry, and 
I will speak yet but this once : Peradventure ten shall 
be found there. And he said. l l will not destroy it for 
ten's sake. 

33 And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had 
left communing with Abraham : and Abraham re- 
turned unto his place. 

CHAP. XIX. 

1 Lot entertainelh two angels. 4 The vicious Sodomites are 
stricken with blindness. 24 Sodom and Gomorrah are de- 
stroyed. 26 Lot's wife is made a pillar of salt. 31 The 
incestuous origin of Moab and Amnion. 
ND there came * two angels to Sodom at even : 
and Lot sat b in (he pate of Sodom: and Lot, 
seeing tb&if, rose up to meet them; and he. bowed 
himself with his face toward the ground; 



Tlie Sodomites stricken blind. 



2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I 
pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all 
night, c and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, 
and go on your ways. And they said, d Nay , but we 
will abide in the street all night. 

3 And he e pressed upon them greatly ; and they 
f turned in unto him, and entered into his house : and 
he made them a feast, and did bake g unleavened 
bread, and they did eat. 

4 But h before they lay down, the men of the city, 
even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, 
' both old and young, all the people from every quarter : 

5 And k they called unto Lot, and said unto him, 
Where are the men which came in to thee this night ? 
bring them out unto us, that we may ' know them. 

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and 
shut the door after him, 

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wick- 
edly. 

8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have 
not known man ; let me, I pray 3^011, m bring them out 
unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes : 
only unto these men do nothing ; for therefore came 
they- under the n shadow of my roof. 

9 And they said, ° Stand back. And they said 
again, This one fellow came in p to sojourn, and he 
will q needs be a judge : now will we r deal worse 
with thee than with them. And they pressed sore upon 
the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. 

10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled 
Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 

1 1 And they smote the men that were at the door 
of the house with t blindness, both small and great ; 
so that they wearied themselves to find the door. 

1 2 II And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here 
any besides ? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy 
daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, 
s bring them out of this place : 

13 For we will destroy this place, because the 
' cry of them is waxen great before the face of the 
Lord ; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. 

14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons-in- 
law, which u married liis daughters, and said, Up, 
"get ye out of this place; for the Lord will destroy 
this city. But he seemed as one that y mocked unto 
his sons-in-law. 

1 5 And when the morning arose, then the angels 
hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy 
two daughters, which are here ; lest thou be consu- 
med z in the iniquity of the city. 

16 And while he "lingered, the men laid h hold 
upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and 
upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being 
c merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and 
set him without the city. 

17 And it came to pass, when they had brought 
them forth abroad, that ll he said, Escape e for thy life ; 
r look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; 
escape to the E mountain, lest thou be consumed. 

18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, h not so, my lord : 

19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy 
sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou 
liasl shewed unto me in saving my life; and I can- 
not escape to the mountain, lest some 'evil take me, 
and 1 die. 

20 Behold now, ibis cUy is near to flee unto, and 
it is a little one : Oh, let me escape thither, (« it 
not a little one .') and mv soul shall live.

Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed. GENESIS 

21 And he said unto him, See, I have k accepted 
thee concerning this thing also, that I will not over- 
throw this city, for the which thou hast spoken. 

22 Haste thee, escape thither ; for ' I cannot do 
any thing till thou be come thither : therefore the 
name of the city was called Zoar. 

23 The sun was m risen upon the earth when Lot 
entered into Zoar. 

24 Then the Lord rained upon n Sodom, and upon 
Gomorrah, brimstone and fire from the Lord out of 
heaven ; 

25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, 
and all the inhabitants of the cities, and ° that which 
grew upon the ground.

l \ is 21 * ne P^ ace where r he stood before the Lord : 

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, 
and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, 
lo, the 3 smoke of the country went up as the smoke 
of a furnace. 

29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the 
cities of the plain, that God * remembered Abraham, 
and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when 
he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. 

30 IT And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt u in 
the mountain, and his two daughters with him ; for he 
feared to dwell in Zoar : and he dwelt in a cave, he 
and his two daughters. 

31 And the first-bom said unto the younger, Our 
father is old, and there is x not a man in the earth y to 
come in unto us after the manner of all the earth : 

32 z Come, let us make our father drink wine, and 
we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of 
our father. 

33 And they made their father a drink wine that 
night : and the first-born went in, and lay with her 
father ; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor 
when she arose. 

34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the 
first-born said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yester- 
night with my father : let us make him drink wine 
this night also ; and go thou in, and lie witli him, that 
we may preserve seed of our father. 

35 And they made their father drink wine that night 
also : and the younger arose, and lay with him ; and 
he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she 
arose. 

36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child

1 Abraham sojourneth at Gerar : 2 He denieih hit wife, and 
loseth her, 

ND Abraham journeyed a from thence towards 
the south country, and dwelled between b Ka- 
desh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. 

2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, c She is 
my sister : and Abimelech king of Gerar sent and 
took Sarah. 

3 But u God came to Abimelech in a dream by 
night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but e a

Abimelech reproved by 

dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken ; for 
she is a man's wife. 

4 But Abimelech had f not come near her : and he 
said, Lord, wilt thou slay also g a righteous nation ? 

5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister l and she, 
even she herself, said, He is my brother : h In the in- 
tegrity of my heart, and innocency of my hands, have 
I done this. 

6 And God said unto him in a dream, ' Yea, I 
know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart ; 
for I also k withheld thee from sinning l against me : 
therefore t suffered I thee not to touch her. 

7 Now, therefore, restore the man his wife ; for he 
is m a prophet, and he n shall pray for thee, and thou 
shalt live : and if thou ° restore her not, know thou 
that thou shalt surely die, p thou, and all that are thine. 

8 Therefore Abimelech q rose early in the morning, 
and called all his servants, and- told all these things 
in their ears : and the men were sore afraid. 

9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto 
him, What hast thou done unto us ? and what have 
I offended thee, that thou hast r brought on me and 
on my kingdom a s great sin ? thou hast done deeds 
unto me that ought not to be done. 

10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What 
sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing '? 

1 1 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely 
the * fear of God is not in this place ; and they will 
slay me for my wife's sake. 

1 2 And yet indeed she is " my sister ; she is the 
daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my 
mother ; and she became my wife. 

13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to 
x wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, 
This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me ; 
at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He 
is my brother. 

1 4 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men- 
servants, and women-servants, and gave them unto 
Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. 

1 5 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before 
thee : dwell where it pleaseth thee. 

1 6 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given 
y thy brother a thousand pieces of silver ; behold, he 
is to thee a covering of the eyes unto all that are with 
thee, and with all other : z thus she was reproved. 

1 7 So Abraham prayed unto God : and God * heal- 
ed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants ; 
and they bare children. 

1 8 For the Lord had b fast closed up all the wombs 
of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abra- 
ham's wife. 

CHAP. XXI. 

4 He is circumcised

ND the Lord a visited Sarah as he had said, and 
, the Lord did unto Sarah b as he had spoken : 

2 For Sarah c conceived, and bare Abraham a son 
in his old age, at the d set time of which God had 
spoken to him. 

3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was 
born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, e Isaac. 

4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being 
r eight days old, as God had commanded him. 

5 And Abraham was a hundred years old when 
his son Isaac was born unto him. 

6 And Sarah said, God hath made me tc laugh, g so 
that all that hear will laugh with me.

7 And she said, h Who would have said unto Abra- 
ham, that Sarah should have given children ' suck 1 
for I have borne him a son in his old age. 

8 And the child grew, and was k weaned : and 
Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac 
was weaned. 

9 IT And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, 
which she had borne unto Abraham, ' mocking : 

10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, m Cast out 
this bond- woman and her son : for the son of this bond- 
woman shall not be n heir with my son, even with Isaac. 

1 1 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's 
sight, ° because of his son. 

12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be 
grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because 
of thy bond-woman : in all that Sarah hath said unto 
thee, hearken unto her voice ; for p in Isaac shall thy 
seed be called. 

1 3 And also of the son of the bond- woman will I 
q make a nation, because he is thy seed. 

1 4 IT And Abraham rose up early in the morning, 
and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto 
Hagar, (putting it on her shoulder,) and the child, and 
sent her away : and she departed, and r wandered in 
the wilderness of Beer-sheba. 

1 5 And the water was s spent in the bottle, and she 
cast the child under one of the shrubs. 

1 6 And she went and sat her down over against 
him, a good way off, as it were a bow-shot : for she 
said, Let me not see the l death of the child. And she 
sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept. 

1 7 And God heard the voice of the lad : and the 
angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said 
unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar 1 fear not ; for 
God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 

18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine 
hand ; for I will make him a great nation. 

19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a u well 
of water ; and she went, and filled the bottle with 
water, and gave the lad drink. 

20 And God was with the lad ; and he grew, and 
dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. 

21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and 
his * mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. 

22 IT And it came to pass at that time, that y Abime- 
lech, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, spake 
unto Abraham, saying, z God is with thee in all that 
thou doest : 

23 Now, therefore, a swear unto me here by God. 
b that thou wilt not deal falsely \wth me, nor with my 
son, nor with my son's son : but according to the kind- 
ness that c I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto 
me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. 

24 And Abraham said, d I will swear. 

25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of 
e a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had 
violently taken away. 

26 And Abimelech said, f I wot not who hath done 
this thing ; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard 
I of it but to-day. 

27 And Abraham g took sheep and oxen, and gave 
them unto Abimelech ; and both of them made a 
covenant. 

28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the 
flock by themselves. 

29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham,What mean 
these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast set by them- 
selves ? 



30 And he said, For these, seven ewe-lambs shalt 
thou take of my hand, that they may be h a witness 
unto me that I have digged this well. 

31 Wherefore he called that place || Beer-sheba ; 
because there they sware both of them. 

32 Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba : 
Then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief cap- 
tain of his host, and they returned into the land of the 
Philistines. 

33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, 
and called there on the name of the Lord, j the ever- 
lasting God. 

34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land 
many days. 

CHAP. XXII. 

1 Abraham is templed to offer Isaac : 3 He giveth proof 
of his faith and obedience. 

ND it came to pass, a after these tilings, that God 
did b tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abra- 
ham : and he said, Behold, c here I am. 

2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine u only son 
Isaac, e whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land 
of f Mori ah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering 
upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. 

3 And Abraham 6 rose up early in the morning, 
and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men 
with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for 
the burnt-offering, and rose up, and went unto the 
place of which God had told him. 

4 Then on the third clay Abraham lift up his eyes, 
and h saw the place afar off. 

5 And Abraham said unto his young men, J Abide 
you here with the ass ; and I and the lad will go yon- 
der and worship, and k come again to you. 

6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offer- 
ing, and ' laid it upon Isaac his son ; and he took the 
fire in his hand, and a knife : and they went both of 
them together. 

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and 
said, My father : and he said, Here am I, my son. 
And he said, Behold the fire and the wood ; but where 
is the m lamb for a burnt-offering ? 

8 And Abraham said, My son, n God will provide 
himself a lamb for a burnt-offering : so they went both 
of them together. 

9 And they came to the place which God had told 
him of: and Abraham built ° an altar there, and laid

10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and

11 And the r angel of the Lord called unto 
9 out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: 
he said, Here am I. 

12 And he said, l Lay not thine hand upon the lad, 
neither do thou any thing unto liim : for now u 1 know 
that thou x fcarest God, seeing thou hast not withheld 
thy son, thine only son. from me. 

13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, 
and, behold, y behind him z a ram caught in a a thicket 
by his horns ; and Abraham went and took the ram, 
and offered him up for a burnt-offering in the stead of 
his son. 

14 And Abraham called the name of that place 
|| Jehovah-jireh : as it is said to this day, In the mount 
of the Lord b it shall be seen. 

15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abra-

ND Sarah was a a hundred and seven and twenty

2 And Sarah died c in Kirjath-arba ; the same is 
Hebron in the land of Canaan : and Abraham came

3 And Abraham stood up e from before his dead,

4 Iam 6 a stranger and a sojourner with you : give 
me a possession of a h burying-place with you, that I 
may bury my dead ' out of my sight. 

5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, 
saying unto him, 

6 Hear us, my lord : Thou art t a mighty prince 
k among us : in the choice of our sepulchres bury 
thy dead: none of us shall withhold from thee his 
sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. 

7 And Abraham stood up, and ' bowed himself to

9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah

10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of

him, 

1 5 My lord, hearken unto me : The land is worth 
four hundred shekels of silver ; what is that betwixt 
me and thee ? bury therefore thy dead. 

1 6 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron ; and 
Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had

chant.

5 And the servant said unto him, h Peradventure

Abrahams servant journey cth : 

ham, I pray thee, p send me good speed this day, and 
shew kindness unto my master Abraham. 

1 3 Behold, I q stand here by the well of water ; 
pfi2 2 7 7 ,'i°' and the daughters of the men of the city come out to 
l Thes's. 3, draw water : 

14 And Met it come to pass, that the damsel to 
whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, 
that I may drink ; and she shall say, Drink ; and I 
will give thy camels drink also : let the same be she 
that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac ; and 
thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness 
unto my master. 

15 And it came to pass, s before he had done speak- 
ing, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born 
to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abra- 
ham's brother, with her * pitcher upon her shoulder. 

1 6 And the damsel t was very fair to look upon, a 
virgin ; neither had any man u known her : and she 
went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and 
came up. 

1 7 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let 
me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. 

18 And she said, Drink, my lord : and she hasted, 
and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave 
him drink. 

1 9 And, when she had done giving him drink, she 
said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they 
have done drinking. 

20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into 
the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw 
water, and drew for all his camels. 

21 And the man, x wondering at her, * held his 
peace, to wit, whether the Lord had made his jour- 
ney prosperous or not. 

22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done 
Or, jewel drinking, that the man took a golden || ear-ring of half 

a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of 
ten shekels weight of gold, 

23 And said, Whose daughter art thou ? tell me, I 
pray thee. Is there room in thy father's house for us 
to lodge in ? 

24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of 
Bethuel z the son of Milcah, which she bare unto 
Nahor. 

25 She said moreover unto him, We have both 
straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in. 

26 And the man a bowed down his head, and wor 
shipped the Lord. 

27 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my 
bch. 32,10. master Abraham, who hath b not left destitute my 

master of his mercy and his truth : I being in the 
way, the Lord 'led me to the house of my master's 
c brethren. 

28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her d n 
ther's house these things. 

29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name icas 
Laban : and Laban ran out unto the man unto the 
well. 

30 And it came to pass, when he saw the ear-ring, 
and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he 
heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus 
spake the man unto me, that he came unto the man ; 
and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well. 

Ruth 2 !' 10 31 And he said, Come in, thou e blessed of the 
Ps! us', 15! Lord ; wherefore standest thou without? for I have 

prepared the house, and room for the camels. 

32 And the man came into the house : and he un- 

girded his camels, and gave straw and provender for

the camels, and water to f wash his feet, and the 
men's feet that were with him. 

33 And there was set meat before him to eat : but 
he said, g I will not eat until I have told mine errand. 
And he said, Speak on. 

34 And he said, I am h Abraham's servant. 

35 And ' the Lord hath blessed my master greatly, 
and he is become great : and he hath given him 
flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and men- 
servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses. 

36 And Sarah, my master's wife, bare a son to my 
master when she k was old : and unto him hath he 
given all that he hath. 

37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou 
shalt not take a wife to my son ' of the daughters of 
the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell : 

38 But thou shalt go unto m my father's house, and 
to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son. 

39 And I said unto my master, n Peradventure the 
woman will not follow me. 

40 And he said unto me, The Lord, ° before whom 
I walk, will send his angel with thee, and p prosper 
thy way ; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of 
my kindred, and of my father's house. 

41 Then shalt thou be clear from this q my oath, 
when thou comest to my kindred ; and if they give 
not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. 

42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, 
O Lord God of my master Abraham, if now thou do 
r prosper my way which I go ; 

43 Behold, s I stand by the well of water ; and it 
shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth 
to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, 
a little water of thy pitcher to drink ; 

44 And she say to me, l Both drink thou, and I will 
also draw for thy camels : let the same be the woman 
whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master's 
son. 

45 And before I had done speaking u in mine heart, 
behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her 
shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and 
drew water : and I said unto her, Let me drink, I 
pray thee. 

46 And she made haste, and let clown her pitcher 
from her shoulder, and said, Drink ; and I will give 
thy camels drink also. So I drank, and she made the 
camels drink also. 

47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art 
thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Na- 
hor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him : and I put 
the ear-ring x upon her face, and the bracelets upon 
her hands. 

48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped 
the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master 
Abraham, which had led me in the y right way, to 
take my master's brother's daughter unto his son. 

49 And now, if you will deal t kindly and truly 
with my master, tell me : and if not, tell me ; that I 
may turn to the right hand or to the left. 

50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, 
The thing proceedeth from the Lord ; we cannot 
speak unto thee z bad or good. 

51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and 
go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the Lord 
hath spoken. 

52 And it came to pass, that when Abraham's ser- 
vant heard their words, he a worshipped the Lord, 
bowing himself io the earth.

53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, 
and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to 
Rebekah : he gave also to her brother and to her 
mother b precious things. 

54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men 
th/\t were with him, and tarried all night : and they 
roie up in the morning ; and he said, c Send me away 
unto my master. 

55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the 
damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten ; 
after that she shall go. 

56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing 
the Lord hath prospered my way ; send me away, 
that I may go to my master. 

57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and 
inquire d at her mouth. 

58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, 
Wilt thou go with this man ? And she said, I will go. 

59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and 
her e nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men. 

60 And they f blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, 
Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of g thousands 
of millions, and let thy seed h possess the gate of those 
which hate them. 

6 1 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they 
rode upon the camels, and ' followed the man ; and 
the servant took Rebekah, and went his way. 

62 And Isaac came from the way of the well 
k Lahai-roi ; for he dwelt in the 1 south country. 

63 And Isaac went out to || m meditate in the field 
at the even-tide ; and he lift up his eyes, and saw, 
and, behold, the camels were coming. 

64 And Rebekah lift up her eyes ; and when she 
saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. 

65 For she had said unto the servant, What man 
is this that walketh in the field to meet us ? And the 
servant had said, It is my master : therefore she took 
n a veil and covered herself. 

66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he 
had done. 

67 And Isaac brought her into his mother ° Sarah's 
tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, 
and he p loved her : and Isaac was comforted after 
his mother's death. 

CHAP. XXV. 

2 The sons of Abraham by Keturah : 7 His age and death. 
12 The generations of Ishmael. 21 Isaac prayeth for 
Rebekah, being barren. 24 The birth of Esau and Jacob. 
29 Esau selleth his birthright. 

THEN a again Abraham took a b wife, and her 
name was Keturah. 

2 And she c bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and 
d Medan, and e Midian, and Ishbak, and f Shuah. 

3 And Jokshan begat Sheba and Dedan. And 
the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and 
Leummim. 

4 And the sons of Midian ; g Ephah, and Epher, 
and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these 
were the children of Keturah. 

5 And Abraham gave h all that he had unto 
Isaac. 

6 But unto the sons of the 'concubines, which 
Abraham had, Abraham gave k gifts, and sent them 
away from Isaac his son (while he yet lived) l east- 
ward, unto the east country. 

7 And these are the days of the years of Abra- 
ham's life, which he lived, m a hundred threescore 
and fifteen years. 



8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died D in 
a good old age, an old man, and full of pears ; and 
was ° gathered to his people. 

9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in 
the cave of Machpelah, in the p field of Ephron, the 
son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre ; 

10 The field which Abraham purchased of the 
sons of Heth : there was Abraham q buried, and 
Sarah his wife. 

1 1 And it came to pass, after the death of Abra- 
ham, that God r blessed his son Isaac : and Isaac 
dwelt by the well Lahai-roi. 

12 IT Now these are the generations of Ishmael, 
Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's 
handmaid, bare unto Abraham. 

1 3 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, 
by their names, according to their generations : The 
first-born of Ishmael, s Nebajoth"; and t Kedar, and 
Adbeel, and Mibsam, 

14 And Mishma, "and Dumah, and Massa, 

1 5 Hadar, and * Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Ke- 
demah : 

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are 
their names, by their towns, and by their castles ; 
y twelve princes according to their nations. 

1 7 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, 
a hundred and thirty and seven years : and he gave 
up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his 
people. 

1 8 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is 
before Egypt, as thou goest towards Assyria : and he 
t died in the presence of all his brethren. 

19 IT And these are the generations of Isaac, 
Abraham's son : Abraham begat Isaac : 

20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took 
Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian 
of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the z Syrian. 

21 And Isaac a entreated the Lord for his wife, 
because she was b barren : and the Lord was en- 
treated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 

22 And the children || struggled together within 
her : and she said, If it be so, why am I thus ? And 
she went to inquire of the Lord. 

23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are 
in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be 
separated from thy bowels : and the one people shall 
be stronger than the other people ; and the elder c shall 
serve the younger. 

24 And when her days to be delivered were ful- 
filled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 

25 And the first came out d red, all over like a 
hairy garment ; and they called his name Esau. 

26 And after that came his brother out, and his 
hand e took hold on Esau's heel ; and his name was 
called Jacob : and Isaac was threescore years old 
when she bare them. 

27 And the boys grew : and Esau was f a cunning 
hunter, a man of the field ; and Jacob was a g plain 
man, h dwelling in tents. 

28 And Isaac loved Esau, because t he did eat of 
his venison ; but Rebekah loved Jacob. 

29 IF And Jacob sod pottage : and Esau came from 
the field, and he was ' faint. 

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, 
t with that same red pottage ; for I am faint : there- 
fore was his name called Edom. 

31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy k birth-

And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philis-

6 IT And Isaac dwelt in ' Gerar : 

7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife : 
and he said, She is m my sister : for he feared n to 
say, She is my wife ; lest, said he, the men of the 
place should kill me for Rebekah, because she was 
fair to look upon. 

8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a 
long time, that Abimelech, king of the Philistines, 

looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac 
was p sporting with Rebekah his wife. 

9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, 
of a surety she is thy wife : and q how saidst thou, 
She is my sister ? And Isaac said unto him, Because 

1 said, Lest I die for her. 

10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast 
done unto us ? one of the people might lightly have 
lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought 
guiltiness upon us. 

1 1 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, 
He that r toucheth this man, or his wife, shall surely 
be put to death. 

12 IT Then Isaac sowed in that land, and t receiv- 
ed in the same year s a hundred-fold ; and the Lord 
1 blessed him. 

13 And the man waxed great, and t went forward, 
and grew until ne became very great : 

1 4 For he had u possession of flocks, and possession 
of herds, and great store of servants. And the Philis- 
tines x envied him. 

15 For all the wells which his father's servants 
had digged, in the days of Abraham his father, the 
Philistines had y stopped them, and filled them with 
earth. 

16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; 
for thou art much mightier than we. 

1 7 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his 
tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. 

18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water 
which they had digged in the days of Abraham his 



father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the 
death of Abraham : and he z called their names after 
the names by which his father had called them. 

1 9 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and 
found there a well of t springing water. 

20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's 
herdmen, saying, The water is ours : and he called 
the name of the well j| Esek ; because they strove 
with him. 

21 And they digged another well, and strove for 
that also: and he called the name of it || Sitnah. 

22 And he removed from thence, and digged an- 
other well ; and for that they strove not : and he called 
the name of it || Rehoboth ; and he said, For now the 
Lord hath a made room for us, and we shall be fruitful 
in the land. 

23 And he went up from thence to b Beer-sheba. 

24 And the Lord appeared unto him the same 
night, and said, I am the God c of Abraham thy father ; 
d fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and 
multiply thy seed, for my servant Abraham's sake. 

25 And he builded an e altar there, and called upon 
the name of the Lord, and t pitched his tent there : 
and there Isaac's servants digged a well. 

26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and 
Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief 
captain of his army. 

27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye 
to me, f seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away 
from you ? 

28 And they said, tWe saw certainly that the 
Lord was with thee : and we said, Let there be now 
6 an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and 
let us make a covenant with thee ; 

29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have h not 
touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing 
but good, and have sent thee away in peace : thou 
art now the blessed of the Lord. 

30 And he made them ' a feast, and they did eat 
and drink. 

31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and 
sware one to another : and Isaac sent them away, 
and they departed from him in peace. 

32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's 
servants came and told him concerning the well 
which they had k digged, and said unto him, 1 We 
have found water. 

33 And he called it || Shebah : therefore the name 
of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day. 

34 IT And Esau was m forty years old when he took 
to wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and 
Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite : 

35 Winch were t a grief of mind unto Isaac and to 
Rebekah.

AND it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, 
and his a eyes were dim, so that lie could not 
see, he called Esau his b eldest %on, and said unto 
him, My son. And he said unto him, Behold, here 
am I. 

2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, e 1 know 
not the day of my death : 

3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, 
thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and 
t take me some venison }

4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and 
bring it to me, that (1 I may eat ; that my e soul may 
bless f thee before I die. 

5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau 
his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for 
venison, and to bring it. 

6 IT And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, say- 
ing, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy 
brother, saying, 

7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, 
that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord 6 be- 
fore my death. 

8 Now therefore, my son, h obey my voice, accord- 
ing to that which I command thee : 

9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence 
two good kids of the goats ; and 1 will make them 
savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth : 

1 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may 
eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. 

1 1 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, 
Esau my brother is ' a hairy man, and I am a smooth 
man : 

12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall 
seem to him k as a deceiver ; and I shall bring ' a 
curse upon me, and not a blessing. 

1 3 And his mother said unto him, m Upon me be 
thy curse, my son ; only obey my voice, and go fetch 
me them. 

1 4 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to 
his mother : and his mother made savoury meat, such 
as his father loved. 

1 5 And Rebekah took t goodly raiment of her 
eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, 
and put them upon Jacob her younger son : 

1 6 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats 
upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his' neck : 

17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, 
which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. 

1 8 And he came unto his father, and said, My fa- 
ther : And he said, Here am I ; who art thou, my son ? 

19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau n thy 
first-born ; I have done according as thou badest me : 
arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy 
soul may bless me. 

20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou 
hast found it so quickly, my son ? And he said, Be- 
cause the Lord thy God brought it to me. 

21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, ° Come near, I 
pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou 
be my very son Esau or not. 

22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father ; 
and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, 
but the hands are the hands of Esau. 

23 And he discerned him not, because his hands 
were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he 
p blessed him. 

24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau ? And 
he said, q I am. 

25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will 
eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. 
And he brought it near to him, and he did eat : and 
he brought him wine, and he drank. 

26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near 
now, and kiss me, my son. 

27 And he came near, and kissed him : and he 
smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and 
said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell r of a 
field which the Lord hath blessed : 




s Hosea 
14, 6, 7.

28 Therefore God give thee of the s dew of heaven, 
and the l fatness of the earth, and plenty of u corn and

29 Let people * serve thee, and nations bow down

sons bow down to thee : y cursed be every one that ^Tanri n'. 
curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. Deut. zi'i. 

30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made £. s aj ™'J'

gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that * i 9 > ~°- 
Esau his brother came in from his hunting. "5. a '

32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art 
thou ? And he said, I am thy son, thy first-born, Esau. 

33 And Isaac t trembled very exceedingly, and t H< *- 
said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and with a great 






brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou 
earnest, and have blessed him ? yea, and z he shall be 
blessed.

35 And he said, Thy brother came with b subtilty, >> Rom - 3 » 7 «

36 And he said, Is not he rightly c named Jacob? cch. 25,26. 
for he hath supplanted me these two times : he took

away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not re-

37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Be- 
hold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren 
have I given to him for servants ; and with corn and 
wine have I sustained him : and what shall I do now 
unto thee, my son ? 

38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but 
one blessing, my father? bless me, even me 'also, O 
my father ! And Esau lift up his voice, and d wept. 

39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto 
him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the e fatness of the

41 IT And Esau ' hated Jacob, because of the bless-

in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are 
at hand, ' then will I slay my brother Jacob. 

42 And these words of Esau her elder son were

AND Isaac called Jacob, and a blessed him, and 
charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not 
take a wife of the b daughters of Canaan. 

2 Arise, go to c Padan-aram, to the house of Be- 
thuel thy mother's father, and take thee d a wife from 
thence of the daughters of Laban, thy mother's brother. 

3 And e God Almighty bless thee, and make thee 
fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be t a 
multitude of people ; 

4 And give thee the f blessing of Abraham, to thee, 
and to thy" seed with thee ; that thou mayest inherit 
the land s wherein thou art a stranger, which God 
h gave unto Abraham. 

5 And Isaac sent away Jacob : and he went to 
Padan-aram, unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, 
the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother. 

6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, 
and sent him away to Padan-aram, to take him a 
wife from thence ; and that, as he blessed him, he gave 
him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of 
the daughters of Canaan ; 

7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, 
and was gone to Padan-aram ; 

8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan 
5 pleased not Isaac his father ; 

9 Then went Esau unto k Ishmael, and took unto 



Mahalath the daughter of 
the sister of Nebajoth, to 



b 1 Kings 
12, 28. 



the wives which he had, 
Ishmael, Abraham's son. 
be his wife. 

10 IT And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and 
went toward Haran. 

1 1 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tar- 
ried there all night, because the sun was set : and he 
took of the D stones of that place, and put them/or his 

pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. 

1 2 And he p dreamed, and, behold, q a ladder set 
up on the r earth, and the s top of it reached to heaven : 
and, behold, the angels of God l ascending and de- 
scending on it. 

1 3 And, behold, the Lord u stood above it, and 
said, I am the Lord God of x Abraham thy father, 
and the God of Isaac : the land whereon thou liest, 
to thee will I give it, and y to thy seed ; 

14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth ; 
and thou shalt t spread abroad to the west, and to 
the east, and to the north, and to the south : and in 
thee, and in thy seed, shall z all the families of the 
earth be blessed. 

1 5 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee 
in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee 
again into this land : a for I will not leave thee, until 

1 have done that which 1 have spoken to thee of. 

16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, 
Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. 

1 7 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is 
this place ! this is none other but the house of God, 
and this is the gate of heaven. 

18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and 
took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set 
it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. 

l'J And he called the name of that place b Beth-cl : 
but the name of that city was called Luz at the first. 



20 And Jacob vowed 



a vow, saying, If God will 
be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, 
and will give me c bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 

21 So that I come again to my father's house in 
peace, then shall the Lord be d my God : 

22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, 
shall be e God's house : and of all that thou shalt give 
me, 1 1 will surely give the tenth unto thee. 

CHAP. XXIX. 

1 Jacob cometh to the well of Haran: 18 He covenanteth 
for Rachel : 23 He is deceived with Leah : 28 He mar- 
rieth also Rachel, and serveth for her seven years more. 
HEN Jacob t went on his journey, and came 
into the land of the people of the east. 

2 And he looked, and behold a a well in the field, 
and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep b lying by it ; 
for out of that well they watered the flocks : and a 
great stone was upon the well's mouth. 

3 And thither were all the flocks gathered : and 
they c rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and 
watered the sheep, and d put the stone again upon the 
well's mouth in his place. 

4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence 
be ye ? And they said, Of Haran are we. 

5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban e the son 
of Nahor ? And they said, We know him. 

6 And he said unto them, t Is he well 1 And they 
said, He is well ; and, behold, Rachel his daughter 
cometh with the sheep. 

7 And he said, Lo, it is f yet high day, neither is it 
time that the cattle should be gathered together : wa- 
ter ye the sheep, and go and feed them. 

8 And they said, g We cannot until all the flocks 
be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from 
the well's mouth ; then we water the sheep. 

9 And h while he yet spake with them, Rachel 
came with her father's sheep ; for she i kept them. 

1 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel 
the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the 
sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went 
near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and 
watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. 

1 1 And Jacob k kissed Rachel, and ' lifted up his 
voice, and wept. 

12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her m father's

13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the

16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of 
the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was 
Rachel. 

17 Leah vms tender-eyed; but Rachel was beau- 
tiful and well-favoured. 

18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will 
q serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger 
daughter. 

19 And Laban said, It is 'bettor that I give her to 
thee, than that 1 should give her to another man: 
abide with me.

20 And Jacob served s seven years for Rachel ; 
and they seemed unto him but l a few days, for the 
u love he had to her. 

21 And Jacob said untoLaban, Give me x my wife, 
for my days are fulfilled, that I may y go in unto her. 

22 And Laban gathered together all the men of 
the place, and made z a feast. 

23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he 
a took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him : 
and he went in unto her. 

24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah, Zil- 
pah his maid,ybr b a handmaid. 

25 And it came to pass, that in the c morning, be- 
hold, it was Leah : and he said to Laban, What is 
this thou hast done unto me ? Did not I serve with thee 
for Rachel ? wherefore then hast thou d beguiled me ? 

26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our 
country, to give the younger before the first-born. 

27 e Fulfil her week, and we will give thee r this 
also, 6 for the service which thou shalt serve with me 
yet seven other years. 

28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week : and 
he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. 

29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bil- 
hah his handmaid, to be her maid. 

30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved 
also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet 
seven other years. 

31 And when the Lord h saw that Leah was 
1 hated, he k opened her womb : but Rachel was 
1 barren. 

32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she 
called his name || Reuben : for she said, Surely the 
Lord hath looked upon my affliction ; now, therefore, 
my husband will love me. 

33 And she conceived again, and bare a son ; and 
said, Because the Lord hath heard that I was hated, 
he hath therefore given me this son. also: and she 
called his name || Simeon. 

34 And she conceived again, and bare a son ; and 
said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto 
me, because I have borne him three sons : therefore 
was his name called || Levi. 

35 And she conceived again, and bare a son : and 
she said, Now will I praise the Lord : therefore she 
called his name || Judah ; and t left bearing.

1 Rachel's grief for her barrenness. 5 Bilhah beareth Dan 
and Naphtali. 9 Leah beareth Gad and Asher. 14 
Reuben findeth mandrakes. 17 Leah beareth Issachar, 
Zebulun, and Dinah. 22 Rachel beareth Joseph. 25 Ja-

rometh rich. 

ND when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no 
children, Rachel a envied her sister ; and said 
unto Jacob, Give me children, or b else I die. 

2 And Jacob's c anger was kindled against Rachel ; 
and he said, Am I d in God's stead, who hath with- 
held from thee the fruit of the womb ? 

3 And she said, Behold e my maid Bilhah, go in 
unto her ; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I 
may also t have children by her. 

4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife : 
and Jacob went in unto her. 

5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. 

6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath 
also heard my voice, and hath given me a son : there- 
fore called she his name [| Dan. 



7 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived again, 
and bare Jacob a second son. 

8 And Rachel said, With t great wrestlings have I 
wrestled with my sister, and 1 have prevailed : and 
she called his name || Naphtali. 

9 When Leah saw that she had f left bearing, she 
took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob g to wife. 

10 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bare Jacob a son. 

1 1 And Leah said, A troop cometh : and she call- 
ed his name || Gad. 

1 2 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bare Jacob a second 
son. 

13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters 
will h call me blessed : and she called his name j| Asher. 

14 IT And Reuben went, in the days of wheat- 
harvest, and found ' mandrakes in the field, and 
brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel 
said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's 
t mandrakes. 

1 5 And she said unto her, 7s it a small matter that 
thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou 
take away my son's mandrakes also ? And Rachel 
said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy 
son's mandrakes. 

16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, 
and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must 
come in unto me ; for surely I have hired thee with 
my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. 

1 7 And God k hearkened unto Leah, and she con- 
ceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. 

1 8 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, 
because I have given my maiden to my husband : 
and she called his name || Issachar. 

1 9 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the 
sixth son. 

20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a 
good dowry : now will my husband dwell with me, 
because I have borne him six sons : and she called 
his name || Zebulun. 

21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called 
her name || Dinah. 

22 IT And God ' remembered Rachel, and God 
hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 

23 And she conceived and bare a son ; and said, 
God hath taken away m my reproach : 

24 A.nd she called his name || Joseph ; and said, 
The Lord n shall add to me another son. 

25 IT And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne 
Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, 
that I may go unto mine own place, and to my 

country. 

26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom 

1 have served thee, and let me go : for thou knowest 
my service which I have done thee. 

27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I 
have found favour in thine eyes, tarry : for I have 
learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me 
p for thy sake. 

28 And he said, q Appoint me thy wages, and I 
will give it. 

29 And he said unto him, T Thou knowest how I 
have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me. 

30 For it was little which thou hadst s before I 
came, and it is t now increased unto a multitude ; and 
the Lord hath blessed thee t since my coming : and 
now, when shall I l provide for mine own house also ? 

31 And he said, What shall I give thee ? And Ja- 
cob said, Thou shalt u not give me any thing. If thou

wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep 
thy flock : 

32 I will pass through all thy flock to-day, remov- 
ing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, 
and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and die 
spotted and speckled among the goats ; and of such 
shall be x my hire. 

33 So shall y my righteousness z answer for me 
t in time to come, when it shall come for my hire be- 
fore thy face : every one that is not speckled and spot- 
ted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, 
that shall be counted stolen with me. 

34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be 
according to thy word. 

35 And he removed that day the he-goats, that 
were ring-straked and spotted, and all the she-goats 
that were speckled and spotted, and every one that 
had some white in it, and all the brown among the 
sheep, and gave them into the hands of his sons. 

36 And he set three days' journey betwixt him- 
self and Jacob : and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's 
flocks. 

37 And Jacob took him a rods of green poplar, and 
of the t hazel and b chesnut-tree ; and pilled white 
strakes in them, and made the white appear which 
was in the rods. 

38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before 
the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs, when 
the flocks came to drink, that they should t conceive 
when they came to drink. 

39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and 
brought forth cattle ring-straked, speckled, and spotted. 

40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the 
faces of the flocks toward the ring-straked and all the 
brown in the flock of Laban ; and he put his own 
flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's 
cattle. 

41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger 
cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the 
eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might con- 
ceive among the rods : 

42 But when the cattle were c feeble he put them 
not in : so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger 
Jacob's. 

43 And the man t increased t exceedingly, and 
had much cattle, and maid-servants, and men-ser- 
vants, and camels, and asses. 

CHAP. XXXI. 

1 Jacob departeth secretly. 19 Rachel stealeth her father s 
images: 36 Jacob's complaint of Laban. 43 The 
covenant of Laban and Jacob at Galeed. 

AND a he heard the words of b Laban's sons, say- 
ing, Jacob hath c taken away all that was our 
lather's ; and of that which was our fathers hath he 
gotten all this d glory. 

2 And Jacob beheld e the countenance of Laban, 
and, behold, it was not toward him as before. 

3 And f the Lord said unto Jacob, Return unto the 
g land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred ; and I will 
be h with thee. 

4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to 
the field, ' unto his flock, 

5 And said unto them, I see your father's coun- 
tenance, that it is not toward me as before : but the 
God of my father hath been k with me. 

6 And ye know, that with ' all my power I have 
served your father. 

7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed 

D 



my wages m ten times : but n God suffered him not to 
hurt me. 

8 If he said thus, ° The speckled shall be thy wages; 
then all the cattle bare speckled : and if he said thus, 
The ring-straked shall be thy liire ; then, bare all the 
cattle ring-straked. 

9 p Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your 
father, and given them to me. 

10 And it came to pass, at the time that the cattle 
conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and q saw in a 
dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the 
cattle were ring-straked, speckled, and grizzled. 

1 1 And the r angel of God spake unto me in a 
dream, saying, Jacob : And I said, Here am I. 

1 2 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, 
all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring- 
straked, speckled, and grizzled : s for I have seen all 
that Laban doeth unto thee. 

1 3 I am the God of Beth-el, t where thou anointedst 
the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me : 
now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto 
the land of thy kindred. 

1 4 And " Rachel and Leah answered and said unto 
him, Is there yet x any portion or inheritance for us 
in our father's house ? 

1 5 Are we not counted of him strangers ? for he 
hath y sold us, and hath quite devoured also our 
money. 

1 6 For all the riches which God hath taken from 
our father, that is ours and our children's : now then, 
z whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. 

1 7 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his 
wives upon camels : 

1 8 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his 
goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, 
which he had gotten in Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac 
his father in the land of Canaan. 

1 9 And Laban went to shear his sheep : and Ra- 
chel had stolen the + images that were her father's. 

20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the 
Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. 

21 So he fled with all that he had ; and he rose up, 
and passed over a the river, and b set his face* toward 
the mount c Gilead. 

22 And it was told Laban on the d third day, that 
Jacob was fled. 

23 And he took his e brethren with him, and pursued 
after him seven days' f journey; and they overtook him 
in the mount of Gilead. 

24 And g God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream 
by night, and said unto him, h Take heed that thou 
speak not to Jacob ' either good or bad. 

25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had 
pitched his tent in the mount ; and Laban with his 
brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. 

26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, 
that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and car- 
ried away my daughters k as captives taken with the 
sword ? 

27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and 
steal away from me ; and didst not tell me, that ' I 
might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, 
with m tabret and with harp ? 

28 And hast not suffered me n to kiss my sons and 
my daughters ? Thou hast now done ° foolishly in 50 
doing. 

29 It is p in the power of my hand to do you hurt : 
but the God of q your father spake unto me yesternight,

saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob 
either good or bad. 

30 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, 
because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, 
yet wherefore hast thou stolen r my gods ? 

31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Be- 
cause I was s afraid : for I said, Peradventure thou 
•vouldest take by force thy daughters from me. 

32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him 
not live : * before our brethren, discern thou what is 
thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew 
not that Rachel had stolen them. 

33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into 
u Leah's tent, and into the two maid-servants' tents ; 
but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's 
tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. 

34 Now x Rachel had taken the images, and put 
them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. 
And Laban searched all the tent, but found them 
not. 

35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease 
7 my lord that I cannot z rise up before thee ; for the 
a custom of women is upon me. And he searched, 
but found not the images. 

36 And Jacob was b wroth, and clrode with Laban : 
and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my 
trespass, what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pur- 
sued after me ? 

37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what 
hast thou found of all thy household-stuff ? set it here 
before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may 
judge betwixt us both. 

38 These twenty years have I been with thee ; thy 
ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and 
the rams of thy flock have I c not eaten. 

39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not 
unto thee ; I bare the loss of it : of my hand didst 
thou d require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by 
night. 

40 Thus I was ; in the day the drought e consumed 
me, and the frost by night ; and my sleep departed 
from mine eyes. 

41 f Thus have I been twenty years in thy house : 
I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and 
six years for cattle : and thou hast changed my wages 
e ten times. 

42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abra- 
ham, and the h fear of Isaac, had been ' with me, 
surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God 
hath k seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, 
and rebuked thee yesternight. 

43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, 
These daughters are my daughters, and these children 
are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all 
that thou seest is mine : and what can I do this day 
unto these my daughters, or unto their children which 
they have borne ? 

44 Now, therefore, come thou, let us ! make a co- 
venant, I and thou ; and lei it be for a witness between 
me and thee. 

45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a 
pillar. 

46 And Jacob said unto m his brethren, Gather 
stones : and they took stones, and made a heap ; and 
they did eat there upon the heap. 

47 And Laban called it j| Jegar-sahadutha ; but 
Jacob called it Galeed. 

48 And Laban said. This heap is a witness between 



me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it 
called Galeed 5 

49 And j| Mizpah : for he said, The Lord watch 
between me and thee, when we are absent one from 
another. 

50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt 
take other wives besides my daughters, no man is with 
us : see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. 

51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and 
behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and 
thee; 

52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, 
that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that 
thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto 
me, for harm. 

53 The God of Abraham, and the God of n Nahor, 
the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob 
sware ° by the fear of his father Isaac. 

54 Then Jacob p offered sacrifice upon the mount, 
and called his brethren to q eat bread : and they did 
eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. 

55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and 
kissed his sons and his daughters, and r blessed them : 
and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.

3 And Jacob c sent messengers before him to Esau 
his brother, unto the land of d Seir, the country of 
Edom. 

4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye 
speak unto e my lord Esau ; Thy servant Jacob saith 
thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there 
until now : 

5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and men- 
servants, and women-servants : and I have sent to 
tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight. 

6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, 
We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to 
meet thee, and f four hundred men with liim. 

7 Then Jacob was g greatly afraid and distressed : 
and he divided the people that ivas with him, and the 
flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands ; 

8 And said, If Esau come to the one company and 
smite it, then the other company which is left shall 
escape. 

9 And Jacob said, h O God of my father Abraham, hPs. so, 15.

unto me, ' Return unto thy country, and to thy kin- i ch 31,3.

1 1 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my 
brother, from the hand of Esau : for I fear him, lest 
he will come and smite me, and the mother with the 
children.

wrestleth with an angel. 

1 3 And he lodged there that same night ; and took 
of that which came to his hand n a present for Esau 
his brother ; 

14 Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, 
two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 

15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine 
and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals. 

16 And he delivered them into the hand of his ser- 
vants, every drove by themselves ; and said unto his 
servants, Pass over before me, and put ° a space be- 
twixt drove and drove. 

1 7 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When 
Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, say- 
ing, Whose art thou ? and whither goest thou ? and 
whose are these before thee ? 

1 8 Then thou shaft say, They be thy servant Jacob's ; 
it is a present sent unto my lord Esau : and, behold, 
also he is behind us. 

19 And so commanded he the second, and the 
third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this 
manner shall you speak unto Esau, when you find him. 

20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant 
Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will t appease 
him with the present that goeth before me, and after- 
ward I will see his face ; peradventure he will accept 
of me. 

21 So went the present over before him ; and him- 
self lodged that night in the company. 

22 And he rose up that night, p and took his two 
wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven 
sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. 

23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, 
and sent over that he had. 

24 And Jacob was left alone ; and there q wrestled 
r a man with him until the s breaking of the day : 

25 And when he saw that he ' prevailed not against 
him, he touched the hollow of his thigh ; and the hol- 
low of Jacob's thigh was u out of joint, as he wrestled 
with him. 

26 And he said, s Let me go, for the day breaketh. 
And he said, y I will not let thee go, except thou bless 
me. 

P 27 And he said unto him, What is thy name ? And 
he said, Jacob. 

28 And he said, Thy name shall be called z no more 
Jacob, but Israel : for a as a prince hast thou power 
with God and b with men, and hast prevailed. 

29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray 
thee, thy name. And he said, c Wherefore is it that 
thou dost ask after my name 1 And he blessed him 
there. 

30 And Jacob called the name of the place |j Pe- 
niel : for I have seen God face to face, and my life is 
preserved. 

31 And as he passed over Penuel the a sun rose 
upon him, and he e halted upon his thigh. 

32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the 
sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the 
thigh, unto this day : because he touched the hollow 
of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

1 4 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his

Jacob ; and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly 
unto the damsel. 

4 And Sheehem e spake unto his father Hamor, 
saying, Get me this damsel f to wife. 

5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his 
daughter : now his sons were with his cattle in the 
field ; and Jacob s held his peace until they were come. 

6 And Hamor the father of Sheehem went out 
unto Jacob to commune with him. 

7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when 
they heard it : and the men were grieved, and they 
were very wroth, because he had wrought h folly in 
Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which tiling 
1 ought not to be done. 

8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The 
soul of my son Sheehem longeth for your daughter : 1 
pray you give her him to wife. 

kch.19,14. 9 And make ye marriages with us, and k give your 
daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. 

1 And ye shall dwell with us : and the land shall 
be ! before you : dwell and trade you therein, and get 
you possessions therein. 

1 1 And Sheehem said unto her father, and unto 
her brethren, Let me m find grace in your eyes, and 
what ye shall say unto me I will give. 

1 2 f Ask me never so much n dowry and gift, and 
I will give according as ye shall say unto me : but 
give me the damsel to wife. 

1 3 And the sons of Jacob answered Sheehem and 
Hamor his father ° deceitfully, and said, Because he 
had defiled Dinah their sister : 

14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this 
tiling, to give our sister to one that is p uncircumcised ; 
q for that were a reproach imto us : 

15 But in this will we consent unto you : If ye will 
be as we Se, that every male of you be circumcised, 

1 6 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and 
we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell 
with you, and we will become one people. 

1 7 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be cir- 
cumcised ; then will we take our daughter, and we 
will be gone. 

1 8 And their words pleased Hamor, and Sheehem 
Hamor's son. 

19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, 
because he had delight in Jacob's daughter : and he 
was more honourable than all r the house of his father. 

20 And Hamor and Sheehem his son came unto 
the s gate of their city, and communed with the men 
of their city, saying, 

21 These men are peaceable with us, therefore let 
them dwell in the land, and trade therein ; for the 
land, behold, it is large enough for them : let us take 
their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them 
our daughters. 

22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to 
dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among 
us be circumcised, as they are circumcised. 

23 Shall not their cattle, and their substance, and 
every beast of theirs, l be ours ? only let us consent 
unto them, and they will dwell with us. 

24 And unto Hamor and unto Sheehem his son 
hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city ; 
and every male was u circumcised, all that went out 
of the gate of his city. 

25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they 
were x sore, that * two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon 
and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword,

CHAP. XXXVII. 

2 Joseph is hated of his brethren: 5 His two dreams. 18 
His brethren conspire his death: 21 Reuben saveth him. 
26 They sell him to the Ishmeeliles : 36 He is sold to Poti- 
phar in Egypt. 

ND Jacob dwelt in the land t wherein his father 
was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 

2 IT These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, 
being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with 
his brethren ; and the lad was with the sons of Bil- 
hah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's a wives : 
and Joseph brought unto his father their b evil report. 

3 Now Israel c loved Joseph more than all his chil- 
dren, because he was the d son of his old age : and he 
made him e a coat of many colours. 

4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved 
him more than all his brethren, they f hated him, and 
could not speak peaceably unto him. 

5 And Joseph s dreamed a dream, and he told it 
his brethren : and they hated him h yet the more. 

6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this 
dream which I have dreamed : 

7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, 
and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright ; and, 
behold, your sheaves stood j round about, and k made 
obeisance to my sheaf. 

8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed 
or shalt thou indeed have dominion 

And they hated him yet the more for his 
dreams, and for his words. 

9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it 
his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a 
dream more ; and, behold, the m sun, and the moon, 
and the eleven n stars, made obeisance to me. 

10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren : 
and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What 
is this dream that thou hast dreamed ? Shall 1, and 
thy mother, and thy brethren, indeed come to bow 
down ourselves to thee to the earth ? 

1 1 And his brethren envied him ; but his father 
observed the saying. 

12 TI And liis brethren went to feed their father's 
flock in Shechem. 

13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy bre- 
thren feed the flock in Shechem ? come, and I will 
send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I. 



He is sold into Egypt. 



14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, t see 
whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with 
the flocks ; and bring me word again. So he sent 
him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to 
Shechem. 

1 5 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he 
was wandering in the field : and the man asked him, 
saying, What seekest thou ? 

16 And he said, p I seek my brethren: tell me, I 
pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 

1 7 And the man said, They are departed hence ; 
for I heard them say, Let us go to q Dothan. And

61. 



Joseph went after liis brethren, and found them hi Numb.' 16, 
Dothan. 

1 8 And when they saw him afar off, even before 
he came near unto them, they r conspired against him 
to slay him. 

19 And they said one to another, Behold, this 25. 
t dreamer cometh. _ f£« 

20 Come now, therefore, and let us slay him, and ur of 
cast him into some s pit ; and we will say, * Some evil f%%£' 7 9 
beast hath devoured him : and we shall see what will 
become of his dreams. 

21 And "Reuben heard it, and he delivered him 
out of their hands ; and said, Let us not kill him. 

22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but 
cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay 
no hand upon him ; that he might rid him out of their 
hands, to * deliver him to his father again. 

23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come 
unto his brethren, that they y stripped Joseph out of y ver. 3. 31. 
his coat, his coat of many colours, that was on him : chap 4? 91' 

24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit : and 
the pit was empty, there was z no water in it. 

25 And they sat down a to eat bread : and they 
lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, behold, a com- 
pany of lshmeelites came from b Gilead, with their 
camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to chap. 31,21 
carry it down to Egypt. 

26 And Judah said unto his brethren, e What 
profit is it if we slay our brother, and d conceal his 
blood? 

27 Come, and let us e sell him to the lshmeelites, 
and let not our hand be upon him ; for he is our bro- 
ther and our flesh : And his brethren were content. 

28 Then there passed by f Midianites, merchant- 
men ; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the fch - 25 > 2 - 
pit, and sold Joseph to the lshmeelites for £ twenty % vl ^ 7 '3 
pieces of silver : and they brought Joseph into Egypt. ' 

29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, be- 
hold, Joseph ivas not in the pit : and he ''rent his clothes : 

30 And he returned unto liis brethren, and said, The 
child i* ' not ; and I, whither shall 1 go ? 

31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid Jer - 31 > 16 
of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood : 

32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and 
they brought it to their father ; and said, This have we 
found : know now whether it be thy son's coat or no. 

33 And he knew it, and said, // is my son's coat ; 
an evil beast hath devoured him : Joseph is k without kch. 44, 2a. 
doubt rent in pieces. 

34 And J;.cob rent his clothes, and put ' sackcloth 
upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 

35 And all his sons and all m his daughters rose up 
to comfort him ; but he n refused to be comforted : 
and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto 
my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.

CHAP. XXXVIII. 

6 Er marrieth Tamar. 13 She deceiveth Judafu 27 She 
beareth twins, Pharez and Zarah. 

ND it came to pass at that time, that Judah went 
down from his brethren, and turned in to a a cer- 
tain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 

2 And Judah b saw there a daughter of a certain 
Canaanite, whose name was c Shuah ; and he d took 
her, and e went in unto her. 

3 And she f conceived, and bare a son ; and he 
called his name Er. 

4 And she conceived again, and bare a son ; and 
she called his name Onan. 

5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son ; 
and called his name Shelah : and he was at g Chezib 
when she bare him. 

6 And Judah h took a wife for Er his first-born, 
whose name was || Tamar. 

7 And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the 
' sight of the Lord ; and the Lord k slew him. 

8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy 
brother's wife, and ' many her, and raise up seed to 
thy brother. 

9 And Onan knew that the seed should m not be 
his : and it came to pass, when he went in unto his 
brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest 
that he should give seed to his brother. 

10 And the thing which he did displeased the 
Lord ; wherefore he slew him also. 

1 1 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law, 
D Remain a widow at thy father's house till Shelah my 
son be grown : for he said, Lest peradventure he die 
also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and 
dwelt in her father's house. 

12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah, 
Judah's wife, died: and Judah was comforted, and 
went up unto his ° sheep-shearers to p Timnath, he 
and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 

13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy 
father-in-law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep. 

1 4 And she put her widow's garments off from her, 
and covered her with q a vail, and wrapped herself, 
and sat t in an open place, which is by the way to 
Timnath : for she saw that Shelah was grown, and 
she was r not given unto him to wife. 

1 5 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a 
harlot ; because she had covered her face. 

1 6 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, 
Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee ; (for he 
knew not that she was his daughter-in-law.) And 
she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest 
come in unto me ? 

1 7 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the 
flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me 9 a pledge 
till thou send it ? 

18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? 
And she said, Thy l signet, and thy bracelets, and thy 
staff that is in thine hand : And he gave it her, and 
came in unto her; and she conceived by him. 

19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by 
her vail from her, and put on the garments of her 
widowhood. 

20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his 
* friend the Adullamite, to veceive his pledge from the 
woman's hand ; but he found her not. 

21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, 



Where is the f harlot, that was openly by the way- 
side ? And they said, There was no harlot in this place. 

22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot 
find her ; and also the men of the place said, that 
there was no harlot in this place. 

23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we 
t be shamed : behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast 
not found her. 

24 And it came to pass, about three months after, 
that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter- 
in-law hath played the harlot ; and also, behold, she 
is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring 
her forth, and let her x be burnt. 

25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her 
father-in-law, saying, By the man whose these are. 
am I with child : and she said. Discern, I pray thee, 
whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff. 

26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She 
hath been y more righteous than I ; because that I 
gave her not to Shelah my son. And he z knew her 
again no more. 

27 And it came to pass, in the time of her travail, 
that, behold, twins were in her womb. 

28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that 
the one put out his hand ; and the midwife took and 
bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This 
came out first. 

29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, 
that, behold, his brother came out ; and she said, How 
hast thou broken forth ? this breach be upon thee : 
therefore his name was called || Pharez. 

30 And afterward came out his brother, that had 
the scarlet thread upon his hand ; and his name was 
called II Zarah. 

CHAP. XXXIX. 

1 Joseph advanced in Fotiphar , s house : 7 He resisleth his 

mistress's temptation : 20 He is cast into prison. 

ND Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and 

Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the 

guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the 

Ishmeelites, which had brought him down tliither. 

2 And the Lord was b with Joseph, and he was 
c a prosperous man : and he was in the house of Iris 
master the Egyptian. 

3 And d his master saw that the Lord was with 
him, and that the Lord made all that he did to pros- 
per in Iris hand. 

4 And Joseph e found grace in his sight, and he 
served him: and he made him f overseer over his 
house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 

5 And it came to pass, from the time that he had 
made him overseer in his house, and over all that he 
had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house g for 
Joseph's sake ; and the blessing of the Lord was 
upon all that he had in (he house, and in the field. 

6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand ;

Joseph falsely accused and imprisoned: 

because thou art his wife : n how then can 

great wickedness, and sin against God ? 
10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph 

t day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie 

t Heb.' day foy her, or to be p with her. 

pFrov. 5, 8. 11 And it came to pass, about this time, that Jo- 
seph went into the iiouse to do his business ; and there 

qJob24,i5. was q none of the men of the house there within. 

rPr. 7, 13. 12 And she r caught him by his garment, saying, 
Lie with me : and he left his garment in her hand, 

s Eccies. 7, and fled, and s got him out. 

1 3 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had 
left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 

14 That she called unto the men of her house, and 
spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in a 
Hebrew unto us to t mock us ; he came in unto me 
u to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice. 

1 5 And it came to pass, when he heard that 1 lifted 
up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with 
me, and fled, and got him out. 

1 6 And she laid up his garment by her, until his 
lord came home. 

17 And she spake unto him according to these 
words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast 
brought unto us, came in. unto me to mock me : 

1 8 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and 
cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled 
out. 

1 9 And it came to pass, when his master heard the 
words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, 
After this manner did thy servant to me, that x his 
wrath was kindled. 

20 And Joseph's master y took him, and put him 
into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners 
z were bound : and he was there in the prison. 

21 But the Lord was "with Joseph, and shewed 
him mercy, and t gave him favour in the sight of the 
b keeper of the prison. 

22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Jo- 
seph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison ; 
and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. 

23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any 
thing that was under his hand ; because the Lord was 
with him ; and that which he did, the Lord c made it

1 The butler and baker of Pharaoh in prison: 5 He inter- 
preted their dreams. 23 The ingratitude of the butler. 

ND it came to pass, after these things, that the 
butler of the king of Egypt, and his baker, had 
offended their lord the king of Egypt. 

2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his 
officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against 
the chief of the bakers. 

3 And he put them a in ward in the house of the 
captain of the guard, into the b prison, the place where 
Joseph was bcund. 

4 And the e captain of the guard charged Joseph 
with them, and he served them ; and they continued 
a season in ward. 

5 And they (1 dreamed a dream both of them, each 
man his dream in one night, each man e according to 
the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the 
baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the

1 5 For indeed I was n stolen away out of the ° land 21 - 

of the Hebrews ; and here also have I p done nothing och!iv.3* 
that they should put me into the dungeon. 

1 6 IF When the chief baker saw that the interpret- 
ation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my 
dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my 
head : 

1 7 And in the uppermost basket there was of all 
manner of bake-meats for Pharaoh ; and the birds did 
eat them out of the basket upon my head. 

1 8 And Joseph answered and said, This is the in- 
terpretation thereof: The three baskets are three 
days. 

19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy 
I head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree ; 

and q the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. 

20 IT And it came to pass the third day, which was j^ r ^ ^ 
Pharaoh's r birth-day, that he made a feast unto all Acts 20, 27! 
his servants : and he lifted up the head of the chief f Mat 3 ?! 1 ?* 
butler, and of the chief baker among his servants. .Job 3', 1.' 

21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butler-

5 And he slept, and dreamed the second time : and, 
behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, 
rank and good. 

6 And, behold, seven thin ears, and blasted with 
the a east wind, sprung up after them. 

7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank 
and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it 
was e a dream. 

8 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit 
was f troubled ; and he sent and called for all the 
g magicians of Egypt, and all the h wise men thereof: 
and Pharaoh told them his dreams ; but there was 
1 none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. 

9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, say- 
ing, I do remember k my faults this day. 

10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put 
me in ward in the ' captain of the guard's house, both 
me and the chief baker. 

1 1 And ra we dreamed a dream in one night, I and 
he ; we dreamed each man according to the inter- 
pretation of his dream. 

12 And there was there with us a young man, a 
Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard ; and we 
told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams : to 
each man according to his dream he did interpret. 

1 3 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us so 
it was : me n he restored unto mine office, and him he 
hanged. 

14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they 
t brought him hastily out of the dungeon : and he 
° shaved himself, and changed Ms p raiment, and came 
in unto Pharaoh. 

1 5 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed 
a dream, and there is none that can interpret it : and 
1 have heard say of thee, || that thou canst understand 
a dream to interpret it : 

1 6 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, q It is 
not in me : God shall give Pharaoh r an answer of 
peace. 

1 7 And 8 Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, 
behold, I stood upon the bank of the river : 

18 And, behold, there came up out of the river 
seven kine, fat-fleshed, and well-favoured ; and they 
fed in a meadow. 

19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after 
them, poor and very ill-favoured, and lean-fleshed, 
such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for 
badness : 

20 And the lean and the ill-favoured kine did eat 
up the first seven fat kine : 

21 And when they had eaten them up, it could 
not be known that they had eaten them ; but they 
were * still ill-favoured, as at the beginning. So I 
awoke. 

22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven 
ears came up in one stalk, full and good : 

23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and 
blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them : 

24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good 
ears. And I told this unto the magicians ; but there 
was none that could declare it to me. 

25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of 
Pharaoh is one ; God hath shewed Pharaoh what he 
is u about to do. 

26 The seven good kine are seven years : and the 
seven good ears are seven years : the dream is one. 

27 And the seven thin and ill-favoured kine, that 
came up after them, are seven years ; and the seven 

E 



empty ears, blasted with the east wind, shall be seven 
years of famine. 

28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto 
Pharaoh ; what God is about to do he sheweth unto 
Pharaoh. 

29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty 
throughout all the land of Egypt : 

30 And there shall arise after them seven years of 
famine ; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the 
land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the 
land : 

31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land 
by reason of that famine following ; for it shall be 
very grievous. 

32 And for that the dream was x doubled unto 
Pharaoh twice ; it is because the thing is established 
by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. 

33 Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man 
discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. 

34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint 
t officers over the land, and take up the y fifth part of 
the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. 

35 And let them gather all the food of those good 
years that come, and lay up corn z under the, hand of 
Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. 

36 And that food shall be a for store to the land 
against the seven years of famine, which shall be in 
the land of Egypt ; that the land t perish not through 
the famine. 

37 And b the thing was good in the eyes of Pha- 
raoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 

38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we 
find such a one as this is, a man in whom c the Spirit 
of God is ? 

39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as 
God hath shewed thee d all this, there is none so dis- 
creet and wise as thou art : 

40 Thou shalt be e over my house, and according 
unto f thy word shall all my people be t ruled: only 
in the throne will I be greater than thou. 

41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have 
g set thee over all the land of Egypt. 

42 And Pharaoh took off his b ring from his hand, 
and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in 
vestures of ' fine linen, and put k a gold chain about 
his neck : 

43 And he made him to ride in the 'second cha- 
riot which he had : and they cried before him, t Bow 
the knee : and he made him ruler over all the land of 

Egypt- 

44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, 
and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot 
in all the land of Egypt. 

45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name || Zaphnath- 
paaneah ; and he gave him to wife Asenath the 
daughter of Poti-pherah || priest of m On. And Joseph 
went out over all the land of Egypt. 

46 And Joseph was n thirty years old when he stood 
before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went 
out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went through- 
out all the land of Egypt. 

47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth 
brought forth by handfuls. 

48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven 
years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up 
the food in the cities : the food of the field which was 
round about eveiy city laid he up in the same. 

49 And Joseph gathered corn as the °sand of the

50 If And unto Joseph were born two sons before 
the years of famine came; which Ascnath, the 
daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On, bare unto him. 

51 And Joseph called the name of the first-born 
|| Manasseh : For God, said he, hath made me forget 
all my toil, and all my father's house. 

52 And the name of the second called he || Ephraim : 
For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of 
my affliction. 

53 IT And the seven years of plenteousness that 
was in the land of Egypt were ended. 

54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, 
according as Joseph had said : and the dearth was in 
all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was 
bread. 

55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, 
the people cried to Pharaoh for bread : and Pharaoh 
said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph ; what 
he saith to you, do. 

56 And the famine was over all the face of the 
earth. And Joseph opened all the store-houses, and 
sold unto the Egyptians ; and the famine waxed sore 
in the land of Egypt. 

57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for 
to buy com ; because that the famine was so sore q in 
all lands. 

CHAP. XLII. 

1 Jacob sendeth his ten sons to buy corn in Egypt. 16 They 
are imprisoned by Joseph for spies. 24 Simeon is kept 
for a pledge. 36 Jacob refuseth to send Benjamin. 

NOW when Jacob a saw that there was corn in 
Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, b Why do ye 
look one upon another ? 

2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is 
corn in Egypt : get you c down thither, and buy for us 
from thence ; that we may d live, and not die. 

3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy 
corn in Egypt. 

4 e But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent 
not with his brethren : for he said, f Lest peradventure 
mischief befall him. 

5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among 
those that came : for the famine was in the land of 
Canaan. 

6 And Joseph was the g governor over the land, 
and he it was that sold to all the people of the land : 
and Joseph's brethren came and h bowed down them- 
selves before him with their faces to the earth. 

7 And Joseph saw liis brethren, and he knew them, 
but made himself strange unto them, and spake 
t roughly unto them ; and he said unto them, Whence 
come ye 1 And they said, From the land of Canaan, 
to buy food. 

8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew 
not him. 

9 And Joseph remembered ' the dreams which he 
dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies ; 
to see the k nakedness of the land you are come. 

10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to 
buy food are thy servants come. 

1 1 We are all one man's sons : we are true men ; 
thy servants are no spies. 

12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the 
nakedness of the land ye are come. 

13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve bre- 
thren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan ; 



and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, 
and one ' is not. 

1 4 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I 
spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies : 

1 5 Hereby ye shall be proved ; t By the life of Pha- 
raoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest 
brother come hither. 

1 6 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, 
and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may 
be proved, whether there be any truth in you : or else, 
by the life of Pharaoh, surely ye are spies. 

1 7 And he put them all together into ward three 
drays. 

1 8 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This 
do, and live ; for m I fear God : 

1 9 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be 15, 
bound in the house of your prison ; go ye, cany t corn f 
for the famine of your houses : 

20 But n bring your youngest brother unto me ; so chap. "ii",m. 
shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. nch - 43 » 19 - 
And they did so. 

21 And they said one to another, ° We are verily oHos. 5,15, 
guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw p the 
anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we 
would not hear; q therefore is this distress come 
upon us. 

22 And Reuben answered them, saying, r Spake I 
not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child ; 
and ye would not hear ? therefore, behold, also 
blood is s required. 

23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them ; hi. 
for he spake unto them by an interpreter. ^P 1 " -0 " -24 * 

24 And he turned himself about from them, and Ezek. 3, is. 
t wept; and returned to them again, and communed Luke 11, 50. 
with them, and took from them u Simeon, and bound tisal 49,15! 
him before their eyes. & 63, 9. 

25 IT Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks ^."34 25]

sack, and to give them provision for the way; and Jude22 - 23 ' 
x thus did he unto them. * ch. 21, 14 

26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and jjjjfaT.' 5^44! 
departed thence. 

27 And as one of them opened his sack, to give 
his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money ; for, 
behold, it was in his sack's mouth.

them, saying,

CHAP. XLTIT. 

1 Jacob is hardly persuaded to send Benjamin. 15 Joseph 
entertaineth his brethren. 31 He maketh them a feast. 

AND the famine was a sore in the land. 
2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up 
the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their 
father said unto them, Go again, t buy us b a little 
food. 

3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, c The man 
did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall d not 
see my face, except your brother be with you. 

4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go 
down and buy thee food : 

5 But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down : 
for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, 
except your brother be with you. 

6 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with 
me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother ? 

7 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our 
state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet 
alive ? have ye another brother ? and we told him ac- 
cording to the tenor of these words. Could we cer- 
tainly know that he would say, Bring your brother 
down 1 

8 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send 
the e lad with me, and we will arise and go ; that we 
may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also 
our little ones. 

9 I will be surety for him ; of my hand shalt thou 
require him : if I bring him not unto thee, and set 
him before thee, then f let me bear the blame for ever : 

1 For except we had lingered, surely now we had 
returned this second time. 

1 1 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must 
be so now, do this ; Take of the t best fruits in the 
land in your vessels, and carry down the man g a pre- 
sent, a little h balm, and a ' little honey, spices and 
myrrh, nuts and almonds: 

1 2 And take double money in your iiand : and the 
money that was brought again in the mouth of your 
sacks k carry it again in your hand ; peradventure it 
was an oversight : 

1 3 ' Take also your brother, and arise, go again 
unto the man : 

1 4 And m God Almighty give you mercy before the 
man, that he may send away your other brother, and 
Benjamin. D If I be bereaved of my children, I am 
bereaved. 

15 And the men took that present, and they took 
double money in their hand, and Benjamin ; and rose 
up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph. 

16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he 
said to the ° ruler of his house, Bring these men home, 




+ Heb. kilt

and t slay, and make ready ; for these men shall dine 
with me at noon. 

17 And the man did as Joseph bade ; and the man 
brought the men into Joseph's house. 

18 And the men were p afraid, because they were 1 Samuel 
brought into Joseph's house ; and they said, Because chap^i 54.

19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's Job n 3o?'i4. 
house, and they communed with him at the door of 

the house, 

20 And said, t O sir, q we came indeed down at \ Heb. Oh, 
the first time to buy food : ™y lord j 

21 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, q ° c h. '42/3. 
that we r opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's r chap. 42, 
money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in 27, 

full weight; and we have brought it again in our hand. 

22 And other money have we brought down in our 
hands to buy food : we cannot tell who put our money 
in our sacks. 

23 And he said, s Peace be to you, fear not : * your 9 Job 21, 9. 
God, and the God of your father, hath given you tchl8 > 19 - 
treasure in your sacks : I had your money. And he 
brought Simeon out unto them. 

24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's 
house, and gave them u water, and they washed their 
feet ; and he gave their asses provender. 

25 And they made ready the present against Joseph 
came at noon : for they heard that they should eat 
bread there. 

26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him 
the present which was in their hand into the house, 
x and bowed themselves to him to the earth. 

27 And he asked them of their t welfare, and said, 
f Is your father well ? the old man of whom ye spake, ^lp'37 14 
is he yet alive ? &41, 16. 

28 And they answered, Thy servant our father is ? x ? d - 1®' 7 -

in good health, he is yet alive : And they bowed 15. 
down their heads, and made obeisance. +'Heb 2 /' 5 ' 

29 And he lift up his eyes, and saw his brother Ben- there peace 
jamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger '" #£*»" 
brother, of whom ye spake unto me ? And he said, 

God be gracious unto thee, y my son. 

30 And Joseph made haste ; for his bowels z did 
yearn upon his brother : and he sought where to 
weep ; and he entered into his chamber, and wept 
there. 

31 And he washed his face, and went out, and 
refrained himself, and said, Set on bread. 

32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them 
by themselves, and for the Egyptians which did eat 
with him by themselves: because the Egyptians 

might not a eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is ach. 31,54. 
an b abomination unto the Egyptians. E^nVa'jlr" 

33 And they sat before him, the first-born according * ' ' ' 
to his birthright, and the youngest according to his 
youth : and the men marvelled one at another. 

34 And he took and sent messes unto them from 
before him : but Benjamin's mess was c five times so r . 
much as any of theirs. And they drunk, and t were So' ni 
merry with him.

as they can carry, and put every man's money in his 
sack's mouth : 

2 And b put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's 
mouth of the youngest, and his corn-money. And he 
did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. 

3 IF As soon as the morning was light, the men 
were sent away, they and their asses. 

4 And when they were gone out of the city, and not 
yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow 
after the men ; and when thou dost overtake them, 
say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for 
good 1 

5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and 
whereby indeed he t divineth ? Ye have done evil in 
so doing. 

6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them 
these same words. 

7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord 
these words ? God forbid that thy servants should do 
according to this thing. 

8 Behold, the money which we found in our sacks' 
mouths we brought again unto thee out of the land of 
Canaan : how then should we steal out of thy lord's 
house silver or gold ? 

9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, 
c ch. 3i, 32. both c let him die, and we also will be my lord's bond- 
men. 

10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto 
your words : he with whom it is found shall be my 
servant ; and ye shall be d blameless. 

1 1 Then they speedily took down every man his 
sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. 

1 2 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and 
left at the youngest : and the cup was found in Ben- 
jamin's sack. 

1 3 Then they e rent their clothes, and laded every 
man his ass, and returned to the city. 

14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's 
house ; for he was yet there ; and they fell before him 
on the ground. 

15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this 
that ye have done ? Wot ye not that such a man as 1 
can t certainly divine ? 

1 6 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my 
lord ? what shall we speak ? or f how shall we clear 
ourselves ? God hath found out the E iniquity of thy 
servants : behold, h we are my lord's servants, both 
we, and he also with whom the cup is found. 

17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: 
but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall 
be my servant ; and as for you, get you up ' in peace 
unto your father. 

18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, 
k Oh, my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a 
word in my lord's ! ears, and let not thine anger burn 
against thy servant : for thou art even m as Pharaoh. 

19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a 
father, or a brother ? 

20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, 
an old man, and a child of his n old age, ° a little one 
and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his 
mother, and his father loveth him. 

21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him 
^sh. 43, 15, down unto me, that I may p set mine eyes upon him 
Jei-. 40, 4. 22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot 

leave his father : for if he should leave his father, his 
father would die.

24 And it came to pass, when we came up unto 
thy servant my father, we told him the words of my 
lord. 

25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a 
little food. 

26 And we said, We cannot go down : if our

for we may not see the man's face, except our young-

31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad

bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father 
with sorrow to the grave. 

32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto 
my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then 1 
shall bear the blame to my father for ever.

1 1 And there will I nourish thee, (for yet there are

and all that thou hast, come to poverty. 

12 And, behold your eyes see, and the eyes of my 
e co. 42, 23. brother Benjamin, that it is °my mouth that speaketh 

unto you. 

13 And you shall tell my father of all my glory in

15 Moreover, he kissed all his brethren, and wept 
upon them : and after that his brethren q talked with 
him. 

16 IT And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's 
house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come : And it 
pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. 

1 7 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy 
brethren, This do ye ; lade your beasts, and go, get 
you unto the land of Canaan ; 

1 8 And take your father, and your households, and 
Come unto me : and I will give you the good of the

20 Also t regard not your stuff: for the good of all 
the land of Egypt is yours. 

21 And the children of Israel did so : And Joseph 
gave them waggons, according to the t command- 
ment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the 
way. 

22 To all of them he gave each man l changes of 
raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred 
pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment. 

23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten 
asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten 
she-asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his 
father by the way. 

24 So he sent his brethren away, and they depart- 
ed : and he said unto them, See that ye t fall not out 
by the way. 

25 IT And they went up out of Egypt, and came 
into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, 

26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and 
he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Ja- 
cob's heart "fainted, for he believed them not. 

27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, 
which he had said unto them : and when he saw the 
waggons which Joseph had sent to cany him, the 
spirit of Jacob their father revived : 

28 And Israel said, x Ft is enough : Joseph my son

unto Jacob : all the souls were seven. 

26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, 
which came out of his t loins, besides Jacob's sons' 
wives, all the souls were threescore and six : 

27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in 
Egypt, were two souls : All the souls of the house of Ja- 
cob, which came into Egypt, were g threescore and ten. 

28 IT And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, 
to direct his face unto Goshen ; and they canoe into 
the land of Goshen.

29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went, 
up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented 
himself unto him : and he h fell on his neck, and wept 
on his neck a good while. 

30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now ' let me die, 
since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive. 

31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his 
father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and 
say unto him, k My brethren, and my father's house, 
which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me ; 

32 And the men are shepherds, for t their trade 
hath been to feed cattle ; and they have brought their 
flocks, and their herds, and all that they have. 

33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall 
call you, and shalbsay, What is your t occupation ? 

54 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been 
about cattle from our youth even until now, both we 
and also our fathers ; that ye may dwell in the land 
of Goshen : for every shepherd is an ' abomination 
unto the Egyptians. 

CHAP. XLVII. 

1 Joseph presenteth five of his brethren, 7 and his father, be- 
fore Pharaoh. 28 Jacobus age: 29 He sweareth Joseph 
to bury him with his fathers. 

THEN Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, 
a My father, and my brethren, and their flocks, 
and their herds, and all that they have, are come out 
of the land of Canaan ; and, behold, they are in the 
land of Goshen. 

2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, 
and presented them unto Pharaoh. 

3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, b What 
is your occupation ? And they said unto Pharaoh, 
Thy servants are c shepherds, both we, and also our 
fathers. 

4 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to so- 
journ in the land are we come : for thy servants have 
no pasture for their flocks ; for the famine is sore in 
the land of Canaan : now therefore, we pray thee, let 
thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen. 

5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy 
father and thy brethren are come unto thee : 

6 The land of Egypt is d before thee : in the best 
of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell ; 
in the land of Goshen let them dwell : and if thou 
knowest any men of e activity among them, then 
make them rulers over my cattle. 

_ 7 IT And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set 
him before Pharaoh : and Jacob f blessed Pharaoh. 

8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, t How old art thou? 

9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the 
years of my g pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty 
years : b few and evil have the days of the years of my 
life been, and have ' not attained unto the days of the 
years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their pil- 
grimage. 

1 And Jacob k blessed Pharaoh, and went out 
from before Pharaoh. 

1 1 IT And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, 
and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in 
the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pha- 
raoh had commanded. 

1 2 And Joseph nourished his father, and his breth- 
ren, and all his father's household, with bread, || ac- 
cording t to their families. 

1 3 IT And there was no bread in all the land : for the 
famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt, and all 
the land of Canaan, t fainted by reason of the famine. 



1 4 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was 
found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Ca- 
naan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph 
brought the money into Pharaoh's house. 

1 5 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, 
and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came 
unto Joseph, and said, Give us ' bread : lor why should 
we die in thy presence ? for the money faileth. 

1 6 And Joseph said, Give your cattle ; and m I will 
give you for your cattle, if money fail. 

17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph : and 
Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and 
for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for 
the asses ; and lie fed them with bread for all their 
cattle for that year. 

1 8 When that year was ended, they came unto him 
the second year, and said unto him, We will n not hide 
it from, my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord 
also hath our herds of cattle : there is not aught left 
in the sight of my lord, but our bodies and our lands : 

1 9 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both 
we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and 
we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh ; and 
give us seed, that we may live and not die, that the 
land be not desolate. 

20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for 
Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, 
because the famine prevailed over them : so the land 
became Pharaoh's. 

21 And as for the people, he removed them to 
cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the 
other end thereof. 

22 Only the land of the || priests bought he not ; 
for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, 
and did eat their ° portion which Pharaoh gave them ; 
wherefore they sold not their lands. 

23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I 
have bought you this day, and your land, for Pharaoh : 
lo, here is p seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. 

24 And it shall come to pass, in the increase, that 
you shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh ; and four 
t parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for 
your food, and for them of your households, and for 
food for your little ones. 

25 And they said, Thou hast t saved our lives ; let 
us q find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be 
Pharaoh's servants. 

26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of 
Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the 
fifth part ; except the land of the priests only, which 
became not Pharaoh's. 

27 IT And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the 
country of Goshen ; and they had possessions therein, 
and grew, and multiplied r exceedingly. 

28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seven- 
teen years : so t the whole age of Jacob was a hun- 
dred forty and seven years. 

29 And the time drew nigh that Israel 3 must die : 
and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If 
now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, 
thy hand under *■ my thigh, and deal kindly and truly 
with me ; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt : 

30 But I will lie with my fathers ; and thou shalt 
carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their u bury- 
ing-place. And he said, I will do as thou hast said. 

31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware 
unto him. And Israel x bowed himself upon the 
bed's head.

blesseth Joseph's sons, 

CHAP. XLVIII. 

1 Joseph with his sons visiteth his sick father: 2 Jacob 
strengthened himself to bless them: 3 He repeateth the 
promise: 21 He prophesieth their return to Canaan. 

AND it came to pass, after these things, that one 
told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick : and he 
took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 

2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son 
Joseph cometh unto thee: And Israel strengthened 
himself, and sat upon the bed. 

3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, a God Almighty 
appeared unto me at b Luz in the land of Canaan, and 
blessed me, 

4 And said unto me, Behold, c I will make thee 
fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a 
multitude of people ; and will give this land to thy seed 
after thee, for d an everlasting possession. 

5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, 
which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt, be- 
fore I came unto thee into Egypt, e are mine : f as 
Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 

6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, 
shall be thine, and shall be called g after the name of 
their brethren in their inheritance. 

7 And as for me, when I came from h Padan, 
' Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan, in the 
way, when yet there was but a little way to come 
unto Ephrath : and I buried her there in the way of 
Ephrath ; the same is Beth-lehem. 

8 M And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, 
Who are these ? 

9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my 
sons, k whom God hath given me in this place. And 
he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will 
1 bless them. 

10 (Now the eyes of Israel were t dim for age, so 
that he could not see.) And he brought them near 
unto him ; and he kissed them, and embraced them. 

1 1 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought 
to see thy face ; and, lo, God hath shewed me also 
thy seed. 

12 And Joseph brought them out from between his 
knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth 

13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his 
right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh 
in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought 
them near unto him. 

14 And Israel stretched out m his right hand, and 
laid it upon Ephraim' s head, who was the younger 
and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, t guiding 
his hands wittingly ; for Manasseh was the first-born. 

1 5 And he blessed n Joseph, and said, God, before 
whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac ° did walk, the 
God which p fed me all my life long unto this day, 

16 The q angel which redeemed me from all evil, 
bless the lads ; and let my name be named on them, 
and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac ; and 
let them t grow into a multitude in the midst of the 
earth. 

1 7 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his 
right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it r displeased 
him : and he held up his father's hand, to remove it 
from Ephraim's head unto Manasseli's head. 

18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my 
father : for this is the first-born ; put thy right hand 
upon his head. 

19 And his father refused, and said, I know it my 
son, I know it : he also shall become a people, and 



and his own in va.rhcv.lar. 



he also shall be great ; but truly his younger brother c S^!!f T 
shall be s greater than he, and his seed shall become i68<>. 
a multitude of nations. rT^Tsi 

20 And he blessed them that day, saying, l In thee 34. u &Vi8. 
shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim 20. 

and as Manasseh. And he set Ephraim before 4,n " 

Manasseh. 

21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die; 
but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto 
the land of your fathers. 

22 Moreover, u I have given to thee one portion " Deut. 21, 
above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of 7 ' 

the Amorite with x my sword and with my bow. 14 ° 9 " 

CHAP. XLIX. 

1 Jacob calleth his sons to bless them: 3 Their blessings in par- 
ticular: 29 He chargcth them about his burial: 33 He dieth.

thren of their return : 25 He taketh an oath of them for 
his bones : 26 He dieth. 

ND Joseph fell upon his a father's face, and 
b wept upon him, and c kissed him. 

2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physi- 
cians to embalm his father : and the physicians d em- 
balmed Israel. 

3 And forty days were fulfilled for him ; (for so are 
fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed;) and 
the Egyptians mourned for him e threescore and ten

Joseph f spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If

you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

6 And Pharaoh said, Go up and bury thy father, 
according k as he made thee swear. 

7 And Joseph went up to bury his father : and with 
him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of 
his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, 

8 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, 
and his father's house : only their little ones, and their 
flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. 

9 And there went up with him both chariots and 
horsemen ; and ft was ' a very great company. 

10 And they came to the threshing-floor of || Atad, ^^ 
wliich is m beyond Jordan ; and there they mourned 
with a great and very sore lamentation : and he made 
a mourning for his father n seven days. 

1 1 And when the inhabitants of the land, the ° Ca- 
naanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they 
said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians : 
wherefore the name of it was called || Abel-mizrairn, 
which is beyond Jordan. 

1 2 And his sons did unto him p according as he 
commanded them : 

13 For his sons carried him into the land of Ca- 
naan, and buried him in the cave of q the field of 
Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, "icing* 21, 
for a possession of a burying-place, of Ephron the 18 
Hittite, before Mamre. 

14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his 
brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his 
father, after he had buried his father. 

1 5 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their fa- 
ther was dead, they said, Joseph will r peradventure 
hate us, and will 8 certainly requite us all the evil 
which we did unto him. 

16 And they t sent a messenger unto Joseph, say- 
ing, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 

1 7 So shall ye say unto Joseph, l Forgive, I pray 
thee now, the trespass of u thy brethren, and their sin; 
for they did unto thee evil : and now, we pray thee, 
forgive the trespass of the servants of x the God of thy £'* 2f 
father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto &31, 42. 
him. 

1 8 And his brethren also went and y fell down be- y ch. 37, 1. 
fore his face ; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 

1 9 And Joseph said unto them, z Fear not ; for am 
I in a the place of God ? 

20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me ; job 3 34, 2ff 
b but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it Deut. 32,35. 
is this day, to save much people alive. ^ )m ' 12, 

21 Now, therefore, fear ye not: C I will nourish Heb. 10, so. 
you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, A ^ - f'^ 
and spake t kindly unto them. 13. 

22 IT And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father's ** ^ £ 
house : and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years. f Heb. 'to 

23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the their hearts 
d third generation : the children also of Machir, the son 
of Manasseh, were brought up upon Joseph's knees. 

24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die : and 
God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this 
land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to 
Isaac, and to Jacob. 

25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Is- 
rael, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall 
carry up e my bones from hence. 

26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years 
old : and they embalmed him, and he was put in a 
coffin in Egypt.

CHAP. I. 

22 Pharaoh, commandeth the male children to be cast into 
the river. 

'OW these are the :i names of the children of 
Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and 
his household came with Jacob. 

2 ^ Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 

3 c Issachar, Zebulun, and d Benjamin, 

4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. * 

5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of 
Jacob were e seventy souls : f for Joseph was in Egypt 
already. 

6 And Joseph died, and all g his brethren, and all 
that generation. 

7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and h in- 
creased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed ex- 
ceeding mighty ; and the land was filled with them. 

8 II Now there arose up a * new king over Egypt, 
which k knew not Joseph. 

9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of 
the children of Israel are * more and mightier than we : 

1 m Come on, let us D deal wisely with them ; lest 
they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there 
falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, 
and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. 

1 1 Therefore they did set over them task-masters, 
to afflict them with their ° burdens. And they built 
for Pharaoh treasure-cities, Pithom and Raamses. 

1 2 t But the more they afflicted them the more they 
multiplied and grew. And they were p grieved be- 
cause of the children of Israel. 

1 3 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel 
to serve with q rigour : 

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard 
bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner 
of service in the field : all their service, wherein they 
made them serve, was with rigour. 

1 5 IF And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew 
midwives ; (of which the name of one was Shiphrah, 
and the name of the other Puah ;) 

1 6 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife 
to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools, 
if it be a son, then ye shall r kill him; but if it be a 
daughter, then she shall live. 

1 7 But the midwives 3 feared God, and did not l as 
the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the 
men-children alive. 

1 3 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, 
and said unto them, u Why have yc done this thing, 
and have saved the men-children alive ? 

19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because 
the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women ; 
for they are lively, and are delivered x ere the mid- 
wives come in unto them. 

20 Therefore God dealt y well with the midwives : 
and the people multiplied, and waxed veiy mighty. 

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives 
feared God, that he z made them houses. 

22 And Pharaoh a charged all his people, saying, 
Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and 
every daughter ye shall save alive. 

CHAP. II. 

2 Moses is born, 3 and in an ark cast into the Jlags. 1 1 He 
slayeth an Egyptian : 21 He marrielh Zipporah. 

AND there went s a man of the house of Levi, 
and * took to wife a daughter of Levi. 



2 And the woman conceived and bare a c son : and 
when she saw him that he was u a goodly child, she 
e hid him three months. 

3 And when she could f no longer hide him, she 
took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with 
slime and with pitch, and put the child therein ; and 
she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. 

4 And g his sister stood afar off, to wit what would 
be done to him. 

5 And the h daughter of Pharaoh came down to 
wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked 
along by the river's side : and when she saw the ark 
among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 

6 And when she had opened it y she saw the child : 
and, behold, the babe wept. And she had 'compas- 
sion on him, and said, This is one of the k Hebrews' 
children. 

7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall 
I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, 
that she may nurse the child for thee ? 

8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And 
the maid went and called the ' child's mother. 

9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take 
this child away, and nurse it for me, and I Will give 
thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and 
nursed it. 

1 And the child grew, and she brought him unto 
Pharaoh's daughter, and he became m her son. And 
she called his name |j Moses : and she said, Because 

I drew him out of the water. 

1 1 IT And it came to pass in those days, when Moses 
was n grown,, that he went out unto his brethren, and 
looked on their burdens : and he espied an Egyptian 
smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 

1 2 And he looked this way and that way, and, 
when he saw that there was no man, he ° slew the 
Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 

1 3 And when he went out p the second day, behold, 
two men of the Hebrews strove together : and he said 

II to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou 
thy fellow ? 

1 4 And he said, Who made thee r a prince and a 
judge over us ? intendest thou to kill me, as thou 
killedst the Egyptian ? And Moses ! feared, and said, 
Surely this thing is known. 

15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought 
to slay Moses. But Moses ' fled from the face of 
Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of u Midian : And he 
sat down by a x well. 

16 Now the || priest of Midian had seven daughters : 
and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs 
to water their father's flock. 

1 7 And the shepherds came and drove them away: 
but Moses stood up and y helped them, and watered 
their flock. 

18 And when they came to z Roue! their father, he 
said, How is it that you are come so soon to-day ? 

19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of 
the hand of the shepherds, and also drew wetter enough 
for us, and watered the flock. 

20 And he said unto his " daughters, And where is 
he 1 why is it that ye have left tlie man ? call him, 
that he may eat b bread. 

21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man : 
and he c gave Moses d Zipporah his daughter. 

22 And she bare him a son, and he called hie name

CHAP. III. 

2 God appeareth to Moses in a burning bush : 
him to deliver Israel 
message to Israel. 

O W Moses a kept the flock of Jethro his father- 
in-law, the priest of Midian : and he led the 
flock to the back side of the desert, and came to the 
b ch. 19, 3. b mountain of God, even to Horeb. 

2 And the c angel of the Lord appeared unto him 
d in a flame of fire, out of the midst of a bush : and 
he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, 
and the bush was e not consumed. 

3 And Moses said, I will now f turn aside, and see 
this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 

4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to 
see, God called s unto him out of the midst of the bush, 
and said, h Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am 1. 

5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither : ' put off thy 
bVut'25,'9! shoes from off thy feet ; for the place whereon thou 
k 2 Pet. 1, standest is k holy ground. 

6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, ' the 
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of 
Jacob. And Moses m hid his face ; for he was afraid 
to look upon God. 

7 And the Lord said, n I have surely seen the afflic- 
tion of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard 

o ch. 2, 25. their cry by reason of their task-masters ; for ° I know 

their sorrows ; 
pGen. 11,5. 8 And I am p come down to deliver them out of the 
qLukei,74. i hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of 

that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land 
r Ezek. 20, flowing with r milk and honey ; unto the place of the 

Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and 

the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 

9 8 Now therefore, behold, the ciy of the children 
of Israel is come unto me : and I have also seen the 
oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. 

1 Come now, therefore, and I will l send thee unto 
Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people, the 
children of Israel, out of Egypt. 

11 And Moses said unto God, u Who am I, that I 
should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth 
the children of Israel out of Egypt ? 

12 And he said, x Certainly I will be with thee: 
and this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent 
thee ; When thou hast brought forth the people out of 
Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. 

13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I 
come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto 
them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you ; 
and they shall say to me, What is his name ? what 
shall I say unto them? 

14 And God said unto Moses, * I AM THAT I 
sr. 1,4.8! AM : and lle sa 'id, Thus shalt thou say unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 

15 And God said, moreover, unto Moses, Thus

shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord 
God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of 
Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you : 
this is my name for ever, and this is my 7 - memorial 
unto all generations. 

1 6 Go and gather the a elders of Israel together, 
and say unto them, The Lord God of your fathers, 
the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appear- 
ed unto me, saying, I have surely b visited you, and 
seen that which is done to you in Egypt : 

1 7 Anr? I have said, I will bring you up out of the 
affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, 
and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, 
and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flow- 
ing with milk and honey. 

1 8 And they shall hearken to thy voice : and thou 
shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king 
of Egypt ; and you shall say unto him, The Lord 
God of the Hebrews hath c met with us : and now let 
us go, we beseech thee, d three days' journey into the 
" wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our 
God. 

1 9 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not 
let you go, no, not by a f mighty hand. 

20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt 
with all my wonders which I will do in the midst 
thereof: and s after that he will let you go. 

21 And I will give this people h favour in the sight 
of the Egyptians : and it shall come to pass, that, 
when ye go, ye shall not go empty ; 

22 But every woman shall borrow of her neigh- 
bour, and of her that sojoumeth in her house, jewels 
of silver, and ' jewels of gold, and raiment : and ye 
shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daugh- 
ters ; and ye shall k spoil the Egyptians.

AND Moses answered and said, But, behold, they 
will a not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice : 
for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto 
thee. 

2 And the Lord said unto him, What is that in 
thine hand ? And he said, b A rod. 

3 And He said, Cast it on the ground. And he 
cast it on the ground, and it became c a serpent ; and 
Moses li fled from before it. 

4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine 
hand, and take it e by the tail. And he put forth his 
hand and f caught it, and it became a rod in his hand. 

5 That they s may believe that the Lord God of 
their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, 
and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. 

6 And the Lord said furthermore unto him, Put 
now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand 
into his bosom ; and when he took it out, behold, his 
hand was h leprous as snow. 

7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. 
And he put his hand into his ' bosom again, and 
plucked it out of his bosom ; and, behold, it was turn- 
ed again k as his other flesh. 

8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe 
thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that 
they will believe the l voice of the latter sign. 

9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe 
also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice,

that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour 
it upon the dry land : and the water, which thou takest 
out of the river, shall become m blood upon the dry land. 

1 And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I 
am not t eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou 
hast spoken unto thy servant : but I am t slow of 
speech, and of a slow tongue. 

1 1 And the Lord said unto him, Who hath n made 
man's mouth ? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or 
the seeing, or the blind ? have not I the Lord ? 

1 2 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, 
and teach thee what thou shalt say. 

13 And he said, p O my Lord, send, I pray thee, 
by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. 

1 4 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 
Moses ; and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy 
brother ? I know that he can q speak well. And also, 
behold, he cometh forth to meet thee ; and when he 
seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 

1 5 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put r words 
in his mouth : and I will be with thy mouth, and with 
his mouth, and will s teach you what ye shall do. 

1 6 And he shall be thy ' spokesman unto the peo- 
ple : and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead 
of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead u of God. 

17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, 
wherewith thou shalt x do signs. 

1 8 IT And Moses went, and returned to Jethro his 
father-in-law, and said unto him, y Let me go, I pray 
thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, 
and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said 
to Moses, Go in peace. 

19 And the Lord said unto Moses in Midian, Go, 
return into Egypt : for all the men are dead which 
z sought thy life. 

20 And Moses a took his wife and his sons, and set 
them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of 
Egypt. And Moses took the b rod of God in his hand. 

21 And the Lord said unto Moses, When thou goest 
to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those won- 
ders before Pharaoh which I have put in thine hand : 
but c I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the 
people go. 

22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith 
the Lord, Israel is u my son, even my e first-born : 

23 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he 
may serve me : and if thou refuse to let him go, be- 
hold, 1 will slay thy son, even thy first-born. 

24 IT And it came to pass, by the way in the inn, 
that the Lord r met him, and sought to g kill him. 

25 Then Zipporah took h a sharp stone, and cut off 
the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, 
Surely ' a bloody husband art thou to me. 

26 So he let him go : then she said, A bloody hus- 
band thou art, because of the circumcision. 

27 IT And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wil- 
derness k to meet Moses. And he went, and met him 
in the mount of God, and ' kissed him. 

28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord 
who had sent him, and m all the signs which he had 
commanded him. 

29 And Moses and Aaron went, and gathered to- 
gether ail the n elders of the children of Israel : 

30 And Aaron spake all the words which the Lord 
had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight 
of the people. 

31 And the people believed: and when they heard 
that the Lord had ° visited the children of Israel, and 



that he had looked upon their affliction, then they 
p bowed their heads and worshipped. 
CHAP. V. 

1 Pharaoh chideth Moses and Aaron for their message. 6 
He increaseth the Israelites' 1 task. 

AND afterward a Moses and Aaron went in, and 
b told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Is- 
rael, Let my people go, that they may hold c a feast 
unto me in the wilderness. 

2 And Pharaoh said, d Who is the Lord, that I 
should obey his voice to let Israel go ? I know net the 
Lord, neither will I let Israel go. 

3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews e hath 
met with us : let us go, we pray thee, three days' jour- 
ney into the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our 
God ; lest he fall upon us with f pestilence, or with the 
sword. 

4 And the king of Egypt said unto them, g Where- 
fore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their 
works ? get you unto your burdens. 

5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land 
now are h many, and }'ou make them rest from their 
burdens. 

6 IT And Pharaoh commanded the same day the 
1 task-masters of the people, and their officers, saying, 

7 Ye shall k no more give the people straw to make 
brick, t as heretofore : let them go and gather straw 
for themselves. 

8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make 
heretofore, you shall lay upon them ; you shall not 
diminish aught thereof: for they be idle; therefore 
they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. 

9 t Let there more work be laid upon the men, that 
they may labour therein ; and let them not regard 
' vain words. 

1 And the task-masters of the people m went out, 
and their officers, and they spake to the people, say- 
ing, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. 

11 Go ye, get you straw where you can find it : yet 
not aught of your n work shall be diminished. 

12 IT So the people were scattered abroad through- 
out all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble instead of 
straw. 

1 3 And the task-masters hasted them., saying, Fulfil 
your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw. 

14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which 
Pharaoh's task-masters had set over them, were beat- 
en, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled 
your task in making brick, both yesterday and to-day, 
as heretofore ? 

1 5 Then the officers of the children of Israel came 
and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest 
thou thus with thy servants ? 

16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and 
they say to us, Make brick : and, behold, thy servants 
are beaten ; but the fault is in thine own people. 

17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle ; therefore 
ye sa.y, Let us go and do sacrifice to the Lord. 

18 Go therefore now, and work ; for there shall no 
straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of 
bricks. 

19 And the officers of the children of Israel did see 
that they were ° in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall 
not minish aught from your bricks of your daily task. 

20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in 
the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh ; 

21 And they saitl unto them, The 1 -ord p look upon 
you, and "judge ; because you have made our savour

to be t abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the 
eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to 
slay us. 

22 IT And Moses r returned unto the Lord, and 
said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil-entreated this 
people ? why is it that thou hast sent me ? 

23 For since I came to s Pharaoh to speak in * thy 
name, he hath done evil to this people ; u neither hast 
thou delivered thy people at all. 

CHAP. VI. 

God reneweth his promise by his name JEHOVAH. 

HEN the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt 
thou see what I will do to Pharaoh : for with a 
strong hand shall he let them go, and a with a strong 
hand shall he drive them out of his land. 

2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, 
1 am the Lord : 

3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and 
unto Jacob, by the name of b God Almighty ; but by 
my name c JEHOVAH was I || not known to them. 

4 And I have also ll established my covenant with 
them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of 
their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. 

5 And I have also heard e the groaning of the chil- 
dren of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage ; 
and I have remembered f my covenant. 

6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am 
the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the 
burdens of the Egyptians, and 1 will rid you out of 
their bondage ; and I will redeem you 6 with a 
stretched-out arm, and with great judgments : 

7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I 
will be to you h a God : and ye shall know that I am 
the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from 
under the burdens of the Egyptians. 

8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concern- 
+ Heb. lift ing the which I t did swear to ' give it to Abraham, 
Gca V u22 to l saac ' an( l to Jacob ; and I will give it you for an 

Gen. 28, ' heritage : I am the Lord. 

9 IT And Moses spake so unto the children of Is- 
rael : but they hearkened not unto Moses, for t an- 
guish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. 

10 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

1 1 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that 
he let the children of Israel go out of his land. 

1 2 And Moses spake before the Lord, saying, Be- 
i4°29 4 ' 12 ' hold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto 

me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of

and they did so as the Lord had commanded : and 
Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before 
his servants, and it became a serpent. 

1 1 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the 

sorcerers : now the magicians of Egypt, they also 
did in like manner with their || enchantments : 

12 For they cast down every man Iris rod, and they 
became serpents : but Aaron's rod p swallowed up 
their rods. 

13 And q he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he 
hearkened not unto them ; as the Lord had said. 

14 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh's 
heart is t hardened, he refuseth to let the people go. 

1 5 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the r morning ; lo, he 
goeth out unto the water ; and thou shalt stand by the 
river's brink against he come ; and the rod which was 
turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand. 

1 6 And thou shalt say unto him, The Lord God of 
the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my 
people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness : 
and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear. 

1 7 Thus saith the Lord, In this thou shalt s know 
that I am the Lord : behold, I will smite with the rod 
that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the 
river, and they shall be turned to blood. 

18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the 
river shall stink ; and the Eg}^ptians shall t loathe to 
drink of the water of the river. 

19 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto 
Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon 
the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their 
rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their t pools 
of water, that they may become blood ; and that there 
may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in 
vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone. 

20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord com- 
manded ; and he ' lift up the rod, and smote the waters 
that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in 
the sight of his servants ; and all the waters that were 
in the river were turned to u blood. 

21 And the fish that teas in the river x died ; and the 
river y stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the 
water of the river : and there was blood throughout 

1 all the land of Egypt. 

22 And the magicians of Egypt a did so with their 
enchantments : and Pharaoh's heart was b hardened, 
neither did he hearken unto them ; as the Lord had 
said. 

23 And Pharaoh turned, and went into his house, 
neither did ho c set his heart to this also. 

24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the 
river for water to drink ; for they could not drink of the 
water of the river. 

25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the 
Lord had smitten the river. 

CHAP. VIII. 

1 Frogs are sent. 25 Pharaoh inclinelh lo let the people go, 
32 but yet is hardened. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, a Go unto Pha- 
raoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 
Let my people go, that they may serve me. 

2 And if thou refuse to let litem go, behold, I will 
smite all thy borders with frogs : 

3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, 
which shall go up and come into thine house, and into 
thy bed-chamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house 
of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine 
ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs : 




4 And the frogs shall come up, both b on thee, and 
upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. 

5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto 
Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the 
streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and 
cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 

6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the 
waters of Egypt ; and the ° frogs came up, and d covered 
the land of Egypt. 

7 And the magicians e did so with their enchant- 
ments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. 

8 II Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, 
and said, f Entreat the Lord, that he may take away 
the frogs from me, and from my people ; and I will 
let the people E go, that they may do sacrifice unto the 
Lord. 

9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, || Glory over me : 
when shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, 
and for thy people, to t destroy the frogs from thee 
and thy houses, that they may remain in the h river 
only? 

10 And he said, To-morrow. And he said, Be it 
according to thy word ; ' that thou mayest know that 
there is none like unto the Lord our God. 

1 1 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from 
thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy peo- 
ple ; they shall remain in the river only. 

12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh : 
and Moses k cried unto the Lord, because of the frogs 
which he had brought against Pharaoh. 

1 3 And the Lord did ' according to the word of 
Moses ; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of 
the villages, and out of the fields. 

1 4 And they gathered them together upon t heaps ; 
and the land m stank. 

15 IF But when Pharaoh saw that there was 
" respite, he t hardened his heart, and hearkened not 
unto them ; as the Lord had said. 

16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto 
Aaron, Stretch out thy ° rod, and smite the dust of 
the land, that it may become lice throughout all the 
land of Egypt. 

1 7 And they did so : for Aaron stretched out his 
hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, 
and it became p lice in man and in beast ; all the dust 
of the land became lice throughout all the land of 
Egypt. 

18 And the magicians did so with their enchant- 
ments to bring forth lice, but they q could not : so 
there were lice upon man and upon beast. 

19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This 
is the r finger of God : and Pharaoh's heart was hard- 
ened, and he hearkened not unto them ; as the Lord 
had said. 

20 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early 
in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo,^ he 
cometh forth to the water ; and say unto him, Thus 
saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may 
serve me : 

21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, 
I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy 
servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; 
and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of 

|| swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon i they are. BOr, ««t. 

22 And 1 will sever in that day the land of Goshen, KCtl f 
in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies P». n. 45 
shall be there ; to the end thou mayest know that I 

am the Lord in the midst of the earth.

The plague of flier, EXODUS 

23 And I will put a division between my people 
and thy people : to-morrow shall this sign be. 

24 And the Lord did so : and there came a griev- 
ous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into 
his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt; the 
land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies. 

25 IT And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, 
and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land. 

26 And Moses said, It is s not meet so to do ; for 
we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to 
the Lord our God : lo, shall we sacrifice the l abomi- 
nation of the Egyptians before their eyes, and u will 

& 12,30, 3i. they not stone us? 

27 We will go three days' journey into the wilder- 
ness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he shall 
x command us. 

28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may 
sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness ; only 
ye shall not go very far away : y entreat for me. 

29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, 
and I will entreat the Lord that the swarms of flies 

jkra 6, 10! ma y depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from 
his people, to-morrow : but let not Pharaoh z deal de- 
ceitfully any more in not letting the people go to! 
sacrifice to the Lord. 

30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and en-j 
treated the Lord. 

31 And the Lord did according to the word of Mo- 
ses ; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pha- 
raoh, from his servants, and from his people : there 
remained not one. 

32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time 
also, neither would he let the people go.

God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they 
may serve me. 

2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold 
them still, 

3 Behold, the b hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle 
which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, 
upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep : 
there shall be a very grievous c murrain. 

4 And the Lord shall d sever between the cattle of 
Israel and the cattle of Egypt : and there shall nothing 



murrain, boils, blams, etna hail.

die of all that is the children's of Israel. 

5 And the Lord e appointed a set time, saying, 
f To-morrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land. 

6 And the Lord did that thing on the morrow, and 
g all the cattle of Egypt died : but of the cattle of the 
children of Israel died not one. 

7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not 
one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the 
heart of Pharaoh was h hardened, and he did not let 
the people go. 

8 IT And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, 
Take to you ' handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let 
Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of 
Pharaoh. 

9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of 
Egypt, and shall be a k boil breaking forth with blains 
1 upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of 
Egypt. 

10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood 
before Pharaoh ; and Moses sprinkled it up toward 



heaven : and it became a boil breaking forth with 
blains upon man and upon beast. 

1 1 And the magicians m could not stand before Mo- 
ses because of the boils ; for the boil was upon the 
magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. 

12 And the Lord n hardened the heart of Pharaoh, 
and he hearkened not unto them : as the Lord had Rev. 16, 2. 
spoken unto Moses. 

1 3 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early 
in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say 
unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, 
Let my people go, that they may serve me. 

14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon 
thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy 
people ; that thou mayest know that there is none like 
me in all the earth. 

1 5 For now I will p stretch out my hand, that I may 
smite thee and thy people with pestilence ; and thou 
shalt be cut off from the earth. ' 

16 And in very deed q for this cause have I t raised 9 Rom. 9, 
thee up, r for to shew in thee my power ; and that s my 
name may be declared throughout all the earth. 

1 7 l As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, 
that thou wilt not let them go ? 

1 8 Behold, to-morrow about this time, I w T ill cause 
it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been 
in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now. 

1 9 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and 
all that thou hast in the field ; for upon every man and tisa.26,11. 
beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not 
be brought home, the hail shall come down upon 
them, and they shall die. 

20 He that u feared the word of the Lord among uJonah3,6 
the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his 
cattle flee into the houses : 

21 And he that t regarded not the word of the Lord 
left his servants and his cattle in the field. 

22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth 
thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in 
all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and 
upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of 
Egypt. 

23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward hea- 
ven ; and the Lord sent x thunder and y hail, and the 
L fire ran along upon the ground : and the Lord rain- 
ed hail upon the land of Egypt. 

24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, 
very grievous, such as there was a none like it in all 
the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 

25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of \l*w$%. 
Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast ; 
and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake 
every tree of the field. 

26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the cliildren 
of Israel were, was there b no hail. 

27 IF And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and 
Aaron, and said unto them, c I have sinned this time : 
the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. 

28 d Entreat the Lord (for it is enough) that there 
be no more mighty t thunderings and hail ; and I will 
let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. 

29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone 
out of the city I will spread abroad e my hands unto 
the Lord ; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall 
there be any more hail ; that thou mayest know how 
that the f earth is the Lord's. 

30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye f * fj"S* 
will g not yet fear the Lord God. p^ \ 6 6

31 And the flax and the barley was smitten ; for

32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten ; 
for they were t not grown up. 

33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, 
and spread abroad his hands unto the Lord ; and the 
thunders and hail h ceased, and the rain was not pour- 
ed upon the earth. 

34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the 
hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, 
and ' hardened his heart, he and his servants. 

35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither 
would he let the children of Israel go ; as the Lord 
had spoken by Moses. 

CHAP. X. 

7 Pharaoh, moved by his servants, inclineth to let the Israel- 
ites go. 12 The plague of the locusts. 24 Pharaoh sueth 
unto Moses. 

AND the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pha- 
raoh : for I have a hardened liis heart, and the 
heart of his servants, that I might shew these my 
signs before him : 

2 And that thou mayest tell b in the ears of thy son, 
and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in 
Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them ; 
that ye may know how that I am the Lord. 

3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and 
said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the He- 
brews, How long wilt thou refuse to c humble thyself 
before me ? Let my people go, that they may serve me. 

4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, 
to-morrow will I bring the cl locusts into thy coast : 

5 And they shall cover the t face of the earth, that 
one cannot be able to see the earth : and they shall 
eat the e residue of that which is escaped, which re- 
maineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every 
tree which groweth for you out of the field : 

6 x\nd they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of 
all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians ; 
which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have 
seen, since the day that they were upon the earth 
unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out 
from Pharaoh. 

7 If And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How 
long shall this man be f a snare unto us ? Let the men 
go, that they may serve the Lord their God : Know- 
est thou not yet that Egypt s is destroyed ? 

8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto 
Pharaoh : and he said unto them, Go, serve the Lord 
your God : but t who are they that shall go ? 

9 And Moses said, We will go with our h young 
and with our old, with our sons and with our daugh- 
ters, with our ' flocks and with our herds will we go : 
for we must hold k a feast unto the Lord. 

10 And he said unto them, Let the Lord be 'so 
with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones : 
m look to it ; for evil is before you. 

1 1 Not so : go now ye that are men, and serve the 
Lord ; for that n you did desire. And they were 
driven out from Pharaoh's presence. 

12 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Stietch out 
thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that 
they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat 
every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. 

13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land 
of Egypt, and the Lord brought ° an east wind upon 
the land all that day, and all that night ; and when it 
was morning, the east wind brought the p locusts.

ND the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in 

the land of Egypt, saying, 

2 Tliis a month shall be unto you the beginning of 
months : it shall be the first month of the year to you. 

3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, say- 
ing, In the b tenth day of this month they shall take 
to them every man c a lamb, according to the house 
of their fathers, a lamb for a house : 

4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, 
i Cor. 5," . ie t him and his neighbour next unto his house take it, 
d Mat. 26, according to the number of the souls : d every man, 
18 - according to his eating, shall make yoiu* count for the 

lamb. 

5 Your lamb shall be e without blemish, a male 
of the first year ; ye shall take it out from the sheep 
or from the goats : 

6 And ye shall keep it up until the f fourteenth day 
g 2Chr. 30, of the same month : and the g whole assembly of the 
h 5 Mark is con g re g anon °f Israel shall kill it h in the evening.

the houses where you are : and when I see the blood, 



I will l pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon 
you t to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. 

1 4 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial ; 
and you shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout 
your generations ; you shall keep it u a feast by an 
ordinance x for ever. 

15 y Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; 
even the first day ye z shall put away leaven out of

from the first day until the seventh day, that soul 
shall be a cut off from Israel. 

16 And in the first day there shall be b a holy con- 
vocation, and in the seventh day there shall be a 
holy convocation to you ; no manner of work shall 
c be done in them, save that which every man must 
eat, that only may be done of you. 

1 7 And ye shall observe /Ae/eas^oAmleavened bread ; 
for in this self-same day have d I brought your armies 
out of the land of Egypt : therefore shall ye observe 
this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. 

18 In the e first month, on the fourteenth day of the 
month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until 
the one and twentieth day of the month at even. 

19 Seven days shall there be no leaven f found in 
your houses : for whosoever eateth that which is 
leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the con- 
gregation of Israel, whether he be a g stranger, or 
born in the land. 

20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened ; in all your 
habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. 

21 II Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, 
and said unto them, Draw out, and take you a lamb, 
according to your families, and kill the '' passover. 

22 And ye shall take a bunch of ' hyssop, and dip 
it in the blood that is in the bason, and k strike the 
lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in 
the bason ; and none of you shall ' go out at the door 
of his house until the morning. 

23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the 
Egyptians ; and when he seeth the blood upon the 
lintel, and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass 
over the door, and will m not suffer the destroyer to 
come in unto your houses to smite you- 

24 And ye shall observe this tiling f r an ordinance 
to thee and to thy sons for ever. 

25 And it shall come to pass, wb 1 ye be come to

shall say unto you, n What mean you by this sei-vice 1 

27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the 
Lord's passover, who passed over the houses of the 
children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyp- 
tians, and delivered our houses. And the people 
bowed the head, and worshipped. 

28 IT And the children of Israel went away, and 
did ° as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, 
so did they. 

29 And it came to pass, that, p at midnight, the 
Lord smote all q the first-born in the land of Egypt, 
from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, 
unto the first-born of the captive that ivas in the dun- 
geon ; and ail the first-born of cattle. 

30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all 
his servants, and all the Egyptians ; and there was 
r a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house 
where there was not one dead.

and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my 
people, both you and the children of Israel ; and go, 
serve the Lord, as ye have said. 

32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have 
said, and be gone ; and l bless me also. 

33 And the Egyptians were u urgent upon the peo- 
ple, that they might send them out of the land in haste ; 

x Gen. 2o,3. f or tl ie y said, We be x all dead men. 

" ' " ' 34 And the people took their dough before it was 
ycii. 8, 29. leavened, their y kneading-troughs being bound up in 
their clothes upon their shoulders. 

35 And the children of Israel did according to the 
i di. 3, 22. word of Moses ; and they z borrowed of the Egyptians 

jewels of silver.and jewels of gold, and raiment : 

36 And the Lord gave the people a favour in the sight 
of the Egyptians, so that they b lent unto them such 
things as they required: and they spoiled the Egyptians. 

37 And the children of Israel journeyed from c lla- 
meses to Succoth, about d six hundred thousand on 
foot that were men, besides children. 

33 And a t mixed multitude went up also with 
them ; and flocks and herds, even very much cattle. 

39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough 
which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not 

e ch. a, ik. leavened : because they were. e thrust out of Egypt, 
and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for 
themselves any victual. 

40 IT Now the f sojourning of the children of Israel, 
who dwelt in Egypt, was 6 four hundred and thirty years. 

41 And it Came to pass at the end of the four hun- 
dred and thirty years, even h the self-same day it came 
to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from 
the land of Egypt. 

42 It is a night t to be much observed unto the 
Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt : 
this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the 
children of Israel in their generations. 

43 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This 
is the ordinance of the passover : There shall ' no 
stranger eat thereof: 

44 But every man's servant that is k bought for 
money, when thou hast circumcised him, then ' shall 
he eat thereof. 

45 m A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat 
thereof. 

46 n In one house shall it be eaten : thou shall not 
cany forth aught of the flesh abroad onto! the house; 
neither shall ye break a ° bone thereof. 

47 All the congregation of Israel shall p keep it. 

48 And when q a stranger shall sojourn with thee, 
and will r keep the passover to the Lord, let all his 
males be circumcised, and then s let him come near 
and keep it ; and he shall be as one that is born in the 
land : for l no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 

49 " One law shall be. to him that is home-born, and 
unto the stranger that sqjourneth among you. 

50 Thus did all the children of Israel : as the Lord 
commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 

51 And it came to pass, the self-same day, that the 
Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the hind 
of Egypt by their armies.

3 And Moses" said unto the people, d Remember 
this day, in which ye came out bom Egypt, out of the 
house of bondage ; for e by strength of hand the Lord 
brought you out from this place : there shall no 
1 leavened bread be eaten. 

4 This day came ye out, in the month A bib. 

5 And it shall be, when the Lord shah bring thee 
into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and 
the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, 
which he sware unto thy lathers to give thee, a land 
flowing with milk and honey, that thou shall keep this 
service in this month. 

6 Seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread, and 
in the seventh day stall be g a feast to the Lord. 

7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days : 
and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee; 
neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy 
quarters'. 

8 II And thou shalt '' shew thy son in that day, 
saying, This is done because of that -which the Lord 
did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. 

9 And it shall be for ! a sign unto thee k upon thine 
hand, and for- a memorial between thine eyes ; that 
the Lord's law may be in thy ' mouth : for with a 
strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt. 

1 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his 
season from year to year. 

1 1 And it shall be, when the Lord shall bring thee 
into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee 
and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee, 

12 That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord m all 
that openeth the matrix, and every " firstling that 
cometh of a beast which thou hast ; the males shall be 
the Lord's. 

13 And every firstling of an ° ass thou shalt redeem 
with p a lamb ; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then 
thou shalt l! break his neck : and all the first-born of 
man among thy children shalt thou r redeem. 

14 And it shall be, when thy son asketh thee tin ir. 
time to come, saying, s What is this ? that thou shalt * 
say unto him, By strength of hand the Lord brought 
' us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage : 

15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh "would 
baldly let us go, that the Lord slew ail the first-born 
in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and 
the first-born of beasts : therefore I sacrifice to 
Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males ; 
all the first-born of my children I redeem. 

16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, 
for * frontlets between thine eyes: for by strengt 
hand the Lord brought us forth out of -.Egypt. 

1 7 IT And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the 
people go, that God led them not through } 'the way of 
tin" land of the Philistines, although that was near ; for 
God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when 
they z see war, and they return to Egypt : 

1 8 But God led the people about, through the _" w n\ 
of the wilderness of the Red Sea. \nd the ch I 
of Israel went Up t harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

7 And he took six hundred h chosen chariots, and

8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh

Israel : and the children of Israel went out with a

9 But the Egyptians k pursued after them, (ail the 
lorses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, 

and his army,) and overtook them encamping by the 
sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon. 

1 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of

i Mat. 8,20. marched after them ; and they were 'sore afraid : and

7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou

1 2 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, y the earth

1 3 Thou in thy mercy hast z led forth the people

1 4 The people shall hear, and a be afraid : sorrow

19 For the f horse of Pharaoh went in with his 
chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the 
Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them : 
but the children of Israel went on dry land in the 
midst of the sea. 

20 IF And Miriam the g prophetess, the sister of 
Aaron, took b a timbrel in her hand ; and all the wo- 
men went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 

21 And Miriam answered 'them, Sing ye to the 
Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously ; the horse 
and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. 

22 IF So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea ; 
and they went out into the wilderness of k Shur : and 
they went 'three days in the wilderness, and found 
no water. 

23 And when they came to ,n Marah, they could 
not drink of the. waters of Marah, for they ?vere bitter : 
therefore the name of it was called Marah. 

24 And the people " murmured against Moses, 
saying, " What shall we drink ?

1 The Israelites murmur for want of bread. 4 God pro-

ND they took "their journey from Elim ; and all 
the congregation of the children of Israel came 
unto the wilderness of b Sin, which is between Elim i> E>ek. 30, 
and Sinai, on the c fifteenth day of the second month ^ Ia( ]5 
after their departing out of the land of Egypt. 32. 

2 And the d whole congregation of the children of dGen. 19,4. 
Israel e murmured against Moses and Aaron in the ecu. 15,24. 
wilderness : 

3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would 
to God we had f died by the hand of the Lord in the f Lam. 4, !>. 
land of Egypt, when we sat by the 6 flesh-pots, and ]f or - 10, 
when we did eat bread to the full ! for ye have g ch. 2, 23. 
brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this 
h whole assembly with hunger. 

4 Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will 
1 rain bread from heaven for you ; and the people shall 
go out and gather t a certain rate every da)', that i 
may k prove them, whether they will walk in my law 
or no. 

5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day 
they shall prepare that which they bring in ; and it 
shall be twice as much as they gather daily. 

6 And Moses <uid Aaron said unto all the children L,a1 "- 8 . 
of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the Lord 
hath brought you out from the land of Egypt ; 

7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the 'glory 
of the Lord; for that he heareth your murmurings 
'" against the Lord : and what are we, that ye murmur 
against us ? 

8 And Moses said, This shall he, when the Lord 
shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the 
morning bread to the full ; for that the Lord heareth 
your murmurings which ye murmur against him : 
and what are we ? your murmurings are " not against 
us, but against the Lord. 

9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the 
congregation of the children of Israel, Come near 
" before the Lord ; for he hath heard your murmurings. 

10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the 
whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they

15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they 
said one to another, || ft is manna : for they wist not 
what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the 
>read which the Lord hath given you to eat: 

16 This is the tiling which the Lord hath com- 
manded: Gather of it every man according to his 
eating; an omer x for every man: according to the 
number of your persons, take ye every man for them 
which are in his tents. 

17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, 
y some more, some less. 

1 8 And when they did mete it with an omer, he 
that gathered much had z nothing over, and he that 
gathered little had no lack : they gathered every man 
according to his eating. 

19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the 
morning. 

20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Mo- 
ses ; but some of them left of it until the morning, and 
it a bred worms, and stank ; and Moses was wroth 
with them. 

21 And they gathered it every morning, every man 
according to his eating : and when the sun waxed 
hot, b it melted. 

22 IT And it. came to pass, that on the sixth day 
they gathered c twice as much bread, two omers for 
one man : and all the rulers of the congregation came 
and d told Moses. 

23 And he said unto them, This is that which the 
Lord hath said, To-morrow is the rest of the e holy 
sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which you will 
bake to-day, and seethe that ye will seethe ; and that 
which remaineth over lay up for you, to be kept until 
the morning. 

24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses 



>y 



bade; and it did f not stink, neither was there a 
worm therein. 

25 And Moses said, * Eat that to-day; for to-day 
is a sabbath unto the Lord : to-day ye shall not find 
it in the field. 

26 Six days ye shall gather it ; but on the seventh 
day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall h be none. 

27 *U And it came to pass, that there ' went out some 
of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and 
they k found none. 

28 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long 
refuse; ye to keep ' my commandments and my laws.? 

29 See, for that the Lord hath given you the sab- 
bath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the 
bread of two days : abide ye every man in his place; 
let no man go '" out of his- place on the seventh day. 

30 So the people "rested on the seventh day. 

31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof 
Manna : and it was ° like coriander-seed, white ; and 
the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. 

32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the 
Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it, to be kept «' for 
your generations ; that they may see the bread where- 
with I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought 
you forth from the land of Egypt. 

33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take q a pot, and 
put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up 
'before the Lord, to be kept for your generations. 

34 As the Lord commanded Aloses, so Aaron laid 
it up before the testimony, B to be kept.

1 The people murmur for water at Rephidim. 8 Arnalek is 
overcome. 15 Moses bvildeth the altar J EHOVAH-nissi . 

ND all the congregation of the children of Israel 
journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, * after, 
their journies, according to the, b commandment of the 
Lord, and pitched in Rephidim : and there was no 
water for the people to drink. 

2 Wherefore the people did c chide with Moses, 
and said, d Give us water that we may drink. And 
Moses said unto them, Why chide you with me ? 
wherefore do ye e tempt the Lord ? 

3 And the people, thirsted there for water ; and the 
people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore 
is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to 
kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst ? 

4 And Moses f cried unto the Lord, saying, What (ch - *** l5 - 
shall 1 do unto this people ? g they be almost ready u!" ji. ' 
to stone me. P* 65, 7. 

5 And the Lord said unto Moses, h Go on before $ 
the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel ; 
and ' thy rod, wherewith thou srnotest the river, take 
in thine hand, and go. 

6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the 
rock in Horeb ; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there 
shall come k water out of it, that the people may drink. 
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 

7 And he called the name of the place || Massah, 
and || Meribah, because of the chiding of the children 
of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, 
Is the Lord among us, or not ? 

8 IT Then came ' Arnalek, and fought with Israel 
in Rephidim. 

9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, 
and go out, fight with Arnalek : to-morrow I will 
stand on the top of the hill, with the m rod of God in 
mine hand. 

1 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and 
fought with Arnalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, 
went up to the top of the hill. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when Moses n held up his 
hand, that Israel prevailed ; and when he let ° down 
his hand, Arnalek prevailed. 

12 But Moses' hands were >' heavy; and they took 
q a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon : 
and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on 
tii- - one side, and the other on the other side ; and his 
hands were r steady until the going clown of the sun. 

13 And Joshua discomfited Arnalek and his people 
with the edge of the sword. 

14 IF And the Lord said unto Moses, s Write this 
for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears 
of Joshua ; for I will ' utterly put out the remembrance 
of Arnalek from under heaven. 

15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name 
of it |! JEHOVAH-nissi. 

1 6 For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn, that 
the Lord will have war with Arnalek from generation 
to generation.

Jcthro^s counsel to JMoscs. 



for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the 
Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt, 

2 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, 
Moses' wife, c after he had sent her back, 

3 And her two sons, of which the name of the one 
was '' Gershom ; for he said, i have been an alien in 
a strange land : 

4 And the name of the other icas || Eliezer ; For 
the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and 
delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh. 

5 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his 
sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, 
where he encamped at the e mount of God : 

6 And he said unto Moses, I thy father-in-law 
Jethro, am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two 
sons with her. 

7 And Moses went out to f meet his father-in-law, 
and s did obeisance, and h kissed him ; and they asked 
each other of their t welfare ; and they came into the 
tent. 

8 And Moses told his father-in-law all that the 
Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for 
Israel's sake, and all the travail that had t come upon 
them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them. 

9 And Jethro ' rejoiced for all the goodness which 
the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered 
out of the hand of the Egyptians. 

10 And Jethro said, Blessed be the Lord, who 
hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, 
and out of the hand of Pharaoh ; who hath delivered 
the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 

1 1 k Now I know that the Lord is greater than all 
gods : for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he 
was ' above them. 

12 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, m took a burnt- 
offering and " sacrifices for God : and Aaron came, 
and all the elders of Israel, to eat ° bread with Moses' 
father-in-law p before God. 

13 If And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
Moses q sat to judge the people : and the people stood 
by Moses from the morning unto the evening. 

14 And when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he 
did to the people, he said, What is this thing that 
thou doest to the people ? why sittest thou thyself 
alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning 
unto even ? 

1 5 And Moses said unto his father-in-law, Because 
the people come unto me r to inquire of God : 

16 When they have a matter, they come unto me ; 
and I judge between one and another ; and I do make 
them know the statutes of God, and his laws. 

1 7 And Moses' father-in-law said unto him, The 
thing that thou doest is 3 not good. 

18 Thou wilt t surely wear away, both thou and 
this people that is with thee : for this thing is too heavy 
for thee ; thou art l not able to perform it thyself alone. 

19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee 
counsel, "and God shall be with thee;: Be thou for 
the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the 
* causes unto God : 

20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, 
and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, 
and - v the work that they must do. 

21 Moreover, thou shalt provide out of all the peo- 
ple z able men, such as a (ear God, b men of truth, 
c hating covetousness ; and place such over them, to 
be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers 
of fifties, and rules of tens :

and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring

23 If thou shalt do this thing, r and God command 
thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this 
people shall also go to their place in peace. 

24 So Moses s hearkened to the voice of his father- 
in-law, and did all that he had said. 

25 And Moses h chose able men out of all Israel, h Acts n, 
and made them heads over the people, rulers of D ^' u( 7 , 3

1 The people come to Sinai. 3 God's message by Moses unto

IN the '" third month, when the children of Israel 
were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same 
day came they into the wilderness of b Sinai. 

2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and 3 8 c(s 7 > 30 - 
were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the 
wilderness ; and there Israel camped before the mount. 

3 And Moses went up c unto God, and the Lord c Hum. 9,

Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord. 

10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the

16 And it came to pass on the third day, in the 
morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and 
x a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the 
y trumpet exceeding loud ; so that all the people that 
was in the camp z trembled. 

17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the 
camp to a meet with God ; and they stood at the 
nether part of the mount. 

18 And mount Sinai was altogether on b a smoke, 
because the Lord descended upon it c in fire ; and the 
smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, 
and the d whole mount quaked greatly. 

19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded

20 And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai,

22 And let h the priests also, which ' come near to

Idolatry fori 

1 1 For in n six days the Lord made heaven and 
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the 
seventh day : wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath- 
day, and hallowed it. 

1 2 ° Honour thy father and thy mother ; that thy 
days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy 
God giveth thee. 

13 Thou shalt i" not kill. 

14 Thou shalt not commit q adultery. 

1 5 Thou shalt r not steal. 

1 6 Thou shalt not s bear false witness against thy 
neighbour. 

1 7 Thou shalt not * covet thy neighbour's house, 
thou shalt not covet thv neighbour's wife, nor his man- 
servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, 
nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.) 

1 8 U And all the people saw " the thunderings, and 
the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the 
mountain smoking : and when the people saw it, they 
x removed, and stood afar off. 

1 9 And y they said unto Moses, Speak thou with 
us, and we z will hear : but let not God speak with 
us, a lest we die. 

20 And Moses said unto the people, b Fear not : 
for God is come c to prove you, and that his fear may 
be before your faces, that ye d sin not. 

21 And the people stood afar off: and Moses drew 
near unto the e thick darkness where God was. 

/22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt 
say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I 
have talked with you from f heaven. 

23 Ye shall not make with me 6 gods of silver, 
neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. 

24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and 
shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy 
peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen : h in all 
places where I ' record my name I will come unto 
thee, and I will k bless thee. 

25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of ' stone, 
thou shalt not build it of hewn stone : for if thou lift 
up thy tool upon it, thou hast m polluted it. 

26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine 
altar, that thy n nakedness be not discovered thereon.

2 If thou buy b a Hebrew servant, six years he 
shall c serve ; and in the seventh he shall go out d free 
for e nothing. 

3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by him- 
self: if he were married, then his wife shall go out

4 If his master have f given him a wife, and she 
have borne him sons or daughters ; the wife and her 
children shall be her master's, and he shall go out E by g Gen. 21, 9

5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my

free: 

6 Then his master shall bring him unto the t judges ; fUeb.goJs. 
he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door-

her to himself, then shall lie let her be redeemed : to

God^s promises to the people 

1 1 And m six years thou shalt sow thy land, and 
shalt gather in the fruits thereof: 

1 1 But the seventh year thou shalt let " it rest and 
lie still ; that the poor of thy people may eat : and 
what they leave, the beasts of the held shall eat. In 
like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and 30, si. 7 ' * ' 
with thy olive-yard. 

1 2 if Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the 
seventh day thou shalt rest ; that thine ox and thine 
ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid and the 
stranger may be refreshed. 

13 If And in all things that I have said unto you be 
circumspect : and make no mention of the v names of °Eph. 5, 15. 
other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. 

1 4 IT Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me 
in the year. 

1 5 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread : 
(thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I 
commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month 
Abib ; for in it thou earnest out horn Egypt ; and none 
shall q appear before me empty :) 

16 And the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy 
labours, which thou hast sown in the field : and the 
feast of in-gathering, which is in the end of the year, 
when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. 

17 Three times in the year r all thy males shall 
appear before the Lord God. 

1 8 IT Thou shalt s not offer the blood of my sacrifice s <=h. 34, 15. 
with leavened bread ; neither shall the fat of my || sa- II Or, feast, 
orifice remain until the morning. c ^ 25 ' 

1 9 The first of the t first-fruits of thy land thou shalt. * <*. 34, 26. 
bring into the u house of the Lord thy God. Thou u * Chr - 9 > 
shalt not x seethe a kid in his mother's milk. 

20 IT Behold, I send y an Angel before thee, z to 
keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the a place 
which I have prepared. 

21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke 
him not ; for he will b not pardon your transgressions : 
for my name is c in him. 

22 But if thou shall, indeed d obey his voice, and do 4 - 
all that 1 speak, then I will be e an enemy unto thine j^hnio^o. 
enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 38. 

23 For mine Angel shall go f before thee, and bring \ ch?i9'*| 
thee in unto the s Amorites, »and the Hittites, and the Ps. si, is. ' 
Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the n^"^ 2 ^; 
Jebusites ; and I will cut them off. g Gen. 15, 

24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor 18 - 
serve them, nor do h after their works ; but thou shalt hLev. 18,3. 
utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their 
images. 

25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he 
shall bless ' thy bread and thy water, and I will take i Daniel 11, 
k sickness away from the midst of thee. 

26 There shall nothing ' cast their young, nor be 
barren, in thy land : the number of thy days I will 
- fulfil. 

27 I will send n my fear before thee, and will de- 
stroy all the people to whom thou shalt come ; and I i Sam. ii, 
will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. 15 ' 

28 And I will send "hornets before thee, which o Deut. 7, 
shall drive ou> the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the jo' s h. 24,12. 
Hittite, from before thee. 

29 I will not drive them out from before thee in 
one year ; lest the land become desolate, and the 
beast of the field multiply against thee. 

30 By little and little [ will drive them out from be- 
fore thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 

31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea

CHAP. XXIV. 

1 Moses is called up into the mountain. 4 Moses buildelh an 
altar, and twelve pillars : 6 He sprinkleth the blood of the 
covenant. 9 The glory of God appeareth. 15 Moses 
continueth forty days and forty nights in the mount. 

AND he said unto Moses, Come up unto the Lord, 
a thou, and Aaron, b Nadab, and Abihu, and 
c seventy of the elders of Israel ; and worship d ye 
afar off. 

2 And Moses e alone shall come near the Lord ; 
but they shall not come nigh, neither shall the people 
go up with him. 

3 And Moses came, and told the people all the 
words of the Lord, and all the judgments : and all 
the people answered with one voice, and said, All the 
words which the Lord hath said f will we do. 

4 And Moses g wrote all the words of the Lord, 
and rose up early in the morning, and builded h an 
altar under the hill, and twelve ' pillars, according to 
the k twelve tribes of Israel. 

5 And he sent ' young men of the children of Israel, 
which offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed m peace- 
offerings of n oxen unto the Lord. 

6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in 
basons ; and half of the blood he sprinkled ° on the 
altar. 

7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read 
in the audience of the people : and they said, All that 
the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. 

8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it p on 
the people, and said, q Behold the blood of the cove- 
nant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning 
all these words. 

9 H Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and 
Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ; 

1 And they ' saw the God of Israel : and there 
was under his feet as it were a paved work of a 9 sap 
phire-stone, and as it were the l body of heaven in his 
clearness. 

1 1 And upon the " nobles of the children of Israel 
he x laid not his hand : also they saw God, and y did 
eat and drink. 

12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me 
into the mount, and be there : and I will give thee 
z tables of stone, and a law, and commandments 
which I have written ; that thou mayest teach them. 

13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua; 
and Moses went up into the mount of God. 

14 And he said unto the ciders, Tarry ye here for 
us, until we come again unto you : and, behold, Aaron 
and Hur are with you ; if any man have any matters 
to do, let him come unto them. 

•Mat. 17,5. 15 And Moses went up into the mount, and "a 
cloud covered the mount. 

16 And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount 
Sinai, and the cloud covered it six clays : and the 
seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst 
of the cloud. 

17 And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like

six names of the rest on the other stone, according to 
1 their birth. 

1 1 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the 
engravings of a signet, shalt thou m engrave the two 
stones with the names of the children of Israel : thou 
shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold. 

12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the 
shoulders of the ephod, for stones of n memorial unto 
the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their 
names before the Lord upon his two ° shoulders for 
a memorial.

four rows of stones : the first row shall be a r sardius, 
s a topaz, and a l carbuncle : this shall be the first row. 

1 8 And the second row shall be an u emerald, x a 
sapphire, and a y diamond. 

1 9 And the third row a z figure, an a agate, and an 
b amethyst. 

20 And the fourth row a c beryl, and an d onyx, and 
a e jasper : they shall be set in gold in their inclosings. 

21 And the stones shall be with the names of the 
children of Israel, twelve, according to their names 
like the engravings of a signet ; every one with his 
name shall they be according to the twelve tribes. 

22 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains 
at the ends of wreathen-work of pure gold. 

23 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two 
rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two 
ends of the breastplate. 

24 And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of 
gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the 
breastplate. 

25 And the other two ends of the two wreathen

26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and 
thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breast- 
plate, in the border thereof, which is in the side of the 
ephod inward. 

27 And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, 
and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod 
underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against

5 And thou shalt take the garments, and g put upon 
Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the 
ephod, and the breastplate, and h gird him with the 
curious girdle of the ephod : 

6 And thou shalt put the * mitre upon his head, and 
put the k holy crown upon the mitre. 

7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour 
it upon his head, and ' anoint him. 

8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon 
them. 

9 And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and 
his sons, and put the bonnets on them : and the priest's 
office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute : and thou 
shalt m consecrate Aaron and his sons. 

10 And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought 
before the tabernacle of the congregation : and Aaron 
and his sons shall n put their hands upon the head of 
the bullock. 

1 1 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the Lord, 
by the ° door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 

12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, 
and put it upon the horns of the ? altar with thy q finger, 
and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar. 

1 3 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the 
inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the 
two kidneys, and the r fat that is upon them, and burn 
them upon the altar. 

14 But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his 
dung, shalt thou burn with fire 8 without the camp : it 
is a sin-offering. . 

1 5 Thou shalt also take one ram ; and Aaron and 
his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. 

16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take 
his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar. 

1 7 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and * wash 
the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto 
his pieces, and unto his head. 

1 8 And thou shalt u burn the whole ram upon the 
altar : it is a burnt-offering unto the Lord : it is a 
x sweet savour, an offering made by y fire unto the 
Lord. 

19 And thou shalt take the other ram ; and Aaron 
and his sons shall put z their hands upon the head of 
the ram. 

20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his 
blood, and put it upon the a tip of the right ear of 
Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, 
and upon the thumb of their right b hand, and upon 
the great toe of their right c foot, and sprinkle the blood 
upon the d altar round about. 

2 1 And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the 
altar, and of e the anointing oil, and f sprinkle it upon 
Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and 
upon the garments of his sons with him : and he shall 
be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his 
sons' garments with him. 

22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the 
rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the 
caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat 
that is upon them, and the g right shoulder ; for it is 
a ram of consecration : 

23 And one h loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled 
bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the un- 
leavened bread that is before the Loan : 

24 And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron 
and in the hands of his sons, and shalt ' wavethein/or 
a wave-offering before the Loud. 

25 And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and 



burn them upon the altar for a burnt-offering, for k a 
sweet savour before the Lord : it is an offering made 
by fire unto the Lord. 

26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of 
Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave-offering 
before the Lord : and it shall be ' thy part. 

27 And thou skalt sanctify the breast of the wave- 
offering, and the shoulder of the m heave-offering, 
which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram 
of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, 
and of that which is for his sons : 

28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute 
D for ever from the children of Israel •, for it is a heave- 
offering: and it shall be a heave-offering from the 
children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace-offer- 
ings, even their heave-offering unto the Lord. 

29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his 
sons' after him, to be ° anointed therein, and to be con- 
secrated in them. 

30 And that son that is priest in his stead shan puc 
them on p seven days, when he cometh into the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, to minister in the ho\y place. 

31 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, 
and seethe his flesh in the q holy place. 

32 And r Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the 
ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door 
of the tabernacle of the congregation. 

33 And they shall eat those things wherewith the 
s atonement was made to consecrate and to sanctify 
them : but * a stranger shall not eat thereof because 
they are holy. 

34 And if aught of the flesh of the consecrations, 
or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou 
shalt burn the u remainder with fire : it shall not be 
eaten, because it is holy. 

35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his 
sons, according to all things which I have command- 
ed thee : seven days shalt thou consecrate them. 

36 And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a 
sin-offering for x atonement : and thou shalt y cleanse 
the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, 
and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it. 

37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for 
the altar, and sanctify it ; and it shall be an altar 
z most holy : whatsoever a toucheth the altar shall be 
holy. 

38 IT Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon 
the altar ; two lambs of the first year, b day by day 
continually. 

39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning, 
and the other lamb thou shalt offer c at even : 

40 And with the one lamb a tenth-deal of flour 
mingled with d the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil ; 
and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink- 
offering. 

41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and 
shalt do thereto according to the meat-offering of the 
morning, and according to the drink-offering thereof, 
for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the 
Lord. 

' 42 This shall be a. e continual burnt-offering through- 
out your generations, at the f door of the tabernacle of 
the congregation, before the Lord ; where I will g meet 
you, to speak there unto thee. 

43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, 
and the tabernacle shall br sanctified h by my glory. 

44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation, and the altar: 1 will sanctify also both

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that

29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be

12 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep : for it is a

be put to death : for whosoever doeth any work therein, 
that soul shall be ' cut off from among his people. 

1 5 Six days may work be done ; but in the seventh

t^Heb. hok- ever (] oe th any work in the sabbath-day, he shall surely

16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the 
sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their

18 IT And he gave unto Moses, when he had made 
an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, 
two tables of testimony, tables of q stone, written with 
the r finger of God. 

CHAP. XXXII. 

1 The people, in the absence of Moses, cause Aaron to make 
a calf. 15 Moses cometh down with the tables: 19 He 
breaketh them: 20 He destroyeth the calf. 30 He prayeth 
for the people. 

ND when the people saw that Moses a delayed 
to come down out of the mount, the people ga- 
iviat. 24, 48. thcred themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto 
bch. 19, 16. him, b Up, make us c gods, which shall d go before us ;

2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the f golden 
ear-rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your 
sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

8 - which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 



4 And he received them at their hand, and fashion- 
ed it with a graving tool, after he had made it a 
h molten calf: and they said, These be 'thy gods, O 
Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 

5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before 
it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To- 
morrow is a k feast to the Lord. 

6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offer- 
ed burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings : and 
the people ' sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up 
to play. 

7 If And the Lord said unto Moses, m Go, get thee 
down ; for thy n people, which thou broughtest out of 
the land of Egypt, have ° corrupted themselves : 

8 They have p turned aside quickly out of the way 
which I commanded them : they have made them a 
molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacri- 
ficed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, 
which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 

9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this 
people, and, behold, it is a q stiff-necked people : 

10 Now therefore r let me alone, that my wrath 
may wax hot against them, and that I may consume 
them : and I will make of thee s a great nation. 

1 1 And Moses besought the Lord his God, and 
said, Lord, * why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy 
people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land 
of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand ? 

12 u Wherefore should the Egyptians speak and 
say, P'or mischief did he bring them out, to slay them 
in the mountains, and to consume them from the face 
of the earth ? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and x repent 
of this evil against thy people : 

13 y Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy 
servants, to whom thou swearest z by thine own self, 
and saidst unto them, a I will multiply your seed as 
the stars of heaven ; and all this land that I have 
spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall 
inherit il for ever. 

14 And the b LoRD repented of the evil which he 
thought to do unto his people. 

15 TT And Moses turned, and went down from the 
c mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in 
his hand : the tables were written on both their sides : 
on the one side and d on the other were they written. 

1 6 And the tables were the e work of God, and the 
writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. 

17 And when f Joshua heard the noise of the peo- 
ple as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a 
noise of war in the camp. 

1 8 And he said, 7/ is not the voice of them that 
shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that 
cry for being overcome ; but the noise of them that 
sing do I hear. 

19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh 
unto the carnp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing : 
and Moses' E anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables 
out of his hands, and h brake them benealh the mount. 

20 And he took the calf which they had made, and 
burnt it in the fire, and '' ground it to powder, and 
strewed it k upon the water, and made the children of 
Israel ' drink of it. 

21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this 
people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a 
sin upon them ? 

22 And Aaron said. Let not the anger of my lord 
wax hot : thou knowest the people, lhatHhey m are 
set on mischief.

23 For tliey said unto me, Make its gods which 
shall go before us : for as for this Moses, the man 
that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot 
not what is become of him. 

24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any 
gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me : then 
I cast it into the fire, and there n came out this calf. 

25 IT And when Moses saw that the people were 
"naked, (for Aaron had made them naked p unto their 
shame, among t their enemies,) 

26 Then Moses <• stood in the gate of the camp, 
and said, r Who is on the Lord's side 1 let him come 
unto me. And all the 9 sons of Levi gathered them- 
selves together unto him. 

27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, 
and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the 
camp, and * slay every man his brother, and every 
man his companion, and every man his neighbour. 

28 And the children of Levi did according to the 
word of Moses : and there fell of the people that day 
about u three thousand men. 

29 For Moses had said, x Consecrate yourselves 
to-day to the Lord, even every man upon his y son, 
and upon his brother ; that he may bestow upon you 
a blessing this day. 

30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses 
said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin : and 
now z I will go up unto the Lord ; a peradventure I 
shall make an b atonement for your sin. 

31 And Moses returned c unto the Lord, and said, 
Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made 
them gods of gold ; 

32 Yet now, d if thou wilt forgive their sin : and 
if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy * book which 
thou hast written. 

33 And the Lord said unto Moses, W 7 hosoever hath 
sinned against me, f him will I blot out of my book. 

34 Therefore now g go, lead the people unto the 
place of which I have spoken unto thee : behold, mine 
angel shall go before thee : nevertheless, in the day 
when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them. 

35 And the Lord plagued the people, because 
h they made the calf, which Aaron made. 

CHAP. XXXIII. 

1 The Lord refuseih to go, as he had promised, with the 
people. 9 The Lord talketh familiarly with Moses. 12 
Moses desireth to see the glory of God. 

AND the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, arid go 
up hence, thou and the people which thou hast 
brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land 
which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, laid to Jacob, 
saying, Unto thy a seed will I give it. 

2 And I will send b an angel before thee ; and I 
will drive out the c Canaanite, the Amorite, and the 
Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite : 

3 Unto a land flowing with d milk and honey : for 
I will e not go up in the midst of thee ; for thou art f a 
stiff-necked people ; lest I s consume thee in the way. 

4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they 
h mourned ; and no man did put on him his ornaments. 

5 For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the 
children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people « I 
will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and 
consume thee : therefore now ! put off thy ornaments 
from thee, that k I may know what to do unto thee. 

6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of 
their ornaments by the ' mount Horeb. 




7 IF And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it 
without the camp, afar m off from the camp, and 
called it, The Tabernacle of the Congregation. And 
it came to pass, that every one which sought the Lord 
went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, 
which was without the camp. 

8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto 
the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood 
every man n at his tent-door, and looked after Moses, 
until he was gone into the tabernacle. 

9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the 
tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at 
the door of the tabernacle, and ° the LORD talked 
with Moses. 

10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand 
at the tabernacle-door : and all the people rose up 
and p worshipped, every man in his tent-door. 

1 1 And the Lord spake unto Moses q face to face, 
as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned 
again into the camp : but his servant Joshua, the son 
of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the ta- 
bernacle. 

12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, r thou 
sayest unto me, Bring up this people : and thou hast 
not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet 
thou hast said, s I know thee by name, and thou hast 
also found grace in my sight. 

13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found 
grace in thy sight, shew me now ' ihy way, that I may 
know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight ; and 
consider that this nation is " thy people. 

1 4 And he said, x My presence shall go with thee, 
and I will give thee rest. 

15 And he said unto him, If y thy presence go not 
with me, carry us not up hence. 

1 6 For wherein shall it be known here that I and 
thy people have found grace in thy sight? Is it not in 
that thou goest with us ? So shall we be z separated, 
I and thy people, from all the people that are upon 
the face of the earth. 

17 And the Lord said unto Moses, a I will do this 
tiling also that thou hast spoken : for thou hast found 
grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 

1 8 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me b thy glory. 

1 9 And he said, I will make all my c goodness pass 
before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord 
before thee ; and will be gracious to whom I will be 
d gracious, and will shew e mercy on whom I will 
shew mercy. 

20 And he said, Thou f canst not see my face : for 
there shall no man see me g and live. 

21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by 
me, and thou shalt stand upon h a rock : 

22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory pass- 
eth by, that I will put thee in '' a cleft of the rock, and 
will cover k thee with * my hand while I pass by': 

23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt 
see my m back parts ; but my face shall a not be seen.

the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself 
there to me in the top of the mount. 

3 And no man e shall come up with thee, neither 
let any man be seen throughout all the mount ; nei- 
ther let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount. 

4 And he hewed two tables of stone, like unto the 
first : and Moses rose up early in the morning, and 
went up unto mount Sinai, as the Lord had com- 
manded him, and took in his hand the two tables of 
stone. 

5 IT And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood 
with him there, and f proclaimed the name of the 
Lord. 

6 And the Lord passed by before him, and pro- 
claimed, The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and 
gracious, g long-suffering, and abundant h in goodness 
and truth, 

7 Keeping mercy for ' thousands, k forgiving iniqui- 
ty and transgression and sin, and that will l by no 
means clear the guilty j visiting the iniquity of the 
fathers upon the children, and upon the children's 
children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 

8 And Moses made haste, and bowed m his head 
toward the earth, and worshipped. 

9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy 
sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, n go among 
us ; for it is a stiff-necked people ; and pardon our 
iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine ° inheritance. 

10 And He said, Behold, I make a covenant: be- 
fore all thy people I will do p marvels, such as have 
not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation : and 
all the people among which thou art shall see the 
work of the LoRr ; for it is q a terrible thing that I 
will do r with thee. ■ 

1 1 Observe thou that which s I command thee this 
day ; Behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and 
the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and 
the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 

1 2 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make * a cove- 
nant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou 
gocst, lest it be for u a snare in the midst of thee : 

- 13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their 
iinages, and cut down their x groves : 

(14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the 
Lord, whose name is Jealous, y is a jealous God : 

15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants 
of the land, and they go a z whoring after their gods, 
and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one a call thee, 
and thou eat of his sacrifice ; 

1 G And thou take of b their daughters unto thy sons, 
and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and 
make thy sons go a whoring after their gods. 

17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. 

1 8 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. 
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I 
commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib : for 
in the c month Abib thou earnest out from Egypt. 

1 9 All that d openeth the matrix is mine ; and 
every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, 
that is male. 

20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with 
e a lamb : and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou 
break his neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou 
shalt redeem : and none shall appear before me 
f empty. 

21 Six days thou shalt g work ; but on the seventh 
day thou shalt rest : in earing-time and in harvest 
thou shalt rest. 

I 



22 And thou shalt observe the feast h of weeks, of 
the first-fruits of wheat-harvest, and the feast of in- 
gathering at the year's end. 

23 Thrice in the year shall all your ' men-children 
appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel. 

24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and 
enlarge thy borders : neither shall any man k desire 
thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the 
Lord thy God thrice in the year. 

25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice 
with ' leaven ; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast 
of the passover be left_ unto the m morning. 

26 The first of n the first-fruits of thy land thou 
shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God. 
Thou shalt not seethe ° a kid in his mother's milk.) 

27 And the Lord said unto Moses, p Write tnou 
these words : for after the tenor of these words I have 
made a covenant with thee and with Israel. 

28 And he was there with the Lord || forty days 
and forty nights ; he did neither eat bread nor drink 
water. And q he wrote upon the tables the words of 
the covenant, the r ten commandments. 

29 If And it came to pass, when Moses came down 
from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in 
Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, 
that Moses wist not that the skin of his face s shone 
while He talked with him. 

30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel 
saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone : and 
they were * afraid to come nigh him. 

31 And Moses called u unto them ; and Aaron and 
all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him : 
and Moses talked with them. 

32 And afterward all the children of Israel came 
nigh : and he x gave them in commandment all that 
the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 

33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, 
he put y a vail on his face. 

34 But when Moses went in before the Lord, to 
speak with Him, he took the z vail off until he came 
out. And he came out, and spake unto the children 
of Israel that which he was commanded. 

35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Mo- 
ses, that the skin of Moses' face shone : and Moses 
a put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to 
speak with Him.

6 And Moses gave commandment, and they caused Philip. 2,21. 
it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let 
neither man nor woman make any more work for the 
offering of the sanctuary. So the people were g re- s Mai. 3, 8.

7 For the h stuff they had was sufficient for all the t Heb. 9, 1

8 IF And every wise-hearted man among them that 
wrought the work of the ' tabernacle, made ten cur-

them. 

9 The length of one curtain was twenty and eight

the curtains were all of one size. 

10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto an-

1 5 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and 
four cubits was the breadth of one curtain : the eleven 
curtains were of one size. 

16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and 
six curtains by themselves. 

1 7 And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge 
of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he 
upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the 
second. 

18 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the 
tent together, that it might be one. 

1 9 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' 
skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins 
above that. 

20 And he made boards for the tabernacle o/" q shit- 
tim-wood, standing up. 

21 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the 
breadth of a board one cubit and a half. 

22 One board had two t tenons, equally distant 
one from another : thus did he make for all the boards 
of the tabernacle. 

23 And he made boards for the tabernacle : twenty 
boards for the south side, southward. 

24 And forty sockets of silver he made under the 
twenty boards : two sockets under one board for his 
two tenons, and two sockets under another board for 
his two tenons. 

25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is 
toward the north corner, he made twenty boards, 

26 And their forty sockets of silver : two sockets un- 
der one board, and two sockets under another board. 

27 And for the sides of the tabernacle t westward 
he made six boards. 

28 And two boards made he for the corners of the 
tabernacle in the two sides. 

29 And they were t coupled beneath, and coupled 
together at the head thereof, to one ring : thus he did 
to both of them in both the corners. 

30 And there were eight boards ; and their sockets 
were sixteen sockets of silver, under T every board two 
sockets. 

31 And he made bars o/" shittim-wood : five for the 
boards of the one side of the tabernacle, 

32 And five bars for the boards of the other side of 
the r tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the 
tabernacle for the sides westward. 

33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through 
the boards from the one end to the other. 

34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made 
their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and over- 
laid the bars with gold. 

35 And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and 
scarlet, and fine twined linen : with cherubims made 
he it s of cunning work. 

36 And he made thereunto four l pillars o/"shittim- 
w,ood, and overlaid them with gold : their hooks were 
o/*gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver. 

37 And he made a hanging for the tabernacle- 
door, q/"blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined 
linen, of t needle-work ; 

38 And the five pillars of it, with their hooks : and 
he overlaid their t chapiters and their " fillets with

7 And he made two cherubims o/"gold, beaten out

mercy-seat ; 

8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another 
cherub on the other end on that side : out of the mercy- 
seat made he the cherubims, on the two ends thereof. 

9 And the cherubims h spread out their wings on hch.25, 19. 
high, and covered with their wings over the mercy- Psal - 80, 2 * 
seat, with their faces one to another ; even to the 
mercy-seat-ward were the faces of the cherubims. 

10 And he made the ' table of shittim-wood : two ich. 25, 23.

thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. 

1 1 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made 
thereunto a crown of gold round about. 

12 Also he made thereunto a border of a hand- 
breadth round about ; and made a crown of gold for 
the border thereof round about. 

1 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the 
rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet 
thereof. 

14 Over against the border were the rings, the 
places for the staves, to bear the table.

wood : the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth 
of it a cubit, (it was foursquare,) and two cubits was 
the height of it ; the horns thereof were of the same. 

26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the * top 
of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns 
of it : also he made unto it a crown of gold round 
about. 

27 And he made two rings of gold for it under the 
crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two 
sides thereof, to be places for the staves, to bear it 
withal. 

28 And he made the staves of shittim-wood, and 
overlaid them with gold. 

29 And he made the t holy anointing oil, and the 
pure u incense of sweet spices, according to the work 
of the apothecary. 

CHAP. XXXVIII. 

1 The altar of burnt-qfering. 8 The laver of brass. 
ND he made the a altar of burnt-offering of shit- 
tim-wood: five cubits was the length thereof, 

and five cubits the breadth thereof, {it was b four- 
square,) and three cubits the height thereof. 

2 And he made the c horns thereof on the four 
corners of it : the horns thereof were of the same : 
and he overlaid it with d brass. 

3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the 
pots, and the e shovels, and the basons, and the f flesh- 
hooks, and the fire-pans ; all the vessels thereof made 
he of brass. 

4 And he made for the altar s a brazen grate of net- 
work, under the compass thereof, beneath unto the 
midst of it. 

5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the 
h grate of brass, to be places for the staves. 

6 And he made ' the staves of k shittim-wood, and 
overlaid them with brass. 

7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides 
of the altar, to bear it withal : he made the altar 
hollow with boards. 

8 And he made the l laver of brass, and the foot 
of it of brass, of the m looking-glasses of the women 
t assembling, which assembled at the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation. 

9 And he made the court : on the south side south- 
ward, the hangings of the court were of fine twined 
linen, a hundred cubits : 

10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brazen sock- 
ets twenty : the hooks of the pillars and their fillets 
were of silver. 

11 And for the north side the hangings were a 
hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their 
sockets of brass twenty : the hooks of the pillars and 
their fillets of silver. 

1 2 And for the west side were hangings n of fifty 
cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the 
hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. 

1 3 And for the east side eastward, fifty cubits. 

1 4 The hangings of the ° one side of the gate were 
fifteen cubits ; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 

15 And for the other side of the court-gate, on this 
hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits ; 
their pillars three, and their sockets three. 

16 All the hangings of the court round about were 
of fine twined linen. 

1 7 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass ; 
the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver ; and 
the overlaying of their chapiters of silver : and all the 
pillars of the court were filleted with silver. 



The sum of the offerings. 




18 And the hanging for the gate of the court was 
needle-work, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 
fine twined linen ; and twenty cubits was the length, 
and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answer- 
able to the hangings of the couxt. 

19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of 
brass four ; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying 
of their chapiters and their fillets of silver. 

20 And all the || pins of the tabernacle, and of the 
court round about, were of brass. 

21 IT This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the 
tabernacle p of testimony, as it was counted, accord- ^*:'<si,' 20. 
ing to the commandment of Moses, for the service of pch.25,16 
the Levites, by the hand of q Ithamar, son to Aaron ^ ^ I 3 - 
the priest. Rev.'n, 19 

22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of % N «f 4 
the tribe of Judah, made r all that the Lord com- 
manded Moses. 

23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, 
of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and s a cunning 
workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, 
and in scarlet, and fine linen. 

24 All the gold that was occupied for the work, in 
all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the 
1 offering, was twenty and nine || talents and seven 
hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the 
sanctuary. 

25 And the silver of them that were numbered of Lit was 1;;:; 
the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thou- P°"? n . ds 
sand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, 
after the shekel of the sanctuary : 

26 || A bekah for t every man, that is, half a shekel, 
after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that 
went to be numbered, from twenty years old and up- 
ward, for u six hundred thousand and three thousand 
and five hundred and fifty men. 

27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast 
the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the *^ 2 37 
vail; a x hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a Num. 1,' 46 
talent for a socket. x ch - 26 ' 1S 

28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and 
five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid 
their chapiters, and filleted them. 

29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, 
and two thousand and four hundred shekels. 

30 And therewith he made the sockets to the dooi 
of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brazen 
altar, and the brazen grate for it, and all the vessels 
of the altar, 

31 And the sockets of the court round about, and 
the sockets of the court-gate, and all the pins of the 
tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

as the Lord commanded Moses. 

2 IF And he made the d ephod of gold, blue, and

3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and 
cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the 
purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with 
e cunning work.

upon it, was of the same, according to the work there- 
of; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine 
twined linen ; g as the Lord commanded Moses. 

6 And they wrought h onyx-stones inclosed in 
ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with 
' the names of the children of Israel. 

7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, 
that they should be stones for k a memorial to the 
children of Israel ; as the Lord commanded Moses. 

8 And he made the l breastplate of cunning work, 
like the work of the ephod; o/'gold, blue, and purple, 
and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 

9 It was foursquare: they made the breastplate 
double : a span was the length thereof, and a m span 
the breadth thereof, being doubled. 

10 And they set in it "four rows of stones: the 
first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle : 

this was the first row. 

1 1 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, 
and a diamond. 

1 2 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an 
amethyst. 

1 3 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a 
jasper : they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their 
inclosings. 

1 4 And the stones were ° according to the names 
of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their 
names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with 
his name, according to the twelve tribes. 

1 5 And they made upon the breastplate p chains 
at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold. 

1 G And they made two ouches of gold, and two 
i gold rings ; and put the two rings in the two ends of 
the breastplate. 

1 7 And they put the two r wreathen chains of gold 
in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. 

1 8 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains 
they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the 
shoulder-pieces of the s ephod before it. 

1 9 And they made two rings of gold, and put them 
on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border 
of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward. 

20 And they made two other golden rings, and put 
them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward 
the forepart of it, over against the other * coupling 
thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod. 

21 And they did bind the breastplate by his rings 
unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that 
it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and 
that the breastplate might not be loosed from the 
ephod : u as the Lord commanded Moses. 

22 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven 
work, all of blue. 

23 And there was a hole in the midst of the robe, 
as the hole of a habergeon, with a band round about 
the hole, that it should not rend. 

24 And they made upon the hems of the robe 
pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 
x twmed linen. 

25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the 
y bells between the pomegranates, upon the hem of 
the robe, round about between the pomegranates; 

26 A bell and a z pomegranate, a bell and a pome- 
granate, round about the hem of the robe to minister 
in ; as the Lord commanded Moses.

30 And they made the plate of the d holy crown of <3ch.2s,36 
pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the

31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten

Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even 
of the nerd, and of the d flock. 

3 If his offering be a e burnt-sacrifice of the herd, 
let him offer a male without f blemish : he shall offer 
it of his own g voluntary will, at h the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation, ' before the Lord. 

4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the 
burnt-offering ; and it shall be accepted for him, k to

CHAP. V. 

14 The trespass-offering in sacrilege, 17 and in sins of 
ignorance. 

ND if a a soul sin, and hear the voice of b swear- 
ing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or 
known of it ; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear 
his iniquity : 

2 Or if a soul touch any c unclean thing, whether 
it be a '' carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of 
unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping 
things, and if it be hidden from him ; he also shall be 
e unclean, and guilty: 

3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, f whatso- 
ever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled 
withal, and it be hid from him ; when he knoweth of 
it, then he shall be guilty : 

4 Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips E to 
do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man 
shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; 
when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one 
of these. 

5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of 
these things, that he shall h confess that he hath 
sinned in that thing. 

6 And he shall bring his ' trespass-offering unto the 
Lord, for his sin which he hath sinned, k a female 
from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin- 
offering ; and the priest shall make an atonement for 
him concerning his sin. 

7 And if he be t not able to bring a lamb, then he 
shall bring, for his trespass which he hath committed, 
two turtle-doves, or two 'young pigeons, unto the 
Lord ; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt- 
offering. 

8 And he shall bring them unto the priest, who 
shall offer that which is for the sin-offering ""first, and 
wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide 
if asunder : 

9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin- 
offering n upon the side of the altar ; and the rest of 
the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the 
altar: it is a sin-offering. 

1 And he shall offer the second for a burnt-offer- 
ing, according to the manner : and the priest shall 
make ° an atonement for him, for his sin wliich he 
hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him. 

1 1 But if he be not able to bring two turtle-doves, 
or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring 
for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour, 
for a sin-offering : he shall put p no oil upon it, neither 
shall he put any frankincense thereon ; for it is a sin- 
offering. 

12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the 
priest shall take his handful of it, even q a memorial 
thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the 
offerings r made by fire unto the Lord : it is a sin- 
offering. 

13 And the 8 priest shall make an atonement for 
him, as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of 
these, and it shall be forgiven him : and the remnant 
shall be me priest's, as a meat-offering. 

14 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin l through 
ignorance, in the u holy things of the Lord ; then he 
shall bring, for * his trespass unto the Lord, a ram

tuary, for a trespass-offering -.

6 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: 
it shall be eaten in the holy place : it is most holy. 

7 As the t sin-offering is, so is the trespass-offering : 
there is one law for them : the priest that maketh 
atonement therewith shall have it. 

8 And the priest that offereth any man's burnt- 
offering, even the priest shall have to himself the g skin 
of the burnt-offering which he hath offered. 

9 And all the meat-offering that is baken in the

10 And every meat-offering, mingled k with oil,

12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall 
offer with the m sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened

peace-offerings. 

15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offer-

that it is offered ; he shall not leave any of it until the 
morning. 

16 But if the sacrifice of his offering be a s vow, or 
a * voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day 
that he offereth his sacrifice : and on the morrow also 
the remainder of it shall be eaten : 

1 7 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice 
on the " third clay shall be burnt with fire. 

1 8 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his 
peace-offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it 
shall x not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed 
unto him that offereth it : it shall be an y abomination, 
and the soul that eateth of it shall z bear his iniquity. 

19 And the flesh that a toucheth any unclean thing 
shall not be eaten ; it shall be burnt with fire : and as 
for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof. 

20 But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacri- 
fice of peace-offerings that pertain unto the Lord, 
having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall 
be cut off from his people. 

21 Moreover; the soul that shall touch any unclean 
thing, as the uncleanness of b man, or any unclean 
beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of 
the flesh of the sacrifice of c peace-offerings which

27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of

28 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

29 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He 
that offereth the sacrifice of his peace-offerings unto 
the Lord, shall bring his oblation unto the Lord of the 
sacrifice of his peace-offerings. 

30 h His own hands shall bring the offerings of the 
Lord made by fire ; the fat with the breast, it shall he 
bring, that the breast may be ' waved for a wave-

31 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar ; 
but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons 1 .

priest for k a heave-offering of the sacrifices of your 
peace-offerings. 

33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the 
blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, shall have 
1 the right shoulder for his part. 

34 For the wave-breast and the heave-shoulder 
have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sa- 
crifices of their peace-offerings, and have given them 
unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons, by a statute 
m for ever from among the children of Israel. 

35 This is the portion of the n anointing of Aaron, 
and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of 
the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented 
them to minister unto the Lord in the priest's office ; 

36 Which the Lord commanded to be given them 
of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed 
them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations. 

37 This is the law of the burnt-offering, of the 
meat-offering, and of the sin-offering, and of the tres- 
pass-offering, and of the ° consecrations, and of the 
sacrifice of the peace-offerings ; 

38 Which the Lord commanded Moses in p mount 
Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of 
Israel to offer their q oblations unto the Lord, in the 
wilderness of Sinai.

it was a burnt-sacrifice for °a sweet savour, and an bGen.8,20.

29 And ' Moses took the breast, and waved it for 
a wave-offering before the Lord : for of the rain of 
consecration it was Moses' k part ; as the Lord com-

30 And Moses took of the ' anointing oil, and of the

Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and 
upon his sons' garments with him ; and sanctified 
Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' 
garments with him. 

31 And Moses said unto Aaron, and to his sons, 
Boil the flesh m at the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation ; and there eat it with the bread that is 
in the basket of consecrations, as n I commanded, 
saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 

32 And that which ° remaineth of the flesh and of 
the bread shall ye burn with fire. 

33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation in p seven days, until the 
days of your consecration be at an end : for seven 
days shall he consecrate you. 

34 As he hath done this day, so the Lord hath 
commanded to do, to make an atonement q for you. 

35 Therefore shall ye r abide at the door of the ta- 
bernacle of the congregation day and night, seven 
days, and keep s the charge of the Lord, that ye die 
not : for so I am commanded. 

36 So Aaron and his sons did * all things which the

3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, 
saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin-offering ; 
and a calf, and a lamb, both of the first year, without 
blemish, for a burnt-offering ; 

4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings, to 
sacrifice before the Lord ; and e a meat-offering min- 
gled with oil : for to-day the Lord will f appear unto 
you. 

5 And they brought that which Moses commanded 
before the tabernacle of the congregation : and all 
the congregation drew near, and stood before the 
Lord. 

6 And Moses said, This is the thing which the 
Lord commanded that ye should do ; and the s glory 
of the Lord shall appear unto you. 

7 And Moses said unto Aaron, h Go unto the altar, 
and offer thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and 
make an atonement ' for thyself and for the people : 
and offer the offering of the people, and make an 
atonement for them ; as the Lord commanded. 

8 Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew 
the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself. 

9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto 
him ; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it 
upon the k horns of the altar, and poured out the blood 
at the bottom of the altar. 

10 But the 'fat, and the kidneys, and the caul 



above the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the 
altar ; as the Lord commanded Moses. 

1 1 And the flesh and the w hide he burnt with fire- 
without the camp. 

12 And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron's 
sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled 
round about upon the altar. 

1 3 And they presented the burnt-offering unto him, 
with the n pieces thereof, and the head ; and he burnt 
them upon the altar. 

14 And he did ° wash the inwards and the legs, and 
burnt them upon the burnt-offering on the altar. 

1 5 And he brought the people's offering, and took 
the goat, which was the sin-offering for the people, 
and slew it, and offered it p for sin, as the first. 

1 6 And he brought the burnt-offering, and offered 
it according to the q manner. 

17 And he brought the meat-offering, and T took a 
handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside 
the burnt-sacrifice of the s morning. 

1 8 He slew also the bullock and the ram, for a 
sacrifice of peace-offerings, which was for the people : 
and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which 
he l sprinkled upon the altar round about, 

1 9 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the 
11 rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the 
kidneys, and the caul above the liver : 

20 And they put the x fat upon the breasts, and he 
burnt the fat upon the altar : 

2 1 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron 
waved for y a wave-offering before the Lord ; as 
Moses commanded. 

22 And Aaron lift z up his hand towards the peo- 
ple, and a blessed them ; and b came down c from of- 
fering of the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and 
peace-offerings. 

23 And Moses and Aaron d went into the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, and came out, and e blessed 
the people : and the f glory of the Lord appeared 
unto all the people. 

24 And there came a fire out from before g the 
Lord, and h consumed upon the altar the burnt-offer- 
ing and the fat : which when all the people saw, they 
1 shouted, and fell on their faces. 

CHAP. X. 

1 Kadab and Abihu, for offering of strange fire, are burnt 
by fire. 8 The priests are forbidden wine when they are 
to go into the tabernacle. 

ND a Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aarcn, took 
either of them his b censer, and put fire therein, 
and put incense thereon, and c offered strange fire 
before the Lord, which he commanded them not. 

2 And there went d out fire from the Lord, and 
e devoured them ; and they died f before the Lord. 

3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the 
Lord spake, saying, I will be E sanctified in them that 
come h nigh me, and before all the people I will be 
' glorified. And Aaron k held his peace. 

4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the 
sons of Uzziel the ' uncle of Aaron, and said unto 
them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the 
sanctuary m out of the camp. 

5 So they went near, and carried them in their 
coats out of the camp ; as Moses had said. 

6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar, 
and unto Ithamar, his sons, " Uncover not your heads, 
neither rend your clothes ; lest you die, and lest wrath

The law of eating the holy things CHAP 

whole house of Israel, bewail the p burning which the 
Lord hath kindled. 

7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the ta- 
bernacle of the congregation, lest you die : for the 
q anointing oil of the Lord is upon you. And they 
did according to the word of Moses. 

8 IT And the Lord spake unto Aaron, saying, 

9 Do not drink wine, nor strong t drink, thou, nor 
thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of 
the congregation, lest ye die : it shall be a statute for 

mt'™ v be ever throughout your generations ; 

10 And that ye may r put difference between holy 
and unholy, and between unclean and clean ; 

1 1 And that ye may teach the children of Israel 
a all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto 
them by the hand of Moses. 

12 IT And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto 
Eleazar, and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, 
Take the *■ meat-offering that remaineth of the offer- 
ings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without 
leaven beside the altar ; for it is most holy. 

1 3 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it 
is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the 
Lord made by fire : for so I am commanded. 

1 4 And the wave-breast and heave-shoulder shall 
ye eat in a clean place ; thou, and thy sons, and thy 
daughters with thee : for they be thy due, and thy 
sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifice of 
peace-offerings of the children of Israel. 

15 The heave-shoulder and the wave-breast shall 
tliey bring, with the offerings made by fire of the fat, 
to wave it for a wave-offering before the Lord ; and 
it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by u a statute 
for ever ; as the Lord hath commanded. 

16 H And Moses x diligently sought the goat of the 
sin-offering, and, behold, it was burnt : and he was 
angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron 
which were left alive, saying, 

1 7 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in 
the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath 
given it you y to bear the iniquity of the congregation, 
to make atonement for them before the Lord ? 

1 8 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within 
the z holy place : ye should indeed have eaten it in the 
holy place, as I commanded. 

1 9 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day 
have they offered their sin-offering and their burnt- 
offering before the Lord ; and such things have be- 
fallen me : and if I had eaten the sin-offering to-day, 
should it have been a accepted in the sight of the 
Lord ? 

20 And when Moses heard that, b he was content.

are the beasts which ye shall c eat among d all the 
beasts that are on the earth. 

3 Whatsoever partem the hoof, and is "cloven- 
footed, and f cheweth the cud among the beasts, that 
shall ye eat. 

4 Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat, of them that 
chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as

not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase

Creeping tilings which are unclean* 

31 These are unclean to you among all that creep : 
whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall 
be unclean until the even. 

32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they 
are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean ; whether it be 
any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, 
whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it 

Ezek. 36, must be put into r water, and it shall be unclean until 
the even ; so it shall be cleansed. 

33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them 
falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean ; and ye 
shall break it. 

34 Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which 
such water cometh shall be unclean : and all drink 
that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 

35 And every tiling whereupon any part of their 
carcase falleth shall be unclean ; whether it be s oven, 
or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down : for they 
are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. 

36 Nevertheless, a fountain or pit, wherein there 
is plenty of water, shall be clean : but that which 
toucheth their carcase shall be unclean. 

37 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any 
1 sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 

38 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any 
part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean 
unto you. 

39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die ; 
he that u toucheth the x carcase thereof shall be unclean 
until the y even. 

40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall

also that beareth the carcase of it shall l wash his

4 1 And every a creeping thing that creepeth upon

42 Whatsoever goeth upon the b belly, and what- 
soever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath c more 
feet among all creeping things that creep upon the 
earth, them ye shall not eat ; for they are an abo 
mination. 

43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with 
any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make 
yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be 
defiled thereby. 

44 For A \ani the Lord your God : ye shall there- 
fore e sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy ; for I 
am holy ; neither shall ye defile yourselves with any 
manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 

45 For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of 
the land of Egypt, to be f your God : ye shall there- 
fore be holy, for s I am holy. 

46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, 
and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, 
and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth ; 

47 To h make a difference between the unclean and 
the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten 
and the beast that may not be eaten.

21 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there 
be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than 
the skin, but be somewhat dark, then the priest shall 
shut him up seven days : 

22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then 
the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is a piague.

28 And if the bright spot stay in his place, and

33 IF And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto 
Aaron, saying,

which 7 I give to you for a possession, and I z put the 
plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your pos- 
session ; 

35 And he that owneth the house shall come, and 
tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it 
were a plague in the house ; 

36 Then the priest shall command that they empty 
the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, 
that all that is in the house a be not made unclean ; 
and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house : 

37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, 
if the plague be in b the walls of the house, with hol- 
low strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are 
lower than the wall ; 

3-8 Then the priest shall go out of the house, to the 
door of the house, and shut up the house seven days : 

39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, 
and shall look : and, behold, if the plague be spread 
in the walls of the house, 

40 Then the priest shall command that they take 
away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall 
cast them into an unclean place without the city : 

41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped with- 
in round about, and they shall pour out the dust that 
they scrape off without the city, into an unclean place : 

42 And they shall take other stones, and put them 
in the place of those stones ; and he shall take other 
mortar, and shall plaster the house. 

43 And if the plague come again, and break out in 
the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, 
and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is 
plastered ; • 

41 Then the priest shall come and look, and, be- 
c «h. is, 51. hold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a c fret- 
ting leprosy in the house : it is unclean. 

45 And he shall d break down the house, the stones 
of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the 
house ; and he shall carry them forth out of the city, 
into an unclean place. 

46 Moreover, he that e goeth into the house, all the 
while that it is shut up, shall be unclean until the even. 

47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his 
clothes ; and he that f eateth in the house shall wash 
his clothes. 

48 And if the priest shall come in, and look upon 
it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the 
house, after the house was plastered ; then the priest

This is the thing which the Lord a hath commanded, 
saying, 

3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel 
that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or 
that killeth it out of the camp, 

4 And bringeth it not unto the b door of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto 
the Lord, c before the tabernacle of the Lord, blood 
shall be imputed unto that man ; he hath shed d blood ; 
and that man shall be e cut off from among his 
people : 

5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring 
their sacrifices, which they offer in the f open field, 
even that they may bring them unto the Lord, unto 
s the door of the tabernacle of the congregation unto j h n 4, 21! 
the priest, and offer them for peace-offerings unto the s ch - 8 . 3 - 
Lord. 

6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the 
altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of 

the congregation, and burn the fat for h a sweet savour b.Gen.8,21. 
unto the Lord. 

7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto 
' devils, after whom they k have gone ' a whoring. 
This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout 
their generations. 

8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man 
there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers 
which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt-offer- 
ing or m sacrifice, 

9 And bringeth it not unto the n door of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord, | 5 z ' r ^ 3 3 4 
even that man shall be cut off from among his people. 

1 If And whatsoever man there be of the house of 
Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, 

that eateth any manner of ° blood, I. will even set my ° <*. 7, 26. 
face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut 
him off from among his people. 

1 1 For the p life of the flesh is in the blood ; and 
q I have given it to you upon the altar, to make an 
atonement for your souls : for r it is the blood that 
maketh an atonement for the soul. 

1 2 s Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, 
No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any 
stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 

13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of 
Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, 

which l hunteth, and catcheth any beast or fowl that tGen.27,3 
may be eaten ; he shall even " pour out the blood 
thereof, and x cover it with dust. 

14 For it is the life of all flesh ; the blood of it is 
for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children 
of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of y no manner of >• ch. 7, 2t> 
flesh : for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof; 
whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. 

1 5 And every soul that eateth that which z died of 
itself or that which was a torn with beasts, whether it 
be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall 
both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and 
be unclean until the b even; then shall he be clean. 

16 But if he wash Mew not, nor bathe his flesh, 
then he shall bear his iniquity.

14 Thou shalt l not curse the deaf, nor u put a

16 Thou shalt not go up and down as z a tale-

1 8 Thou shalt c not avenge, nor bear any d grudge

A repetition of sundry laws. 

19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let 
thy e cattle gender with a diverse kind. Thou shalt 
not sow thy field with mingled seed ; neither shall a 
garment mingled of linen and f woollen come upon 
thee. 

20 And whosoever lieth g carnally with a woman 
that is a bondmaid, betrothed to a husband, and not 
at all redeemed, nor freedom given her, she shall be 
scourged : they shall not be put to death, because she 
was h not free. 

21 And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto the 
Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congre- 
gation, even a ram for a trespass-offering. 

22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him, 
with the ram of the trespass-offering, before the Lord, 
for his sin which he hath done : and the sin which he 
hath done shall be forgiven him. 

23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall 
have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye 
shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised : three 
years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you ; it shall 
not be eaten of. 

24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall 
be ' holy, to praise the Lord withal. 

25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit 
thereof, that it may yield unto you the k increase there- 
of : I am the Lord your God. 

26 Ye shall not eat any thing ' with the blood ; 
neither shall ye use m enchantment, nor n observe 
times. 

27 Ye shall not ° round the corners of your heads, 
neither shalt thou p mar the corners of thy beard. 

28 Ye shall not make any q cuttings in your flesh 
for the r dead, nor s print any marks upon you : I am 
the Lord. 

29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to 
be l a whore ; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the 
land become full of wickedness. 

30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and " reverence my 
sanctuary : I am the Lord. 

31 Regard not them that have K familiar spirits, 
neither seek after y wizards, to be defiled by them : I 
am the Lord your God. 

32 Thou shalt rise up before the z hoary head, and 
honour the face of the "old man, and fear thy God : 
I am the Lord. 

33 And if b a stranger sojourn with thee in your 
land, ye shall not vex him. 

34 Ihd the stranger that dwelled] with you shall 
be unto you c as one born among you, and thou shalt 
love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land 
of Egypt : I am the Lord your God. 

35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in 
d mete-yard, in weight, or in measure. 

36 e Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and 
a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, 
which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of 
thy seed in their generations that hath any x blemish, 
let him not approach to offer the bread of his God : 

1 8 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, 
he shall not approach : y a blind man, or a z lame, or 
he that hath a a flat nose, or any thing b superfluous, 

1 9 Or a man that is c broken-footed, or (i broken- 
handed, 

20 Or e crook-backt, or a f dwarf, or that hath a 
g blemish in his eye, or be h scurvy or ' scabbed, or 
hath his stones broken : 

21 No man that hath a k blemish of the seed of 
Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings 
of the Lord made by fire : he hath a blemish ; he shall 
not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. 

22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the 
most holy, and of the holy ; 

23 Only he shall not go in unto the ' vail, nor come 
nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish ; that 
he profane not my sanctuaries : for I the Lord do 
sanctify them. 

24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, 
and unto all the children of Israel. 

CHAP. XXII. 

The priests in their uncleanness must abstain from the holy 
things. 
ND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they 
a separate themselves from the holy things of the chil- 
dren of Israel, and that they profane not my b holy 
name in those things which they c hallow unto me : I 
am the Lord. 

3 Say unto them, whosoever he be of all your seed, 
among your generations, that goeth unto the ,J holy 
things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the 
Lord, having his e uncleanness upon him, that soul 
shall be cut off from my presence : 1 am the Lord. 

' 4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, 
or hath a f running issue, he shall not eat of the holy 
things until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any 
thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose 
6 seed goeth from him ; 

5 Or whosoever toucheth any h creeping thing, 
whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom 
he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he 
hath ; 

6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be 
unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy 
things, unless he ' wash his flesh with water. 

7 And when the sun is down he shall be clean, and 
shall afterward eat of the holy things, because it is his 
k food. 

8 That which dieth of itself, or is ' torn with beasts, 
he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith : I am the 
Lord. 

9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest 
they bear m sin for it, and n die therefore, if they pro- 
fane it : I the Lord do sanctify them. 

10 IF There shall ° no stranger eat of the holy thing: 
a sojourner of the priest's, or a hired servant, shall 
not eat of the holy thing. 

1 1 But if the priest buy any p soul with his money, 
he shall ■» eat of it, and he that is born in his house ; 
they shall eat of his meat. 

1 2 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a 
stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy 
things.

29 And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled

30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a

throughout his generations : it shall not go out in the 
jubilee. 

31 But the houses of the villages which have no 
walls round about them shall be counted as the fields 
of the country ; they may be redeemed, and they 
shall go out in the jubilee. 

32 Notwithstanding, the cities of the Levites, and 
the houses of the cities of their possession, may the 
Levites redeem at any time. 

33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the 
house that was sold, and the city of his possession, 
shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of 
the cities of the Levites are their possession among

a \v.h. 5, s. * redeem him; or, if he be able, he may redeem himself. 

50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him 
from the year that he was sold to him unto the year 
of jubilee : and the price of his sale shall be aecord- 

+ He!i. days J n g U nto the number of years ; according to the I time 
, ',,'," of a hired servant shall it be with him. 

51 If there be yet many years behind, according 
unto them he shall give again the price of his redemp- 
tion out of the money that he was bought for. 

52 And if there remain but few years unto the 
year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and ac- 
cording unto his years shall he give him again the 
price of his redemption. 

5.3 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with 
him : and the other shall not rule with rigour over him 
in thy sight. 

54 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then 
i..'..hi,»,3i. he shall go out in the year b of jubilee, both he, and

29 And ye shall eat the a flesh of your sons, and 
the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 

30 And I will destroy your high places and cut 
down your images, and b cast your carcases upon the 
carcases of your idols, and c my soul shall abhor you. 

31 And I will make your d cities waste, and bring 
your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell 
the savour of your sweet odours. 

32 And I will bring the land into e desolation ; and 
your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished 
at it. 

33 And I will f scatter you among the heathen, and 
will draw out a sword after you ; and your land shall 
be desolate, and your cities waste. 

34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long 
as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land ; 
even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. 

35 As long as it lieth desolate it s shall rest ; because 
it did h not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 

36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will 
send ' a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their 
enemies ; and the sound of a k shaken leaf shall chase 
them ; and they shall flee, ' as fleeing from a sword ; 
and they shall fall when none pursueth. 

37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were 
before a sword, when none pursueth : and ye shall 
have no power to stand before your enemies. 

38 And ye shall m perish among the heathen, and 
the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 

39 And they that are left of you shall n pine away 
in their iniquity in your enemies' lands ; and also in 
the iniquities of their ° fathers shall they pine away 
with them. 

40 If they shall p confess their iniquity, and the 
iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they 
trespassed against me, and that also they have walked 
contrary unto me ; 

41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, 
and have brought them into the land of their enemies ; 
if then their q uncircumcised hearts be r humbled, and 
they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity; 

42 Then will I s remember my covenant l with Ja- 
Job 40, 12. co |^ ant | a i so m y covenant with Isaac, and also my 
Deui. 4,°3i! covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will 
t Dan. 9,20. remember " the land. 

43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall 
enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate, without 
them : and they shall accept of the punishment of their 
iniquity ; x because, even because they despised my 
judgments, and because their soul abhorred mystatutes, 

44 And yet for all that, when they be in the y land 
of their enemies, f will not cast them away, neither 
will I abhor them, to 'destroy them utterly, and to 
break my covenant with them : for I am the Lord 
a their God. 

45 But I will h for their sakes remember the cove- 
nant of their c ancestors, whom [ brought forth out of

Concerning vows, and their redemption. 

unto them, When a man shall make a singular a vow, 
the b persons shall be for c the Lord by thy estimation. 

3 And thy estimation shall be, of the male, from 
twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy 
estimation shall be d fifty shekels of silver, after the 
shekel of the e sanctuary. 

4 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall 
be f thirty shekels. 

5 And if it be from E five years old even unto twenty 
years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male 
twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 

6 And if it be from ]1 a month old even unto five 
years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male 
five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estima- 
tion shall be three shekels of silver. 

7 And if it be from sixty years old and above ; if it 
be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, 
and for the female ten shekels. 

8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he 
shall present himself before the priest, and the priest 
shall value him ; according to his ' ability that vowed 
shall the priest value him. 

9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offer- 
ing unto the Lord, all that any man giveth of such 
unto the Lord shall be holy. 

10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for 
a bad, or a bad for a good : and if he shall at all 
change beast for beast, then it and the exchange 
thereof shall be holy. 

1 1 And if it be any k unclean beast, of which they 
do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, then he shall 
present the beast before the priest : 

12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good 
or bad : as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall 
it be. 

13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall odd 
1 a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation. 

1 4 And when a man shall m sanctify his house to be fJ'A' s 
holy unto the Lord, then the priest shall estimate it, m Gen.2 
whether it be good or bad : as the priest shall estimate 

it, so shall it stand. 

15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his 
house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money 
of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his. 

1 ft And if a man shall sanctify " unto the Lord some 
part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation 
shall be according to the seed thereof: a || homer of 
barlev seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 

17 If he sanctify his field from " the year of jubilee, 
according to thy estimation it shall stand. 

1 8 But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then 
tin- priest shall reckon unto him the money according j^';,:^!";, 
to the years thai remain, even unto the year of the Hosea 3, 2 
f jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation. 

19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any 
wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the 
money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be as- 
sured to him. 

20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have 
sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed 
any more ; 

21 But the *' field, when it 
shall be holy unto the Lord, as t a 
possession thereof shall be the priest's.

when they offered strange fire before the Lord in the 
wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children : and 
Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office 
in the e sight of Aaron their father.

before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto 
Mm. 

7 And the}^ shall keep his f charge, and the charge 
of the g whole congregation before the tabernacle of

29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch

30 And the chief of the house of the father of the

of Uzziel. 

31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, 
and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels 
of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the 
hanging, and all the service thereof. 

32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall 
be chief over the chief of the ' Levites, and have the 
k oversight of them that keep the charge of the 
sanctuary. 

33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and

thousand. 

40 H And the Lord said unto Moses, ' Number all 
the first-born of the males of the children of Israel, 
from a month old and upward, and take the number

41 And thou shalt take the Levites " for me (I am 
the Lord) instead of all the first-born among the chil- 
dren of Israel ; and the cattle of the Levites instead 
of all tlie firstlings among the cattle of the children of 
Israel. 

42 And Moses numbered, as the Lord commanded 
him, all the first-born among the children of Israel. 

43 And all the first-born males, by the number of 
names, from a month old and upward, of those that 
were numbered of them, were x twenty and two thou- 
sand two hundred and threescore and thirteen. 

44 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

45 Take the Levites y instead of all the first-born 
among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Le- 
vites instead of their cattle ; and the Levites shall be 
mine : 1 am the Lord. 

46 And for *hose that are to be redeemed of the 
two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the first- 



/hich 



are more than 



born of the children of Israel 
the Levites ; 

47 Thou shalt even take z five shekels apiece by the 
poll ; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take 
them : (the shekel is twenty a gerahs :) 

48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the 
odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron 
and to his sons. 

49 And Moses took the b redemption-money of them 
that were over and above them that were redeemed 
by the Levites : 

50 Of the first-born of the children of Israel took 
he the money ; a thousand three hundred and three- 
score and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary : 

51 And Moses c gave the money of them that were

do a trespass against the Lord, and that person be 
guilty; 

7 Then they shall ' confess their sin which they 
have done : and he shall recompense his trespass with 
the principal thereof, and add unto it the k fifth part 
thereof, and give it ' unto him against whom he hath

8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense 
the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed 
unto the Lord, even to the priest ; besides the m ram of 
the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made 
for him. 

9 And every n offering of ° all the holy things of the 
children of Israel, which they bring p unto the priest, 
shall be his.

and she be defiled, and there be " no witness against 
her, neither she be taken with the manner ; 

14 And the x spirit of y jealousy come upon him,

if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be 
jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled ; 

15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the 
z priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the 
a tenth part of an ephah of b barley meal ; he shall 
pour no c oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon ;

23 And the priest shall write these curses in r a 
book, and he shall 8 blot them out with the bitter 
water : 

24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bit- 
ter water that causeth the curse : and the water that isa.39,_i. 
causeth the curse shall enter into her 
bitter. 

25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy-offering 
out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering 
before the Lord, and oner it upon the altar: 

26 And the priest shall take a handful of the offer- 
ing, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the 
altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink 
the water. 

27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, 
then it shall come to pass, that if she be defiled, and 
have done trespass against her husband, that the water 
that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become 
bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh l shall 
rot : and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 

28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean ; 
then she shall be free, and shall t conceive seed. 

29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth 
aside to t another instead of her husband, and is de- 
filed ; 

30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cornel h upon 
him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the u^er'h

2 The law of the Nazarite. 24 The form of blessing the 
people. 
ND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say 
unto them, When either man or woman shall a sepa- 
rate themselves to b vow a vow of a c Nazarite, to 
separate themselves d unto the Lord ; 

3 He shall separate himself from e wine, and 
f strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or Lam. 4, 7. 
vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any Amos 2,11 
liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. 

4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing 
that is made of the E vine-tree, from the b kernels even 
to the husk. 

5 All the clays of the vow of his separation there 
shall no ' razor come upon his head : until the days 
be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto 
the Lord, he shall be holy, and shall let the k locks of h 1 Tim. 5 
the hair of his head grow. ?*y 

6 All the days that he separateth himself unto the 23.' c 
Lord he shall come at no ' dead body. xi'sa^V^o 

7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, ] 1, Tiro! 5, 
or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when 
they die ; because the consecration of his God is upon 
his head. 

8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto the 
Lord. 

9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and 
he hath defiled the head of his consecration ; then he 
shall m shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on m Phil 3,8 
the seventh day shall he shave it. 

10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two tur- 
tles, or two n young pigeons, to the priest, to the door nL 
of the tabernacle of the eon<iregation :

and shall hallow his head that same day. 

1 2 And he shall p consecrate unto the Lord the 
days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the 
first year for a trespass-offering : but the days that 
were before shall be q lost, because his separation 
was defiled. 

1 3 And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the 
days of his separation are fulfilled : he shall be 
r brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation ; 

14 And he shall offer his offering unto the Lord, 
one he-lamb of the first year without blemish for a 
burnt-offering, and one ewe-lamb of the first year 
without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram with- 
out blemish for s peace-offerings, 

15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of 
fine flour mingled with oil, and * wafers of unleaven- 
ed bread anointed with oil, and their meat-offering, 
and u their drink-offerings. 

1 6 And the x priest shall bring them before the 
Lord, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt- 
offering. 

1 7 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of 
peace-offerings unto the Lord, with the basket of un- 
leavened bread : the priest shall offer also his y meat- 
offering, and his drink-offering. 

1 8 And the Nazarite shall z shave the head of his 
separation at the door of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation ; and shall take the hair of the head of 
his separation, and put it in the a fire which is b under 
the sacrifice of the peace-offerings. 

1 9 And the priest shall take the c sodden shoulder 
of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the bas- 
ket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them 
upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his 
separation is shaven : 

20 And the priest shall d wave them for a wave- 
offering before the Lord : this is holy for the priest, 
with the wave-breast and heave-shoulder : and after 
that the Nazarite may drink wine. 

21 This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, 
e Ps. 5, 7. & and of his offering unto the Lord e for his separation, 

besides that that his hand shall get : according to the 
vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of 
his separation. 

22 TT And the Lord f spake unto Moses, saying, 

23 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his g sons, saying, 
On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, say- 
ing unto them, 

24 The Lord h bless thee, and ' keep thee ; 

25 The Lord k make his face shine upon thee, and 
be ' gracious unto thee ; 

26 The Lord m lift up his countenance upon thee, 
and give thee D peace. 

27 And they shall put my name upon the children 
of Israel, and ° I will bless them.

ND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When 

thou a lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give 

light over against the candlestick. 

3 And Aaron did so ; he lighted the lamps thereof 
over against the candlestick, as the Lord commanded 
Moses. 

4 And this work of the b candlestick was q/"beaten 
gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, 
was beaten work : according unto the c pattern which 
the Lord had shewed Moses, so he made the candle- 
stick. 

5 H And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

6 Take the d Levites from e among the children of 
Israel, and f cleanse them. 

7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse 
them : Sprinkle t water of purifying upon them, and 
let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their 
g clothes, and so make themselves clean. 

8 Then let them take a young bullock with his 
meat-offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and 
another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin- 
offering. 

9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the taber- 
nacle of the congregation : and thou shalt gather the 
whole assembly of the children of Israel together : 

1 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord : 
and the b children of Israel shall ' put their hands upon 
the Levites : 

1 1 And Aaron shall k offer the Levites before the 
Lord for an ' offering of the children of Israel, that 
they may m execute the service of the Lord. 

12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the 
heads of the bullocks : and thou shalt offer the one 
for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, 
unto the Lord, to make n an atonement for the Levites. 

1 3 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, 
and before his sons, and offer them for an offering 
unto the Lord. 

1 4 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among 
the children of Israel : and the Levites shall ° be mine. 

15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the

A cloud guideth the Israelites i CHAF 

7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by 
the dead body of a man : wherefore are we kept 
back, that we may not offer g an offering of the Lord 
in his appointed season among the children of Israel ? 

8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will 
h Heb. 3, 5, hear h what the Lord will command concerning you. 

9 H And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any 
man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by 
reason of a dead body, or be in a journey ' afar off, 
yet he shall keep the passover unto the Lord. 

11 The fourteenth day of the second month at 
k Deui. 16, even they shall keep it, and k eat it with ' unleavened 

bread and m bitter kerbs. 

12 They shall leave none of it n unto the morning, 
nor break any bone of it : according to all the ordi- 
nances of the passover they shall keep it. 

13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a jour- 
pch. 15,30. ney, and p forbeareth to keep the passover, even the 
q Geo. 17, same soul shall be q cut off r from his people : because 

he brought not the offering of the Lord in his appoint- 
ed season, that man shall bear s his sin. 

14 And if a stranger shall l sojourn among you, 
and will keep the passover unto the Lord ; according 
to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the 
u manner thereof, so shall he do : ye shall have one 
ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was 
born in the land. 

15 IT And on the day that the tabernacle was 
x reared up, the y cloud covered the tabernacle, name- 
ly, the z tent of the testimony : and at even there was 
upon the tabernacle as it were the a appearance of 
fire, until the morning. 

16 So it was always : the b cloud covered it by day, 
and the appearance of fire by night. 

17 And when the cloud was taken up from the ta- 
bernacle, then c after that the children of Israel jour- 
neyed : and in the place where the cloud abode, there 
the children of Israel pitched their tents. 

18 At the commandment of the Lord the children 
of Israel journeyed, and u at the commandment of 
the Lord they pitched : as long as the cloud abode 
upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents. 

19 And when the cloud e tarried long upon the ta- 
bernacle many days, then the children of Israel kepi 
the charge of the Lord, and journeyed not. 

20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days 
upon the tabernacle ; according to the commandment 
of the Lord they abode in their tents, and according 
to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed. 

21 And so it was, when the cloud abode from even un- 
to the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the 
morning, then they journeyed ; whether it was by day 
or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. 

22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a 
year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, re- 
maining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their 
tents, and journeyed not : but when it was taken up, 
they journeyed. 

23 f At the commandment of the Lord they rested in 
their tents, and at the commandment of the Lord they 
journeyed: they kept the charge of the Lord, at the 
commandment of I he Lord by the 6 hand of Moses.

30 And he said unto him, I will h not go ; but I 
will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. 

31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee : foras- 
much as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the 
wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of ' eyes. 

32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall 
be, that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us. the 
same will we do unto thee. 

33 IT And they departed from the k mount of the 
Lord ' three days' journey : and the ark of the co- 
venant of the Lord went before them in the three 
days' journey, to search out a resting-place for them. 

34 And the m cloud of the Lord was " upon them 
° by day, when they went out of the camp. 

35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, 
that Moses said, p Rise up, Lord, and let q thine ene- 
mies be r scattered, and let them that hate thee flee 
before thee. 

36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, 
unto the many thousands of Israel. 

CHAP. XI. 

4 The people lust for flesh, and loathe manna. 31 Quails 
are given in -wrath at Kibroth-hattaavah. 
ND when the people * complained, it h displeased 
the Lord : and the Lord heard it ; and his an- 
ger was kindled ; and the c fire of the Lord burnt 
among them, and consumed them that were in the 
uttermost parts of the camp. 

2 And the people cried unto Moses ; and when Mo- 
ses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was d quenched. 

3 And he called the name of the place j| Taberah ; 
because the fire of the Lord burnt, among them. 

4 And the e mixed multitude that was among them 
t fell a lusting : and the children of Israel also wept 
again, and said, f Who shall give us flesh to eat? 

5 We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt 
freely ; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, 
and the onions, and the s garlick : 

6 But now our soul is h dried away: there is no- 
thing at all, besides this manna, ' before our eyes. 

7 And the manna was as coriander-seed, and the 
colour thereof as the colour of k bdellium. 

8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and 
1 ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked 
it m pans, and made m cakes of it: and the taste of it 
was as the taste of n fresh oil. 

9 And when the dew ° fell upon the camp in the 
night, the manna fell upon it. 

10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout 
their families, every man in the door of his tent : and 
the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly ; Moses 
also was displeased. 

1 1 And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast 



Seventy ciders appointed., 

thou p afflicted thy servant ? and wherefore have i 
not q found favour in thy sight, that thou layest r the 
burden of all this people upon me ? 

12 Have I conceived all this people ? have I be- 
gotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry riWt.Y.ii

1 4 I am not able to bear all this people alone, be- 
cause it is too heavy for me. 

1 5 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray 
thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight ; 
and let me not see my x wretchedness. 

16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto 
me y seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou 
knowest to be the elders of the people, and z officers ^ 7 p eu 
over them ; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the 
congregation, that they may stand there with thee. 

17 And I will come a down and talk with thee 
there : and I will b take of the spirit which is upon 
thee, and will put it upon them ; c and they shall bear 
the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it 
not thvself alone.

Moses, one of his young men, answered and said,

29 And Moses said unto him, p Enviest thou for

were prophets, and that the Lord would r put his 
spirit upon them ! 

30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the 
elders of Israel. 

31 And there went forth "a wind from the Lord, 
and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by 
the camp, as it were a da> "s journey on this side, and 
as it were a day's journey on the other side, round 
about the camp, as it were two cubits high upon the 
face of the earth. 

32 And the people stood up all that day, and all 
that night, and all the next day, and they gathered 
the quails : he that gathered least gathered ' ten ho- 
mers : and they spread them u all abroad for themselves 
round about the camp. 

33 And while the flesh t was yet between their 
teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was 
kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the 
people with x a very great plague. 

34 And he y called the name of that place || Kibroth- 
hattaavah : because there they buried the people that 
lusted.

vah unto z Hazeroth ; and abode at Hazeroth.

God rebuketh the sedition of Miriam and Aaron. 

AND t Miriam and Aaron a spake against Moses 
because of the b Ethiopian woman whom he had 
married : for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 

2 And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken 
only by Moses ? hath he not spoken also c by us ? 
And the Lord d heard it. 

3 (Now the man Moses was very e meek, f above 
all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) 

4 And the Lord g spake suddenly unto Moses, and 
unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come h out ye three 
unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they 
three came out. 

5 And the Lord ' came down in the pillar of the 
k cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and 
called Aaron and Miriam : and they both came forth. 

6 And he said, Hear now my words : If tiiere be 
a ' prophet among you, / the Lord will make myself 
known unto him in a m vision, and will speak unto 
him in a n dream. 

7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in 
all ° mine house ? 

8 With him will I speak p mouth to mouth, even 
q apparently, and not in dark speeches ; and the si- 
militude of the Lord shall he behold : wherefore then 
were ye not afraid to speak r against my servant 
Moses 1 

9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 
them ; and he departed. 

10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle ; 
and, behold, Miriam became 8 leprous, white as snow 
and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was 
leprous. 

11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I 
beseech thee, lay not the * sin upon us, wherein we 
have done " foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. 

1 2 Let her not be as one x dead, of whom the flesh 
is half consumed when he conieth out of his mother's 
womb. 



Spies sent to search Canaan. 
saying, Heal 



1 3 And Moses cried unto the Lord 
her now, O God, I beseech thee. 

14 And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father 
had but y spit in her face, should she not be ashamed 
z seven days ? Let her be shut out from the camp 
seven days, and after that let her be received in again. 

1 5 And Miriam was a shut out from the camp seven 
days : and' the people b journeyed not till Miriam was 
brought in again. 

16 And afterward the people removed from Haze-

1 The names of the men who were sent to search the land : 
26 Their relation. 
ND the a Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

2 b Send thou men, that, they may c search the 
land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of 
Israel : of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a 
man, every one a ruler among them. 

3 And Moses by the d commandment of the Lord 
sent them from the wilderness of Paran : all those 
men were e heads of the children of Israel. 

4 And these were their names : Of the tribe of 
Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 

5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 

6 Of the tribe of Judah, || Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 

7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 

8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. 

9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 

1 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 

1 1 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of 
Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 

1 2 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 

13 Of the tribe of Asher, || Sethur the son of Michal. 

1 4 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 

15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 

1 6 These are the names of the men which Moses 
sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea 
the son of Nun, Jehoshua. 

1 7 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of 
Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way 
f southward, and go up into the g mountain : 

1 8 And see the land, what it is ; and the people 
that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, 
few or many ; 

1 9 And what the land is that they dwell in, whe- 
ther it be h good or bad -, and what cities they be that 
they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds ; 

20 And what the land is, whether it be ' fat or lean, 
whether there be wood therein or not : and be ye of 
good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. 
Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes. 

21 So they went up, and searched the land, from 
the wilderness of k Zin unto ' Rchob, as men come to 
m Hamath. 

22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto 
"Hebron, where ° Ahiman, Sheshai, and ''Tallinn, 
•'the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was 
1 built seven years before 9 Zoan in Egypt.) 

23 And they came unto the brook of || Eshcol, and 
cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of 
grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; 
and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 

24 The place was called the brook Eshrol, because 
of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel 
cut down from thence. 

25 And they returned from searching of the land 
after forty l days.

NL) a all the congregation lifted up their voice, 
. and b cried ; and the people wept that night. 

2 And all the children of Israel murmured c against 
Moses and against Aaron : and the whole congrega- 
tion said unto them, '' Would God that we had died in 
the land of Egypt ! or would God we had died in this 
wilderness ! 

3 And wherefore e hath the Lord brought us unto 
this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our 
children should be a prey ? were it not better for us to 
return into Egypt ? 

4 And they said one to another, t Let us make a 
captain, and let us f return into Egypt. 

5 Then Moses and Aaron g fell on their faces before 
all the assembly of the congregation of the children 
of Israel. 

6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son 
h ch. 13, 6. of Jephimneh, which were of them that n searched the 
i ben. 37, land, ' rent their clothes :

33 And your children shall wander in the wilder-

34 After the number of the days in which ye search- 
ed the land, even forty days, * each day for a year, 
shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years ; and ye 
shall know my y breach of promise : 

35 I the Lord have said, z I will surely do it unto

against me ; in this wilderness they shall be consumed, 
and there they shall die. 

36 IT And the men which Moses sent to search the 
land, who returned, and made all the congregation to 
murmur against him, by bringing up a a slander upon 
the land, 

37 Even those men, that did bring up the evil 
report upon the land, died by the plague b before the 
Lord. 

38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son

search the land, c lived still. 

39 IT And Moses told these sayings unto all the chil- 
dren of Israel : and the people d mourned greatly. 

40 And they e rose up early in the morning, and gat 
them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, f we 
be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord 
hath promised : for we have sinned. 

41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do you trans- 
gress the commandment of the Lord ? but it shall not 
prosper. 

42 Go not up, for the Lord is g not among you ; 
that ye be not smitten before your enemies. 

43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites. are 
there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword : be- 
cause ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore 
the Lord will not be with you. 

44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill-top : 
nevertheless the h ark of the covenant of the Lord, and 
Moses, departed not out of the camp. 

45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the 
' Canaanites which dwelt in that lull, and smote them, 
and k discomfited them, even unto ' Hormah.

1 1 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one

12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, 
so shall ye do to every one, according to their number. 

13 All that are born of the country shall do these

14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whoso-

upon the sabbath-day. 

33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought 
him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congre- 
gation : 

34 And they put him g in ward, because it was not 
h declared what should be done to him. 

35 And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall 
be surely put to death : all the congregation shall 
1 stone him with stones k without the camp. 

36 And all the congregation brought him without 
the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died ; 
as the Lord commanded Moses. 

37 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them 
that they make them * fringes in the borders of their 
garments, throughout their generations, and that they 
put upon the fringe of the borders a riband of blue : 

39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye 
may look upon it, and m remember all the command- 
ments of the Lord, and do them ; and that ye n seek 
not after your own heart, and your ° own eyes, after 
which ye use to go a p whoring : 

40 That ye may remember, and do all my com- 
mandments, and be holy unto your God. 

41 I am the Lord your God, which brought you out 
of the land of Egypt, to be your God : I am the Lord 
q your God. 

CHAP. XVI. 

The rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 

NOW a Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Ko- 
hath, the son of Levi ; and Dathan and Abiram 
the sons of b Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, c sons 
of Reuben, took men : 

2 And they rose up before Moses, d with certain of 
the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes 
of the assembly, t famous in the congregation, men 
of renown : 

3' And they gathered themselves together against 
Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, t Ye 
take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation 
e are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among 
them : wherefore then lift you up yourselves above 
the congregation of the Lord ? 

4 And when Moses heard it, he f fell upon his face : 

5 And he spake unto Korah, and unto all his com- 
pany, saying, Even g to-morrow the Lord h will shew 
' who are his, and who is holy ; and will cause him to 
come near unto him : even him whom he hath chosen 
will he cause to k come near unto him. 

6 This do : Take you ' censers, Korah, and all his 
company ; 

7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them be- 
fore the Lord to-morrow: and it shall be, that the 
man whom the Lord doth m choose, he shall be B holy: 
ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. 



8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, 
ye sons of Levi : 

9 Seemeth it but a p small thing unto you, that the 
God of Israel hath q separated you from the congre- 
gation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do 
the r service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and s to 
stand before the congregation, to l minister unto them ? 

10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all 
thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee : and seek ye 
the priesthood also ? 

1 1 For which cause both thou and all thy company 
are gathered together u against the Lord : and x what 
is Aaron, that ye murmur against him ? 

1 2 And Moses y sent to call Dathan and Abiram, 
the sons of Eliab ; which said, We will not come up. 

1 3 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up 
out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to 
kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself 
altogether z a prince over us ? 

1 4 Moreover, thou hast a not brought us into a land 
that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheri- 
tance of fields and vineyards : wilt thou t put out the 
eyes of these men 1 we will not come up. 

1 5 And Moses was very b wroth, and said unto the 
Lord, c Respect not thou their offering : I have not. 
taken d one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of 
them. 

16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all 
thy company before the Lord, thou, and thev, and 
Aaron, to-morrow : 

1 7 And take every man his censer, and put incense 
in them, and bring ye before the Lord every man his 
censer, two hundred and fifty censers ; thou also, and 
Aaron, each of you his censer. 

1 8 And they took every man his censer, and put 
fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in 
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with 
Moses and Aaron. 

1 9 And Korah gathered e all the congregation 
against them, unto the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation : and the f glory of the Lord appeared 
unto all the congregation. 

20 And the Lord spake unto Moses, and unto 
Aaron, saying, 

21 s Separate yourselves from among this congre- 
gation, that I may consume them b in a moment. 

22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God. 
the ' God of the spirits of k all flesh, shall ' one man 
sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation ? 

23 IF And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you 
up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and 
Abiram. 

25 And Moses rose up, and Went unto Dathan and 
Abiram ; and the m elders of Israel followed him. 

26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, 
Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked 
men, and n touch nothing of theirs, ° lest ye be con- 
sumed in all their sins. 

27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, 
Dathan, and Abiram, on every side : and Dathan and 
Abiram came out, and p stood in the door of their 
tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little 
children. 

28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that 
the Lord hath sent me to do all these works ; for I 
have not done them of mine q own mind. 

29 If these men die the common death of all men,

or if they be visited after the visitation of all men ; 
then the Lord hath not sent me : 

30 But if the Lord make r a new thing, and the 
earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with 
all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick 
into the s pit ; then ye shall understand that these men 
have provoked the Lord. 

31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of 
speaking all these words, that the ground clave asun- 
der that was under them : 

32 And the earth opened her mouth, and ' swal- 
lowed them up, and their u houses, and x all the men 
that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. 

33 They, and all that appertained to them, went 
down alive into the pit, and the earth y closed upon 
them : and they perished from among the congregation. 

34 And all Israel that were round about them fled 
at the z cry of them : for they said, a Lest the earth 
swallow us up also. 

35 And there came out b a fire from the Lord, and 
consumed the c two hundred and fifty men that offered 
incense. 

36 If And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, 
that he take up the censers out of the burning, and 
scatter thou the fire d yonder ; for they are hallowed. 

38 The censers of these e sinners against their own 
souls, let them make them broad plates for a cover- 
ing of the altar ; for they offered them before the Lord, 
therefore they are hallowed : and they shall be f a sign 
unto the children of Israel. 

39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, 
wherewith they that were burnt had offered ; and they 
were made broad plates for a covering of the altar; 

40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, 
that g no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, 
c6me near to offer incense before the Lord ; that he 
be not h as Korah, and as his company : as the Lord 
said * to him by the hand of Moses. 

41 IT But, on the k morrow, all the congregation of 
the children of Israel murmured against Moses and 
against Aaron, saying, ' Ye have killed the people of 
the Lord. 

42 And k came to pass, when the congregation was 
gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they 
looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation : 
and, behold, the cloud covered it, and m the glory of 
the Lord appeared. 

43 And Moses and Aaron came before the taber 
nacle of the congregation. 

44 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

45 n Get you up from among this congregation, that 
I may consume them as in a moment. And they 
fell upon their faces. 

46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, 
and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on 
p incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and 
make an q atonement lor them : for there is wrath 
gone out from the Lord ; the plague is begun. 

47 And Aaron took, as Moses commanded, and 
ran into the midst of the congregation ; and, behold, 
the plague was begun among the people : and he r put 
on incense, and made an atonement for the people. 

48 And he stood s between the dead and the living ; 
and the ' plague was stayed. 

49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen 
thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died 
about the matter of Korah. 



Aaron'' s rod flour 

50 x\nd Aaron returned unto Moses, unto the 
11 door of the tabernacle of the congregation : and the 
plague was stayed. 

CHAP. XVII. 

Aaron's rod among all the rods of the tribes only flourisheth. 
ND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take 
of every one of them a a rod, according to the house 
of their fathers, of all their princes according to the 
house of their fathers, twelve rods : write thou every 
man's name upon his rod. 

3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the red 
of b Levi : for c one rod shah be for the head of the 
house of their fathers. 

4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of 
the congregation, '' before the testimony, e where I 
will meet with you. 

5 And it shall come to pass that the man's rod, 
whom I shall choose, shall f blossom : and I will 
make to cease from me the murmurings of the chil- 
dren of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. 

6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel ; 
and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, 
t for each prince one, according to their fathers' 
houses, even twelve rods : and the rod of Aaron was 
among their rods. 

7 And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in 
the tabernacle of witness. 

8 And it came to pass, that, on the morrow, Moses 
went into the tabernacle of witness ; and, behold, the 
rod of Aaron, for the house of Levi, was budded, and 
brought forth s buds, and bloomed blossoms, and 
yielded h almonds. 

9 And Moses brought out all the rods from ' before 
the Lord unto all the children of Israel : and they 
looked, and took every man his rod. 

1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's 
rod again before the testimony, to be k kept for a token 
against the t rebels ; and thou shalt quite take away 
their murmurings from me, that they die not. 

1 1 And Moses did so : as the Lord commanded 
him, so did he. 

12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, 
saying, Behold, we ' die, we perish, we all perish. 

13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the ta- 
bernacle of the Lord shall die : shall we be m con- 
sumed with dying ?

2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the

and the charge of the altar ; that there be no ' wrath 
any more upon the children of Israel. 

6 And I, behold I, have k taken your brethren the 
Levites from among the children of Israel; to you 
they are given as a gift for the Lord, to do the service 
of the tabernacle of the congregation. 

7 Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep 
your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and 
'within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given 
your priest's office unto you as a t service of gift : and 
the m stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 

8 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also 
have n given thee the charge of my heave-offerings 
of all the ° hallowed things of the children of Israel ; 
unto thee have I given them, p by reason of the 
anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for 
ever. 

9 This shall be thine of the q most holy things, re- 
served from the fire : Every oblation of theirs, every 
r meat-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of 
theirs, and every trespass-offering of theirs, which they 
shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and 
for thy sons. 

1 s In the most holy place shalt thou eat it ; every 
1 male shall eat it : it shall be holy unto thee. 

1 1 And this is thine : the u heave-offering of their 
gift, with all the x wave-offerings of the children of 
Israel : I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons, 
and to thy y daughters with thee, by a statute for ever : 
every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it. 

1 2 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the 
wine, and of the wheat, the z first-fruits of them, which 
they shall offer unto the Lord, them have I given thee. 

13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which 
they shall bring unto the Lord, shall be thine : every 
one that is clean in thy house shall a eat of it. 

14 Every thing b devoted in Israel shall be thine. 

15 Every thing that c openeth the matrix in all 
flesh, which they bring unto the Lord, whether it be 
of men or beasts, shall be thine : nevertheless the 
first-born of man shalt thou surely d redeem, and the 
firstling of e unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. 

1 6 And those that are to be redeemed, from f a 
month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine esti- 
mation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel 
of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. 

17 But g the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a 
sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt h not re- 
deem ; they are holy : thou shalt sprinkle their blood 
upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering 
made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the Lord. 

18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the 
wave-breast and as the right shoulder are thine. 

19 All the i heave-offerings of the holy things, 
which the children of Israel offer unto the Lord, have 
I given thee and thy sons, and thy daughters with 
thee, by a statute for ever : it is a k covenant of salt 
for ever before the Lord unto thee, and to thy seed 
with thee. 

20 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, 'Thou shalt 
have no m inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou 
have any ° part among them : I am thy ° part, and 
thine inheritance, among the children of Israel. 

21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi 
all the p tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their 
service which they serve, even the service of the ta- 
bernacle of the congregation. 

22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth 



q come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest 
they bear sin, and die. 

23 But the Levites shall do the service of the ta- 
bernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear 
r their iniquity. It shall be a statute for ever through- 
out your generations, that among the children of Is- 
rael they have no inheritance. 

24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which 
they offer as s a heave-offering unto the Lord, I have 
given to the Levites to inherit : therefore I have said 
unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall 
have no inheritance. 

25 TT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto 
them, When ye take of the children of Israel the 
tithes, which I have given you from them for your 
inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave-offering of 
it for the Lord, even a tenth pari of the tithe. 

27 And this your heave-offering shall be reckoned 
unto you as though it were the corn of the threshing- 
floor, and as the * fulness of the wine-press. 

28 Thus ye also shall offer a heave-offering unto 
the Lord of all your tithes which ye receive of the 
children of Israel ; and ye shall give thereof the 
Lord's heave-offering u to Aaron the priest. 

29 Out of all your x gifts ye shall offer every heave- 
offering of the Lord, of all the t best thereof, even the 
hallowed part thereof, out of it. 

30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye 
have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be 
counted unto the Levites as the increase of the thresh- 
ing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press. 

31 And ye shall eat it >' in every place, ye and your 
households : for it is your z reward for your service in 
the tabernacle of the congregation. 

32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when 
ye have heaved from it the best of it : neither shall 
ye a pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, 
lest ye die. 

CHAP. XIX. 

The -water of separation made of the ashes of a red heifer. 

ND the a Lord spake unto Moses, and unto 
Aaron, saying, 

2 This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord 
hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of 
Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer b without spot, 
wherein is no blemish, and upon which c never came 
yoke. 

3 And ye shall give her unto d Eleazar the priest, 
that he may bring her forth e without the camp, and 
one shall slay her before his face. 

4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood 
with his f finger, and g sprinkle of her blood directly 
before the h tabernacle of the congregation seven 
times. 

5 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight ; her 
skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, 
shall he bum : 

6 And the priest shall take ' cedar-wood, and k hys- 
sop, and l scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the 
burning of the heifer. 

7 Then the priest shall m wash his clothes, and he 
shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall 
come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean 
until the even. 

8 And he that burnetii her shall wash his clothes 
in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be 
unclean until the even.

Tfte law of purification. 

9 And a man that is clean shall gather up the 
n ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp 
in a ° clean place, and it shall be kept, for the congre- 
gation of the children of Israel, for a water of p sepa- 
ration : it is a purification q for sin. 

10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer 
shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even : 
and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto 
the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute 
for ever. 

1 1 IT He that toucheth the dead body of any man 
shall r be unclean seven days. 

1 2 He shall s purify himself with it on the third day, 
and on the seventh day he shall be clean : but if he 
purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day 
he shall not be clean. 

1 3 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man 
that, is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the 
tabernacle of the Lord ; and that soul shall be cut 
' off from Israel : because the water of separation was 
not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean ; his un- 
cleanness is yet upon him. 

14 This is the law when a man dieth in a tent ; All 
that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, 
shall be unclean seven days. 

15 And every u open vessel, which hath no cover- 
ing bound upon it, is unclean. 

1 G And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a 
x sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a y bone 
of a man, or z a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 

1 7 And for an unclean person they shall take of the 
ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and 
t running water shall be put thereto in a vessel ; 

18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip 
it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon 
all a the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, 
and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or 
one dead, or a grave : 

1 9 And the clean person shall b sprinkle upon the 
unclean on the c third day, and on the seventh day ; 
and on the d seventh day he shall purify himself, and 
e wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and 
shall be clean at even. 

20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall 
not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from 
among the congregation, because he hath f defiled 
the sanctuary of the Lord : the water of separation 
hath not been sprinkled upon him ; he is unclean. 

21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, 
that he that sprinklelh the water of separation shall 
g wash his clothes ; and he that toucheth the water 
of separation shall be unclean until even. 

22 And whatsoever the unclean person h toucheth 
shall be unclean ; and the soul that toucheth it shall 
be unclean until even.

CHAP. XX. Moses smiteth the rock, <$r. 

4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of 
the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our cattle 
should die there ? 

5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out 
of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place ? it is no 
place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegra- 
nates ; neither is there any water to drink. 

6 And Moses and Aaron went from ' the presence ) Rev. 12, 
of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of 14 ' 
the congregation, and they m fell upon their faces; mch.16,4. 
and the glory of the Lord " appeared unto them. n ch. 16, 5. 

7 IF And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

8 Take the ° rod, and gather thou the assembly oEx. 17, 5. 
together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and p speak ye pver.10,1!. 



unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall q give qPs. 78, 1 
forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them * l 05 L 41 
water out of the rock : so thou shalt give the congre- 20. ' ' 
gation and their beasts drink. 

9 And Moses took the rod r from before the Lord, rch. 17, 
as he commanded him. £x - 16, ' 

10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congrega- 
tion together before the rock ; and he said unto them, 
3 Hear now, ye * rebels ; u must we fetch you water 
out of this rock ? 

1 1 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he 
smote the rock twice : and the water came out x abun- 
dantly : and the y congregation drank, and their z beasts 
also. 

12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, 
Because ye a believed me not, to b sanctify me in the 
c eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall d not 
bring this congregation into the land which I have 
given them. 

1 3 This is the water of || Meribah ; because the 
children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was 
e sanctified in them. 

14 IT And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh 
unto the king of f Edom, Thus saith thy brother 
Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath t be- 
fallen us ; 

1 5 How our fathers E went down into Egypt, and 
we have dwelt in Egypt a h long time ; and the Egyp- 
tians vexed us and our fathers : 

16 And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard 

our voice, and sent an ' angel, and hath brought us > Ex. 3, 2. 
forth out of Egypt ; and, behold, we are in Kadesh, 
a city in the uttermost of thy border : 

17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through k thy coun- kDout. i,«. 
try : we will not pass through the fields, or through 

the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of 
the wells : we will go by the king's high-way, we 
will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until 
we have passed thy borders. 

18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not past, 
by me, lest 1 come out against thee with the sword. 

19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We 
will go by the highway, and if I and my cattle drink 

of thy water, then I will 'pay for it: I will only, in<ui. 2.... 
without doing any tiling else, go through on my feet. 7 

20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And 
Edom came out against him with much people, and 
with a strong hand. 

21 Thus "Edom refused to give Israel passage 
through his border: wherefore Israel ""turned away „, j,„i., 11, 
from him. lituL .. &

TJie death of Aaron 

23 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in 
mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying, 

24 Aaron shall be ° gathered unto his people : for 
he shall not enter into the land which I have given 
unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled 
against my word at the water of Meribah. 

25 Take p Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring 
them up unto mount Hor ; 

26 And ' ! strip Aaron of his garments, and put 
them upon Eleazar his son : and Aaron shall be 
gathered unto his people, and shall die there. 

27 And Moses did as the Lord commanded : and 
they went up into mount Hor, in the sight of all the 
congregation. 

28 And Moses r stripped Aaron of his garments, 
and put them s upon Eleazar his son ; and Aaron died 
there in the l top of the mount : and Moses and Ele- 
azar came down from the mount. 

29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron 
u was dead, they mourned for Aaron x thirty days, 
even all the house of Israel.

2 And Israel e vowed a vow unto the Lord, and 
said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my 
hand, then I will f utterly destroy their cities. 

3 And the Lord g hearkened to the voice of Israel, 
and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly 
destroyed them and their cities : and he called the 
name of the place Hormah. 

4 IT And they journeyed from mount Hor by the 
way of the Red Sea, to h compass the land of Edom : 
and the soul of the people was much ' discouraged 
because of the k way. 

5 And the people spake l against God, and against 
Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of 
Egypt, to die in the wilderness ? for there is no bread, 
neither is there any water ; and our soul loatheth this 
m light bread. 

6 And the Lord sent fiery "serpents among the 
people, and they bit the people ; and much people of 
Israel died. 

7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, 
We have "sinned, for we have spoken against the 
Lord, and against thee ; pray unto the Lord, that he 
take away the serpents from us. And Moses p pray- 
ed for the people. 

8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a 
i fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole : and it shall 
come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he 
r looketh upon it, shall 8 live. 

9 And Moses made a serpent of l brass, and put 
it upon a u pole : and it came to pass, that x if a ser- 
pent had bitten any man, when he y beheld the ser- 
pent of brass, he lived. 

10 TT And the children of Israel set forward, and 
pitched in z Oboth. 

1 1 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched 
at "Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is before 
b Moab ; toward the sun-rising. 

1 2 From thence they removed, and pitched in the 
valley of c Zared. 

13 From thence they removed, and pitched on 



NUMBERS. Sihon and Og overcome. 

the other side of d Arnon, which is in the wilderness 
that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites : for chpust 
Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the i 45 2- 
Amorites. dXdg^n. 

14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of 18. 
the Lord, What he did in the Red Sea, and in the 
e brooks of Arnon, 

1 5 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to 
the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab. 

16 And from thence they went to Beer : that is the 
well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the 
people together, and I f will give them water. 

1 7 Then Israel g sang this song, Spring up, O well : 
sing ye unto it. 

1 8 The h princes digged the well, the nobles of the 
people digged it, by the direction of the * lawgiver, 
with their k staves. And from the wilderness they 
went to Mattanah : 

19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from 
Nahaliel to Bamoth : 

20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the 
country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh 
toward Jeshimon. 

21 IT And Israel * sent messengers unto Sihon king meut.2,28 
of the Amorites, saying, 

22 m Let me pass through thy land : we will not m Deut. 2, 
turn into the fields, or into the vineyards ; we will 2?1 
not drink of the waters of the well : but we will go 
along by the king's high-way, until we be past thy 
borders. 

23 And Sihon "would not suffer Israel to pass 
through his border ; but Sihon gathered all his people 
together, and went out against Israel into the wilder- 
ness: and he came to ° Jahaz,and fought against Israel. 

24 And p Israel smote him with the edge of the 
sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jab- 
bok, even unto the children of Amnion : for the bor- 
der of the children of Amraon was strong. 

25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel 
dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, 
and in all the villages thereof. 

26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of 
the Amorites, who had fought against the former king 
of Moab, and taken all his land out of liis. hand, even 
unto Arnon. 

27 Wherefore they that speak q in proverbs say, q Ezek. 17. 
r Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built 
and prepared : 

28 For there is 8 a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame 
from the city of * Sihon : it hath u consumed Ar of 
Moab, and x the lords of the high places of Arnon. 

29 y Wo to thee, Moab ! thou art undone, O z people 
of Chemosh : a he hath given his sons that escaped, 
and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of 
the Amorites.

1 Balak' s message for Balaam. 22 An angel would have 
slain him, if his ass had not saved him. 

AND the children of Israel a set forward, and pitch- 
ed in the plains of Moab, on this side Jordan by 
Jericho. 

2 And b Balak, the son of Zippor, c saw all that 
Israel had done to the Amorites. 

3 And Moab was sore d afraid of the people, c be- 
cause they were many : and Moab was distressed 
because of the children of Israel. 

4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now 
shall this company f lick up all that are round about 
us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And 
Balak, the son of Zippor, was king of the Moabites 
at that time. 

5 He sent messengers, therefore, unto g Balaam, 
the son of Beor, to h Pethor, which is by the river of 
the land of the children of his people, to call him, 
saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt : 
behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they 
abide over against me. 

6 ' Come now, therefore, I pray thee, k curse me 
this people, for they are ' too mighty for me : perad- 
venture I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and 
that I may drive them out of the land : for I wot that 
he m whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou 
cursest is cursed. 

7 And the elders of Moab, and the elders of Midian, 
departed with n the rewards of divination in their 
hand ; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto 
him the words of Balak. 

8 And he said unto them, Lodge here ° this night, 
and I will bring you word again, p as the Lord shall 
speak unto me : And the princes of Moab abode with 
Balaam. 

9 And q God came unto Balaam, and said, What 
men are these with thee ? 

1 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of 
Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, 

1 1 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, 
which covereth the face of the earth: come now, 
r curse me them ; peradventure I shall be able to 
overcome them, and drive them out. 

12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go 
with them ; thou shalt s not curse the people : for they 
1 are blessed. 

13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said 
unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land : for 
the Lord u refuseth to give me leave to go with you. 

1 4 And the princes of JVloab rose up, and they went 
unto Balak, and said, Balaam x refuseth to come 
with us. 

1 5 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and 
more honourable than they. 

16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, 
Thus saitli Balak, the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I 
pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me : 

17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, 
and y I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me : come, 
therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 

18 And Balaam answered and said unto the ser- 
vants of Balak, If Balak would give me his "house 



An angel meeteth him in th 

full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word 
of the Lord b my God, to do c less or more. 

1 9 Now, therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here 
this night, that d I may know what the Lord will say 
unto me more. 

20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said 
unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and 
e go with them ; but yet f the word which I shall say 
unto thee, that g shalt thou do. 

21 And Balaam h rose up in the morning, and sad- 
dled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. 

22 And ■ God's anger was kindled because he went : 
and the k angel of the Lord stood in the way for an 
adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his 
ass, and his two servants were with him. 

23 And the ' ass saw the angel of the Lord stand- 
ing in the way, and his m sword drawn in his hand : 
and the n ass turned aside out of the way, and went 
into the field ; and Balaam ° smote the ass, to turn 
her into the way. 

24 But the angel of the Lord stood in a path of the 
vineyards, p a wall being on this side, and a wall on 
that side. 

25 And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, 
she thrust herself unto the wall, and q crushed Ba- 
laam's foot against the wall : and he smote her again. 

26 And the angel of the Lord went further, and 
stood in a narrow place, where was T no way to turn, 
either to the right hand or to the left. 

27 And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, 
she fell down under Balaam : and s Balaam's anger 
was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 

28 And the Lord * opened the mouth of the ass; 
and she said unto Balaam, What have I clone unto 
thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times ? 

29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou 
hast u mocked me : I would there were a sword in 
mine hand, for now would x I kill thee. 

30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine 
ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was 
thine unto this day ? was I ever wont to do so unto 
thee ? And he said, Nay. 

31 Then the Lord t opened the eyes of Balaam, 
and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, 
and his sword drawn in his hand : and he bowed down 
his head, and fell flat on his face. 

32 And the angel of the Lord said unto him, 
y Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three 
times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because 
thy way is '- perverse before me : 

33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these 
three times ; unless she had turned from me, surely 
now also I had slain thee, and a saved her alive. 

34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the Lord, I 
have ''sinned ; for I knew not that thou sloodest in the 
way against me : now, therefore, if it displease thee, 
I will get. me back again. 

35 And the angel of the Lord said unto Balaam, 
c Go with the men: but only the word thai 1 shall 
speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam 
went with the princes of Balak. 

36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, 
he d went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is 
in the border of "Anion, which is in the utmost coast. 

37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnest- 
ly send unto thee to call thee > wherefore earnest thou 
not unto me? 'am I not able indeed to promote 
thee to honour ?

39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came 
unto h Kirjath-huzoth. 

40 And Balak ' offered oxen and sheep, and sent to 
Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. 

41 And it came to pass on the k morrow, that Balak 
took Balaam, and brought him up into the > high places 
of Baal, that thence m he might see the utmost part 
of the people. 

CHAP. XXIII. 

1, 13, 28 Balak' 's sacrifice. 7, 18 Balaam's parable. 
ND Balaam said unto Balak, a Build me here 
b seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen 
and seven rams. 

2 And Balak c did as Balaam had spoken ; and 
Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock 
and a ram. 

3 And Balaam said unto Balak, d Stand by thy 
burnt-offering, and I will go ; peradventure the Lord 
will come to e meet me : and whatsoever he sheweth 
me I will tell thee. And he went to a high place. 

4 And f God met Balaam : and he said unto him, 
I have s prepared seven altars, and I have offered 
upon every altar a bullock and a ram. 

5 And the Lord put h a word in Balaam's mouth, 
and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt 
speak. 

6 And he returned unto him ; and, lo, he stood by 
his burnt-sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. 

7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the 
king of Moab hath brought me from ' Aram, out of the 
mountains of k the east, saying, Come, curse me 
Jacob, and come, ' defy Israel. 

-ft m How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed 1 
or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied ? 

9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from 
the hills I behold him : lo, the people shall n dwell 
alone, and shall ° not be reckoned among the nations. 

10 Who can count the p dust of Jacob, and the 
number of the fourth. part of Israel ? Let me die the 
q death of the righteous, and let my || last end be like his ! 

1 1 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou 
done unto me ? I took thee to curse mine r enemies, 
and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. 

12 And he answered and said, s Must I not take 
heed to speak that which the Lord hath put in my 
mouth ? 

13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, 
with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest 
see them : thou shalt see but the * utmost part of them, 
and shalt not see them all ; and curse me them from 
thence. 

1 4 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to 
the top o( Pisgah, and built u seven altars, and offered 
a bullock and a ram on every altar. 

15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy 
burnt-offering, while I meet the LORD yonder. 

16 And the Lord met Balaam, and x put a word 
in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say 
thus. 

1 7 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by 
his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him. 
And Balak said unto him, What hath the Lord 
spoken ? 

1 8 And he took up his parable, and said, * Rise up,

a bullock and a ram on every altar.

9 He l couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a

blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. 

10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, 
and he x smote his hands together : and Balak said 
unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, 
and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these 
three times. 

1 1 Therefore now y flee thou to thy place : I thought 
to promote thee unto great honour ; but, lo, the Lord 
hath ' L kept thee back from honour. 

1 2 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also 
to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, 

1 3 If Balak would give me his house full of silver 
and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of 

»ch 2i,i8. the Lord, to do either good or bad of a mine own 
mind ; but what the Lord saith, that will I speak ? 

14 And now, behold, I go unto my people : come 
therefore, and I will advertise b thee what this people 
shall do to thy people in the c latter days. 

1 5 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam 
the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes 
are open hath said ; 

16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, 
and knew the knowledge of the Most High, which 
saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, 
but having his eyes open : 

1 7 I shall d see him, but not now ; I shall behold 
him, but not e nigh : there shall come f a Star out of 
Jacob, and a g Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and 
shall smite the h corners of Moab, and t destroy all 
the children of Sheth. 

1 8 And ' Edom shall be a possession, Seir also 
shall be a possession for his enemies ; and Israel shall 
do k valiantly. 

1 9 Out of Jacob shall come ' he that shall have 
dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of 
the city. 

20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his 
mEs. 17, 8. parable, and said, Amalek was the "' first of the na- 
tions ; but his latter end shall be, that he perish for ever. 

21 And he looked on the n Kenites, and took up his 
parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling-place, and 
thou puttest thy ° nest in a rock. 

22 Nevertheless the t Kenite shall be wasted || un- 
til Asshur shall carry thee away captive. 

23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, 
who shrill live when God doeth this ! 

24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, 
and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he 
also shall perish for ever. 

25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to 
his place : and Balak also went his way.

5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay 
ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor. 

6 IT And, behold, one of the children of Israel 
came, and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish 
woman, in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all 
the congregation of the children of Israel, who were 

1 weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the iEiek. 9,4. 
congregation. 

7 And when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son 
of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the 
congregation, and took a javelin in his hand ; 

8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, 
and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, 
and the woman through her belly. So the k plague 
was stayed from the children of Israel. 

9 And those that died in the plague were ' twenty 
and four thousand. 

10 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

1 1 Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron 
the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the chil- 
dren of Israel, (while he was m zealous for my sake 
among them,) that I consumed not the children of 2 ' 
Israel in my " jealousy. 

1 2 Wherefore, say, Behold, I give unto him my 
covenant of peace : 

13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, 
even the covenant of an p everlasting priesthood , 
because he q was zealous for his God, and made an 
r atonement for the children of Israel. 

14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, j' 4 z<!Cb - '• 
even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Ga.. 4, i«. 
Zimri the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house '^ osh - 7> x 
among the Simeonites. p ror . ic, 14. 

15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that * 
was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was 
head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian 

16 IF And She Lord spake unto Moses, saying^ 

1 7 s Vex the Midianites, and smite them : 

1 8 For they vex you with their * wiles, wherewith 
they have beguiled you, in the matter of Peor, and in 
the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince 
Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of 
the plague, for Peor's sake. 

CHAP. XXVI. 

The sum of all Israel is taken in the plains of Moab. 
ND it came to pass, a after the plague, that the 
Lord spake unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the 
son of Aaron the priest, saying, 

2 Take the b sum of all the congregation of the 
|| children of Israel, from twenty years old and up- 
ward, throughout their father's house, all that are able 
to go to war in Israel. 

3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with 
them in the c plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho, 
saying, 

4 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old 
and upward; as the Lord commanded Moses, and 
the children of Israel, which went forth out of the

51 IT And these are they that were numbered of 
the d Levites, after their families : of Gershon, the fa- 
mily of the Gershonites : of Kohath, the family of the 
Kohathites: of Merari, the family of the Merarites. 

58 These are the families of the Levites : the fa- 
mily of the Libnites, the family of the e Hebronites, 
the family of the Mahliles, the family of the ' Mu- 
shites, the family of the g Korathites : and Kohath 
begat Amram. 

59 And the name of Amram's wife was h Jochebed, 
the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi 
in Egypt : and she bare unto Amram, Aaron, and 
Moses, and Miriam their sister. 

60 And unto Aaron ' was born Nadab, and Abihu, 
Eleazar, and Ithamar. 

61 And Nadab and Abihu k died, when they offer- 
ed strange fire before the Lord. 

62 And those that were numbered of them were 
1 twenty and three thousand, all males, from a month 
old and upward : for they were not numbered among 
the children of Israel, because there was no inheri- 
tance given them among the children of Israel. 

63 IT These are they that were numbered by Moses 
and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of 
Israel in the plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho. 

64 But among these there was not a man of them 
whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when 
they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness 
of Sinai : 

65 For the Lord had said of them, They shall 
m surely die in the wilderness. And there was D not 
left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, 
and Joshua the son of Nun. 

CHAP. XXVII. 

6 The law of inheritances. 1 2 Moses being told of his 
death, sueth for a successor. 

THEN a came the daughters of Zelophehad, the 
son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of 
Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Ma- 
nasseh the son of Joseph : and these are the b names 
of his daughters ; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and 
Milcah, and Tirzah. 

2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar 
the priest, and before the. princes and all the congre- 
gation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congrega 
tion, saying, 

3 Our father c died in the wilderness, and he was 
not in the company of them that gathered themselves 
together against the Lord in the company of d Korah ; 
but died in his own sin, and had no sons. 

4 Why should the name of our father e be done 
away from among his family, because he hath no 
son ? H Give unto us, therefore, a possession among 
the brethren of our father. 

5 And Moses brought their f cause before the Lord. 

6 IT And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

7 The daughters of Zelophehad g speak right : thou 
shalt surely h give them a possession of an inheritance 
among their father's brethren ; and thou shalt cause 
the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. 

8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, 
saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall 
cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter. 

9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his 
inheritance unto his brethren. 

10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give 
his inheritance unto his father's brethren. 

1 1 And if his father have no brethren, then ye 



shall give his inheritance unto his ' kinsman that is 
next to him of his family, and he shall possess it : and 
it shall be unto the children of Israel a k statute of 
judgment; as the Lord commanded Moses. 

12 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Get thee up 
into this mount ' Abarim, and m see the land which I 
have given unto the children of Israel. 

13 And when thou hast seen it thou also shalt be 
n gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was 
gathered. 

14 For ye ° rebelled against my commandment in 
the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to 
p sanctify me at the water before their eyes : that is 
the water of q Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness 
of Zin. 

1 5 IT And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 

1 6 Let the Lord, the God of the r spirits of all flesh, 
set a man over the congregation, 

1 7 Which may * go out before them, and which 
may go in before them, and which may lead them out, 
and which may bring them in ; that the congregation 
of the Lord be not u as sheep which have no shepherd. 

18 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee 
Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the x spirit, 
and lay thine hand upon him ; 

19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and be- 
fore all the congregation : and y give him a charge in 
their sight. 

20 And thou shalt put ■ some of thine honour upon 
him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel 
t may be obedient. 

21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, 
who shall ask counsel for him, after the judgment of 
a Urim before the Lord : b at his word shall they go 
out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and 
all the children of Israel with him, even all the con- 
gregation. 

22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him . 
and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the 
priest, and before all the congregation. 

23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a 
charge, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. 

CHAP. XXVIII. 

Offerings are to be observed, 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
2 a Command the children of Israel, and say 
unto them, My b offering, and my c bread for my sa- 
crifices made by fire for t a sweet savour unto me, 
shall ye observe to offer unto me in their d due 
season. 

3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is c the of- 
fering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the 
Lord ; two lambs of the first year f without spot, 
g day by day, for a continual burnt-offering. 

4 The one lamb shalt thou offer h in the morning, 
and the other lamb shalt thou offer at t even ; 

5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat- 
offering, mingled with the fourth part, of a hin of 
beaten oil. 

6 It is a continual burnt-offering, which was or- 
dained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice 
made by fire unto the Lord. 

7 And the drink-offering thereof shall be the fourth 
part of a hin for the one lamb : in the holy place 
shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto 
the Lord for a drink-offering. 

8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even : as 
the meat-offering of the morning, and as the drink-

40 And Moses told the children of Israel, accord- 
ing to all that the Lord commanded Moses. 

CHAP. XXX. 

Vows are not to be broken. 

AND Moses spake unto the a heads of the tribes 
b concerning the children of Israel, saying, This 
is the thing which the Lord hath commanded. 

2 If a man c vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear 
an d oath to e bind his soul u ilh a bowl ; he shall t not 
break his word, he shall do according to f all that 
proceedcth out of his mouth. 



3 If E a woman ateo vow avow unto the Lord, and 
bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in 
her youth ; 

4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond where- 
with she hath bound her soul, and her father shall 
hold his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, 
and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul 
h shall stand. 

5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he 
heareth ; not any of her vows, or of her bonds, where- 
with she hath bound her soul, ' shall stand : and the 
Lord shall forgive her, because her father disallowed 
her. 

6 And if she had at all a husband, when t she 
vowed, or uttered aught out of her lips, wherewith 
she bound her soul ; 

7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at 
her in the day that he heard it ; then her vows shall 
stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul 
shall stand. 

8 But if her husband k disallow her on the day that 
he heard it ; then he shall make her vow which she 
vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, 
wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect : and 
the Lord shall forgive her. 

9 But every vow of a \ widow, and of her that is 
m divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, 
shall stand against her. 

10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or 
bound her soul by a bond with an oath ; 

1 1 And her husband heard it, and held his peace 
at her, and disallowed her not ; then all her vows shall 
stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul 
shall stand. 

1 2 But if her husband hath t utterly made them 
void on the day he heard them ; then whatsoever pro- 
ceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or con- 
cerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand ; her 
husband hath made them void, and the Lord shall 
forgive her. 

1 3 Every vow, and every binding oath to n afflict 
the soul, her husband may establish it, or her hus- 
band may make it void. 

1 4 But if her husband t altogether hold his peace 
at her, from day to day ; then he established all her 
vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her : he con- 
firmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the 
day that he heard them. 

5 But if he shall any ways make them void, after 
that he hadi heard them; then he shall || bear her 
iniquity. 

16 These are the statutes which the Lord ° com- 
manded Moses, between a man and his p wife ; be- 
tween the father and his daughter, being yet in her 
youth in her father's house. 

CHAP. XXXI. 

The Midianites are spoiled, and Balaam slain. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
2 "Avenge the children of Israel of the ''Midian- 
ites : afterward shalt thou be c gathered unto thy 
people. 

3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm 
some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go 
against the Midianites, and d avenge the Lord of 
Midian. 

4 t Of every tribe a thousand, throughout .all the

twelve thousand 
armed for war. 

6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of 
every tribe, them and e Phinehas the son of Eleazar 
the priest, to the war, with the f holy instruments, and 
the s trumpets to blow, in his hand. 

7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the 
Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. 

8 And they slew the kings of h Midian, besides the 
rest of them that were slain ; namely, Evi, and Rekem, 
and ' Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five k kings of Midian : 
1 Balaam also, the son of Beor, they slew with the 
sword. 

9 And the children of Israel took all the women of 
Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the 
spoil of all their cattle;, and all their flocks, and all their 
goods. 

10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they 
dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. 

11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey. 
both of men and of beasts. 

12 And they brought the captives, and the m prey, 
and the spoil, unto Moses and Eleazar the priest, and 
unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto 
the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan 
near Jericho. 

13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the 
princes of the congregation, went forth to n meet them

of war. 14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the 

t host, with the captains over thousands, and captains 
over hundreds, which came from the battle. 

15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all 
the women alive ? 

16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, 
through the ° counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass 
against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there 
was a plague among the congregation of the Loud. 

17 Now therefore kill every male among the little 
ones, and kill every woman that hath p known man by 
lying with t him. 

1 8 But all the women-children that have not known 
a man, by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 

1 9 And do ye abide without the camp q seven days :

28 And levy a tribute d unto the Lord of the men 
of war which went out to battle : one soul of five 
hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and 
of the asses, and of the sheep. 

29 Take it of their half, and give it unto e Eleazar

30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shall 
take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, 
of the asses, and of the flocks, of f all manner of (c 
beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which g keep 
the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord. 

31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the 
Lord commanded Moses. 

32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which 
the men of war had caught, was six hundred thou- 
sand, and seventy thousand, and five thousand sheep, 

33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, 

34 And threescore and one thousand asses, 

35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of

36 And the half, which was tne portion of them that 
went out to war, was in number three hundred thou- 
sand, and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred 
sheep : 

37 And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was six 
hundred and threescore and fifteen. 

38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand ; of 
which the Lord's tribute was threescore and twelve.

42 And of the children of Israel's half which Moses 
divided from the men that warred,

NOW the children of * Reuben, and the children

and when they saw the land of d Jazer, and the land

cattle ; 

2 The children of Gad, and the children of Reu-

a possession, and ° bring us not over Jordan. 

6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad, and to 
the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, 
and shall ye sit here ? 

7 And wherefore t discourage ye p the heart of the 
children of Israel from going over into the land which 
the Lord hath given them ? 

8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from 
Kadesh-barnea to see the land. 

9 For q when they went up unto the valley of Esli- 
col, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of 
the children of Israel, that they should not go into the 
land which the Lord had given them. 

10 And the Lord's anger was kindled the same 
time, and he sware, saying, 

1 1 Surely r none of the men that came up out of 
Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see 
the land which 1 sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, 
and unto Jacob ; because they have not t wholly fol- 
lowed me ; 

12 Save "Caleb the son of Jephunnch the Kene- 
zite, and Joshua the son of Nun ; for they have wholly 
followed the Lord. 

13 And the Lord's anger was kindled against Is- 
«ch.i4, 33. rael, and he made them 'wander in the wilderness 

forty years, until all the generation that had done evil 
uch. 26,64. in the sight of the Lord was "consumed. 

14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your father's 
stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the 
x fierce anger of the Lord inward Israel. 

15 For if ye turn away y from after him, he will 
Mark i,' 20. yet again leave them in the wilderness, and ye shall 

destroy all this people. 

16 And they came near unto him, and said, We 
will build sheep-folds here for our cattle, and cities for 
our little ones; 

17 But we ourselves will z go ready armed before 
the children of Israel, until we have brought theni j 
unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in 
the fenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the 
land.

3 And they departed from e Rameses in the f first 
month, on the fifteenth clay of the first month : on the 
morrow after the passover the children of Israel went 
out with a g high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. 

4 (For the Egyptians buried all their first-born

Laws concerning murder and manslaughter. NUMBERS. 

1 2 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge 
from the t avenger ; that the man-slayer die not, until 
he stand r before the congregation in judgment. 

1 3 And of the cities which ye shall give, six cities 
shall ye have for refuge. 

14 Ye shall give s three cities on this side Jordan, 
h and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, 
which shall be cities of refuge. 

1 5 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the 
children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the 
' sojourner among them ; that every one that killeth 
any person unawares may flee thither. 

1 6 And if he smite him with an k instrument of 
iron, so that he die, he is a murderer : the murderer 
shall surely be ' put to death. 

17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, 
wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer : 
the murderer shall surely be put to death. 

18 Or if he smite him with a hand-weapon of wood, 
wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer : 
the murderer shall surely be put to death. 

1 9 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the 
murderer : when he '" meeteth him, he shall slay him. 

20 But if he thrust him " of hatred, or hurl at him 
by laying ° of wait, that he die ; 

21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he 
die ; he that smote him shall surely be put to death ; 

Pi-uv. 26,24. for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall sla) r 
oJudgesie, t j i{; mun j erer w hen he meeteth him. 

22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, 
or have cast upon him anything without laying of wait, 

23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man ma}' die, 
seeing him not, and cast it upon him that he die, and 
was not his enemy, neither sought his harm ; 

24 Then the congregation shall judge between the 
slayer and the revenger of blood according to these 
j udgments : 

25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out 
of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congrega- 
tion shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither 
he was fled : and he shall abide in it unto the death of 
the p high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil. 

26 But if the slayer shall at any time come q with- 
out the border of the city of his refuge, w hither he 
was fled ; 

27 And the revenger of blood find him without the 
borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of

28 Because he should have remained in the city of 
his refuge until the death of the high priest : but after 
the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into

33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are ; 
for blood it t defileth the land : and the t land cannot 
be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by 
the blood of him that shed it. 

34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall in- 
habit, wherein I dwell : for I the Lord u dwell among 
the children of Israel. 

CHAP. XXXVI. 

The daughters of Zelophehad marry their father's brothers' 
sons. 
ND the chief fathers of the families of the chil- 
dren of a Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of 
Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came 
near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, 
the chief fathers of the children of Israel : 

2 And they said, The Lord b commanded my lord 
to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the chil- 
dren of Israel : and c my lord was commanded by the 
Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother 
unto his daughters. 

3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the 
other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their 
inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fa- 
thers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the ti»be 
whereunto they are received : so shall it be taken from 
the lot of our inheritance. 

4 And when the d jubilee of the children of Israel 
shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the 
inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received : 
so shall their inheritance be taken away from the in- 
heritance of the tribe of our fathers. 

5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, 
according to the word e of the Lord, saying, The 
tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. 

6 This is Ihe thing which the Lord doth command 
concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, 
Let them t marry to whom they think best; only to 
the r family of the tribe of their fathers shall they 
marry : 

7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Is- 
rael remove from tribe to tribe ; for every one of the 
children of Israel shall t keep himself to the inherit- 
ance of the tribe of his fathers. 

8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inherit- 
ance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be 
wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, 
that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the 
inheritance of his fathers. 

9 Neither shall the inheritance remove E from one 
tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of 
the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own 
inheritance.

CHAP. I. 

1 JWojes' speech rehearsing the story of God's promise, 19 
of sending the spies to search the land. 

THESE be the words which Moses spake unto all 
Israel a on this side Jordan, in the wilderness, in 
the plain over against the Red Sea, between b Pa- 
ran, and Topliel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and 
Dizahab. 

2 (There are c eleven days' jo urney from Horeb, by 
the way of' 1 mount Seir, unto e Kadesh-barnea.) 

3 And it came to pass in the r fortieth year, in the 
g eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that 
Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according 
unto all that the Lord had given him in command- 
ment unto them ; 

4 After he had slain h Sihon the king of the Amor- 
ites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of 
Bashan, which dwelt at ' Astaroth in Edrei : 

5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began 
Moses to declare this law, saying, 

6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, say- 
ing, Ye have dwelt k long enough in this mount : 

7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the 
mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh 
thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, 
and in the south, and by the ' sea-side, to the land of 
the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great 
river, the river Euphrates. 

8 Behold, I have t set the land before you : go in 
and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your 
fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them, 
and to m their seed after them. 

9 And I spake unto you at n that time, saying, I 
am not able to bear you myself alone :• 

10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, 
behold, you are this day as the ° stars of heaven for 
multitude. 

1 1 (The Lord God of your fathers t make you a 
thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, 
as he hath promised you !) 

12 How can I myself alone bear your p cumbrance, 
and your burden, and your strife 1 

13 q Take ye wise men, and r understanding, and 
3 known among your tribes, and I will make them 
1 rulers over you. 

14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which 
thou hast spoken is good for us to do. 

15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, 
and known, and made them heads over you, captains 
over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and cap- 
tains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers 
among your tribes. 

16 And 1 charged your judges at that lime, saying. 
Hear the causes between your brethren, and "judge 
righteously between every man and his brother, and 
the stranger that is with him. 

17 Ye shall not t respect persons in judgment ; but 
you shall hear the small as well as ihe great ; you shall 
not be afraid of the face of man ; for the judgment * is 
God's: and y the cause that is too hard fur you, bring 
it unto me, and I will hear it. 

18 And 1 commanded you at that time 'all the 
things which ye should do. 

19 And when we. ■ departed from Horeb, we went 
through all that great, and ''terrible wilderness, which 
ycAi saw by the way of the c mountain of the Amorites, 




as the Lord our God commanded us ; and we came 
to Kadesh-barnea. 

20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the 
mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God 
doth give unto us. 

21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land 
before thee : go up and possess it, as the Lord God of 
thy fathers hath said unto thee ; fear not, neither be 
discouraged. 

22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, 
and said, We will send men before us, and they shall 
search us out the land, and bring us word again by 
what way we must go up, and into what cities we 
shall come. 

23 And the saying d pleased me well : and I took 
twelve men of you, one of a tribe : 

24 And they turned, and went up into the moun- 
tain, and came unto the valley of e Eshcol, and searched 
it out. 

25 And they took of the f fruit of the land in then- 
hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us 
word again, and said, It is g a good land which the 
Lord our God doth give us. 

26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but h re- h Num. 14. 
belled against the commandment of the Lord your •' °- 
God: 

27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Be- 
cause the Lord ' hated us, he hath brought us forth 
out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand 
of the Amorites, to destroy us. 

28 Whither shall we go up 1 our brethren have 
t discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater 
and taller than we ; the cities are great, and walled 
k up to heaven : and, moreover, we have seen the sons 
of the ' Anakims there. 

29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be 
afraid of them. 

30 The Lord your God, which goeth before you, 
he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for 
you in Egypt before your eyes ; 

31 And in Ihe wilderness, where thou hast seen 
how that the Lord thy God "' bare thee, as a man doth 
bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye 
came into this place. 

32 Yet in this thing ye did n not believe the Lord 
your God, 

33 Who ° went in the way before you, to search 
you out a place to pitch your tents in. in fire by night, 
to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud 
by day. 

34 And the Lord heard the. voice of your words, 
and was wroth, and sware, saying, 

.'36 Surely there shall p not one of these men of this 
evil generation see that good land, which J sware to 
[give unto your fathers, 

36 Save q Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall 
see it; and to him will I give the land thai lie hath 
trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath 
t wholly followed the Lord. 

37 Also the Lord was aneryT with me "for your 
sakes, saying, 'Thou also shalt not go in thither. 

38 But u Joshua the son of Nun, which "standeth 
before thee, he shall go in thither: y encourage him ; 
for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 

39 Moreover, your little ones, which ye said should 
be x a prey, and your children, which in that day hn.d

40 But as for you, turn ye, and take your journey 
into the wilderness, by c the way of the Red Sea. 

41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have 
11 sinned against the Lord ; we will go up, and fight, 
according to all that the Lord our God commanded 
us. And when ye had girded on every man his wea- 
pons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill. 

42 And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go 
eHos.9,12. not up, neither fight ; for I am e not among you ; lest 

ye be smitten before your enemies. 

43 So I spake unto you ; and you would not hear, 
but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, 
and went presumptuously up into the hill. 

44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that moun- 
fp 3 . U8,i2. tain, came out against you, and chased you as f bees 

do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah. 

45 And ye returned, and wept before the Lord ; 
Heb. 12, but the Lord would s not hearken to your voice, nor 

give ear unto you. 

46 So ye abode in h Kadesh many days, according 
27.&20.14. , mro the days that ye abode there. 

CHAP. II. 

The story is continued, that they were not to meddle with the 
Edomites, Moabites, nor Ammonites, 4*c. 
HEN we turned, and took our journey into the 
wilderness, by the way of the Reel Sea, as the 
Lord a spake unto me: and we compassed h mount 
Seir many days. 

2 And the Lord spake unto me, sa3'ing, 

3 Ye have compassed this mountain c long enough : 
turn you northward. 

4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are 
to pass through the coast of your d brethren the chil- 
dren of Esau, which dwell in Seir ; and they shall be 
e afraid of you : take ye f good heed unto yourselves 
therefore : 

5 g Meddle not with them ; for I will not give you 
of their land, t no not so much as a foot-breadth, be 
cause I have h given mount Seir unto Esa.ii for a pos- 
session. 

6 Ye shall ' buy meat of them for money, that ye 
may eat ; and ye shall also t buy water of them for 
money, that ye may drink. 

7 For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all 
the works of thy hand ; he k knoweth thy walking 
through this great wilderness : these forty years the 
Lord thy God hath been with ' thee, thou hast lacked 
nothing. 

8 And when we "passed by from our brethren the 
children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the 
way of the plain from n Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, 
we turned, and passed by the way of the wilderness 
of Moab. 

9 And the Lord said unto me, ° Distress not the 
Moabites, neither contend with them in battle ; for I 
will not give thee of their land for a possession, be- 
cause I have given p Ar unto the children of Lotyor 
a possession. 

10 The i Emims dwelt therein in times past, a 
people great, and many, and tali, as the Anakims; 

1 1 Which also were accounted giants, as the Ana- 
kims ; hut the Moabites call them Emims.

stead ; r as Israel did unto the land of his possession, 
which the Lord gave unto them. 

1 3 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook 
s Zered : and we went over the brook Zered. 

14 And the space in which we came from Kadesh- 
barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, 
was thirty and eight years ; until l all the generation 
of the men of war were wasted out from among the 
host, as the Lord sware unto them. 

15 For indeed the u hand of the Lord was against "?*■ 78 . 33 
them, to destroy them from among the host, until they 
were consumed. 

16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war 
were consumed and dead from among the people, 

17 That the Lord spake unto me, saying, 

1 8 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of 
Moab, this day. 

19 And when thou comest nigh over against the 
children of x Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle * Gen. 10, 
with them : for I will not give thee of the land of the 
children of Ammon any possession ; because I have 
given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. 

20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: 
giants dwelt therein in old time, and the Ammonites 
call them y Zamzummims ; 

21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Ana- 
kims ; but the Lord destroyed them before them ; and 
they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead : 

22 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt 
in Seir, when he destroyed the t Horims from before 
them ; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their 
stead even unto this day : 

23 And the z Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even 
unto a Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of CT . 
b Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.) £4. mgs 

24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over aOn.10,9. 
the c river Anion : behold, I have given into thy hand 
a Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land : 
begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. 

25 This day will I begin to put the e dread of thee 
and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under 
the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and 
shall tremble, and be in f anguish because of thee. 

26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of 10

only I will pass through ' on my feet ; 

29 (As the children of k Esau which dwell in Seir, 
and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me ;) 
until I shall pass over Jordan, into the land which the

tcrly destroyed t the men, and the women, and the 
little ones, of every city ; we left none to remain : 

35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto our- 
lityofmel, selves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. 

36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river 
of q Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, 
even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong 
for us : the Lord our God r delivered all unto us. 

37 Only unto the land of the children of Amnion 
thou earnest not, nor unto s any place of the river Jab- 

t-2Chr. 20, bok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, * nor unto 
whatsoever the Lord our God forbade us. 

CHAP. III. 

23 Moses" 1 prayer to enter into the land : 27 He is permitted 

to see it. 

THEN we turned, and went up the a way to Ba- 
shan : and Og the king of Bashan came out 
against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 

2 And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not : for 
I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, 
into thy hand ; and thou shalt do unto him as thou 
didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt 
at b Heshbon. 

3 So the Lord our God delivered into our hands 
Og also, the king of Bashan, and c all his people : and 
we smote him, until none was left to him remaining. 

4 And we took all his cities at that time ; there was 
not d a city which we took not from them, threescore 
cities, all t the region of e Argob, the kingdom of Og 
in Bashan. 

5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates 
and bars ; besides f unwallcd towns a great many. 

6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto 
Sihon king of Heshbon, g utterly destroying the men, 
women, and children, of every city. 

7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we 
took for a prey to ourselves. 

8 And we took at that time, out of the hand of the 
two kings of the Amorites, the h land that ivas on this 
side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount 
Hermon ; 

9 (fVliich ' Hermon the Sidonians call k Sirion ; 
and the Amorites call it || Shenir;) 

10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and 
all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the king- 
dom of Og in Bashan. 

1 1 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the 
remnant of ' giants ; behold, his bedstead was u bed- 
stead of m iron : is it not in " Rabbath of the children

of from x Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, 
even the y salt sea, under * Ashdoth-pisgah eastward. 
1 8 And I commanded a you at that time, saying, 
The Lord your God hath given you this land to pos- 
sess it : ye shall pass over armed before your brethren 
the children of Israel, all that are t meet for the war. 



1 9 But your wives, and your little ones, and your ± \ eb 



cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall ofpou-i 
abide in your cities which I have given you ; 

20 Until the Lord have given rest unto 3 r our bre- 
thren, as well as unto you, and nntil they also possess 
the land which the Lord your God hath given them 
beyond Jordan : and then shall ye return every man 
unto his possession which I have given 3-011. 

21 IF And I commanded b Joshua at that time, say- 
ing, Thine e3 r es have seen all that the Lord 3-our God 
hath done unto these two kings : c so shall the Lord 
do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. 

22 Ye shall not fear them : for the Lord your God 
he shall d fig] it for 3-011. 

23 And I besought the Lord at that time, saying, 

24 O Lord God, thou hast e begun to shew thy ser- r, 
vant thy greatness, and thy miglny hand : for f what ] 
god is there in heaven, or in earth that can do accord- 
ing to thy works, and according to thy t might ? 

25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the E good 
land that is beyond Jordan, that h goodfy mountain, 
and 'Lebanon. 

26 But the Lord was wroth with me k for your 
sakes, and would not hear me : and the Lord said 
unto me, ' Let it suffice thee ; speak no more unto Mat. ;, 22. 
me of this matter. g Ezek - -"- 

27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up h Ps. is, 1. 
thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, 
and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes : for thou 
shalt not go over this Jordan. 

28 But charge || Joshua, and encourage him, and 
strengthen him : for he shall go over before this peo- 
ple, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which 
thou shalt see. 

29 So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor. 

CHAP. IV. 

Moses appointeth the three cities of refuge on that side Jordan. 

NOW therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the sta- 
tutes and unto the judgments which I teach 3-011, 
for to do a them, that ye b may live, and go in and 
c possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers 
giveth you. 

2 Ye shall cl not add unto the word which I com- 
mand you, neither shall 3 r ou diminish aught from it, 
that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord 
your God which I command you. 

3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because Rev ' 2 *- ,s 
of e Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal- e Num. : 
poor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from 
among you. 

4 But ye that did cleave f unto the Lord your God 
are alive every one of you this day. 

5 Behold, I have taught you statutes, and judg- 
ments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, 
that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to pos- 
sess it. 

6 Keep, therefore, and do them : for this is your 
'wisdom and your understanding in the ''sight of the gP« in < 
nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, r; 
Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding 
people.

all the days that they shall live upon the earth, andj 

that they may teach their children. 

1 1 And ye came near, and stood under the moun- 
o-<:K. ft,23. tain; and the mountain ° burned with fire unto the 
r.F.x. : ,21. midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, p and thick 

darkness. 

12 And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst 
of the fire : ye heard the voice of the words, but saw 

«jisa.40;i8. a no similitude ; only ye heard a voice. 

13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which 
lie commanded you to perform, even ten command- 

r Ex. 3t, is. ments ; and he wrote them upon two tables of r stone. 

1 4 And the Lord commanded me at that time to 
s Ex.21, i. teach you 3 statutes and judgments, that ye might do 

them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. 

1 5 Take ye therefore l good heed unto yourselves, 
(for ye saw u no manner of similitude on the day that 
the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst 

ui,d.4fu». f the fire,) 

16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a

19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven,

this day, that ye shall soon utterly ' perish from off the I ch. .jo, vi-

27 And the Lord shall scatter you among the na-

28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's job'16,'22. 
hands, wood and stone, which neither m see, nor hear, mps.115,4. 
nor eat, nor smell. 

29 But if n from thence thou shalt seek the Lord 
thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all 
thy heart and with all thy soul. 

30 When thou art. in tribulation, and all these 
things tare come upon thee, even in °the latter days, 
if thou ''turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obe- 
dient unto his voice, 

31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God.) he 
will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget 
the covenant of thy fathers, which he sware unto them. 

32 For q ask now of the days that are past, which q Joi 
were before thee, since the day that God created man 

upon earth, and ask from the r one side of heaven unto r ch. 30, 4. 
the other, whether there hath been any such thing as 
this s great thing is, or hath been heard like it ? 

33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking 
out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, ' and 
live? 

34 Or hath God assayed to go and lake him a na- 
tion from the midst of another nation, by " temptations, 
by x signs, and by y wonders, and by war, and by a 
mighty hand, and by a z stretched-out arm, and by 
great a terrors, according to all that the Lord your 
God did for you in Egypt before your eyes ? 

35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest 
b know that the Lord he is God; there, is none else 
besides him. 

36 c Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, 
that he might d instruct thee : and e upon earth he 
shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his 
words out of the midst of the fire. 

37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he 
chose their seed after them, and brought thee out ' in 
his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt ; 

38 To drive out nations from before thee, s greater 
and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give | ch - 3> 4 - 
thee their land for an inheritance, a? it is this day. 

39 h Know therefore this day, and consider it in 
thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, 
and upon the earth beneath : there is none else. 

40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his 
commandments, which I command thee this day, that 
it may ' go well with thee, and with thy children after 
thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the 
earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever. 

41 IT Then Moses severed k three cities on this side 
Jordan, toward the sun-rising ; 

42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should 
kill his neighbour ' unawares, and hated him not in 
times past; and that, fleeing unto one of these cities, 'p* - -,'<;' £ 
he might live :

44 IT And this is the law which Moses set before 
the children of Israel : 

45 "These are the testimonies, and the statutes, 
and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt, 

46 On this side Jordan, in the valley over against 
Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, 
who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the chil- 
dren of Israel smote, after they were come forth out 
of Egypt : 

47 And they possessed his land, and the land of 

Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which 
were on this side Jordan, toward the sun-rising ; 

48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river 
Arnon, even unto mount p Sion, which is Hermon ; 

49 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, 
even unto the q sea of the plain, under the r springs of 
Pisgah. 

CHAP. V. 

1 The covenant in Horeb. 6 The ten commandments. 27 Jit 
the peopled request Moses receiveth the law from God. 

ND Moses called a all Israel, and said unto them, 
Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments 
which 1 speak in your ears this day. that ye may learn 
them, and t keep and do them. 

2 The Lord our God b made a covenant with us 
in c Horeb. 

3 The Lord made not this covenant with our 
fathers, but d with us, even us, who are all of us here 
alive this day. 

4 The Lord talked with you e face to face in the 
mount, out of the midst of the fire, 

5 (I stood ' between the Lord and you at that time, 
to shew you the word of the Lord ; for ye were 
afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the 
mount ;; saying, 

6 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out 
of the land of Egypt, from the house of t bondage. 

7 Thou shalt have g none other gods before me. 

8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or 
any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or 
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters 
beneath the earth : 

9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor 
serve them : for I the Lord thy God am a jealous 
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the chil- 
dren unto the third and fourth generation of them that 
hate me, 

10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them 
that h love me, and keep my ' commandments. 

1 1 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy 
God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him. guiltless 
that taketh his name in vain. 

12 Keep the sabbath -day to sanctify it, as the Lord 
thy God hath commanded thee. 

13 Six clays thou shalt labour, and do all thy work ; 

1 4 But the seventh day is the " sabbath of the Lord 
thy God : in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor 
thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor 
thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any 
of thy cattle, nor thy ' stranger that is within thy gates ; 
that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest 
as well m as thou. 

15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the 
land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought 
thee out thence, through a mighty hand, and by a 



stretched-out arm : therefore the Lord thy God com- 
manded thee to " keep the sabbath-day. 

16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord 
thy God hath commanded thee ; that thy days may 
be prolonged, and that it may go ° well with thee, in 
the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 

17 Thou shalt not «• kill. 

18 q Neither shalt thou r commit adultery. 

19 Neither shalt thou s steal. 

20 Neither shalt thou bear l false witness against 
thy neighbour. 

21 Neither shalt thou "desire thy neighbour's wife, 
neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his 
field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, 
or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's. 

22 These words the Lord spake unto all your as- 
sembly in the mount, out of the midst of the fire jf 
the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great 
voice ; and he * added no more : and he wrote them 
in two tables y of stone, and delivered them unto me. 

23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice 
out of the midst of the darkness, (for the ''■ mountain 
did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even 
all the " heads of your tribes, and your elders ; 

24 And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath 
shewed us his glory and his greatness, and b we have 
heard his voice out of the midst of the fire : we have 
seen this day that God doth talk with man, and c he 
liveth. 

25 Now therefore d why should we die ? for this 
great e fire will consume us : if we hear the voice of 
the Lord our God any more, then we shall ' die. 

26 For who is there of g all flesh that hath heard 
the voice of the ''living God speaking out of the midst 
of the fire, as we have, and ! lived ? 

27 k Go thou near, and hear all that the Lord our 
God shall say ; and ' speak thou unto us all that the 
Lord our God .shall speak unto the.* : and we will 
hear it, and do it. 

28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words. 
when ye spake unto me ; and the Lord said unto me. 
I have heard the voice of the words of this people. 
which they have spoken unto thee: they have "' well 
said all that they have spoken. 

29 Oh that there were such a heart in them, that 
they would fear me, and keep my commandments 
"always, that it might be well with them, and with 
their children for ever ! 

30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. 

31 But as for thee, stand thou here, by nie, and \ 
will ° speak unto thee all the commandments, and the 
statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach 
them, that they may do them in the land which I give 
them to possess it. 

32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord 
your God hath commanded you : you shall not turn 
aside to the v right hand or to the left. 

33 You shall walk in all '' the ways which the 
Lord your God hath commanded you. that ye may 
live, and thai it may be r well with you, and that ye 
may prolong your days in tlie land which ye shall 
possess.

An exhortation to obedience. DEUTERONOMY. 

That thou mightest b fear the Lord thy God, toll 24 And 




keep all his statutes and his commandments which I 
command thee ; thou, and thy son, and thy son's soiv 
all the days of thy life ; and that thy days may be 
c prolonged. 

3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it, 
that it may be well with thee, and that ye may in- 
crease mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath 

dE*>d.3,R. promised thee, in the land that floweth with d milk 
and honey. 

4 e Hear, O Israel : the Lord our God is f one Lord : 

5 And thou shalt s love the Lord thy God with all 
thine h heart, and with all thy soul, and with ail thy 
s might. 

•6 And these words, which I command thee this 
day, shall be in thine k heart : 

7 And thou shalt t teach them diligently unto thy 
children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in 
thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and 
wdien thou liest down, f and when thou risest up. 

8 And thou shalt bind them for a, sign' upon thine 
hand, and they shall be as 'frontlets between thine eyes. 

9 And thou shalt write them upon the m posts of 
thy house, and on thy gates. 

1 And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall 
have brought thee into the land which he sware unto 
thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to 
give thee great and goodly n cities, which thou build- 
edst not, 

1 1 And houses ° full of all good things, which thou 
filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, 
vineyards and olive-trees, which thou plantedst not ; 
when thou shalt have eaten, and be full ; 

1 2 Then beware lest thou p forget the Lord, which 
brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the 
house of bondage. 

1 3 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and q serve 
him, and shalt r swear by his name. 

1 4 Ye shall not s go after other gods, of the gods of 
the people which are round about you ; 

15 (For the Lord thy God is t a jealous God 
among you,) lest the anger of the Lord thy God be 
kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the 
face of the earth. 

16 Ye shall u not tempt the Lord your God, as ye

statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord our God 
hath b commanded you ? 

21 Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were

and t sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all

1 All communion with the nations is forbidden, 
HEN the Lord tiiy God shall bring thee into

cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, a.Ps. 44, a

naanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the 
Jebusites, b seven nations greater and mightier than 
thou : 

2 And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them 
c before thee ; thou shalt smite them, and utterly de- 
stroy them : thou shalt d make no covenant with them, 
nor shew mercy unto them : 

3 Neither shalt thou make e marriages with them ; 
thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his 
daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 

4 For they will turn away thy son from following 
me, that they may serve f other gods : so will the an- 
ger of the Lord be s kindled against you, and destroy 
thee suddenly. 

5 But thus shall ye deal with them = ye shall de- 
stroy their altars, and break down their t images, and t 
cut down their h groves, and burn their graven images 
with fire.

Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee ; but will lay 
them upon all them that hate thee. 

16 And thou shalt c consume all the people which 
the Lord thy God shall deliver thee ; thine eye shall 
have no t! pity upon them : neither shalt thou serve 
their gods ; for that will be e a snare unto thee. 

17 If thou shalt say f in thine heart, These nations 
are more than I ; how can I g dispossess them 1 

1 8 Thou shalt not be afraid of them ; but shalt well 
h remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pha- 
raoh, and unto all ' Egypt ; 

1 9 The great k temptations which thine eyes saw, 
and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, 
and the stretched-out arm, whereby the Lord thy 
God brought thee out ; so shall the Lord thy God do 
unto all the people of whom thou art afraid. 

20 Moreover, the Lord thy God will send the 
1 hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide 
themselves from thee, be destroyed. 

21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the 
Lord thy God is among m you, a mighty God and 
n terrible. 

22 And the Lord thy God will t put. out those na- 
tions before thee by ° little and little : thou mayest not 
consume them at once, lest the p beasts of the field 
increase upon thee. 

23 But the Lord thy God shall deliver them t unto 
thee, and shall q destroy them with a mighty destruc- 
tion, until they be destroyed. 

24 And he shall deliver r their kings into thine hand, 
and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven : 
there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until 
thou have destroyed them. 

25 The graven images of 8 their gods shall ye l burn 
with fire ; thou shalt not desire the u silver or gold that 
is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared 
therein : for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God. 

26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into 
thine house, lest thou be x a cursed thing like it : but 
thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor 
it ; for it is a cursed thing. 

CHAP. VIII. 

An exhortation to obedience in regard of God's dealing with 
them. 

ALL the commandments which 1 command thee 
this day shall ye ■ observe to do, that ye may 
live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land 
which the Lord sware unto your fathers. 

2 And thou shalt remember b nil the way which the 
Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilder- 
ness, to humble thee, and to c prove thee, ,J to know 
what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep 
his commandments, or no. 

3 And he e humbled thee, and suffered thee to hun- 
ger, and fc(\ thee with r marina, (which thou knewest 
not, neither did thy fathers know.) that he might make 
thee know that man cloth not live by bread •=' only, but 
by every word that proceeded] out of the mouth of the 
Lord "doth man live. 

4 Thy raiment waxed 'not old upon thee, neither 
did thy "loot swell, these forty years. 

5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as 
a man k chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God 
chasteneth thee. 

6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of 
the Lord thy God, to walk ' in his ways, and to fear 
him. 

7 For the Lord thy God m bringeth thee into a good 

R 



land ; a land of brooks of water, of n fountains, and 
depths that spring out of ° valleys and hills ; 

8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-

1 5 Who x led thee through that great and >' terrible 
wilderness, wherein were z fiery serpents, and scor- 
pions, and a drought ; where there was no water : who 
brought thee fortli water out of the h rock of-flint ; 

16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, 
which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble 
thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good 
at thy c latter end ; 

1 7 And thou d say in thine heart, My power, and 
the might of mine hand, hath gotten me this wealth. 

1 8 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God : 

for e it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that |Pro». 10, 
he may establish his covenant, which he sware unto 
thy fathers, as it is this day.

of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land ; but 
for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy God 
doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may 
1 perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy 
fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 

6 Understand therefor^ that the Lord thy God 
giveth thee not this m good land to possess it for thy 
righteousness ; for thou art n a stiff-necked people. 

7 ° Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst 
the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness : from 
the clay that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, 
until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious 
against the Lord. 

8 Also in p Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, 
so that the Lord was angry with you, to have destroyed 
you. 

9 When I was gone up into the '• mount, to receive 
the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant 
which the Lord made with you, then 1 abode in the 
mount forty days and forty nights ; I r neither did eat 
bread nor drink water : 

10 And the Lord delivered unto me s two tables of 
stone, written with the * finger of God : and on them 
was written according to all the words which the Lord 
spake with 3^011 in the mount, out of the midst of fire, 
in the day of the assembly. 

1 1 And it came to pass, at the end of forty days 
and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tables 
of stone, even the tables of the u covenant. 

12 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, get thee 
down quickly from hence ; for thy people which thou 
hast brought forth out of Egypt have x corrupted them- 
selves : they are y quickly turned aside out of the way 
which I commanded them ; they have made them z a 
molten image. 

13 Furthermore, the Lord spake unto me, saying, 
a I hnve seen this people, and, behold, it is b a stiff- 
necked people : 

1 4 c Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and 
blot out their name from under heaven : and 1 will 
make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. 

1 5 So I turned, and came down from the mount, 
and the mount t burned with fire : and the two tables 
of the covenant were in my two hands. 

16 And d I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned 
against the Lord your God, and had made you a 
molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way 
which the Lord had commanded you. 

17 And |j I took the two tables, and cast them out 
of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. 

1 8 e And 1 fell down before the Lord, as at the first, 
f forty days and forty nights : J did neither eat bread 
nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye 
sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, 
to provoke him to anger: 

1 9 For I was s afraid of the anger and hot dis- 
pleasure w herewith the Lord was wroth against you 
to destroy you. But the Lord hearkened unto me at 
that time also. 

20 And the Lord was very angry h with Aaron to 
have destroyed him : and I prayed for Aaron also the 
same time. 

21 And 1 took 'your sin, the calf which ye had 
made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and 
ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust : 
and 1 cast the dust thereof into the k brook that de- 
scended out of the mount. 

22 And at ' Taberah, and at m Massah, and at 



n Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the Lord to wrath. 

23 Likewise, when the Lord sent you from ° Ka- 
desh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which 
I have given you ; then you rebelled against the t com- 
mandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed 
him not, nor hearkened to his voice. 

24 You have been rebellious against the Lord from 
the day that p I knew you. 

25 Thus I q fell down before the Lord forty days 
and forty nights, as I r fell down at the first; because 
the Lord had said he would destroy you. 

26 1 prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O 
Lord God, 6 destroy not * thy people, and thine u in- 
heritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy 
x greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt 
with a mighty hand. 

27 Remember y thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and 
Jacob : look not unto the stubbornness of this people, 
nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin ; 

28 z Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out 
say, Because the Lord was not able to bring them 
into the land which he promised them, and because 
he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them 
in the wilderness. 

29 Yet they are a thy people, and thine inheritance, 
which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and 
by thy stretched-out arm. 

CHAP. X. 

1 God's mercy in restoring the two tables, 6 and in continu- 
ing the priesthood. 
T a that time the Lord said unto me, '' Hew thee 
two tables of stone like unto the first, and c come 
up unto me into the mount, and make thee d an ark of 
wood : 

2 And e I will write on the tables the words that 
were in the first tables, which thou brakest, and thou 
shalt put them in the ark. 

3 And I made an ark o/" f shittim- wood, and hewed 
two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up 
into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. 

4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first 
writing, the t ten commandments, which the Lord 
spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the 
fire, in the g day of the assembly : and the Lord gave 
them unto me. 

5 And I turned myself, and came down from the 
mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made ; 
and h there they be, as the Lord commanded me. 

6 And the children of Israel took their 'journey 
from Beeroth of the children of- k Jaakan to Mosera : 
there Aaron died, and there he was buried ; and Ele- 
azar liis son ministered in the priest's office ' in his 
stead. 

7 From thence they journeyed unto m Gudgodah ; 
and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of 
waters. 

8 At that time the Lord n separated the tribe of 
Levi, ° to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
to stand before the Lord, to minister unto him, and 
p to bless in his name, unto this day. 

9 Wherefore Levi hath q no part nor inheritance 
with his brethren : the Lord is his inheritance, accord- 
ing as the Lord thy God promised him. 

10 And 1 stayed in tiie mount, according to the first 
time, forty days and forty nights ; and the Lord 
hearkened unto me at that time also, and the Lord 
would not destroy thee. 

1 1 And_ the Lord said unto me, Arise, take thy

journey before the people, that they may go in and 
possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to 
give unto them. 

12 And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God 
r require of thee, but to s fear the Lord thy God, to 
walk in all his ' ways, and to "love him, and to serve 
x the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all 
thy soul, 

13 To keep the commandments of the Lord, and 
his statutes, which I command thee this day y for thy 
good ? 

1 4 Behold, the heaven and the z heaven a of heavens 
is the Lord's thy God, the b earth also, with all that 
therein is. 

1 5 Only the Lord had a c delight in thy fathers to 
love them, and he chose their seed after them, even 
you above all people, as it is this day. 

16 Circumcise therefore the a foreskin of your heart, 
and be no more stiff-necked. 

17 For the Lord your God is e God of gods, and 
Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, 
which f regardeth not persons, nor g taketh reward : 

18 He doth execute the h judgment of the father- 
less and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him 
1 food and raiment. 

1 9 k Love ye ; therefore, the stranger : for ye were 
strangers in the land of Egypt. 

20 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God ; him shalt 
thou serve, and to him shalt thou 'cleave, and sw r ear 
by his name. 

21 He is m thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath 
done for thee these n great and terrible things, which 
thine eyes have seen. 

22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with ° three- 
score and ten persons ; and now the Lord thy God 
hath p made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude. 

CHAP. XI. 

18 A careful study is required in God's words. 26 The 
blessing and curse is set before them. 

THEREFORE thou shalt a love the Lord thy 
God, and keep his b charge, and his statutes, and 
his judgments, and his commandments, always. 

2 And know you this day : for / speak not with 
your children which have not known, and which have 
not seen the c chastisement of the Lord your God, his 
d greatness, his mighty hand, and his strctched-out arm. 

3 And his c miracles, and his acts which he did in 
the midst of Egypt, unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, 
and unto all his land ; 

4 And what he did unto the f army of Egypt, unto 
their horses, and to their chariots ; how he made the 
water of (he Red Sea to overflow them as they pur- 
sued after you, and how the Lord hath destroyed them 
unto this day; 

5 And what lie did unto you in the g wilderness, 
until ye came into this place. 

6 And what he did unto b Dathan and Abiram, the 
sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben : how the earth 
opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their 
households, and their tents, and all the substance that 
t was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel : 

7 But ' your eyes have seen all the great acts of the 
Lord which he did. 

8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments 
which I command you this day, that ye may k be 
strong, and go in and ' possess the land whither ye go 
to possess it ; 

9 And that ye may m prolong your days in the land, 



which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give unto 
them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk 
and honey. 

10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, 
is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, 
where thou n sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with 
thy ° foot, as a garden of herbs : 

1 1 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a 
land of hills and v valleys, and drinketh water of the 
'' rain of heaven ; 

12 A land which the Lord thy God t careth for : 
r the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, 
from the beginning of the year even unto the end of 
the year. 

13 And it shall come to pass, if you shall 3 hearken 
diligently unto my commandments which I command 
you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve 
him with all vour heart, and with all your soul, 

1 4 That Twill give you the rain of your land in his 
due season, the l first rain and the latter rain, that 
thou mayest gather in thy u corn, and thy wine, and 
thine oil. 

15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, 
that thou mayest x eat and be full. 

1 6 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not 
y deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, 
and worship them ; 

17 And then the Lord's wrath be kindled against 
you, and he 'shut up the heaven, that there be no 
rain, and that the land yield not her fruit ; and lest ye 
a perish quickly from off the good land which trie 
Lord giveth you. 

18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in 
your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign 
upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets b be- 
tween your eyes. 

19 And ye shall c teach them your children, speak- 
ing of them when thou sittest in thine house, and 
when thou d walkest by the way, when thou liest 
down, and when thou nsest up. 

20 And thou shalt write them upon the e door-posts 
of thine house, and upon thy gates ; 

21 That your f days may be multiplied, and the 
days of your children, in the land which the Lord 
sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of 
heaven upon the earth. 

22 For if ye shall diligently g keep all these com- 
mandments which I command you, to do them, to love 
the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to 
h cleave unto him ; 

23 Then will the Lord ' drive out all these nations 
from before you, and ye shall possess k greater nations 
and mightier than yourselves. 

24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall 
1 tread shall be yours : from the wilderness and Leba- 
non, from the river, (he m river Euphrates, even unto 
the " uttermost sea, shall ° your coast be. 

25 There shall no man be able p to stand before 
you : for the Lord your God shall lay the '■ fear of 
you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye 
shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. 

26 Behold, r I set before you this day a blessing and 
a curse : 

27 A blessing, 9 if ye obey (he commandments ol 
the Lord your God, which I command you this 

day; „, . . 

28 And a curse, l if ye will not obey the command- 
ments of the Lord your God. but turn aside out of die

2 Ye shall b utterly destroy all c the places wherein

3 What may and what may not be eaten, 4 of beasts, 9 of 
fshes, 11 of fowls. 
E are the a children of the Lord your God : ye 
shall b not cut yourselves, nor make any c bald- 
ness between your eyes for the dead : 

2 For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy 
God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to d be a peculiar 
people unto himself, above all the nations that are 
upon the earth. 

3 IF Thou shalt not eat any e abominable thing. 

4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat ; the ox, 
the sheep, and the goat, 

5 The f hart, and the g roebuck, and the fallow- 
deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the 
h wild ox, and the chamois. 

6 And eveiy beast that 'parteth the hoof, and 
cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the 
cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat. 

7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that 
chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; 
as the k camel, and the hare, and the coney : for they 
chew the cud, but divide not the hoof: therefore they 
are unclean unto you. 

8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet 
cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you : ye shall 
not eat of then- flesh, nor touch their dead carcase. 

9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters : 
all that have ' fins and scales shall ye eat : 

10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may 
not eat ; it is m unclean unto you. 

1 1 Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 

12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: 
the D eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 

13 And the glede, and the kite, and the "vulture 
after his kind, 

14 And every raven after his kind, 

15 And the owl, and the night-hawk, and the 
cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind, 

16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 

17 And the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the 
cormorant, 

1 8 And the p stork, and the heron after her kind, 
and the lapwing, and the bat. 

19 And every creeping thing that q fiieth is unclean 
unto you : they shall not be eaten. 

20 But of all r clean fowls ye may eat. 

21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that s dieth of it- 
self: thou shalt give it unto the l stranger that is in thy 
gates, that he may eat it ; or thou raayest sell it unto 
an alien : for thou art a u holy people unto the Loud thy 
God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. 

22 H Thou shalt x truly tithe all the increase of thy 
seed, that the field bringeth forth t year by year. 

23 And thou shalt eat > before the Lord thy God, in 
the place which he shall choose to place his name there, 
the 'tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, 
and the firstlings of thy herds, and of thy flocks; that 
thou mavest learn to '" fear the Lord thy Gc-i t always.

24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that 
thou art not able to carry it ; or if the place be too far 
from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to 
set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath 
blessed thee ; 

25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and b bind 
up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the 
place which the Lord thy God shall choose : 

26 And thou shalt c bestow that money for what- 
soever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, 
or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy 
soul t desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the 
Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine 
d household, 

27 And the Levite that is within thy gates ; thou 
shalt e not forsake him ; for he hath no part nor in- 
heritance with thee. 

28 At the f end of three years thou shalt bring forth 
all the tithe of ihine increase the same year, and shalt 
lay it up within thy gates : 

29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor 
inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fa- 
therless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, 
shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied ; that the 
Lord thy God may g bless thee in all the work of thine 
hand which thou doest. 

CHAP. XV. 

1 The seventh year a year of release for the poor. 1 9 Jill 
firstling males of cattle to be sanctified unto the Lord. 

AT the a end of every seven years thou shalt make 
b a release. 

2 And this is the manner of the release : Every 
t creditor that lendeth aught unto his neighbour shall 
release it ; he shall not exact zif of his neighbour, or of 
his brother ; because it is called the c Lord's release. 

3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again : but 
that which is thine with thy brother, thine hand shall 
release ; 

4 Save when there shall be no poor among you ; 
for the Lord shall d greatly bless thee in the land 
which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inherit- 
ance to possess it : 

5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of 
the Lord thy God, to observe to do all these com- 
mandments which I command thee this day. 

6 For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he pro- 
mised thee : and thou shalt e lend unto many nations, 
but thou shalt not borrow ; and thou shalt f reign over 
many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. 

7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy 
brethren within any of thy gates, in thy land which 
the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt £ not harden 
thy heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother ; 

8 But thou shalt h open thine hand wide unto him, 
and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in 
that which he wanteth. 

9 Beware that there be not t a thought in thy wick- 
ed heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of re- 
lease, is at hand; and thine 'eye be evil against thy 
poor brother, and thou givest him nought ; and he cry 
unto the Lord against thee, and it k be sin unto thee. 

10 Thou shalt surely give lum, and 'thine heart 
shall not he grieved when thou givest unto him : be- 
cause that for this thing the Lord thy God shall 
m bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou put- 
test thine hand unto. 

1 1 For the poor shall n never cease out of the land : 
therefore F command thee, saving, Thou shalt open 



thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to 
thy needy, in the land. 

12 IT And if thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a He- 
brew woman, be ° sold unto thee, and serve thee six 
years, then in the seventh year thou shalt let him p go 
free from thee. 

13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, 
thou shalt not let him go away empty : 

1 4 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, 
and out of thy floor, and out of thy wine-press : of 
that wherewith the Lord thy God hath q blessed thee 
thou shalt give unto him. 

15 And thou shalt remember that thou r wast a 
bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy 
God redeemed thee : therefore I command thee this 
thing to-day. 

16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, s T will not 
go away from thee, (because he loveth thee and thine 
house, because he is well with thee,) 

17 Then thou shalt take * an awl, and thrust it 
through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy 
servant t for ever : And also unto thy u maid-servant 
thou shalt do likewise. 

18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou 
sendest him away free from thee ; for he hath been 
worth a x double hired servant to thee, in serving thee 
six years : and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in 
all that thou doest. 

1 9 IT All the firstling males that come of thy herd 
and of thy flock thou shalt y sanctify unto the Lord 
thy God : thou shalt do no work with the firstling of 
thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep : 

20 L Thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God 
year by year, in the place which the Lord shall 
a choose, thou and thy household. 

21 And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be 
b lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt 
not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God. 

22 Thou shalt eat it c within thy gates : the un- 
clean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the 
roebuck, and as the hart. 

23 Only thou shalt not eat the d blood thereof; 
thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water. 

CHAP. XVI. 

1 The feast of the passover, 9 of weeks, 13 of tabernacles. 

OBSERVE the month of a Abib, and b keep the 
passover unto the Lord thy God : for in the 
month of Abib the Lord thy God brought thee forth 
out of Egypt c by night. 

2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the '' passover unto 
the Lord thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the 
place which the Lord shall choose to place his name 
there. 

3 Thou shalt eat no e leavened bread with it ; 
seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, 
even the f bread of affliction ; (for thou earnest forth 
out of the land of Egypt in haste ;) that thou mayest 
remember the day when thou earnest forth out of the 
land of Egypt all the days of thy life. 

4 And there shall be no leavened bread g seen with 
thee in all thy coasts seven days ; neither shall there 
any thing of the flesh which thou sacrificedst the first 
day at even, remain all night until the morning. 

5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within 
any of the gates, which the Lord thy God giveth 
thee: 

6 But at the place which the Lord thy God shall 
choose to place his name in. there thou shalt sacrifice

priests' and Levites* inheritance. DEUTERONOMY. 

1 8 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne 
of his kingdom, that he shall write him a k copy of this 
law in a book out of that which is before the priests 
the Levites : 

19 And ' it shall be with him, and he shall m read 
therein all the days of his life : that he may learn to 
fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this 
law and these statutes, to do them : 

20 That his heart be " not lifted up above his 
brethren, and that lie turn not aside from the com- 
mandment, to the right hand, or to the left : to the 
end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, 
and his children, in the midst of Israel. 

CHAP. XVIII. 

1 The Lord is the priests' 1 and Levites'' inheritance. 3 The 
priest's due. 1 5 Christ the prophet is to be heard. 

THE priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, 
shall have a no part nor b inheritance with Israel : 
they shall eat the offerings of the Lord c -made by fire, 
and his inheritance. 

2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among 
their brethren : the Lord is their inheritance, as he 
hath said unto them. 

3 And this shall be the priest's due from the peo- 
ple, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox 
or sheep ; and they shall give unto the priest the 
shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. 

4 The d first-fruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and 
of thy oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt 
thou give him. 

5 e For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of 
all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the 
Lord, him and his sons for ever. 

6 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out 
of all Israel, where he f sojourned, and come with all 
the desire of his mind unto the place which the Lord 
shall g choose ; 

7 Then he shall minister in the name of the Lord 



his God, '' as all his brethren the Levites do, which 
stand there before the Lord. 

8 They shall have like portions to eat, besides 
T that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. 

9 IT When thou art come into the land which the 
Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do 
after the abominations of those nations. 

1 There shall not be found among you any one 
that maketh his son or his daughter to ' pass through 
the fire, or that k useth divination, or an ' observer of 
times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar 
spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 

12 For all that do these things are an abomination 
unto the Lord : and because of these abominations 
the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before 
thee. 

1 3 Thou shall be m perfect with the Lord thy God 

14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess 
hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners : 
but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath " not suffered 
thee so to do. 

Id H The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee °a 
Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy p brethren, q like 
unto me ; unto r him ye shall hearken ; 

16 According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord 
thy God in s Horeb, in the day of the l assembly, say 
ing, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my 
God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that 
I die not.

20 But the prophet which shall presume to speak a c d ^^\ 2 f 
word in my name which I have e not commanded him Acts 3, 23. 
to speak, or that shall speak in the name of f other 
gods, even that prophet g shall die. 

2 1 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we 
know the word which the Lord hath not spoken ? 

22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the 
Lord, if the thing h follow not, nor come to pass, that 
is the thing which the Lord ' hath not spoken, but the 
prophet hath spoken it presumptuously : thou shalt 
not be afraid of him.

2 The cities of refuge. 15 Two witnesses at the least. 
16 The punishment of a false witness. 

HEN the Lord thy God hath a cut off the na- ach. 12,20. 
tions, whose land the Lord thy God giveth 
thee, and thou t succeedest them, and dwellest in their 
cities, and in their houses ; 

2 Thou shalt separate b three cities for thee in the chap. 9 
midst of thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth j? ™* 
thee to possess it. chap. 4, 41. 

3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the ^ 20 7 
coasts of thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth 
thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may 
flee thither. 

4 And this is the case of the slayer which shall flee 
thither, that he may live. Whoso killeth his neigh- 
bour ignorantly, whom he c hated not t in time past ; c Num. 33, 

5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his ^i eb _f rom 
neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke yesterday 
with the axe to cut down the tree, and the t head "^j*)U 
slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neigh- + Heb. ir„n 
bour, that he die ; he shall flee unto one of those f l %ff t h he 
cities, and d live : wood, and 

6 Lest the avenger of blood pursue the slayer, -^f^ r 
while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the d^Num. 35, 
way is long, and slay him ; whereas he was e not 
worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in 
time past. 

7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt 
separate three cities for thee. 

8 And if the Lord thy God enlarge thy coast, as 

he hath sworn unto f thy fathers, and give thee all the 'Gen. 15. 7, 
land which he promised to give unto thy fathers ; 

9 If thou shalt keep all 6 these commandments to do 
them, which I command thee this day, to love tf^e 
Lord thy God, and to walk ever in his ways ; then 
shalt thou add three cities more for thee, besides these 
three ; 

10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land 
which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inherit- 
ance, and so blood be upon thee. 

1 1 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in 
wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him 
t mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these 
cities : 

12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch 
him h thence, and deliver him into the hand of the i^ 11 ™/, 35 ' 
avenger of blood, that he may die. Fw.28,i7.

The priest's exhortation to encourage the people to battle. 

WHEN thou a goest out to battle against thine 
enemies, and seest horses and chariots, and a 
people more than thou, be not afraid of them : for the 
b 2 chr. 13, Lord thy God is b with thee, which brought thee up 
12. & 32, 7, out of the j and of Egypt. 

2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the 
battle, that c the priest shall approach, and speak unto 
the people, 

3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, You 
approach this day unto battle against your enemies : 
let not your hearts t faint ; fear not, and do not 
t tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them : 

4 For the Lord your God is he that goe-th with you, 
to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. 

5 And the d officers shall speak unto the people, 
saying, What man is there that hath built a new 
house, and hath e not dedicated it ? let him go and 
return to his house, f lest he die in 
s another man dedicate it. 

6 And what man is he that hath 
yard, and hath t not yet eaten of it ? 
and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, 
and another man eat of it. 

7 And what man is there that h hath betrothed a 
wife, and hath not taken her ? let him go and return 
unto his house, lest he die in battle, and another man 
take her. 

8 And the officers shall 'speak further unto the 
people, and they shall say, What man is there that is 
fearful and faint-hearted ? let him go and return unto 

Heb. melt, his house, lest his brethren's heart t faint as well as 
his heart. 

9 And it shall be, when the officers have made an 
end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make 
captains of the armies t to lead the people. 

10 IT When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight 
against it, then proclaim peace unto it.

HE that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy

2 * A bastard shall not enter into the congregation 
of the Lord ; even to his tenth generation shall he 
not enter into the congregation of the Lord. 

3 An b Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into 
the congregation of the Lord ; even to their tenth 
generation shall they not enter into the congregation 
of the Lord c for ever : 

4 Because they d met you not with bread and with 
water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt 5 
and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of 
Beor, of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to e curse thee. 

5 Nevertheless the Lord thy God would not hearken 
unto Balaam •, but the Lord thy God turned the curse 
into a blessing unto thee, because the Lord thy God 
loved thee. 

6 Thou shalt f not seek their peace nor their pros- 
perity all thy days for ever. 

7 Thou shalt not abhor an E Edomite ; for he is thy 
h brother : thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian, because 
thou wast a stranger in his land. 

8 The children that are begotten of them shall 
enter into the congregation of the Lord in their ' third 
generation. 

9 IF When the host goeth forth against thine ene- 
mies, then keep thee from every k wicked thing. 

1 If there be among you any man that is not clean 
by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him ' by night, 
then shall he go abroad out of the m camp, he shall 
not come within the camp : 

1 1 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he 
shall n wash himself with water : and when the sun is 
down, he shall come into the camp again. 

12 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, 
whither thou shalt go forth abroad : 

13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon ; 
and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, 
thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover 
that which ° cometh from thee : 

14 For the Lord thy God p walketh in the midst 
of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine 



enemies q before thee ; therefore shall thy camp be 
holy ; that he see no unclean thing in thee, and r turn 
away from thee. 

15 IF Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the 
servant which is s escaped from his master unto thee : 

16 He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in 
that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, 
where it liketh him best : thou shalt * not oppress him. 

1 7 There shall be no u whore of the daughters of 
Israel, nor a x sodomite of the sons of Israel. 

1 8 Thou shalt not bring the y hire of a z whore, or 
the price of a a dog, into the house of the Lord thy 
God for any vow : for even b both these are abomina- 
tion unto the Lord thy God. 

1 9 II Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy bro- 
ther ; c usury of money, usury of victuals, usuiy of 
any thing that is lent upon usury. 

20 Unto a stranger d thou mayest lend upon usury ; 
but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury : 
that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all that thou 
settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest 
to possess it. 

21 IT When thou shalt e vow a vow unto the Lord 
thy God, thou shalt not slack to f pay it : for the Lord

be E sin in thee. 

22 But if thou shalt h forbear to vow, it shall be 
'no sin in thee. 

23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt 
k keep and perform ; even a ' free-will-offering, accord-

WHEN a man hath taken a wife, and a married 
her, and it come to pass that she find no favour 
in his eyes, because he hath found some t uncleanness 
in her ; || then let him write her a bill of t divorcement, 
and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 

2 And when she is departed out of his house, she 
may go and be b another man's wife. 

3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write 
her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, 
and sendeth her out of his house ; or if the latter hus- 
band die, which took her to be his wife ; 

4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may 
c not take her again to be his wife, after that she is 
defiled ; for that is abomination before the Lord : and 
thou shalt not d cause the land to sin, which the Lord 
thy God giveth theeyor an inheritance. 

5 IT When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall 
e not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with 
any business : but he shall be free at home one year, 
and shall f cheer up his wife which he hath taken. 

6 IT No man shall take the nether or the upper « mill- 
stone to pledge: for he taketh a mail's life to pledge. 

7 ir If a man be found stealing h any of his brethren 
of the children of Israel, and maketh 'merchandise 
of him, or selleth him ; then that thief shall die; and 
thou shalt put evil away from among you.

and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there 
with a e few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, 
and populous ; 

6 And the Egyptians f evil -entreated us, and af- 
flicted us, and laid upon us s hard bondage. 

7 And when we h cried unto the Lord God of our 
fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and ' looked on 
our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression : 

8 And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt 
with a mighty hand, and with an k outstretched aim, 
and with great ' terribleness, and with signs, and with 
wonders ; 

9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath 
given us this land, even a land that floweth with m milk 
and honey. 

10 And now, behold, I have brought the n first- 
fruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, hast given me. 
And thou shalt ° set it before the Lord thy God, and 
worship before the Lord thy God : 

1 1 And thou shalt p rejoice in every q good thing 
which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee, and 
unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the 
stranger that is among you. 

12 IT When thou hast made an end of tithing all 
the tithes of thine r increase the third s year, which is 
the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, 
the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they 
may eat within thy gates, and be filled.; 

13 Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, 
I have brought away the hallowed tilings out of mine 
house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and 
unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, 
according to all thy commandments, which thou hast 
commanded me : I l have not transgressed thy com- 
mandments, neither have 1 forgotten them : 

14 I have not eaten thereof in my u mourning, 
neither have I taken away aught thereof for any un- 
clean use, nor given aught thereof for the x dead : but 
I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, 
and have done according to all that thou hast com- 
manded me. 

15 y Look down from thy holy habitation, from 
heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land 
which thou hast given us, as thou svvarest unto our 
fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 

16 IT z This day the Lord thy God hath command- 
ed thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou 
shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, 
and with all thy soul. 

1 7 Thou hast a avouched the Lord this day to be 
thy God, and to walk in his b ways, and to keep his 
statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, 
and to c hearken unto his voice : 

18 And the Lord hath avouched thee this day to 
be his d peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, 
and that thou shouldest keep all his command- 
ments ; 

19 And to e make thee high above all nations which 
he hath made, in f praise, and in g name, and in 
h honour; and that thou mayest be a ' holy people 
unto the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken.

manded the people, saying, Keep h nil the com-

2 And it shall he, on ' the day when you shall pass 
over Jordan unto the land which the Lord thy God

giveth thee, that thou shalt ll set thee up great stones, 



and plaster them with ° plaster: 

3 And thou shalt write upon them r all the words 
of this law, when thou ait passed over, that thou 
mayest go in unto the land which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey ; 
as the Lord God of thy lathers hath promised thee. 

4 Therefore it shall he, when ye be gone over Jor- 
dan, thai ye shall set up these stones, which 1 com- 
mand you this day, in mount E Ebal, and thou shalt 
plaster them with plaster. 

5 And there shalt thou build h an altar unto the 
Lord thy God, an altar of stones : thou shalt not lift 
up any ' iron tool upon them. 

6 Thou shalt build the altar of the Lord thy God 
of k whole stones ; and thou shalt offer ' burnt-offer- 
ings thereon unto the Lord thy God : 

7 And thou shalt <3ffer m peace-offerings, and shalt 
" eat there, and rejoice before the Lord thy God. 

8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the 
words of this law very ° plainly. 

9 IF And Moses, and the priests the Levites, spake 
unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O 
Israel ; This day thou art become the p people of the 
Lord thy God. 

10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the Lord 
thy God, and q do his commandments and his statutes, 
which I command thee this day. 

1 1 And Moses charged the people the same day, 
saying, 

12 These shall stand upon mount ' Gerizim to 
bless the people," when ye are come over Jordan ; 
Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, ami 
Joseph, and Benjamin. 

1 3 And these . shall stand upon mount Ebal to 
curse ; s Reuben, t Gad, and Asher, and u Zebulun, 
x Dan, and Naphtali. 

1 4 And the y Levites shall speak, and say unto ail 
the men of Israel with a loud voice, 

15 z Cursed be the man that maketh any a graven 
or molten image, b an abomination unto the Lord, 
the work of the hands of the c craftsman, and putteth 
it in a d secret place. And all the people shall answer

16 Cursed be he that e setteth light by his father or 
his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 

17 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's 
f landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen. 

18 Cursed be he that maketh the g blind to wander 
out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen. 

19 Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of 
the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the 
people shall say, Amen. 

20 Cursed be he that h lieth with his father's wife ; 
because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the 
people shall say, Amen. 

21 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of

plucked from off the land whither thou goest to pos- 
sess it. 

64 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all peo- 
ple, from the one end of the earth even unto the other ; 
and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither 
thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 

65 And among these nations shalt thou find " no 
ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest : but 
the Lord shall give thee there a ° trembling heart, 
and failing of eyes, and p sorrow of mind : 

66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee ; 
and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none 
assurance of thy life : 

67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it 
were even ! and at even thou shalt say, Would God 
it were morning ! for the fear of thine heart wherewith 
thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which 
thou shalt see. 

68 And the Lord shall bring thee into q Egypt 
again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto 
thee, Thou shalt see it no more again : and there ye 
shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and 
bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. 

CHAP. XXIX. 

2 Moses e.xhorteth them to obedience, by the memory of the 
works they have seen. 29 Secret things belong unto God. 

THESE are the words of the covenant, which the 
Lord commanded Moses to make with the 
children of Israel in the land of a Moab, besides the 
covenant which he made with them in b Horeb. 

2 IT And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto 
them, Ye have c seen all that the Lord did before 
your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and 
unto all his servants, and unto all his land ; 

3 The great d temptations which thine eyes have 
seen, the signs, and those great miracles : 

4 Yet the Lord hath e not given you a heart to per- 
ceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. 

5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness : 
your clothes are not waxen old r upon you, and thy 
shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. 

6 Ye have not eaten g bread, neither have you 
drunk h wine or strong drink : that ye might know 
that I am the Lord your God. 

7 And when ye came unto this place, ' S; Son the 
king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came 
out against us unto battle, and we smote them: 

8 And we took their land, and gave it. for an inhe- 
ritance, unto the k Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and 
to the half tribe of Manasseh.

CHAP. XXX. 

1 Great mercies promised unto the repentant. 15 Life and 
death are set before them. 
ND it shall come to pass, when all these things 
are come upon thee, the * blessing and the curse, 
which I have set before thee, and thou shalt b call 
them to mind among all the nations whither the Lord 
thy God hath driven thee, 

2 And shalt c return unto the Lord thy God, and 
shalt obey his voice according to all that I command 
thee this day, thou, and thy children ; wim all thine 
heart, and with all thy soul ; 

3 That then the Lord thy God will d turn thy 
captivity, and have c compassion upon thee, and will 
return and r gather thee from ali the nations, whither 
the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. 

4 If any of thine be fc driven out unto the outmost 
parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God 
gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee : 

5 And the Lord toy God will bring thee into the 
land which thy fathers h possessed, and thou shalt 
possess it ; and he will do thee good, and multiply 
thee above thy fatheis. 

6 And trie Lord thy God will ' circumcise thine 
heart, and the heart of thy seed, k to love the Lord 
thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, 
that thou mayest live. 

7 And the Lord thy God will put all these curses 
upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, 
which persecuted thee. 

8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the 
Lord, and do all his commandments, which I com- 
mand thee this day. 

9 And the Lord thy God will make thee ' plen- 
teous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy 
body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of 
thy land, for good : for the Lord will again m rejoice 
over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fatheis ; 

10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the 
Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his 
statutes which are written in this book of the law, and 
if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine 
heart, and with all thy soul. 

1 1 For " this commandment which I command thee 
this day, it is ° not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 

12 It as not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, 
p Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto 
us, that we may hear it, and do it ? 

1 3 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest 
say, Who shall q go over the sea for us, and bring it 
unto us, that we may hear it, and do it ? 

14 But T the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy 
mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest 3 do it. 

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and 
good, and death and evil ; 

16 In that I command thee this day to love the 
Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to 'keep his 
commandments and his statutes and his judgments, 
that thou mayest live and multiply : and the Lord thy 
God shall bless thee m the land whither thou goest to 
possess it.

18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely 
x perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon 
the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to 
possess it. 

19 y I call heaven and earth to record this day 
against you, that I have set before you life and death, 
blessing and cursing : therefore ! choose life, that both 
thou and thy seed may live : 

20 That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and 
that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest 
cleave unto him ; (for he is a thy life, and the length 
of thy days ;) that thou mayest dwell in the land 
which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, 
to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. 

CHAP. XXXI. 

1 Moses encourageth the people, and Joshua : 9 He deliver- 
eth the law unto the priests. 14 God giveth a charge to 
Joshua. 

AND Moses went, and spake these words unto all 
Israel. 

2 And he said unto them, I am a a hundred and 
twenty years old this day : I can no more b go out 
and come in : also the Lord hath said unto me, 
c Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 

3 The Lord thy God, u he will go over before thee, 
and he will destroy these nations from before thee, 
and thou shalt possess them : and e Joshua, he shall 
go over before thee, as the Lord hath said. 

4 And the Lord shall do unto them as he did to 
Sihon and to Og, kings of the f Amorites, and unto 
the land of them whom he destroyed. 

5 And the Lord shall give them up before your 
face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the 
commandments which I have g commanded you 

6 h Be strong and of a ' good courage, fear not, nor 
be afraid of them : for the Lord thy God, he it is that 
doth go k with thee ; he will ' not fail thee, nor for- 
sake thee. 

7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto 
him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good 
courage : for thou must go with this people unto the 
land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to 
give them ; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. 

8 And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee ; 
he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither for- 
sake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. 

9 IT And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto 
the m priests the sons of Levi, which n bare the ark of 
the covenant of the Lord, and unto all the ° elders of 
Israel. 

10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the 
end of every p seven years, in the solemnity of the 
year of q release, in the r feast of tabernacles, 

11 When all Israel is come to appear before the 
Lord thy God in the place which he shall ' choose, 
thou shalt l read this law before all Israel in their 
H hearing. 

I 2 Gather the people together, men, and women, and 
x children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, 
that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear 
the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words 
of this law ; 

13 And that their children, which have not known 
any thing, may y hear, and learn to fear the Lord your 
God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over 
Jordan to possess it.

He receiveth a charge. §-c 

14 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thy 
days approach that thou must die : call Joshua, and 
present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congrega- 
tion, that I may z give him a charge. And Moses and 
Joshua went and presented themselves in the taber- 17 - 
nacle of the congregation. Johu 1 

15 And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a 
a pillar of a cloud : and the pillar of the cloud stood 
over the door of the tabernacle. 

16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou 
shalt t sleep with thy h fathers ; and this people will 
c rise up, and go a d whoring after the gods of the 
strangers of the land whither they go to be among 
them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant 
which I have made with them. 

17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in Lev - 20 > 5 - 
that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my 

face from them, and they shall be e devoured, and e ch. 7, 15. 
many evils and troubles shall t befall them ; so that f "g' ^' 3 " 
they will say in that day, Are not these evils come + Heb* 
upon us, because our God is not among us ? -^ '9"% 

1 8 And I will surely hide my face in that day, for 
all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that 
they are turned unto other gods. 

19 Now therefore write ye f this song for you, and fPj.32,1.2. 
teach it the children of Israel : put it in E their mouths, k i: *- 4 
that this song may be a witness for ine against the 
children of Israel. 

20 For when I shall have brought them into the 
land which I sware unto their fathers, that flovveth 
with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and 
filled themselves, and waxen '' fat ; then will they turn 
unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, 
and break my covenant. 

21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and 
troubles are befallen them, that this song shall lestifs 
against them as a witness ; for it shall not be forgot- 
ten out of the mouths of their seed : for ' I know their 
imagination which they go about, even now, before 1 
have brought them into the land which I sware. 

22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, 
and taught it the children of Israel. 

23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, 
and said, k Be strong and of a good courage : for ' thou 
shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which 
I sware unto them : and I will be with thee. 

24 IF And it came to pass, when Moses had made 
an end of writing the words of this law in a book, 
until they were finished, 

25 That Moses commanded the m Levites, which m Num. 4, 
bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, josh.3,6,7 

26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the &6, 12 
" side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your 
God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. 

27 For 1 know thy rebellion, and thy "stiff neck : 
behold, while I am ''yet alive with you this day ye 
have been rebellious against the Lord ; and how much 
more after my death ? 

28 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and 
your officers, that 1 may speak these words in then- 
ears, and "call heaven and earth to record against qeh.so.iH 
them. 

29 For 1 know that r after my death ye will utterly r Josh. 21 
corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the * way w huh ^ . Mai) 
I have commanded you ; and ' evil will befall you in 5< h. 11, 13 
the latter days ; because ye will do evil in the sight of \^ v 2,, > 
the Lord, to provoke him to anger through the work t h! 20, »&.

God's mercy and jiiilgnw.nt. 

30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congre- 
gation of Israel the words of this song, until they were 
ended. 

CHAP. XXXII. 

1 Moses 1 song, which settelh forth God's mercy and vengeance : 
48 God sendeth him vp to mount Nebo, to see the land. 
IVE ear. O ye heavens, and I will speak ; and 
hear, O a earth, the words of my mouth. 

2 My doctrine shall b drop as the rain, my speech 
shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the ten- 
der herb, and as the c showers upon the grass : 

3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord : 
d ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 

4 He is the e Rock, his f work is perfect ; for all his 
ways are judgment: a God of truth and s without 
iniquity, just and right is he. 

5 They have corrupted themselves; their spot is 
not the spot h of his children : they are a perverse and 
' crooked generation. 

6 Do ye thus k requite the Lord ? O foolish people 
and unwise ! is not he ' thy father that hath m bought 
thee 1 hath he not made thee, and established thee ? 

7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of 
many generations : ask thy father, and he will n shew 
thee ; thy elders, and they will tell thee ; 

8 When the Most High ° divided to the nations their 
inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he 
p set the bounds of the people according to the number 
of the children of Israel. 

9 For the Lord's q portion is his people ; Jacob is 
the lot of his inheritance. 

10 r He found him in a 'desert land, and in the 
waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he 
instructed him, he kept him as the l apple of his 
eye. 

1 1 As an u eagle stirreth up her nest, nuttcrelh over 
her young, spreadeth abroad her x wings, laketh them, 
beareth them on her Avings ; 

12 So the Lord y alone did z lead him, and there was 
no strange god with him. 

13 He made him ride on the a high places of the 
earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields ; and 
he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil 
out of the flinty rock ; 

1 4 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of 
lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, 
with the fat of kidneys of wheat ; and thou didst drink 
the b pure blood of the grape. 

1 5 But c Jeshurun li waxed fat, and e kicked : thou 
art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered 
with fatness : then he forsook God which made him, 
and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 

16 They provoked him to f jealousy with strange 
gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 

1 7 They sacrificed unto g devils, not to God , to 
gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came 
newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 

1 8 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art h unmind- 
ful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. 

1 9 And when the Lord saw it, he ' abhorred them, 
because of the provoking of his sons, and of his 
daughters. 

20 And he said, I will k hide my face from them, 
I will see what their end shall be : for they are a very 
froward generation, children in whom is no faith. 

21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which 
is 'not God ; they have provoked me to anger with 
their vanities : and I will move them to jealousy with

those which are not a people

22 For n a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall 
burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth 
with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the 
mountains. 

23 I will heap mischiefs upon them : I will spend 
mine ° arrows upon them. 

24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured 
with burning heat, and with bitter destruction : I will 
also send the p teeth of beasts upon them, with the 
poison of q serpents of the dust. 

25 The r sword without, and terror within, shall 
destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suck- 
ling also, with the man of gray hairs. 

26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would 
make the remembrance of them to cease from among 
men : 

27 s Were it not that I feared the wrath of the ene- 
my, lest their adversaries should ' behave themselves 
strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, 
and the Lord hath not done all this. 

28 For they are a nation u void of counsel, neither u Jer. 4, 22. 
is there any understanding in them. 

29 x Oh that they were wise, that they understood 
this, that the)' would consider their y latter end ! 

30 How should z one chase a thousand, and two 
put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had a sold 
them, and the Lord had shut them up ? 

3 1 For their rock is not b as our Rock, even our 
enemies themselves being c judges. 

32 For their d vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of d isa. 1, ia 
the fields of Gomorrah : their e grapes are grapes of e lsa - 5 > 4 - 
gall, their clusters are bitter : 

33 Their f wine is the s poison of dragons, and the 
cruel venom of asps. 

34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and h sealed 
up among my ' treasures ? 

35 To me belongeth k vengeance, and recompense ; 
their foot shall ' slide in m due time : for the day of 
their calamity 'is at hand, and the things that shall 
come upon them "make haste. 

36 For the Lord shall judge his people, ° and re- <>Amos7,2, 
pent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their 

power is gone, and there is none shut up or left. 

37 And he shall say, p Where are their gods, their p J«"'g. 10,

38 Which did q eat the fat of their sacrifices, and q Hos. 2, u. 
drank the wine of their drink-offerings ? let them rise 

up and help you, and be your protection. 

39 See now that I, T even I, am he, and there is no risa.43,25. 
god with me : I s kill, and I make alive ; I wound, and sl • Sam - ^ 
I heal : neither is there any that can deliver out of my r cv . 1, w. 
hand. 

40 For I * lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I 
live for ever. 

41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand 
take hold on u judgment, I will render vengeance to 
mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. 

42 I will make mine arrows x drunk with blood, 
and my sword shall devour flesh ; and that with the 
blood of the slain and of the captives, from the begin- 
ning of y revenges upon the enemy. 

43 Rejoice, O ye nations, z with his people ; for he 
will avenge a the blood of his servants, and will render

c song in the ears of the people, he, and d Hoshea the 
son of Nun. 

45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these 
words to all Israel : 

46 And he said unto them, e Set your hearts unto 
all the words which I testify among you this day, 
which ye shall command your children to observe to 
do, all the words of this law. 

47 For it is f not a vain thing for you ; because it is 
E your life : and through this thing ye shall prolong 
your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to 
possess it. 

48 IT And the Lord h spake unto Moses that self- 
same day, saying, 

49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto 
mount ' Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is 
over against Jericho ; and behold the land of Canaan, 
which I give unto the children of Israel for a pos- 
session : 

50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and 
be k gathered unto thy people ; as Aaron thy brother 
died in ' mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people : 

51 Because ye m trespassed against me among the 
children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, 
in the wilderness of Zin ; because ye sanctified n me 
not in the midst of the children of Israel. 

52 Yet thou shalt ° see the land before thee ; but 
thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give 
the children of Israel. 

CHAP. XXXIII. 

2 The majesty of God. 6 The blessings of the twelve tribes. 
26 The excellency of Israel. 

AND this is the a blessing, wherewith Moses the 
man of God blessed the children of Israel before 
his death. 

2 And he said, The Lord came from b Sinai, and 
rose up from c Seir unto them ; he shined forth from 
mount d Paran, and he came with ten thousands of 
saints : from his right hand went a fiery law for them. 

3 Yea, he loved e the people : f all his saints are in 
thy hand : and they g sat down at thy feet ; every one 
shall h receive of thy words. 

4 Moses commanded us a law, even the ' inherit- 
ance of the congregation of Jacob. 

5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of 
the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered to- 
gether. 

6 Let k Reuben live, and not die ; and let not his 
men be few. 

7 And this is the blessing of ' Judah : and he said, 
Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and m bring him unto 
his people : let his hands be n sufficient for him ; and 
be thou a help to him from his enemies. 

8 And of Levi he said, Let thy ° Thummim and 
thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove 
at Massah, and with whom thou didst p strive at the 
waters of Meribah ; 

9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, 1 
have q not seen him-, neither did he acknowledge his 
hrethren, nor knew his own children : for they have 
observed thy word, and kept thy covenant. 

10 They shall ' teach Jacob thy judgments, and 
Israel thy law : they shall put s incense before thee, 
and whole burnt-sacrifice upon thine altar. 

1 1 Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the 
1 work of his hands : smite through the loins of them 
that u rise against him, and of them that hate him, 
that they rise not again. 



The blessings of the 

12 And of x Benjamin he said, The beloved of the 
Lord shall dwell in safety by him ; and the LORD 
shall cover y him all the day long, and he shall dwell 
between his z shoulders. 

13 And of a Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be 
his land, for the b precious things of heaven, for the 
c dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, 

14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the 
sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, 

1 5 And for the chief things of the d ancient moun- 
tains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, 

16 And for the precious things of the earth and c ful- 
ness thereof, and for the f good will of him that s dwelt 
in the bush : let the blessi?ig come upon the head of 
Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was 
h separated from his brethren. 

17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and 
his horns are like the horns of ' unicorns : with them 
he shall k push the people together to the ends of the 
earth : and they are the ' ten thousands of Ephraim, 
and they are the thousands of Manasseh. 

18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, m in 
thy going out ; and, n Issachar, in thy tents. 

19 They shall ° call the people unto the mountain ; 
there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness : for 
they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of 
treasures hid in the sand. 

20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that p en- 
largeth Gad : he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the 
arm with the crown of the head. 

21 And he q provided the first part for himself, be- 
cause there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seat- 
ed ; and he came with the heads of the people, he 
executed r the justice of the Lord, and his judgments 
with Israel. 

22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a s lion's whelp : 
he shall leap from Bashan. 

23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, l satisfied 
with favour, and full with the blessing of the Lord : 
possess thou the u west and the south. 

24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed 
with children ; let him be acceptable to his brethren, 
and let him dip his foot in oil. 

25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass ; and as thy 
days, so shall thy strength be. 

26 There is x none like unto the God of Jeshurun, 
xoho y rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his 
z excellency on the sky. 

27 The a eternal God is thy b refuge, and under- 
neath are the everlasting c arms : and he shall thrust 
out the enemy from before thee ; and shall say, De- 
stroy them. 

28 Israel then shall dwell in ll safety alone: the 
e fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and 
wine; also his f heavens shall drop down dew. 

29 Happy art thou, O Israel : 6 who is like unto 
thee, O people saved by the h Lord, the shield of thy 
help, and who is the ' sword of thy excellency! and 
thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee : and 
thou shalt k tread upon their high places.

CHAP. I. 

The Lord appoinleth Joshua to succeed Moses. 

NOW after the death of Moses a the servant of the 
Lord, it came to pass, that the Lord b spake 
unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 

2 Moses my servant is dead ; now therefore arise, 
go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto 
the land which c 1 do give to them, even to the children 
of Israel. 

3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread 
upon, that have I given unto you, d as I said unto 
Moses. 

4 From the e wilderness and this f Lebanon, even 
unto the great river, the river s Euphrates, all the land 
of the Hittites, and unto the h great sea toward the 
going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 

5 There shall not any man be able to stand t before 
thee all the days of thy life : as I was with Moses, so 
I will be with thee : 1 will ' not fail thee, nor forsake 
thee. 

6 k Be strong and of a good courage ; for unto this 
people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, 
which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that 
thou rnayest observe to do according to ' all the law 
which Moses my servant commanded thee : turn not 
from it to m the right hand or to the left, that thou 
mayest || prosper whithersoever thou goest. 

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of " thy 
mouth ; but thou shalt ° meditate therein day and 
night, that thou mayest observe to do according to 
all that, is written therein : for then thou shalt make 
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good 
success. 

9 p Have not I commanded thee ? Be strong and 
of a good courage ; be not afraid, neither be thou dis- 
mayed : q for the Lord thy God is with thee whither- 
soever thou goest. 

1 IT r Then Joshua commanded the officei s of the 
people, saying, 

1 1 Pass through the host, and command the peo- 
j v*. 37, 3. p)e. saying, s Prepare you victuals ; for within three 

days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess 
the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to 
possess it. 

12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and 
fo half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,

shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on

1 5 " Until the Lord have given your brethren rest, 
as he hath given you, and they also have possessed 
the land which the Lord your God giveth them : then 
ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and 
enjoy it, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you 
on this side Jordan, toward the sun-rising. 

1 6 And they answered Joshua, saying, x All that 
thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever 
thou sendest us we will go. 

1 7 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all 
things, so will we hearken unto thee : y only the Lord 
thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. 

18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy 
commandment, and will z not hearken unto thy words 
in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to 
death : only a be strong and of a good courage. 

CHAP. II. 

Rahab concealeth the two spies sent from Sliiltim. 
ND Joshua the son of Nun sent out of a Shittim 

two men to spy t secretly, saying, Go view the 
land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into 
b a harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there. 

2 And c it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Be- 
hold, there came men in hither to-night of the children 
of Israel, to search out the country. 

3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, 
J Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which 
are entered into thine house : for they be come to 
search out all the country. 

4 And the woman took the two men, and e hid 
them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but 
f ] wist not whence they were : 

5 And it came to pass, about the time of shutting of 
the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out : 
whither the men went I wot not : g pursue after them 
quickly ; for ye shall overtake them.

pursued after them were gone out, they k shut the 
gate. 

8 And before they were laid down, she came up 
unto them upon the roof; 

9 And she said unto the men, ' I know that the 
Lord hath given you the land, and that your m terror 
is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the 
land t faint because of you. 

1 For we have " heard how the Lord ° dried up 
the water of the Red Sea for you, when ye came out 
of Egypt ; and what ye did unto the p two kings of the 
Amorites that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon 
and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. 

1 1 And as soon as we had heard these things, our 
hearts did melt, neither did there t remain any more 
coinage in any man, because of you : for the Lord 
your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth 
beneath. 

1 2 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by 
the Lord, q since I have shewed you kindness, that 
ye will also shew kindness unto my r father's house, 
and give me a true token : 

1 3 And that ye will save alive my father, and my 
mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that 
they have, and deliver our lives from death. 

1 4 And the men answered her, t Our life for yours, 
if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, 
when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will 
9 deal kindly and truly with thee. 

1 5 Then she l let them down by a cord through the 
window : for her house ivas upon the town wall, and 
she dwelt upon the wall. 

1 6 And u she said unto them, Get you to the moun- 
tain, lest the pursuers meet you ; and hide yourselves 
there three days, until the pursuers be returned : and 
afterward may ye go your way. 

1 7 And the men said unto her, We will be x blame- 
less of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear. 

18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt 
bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which 
thou didst let us down by ; and thou shalt t bring thy 
father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy 
father's household, home unto thee. 

19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall I go out of 
the doors of thy house into the street, z his blood shall 
be upon his head, and we will be guiltless : and who- 
soever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall 
be on our head, if any hand be upon him. 

20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will 
be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. 

21 And she said, According unto your words so be 
rt. And she sent them away, and they departed : and 
she bound the scarlet line in the window. 

22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, 
and abode there three days, until the pursuers were 
returned : And the pursuers sought them throughout 
all the way, a but found them not. 

23 So the two men returned, and descended from 
the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua 
the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them : 

24 And they said unto Joshua, Truly b the Lord 
hath delivered into our hands all the land ; for even all 
the inhabitants of the country do t faint because of us. 

CHAP. 111. 

1 Joshua coineth to Jordan. 14 The waters of Jordan are 
divided. 

AND Joshua " rose early in the. morning; and 
they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, 



he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there 
before they passed over. 

2 And it came to pass, after "three days, that the 
officers went through the host ; 

3 And they commanded the people, saying, When 
ye see the c ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, 
and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall 
d remove from your place, and go after it. 

4 Yet there shall be a e space between you and it, 
about two thousand cubits by measure : come not near 
unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must 
go : for ye have not passed this way heretofore. 

5 And Joshua said unto the people, f Sanctify your- 
selves : for s to-morrow the Lord will do h wonders 
among you. 

6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, ' Take 
up the ark of the covenant, and pass over k before the 
people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, 
and went before the people. 

7 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will 
I begin to ' magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that 
they may know that, m as I was with Moses, so I will 
be with thee. 

8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the 
ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the 
brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall n stand still in 
Jordan. 

9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come 
hither, and ° hear the words of the Lord your God. 

10 And Joshua said, p Hereby ye shall know that 
the q living God is among you, and that he will with- 
out fail r drive out from before you the Canaanites, and 
the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and 
the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites. 

1 1 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the s Lord of 
all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan. 

1 2 Now therefore take ye ' twelve men out of the 
tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man. 

1 3 And it shall come to pass, " as soon as the soles 
of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, 
the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of 
Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut offfrnni 
the waters that come down from above ; and they 
shall x stand upon a heap. 

1 4 IT And it came to pass, when the people removed 
from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests 
bearing the y ark of the covenant before the people; 

15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto 
Jordan, and the 'feet of the priests that bare the ark 
were dipped in the brim of the water, (for a Jordan 
overrloweth all his banks at the time of harvest,) 

16 That the waters which came down from above 
stood and b rose up upon a heap very far from I lie 
city Adam, that is beside °Zaretan: and those that 
came down toward the sea of the plain, even the (l salt 
sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed 
over e right against Jericho. 

17 And the priests that bare the ark o{ the cove- 
nant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground r in the 
midst of Jordan ; and all * the Israelites passed over 
on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean 
over Jordan.

2 Take you c twelve men out of the people, out of 
every tribe a man, 

3 And command you them, saying, Take you hence 
out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the 
priests' d feet stood firm, twelve e stones ; and ye shall 
carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodg- 
ing place where you shall lodge this night. 

4 Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had 
prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe 
a man : 

5 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the 
ark of the Lord f your God into the midst of Jordan, 
and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his 
shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of 
the children of Israel : 

6 That this may be a g sign among you, that when 
your children ask their fathers t in time to come, say- 
ing, h What mean you by these stones ? 

7 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of 
Jordan were ' cut off before the ark of the covenant of 
the Lord ; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of 
Jordan were cut oft: and these stones shall be for a 
k memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. 

8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua com- 
manded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of 
Jordan,' as the Lord spake unto Joshua, according to 
the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and 
carried them over with them unto the place where 
they lodged, and laid them down there. 

9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the l midst of 
Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which 
bare the ark of the covenant stood : and they are there 
unto this day. 

10 For the priest which bare the ark stood in the 
midst of Jordan, m until every thing was finished that 
the Lord commanded Joshua to speak unto the peo- 
ple, according to all that n Moses commanded Joshua : 
and the people ° hasted and passed over. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when all the people were 
clean passed over, that the ark of the Lord passed 
over, and the priests, in the presence of the people. 

1 2 And the children of Reuben, and the children 
of Gad, and half the. tribe of Manasseh, passed over 
armed t before the children of Israel, as Moses spake 
unto them : 

13 About forty thousand || prepared for war passed 
over p before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of 
Jericho. 

14 On that clay the Lord i magnified Joshua in the 
sight of all Israel ; and they feared him, as they r fear- 
ed Moses, all the days of his life. 

15 And the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying, 

1 6 Command the priests that bear the s ark of the 
testimony, that they come up out of Jordan. 

17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, 
1 Come ye up out of Jordan. 

1 8 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare 
the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up 
out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' 
feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters 
of Jordan returned unto their place, and 1 flowed over 
all his banks, t as they did before. 

1 9 And the people came up out of Jordan on the 
tenth day of u the first month, and encamped in x Gil- 
gal, in the east border of Jericho. 

20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of 
Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal. 

2 1 And he spake unto the children of Israel, say 



ing, When your children shall ask their fathers t in 
time to come, saying, What mean these stones ? 

22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, 
Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. 

23 For the Lord your G id dried up the waters of 
Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as 
the Lord your God did to the y Red Sea, which he 
dried up from before us, until we were gone over : 

24 That all the people of the earth might know the 
hand of the Lord, that it is mighty; that ye might 
* fear the Lord your God for ever. 

CHAP. V. 

2 Joshua reneweth circumcision. 10 ITie passover is kept 
at Gilgal. 12 Manna ce.aseth. 
ND it came to pass, when all the kings of the 
a Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan 
westward, and all the kings of the b Canaanites, which 
were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the 
waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, 
until we were passed over, that their c heart melted, 
neither was there spirit in them any more, because of 
the children of Israel. 

2 At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make 
thee t sharp knives, and circumcise again the children 
of Israel the second time. 

3 And d Joshua made him sharp knives, and cir- 
cumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the fore- 
skins. 

4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise : 
All the people that came out of Egypt, that were 
males, even all the men of war, e died in the wilder- 
ness by the way, after they came out of Egypt. 

5 Now all the people that came out were circum- 
cised : but all the people that were f born in the wil- 
derness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, 
them they had not circumcised. 

6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in 
the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, 
which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because 
they obeyed not the voice of the Lord : unto whom 
the Lord g sware that he would not shew them the 
land which the Lord sware unto their fathers that he 
would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 

7 And their children, whom h he raised up in their 
stead, them Joshua circumcised : for they were ' un- 
circumcised, because they had not circumcised them 
by the way. 

8 And it came to pass, when they had done cir- 
cumcising ali the people, that they abode in their 
places in the camp till they were wholes 

9 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have 
I rolled away the k reproach of Egypt ' from off you. 
Wherefore the name of the place is called || Gilgal 
unto this day. 

10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, 
and kept m the passover on the fourteenth day of tire 
month, at even, in the plains of Jericho. 

1 1 And they did eat of D the old corn of the land, 
on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes 
and parched corn in the selfsame day. 

12 And the ° manna ceased on the morrow after 
they had eaten of the old corn of the land ; neither 
had the children of Israel manna any more ; but they 
did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. 

13 IT And it came to pass, when Joshua was by 
Jericho, that he p lifted up his eyes and looked, and, 
behold, there stood q a man over against him with his 
r sword drawn in his hand : and Joshua went unto

times : only on that day they compassed the city seven 
times. 

16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when 
the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto 
the people, Shout ; for the Lord hath given you the city. 

1 7 And the city shall be || accursed, even it and all 
that are therein, to the Lord : only Rahab the harlot 
shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, 
because she s hid the messengers that we sent. 

18 And you, in any wise keep yourselves from the 
accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, 
when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the 
camp of Israel a curse, and l trouble it 

19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass 
and iron, are consecrated unto the Lord : they shall 
come into the treasury of the Lord. 

20 So the people shouted when the priests blew 
with the trumpets : and it came to pass, when the 
people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people 
shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down 
u flat, so that the people went up into the city, every 
man straight before him, and they took the city : 

21 And they x utterly destroyed all that was in the 
city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, 
and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. 

22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had 
spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and 
bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, 
y as ye sware unto her. 

23 And the young men that were spies went in, and 
brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, 
and her brethren, and all that she had ; and they 
brought out all her kindred, and left them * without 
the camp of Israel. 

24 And they a burnt the city with fire, and all that 
was therein : only the silver, and the gold, and the 
vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury 
of the house of the Lord. 

25 And Joshua b saved Rahab the harlot alive, and 
her father's household, and all that she had ; and she 
c dwelleth in Israel even unto this day ; because she 
hid the messengers which Joshua sent to spy out 
Jericho. 

26 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, 
Cursed be the man before the Lord that riseth up and 
buildeth this city Jericho : he shall lay the foundation 
thereof in d his first-born, and in his youngest son shall 
he set up the gates of it. 

27 So the Lord was with Joshua ; and his e fame 
was noised throughout all the country. 

CHAP. VII. 

5 The Israelites are smitten at Ai. 6 Joshua's complaint. 

BUT the a children of Israel committed a trespass 
in the accursed thing : for Achan, the son of 
Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the 
tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the 
b anger of the Lord was kindled against the children 
of Israel. 

2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to c Ai, which 
is beside d Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and 
spake unto them, saying, Go up and e view the coun- 
try. And the men went up and viewed Ai. 

3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, 
Let not all the people go up •, but let about two or 
three thousand men go up and smite Ai ; and make 
not all the people to labour I hither ; for they are but fcw*

4 So there went up thither of the people about three 
thousand men : and they fled f before the men of Ai. 

5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty 
and six men : for they chased them from, before the 
gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in thf going 
down ; wherefore the hearts of the people s melted, 
and became as water. 

6 And Joshua h rent his clothes, and fell to the earth 
upon his face ' before the ark of the Lord until the 
even-tide, he and the fc elders of Israel, and 'put dust 
upon their heads. 

7 And Joshua said, Alas ! O Lord God, m wherefore 
hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, n to 
deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy 
us ? Would to God we had been content, and dwelt 
on the other side Jordan ! 

8 t O Lord, ° what shall I say, t when Israel turn- 
eth their backs before their enemies ! 

9 For the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants of the 
land shall hear of it, and shall environ us around, and 
p cut off our name from the earth : and q what wilt 
thou do unto thy great name ? 

10 And the Lord said unto Joshua, r Get thee up ; 
wherefore s liest thou thus upon thy face ? 

1 1 * Israel hath sinned, and they have also trans- 
gressed u my covenant which I commanded them : for 
they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have 
also x stolen, and dissembled also, and they have y put 
it even among their own stuff. 

12 Therefore the children of Israel z could not stand 
before their enemies, but turned their backs before 
their enemies, because they were accursed : neither 
will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the 
accursed from among you. 

13 Up, a sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify your- 
selves against to-morrow : for thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst 
of thee, O Israel : thou canst not stand before thine 
enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from 
among you. 

14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought 
according to your tribes : and it shall be, that the tribe 
which the Lord b taketh shall come according to the 
families thereof; and the family which the Lord shai 
take shall come by households ; and the household 
which the Lord shall take shall come man by man. 

15 And it shall be, that he that is c taken with the 
accursed thing shall be d burnt with fire, he and all 
that he hath ; because he hath transgressed the cove- 
nant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought folly 
e in Israel. 

1 6 So Joshua f rose up early in the morning, and 
brought Israel by their tribes ; and the tribe of Judah 
was taken : 

1 7 And he brought the family of g Judah ; and he 
took the family of the Zarhites : and he brought the 
family of the Zarhites man by man ; and Zabdi was 
taken : 

1 8 And he brought his household man by man ; 
and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the 
son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 

19 And Joshua said unto Achan, '■ My son, give, 
I pray thee, ' glory to the Lord God of Israel, and 
k make confession unto him ; and tell me now what 
thou hast done ; hide it not from me. 

20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed 
[ have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and 
thus and thus have I done : 



21 When I ' saw among the spoils a goodly t Baby- 
lonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, 
and a Wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I 
m coveted them, and took them ; and, behold, they 
are " hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the 
silver under it. 

22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto 
the tent ; and, behold, it was hid in his ° tent, and the 
silver under it. 

23 And they took them out of the midst, of the 
tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the 
children of Israel, and t laid them out before the Lord. 

24 And Joshua, and all Israel with hirn, took Achan 
the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and 
the t wedge of gold, and his v sons, and his daughters, 
and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his 
tent, and q all that he had : and they brought them 
unto the valley of Achor. 

25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou r troubled us ? 
the Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel 
stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire 
after they had stoned them with stones. 

26 And they raised over him a great s heap of stones 
unto this day. l So the Lord turned from the fierce- 
ness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place 
was called, The valley of || Achor, unto tins day. 

CHAP. VIII. 

1 God encourageth Joshua. 3 The stratagem whereby Jii 
■was taken. 30 Joshua buildelh an altar, 34 propound- 
ed blessings and cursings. 

ND the Lord said unto Joshua, a Fear not, nei- 
ther be thou dismayed : b take all the people of 
war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai : see, c I have 
given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, 
and his city, and his land. 

2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst 
unto d Jericho and her king : only the e spoil thereof, 
and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto 
yourselves : lay thee an ambush for the city f behind it. 

3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to 
go up against Ai : and Joshua chose out g thirty thou- 
sand mighty men of valour, and sent them away h by 
night. 

4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye 
shall lie || in wait against the city, even behind the city : 
go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready : 

5 And I, and all the people that are with me, will 
approach unto the city : and it shall come to pass, 
when they come out against us, as at the first, that we 
will ' flee before them, 

6 (For they will come out after us,) till we have 
t drawn them from the city : for they k will say, They 
flee before us, as at the first : therefore we will flee 
before them. 

7 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize 
upon the city : for the Lord your God will deliver it 
into your hand. 

8 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that 
ye shall set the city on fire : according to the com- 
mandment of the Lord shall ye do. See, ' I have 
commanded you. 

9 Joshua therefore sent th<?m forth : and they went 
to lie in ambush, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, 
on the west side of Ai : but Joshua lodged that night 
among the people. 

10 And Joshua rose up m early in the morning, and 
numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders 
of Israel, before the people to Ai.

1 1 And all the people, even the people of war that 
were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came 
before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai : 
now there was a valley between them and Ai. 

12 And he took about five thousand men, and set 
them to lie in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the 
west side of the city. 

1 3 And when they had set the people, even all the 
host that was on the north of the city, and their t liers 
in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that 
night into the midst of the valley. 

1 4 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw 
it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of 
the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all 
his people, at a time appointed, before the plain ; but 
he " wist not that there were liers in ambush against 
him behind the city. 

15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were 
beaten before them, and fled by the way of the 
° wilderness. 

16 And all the people that were in Ai were called 
together to pursue after them : and they pursued after 
Joshua, and p were drawn away from the city. 

1 7 And there was q not a man left in Ai or Beth-el 
that went not out after Israel : and they left the city 
open, and pursued after Israel. 

18 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch out 
the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai ; for I will 
give it into thine hand. And Joshua ' stretched out 
the spear that he had in his hand toward the city. 

1 9 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, 
and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his 
hand : and they entered into the city, and took it, and 
hasted, and set the city on fire. 

20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, 
they saw, and, behold, the 9 smoke of the city as- 
cended up to heaven, and t they had no power to flee 
this way or that way : and the people that fled to the 
wilderness turned back upon the pursuers. 

21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the 
ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the 
city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the 
men of Ai. 

22 And the other issued out of the city against 
them ; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on 
this side, and some on that side : and they smote 
them, so that they let ' none of them remain or escape. 

23 And the u king of Ai they took alive, and 
brought him to Joshua. 

24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an 
end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, 
in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when 
they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until 
they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned 
unto Ai, and smote it with the t edge of the sword. 

25 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of 
men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the 
men of Ai. 

26 For Joshua x drew not his hand back, where- 
with he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly 
destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 

27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city, Israel 
y took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the 
word of the Lord, which he commanded Joshua. 

28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap ■ for 
ever, even a desolation, unto this day. 

29 And the king of Ai he a hanged on a tree until 
even-tide : and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua 

u 



commanded that they should take his carcase down 
from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate 
of the city, and raise thereon a b great heap of stones, 
that remaineth unto this day. 

30 IT Then Joshua c built an altar unto the Lord 
God of Israel in d mount Ebal, 

31 As Moses the servant of the Lord commanded 
the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of 
the law of Moses, An altar of e whole stones, over 
which no man hath lifted up any iron : and they offer- 
ed thereon f burnt-offerings unto the Lord, and sa- 
crificed 6 peace-offerings. 

32 And he wrote there h upon the stones ' a copy 
of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence 
of the children of Israel. 

33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, 
and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on 
that side, before the priest the Levites, which bare the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord, as well the stranger 
as he that was born among them : half of them over 
against mount k Gerizim ; and half of them over 
against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the 
Lord had commanded before, that they should ' bless 
the people of Israel. 

34 And afterward he m read all the words of the 
law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that 
is written in the book of the law. 

35 There was not a word of all that Moses com- 
manded which Joshua read not before all the congre- 
gation of Israel, with the n women, and the little ones, 
and the ° strangers that were conversant among 
them. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 The kings combine against Israel. 3 The Gibeonites, by 
craft, obtain a league. 

AND it came to pass, when all the kings which 
were on a this side Jordan, in the hills, and in 
the valleys, and in all the coasts of the b great sea 
over against Lebanon, the c Hittite, and the Amorite, 
the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the 
Jebusite, heard thereof, 

2 That they (1 gathered themselves together, to fight 
with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord. 

3 And when the inhabitants of e Gibeon f heard 
what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, 

4 They did work g wilily, and went and made as 
if they had been ambassadors ; and took old sacks 
upon their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and 
bound up ; 

5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and 
old garments upon them ; and all the bread of their 
provision was dry and mouldy. 

6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at h Gil- 
gal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We 
be come from a far country : now therefore make ye 
' a league with us. 

7 And the men of Israel said unto the " Nivites, 
Peradventure ye dwell among us ; and ' haw shall 
we make a league with you ? 

8 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy m ser- 
vants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye ? 
and from whence come ye ! 

9 And they said unto him, From a very far coun- 
try thy servants are come, because of the n name ol 
the Lord thy God : for we have heard the fame of 
him, and all that he did in Egypt, 

10 And all that he did to the ° two kings ol the 
Amorites that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king ol

12 p This our bread we took hot for our provision 
out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto 
you ; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy : 

1 3 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were 
new ; and, behold, they be rent : and these our gar- 
ments and our shoes are become old by reason of the 
very long journey. 

14 And the men took of their victuals, and q asked 
not counsel at the r mouth of the Lord. 

15 And Joshua 5 made peace with them, and made 
a league with them, to let them live : and the princes 
of the congregation sware unto them. 

1 6 And it came to pass, at the end of three days, 
after they had made a league with them, that they 
heard that they were their neighbours, and that they 
dwelt among them. 

17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came 
unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities 
were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kir- 
jath-jearim. 

1 8 And the children of Israel t smote them not, be- 
KcTs 21 /' cause me princes of the congregation had sworn unto 
pSmi'5,4. them by the Lord God of Israel. And all the con- 
gregation u murmured against the princes. 

19 But all the princes said unto all the congrega- 
tion., We have sworn unto them by the Lord God of 
Israel : now, therefore, x we may not touch them. 

20 This we will do to them ; we will even let them 
live ; y lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath 
which we sware unto them. 

21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live ; 
but let them be z hewers of wood and drawers of 
water unto all the congregation ; as the princes had 
promised them. 

22 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto 
them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, 
We are very far from you ; when ye dwell among us? 

23 Now therefore ye are a cursed ; and there shall 
none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers 
of wood and drawei#of water for the house of my 
God. 

24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because 
it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord 
thy God b commanded his servant Moses to give you 
all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the 
land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid 
of our lives because of you, and have done this thing. 

25 And now, behold, we are in thine hand : as it 
seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. 

26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them

CHAP. X. 

5 Five kings war against Gibeon. 12 The sun and moon 
stand still at the word of Joshua. 

NOW it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of 
Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai 



encamped before Gibeon, and 
made war against it. 

6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the 
camp at Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy 
servants ; come up to us quickly, and save us, and 
help us : for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell 
in the mountains are gathered together against us. 

7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the 
people of war with him, and all the mighty men of 
valour. 

8 And the Lord said unto Joshua, ' Fear them not ; 1 ch. 9, is. 
for I have delivered them info thine hand : there shall ^ 103 ' 13, 
not a man of them stand before thee. 

9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and 
went up from Gilgal all night. 

10 And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, 
and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and 
chased them along the way that goeth up to m Beth- 
horon, and smote them to n Azekah, and unto Mak- 
kedah. 

1 1 And it came to pass, as they fled from before 
Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that 
the Lord cast down ° great stones from heaven upon o Judg. 5, 
them unto Azekah, and they died : they were more 
which died with hailstones than they whom the chil- 
dren of Israel slew with the sword. 

1 2 Then p spake Joshua to the Lord in the day 
when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the 
children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, 
Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon ; and thou, Moon, 
in the valley of q Ajalon. 

13 And the r sun stood still, and the moon stayed, l^' 12 ' 
until the people had avenged themselves upon their rHeb. 11, 
enemies. Is not this written in the book of || Jasher ? jj 3 g r the 
So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted vpright, 
not to go down about a whole day. Num. 21,14. 

1 4 And there was s no day like that before it or s isa. 38, a 
after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a 

man : for the Lord fought for Israel. 

15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him 
unto the camp to Gilgal. 

16 But * these five kings fled, and "hid themselves f 7 e . v - 6 ' 15 ' 
in a cave at Makkedah. u Ps. 139, 8, 

1 7 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings \™ 0% 9i 2 . 
are found hid in a cave at Makkedah. x verse '22! 

18 And Joshua said, x Roll great stones upon the g™ 039 ' 1 '

not to enter into their cities : for the Lord your God 
hath delivered them into your hand. 

20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the chil- 
dren of Israel had made an end of slaying them with 
a very great slaughter, till tiiey were consumed, that 
the rest which remained of them entered into fenced 
cities. 

21 And all the people returned to the camp to 
Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none y moved liis 
tongue against any of the children of Israel. 

22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, 
and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave. 

23 And they did so, and brought forth those five 
kings unto Mm out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, 
the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of 
Lachish, and the king of Eglon. 

24 And it came to pass, when they brought out 
those kings unto Joshua, that J oshua called for all the 
men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men 
of war which went with him, Come near, z put your 
feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came 
near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. 

25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be 
dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for a thus 

a_i Sam. , s j la ]| t j ie Lord do to all your enemies against whom 

Ps.63,7.& ye fight. 

; 26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew 
them, and b hanged them on five trees: and they were 
hanging upon the trees until the evening. 

27 And it came to pass at the time of the going 
down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they 
took them down off the trees, and cast them into the 
cave wherein they had been hid, and laid c great stones 
in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day. 

28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote 
it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he 
utterly destroyed, them, and tall the souls that were 
therein ; he let none remain : and he did to the king 
of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho. 

29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all 
Israel with him, unto d Libnah, and fought against 
Libnah 

30 And the Lord delivered it also, and tlie king 
thereof, into the hand of Israel ; and he smote it witl 
the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were 
therein ; he let none remain in it ; but did unto tlw 
king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho. 

31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel 
with him, unto e Lachish, and encamped against it 
and fought against it : 

32 And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of 
Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it 
with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that wr.rr 
therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah. 

33 Then Horam king of f Gezercameup to help 
Ioi> v i<MLa Lachish ; and Joshua smote him and his people, until 
h Uen. 13, he had left him none remaining. 

34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto g Eglon, 
and all Israel with him ; and they encamped against 
it. and fought against it: 

3.5 And they took it on that day, and smote it with 

the edge of the sword ; and all the souls that ircv 

him in that therein he utterly t destroyed that day, according to 

expedition,

as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.

of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and 
all their kings : he left none remaining, but utterly 
destroyed tall that breathed, as the Lord God of 
Israel commanded.

Divers kings overcome at the waters of Merom. 

AND it came to pass, when Jabin king of a Hazor 
had heard those things, that b he sent to Jobab 
king of Madon, and to the king of c Shimron, and to 
the king of d Achshaph, 

2 And to the kings that were on the north of the 
mountains, and of the plains south of e Chinneroth, and 
in the valley, and in the f borders of Dor on the west, f Num. 34, 

3 And to theCanaanite on the east and on the west, J 1 ., 
and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, 
and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite 

under s Hermon, in the land of h Mizpeh. gch. 13,il 

4 And they went out, they and all their hosts with 4 9 Gen " **• 
them, much people, even 'as the sand that is upon iw 2,1,2 
the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots 
very many. 

5 And when all these kings were met together, they 
came and pitched together at the waters of Merom., to 
fight against Israel. 

6 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid 
because of them : for to-morrow about this time will 
I deliver them up all slain before Israel : thou shall 
k hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire. 

7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with 
him,against them by the waters of Merom 'suddenly; 
and they fell upon them. 

8 And the Lord delivered them into the hand of 
Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto greal 
m Zidon. and unto ||Misrephoth-maim, and unto the 
valley of Ylizpeh eastward; and they smote them, 
until they left them none remaining.

kings and cities 

12 And all the cities of those kings, and all the 
kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with 
the edge of the sword ; and he utterly destroyed them, 
p as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded. 

13 But as for the cities that stood still in their 
strength, Israel binned none of them, save Hazor 
only ; thai did Joshua burn. 

14 And all q the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, 
the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves ; 
but every man ihey smote with the edge of the sword, 
until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to 
breathe. 

15 r As the Lord commanded Moses his servant, 
so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua ; 
he left nothing "undone of all that the Lord com- 
manded Moses. 

16 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all 
the south country, and all the land of s Goshen, and 
the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, 
and the valley of the same ; 

1 7 Even from the || mount Halak, that goeth up to 
Seir, unto Baal-gad, in the valley of Lebanon, unto 
mount Hermon : and all their kings he took, and 
smote them, and slew them. 

1 8 Joshua made war || a long time with all those 
kings. 

1 9 There was not a city that * made peace with 
the children of Israel, save the Hivites, the inhabi- 
tants of Gibeon : all other they took in battle. 

20 For it was of the Lord to u harden their hearts, 
that they should come against Israel in battle, that 
he might destroy them utterly, and that they might 
have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as 
the Lord commanded Moses. 

21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the 
Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from 
Debir, from Anab, and from all the x mountains of 
Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel : Joshua 
destroyed them utterly with their cities. 

22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land 
of the children of Israel : only in Gaza, in Gath, and 
in Ashdod, there remained. 

23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to 
all that the Lord said unto Moses , and Joshua gave 
it for an inheritance unto Israel, y according to then- 
divisions by their tribes. And the land % rested from 
war.

Lebanon unto k Misrephoth-maim, and ail the Slavoni- 
ans, them will ' I drive out from before the children of 
Israel : only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites 
for an inheritance, as 1 have commanded thee. 

7 Now m therefore divide this land for an inheritance 
unto the nine tribes and the half tribe of Manasseh, 

8 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have 
received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, 
beyond Jordan eastward, even as n Moses the servant 
of the Lord gave them ; 

9 From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river 
Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, 
and all the plain of ° Medeba unto P Dibon ; 

10 And all the cities of q Sihon king of the Amo- 
rites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of 
the children of Amnion ; 

1 1 And r Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites 
and s Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all 
Bashan unto Salcah ; 

1 2 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned 
in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the rem- 
nant of the * giants : for these did Moses smite, and 
cast them out. 

1 3 Nevertheless the children of Israel u expelled 
not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites; but the 
Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the 
Israelites until this day. 

1 4 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inhe- 
ritance ; the x sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel 
made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them. 

1 5 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children 
of Reuben inheritance according to their families : 

1 6 And their coast was from y Aroer, that is on the 
bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the 
midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba ; 

1 7 z Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain ; 
Dibon, and [| Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, 

1 8 And a Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 

19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-sha- 
har in the mount of the valley, 

20 And b Beth-peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and c Belh- 
jeshimoth, 

21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the king- 
dom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in 
Heshbon, whom u Moses smote with the princes of 
Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Re- 
ba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country. 

22 e Balaam also the son of Beor, the f soothsayer, 
did the children of Israel slay with the sword g among 
them that were slain by them. 

23 And the border of the children of Reuben was 
Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inherit- 
ance of the children of Reuben after their families, 
the cities and villages thereof. 

24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of 
Gad, even unto the children of Gad, according to their 
families : 

25 And their coast was h Jazer, and all die cities of 
Gilead, and 'half the land of the children of Ammon, 
unto Aroer that is before k Rabbah ; 

26 And from Heshbon unto ' Rainath-mizpeh, and 
Betonim ; and from m Mahanaim unto the border of 
n Debir ; 

27 And in the valley, ° Beth-aram, and fBelh- 
nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the 
kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his 
border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnerolh, 
on the other side Jordan eastward. 



28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad 
after their families, the cities, and their villages. 

29 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe 
of Manasseh : and this was the possession of the half 
tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families : 

30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Ba- 
shan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all 
the towns of q Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore 
cities ; 

31 And half Gilead, and r Ashtaroth, and Edrei, 
cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertain- 
ing unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, 
even to the 8 one half of the children of Machir by 
their families. 

32 These are the countries which Moses did distri- 
bute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the 
other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward. 

33 But unto the * tribe of Levi, Moses gave not 
any inheritance : the Lord God of Israel was their 
inheritance, as he said unto them. 

CHAP. XIV. 

Caleb by privilege oblaineth Hebron. 

AND these are the countries which the children ot 
Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which 
a Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and 
the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of 
Israel, distributed for inheritance to them. 

2 b By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord com- 
manded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and 
for the half tribe. 

3 For Moses had given the inheritance of two 
tribes and a half tribe on the other side Jordan : but 
unto the c Levites he gave none inheritance among 
them. 

4 For the children of Joseph were d two tribes, 
Manasseh and Ephraim : therefore they gave no part 
unto the Levites in the land, save e cities to dwell in, 
with their suburbs for their cattle and for their 
substance. 

5 As the Lord commanded Moses, so the children 
of Israel did, and they divided the land. 

6 If Then the children of f Judah came unto Joshua 
in g Gilgal : and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Ke- 
nezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that 
the Lord said unto Moses the '' man of God concern- 
ing me and tl>ee in Kadesh-barnea. 

7 ' Forty years old was I when Moses the servant 
of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out 
the land ; and 1 brought him word again as it was in 
mine heart. 

8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me 
made the heart of the people k melt : but 1 t wholly 
followed the Lord my God. 

9 And Moses ' sware on that day, saying, Surely 
the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine 
inheritance, and thy children's lor ever, because thou 
hast wholly followed the Lord my God. 

10 And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, 
as he said, these fortv and five years, even since the 
Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children 
of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I 
am. this day fourscore and five years old. 

11 As yet 1 am as strong this day as / was in the 
day that Moses sent me. : as my strength was then, 
even so is my strength now, for war, both m to go out 
and to come in. , 

12 Now therefore give me this mountain, wnereoi 
the Lord spake in that day ; for thou heardest in that

were great and fenced : D if so be the Lord will be 
with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as 
the Lord said. 

13 And Joshua ° blessed him, and gave unto Caleb, 
the son of Jephunneh, p Hebron for an inheritance. 

14 Hebron therefore q became the inheritance of 
Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this 
day, because that he wholly followed the Lord God 
of Israel. 

15 And the name of Hebron before was 'Kirjath- 
arba : which Arba teas a great man among the Ana- 
kims. And the land had s rest from war. 

CHAP. XV. 

The borders of the lot of Judah. 
'JpHIS then was the a lot of the tribe of the children 
of Judah by their families, even to the "border 
of Edom; c the wilderness of Zin southward was the 
uttermost part of the south coast. 

2 And their south border was from the shore of the 
d salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward: 

3 And it went out to the south side to Maaleh 
acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up 
on the south side unto e Kadesh-barnea ; and passed 
along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched 
a compass to Karkaa : 

4 From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went 
out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that 
coast were at the sea: This shall be your south coast. 

5 And the east border was the salt sea, even unto 
the end of Jordan. And their border in the north 
quarter ivas from the bay of the sea at the uttermost 
part of Jordan : 

6 And the border went up to f Beth-hoglah, and 
passed along by the north of Beth-arabah ; and the 
border went up to the stone of g Bohan the son of 
Reuben : 

7 And the border went up toward Debir from the 
h valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward 
'Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, 
which is on the south side of the river : and the bol- 
der passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the 
goings out thereof were at || En-rogel : 

8 And the border went up by the valley of the k son 
of Hinnom unto the south side of the 'Jebusite; the 
same is Jerusalem : and the border went up to the 
top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of 
Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley 
of the giants northward : 

9 And the border was drawn from the top of the 
hill unto the fountain of the water of "Nephtoah. 
and went out to the cities of mount "Ephron; and 
the border was drawn to Baalah, which is °Kirjath- 
jearim : 

10 And the border compassed from Baalah west- 
ward unto mount Seir,and passed along unto the side 
of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north 
side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on 
to p Timnah : 

11 And the border went out unto the side of 
q Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to 
Shicron, and passed along to mount r Baalah, and 
went out unto Jabneel ; and the goings out of the 
border were at the sea. 

1 2 And the west border was to the great sea, and 
the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of 
Judah round about, according to their families.

14 And Caleb t drove thence the three sons of 
Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the chil- 
dren of Anak. 

1 5 And u he went up thence to the inhabitants of 
Debir : and the name of Debir before was Kiriath- 39 
sepher. 

16 And Caleb said, x He that, smiteth Kirjath- 
sepher, and taketh it, to him will y I give Achsah Hebii2a 
z my daughter to wife. &12.2.' 

17 And Othniel the a son of Kenaz,the brother of 
Caleb, took it : and he gave him Achsah his daughter 
to wife. 

1 8 And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that 38 
she b moved him to ask of her father a field : and she fj g ' ' 
c lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What iSam. n,

hast given me a south land ; give me also springs of bjuJ g .i,L

nether springs. 

20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Judah according to their families.

but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at

CHAP. XVI. 

1 The general borders of the sons of Joseph, 5 and of 
Ephraim. 
ND the lot of the children of || Joseph fell from 
Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on 
the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho 
throughout mount Beth-el, 

2 And goeth out from a Beth-el to b Luz, and pass 
eth along unto the borders of c Archi to d Ataroth, 

3 And goeth down westward to the coast of e Japh- 
leti, unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to 
f Gezer : and the goings out thereof are at the sea. 

4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim 
took their inheritance. 

5 And the border of the children of Ephraim, ae 
cording to their families, was thus ; even the border 
of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-adar, 
unto Beth-horon the upper : 

6 And the border went out toward the sea to 
6 Michmethah on the north side; and the border went 
about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by 
it on the east to Janohah : 

7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and 
to h Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at 
Jordan. 

8 The border went out from ' Tappuah westward 
unto the k river Kanah ; and the goings out thereof 
were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe 
of the children of Ephraim by their families. 

9 And the l separate cities for the children of 
Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children 
of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. 

10 And they m drave not out the Canaanites that 
dwelt in Gezer ; but the Canaanites dwell among the 
Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute. 

CHAP. XVII. 

The lot of Manasseh. 

THERE was also "a lot for the tribe of Manas- 
seh, (for he was the b first-born of Joseph ;) to wit. 
for c Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of 




Gilead ; because he was d a man of war, therefore he 
had e Gilead and f Bashan. 

2 There was also a lot for the g rest of the children 
of Manasseh by their families ; for the children of d Num. 32. 
Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the iPbeut 3, 
children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, 12 

and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of 33 21 ' 
Shemida : these were the male children of Manasseh chap. 20, b 
the son of Joseph by their families. 13. mss 4 ' 

3 But h Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of | 9 ^ um 26, 
Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had hNum. ig, 
no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of ||i 2 ^ 33 
his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, 

and Tirzah. 

4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, 
and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the 
princes, saying, The Lord commanded Moses to give 
us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore, 
according to the t commandment of the Lord, he gave t Heb. 
them an inheritance ' among the brethren of their "?"'/'•,„ 

r J , D 1 Acts 10,

5 And there fell t ten portions to Manasseh, besides ?fjj' 18 
the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the ten ivies, 
other side Jordan ; verses 2, 3, 

6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an in- 
heritance among Iris sons : and the rest of Manasseh's 
sons had the land of Gilead. 

7 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to 
k Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the kch. 16,6. 
border went along on the right hand unto the inhabit- 
ants of En-tappuah. 

8 Now Manasseh had the land of ' Tappuah : but 1 ch. 12,17, 
Tappuah, on the border of Manasseh, belonged to the & 16, 8 ' 
children of Ephraim. 

9 And the coast descended unto the || river Kanah, [| Or, brook 
southward of the river : these cities of Ephraim are ^w'lg g 
among the cities of Manasseh : the coast of Manas- 
seh also was on the north side of the river, and the 
out-goings of it were at the sea : 

1 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it 
was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border ; and they 
met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar 
on the east. 

1 1 And Manasseh had in Issachar, and in Asher, 
m Beth-shean and her towns, and "Ibleam and herm2San\. 
towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and ^Vch 
the inhabitants of °En-dor and her towns, and the 6,70. 
inhabitants of ''Taanach and her towns, and the in- o 1 Sam. 28, 
habitants of q Megiddo and her towns, even three p s . 83, 10 
countries. ^ud^f'27 

12 Yet the children of Manasseh 'could not drive ichr.7',29! 
out the inhabitants of those cities ; but the Canaanites J 2 * Kinps4 ' 
would dwell in that land. r Ex. 23,2a. 

1 3 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel jj^g^ob 
were s waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to 21.

14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua. t<h. i<>. 10.

17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, 
even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art 
a great people, and hast great power ; thou shalt not 
have one lot only : 

18 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a 
*ct>. 13, 6. wood, and thou a shalt cut it down : and the outgoings 

of it shall be thine : for thou shalt drive out the Ca- 
naanites, though they have iron chariots, and though 
they be strong. 

CHAP. XVIII. 

The tabernacle is set up at Shiloh. 

AND the whole congregation of the children of 
Israel assembled together at a Shiloh, and set up 
&e "a 22. tne b tabernacle of tne congregation there. And the 
x ' 25, land was subdued before them. 

2 And there remained among the children of Israel 
seven tribes which had not yet received their inherit- 
ance. 

3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, 
c How long are ye slack to go to possess the land 
which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you ? 

4 Give out from among you three men for each 
tribe : and I will send them, and they shall rise and 
t go through the land, and d describe it, according to 
the inheritance of them ; and they shall come again 
to me. 

5 And they shall divide it into seven parts : e Judah 
shall abide in their coast on the f south, and the house 
of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north. 

6 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven 
parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I 
may cast lots for you here z before the Lord our God. 

7 But the Levites have h no part among you ; for 
the 'priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance : and 
Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, 
have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the 
east, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them. 

8 And the men arose, and went away : and Joshua 
charged them that went to describe the land, saying, 
Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and 

* Phil, a, 4. come again to me, that I may here cast lots k for you 
before the Lord in Shiloh. 

9 And the men went, and passed through the land, 
and described it by cities, into seven parts, in a book, 
and came again to Joshua to the host || at Shiloh. 

10 And Joshua 'cast lots for them in Shiloh before 
the Lord : and there Joshua divided the land unto the 
children of Israel, according to their divisions. 

1 1 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Ben 
came up according to their families : and the 

coast of their lot came up forth n between the children 
of Judah and the children of Joseph. 

12 And their border, on the north side, was from 
Jordan : and the border went up to the side of Jericho 
on the north side, and went up through the mountains 
westward ; and the goings out thereof were at the 
wilderness of ° Beth-aven. 

13 And the border went over from thence toward 
Luz, to the side of p Luz, (which is Beth-el,) south- 
ward ; and the border descended to q Ataroth-adar, 
near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether 
Beth-horon. 

14 And the border was drawn thence, and com- 
passed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill 
that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the 
goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal (which is 




r ch. 15, M> 



The cities of Benjamin. 

Kirjath-jearim,) a city of the children of Judah : this 
was the west quarter. 

15 And the south quarter was from the end of Kir- 
jath-jearim ; and the border went out on the west, 
and went out to the well of waters of r Nephtoah : 

1G And the border came down to the end of the 
mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of 
Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on 
the north, and descended to the valley of 8 Hinnom, <*ch. is, 8 
to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to 
1 En-rogel, 

17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth 
to u En-shemesh, and went forth toward K Geliloth,

by the coasts thereof round about, according to their

1 1 And their border went up toward the sea, and 
Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached

12 And turned from Sarid eastward, toward the

then goeth out to y Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia, 

1 3 And from thence passeth on along on the east to 
Gittah-hepher, to Ittah-kazin, and goeth out to Rem-

14 And tin* border compasseth it on the north side 
to Hannat'non : and the outgoings thereof are in the 
valley of Jiphthah-el : 

15 And Kattath, and z Nahalal, and * Shimron, 
and Idalah, and b Beth-lehem : twelve cities with their 
villages. 

1 6 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun 
according to their families, these cities with their 
villages. 

1 7 And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the

19 And Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath, 

20 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez, 

2 1 And Remeth, and e En-ganniin, and En-haddah, 
and Beth-pazzez ; 

22 And the coast reacheth to f Tabor, and Sha- 
hazimah, and g Beth-shemesh ; and the outgoings of 
their border were at Jordan : sixteen cities with their 
villages. 

23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Issachar according to their families, the cities 
and their villages. 

24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the 
children of Asher according to their families. 

25 And their border was h Helkath, and Hali, and

26 And Alammeiech, and A mad, and ! Misheal ;

27 Andturneth toward the sun-rising to Beth-dagon, 
and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiph- 
thah-el, toward the north side of Beth-emek, and 
Neiel, and goeth out to ' Cabul on the left hand, 

28 And m Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and 
n Kanah, even unto ° great Zidon ; 

29 And then the coast turnetk to Ramah, and to the 
strong city t Tyre ; and the coast turneth to Hosah ; 
and the outgoings thereof are at the sea, from the coast 
to p Achzib : 

30 Ummah also, and q Aphek, and Rehob : twenty 
and two cities with their villages. 

31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Asher according to their families, these cities 
with their villages. 

32 The sixth lot came out to the children of Naph- 
tali, even for the children of Naphtali according to 
their families. 

33 And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon 
to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto 
Lakum ; and the r outgoings thereof were at Jordan ; 

34 And (hen the coast turneth westward to Aznoth- 
tabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and 
reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth 
to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan 
toward the sun-rising. 

35 And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and 
Hammath, Rakkath, and ' Chinnereth, 



36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, 

37 And Kedesh, and u Edrei, and En-hazor, 

38 And Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem, and Beth- 
anath, and Beth-shemesh ; nineteen cities with their 
villages. 

39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Naphtali according to their families, the cities 
and their villages. 

40 And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the 
children of Dan, according to their families. 

41 And the coast of their inheritance was x Zorah,

45 And Jehud, and Bene-berak, and b Gath-rimmon, 

46 And Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border 
|| before Japho. 

47 And the coast of the children of Dan went out 
c too little for them ; therefore the children of Dan went 
up to fight against d Leshem, and took it, and smote 
it with the t edge of the sword, and possessed it, and 
dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the 
name of Dan their father. 

48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Dan according to their families, these cities 
with their villages. 

49 When they had made an end of dividing the land 
for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel 
gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun t among 
them : 

50 According to the t word of the Lord, they gave 
him the city which he asked, even e Timnath-serah in 
mount Ephraim : and he built the city, and dwelt 
therein. 

51 f These are the inheritances which Eleazar the 
priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of 
the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, di- 
vided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the 
Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congrega- 
tion. So they made an end of dividing the country. 

CHAP. XX. 

1 God commandeth, 7 and the children of Israel appoint 
the six cities of refuge. 
HE "Lord also spake unto Joshua, saying, 
2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Ap- 
point out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake 
unto you h by the hand of Moses : 

3 That the slayer that killeth any person t unawares 
and unwittingly may flee thither : and they shall be 
your refuge from the avenger of blood. 

4 And when he that doth flee unto one of those 
cities shall c stand at the entering of the gate of the 
city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the 
elders of that city, they shall t take him into the city 
unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell 
among them. 

5 And if ftie avenger of blood pursue after him, 
then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand ; 
because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated 
him not beforetime. 

6 And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand 
before the congregation for judgment, and d until the 
death of the high priest that shall be in those days: 
then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own 
city, and unto his own house, unto the city from 
whence he fled.

and Kirjath-arba (which is Hebron,) in the g moun- 
tain of Judah. 

8 And on the other side Jordan by Jericho east- 
ward, they assigned h Bezer in the wilderness upon 
the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and ' Ramoth in 
Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan 
out of the tribe of Manasseh. 

9 These were the cities appointed for all the chil- 
dren of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth 
among them, that whosoever kiileth any person at un- 
awares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of 
the avenger of blood, until he stood before the con 
gregation. 

CHAP. XXI. 

Eight and forty cities given unto the Levites. 

THEN came near the a heads of the fathers of 
the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto 
Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the 
fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel ; 

2 And they spake unto them at b Shiloh in the land 
of Canaan, saying, The Lord commanded by the 
c hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the 
suburbs thereof for our cattle. 

3 And the children of Israel d gave unto the Le- 
vites out of their inheritance, at the t commandment 
of the Lord, these cities and their suburbs. 

4 And the lot came out for the families of the e Ko- 
hathites : and the children of Aaron the priest, which 
were of the Levites, had f by lot, out of the tribe of 
Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the 
tribe of Benjamin, g thirteen cities. 

5 And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot,

7 The children of Merari, by their families, had, out

8 And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the 
Levites these cities with their j| suburbs, as the Lord 
commanded by the hand of Moses. 

9 And they gave out of the tribe of the children of 
Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, 
these cities which are here mentioned by name, 

10 Which the children of Aaron, being of the fa- 
milies of the Kohathites, who were of the children of 
Levi, had : for theirs was the first lot. 

1 1 And they gave them the city of ' x\rba, the 
father of Anak (which city is Hebron,) in the hill- 
country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round 
about it. 

12 But the "fields of the city, and the villages 
thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for

with her suburbs, 

1 5 And q Holon with hpr suburbs, and r Debir with

her suburbs, y Geba with her suburbs, 

1 8 z Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with 
her suburbs ; four cities. 

1 9 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, 
were thirteen cities with their suburbs. 

20 And the families of the children of Kohath, the 
Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, 
even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe 
of Ephraim. 

21 For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs 
in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; 
and a Gezer with her subuibs, 

22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Beth-horon 
with her suburbs ; four cities. 

23 And out of the tribe of Dan, b Eltekeh with her

24 d Ajalon with her suburbs, e Gath-rimmon with 
her suburbs 5 four cities. 

25 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, f Taa- 
nach with her suburbs, and Gath-rimmon with her 
suburbs ; two cities. 

26 All the cities were ten, with their suburbs, for 
the families of the children of Kohath that remained. 

27 And unto the children of Gershon, of the fami-

30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her

her suburbs ; four cities. 

32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, ° Keclesh in 
Galiiee with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the 
slayer; and Hammoth-dor with her suburbs, and 
Kartan wit'"-, her suburbs ; three cities. 

33 Ail the cities of + he GershoBites, according to 
their families, were thirteen cities with their suburbs. 

34 And unto the families of the children of Merari, 
the p rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, 
q Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her 

ubiirbs, 

35 Dimnah with her suburbs, ' Nahalal with her 
suburbs ; four cities, 

36 And out of the tribe of Reuben, " Bezer with 
her suburbs, and ' Jahazah with her suburbs, 

37 u Kedemoth with her suburbs, and x Mephaath 
with her suburbs ; four cities.

Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the 
slayer ; and z Mahanaim with her suburbs, 

39 a Heshbon with her suburbs, b Jazer with her 
suburbs ; four cities in all. 

40 So all the cities for the children of Merari, by 
their families, which were remaining of the families of 
the Levites, were, by their lot, twelve cities. 

41 All the cities of the Levites c within the posses- 
sion of the children of Israel were forty and eight 
<?Vies witli their suburbs. 

42 These cities were every one with their suburbs 
round about them : thus were all these cities.

43 IT And the Lord d gave unto Israel all the land 
which he sware to give unto their fathers ; and they 
possessed it, and dwelt therein. 

44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, 
according to all that he sware unto their lathers : and 
there stood not a man of all their enemies before 
them ; the e Lord delivered all the' 1 : enemies into their 
hand. 

45 r There failed not aught of any good thing which 
the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel ; all 
came to pass. 

CHAP. XXII. 

The two tribes and half with a blessing are, sent home. 
HEN a Joshua called the Reubenites, and the 
Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 

2 And said unto them, Ye have b kept all that 
Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and 
have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you : 

3 Ye have c not left your brethren these many days 
unto this day. but have kept the charge of. the com- 
mandment of the Lord your God. 

4 And now the Lord your God hath given rest 
unto your brethren, as he promised them : therefore 
now return ye, and get you unto u your tents, and unto 
the land of your possession, which Moses the servant 
of the Lord gave you on the other side Jordan. 

5 But e take diligent heed to do the commandment 
and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord 
charged you, to f love the Lord your God, and to 
walk in z all has ways, and to keep his commandments, 
and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all 
your heart and with all your soul. 

6 So Joshua h blessed them, and sent them away : 
and they went unto their tents. 

7 Now, to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh, 
Moses had given possession in Bashan ; but unto the 
other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren 
on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua 
sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed 
them ; 

8 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with 
much riches unto your tents, and with very much 
cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and 
with iron, and with very much raiment : ' divide the 
spoil of your enemies with your brethren. 

9 And the children of Reuben, and the children of 
Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, returned, and 
departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, 
which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the coun- 
try of k Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof 
they were possessed, according to the word of the 
Lord by the hand of Moses. 

10 TT And when they came unto t the borders of 
Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children 
of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half 
tribe of Manasseh, built there an ' altar by Jordan, a 
great altar to see to. 

11 And the children of Israel m heard say, Behold, 
the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and 
the half tribe of Manasseh, have built an altar over 
against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, 
at the passage of the children of Israel. 

12 And when the children of Israel heard o/itfthe 
whole congregation of the children of Israel "gathered 
themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to ° war 
against them. 

13 And the children of Israel p sent unto the chil- 
dren of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to

the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, 
'' Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest ; 

1 4 And with him ten princes, of each chief house 
a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel ; and each 
one was a head of the house of their fathers among Psai.112,5 
the thousands of Israel. Prov. 25,13. 

15 And they came unto the children of Reuben, 
and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of 
Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead; and they spake 
with them, saying, 

16 Thus saith the r whole congregation of the Lord, ri Conn. 1, 
What trespass is this that ye have committed against 
the God of Israel, to turn away this day from follow- 
ing the Lord, in that ye have builded you an altar, 
that ye might s rebel this day against the IiORD ? 

1 7 Is the iniquity of 4 Peor too little for us, from 
which we are not cleansed until this day, although 23 
there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord, tNum'is'' 

18 But that ye must turn away this day from fol- 3. 
lowing the Lord ? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to- ^trl's'iV' 
day against the Lord, that u to-morrow he will be 14. 
wroth with the x whole congregation of Israel. u ver - 2 , 4 ■* H - 

1 9 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession Mat e, 34. 
be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the 1 Corin. 15, 
possession of the Lord, wherein the Lord's taber- x chap. 7, 1. 
nacle y dwelleth, and take possession among us : but y ch - 18 > *• 
rebel not against the Lord, nor rebel against us, in 
building you an altar, besides the altar of the Lord 

our God. 

20 Did not z Achan the son of Zerah commit a 
trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all 
the congregation of Israel ? and that man perished 
not alone in his iniquity. 

21 a Then the children of Reuben, and the children 
of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, answered 
and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel, 

22 The Lord b God of gods, the Lord God of gods, ^u/'io 
he c knoweth, and Israel he shall know ; if it be in 17. c 

u rebellion, or if in transgression against the Lord, ^J- 8 |> '■ 
(save us not this day,) ie. '"'' ' 

23 That we have built us an altar to turn from Rev - V> 16 - 
following the Lord, or if to offer thereon burnt-offer- Heb. 4,' 13! 
ing or meat-offering, or if to offer peace-offerings <i v «rse it>. 
thereon, let the Lord himself require it; 

24 And if we have not rather done it t for fear of t Heb. Out 
this thing, saying, t In time to come your children g^Tb 19 
might speak unto our children, saying, What have you Psai! 44, 1' 
to do with the Lord God of Israel ? £; u :u - 28 - 

25 For the Lord hath made Jordan a border be- 2Corin. 12, 
tween us and you ; ye children of Reuben, and chil- \\,„ h To 
dren of Gad, ye have e no part in the Lord : so shall 
your children make our children cease from fearing 
the Lord. 

26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build ss»m.ao,i. 
us an altar, f not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice : f verses 10 

27 But that it may be E a witness between us and , ( ' )hn 7 Mi 
you, and our generations after us, that we might do jGen 31, 
the service of the Lord before him with our burnt- yc ^ ( _,, 
offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace- ch 24, 27. 
offerings ; that your children may not say to our 
children in time to come, Ye have no part in the 

Lord. 

28 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they 
should so say to us, or to our generations in time to 
come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of 
the altar of the Lord, "which our fathers made, not 
for burnt-offerings, nor fur sacrifices ; but it is a wit- 
ness between us anil you.

Lord, and turn this day from following the Lord, to 
build an altar for burnt-offerings, for meat-offerings, 
or for sacrifices, besides the altar of the Lord our God 
that is before his tabernacle. 

30 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes 
of the congregation, and heads of the thousands of 
Israel which were with him, heard the words that the 
children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and the 
children of Manasseh, spake, t it pleased them. 

3 1 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said 
unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of 
Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we 
perceive that the Lord is h among us, because ye have 
not committed this trespass against the Lord : t now 
ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the 
hand of the Lord. 

32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and 
the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, 
and from the children of Gad, out of the land of 
Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of 
Israel, and ' brought them word again. 

33 And the thing pleased the children of Israel ; 
and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not 
intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the 
land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad 
dwell. 

34 And the children of Reuben, and the children 
of Gad, called the altar || Ed : for it shall be a witness 
between us that k the Lord is God. 

CHAP. XXIII. 

1 Joshua'' s exhortation before his death, 3 by former benefits, 
5 by promises, 1 1 and by threatenings. 

ND it came to pass, t a long time after that a the 
Lord had given rest unto Israel from all their 
enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and 
stricken in age. 

2 And Joshua b called for all Israel, and for their 
elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and 
for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and 
stricken in age : 

3 And ye have c seen all that d the Lord your God 
hath clone unto all these nations because of you : for 
the Lord your God is he that hath fought for you. 

4 Behold, I have divided unto you by e lot these 
nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your 
tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have 
cut off, even unto the great sea westward. 

5 And the Lord your God, f he shall expel them 
from before you, and drive them from out of your sight ; 
and ye shall possess their land, as the Lord your God 
hath promised unto you. 

6 Be ye therefore g very courageous, to keep and to 
do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, 
that ye turn not aside therefrom to the h right hand or 
to the left ; 

7 That ye j come not among these nations, these 
that remain among you; neither k make mention of 
the name of their gods, nor cause to ' swear by them, 
neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them : 

8 But m cleave unto the Lord your God, as ye have 
done unto this day. 

9 For the Lord hath driven out from before you 
great nations and strong : but as for you, no man hath 
been able to stand before you unto this day. 

10 "One man of you shall chase a thousand : for 
the Lord your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as 
he hath promised you. 



1 1 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that 
ye love the Lord your God. 

12 Else if ye do in any wise °go back, and cleave 
unto the remnant of these nations, even these that re- 
main among you, and shall make marriages with them, 
and go in unto them, and they to you : 

1 3 Know for a certainty that the Lord your God 
will no more drive out any of these nations from be- 
fore you ; but they shall be t snares and traps unto 
you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in j'our 
eyes, until ye perish from off this good land, which 
the Lord your God hath given you. 

14 And, behold, this day I am p going the way of 
all the earth : and ye know in all your hearts, and in 
ail your souls, that q not one thing hath failed of all 
the good things which the Lord your God spake con- 
cerning you ; all are come to pass unto you, and not 
one thing hath failed thereof. 

15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as r all 
good things are come upon you, which the Lord your 
God promised you ; so shall the Lord bring upon you 
s all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off 
this good land which the Lord your God hath given 
you. 

1 6 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the 
Lord your God, which he commanded you, and have 
gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to 
them ; then shall the anger of the Lord be kindled 
against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the 
good land which he hath given unto you. 

CHAP. XXIV. " 

1 Joshua assembleth the tribes at Shechem. 14 He renewetit 
a covenant between them and God. 
ND Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to 
a Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, 
and for their heads, and for their judges, and for 
their officers ; and they presented themselves before 
God. 

2 And Joshua said unto b all the people, Thus saith 
the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the 
other side of l the c flood in old time, even d Terah the 
father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor : and 
they e served other gods. 

3 And f I took your father Abraham from the other 
side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land 
of Canaan, and g multiplied his seed, and h gave him 
Isaac. 

4 And I gave unto Isaac, l Jacob and Esau ; and 
k I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it : but 
1 Jacob and his children went down into Kgypt. 

5 m I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued 
Egypt, according to that which I did among them : 
and afterward I brought you out. 

6 And I n brought your fathers out of Egypt : and 
you came unto the sea ; and the Egyptians pursued 
after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto 
the Red Sea. 

7 And when they cried unto the Lord, he p put 
darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought 
the sea upon them, and covered them : and your eyes 
have seen what I have done in Egypt : and ye dwelt 
in the wilderness q a long season. 

8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, 
which dwelt on the other side Jordan ; and they fought 
1 with you : and I gave them into your hand, that ye 
might possess their land ; and I destroyed them from 
before yon.

arose and || warred against Israel, and 8 sent and called 
Balaam the son of Beor to curse you : 

10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; there- 
fore he blessed you still : so I delivered you out of his 
hand. 

1 1 And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jeri- 
cho : and the men of Jericho l fought against you, the 
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and 
the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the 
Jebusites ; and I delivered them into your hand. 

1 2 And I sent the " hornet before you, which drave 
them out from before you, even the two kings of the 
Amorites ; but x not with thy sword, nor with thy bow. 

13 And I have given you a land for which ye did 
y not labour, and z cities which ye built not, and ye 
dwell in them ; of the vineyards and oliveyards which 
ye planted not, do ye eat. 

14 Now a therefore fear the Lord, and serve him 
b in sincerity and in c truth : and put away the gods 
which your d fathers served on the other side of the 
flood, and in Egypt ; and serve ye the Lord. 

1 5 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, 
choose you this day whom you will serve ; whether the 
gods which your fathers served, that were on the other 
side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose 
land ye dwell : but e as for me and my house, we will 
serve the Lord. 

1 6 A^d the people answered and said, God forbid 
that we should forsake the Lord, to serve other gods ; 

17 For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us 
up, and our fathers, out of the land of Egypt, from 
the house of bondage, and which did those great signs 
in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein 
we went, and among all the people through whom we 
passed : 

18 And the Lofd drave out from before us all the 
people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land : 
therefore will we also serve the Lord ; for he is our 
God. 

19 And Joshua said unto the- people, || Ye cannot 
serve the Lord : for he is a t holy God ; he is a jealous 
God ; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your 
sins. 

20 If ye f forsake the Lord, and serve strange gods, 



then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, 
after that he hath done you good. 

21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay, but we 
will serve the Lord. 

22 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are wit- 
nesses g against yourselves that ye have chosen you the 
Lord, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. 

23 Now therefore h put away, said he, the strange 
gods which are among you, and incline your heart 
unto the Lord God of Israel. . 

24 And the people said unto Joshua, The Lord 
our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey. 

25 So Joshua ' made a covenant with the people 
that da)', and set them a statute and an ordinance in 
Shechem. 

26 And Joshua k wrote these words in the book of the 
law of God, and took a great stone, and ' set it up there 
under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the Lord. 

27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, 
m this stone shall be a witness unto us ; for it hath 
n heard all the words of the Lord which he spake 
unto us : it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest 
ye deny your God. 

28 So Joshua let the people depart, every man 
unto his inheritance. 

29 And it came to pass after these things, that 
Joshua the son of Nun, the ° servant of the Lord, 
died, being a hundred and ten years old. 

30 And they buried him in the border of his inherit- 
ance in P Timnath-serah, which is in mount Ephraim, 
on the north side of the hill of q Gaash. 

31 And Israel served the Lord all the days of 
Joshua, and r all the days of the elders that overlived 
Joshua, and which had known all the works of the 
Lord, that he had done for Israel. 

32 And the s bones of Joseph, which the children 
of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in 
1 Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought 
of the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a 
hundred pieces of silver : and it became the inherit- 
ance of the children of Joseph. 

33 And Eleazar, the son of Aaron, died ; and they 
buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, 
which was given him in mount Ephraim.

NOW, "after the death of Joshua, it came to pass, 
that the children of Israel b asked the Lord, 
saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaan- 
ites first, to fight against them ? 

2 And the Lord said, c Judah shall go up : behold, 
I have delivered the land into d his hand. 

3 And Judah said unto e Simeon his brother, Come 
up with me into f my lot, that we may fight against 
the Canaanites ; and I likewise will go with thee into 
g thy lot. So Simeon went with him. 

4 And Judah went up ; and the Lord delivered 
the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand : 
and they slew of them in b Bezek ten thousand men. 

5 And they found Adoni-bezek ; n Bezek ; and I hey 
fcught against him, and they slew the Canaanites and 
the Perizzites. 

6 But Adoni-bezek fled : and they pursued after 



him, and caught him, and ' cut off his thumbs and his 
great toes. 

7 And Adoni-bezek said, k Threescore and -ten 
kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut 
off, gathered their meat under my table : ' as I have 
done, so God hath requited me. And they brought 
him to Jerusalem, and there he died. 

8 IT Now the children of Judah had fought against 
Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the 
edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. 

9 And m afterward the children of Judah went 
down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in 
the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley. 

10 And Judah || went against the Canaanites that 
dwelt in Hebron, (now the name of Hebron before 
was Kirjath-arba,) and they slew n Sheshai, and 
Ahiman, and Tahnai. , 

11 And from thence he went apninst the inhabit- 
ants of Debir ; (and the name of Dehir before was 
Kirjath-sepher :)

12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, 
and taketb it, ° to him will i give Achsah my daughter 
to wife. 

1 3 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's p young- 
er brother, took it : and he gave him Achsah his 
daughter to wife. 

14 And it came to pass, when she came to him, that 
she moved him to ask of her father a field : and she 
lighted from off her ass ; and Caleb said unto her, 
What wilt thou ? 

1 5 And she said unto him, Give me q a blessing : for 
thou hast given me a south land, give me also springs 
of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and 
the nether springs. 

16 IF And the children of the r Kenite, Moses' 
father-in-law, went up cut. of the city of palm-trees 
with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Ju- 
dah, which lieth in the south of Arad : and they went 
and dwelt among the people. 

17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and 
they slew the Canaanites that inhabited s Zephath, 
and utterly destroyed it : (And the name of the city 
was called l Hormah.) 

18 Also Judah took u Gaza with the coast thereof, 
and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with 
the coast thereof. 

1 9 And x the Lord was with Judah, and he drave 
out the inhabitants of the mountain, but >' could not 
drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they 
had z chariots of iron. 

20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses 
said : and he expelled thence the a three sons of Anak. 

21 IF And the children of Benjamin did not drive 
out the Jebusites b that inhabited Jerusalem ; but the 
Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in 
Jerusalem unto this day. 

22 IT And the house of Joseph, they also went up 
against Beth-el : and c the Lord was with them. 

23 And the house of Joseph sent to a descry Beth-el : 
(Now the name of the city before tvas e Luz.)

1 An angel rebuketh the people at Bochim. 20 The Ca- 
naanites are left to prove Israel. 
ND an || angel of the Lord came up from a Gil- 
gal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up 
out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land 
which I b sware unto your fathers ; and I said, I will 
never break my covenant with you. 

2 And ye shall make c no league with the inha- 
bitants of this land ; ye shall a throw down their al- 
tars : but ye have not obeyed my voice : why have 
ye done this ? 

3 Wherefore I also said, e 1 will not drive them out 
from before you ; but they shall be as thorns in your 
f sides, and their s gods shall be a snare unto you. 

4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the Lord 
spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that 
the people h lifted up their voice, and wept. 

5 And they called the name of that place || Bo- 
chim : and they sacrificed there unto the Lord. 

6 IF And when Joshua had ' let the people go, the 
children of Israel went every man unto his inherit- 
ance to possess the land. 

7 And the people served the Lord all the days of 
Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived 
Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord, 
that he did for Israel. 

8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the 
Lord, died, being a hundred and ten years old. 

9 And they buried him in the border of his inherit- 
ance in k Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, 
on the north side of the hill Gaash. 

10 And also all that generation were 'gathered 
unto their fathers : and there arose another generation 
after them, which m knew not the Lord, nor yet the 
n works which he had done for Israel. 

1 1 And the children of Israel did evil in the ° sight 
of the Lord, and served Baalim: 

12 And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, 
which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and 
followed p other gods, of the gods of the people that 
were round about them, and q bowed themselves unto 
them, and provoked the Lord to anger. 

1 3 And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal

and to bow down unto them : they ceased not from 
their own doings, nor from their t stubborn way. 

20 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Is- 
rael ; and he said, Because that this people hath 
transgressed my covenant which 1 commanded then- 
fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice, 

21 I also will f not henceforth drive out any from 
before them of the nations which Joshua g left when 
he died ; 

22 That through them I may h prove Israel, whether 
they will keep the way of the Lord, to walk therein, 
as their fathers did keep it, or not. 

33 Therefore the Lord left those nations, without 
driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them 
into the hand of Joshua. 

CHAP. III. 

1 The nations which were left to prove Israel: 5 By com- 
munion with them, they commit idolatry. 
NOW these are the nations which the Lord left, 
to a prove Israel by them ; {even as many of 
Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan ; 

2 Only that the generations of the children of Is- 
rael might know b to teach them war, at the least such 
as before c knew nothing thereof;) 

3 Namely, ''hve lords of the Philistines, and all the 
Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that 

l Sam. 4, i, dwelt in e mount Lebanon, from mount r Baal-hermon 
e Deut. 1,7. unto the entering in of Hamath. 

4 And they were to prove Israel by them, E to know 
whether they would hearken unto the command- 
ments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers 
by the hand of Moses. 

5 IT And the children of Israel dwelt among (he 
Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, 
and Hivites, and Jebusites : 

6 And they h took their daughters to be their wives, 
and gave their daughters to their sons, and ' served 
their gods. 

7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of 
the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and served 
Baalim and the groves. 

8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was k hot against 
Israel, ' and he sold them into the hand of Chushan- 
rishathaim king of Mesopotamia : and (he children of 
Israel served Chushan-i ishathaim m eight years.

9 And n when the children of Israel cried unto the 
Lord, the Lord raised up a t deliverer to the children 
of Israel, who delivered diem, even ° Othniel the son 
of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. 

10 And the Spirit of (he Lord came upon him, and saviour, 
he judged Israel, and went out to war : and the Lord p^""] 4 ' ^' 
delivered Clmshan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia 
into his hand ; and his hand prevailed against Ciiu- 
shan-rishathaim. 

1 1 And the land had p rest forty years : and Othniel 
the son of Kenaz died. 

12 IT And the children of Israel did q evil again in 
the sight of the Lord : and the Lord r strengthened 
Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they Joimi9, 11. 
had done evil in the sight of the Lord. 

1 3 And he gathered unto him the children of s Am- s Ps. 83, 7. 
mon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and 
possessed the city of * palm-trees. tDeut.34,3. 

14 So the children of Israel u served Eglon the king u Deut. 28 
of Moab eighteen years. 47, 

15 But when the children of Israel x cried unto the xPs. so, is. 
Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the 
son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left-handed : and by 
him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon 
the king of Moab. 

16 But Ehud made him a dagger, which had t two 
edges, of a cubit length ; and he did gird it under his 
raiment upon his right thigh. 

17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of 
Moab ; and Eglon was a very fat man. 

18 And when he had made an end to offer the 
present, he sent away the people (hat bare the present. 

19 But he himself turned again from the || quarries 
that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand 
unto thee, O king : who said, Keep silence. And all 
that stood by him went out from him. 

20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was silting 
in a summer parlour, which he had for himself, alone: 
and Ehud said, I have t a message from God unto 
thee. And he y arose out of his seat. 

21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the 
dagger from his right thigh, and L thrust it into his belly. 

22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and 
the fat closed upon the Wade, so that he could

there escaped not a man. 

30 So iVFoab was subdued that day under the hand 
of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years. 

31 And after him was e Shamgar, the son of Anath, 
which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an 
f ox-goad : and he also delivered Israel. 

CHAP. IV. 

6 Deborah and Barak deliver Israel from Jahin and 
Sisera. 
ND the children of Israel a again did evil in the 
sight of the Lord, when Ehud was dead. 

2 And the Lord b sold them into the hand of c Jabin 
king of Canaan, that reigned in d Hazor ; the captain 
of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in e Harosheth 
of the Gentiles. 

3 And the cliildren of Israel cried unto the Lord ; 
for he had nine hundred chariots of iron : and f twenty 
years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. 

4 And g Deborah a prophetess, the wife of Lapi- 
doth, she judged Israel at that time. 

5 And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah, 
between Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim ; and 
the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. 

6 And she sent and called Barak, the son of Abi- 
noam, out of h Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, 
1 Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, say- 
ing, k Go, and draw toward ' mount Tabor, and take 
with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naph- 
tali and of the children of Zebulun ? 

7 And m I will draw unto thee, to the river D Ki- 
shon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his 
chariots and his multitude ; and I will deliver him 
into thine hand. 

8 And Barak said unto her, ° If thou wilt go with 
me, then I will go ; but if thou wilt not go with me, 
then I will not go. 

9 And she said, I will surely go with thee : not- 
withstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be 
for thine honour ; for the Lord shall p sell Sisera into 
the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went 
with Barak to Kedesh. 

10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to 
Kedesh ; and he went up with ten thousand men q at 
his feet : and Deborah went up with him. 

1 1 Now Heber the r Kenite, which was of the 
children of s Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, 
had severed himself from the t Kenites, and pitched 
his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by 
Kedesh. 

1 2 And they shewed Sisera that Barak, the son of 
Abinoam, was gone up to mount Tabor. 

1 3 And Sisera t gathered together all his chariots, 
even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people 
that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles 
unto the river of Kishon. 

1 4 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up ; for this is 
the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into 
thine hand : is not the Lord l gone out before thee ? 
So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten 
thousand men after him. 

1 5 And the Lord u discomfited Sisera, and all his 
chariots, and all his host, with the t edge of the sword, 
before Barak ; so that Sisera lighted down off his 
chariot, and fled away on his feet. 

1 ^ But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after 
the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles : and ail the 



host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword ; and 
there was not t a man left. 

17 Howbeit, Sisera fled away on his feet to the 
tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite : for there 
teas peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the 
house of Heber the Kenite. 

18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said 
unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me ; fear not : 
and when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she 
covered Ulna with a mantle. 

19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a 
little water to drink : for I am thirsty : and she open- 
ed a x bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and cover- 
ed him.. 

20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the 
tent; and it shall be, when any man doth come and 
inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here ? that 
thou shalt say, y No. 

21 Then Jael, Heber's wife, took z a nail of the 
tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly 
unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and 
fastened it into the ground ; (for he was fast asleep, 
and weary :) so he died. 

22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael 
came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and 
I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And 
when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, 
and the nail was in his temples. 

23 So a God subdued on that day Jabin the king of 
Canaan before the children of Israel. 

24 And the hand of the children of Israel t prosper- 
ed, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, 
until they had destroyed Jabin king of b Canaan. 

CHAP. V. 

The song of Deborah and Barak. 

THEN a sang Deborah, and Barak the son of 
Abinoam, on that day, saying, 

2 Praise ye the Lord for the b avenging of Israel, 
when the c people d willingly offered themselves. 

3 e Hear, O ye kings ; give ear, O ye princes : I, 
even I, will sing unto the Lord ; I will sing praise to 
the Lord God of Israel. 

4 Lord, when thou f wentest out of Seir, when 
thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the g earth 
trembled, and the h heavens dropped, the clouds also 
dropped water. 

5 The mountains melted from before the Lord, 
even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel. 

6 In the days of ■ Shamgar the son of Anath, hi 
the days of Jael, the k highways were unoccupied, 
and the travellers walked tlirough by-ways. 

7 The inhabitants of the 1 villages ceased, they 
ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I 
arose a m mother in Israel. 

8 They chose D new gods ; then was war in the 
gates : was there ° a shield or spear seen among forty 
thousand in Israel ? 

9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that 
offered themselves p willingly among the people. 
Bless ye the Lord. 

1 i Speak, ye that ride on r white asses, ye that 
s sit in judgment, and walk by the way. 

1 1 They that are delivered from t the noise of arch- 
ers in the places of drawing water, there shall they 
rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the 
righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in 
Israel : then shall the people of the Lord go down to 
the gates,

1 3 Then he made him that remaineth have y do- 
minion over the nobles among the people : the Lord 
made me have dominion over the mighty. 

1 4 Out of Ephraim was t/iere a root of them against 
Amalek ; z after thee, Benjamin, among thy people : 
out of Machir came down governors, and out of Ze- 
bulun they that handle the pen of the writer. 

15 And the princes of Issachar were with Debo- 
rah ; even Issachar, and also Barak : he was sent on 
t foot into the valley. || For the divisions of Reuben 
t there were great thoughts of heart. 

16 Why abodest thou among the sheep-folds, to 
hear the a bleatings of the flocks ? For the divisions of 
Reuben there were great searchings of heart. 

1 7 Gilead abode beyond Jordan : and why did 
Dan remain in ships ? Asher continued on the sea- 
shore, and abode in his breaches. 

18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that 
b jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high 
places of the field. 

19 The c kings came and fought; then fought the 
kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megid- 
do : they took no gain of money. 

20 They d fought from heaven ; the stars in their 
courses fought against Sisera. 

21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that 
ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou 
hast trodden down strength. 

22 Then were the e horse-hoofs broken by the means 
of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones. 

23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord ; 
curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because 
they came not to the f help of the Lord, to the help of 
the Lord against the mighty. 

24 g Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of 
Heber the Kenite be; blessed shall she be above 
women in the h tent. 

25 He asked water, and she gave him milk ; she 
brought forth butter in a lordly dish. 

26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand 
to the workman's hammer ; and with the hammer she 
smote Sisera ; she |j smote off his head, when she had 
pierced and stricken through his temples. 

27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down : at 
her feet he bowed, he fell ; where he bowed, there 
he fell down ' dead. 

28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, 
and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so 
long in coming 1 why tarry the wheels of his chariots ? 

29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned 
answer to herself, 

30 Have they not sped ? have they not divided the 
prey ; to every man a damsel or two ? to Sisera a prey 
of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needle- 
work, of divers colours of needle-work on both sides, 
meet for the necks of them that take the spoil ? 

31 k So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord : but 
let them that ' love him be as the m sun when he goetb 
forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 TTie Israelites for their sin are oppressed by Midian. 31 
Joash defendeth his son, and calleth him Jerubbaal. 

AND the children of Israel did evil in the sight of 
the Lord ; and the Lord delivered them into the 
hand of a Midian seven years. 



2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel : 
and because of the Midianites the children of Israel 
made them the b dens which are in the mountains, and 
caves, and strong holds. 

3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the 
Midianites came up, and the c Amalekites, and the 
d children of the east, even they came up against them ; 

4 And they encamped against them, and e destroyed 
the increase of the earth, till thou come unto f Gaza ; 
and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor 
ox, nor ass. 

5 For they came up with their cattle, and their 
g tents, and they came h as grasshoppers for multitude : 
for both they and their camels were t without num- 
ber : and they entered into the land to destroy it. 

6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of 
the Midianites; and the children of Israel ' cried unto 
the Lord. 

7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel 
cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites, 

8 That the Lord sent t a prophet unto the children 
of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and 
brought you forth out of the house of bondage ; 

9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyp- 
tians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, 
and k drave them out from before you, and gave you 
their land : 

10 And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God ; 
fear not the ' gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye 
dwell : but ye have not obeyed my voice. 

1 1 IT And there came an m angel of the Lord, and 
sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that j>ertained 
unto Joash the n Abi-ezrite : and his son Gideon 
threshed wheat by the wine-press, to t hide it from 
the Midianites. 

12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, 
and said unto him, The Lord is ° with thee, thou 
mighty man of valour. 

1 3 And Gideon said unto him, p Oh, my Lord, if the 
Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us ? 
and q where be all his miracles which our fathers 
told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from 
Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and de- 
livered us into the hands of the Midianites. 

14 And the Lord 'looked upon him, and said, Go 
in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the 
hand of the Midianites : 8 have not I sent thee ? 

15 And he said unto him, Oh, my Lord, 'where- 
with shall I save Israel ? behold, my t family is poor 
in Manasseh, and I am the u least in my father's house. 

16 And the Lord said unto him, Surely I will be 
x with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as 
one man. 

1 7 IF And he said unto him, If now I have found 
grace in thy sight, then y shew me a sign that thou 
talkest with me. 

1 8 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come un- 
to thee, and bring forth my z present, and set it before 
thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again. 

19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid. 
and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh 
lie put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and 
brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. 

20 And the angel of God said unto linn, 1 ake the 
flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon 
this rock, and » pour out the broth. And lie did so. 

21 Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of

the staff that icas in his hand, and touched the flesh 
and the unleavened cakes ; and there rose up b fire out 
of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleaven- 
ed cakes. Then the angel of the Lord departed out 
of his sight. 

22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an 
angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God ! 
for c because I have seen an angel of the Lord d face 
to face. 

23 And the Lord said unto him, e Peace be unto 
thee ; fear not : thou shalt not die. 

24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, 
and called it Jehovah-shalom : unto this day it is yet 
in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites. 

25 And it came to pass the same night, that the 
Lord said unto him, Take thy f father's young bullock, 
even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw 
down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut 
down the grove that is by it ; 

26 And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon 
the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take 
the second bullock, and offer a burnt-sacrifice with 
the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down. 

27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and 
E did as the Lord had said unto him : and 50 it was, 
because he feared his father's household, and the men 
of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did 
it by h night. 

28 And when the men of the city arose early in the 
morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, 
and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the 
second bullock was offered upon the altar that was 
built. 

29 And they said one to another, Who hath done 
this thing ? And when they inquired and asked, they 
said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. 

30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring 
out thy son, that he may ' die : because he hath cast 
down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down 
the grove that was by it. 

31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, 
Will ye k plead for Baal ? will ye save him ? he that 
will plead for him, let him be put ] to death whilst it 
is yet morning : if he be a god, let him plead for himself, 
because one hath cast down his altar. 

32 Therefore on that day he called him || Jerub- 
baal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he 
hath thrown down his altar. 

33 IF Then all the Midianites, and the Amalekites, 
and the children of the east, were gathered toge- 
ther, m and went over, and pitched in the n valley of 
Jezreel. 

34 But the Spirit of the Lord t came upon Gideon, 
and he ° blew a trumpet : and Abi-ezer t was gathered 
after him. 

35 And lie sent messengers throughout all Manas- 
seh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent 
messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto 
Naphtali ; and they came up to meet them. 

36 And Gideon said unto God, p If thou wilt save 
Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, 

37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor ; 
and if the l] dew be on the r fleece only, and it be dry 
upon all the earth besides, then shall I know that thou 
wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. 

38 And it was so : for he rose up early on the mor- 
row, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the

Let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the

2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that 
are with thee are b too many for me to give the Mi- 
dianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves 
against me, saying, c Mine own hand hath saved me. cExou\8,& 

3 Now, therefore, go to, proclaim in the ears of 
the people, saying, u Whosoever is fearful and afraid, jj Deut ^ 
let him return, and t depart early from mount Gilead : Mat. 13, 21. 
and there returned of the people twenty and two thou- Re ^- 17 > 14 -

4 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people are Psalm li.fc 
yet too many ; bring them down unto the water, and \ a te^ r ur^' 
I will t try them for thee there : and it shall be, that fy, ' 
of e whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, ^s^'ir 
the same shall go with thee ; and of whomsoever I 6, 7. 
say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same 
shall not go. 

5 So he brought down the people unto the water : 
and the Lord said unto Gideon, Every one that 
f lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lap- ( isa. 13, a. 
peth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every 
one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. 

6 And the number of them that lapped, putting 
their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men : 
but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their 
knees to drink water. 

7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, g By the three S| h - 18 > | 
hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver 
the Midianites into thine hand : and let all the other 
people go every man unto his place. 

8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their 
h trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel, every 
man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred 
men. And the host of Midian was beneath him in 
the valley.

1 1 And thou shalt k hear what they say ; and after-

in the host. 

12 And the m Midianites, and the Amalekites, and men. 6,

unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, 
that the tent lay along. 

14 And his fellow answered and said, p This is no- 
thing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, 
a man of Israel :for into his hand hath God delivered 
Midian, and all the host. 

1 5 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling 
of the dream, and the f interpretation thereof, that he 
worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and 
said, q Arise ; for the Lord hath delivered into your 
hand the host of Midian. 

16 And he divided the three hundred men into three 
companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, 
with r empty pitchers, and s lamps within the pitchers. 

17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do 
likewise : and, behold, when I come to the outside of 
the camp, it shall be, that as I do, so shall ye do. 

1 8 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are 
with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side 
of all the camp, and say, * The sword of the Lord, 
and of Gideon. 

1 9 So Gideon, and the hundred men that xoere with 
him, came unto the outside of the camp, in the begin- 
ning of the u middle watch ; and they had but newly 
set the watch : and they blew the trumpets, and 
x brake the pitchers, that were in their hands. 

20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and 
brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left 
hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow 
withal ; and they cried, The sword of the Lord, and 
of Gideon. 

21 And they y stood every man in his place round 
about the camp : and all the z host ran, and cried, 
and fled. 

22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and 
the a Lord set every man's sword against his fellow, 
even throughout all the host : and the host fled to 
Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of b Abel 
meholah, unto Tabbath. 

23 And the men of Israel c gathered themselves 
together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out 
of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites. 

24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all 
d mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the 
Midianites, and take before them the e waters unto 
Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim 
gathered themselves together, and took the waters 
unto f Beth-barah and Jordan. 

25 And they took s two princes of the Midianites, 
Oreb and Zeeb ; and they slew Oreb upon the '' rock 
Orel), and Zeeb they slew at the ' wine-press of Zeeb, 
and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb 
and Zeeb to Gideon on the other k side Jordan.

he, and the three hundred men that were with him, 
faint, yet pursuing them. 

5 And he said unto the men of c Succoth, Give, I 
pray you, d loaves of bread unto the people that follow 
me ; for they be faint, and I am e pursuing after Zebah 
and Zalmunna, kings of Midian. 

6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the f hands 
of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hands, that we 
should s give bread unto thine army ? 

7 And Gideon said, Therefore, when the Lord 
hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, 
then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wil- 
derness and with briers. 

8 And he went up thence to h Penuel, and spake 
unto them likewise : and the men of Penuel answered 
him as the men of Succoth had answered him. 

9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, say- 
ing, When I come again ' in peace, I will break 
down k this tower. 

1 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and 
their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all 
that were left of all the hosts of the children of the 
east : for there fell ' a hundred and twenty thousand 
m men that drew sword. 

1 1 And Gideon went up by the way of them that 
dwelt in tents, on the east of " Nobah and Jogbehah, 
and smote the host : for the host was ° secure. 

12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna p fled, he pur- 
sued after them, and took Ihe two kings of Midian, 
Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host. 

13 And Gideon, the son of Joash, returned from 
battle q before the sun was up, 

14 And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, 
and inquired of him : and he described unto him the 
princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even three- 
score and seventeen men. 

15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and 
said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye 
did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and 
Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give 
bread unto thy men that are weary ? 

16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns 
of the wilderness and briers, and with them he t taught 
the men of Succoth. 

1 7 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and 
slew the r men of the city. 

18 Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What 
manner of men were they whom ye slew at s Tabor ? 
And they answered, l As thou art, so were they ; 
each one resembled the children of a king. 

1 9 And he said, They were my brethren, even the 
sons of my mother : as the Lord liveth, if ye had 
saved them alive, I would not slay you. 

20 And he said unto Jether his first-born, u Up, and 
slay them : but the youth drew not his sword ; for he 
feared, because he was yet a youth. 

21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, x Rise thou, 
and fall upon us : for as the man is, so is his strength. 
And Gideon arose, and ^slew Zebah and Zalmunna, 
and took away the ornaments that were on their 
camels' necks. 

22 IT Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, 
'Rule thou over us, both thou and thy son, and thy 
son's son also; for thou hast delivered us from the 
hand of Midian. 

23 And Gideon said unto them, * I will not rule 
over you, neither shall my son rule over you : b the 
Lord shall rule over you.

24 And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a 
request of you, that ye would give me every man the 
ear-rings of his prey : (for they had golden c ear-rings, 
because they were d Ishmaelites.) 

25 And they answered, We will willingly give 
them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein 
every man the ear-rings of his prey. 

26 And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he 
requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels 
of gold, besides ornaments, and collars,, and purple 
raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides 
the chains that were about their camels' necks. 

27 And Gideon e made an r ephod thereof, and 
s put it in his city, even in Ophrah : and all Israel went 
thither a h whoring after it; which tiring became ' a 
snare unto Gideon, and to his house. 

28 Thus was Midian subdued before the children 
of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more : 
and the country was in quietness k forty years in the 
days of Gideon. 

29 IT And Jerubbaal the son of Joash, went and 
1 dwelt in his own house. 

30 And Gideon had threescore and ten sons t of 
his body begotten : for he had many wives. 

31 And his m concubine, that was in Shechem, she 
also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech. 

32 And Gideon, the son of Joash, died in n a good 
old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his 
father, in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites. 

33 And it came to pass, ° as soon as Gideon was 
dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and 
went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith 
their god. 

34 And the children of Israel p remembered not 
the Lord their God, who had delivered them out of 
the hands of all their enemies on every side : 

35 Neither q shewed they kindness to the house of 
Jerubbaal, namely Gideon, according to all the good- 
ness which he had shewed unto Israel.

2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of 
Shechem, Whether is better for you either that all 
the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten 
persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you ? 
remember also that I am your bone and your flesh. 

3 And his mother's brethren c spake of him in the 
ears of all the men of Shechem all these words : and 
their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech ; for they 
said, He is our brother. 

4 And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of 
silver out of the house of Baal-berith •, wherewith 
Abimelech hired d vain and light persons, which fol- 
lowed him. 

5 And he went unto nis father's house at Ophrah, 
and e slew his brethren, the sons of Jerubbaal, being 
threescore and ten persons, upon one stone : notwith- 
standing, yet Jothani, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, 
was left : for he hid himself. 

6 And all tr.e men of Shechem gathered together, 
and all the house of f Milio, and went and t made 
Abimelech king, by the || plain of the pillar that was 
in Shechem. 



7 And when they told it to Jotham, he went and 
stood in the top of £ mount Gerizim, and lifted up his 
voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto 
me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken 
unto you. 

8 The h trees went forth on a time to anoint a king 
over them : and they said unto the olive-tree, Reign 
thou over us. 

9 But the olive-tree said unto them, Should I leave 
my fatness, ' wherewith by me they honour God and 
man, and t go to be promoted over the trees ? 

1 And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come thou, 
and reign over us. 

1 1 But the fig-tree said unto them, k Should I for- 
sake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be 
promoted over the trees ? 

1 2 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, 
and reign over us. 

1 3 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave 
my wine, * which cheereth God and man, and go to 
be promoted over the trees ? 

14 Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come 
thou, and reign over us. 

1 5 And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth 
ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your 
trust in my m shadow ; and if not, let n fire come out 
of the bramble, and devour the ° cedars of Lebanon. 

1 6 Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sin- 
cerely in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if 
ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and 
have done unto him according to the deserving of Ins 
hands ; 

17 (For my father fought for you, and t adventured 
his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian ; 

1 8 And ye are risen up against my father's house 
this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten 
persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, 
the p son of his maid-servant, king over the men of 
Shechem, because he is your brother ;) 

19 If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with 
Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye 
in Abimelech, and let him also q rejoice in you ; 

20 But if not, r let fire come out from Abimelech, 
and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of 
Millo ; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, 
and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech. 

21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to 
8 Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his 
brother. 

22 IT When Abimelech had reigned three years 
over Israel, 

23 Then l God sent an u evil spirit between Abi- 
melech and the men of Shechem ; and the men of 
Shechem x dealt treacherously with Abimelech : 

24 That the y cruelty done to the threescore and 
ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be 
laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them ; 
and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in 
the killing of his brethren. 

25 And the men of Shechem set z liers in wait for 
him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all 
that came along that way by them : and it was told 
Abimelech. 

26 And Gaal, the son of Ebed, came with his 
orethren, and went over to Shechem : and the men 
of Shechem * put their confidence in him. 

27 And they went out into the fields, and gathered 
their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made b mer-

ry, and went into the c house of their god, and did eat 
and drink, and cursed Abimelech. 

28 And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, d Who is 
Abimelech, and who is e Shechem, that we should 
serve him 1 Is not he the f son of Jerubbaal ? and Ze- 
bul his officer ? Serve the men of Hamor, the father 
of Shechem ; for why should we serve him ? 

29 And g would to God this people were under my 
hand ! h then would I remove Abimelech. And he said 
to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out. 

30 And when Zebnl, the ruler of the city, heard the 
words of Gaal, the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled. 

31 And he sent messengers unto Abimelech T pri- 
vily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed, and his 
brethren, be come to Shechem ; and, behold, they 
fortify the city against thee. 

32 Now, therefore, up by night, thou and the peo- 
ple that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field : 

33 And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as 
the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the 
city : and, behold, whan he and the people that is with 
him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to 
them tas thou shalt find occasion. 

34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that 
were with him, by night, and they laid wait against 
Shechem in four t companies. 

35 And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and stood 
in the entering of the gate of the city : and Abimelech 
rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying 
in wait. 

36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Ze- 
bul, Behold, there come people down from the top of 
the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou 
1 seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men. 

37 And Gaal spake again, and said, See, there come 
people down by the t middle of the land, and another 
company come along by the plain of || Meonenim. 

38 Then said Zebul unto him, k Where is now thy 
mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, 
that we should serve him ? Is not this the people that 
thou hast despised ? go out, I pray now, and fight 
with them. 

39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, 
and fought with Abimelech. 

40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before 
him ; and many were overthrown and wounded, even 
unto the entering of the gate. 

41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah : and Zebul 
1 thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should 
not dwell in Shechem. 

42 And it came to pass on the morrow that the peo- 
ple went out into the field ; and they told Abimelech. 

43 And he took the people, and divided them into 
three companies, and laid wait in the field, and look- 
ed, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the 
city; and he rose up against them, and smote them. 

44 And Abimelech, and the t company that was 
with him, rushed forward, and .stood in the entering 
of the gate of the city : and the two other companies 
ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and 
slew them. 

45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that 
day : and he m took the city, and slew the people that 
was therein, and beat down the city, and " sowed it 
with salt. 

46 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem 
heard that, they entered into a hold of the house of 
the ° god Berith. 



X. Abimelech 

Al And it was told Abimelech that all the men of 
the tower of Shechem were gathered together. 

48 And Abimelech gat him up to mount p Zalmon, 
he and all the people that were with him ; and Abi- 
melech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough 
from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, 
and said unto the people that were with him, What ye 
have seen t me do, make haste, and do as I have done. 

49 And all the people likewise cut down every man 
his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to 
the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them ; so that 
all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about 
a thousand men and women. 

50 Then went Abimelech to q Thebez, and encamp- 
ed against Thebez, and took it. 

51 But there was a strong tower within the city, 
and thither fled all the men and women, and all they 
of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to 
the top of the tower. 

52 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought 
against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower 
to burn it with fire. 

53 And a certain r woman cast a piece of a 8 mill- 
stone upon Abimelech's head, and all to break his 
scull. 

54 Then he called hastily unto the young man his 
t armour-bearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, 
and slay me, that " men say not of me, A woman 
slew him. And his young man thrust him through, 
and he died. 

55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abime- 
lech was dead, they departed every man unto his place. 

56 x Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abime- 
lech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his 
seventy brethren. 

51 And all the evil of the y men of Shechem did 
God render upon their heads : and upon them came 
the l curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal. 
CHAP. X. 

Tola judgeth Israel in Shamir. 
ND after Abimelech there a arose, to defend 
Israel, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, 
a man of b Issachar ; and he dwelt in Shamir in 
mount Ephraim. 

2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, 
and died, and was buried in Shamir. 

3 And after him arose Jair c a Gileadite, and judged 
Israel twenty and two years. 

4 And he had thirty sons d that rode on thirty ass- 
colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called 
e Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of 
Gilead. 

5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon. 

6 IT And the children of Israel did evil f again in 
the sight of the Lord, and served g Baalim, and Ash- 
taroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of h Zidon, 
and the gods of 'Moab, and the gods of the children 
of Ammon, and the gods of the k Philistines, and for- 
sook the Lord, and served not him. 

7 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Is- 
rael, and he 'sold them into the hands of the Philis- 
tines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon. 

8 And || that year they vexed and oppressed the 
children of Israel ""eighfeen years, all the children 
of Israel that, were on the oilier side Jordan, in the 
land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead:

jamin, and against the house of Ephraim ;) so fhat 
Israel was sore distressed. 

1 And the children of Israel cried ° unto the Lord, 
saying, We have sinned against thee, both because 
we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim. 

11 And-the Lord p said unto the children of Israel, 
Did not / deliver you from the Egyptians, and from 
the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from 
the Philistines 1 

12 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and 
the Maonites, did oppress you ; and ye cried to me, 
and I delivered you out of their hand. 

1 3 Yet ye have q forsaken me, and served other 
gods : wherefore I will r deliver you no more. 

1 4 s Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen ; 
let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. 

15 And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, 
We have sinned, do thou unto us whatsoever ^eemeth 
good unto thee ; deliver us u only, we pray thee, this day. 

16 And they put away the x strange gods from 
among them, and served the Lord : and his soul was 
grieved for the y misery of Israel. 

17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered 
together, and encamped in Gilead : and the children 
of Israel z assembled themselves together, and en- 
camped in a Mizpeh. 

1 8 And the people and b princes of Gilead said one 
to another, c What man is he that will begin to fight 
against the children of Ammon 1 he shall be d head 
over all the inhabitants of Gilead. 

CHAP. XI. 

The covenant between Jephtkah and the Gileadites. 

NOW a Jephthah the b Gileadite was c a mighty 
man of valour, and he was the son of a harlot : 
and Gilead begat Jephthah. 

2 And Gilead's wife bare him sons : and his wife's 
sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said 
unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house ; 
for thou art the son of a t strange woman. 

3 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt 
in the land of d Tob : and there were gathered e vain 
men to Jephthah, and went out with him. 

4 And it came to pass t in process of time, that the 
children of Ammon made war against Israel. 

5 And it was so, that when the children of Ammon 
made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to 
fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob : 

6 And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our 
captain, that xve may fight with the children of 
Ammon. 

7 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did 
not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house ? 
and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in 
distress '? 

8 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah 
f Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou may 
est go with us, and fight against the children of Am 
mon, and be our s head over all the inhabitants of 
Gilead. 

9 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If 
ye bring me home again to fight against the children 
of Ammon, and the Lord deliver them before me, 
shall I be your head ? 

10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, 
The Lord t be witness between us, if we do not so 
according to thy words. 

1 1 Then Jephthah wont with the elders of Gilead 
and the people made him head and captain over them 



and Jephthah uttered all his words h before the Lord 
in Mizpeh. 

1 2 And Jephthah ■ sent messengers unto the king of 
the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do 
with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my 
land ? 

1 3 And the king of the children of Ammon answer- 
ed unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because k Israel 
took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, 
from ' Arnon even unto m Jabbok, and unto Jordan : 
now, therefore, restore those lands again peaceably. 

1 4 And Jephthah sent messengers n again unto the 
king of the children of Ammon, 

1 5 And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, ° Is- 
rael took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of 
the children of Ammon : 

16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and 
walked through the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and 
came to p Kadesh ; 

1 7 Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of 
Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy 
land : but the king of Edom i would not hearken 
thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king 
of Moab ; but he would not consent : and Israel abode 
in Kadesh. 

1 8 Then they went along through the wilderness, 
and compassed the land of Edom and the land of 
Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, 
and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but r came not 
within the border of Moab : for Arnon was the border 
of Moab. 

19 And Israel s sent messengers unto Sihon king of 
the Amorites, the king of Heshbon ; and Israel said 
unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land 
unto my place. 

20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his 
coast : but Sihon gathered all his people together, and 
pitched in * Jahaz, and fought against Israel. 

21 And the Lord God of Israel delivered Sihon 
and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they 
smote them : so Israel possessed all the land of the 
Amorites, the inhabitants of that countiy. 

22 And they possessed u all the coasts of the Amo- 
rites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the 
wilderness even unto Jordan. 

23 So now the Lord God of Israel hath dispos- 
sessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and 
shouldest thou possess it ? 

24 Wilt not thou possess that s which Chemosh thy 
god giveth thee to possess ? * So whomsoever the 
Lord our God shall drive out from before us, them 
will we possess. 

25 And now, art thou t any thing better than Ba- 
lak the son of Zippor, king of Moab ? did he ever 
t strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them, 

26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, 
and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that 
be along by the coasts of Arnon, || three hundred years ? 
why therefore did ye not recover them within that time ? 

27 Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but 
thou doest me wrong to war against me : the Lord 
z the Judge a be judge this day between the children 
of Israel and the children of Ammon. 

28 Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon 
b hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he 
sent him. 

29 Then the Spirit of the Lord || came upon Jeph- 
thah; and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and

passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of 
Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon. 

30 And Jephthah c vowed a vow unto the Lord, 
and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children 
of Ammon into mine hands, 

31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth 
of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return 
in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely || be 
the Lord's, and 1 will offer it up || for a burnt-offering. 

32 So Jephthah passed over unto the children of 
Ammon, to fight against them ; and the Lord de- 
livered them into his hands. 

33 And he smote them from d Aroer, even till thou 
come to e Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the 
plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. 
Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before 
the children of Israel. 

34 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, 
and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with 
f timbrels and with dances ; and she was his only child : 
besides her he had neither son nor daughter. 

35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he 
E rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter ! thou 
hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them 
that h trouble me : for I have ' opened my mouth unto 
the Lord, and k I cannot go back. 

36 And she said unto him, My father, if 'thou hast 
opened thy mouth unto the Lord, ' do to me accord- 
ing to that m which hath proceeded out of thy mouth ; 
forasmuch as the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee 
of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon. 

37 And she said unto her father, Let this thing be 
done for me : Let me alone two months, that I may 
go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail n my 
virginity, I and my fellows. 

38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away for 
two months ; and she went with her companions, and 
bewailed her virginity upon the mountains. 

39 And it came to pass, at the end of two months, 
that she returned unto her father, who ° did with her 
according to his vow which he had vowed : and she 
knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel, 

40 That the daughters of Israel went yearly || to 
lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four 
days in a year. 

CHAP. XII. 

The Ephraimites, quarrelling with Jephthah, and discerned 
by Shibboleth are slain by the Gileadites. 

ND the men of Ephraim t gathered themselves 
together, and went a northward, and said unto 
Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight, 
against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us 
to go with thee 1 b we will burn thine house upon thee 
with fire. 

2 And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people 
were at c great strife with the children of Ammon ; 
and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of 
their hands. 

3 And when I saw that ye delivered me not, d I put 
my life in my hands, and passed over against the chil- 
dren of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my 
hand : wherefore then are ye come up unto me this 
day to fight against me 1 

4 e Then Jephthah gathered together all the men 
of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim : and the men of 
Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, f Ye Gi- 
leadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraim- 
ites, and among the Manassites. 



5 And the Gileadites took g the passages of Jordan 
before the Ephraimites : and it was so, that when 
those Ephraimites which were escaped, said, Let me 
go over, that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art 
thou an Ephraimite ? If he said, Nay ; 

6 Then said they unto him, Say now |] Shibboleth ; 
and he said h Sibboleth : for he could not frame to 
pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew 
him at the passages of Jordan ; and there fell at that 
time of the Ephraimites ' forty and two thousand. 

7 IT And Jephthah judged Israel six years : then 
died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of 
the cities of Gilead. 

8 And after him Ibzan of k Beth-lehem judged Israel. 

9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, 
whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters 
from abroad for his sons: and he judged Israel seven 
years. 

1 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lehem. 

11 And after him Elon a Zebulonite judged Israel ; 
and he judged Israel ten years. 

12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried 
in Ajalon, in i the country of Zebulun. 

13 And after him Abdon, the son of Hillel m a 
Pirathonite, judged Israel. 

1 4 And he had forty sons, and thirty nephews, that 
rode on threescore and ten n ass-colts : and he judged 
Israel eight years. 

15 And Abdon, the son of Hillel the Pirathonite, 
died, and was buried in Pirathon, in the land of 
Ephraim, in the mount of the ° Amalekites. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 Israel is in the hand of the Philistines. 24 Samson is born. 
ND the children of Israel did evil again in the 
sight of the Lord ; and the Lord delivered them 
into the hand of the Philistines a forty years. 

2 And there was a certain man of b Zorah, of the 
family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah ; and 
his wife was c barren, and bare not. 

3 And the d angel of the Lord appeared unto the 
woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art bar- 
ren, and bearest not : but thou shalt e conceive, and 
bear a son. 

4 Now therefore beware, 1 pray thee, and f drink not 
wine nor strong drink, and eat not any E unclean thing: 

5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son ; and 
no h razor shall come on his head : for the child shall 
be ] a Nazarite unto God from the womb ; and he 
shall k begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the 
Philistines. 

6 Then the woman came, and told her husband, 
saying, ' A man of God came unto me, and his coun- 
tenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, 
very terrible ; but ni I asked him not whence he was, 
neither told he me his name. 

7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt con- 
ceive, and bear a son ; and now drink no wine nor 
strong drink, neither eat anv unclean thing : for the 
child shall be a Nazarite to'God from the womb to 
the day of his death. . 

8 Then Manoah entreated the Lord, and said, O 
my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send 
come again unto us, and " teach us what we shall do 
unto the child that shall be born. 

9 And God ° hearkened to the voice of Manoali ; 
and the angel of God came again unto the woman as 
she sat in the field : but Manoali her husband was 
not with her.

10 And the woman p made haste, and ran, and 
shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the 
man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the 
other da}^. 

1 1 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, 
and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou 
the man that spakest unto the woman ? And he said, 
I am. 

12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to 
pass : how shall we order the child ? and t how shall 
we do unto him ? 

13 And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, 
Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware. 

1 4 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the 
q vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor 
eat any unclean thing : T all that I commanded her 
let her observe. 

15 And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, 
I pray thee, let us detain thee until we shall have 
made ready a kid 3 for thee. 

16 And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, 
Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy l bread ; 
and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou must offer 
it u unto the Lord : for Manoah knew not that he was 
an angel of the Lord. 

17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, 
What is thy name, that, when thy sayings come to 
pass, we may x do thee honour ? 

18 And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Why 
askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is || secret ? 

19 So Manoah took a kid, with a meat-offering, 
and y offered it upon a rock unto the Lord : and the 
angel did z wondrously ; and Manoah and his wife 
looked on. 

20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up 
toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the 
Lord ascended in the flame of the altar: and Ma- 
noah and his wife looked on it, and a fell on their 
faces to the ground. 

21 (But the angel of the Lord did no more appear 
to Manoah and to his wife.) _ Then Manoah knew 
that he was an angel of the Lord. 

22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely 
b die, because we have seen God. 

23 But c his wife said unto him, If the Lord were 
pleased to kill us, " he would not have received a 
burnt-offering and a meat-offering at our hands ; nei- 
ther would he have '• shewed us all these things, nor 
would, as at this time, have told us such things as 
these. 

24 And the woman bare a son, and called his 
name Samson; and the child grew, and the Lord 
blessed him. 

25 And the Spirit of the Lord began f to move him 
at times in the b camp of Dan, between Zorah and 
h Eshtaol. 

CHAP. XIV. 

Samson desireth a wife of the Philistines. 
ND Samson went down to * Timnath, and b saw 
a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the 
Philistines. 

2 And he came up and told his father and his 
mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of 
the daughters of the Philistines ; now, therefore, c get 
her for me to wife. 

3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is 
there never a woman among the daughters of u thy 
brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to 



lake a wife of e the uncircumcised Philistines ? And 
Samson said unto his father, Get her for me ; for she 
pleaseth me well. 

4 But his father and his mother knew not that it 
was f of the Lord that he sought an occasion against 
the Philistines : for g at that time the Philistines had 
dominion over Israel. 

5 Then went Samson down, h and his father and 
his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of 
Timnath: and, behold, t a young lion roared against 
him. 

6 And the ' Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon 
him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and 
he had k nothing in his hand : but he told not his 
father or his mother what he had done. 

7 And he went down, and talked with the woman ; 
and she pleased Samson well. 

8 And after a time he returned to ' take her, and 
he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion ; and, 
behold, there was a swarm of bees and honev in the 
carcase of the lion. 

9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on 
eating, and came to his father and mother, and he 
gave them, and they did eat : but he told not them 
that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the 
lion. 

10 So his father went down unto the woman : and 
Samson made there a m feast ; for so used the young 
men to do. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when they saw n him, that 
they brought ° thirty companions to be with him. 

12 And Samson said unto them, I will now put 
forth t a riddle unto you : if you can certainly declare 
it me within the p seven days of the feast, and find it 
out, then I will give you tliirty j| sheets, and thirty 
change of garments : 

13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye 
give me thirty sheets, and thirty change of garments. 
And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we 
may hear it. 

1 4 And he said unto them, t Out of the eater came 
forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweet- 
ness. And they could not in three days expound the 
riddle. 

1 5 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that 
they said unto Samson's wife, q Entice thy husband, 
that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn 
thee and thy father's house with fire : have ye called 
us to take that we have ? is it not so ? 

1 6 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, 
Thou dost but r hate me, and lovest me not : thou 
hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, 
and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Be- 
hold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and 
shall I tell it thee ? 

1 7 And she wept before him the seven days, while 
their feast lasted : and it came to pass on the seventh 
day that he told her, because she lay sore upon him ; 
and she told the riddle to the children of her people. 

1 8 And the men of the city said unto him on the 
seventh day, before the sun went down, What is 
sweeter than honey ? and what is stronger than a 
lion ? And he said unto them, If ye had not 8 plowed 
with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle. 

19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and 
he went down to ' Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of 
them, and took their spoil, and gave change of gar- 
ments unto them which expounded the riddle : and

brands. 
UT it came to pass within a while after, in the 
time of wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his 
wife with a kid ; and he said, I will a go in to my wife 
into the b chamber : but her father would not suffer 
him to go in. 

2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou 
hadst utterly hated her ; therefore c 1 gave her to thy 
companion : is not her younger sister fairer than she ? 
take her, I pray thee, instead of her. 

3 And Samson said concerning them, t Now shall 
I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do 
them a displeasure. 

4 And Samson went and caught d three hundred 
foxes, and took firebrands, and turned e tail to tail, 
and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. 

5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let 
them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and 
burnt up both the shocks and also the standing corn, 
with the vineyards and olives. 

6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this ? 
And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the 
Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given 
her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, 
f and burnt her and her father with fire. 

7 And Samson said unto them, Though ye have 
done this, yet will I be E avenged of you, and after 
that I will cease. 

8 And he smote them h hip and thigh with a great 
slaughter ; and he went down and dwelt in the top of 
the rock ' Etam. 

9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in 
Judah, and spread themselves in )| Lehi 

10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come 
up against us ? And they answered, To k bind Sam 
son are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us 

1 1 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the 
top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest 
thou not that the Philistines are ' rulers over us 1 what 
is this that thou hast done unto us ? And he said unto 
them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them 

12 And they said unto him, We are come clown to 
bind thee, that we may m deliver thee into the hand of 
the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear 
unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves. 

1 3 And they spake unto him, saying, No ; but we 
will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand : 
but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound 
him with two new cords, and brought him up from 
the rock. 

14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines 
n shouted against him : and the Spirit of the Lord 
came mightily upon him ; and the cords that were 
upon his arms became as flax thai was burnt with 
fire, and his bands t loosed from off his hands. 

15 And he found a new jaw-bone of an ass, and 
put forth his hand and took it, and ° slew a thousand 
men therewith. 

16 And Samson said, With the jaw-bone of an ass, 
heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain 
a thousand men. 

17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end 




He is enticed by Delilah. 

of speaking, that he cast away the jaw-bone out of his 
hand, and called that place || Ramath-lehi. 

1 8 And he was sore athirst, and called on the Lord. 
and said, p Thou hast given this great deliverance 
into the hand of thy servant : and now shall I 4 die 
for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised ? 

19 But God clave a hollow place that was in the 
jaw, and there came water thereout ; and when he 
had drunk, r his spirit came again, and he revived : 
wherefore he called the name thereof || En-hakkore, 
which is in Lehi unto this day. 

20 And he s judged Israel, in the days of the 
Philistines, twenty years. 

CHAP. XVI. 

Samson escapeth, and carrieth away the gates of Gaza. 

THEN a went Samson to Gaza, s and saw there 
t a harlot, and went in unto her. 

2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is 
come hither. And they b compassed him in, and laid 
wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were 
quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is 
day, c we shall kill him. 

3 And Samso-n lay till midnight, and arose at mid- 
night, and took the doors of the d gate of the city, and

and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up 
to the top of a hill that is before Hebron. 

4 And it came to pass afterward, that he e loved a 
woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was 
|| Delilah. 

5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto 
her, and said unto her, r Entice him, and see wherein 
his g great strength lieth, and by what means we may 
prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict 
him ; and we will h give thee, every one of us, eleven 
hundred pieces of silver. 

6 And Delilah said to Samson, ' Tell me, I pray 
thee, wherein thy great, strength lieth, and wherewith 
thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. 

7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with 
k seven green withs that were never dried, then shall 
I be weak, and be l as another man. 

8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to 
her seven green withs which had not been dried, and & lis, 
she m bound him with them. 

9 (Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with 
her in the chamber.) And she said unto him, The 
Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the 
withs, as a thread of tow T is broken when it t toucheth 
the fire : so his n strength was not known. 

10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou 
hast ° mocked me, and told me lies : now tell me, I 
pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound. 

11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with 
new ropes that never were occupied, then shall 1 be 
weak, and be as another man. 

12 Delilah therefore took >' new ropes, and bound P I>r 6 ' 2fi 
him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be 

upon thee, Samson. (And there were liers in wait 
abiding in the chamber.) And he brake them from 
off his arms like a thread- 

13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou 
hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith 
thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If 

thou 'i weavest the seven locks of my head with the q*.».H

Sa7iisou''s death. 

awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin 
of the r beam, and with the web. 

15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, 
I love thee, when thine heart is not with me ? thou 
hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told 
me wherein thy great strength lieth. 

1 6 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily 
with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was 
t vexed unto death, 

1 7 That he s told her all his heart, and said unto 
her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head ; 
for I have been * a Nazarite unto God from my mother's 
womb : if I be shaven, u then my strength will go from 
me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other 
man. 

1 8 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all 
his heart, she sent and called feu- the lords of the Phi- 
listines, saying, Come up this once ; for he hath shewed 
me all liis heart. Then the lords of the Philistines 
came up unto her, and brought x money in their hand. 

19 And she made him y sleep upon her knees : and 
she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off 
the seven locks of his head ; and she began to afflict 
him, and his strength went from him. 

20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Sam- 
son. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I 
will go out, as at other times before, and shake my- 
s 'If. And he wist not that the Lord was 'departed 
from him. 

21 But the Philistines took him, and t put out his 
eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him 
with a fetters of brass ; and he did grind in the prison- 
house. 

22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow 
again after he was shaven. 

23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them 
together for to offer a great sacrifice unto b Dagon their 
god, and to rejoice : for they said, Our god hath de- 
livered Samson our enemy into our hand. 

24 And when the people saw him, they c praised 
their god ; for they said, Our god hath delivered into 
our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our coun- 
try, || which slew many of us. 

25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were 
merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may 
make us ll sport. And they called for Samson out of 
the prison-house •, and he made them sport : and they 
set him between the pillars. 

26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by 
the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars where- 
upon e the house standeth, that I may lean upon them. 

27 Now the house was full of men and women ; 
and all the lords of the Philistines were there : and 
there were upon the f roof about three thousand men 
and women, that beheld while Samson made sporl. 

23 And Samson s called unto the Lord, and said, 
O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strength- 
en me, 1 pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may 
be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two 
eyes. 

29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars 
upon which the house stood, ancl on which it was 
borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the 
other with his left. 

30 And Samson said, t Let me die with the Phi- 
listines. And he bowed himself with all his might ; 
and the house h fell upon the lords, and upon all the 
people that were therein : so the dead which he slew

which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears,

4 Yet he restored the money unto his mother ; and 

his mother took c two hundred shekels of silver, and c isa. 46, 6. 
gave them to the founder, who made thereof a giaven

4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth

5 And they said unto him, h Ask counsel, we pray 
thee, of God, that we may know whether our way 
which we go shall be prosperous. 

6 And ' the priest said unto them, Go in peace : 
k before the Lord is your way wherein ye go. 

7 Then the five men departed, and came to ' Laish, 
and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt 
careless after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and 
t secure ; and there was no magistrate in the land, 
that might m put them to shame in any thing : and 
they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business

8 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and 
Eshtaol : and their brethren said unto them, What 
say ye ? 

9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against 
them : for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is 
very good : and are ye t still ? be not slothful to go, 
and to enter to possess the land. 

10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people se- 
cure, and to t a large land : for God hath given it into 
your hands ; a place where there is no want of any 
thing that is in the earth. 

1 1 And there went from thence of the family of the 
Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hun- 
dred men appointed with weapons of war. 

12 And they went up, and pitched in n Kirjath- 
jearim, in Judah : wherefore they called that place, 
Mahaneh-clan, unto this day : behold, it is ° behind 
Kirjath-jearim. 

13 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim,

q l Sam. 14, 1 4 Then q answered the five men that went to spy 
i 9 kin"s l ou * me coun tty of Laish, and said unto their brethren, 
Do ye know that there is in r these houses an ephod,

1 5 And they turned thitherward, and came to the 
house of the young man the Levite, even unto the 
$m h of Sktd nouse °f Micah, and t saluted him. 
f w,; 16 And the six hundred men appointed with their 

Gcn. 37,14. weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, 
stood by the entering of the gate. 

1 7 And the five men that went to spy out the land 
went up, and came in thither, and took the 'graven 
image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the mol- 
ten image : and the priest stood in the entering of the 
gate witii the six hundred men that were appointed 
with weapons of war. 

13 And these went into Micah's house, and fetched 
the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and 
the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, 
What do ye ? 

19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, " lay

21 So they turned and departed, and put the little 
ones, and the cattle, and the carriage, before them. 

22 And when they were a good way from the house 
of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to 
Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook 
the children of Dan. 

23 And they cried unto the children of Dan : and 
they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What 
aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company '? 

24 And hesaid, Ye have taken away my gods 
which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away : 
and y what have I more I and what is this that ye say 
unto me, What aileth thee ? 

25 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not 
thy voice be heard among us, lest f angry fellows run 
upon thee, and thou t lose thy life, with the lives of 
thy household. 

26 And the children of Dan went their way : and 
when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, 
he turned, and went back unto his house. 

27 And they took the things which Micah had made, 
and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, 
unto a people that were at quiet and secure : and they 
smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the 
city with fire. 

28 And there was no deliverer, because it was z far 
from Zidon, and they had no business with any man ; 
and it was in the valley that lieth by a Beth-rehob. 
And they built a city, and dwelt therein. 

29 And they called the name of the city b Dan, 
after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto 
Israel : howbeit, the name of the city was Laish at 
the first. 

30 And the children of Dan t set up the graven 
image : and Jonathan the son of Gershom, the son of 
Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of 
Dan c until the day of the captivity of the land. 

31 And they set them up Micah's graven image, 
which he made, d all the time that the house of God 
was in Shiloh.

A Levite goeth to Beth-lehem to fetch home his wife 

AND it came to pass in those days, when there was 
a no king in Israel, that there was a certain Le- 
vite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who 
took to him t a concubine out of b Beth-lehem-judah. 

2 And his concubine played the whore c against him, 
and went away d from him unto her father's house to 
Beth-lehem-judah, and was there four whole months. 

3 And her husband arose, and went after hoi', to 
speak t friendly unto her, and to bring her again, hav- 
ing his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and 
she brought him into her father's house; and when the 
father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him. 

4 And his father-in-law, the damsel's lather, retain- 
ed him; and he abode with him three days: so they 
did L ' eat and drink, and lodged there. 

5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they 
arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart : 
and the damsel's father said unto ins son-in-law, 
t Comfort thine heart with f a morsel of bread, and af- 
terward go your way. 

6 And they sat down, and did eat and drink hot! 
of them together: for the damsel's father had said 
unto the man, !>e content, J pray thee, and tarry all

10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he 
rose up and departed, and came over against g Jebus, 
which is Jerusalem : and there were with him two asses 
saddled ; his concubine also was with him. 

1 1 And when they were by Jebus, the day was far 
spent ; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I 
pray thee, and let us turn in unto this city of the h Je- 
trusites, and lodge in it. 

12 And his master said unto him, We will not turn 
aside hither into the ' city of a stranger, that is not of 
the children of Israel ; we will pass over to Gibeah. 

13 And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us 
draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in 
k Gibeah, or in Ramah. 

1 4 And they passed on and went their way ; and 
the sun went down upon them when they were by 
Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin. 

1 5 And they turned aside thither, to go in and to 
lodge in Gibeah : and when he went in, he sat him 
down in a street of the city ; for there was no man that 
t took them into his house to lodging. 

16 And, behold, there came an old man from his 
1 work out of the field at even, which was also of mount 
Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah : hut the men 
of the place were t Benjamites. 

17 And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a way- 
faring man in the street of the city : and the old man 
said, Whither goes! thou ? and whence comest thou ? 

1 8 And he said unto him, We are passing from 
Beth-lehem-judah toward the side of mount Ephraim ; 
from thence am 1 : and I went to Beth-lehem-judah, 
but I am now going to the m house of the Lord ; and 
there is no man that t receiveth me to house. 

19 Yet there is both straw and provender for our 
asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and 
for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with 
thy servants : there is no want of any thing. 

20 And the old man said, " Peace be with thee : 
howsoever, t let all thy wants lie upon me ; only lodge 
not in the street. 

21 So he brought him into his house, and gave pro- 
vender unto the asses : and they ° washed their feet, 
and did eat and drink. 

22 Now, as they were making their hearts merry, 
behold, the men of the city, certain sons of p Belial, 
q beset the house round about, and beat at the door, 
and spake to the master of the house, the old man. 
saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine 
house, that we may r know him. 

2.1 And the man, the master of the house, went out 
unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, 
nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly ; seeing that this 
man is s come into mine house, do not this l folly. 

24 Behold, here is my daughter, a maiden, and his 
concubine ; them I will bring out now, and " humble 
ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto 
you i but unto this man do not so vile a thing. 



25 But the men would not hearken to him : so the 
man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto 
them; and they K knew her, and abused her all the 
night until the morning : and when the day began to 
spring, they let her go. 

26 Then came the woman, in the dawning of the 
da}', and t fell down at the door of the man's house 
where y her lord was, till it was light. 

27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened 
the doors of the house, and went out to go his way : 
and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen 
down at the door of the house, and her hands were 
upon the threshold. 

28 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going: 
but z none answered. Then the man took her up 
upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto 
his place. 

29 And when he was come into his house, he took 
a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided 
her, together || with her bones, into twelve pieces, and 
sent her into all the coasts of Israel. 

30 And it was so, that all that saw it said, There 
was no such deed done nor seen from the day that 
the children of Israel came up out of the land of 
Egypt unto this day: a consider of it, b take advice, 
and speak your minds. 

CHAP. XX. 

The war between the Benjamites and the Israelites. 

HEN a all the children of Israel went out, and 
the congregation was gathered together b as one 
man, from Dan c even to Beer-sheba, with the land of 
Gilead, unto the Lord in d Mizpeh. 

2 And the t chief of all the people, even of all the 
tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly 
of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen 
that e drew sword. 

3 (Now the f children of Benjamin heard that the 
children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then 
said the children of Israel, Tell tis, how was this 
wickedness? 

4 And t the Levite, the husband of the woman that 
was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah 
that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to 
lodge : 

5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and be- 
set the house round about upon me by night, and 
thought to have slain me ; and my concubine have 
they forced, that she is dead. 

6 And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, 
and sent her throughout all the country of the inherit- 
ance of Israel: for they have committed s lewdness 
and folly in Israel. 

7 Behold, h ye are all children of Israel ; give here 
your advice and counsel. 

8 And all the people arose as one man, saying, 
! We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we 
any of us turn into his house : 

9 But now, this shall be the thing which we will do 
to Gibeah, v)e will go up k by lot against it : 

10 And we will take ten men of a hundred through- 
out all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thou- 
sand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch 
victual for the people, that they may do, when they 
come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the 
folly that they have wrought in Israel. 

1 1 So all the men of Israel were gathered against 
the city, knit together as one man. 

1 2 And the tribes of Israel ' sent men through all

the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is 
this that is done among you ? 

13 Now therefore m deliver us the men, the chil- 
dren of n Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may 
put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. 
But the children of Benjamin would ° not hearken to 
the voice of their brethren the children of Israel : 

14 But the children of Benjamin gathered them- 
selves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go 
out to battle against the children of Israel. 

1 5 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at 
that time, out of the cities, p twenty and six thousand 
men that drew sword, besides the inhabitantsof Gibeah, 
which were numbered seven hundred chosen men. 

1 6 Among all this people there were seven hundred 
chosen men t left-handed ; every one could sling 
stones at a hair breadth, and not miss. 

17 And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were 
numbered four hundred thousand men that drew 
sword : all these were men of war. 

1 8 And the children of Israel arose, and went up 
to the q house of God, and r asked counsel of God, 
and said, Which of us shall go up s first to the battle 
against the children of Benjamin ? And the Lord 

Judah shall go up first

19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morn- 
ing, and encamped against Gibeah. 

20 And the men of Israel went out to battle against 
Benjamin ; and the men of Israel put themselves in 
array to fight against them at Gibeah. 

21 And the children of Benjamin came forth out 
of Gibeah, and ' destroyed down to the ground, of the 
Israelites that day, twenty and two thousand men. 

22 And the people, the men of Israel, g encouraged 
themselves, and set their battle again in array, in the 
place where they put themselves in array the first day. 

23 (And the children of Israel went up, and wept 
1 before, the Lord until even, and asked counsel of 
the Lord, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against 
the children of Benjamin my brother? And the Lord 
said, Go up against him.) 

24 And the children of Israel came near against 
the children of Benjamin the second day. 

25 And Benjamin went forth against them out of 
Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the 
ground, of the children of Israel again, eighteen 
thousand men ; all these drew the sword. 

26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the 
people, went up, and came unto the t house of God 
and wept, and || sat there before the Lord, and fasted 
that day until even, and offered burnt-offerings and 
peace-offerings before the Lord. 

27 And the children of Israel y inquired of the 
Lord, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there 
in those days ; 

28 And z Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aa- 
ron, 3 stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet 
again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin 
my brother, or shall I cease ? And the Lord said, Go 
up ; for to-morrow I will deliver them into thine hand. 

29 And Israol b set liers in wait round about Gibeah. 

30 And the children of Israel went up against the 
children of Benjamin on the third day, and put them- 
selves in array against Gibeah, as at other times. 

31 And the children of Benjamin went out against 
the people, and were drawn away from the city ; and 
they began to smite of the people t and kill, as at 
other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up 




c Joshua 18, 

24.

to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the 
c field, about thirty men of Israel. 

32 And the children of Benjamin said, They are 
smitten down before us, as at the first. But the chil- 
dren of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from 
the cit} r unto the highways. 

33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their 
place, and put themselves in array at Baal-tamar ; 
and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of then- 
places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah. 

34 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand 
chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore : 
but they d knew not that evil was near them. 

35 And the Lord smote Benjamin before Israel : 
and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites 
that day twenty and five thousand and a hundred men : 
all these e drew the sword. 

36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they 
were smitten : for the men of Israel gave place to the 
Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in 
wait which they had set beside Gibeah. 

37 And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon 
Gibeah ; and the liers in wait |] drew themselves along, ||Or,»io«&«

and smote all the city with the edge of the sword 

38 Now there was an appointed sign between the 
men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should 
make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city. 

39 And when the men of Israel f retired in the 
battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men 
of Israel about thirty persons ; for they said, t Surely 
they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle. 

40 But when the t flame began to arise up out of 
the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked 
behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city as- 
cended up" to heaven. 

41 And when the men of Israel turned again, the 
men of Benjamin were amazed : for they saw that 
evil was come upon them. 

42 Therefore they turned their backs before the 
men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness ; but 
the battle overtook them : and them which came out 
of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them. 

43 Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, 
and chased them, and trode them down with ease, 
over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising. 

44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand 
men : all these were men of valour. 

45 And they turned, and fled toward the wilderness 
unto the E rock of Rimmon : and they gleaned of them 
in the highways five thousand men ; and pursued hard 
after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand nun 
of them. 

46 So that all which fell that day of Benjamin 
were h twenty and five thousand men that drew the 
sword : all these were men of valour. 

47 ' But six hundred men turned, and fled to the 
wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the 
rock Rimmon four months. 

48 And the men of Israel turned again upon the 
children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge 
of the sword, t as well the men of every city as the 
beast, and all that came to hand : also they set on fire 
all the cities that they came to.

voices, and wept sore ; 

3 And said, O Lord God of Israel, d why is this 
come to pass in Israel, that there should be to-day one 
tribe lacking in Israel ? 

4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the 
e Joshua 22, people rose early, and built there an e altar, and offered 

burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. 

5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there 
among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with 
the congregation f unto the Lord 1 For they had made 
a great oath concerning him that came not up to the 

gGai. 4,18. Lord to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be s put to 
death. 

6 And the children of Israel repented them for 
Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe 
cut off from Israel tms day : 

7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, 
seeing we have sworn by the Lord, that we will not 
give them of our daughters to wives ? 

8 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of 
Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the Lord ? And 

hi Sam. n, behold, there came none to the camp from h Jabesh- 
l. 3. & 31, gii eac i t the assembly. 

9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, 
there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead 
there. 

10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thou- 
t Heb. sons sand t men of the valiantest, and commanded them, 

saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead 
with the edge of the sword, with the women and the 
children. 

1 1 And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall 
1 utterly destroy every male, and every woman that 
hath lain by man. 

12 And they found among the inhabitants of Ja- 
besh-gilead four hundred t young virgins, that had 
known no man by t lying with any male ; and they 
brought them unto the camp to k Shiloh, which is in 
the land of Canaan.

they gave them wives which they had saved alive of 
the women of Jabesh-gilead : and yet so they t sufficed 
them not. 

15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, 
because that the Lord had made a breach in the 
tribes of Israel. 

16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How 
shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the 
women are destroyed out of Benjamin ? 

17 And they said, There must be an inheritance for 
them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not 
destroyed out of Israel. 

18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our 
daughters : for the children of Israel have m sworn, 
saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin. 

1 9 Then they said, Behold, there is n a feast of the 
Lord in Shiloh t yearly, in a place which is on the 
north side of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway 
that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the d d a y s to

20 Therefore they commanded the children of Ben- 2 h s. H ' fi 3 ti

come out to ° dance in dances, then come ye out of oEx. 15,2a

them, || Be favourable unto them for our sakes ; be- 
cause we reserved not to each man his wife in the 
war : for ye did not give unto them at this time, that 
ye should be guilty. 

23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took 
them wives according to their number, of them that 
danced, whom they caught : and they went and re- 
turned unto their inheritance, and p repaired the cities, pch.20,43.

Elimelech driven by famine into Moab, dieth there. 

NOW it came to pass, in the days when the judges 
t ruled, that there was a a famine in the land. 
And a certain man of b Beth-lehem-judah went to 
sojourn in the country of Moab, c he, and his wife, 
and Iris two sons. 

2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the 
name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two 
sons Mahlon and Chilion, d Ephrathites of Beth- 
lehem-judah. And they came into the country of 
Moab, and continued there. 

3 And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, e died ; and 
she was left, and her f two sons. 

4 And g they took them wives of the women of 
Moab ; the name of the one was Orpah, and the 
name of the other h Ruth : and they dwelled there 
about s ten years. 

5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them ; 



and the woman was k left of her two sons and her 
husband. 

6 Then she arose, with her daughters-in-law, that 
she might return from the country of Moab : for she 
had heard in the country of Moab how that the Lord 
had ' visited m his people in giving them n bread. 

7 Wherefore ° she went forth out of the place where 
she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her : and 
p they went on the way to return unto the land of 
Judah. 

8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters-in-law, 
Go, return each to her 4 mother's house : r the Lord 
deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt s with the dead, 
and with me. 

9 The Lord grant you that ye may * find rest, 
each of you in the house of her husband. Then she 
u kissed them : and they lifted up their voice, and wept. 

10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return

1 1 And, Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters, 
y why will you go with me ? are there yet any more 
sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands ? 

12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way ; for I 
am z too old to have a husband. If I should say, I 
have hope, if I should have a husband also to-night, 
and should also bear sons ; 

13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown ? 
would ye stay for them from having husbands ? nay, 
my daughters ; for it grieveth me much, for your sakes, 
that the a hand of the Lord is gone out against me. 

1 4 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again : 
and Orpah b kissed her mother-in-law, c but Ruth 
clave unto her. 

1 5 And she said, Behold, d thy sister-in-law is gone 
back unto her people, and unto c her gods : f return 
thou after thy sister-in-law. 

16 And Ruth said, g Entreat me not to leave thee, 
or to return from following after thee : for whither thou 
goest, I will go ; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge : 
thy people shall be my people, and h thy God my God. 

1 7 Where thou diest will I die, and there will I be 
buried : the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught 
but death part thee and me. 

1 8 When she saw that she was steadfastly minded 
to go with her, then she ' left speaking unto her. 

1 9 So k they two went until they came to Beth- 
lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come 
to ' Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about 
them ; and they said, m Is this Naomi ? 

20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, 
call me Mara : for the Almighty n hath dealt very 
bitterly with me. 

21 1 went out full, and the Lord hath brought me 
home again "empty: why then call ye me Naomi, 
seeing the Lord hath p testified against me, and the 
Almighty hath afflicted me ? 

22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, 
her daughter-in-law, with her, which q returned out of 
the country of Moab : and they came to Beth-lehem 
in the beginning of r barley-harvest. 

CHAP. II. 

Ruth gle.ane.ih in the fields of Boaz. 
ND Naomi had a a kinsman of her husband's, a 
mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elime- 
lech ; and his name was Boaz. 

2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let 
me now go to the field, and b glean ears of corn after 
him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said 
unto her, Go, my daughter. 

3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the 
field after the reapers : and her hap was to light on a 
part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the 
kindred of Elimelech. 

4 And, c behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and 
said unto the reapers, d The Lord be with you. And 
they answered him, The Lord bless thee. 

5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was e set 
over the reapers, Whose damsel is this ? 

6 And the servant that was set over the reapers 
answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that 
r came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab : 

7 And she said, g T pray you, let me glean and 
gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she 
came, and hath b continued even from the morning 
until now, that she tarried a little in the house. 

8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hcarest thou not, 
my 5 daughter 7 Go not to glean in "another field,)

neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my Before 
1 maidens : " cir i 312 ; 

9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, ^^■^^ 
and go thou after them : have I not charged the 3'oung rjeiit.24,ia 
men that they shall ra not touch thee? and when thou m Job 29, 
art athirst, n go unto the vessels, and d 
which the young men have drawn. 

10 Then she ° fell on her face, and bowed herself ]^ at 10 42 
to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found 
grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest p take know- 
ledge of me, seeing I am a stranger ? 

1 1 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath 
fully been q shewed me all that thou hast r done unto q Ps. 37, e. 
thy mother-in-law since the death of thine husband ; 3 1 Prov ' 31 ' 
and how thou hast s left thy father and thy mother, sPs. 15,10. 
and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a 
people which thou knewest not heretofore. 

12 The Lord 'recompense thy work, and a full ti Tim. 4, 
reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under 8- 
whose u wings thou art come to trust. u Ps. 17, 8. 

1 3 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, 
my lord -, for that thou hast comforted me, and for 
that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, 
x though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens. 

14 And Boaz said unto her, y At meal-time come 
thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel 2?, 
in the vinegar. And she z sat beside the reapers : and zLukei,52, 
he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and 

was a sufficed, and b left. *» P«>v. u, 

15 And when she was risen up to c glean, Boaz rfbeut 
commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean 15. 
even among the sheaves, and reproach her not : 

1 6 And d let fall also some of the handfuls of pur- 
pose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, 
and rebuke her not. 

1 7 So she gleaned in the field e until even, and beat 
out that she had gleaned : and it was about an ephah 
of barley. 

1 8 And she took it up, and went into the city ; and 
her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned : and 
she brought forth, and gave to her that she had f re- 
served after she was sufficed. 

19 And her mother-in-law said unto her, Where 
hast thou gleaned to-day? and where wroughtest 
thou ? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. 
And she shewed her mother-in-law with whom she had 
wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I 
wrought to-day is Boaz. 

20 And Naomi said unto her daughter-in-law, 
s Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath h not left off his 
kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi 
said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of ? T 7 
our ' next kinsmen. 

21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me 
also, Thou k shalt keep fast, by my young men, until 
they have ended all my harvest. 

22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, 
It is ' good, my daughter, that thou go out with his i. 
maidens, that they m meet thee not in any other field. 

23 n So she kept fast by the maidens of Boa/, to 
glean unto the ° end of barley-harvest, and of wheat- 
harvest ; and dwelt with her molher-in-law.

whose e maidens thou wast ? behold, he winnowcth 
bailey to-night in the f threshing-floor. 

3 Wash thyself, therefore, and s anoint thee, and 
put thy " raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the 
floor : but make not thyself known unto the man, 
until he shall have done eating and drinking. 

4 And it shall be, when he ' lieth down, that k thou 
shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt 
go in, and uncover his ' feet, and lay thee down ; and 
he will tell thee what thou shalt do. 

5 And she said unto her, m All that thou sayest unto 
me I will do. 

6 And she went down unto the floor, and did 
according to all that her mother-in-law bade her. 

7 And when Boaz had n eaten and drunk, and his 
heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of 
the heap of corn : and she came softly, and uncovered 
his feet, and laid her down. 

8 And it came to pass, at midnight, that the man 
was afraid, and turned himself; and, behold, a woman 
lay at his feet. 

9 And he said, Who art thou 1 And she answered, 
I am Ruth thine ° handmaid ; spread therefore thy 
|| skirt over thine handmaid ; for thou art a near 
p kinsman. 

10 And he said, q Blessed be thou of the Lord, my 
q 1 Cor'. 13* daughter ; for thou hast shewed more kindness in the 
r cha i 8 ' l atter en ^ tnan at tne beginning, inasmuch as thou 

i^ra.' 5) followedst not s young men, whether poor or rich. 

1 1 And now, my daughter, fear not ; I will do thee 
all that thou requirest : for all the city of my people 
doth know that thou art a l virtuous woman. 

12 And now, it is true that I am thy near kinsman : 
howbeit, there is a kinsman u nearer than 1. 

13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the x morn- 
ing, that if he will perform unto thee the y part of a 
kinsman, well ; let him do the kinsman's part : but if 
he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, z then 
will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the Lord 
liveth : lie down until the morning. 

14 And she lay at his feet until the morning; and 
she rose up before one could know another. And he 
said, Let it a not be known that a woman came into 
the floor. 

1 5 Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon 
1 Pet. 2' 12! thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured 
b Gal. 6', 10. b six measures of barley, and laid it on her : and she 

l John 3, 2. went mto the Clty< 

16 And when she came to her mother-in-law, she 
said, Who art thou, my daughter ? And she told her 
all that the man had done to her. 

1 7 And she said, These six measures of barley gave 
he me ; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy 
mother-in-law. 

1 8 Then said she, c Sit still, my daughter, until 
thou know how the matter will fall : for the man will 
not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is 
come again out of the country of Moab, e selleth a 
parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's : 

4 And 1 1 thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it 
before the inhabitants, and r before the elders of my 
people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it ; but if thou 
wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know : 
for there is none to redeem it besides thee ; and I am 
after thee. And he said, I 'will s redeem it, 

5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field 
of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of h Ruth 
the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the 
name of the dead upon his inheritance. 

6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem z>»for 
myself, ' lest 1 mar mine own inheritance : redeem 
thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. 

7 Now this was the k manner in former time in Israel, 
concerning redeeming, and concerning changing, for 
to confirm all things ; A man plucked off his shoe, and 
gave it to his neighbour : and this was a testimony in 
Israel. 

8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it 
for thee : So he ' drew off his shoe. 

9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the 
people, Ye are m witnesses this day that I have bought 
all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's 
and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. 

10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of 
Mahlon, have I t purchased to be my wife, to raise 
up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that 
the name of the dead n be not cut off from among his 
brethren, and from the gate of his place : ye are wit- 
nesses this day. 

1 1 And all the people that icere in the gate, and the 
elders, said, We are witnesses. ° The Lord make 
the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel 
and like Leah, which two did build the house of Is- 
rael : and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous 
in Beth-lehem : 

1 2 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, 
(whom p Tamar bare unto Judah,) of the seed which 
the Lord shall give thee of this young woman. 

1 3 So Boaz q took Ruth, and she was his wife : 
and, when he went in unto her, r the Lord gave her 
conception, and she bare a son. 

1 4 And the s women said unto Naomi, Blessed be 
the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a 
kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. 

15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, 
and t a nourisher of thine old age : for thy daughter- 
in-law which loveth thee, which is better to thee than 
* seven sons, hath borne him. 

16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her 
u bosom, and became nurse unto it. 

1 7 And the women her x neighbours gave it a name, 
saying, There is a son born to Naomi ; and they called 
his name || Obed : he is the father of Jesse, the father 
of David. 

1 8 II Now these are the generations of y Pharez : 
Pharez begat Hezron, 

10 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Am- 
minadab, 

20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon 
begat Salmon, 

21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, 

22 And Obed begat z Jesse, and Jesse begat a David.

CHAP. i. 

Hannah, having borne Samuel, presenleth him to the LORD. 
'OW there was a certain man of a Ramathaim- 
zophini, of mount Ephraim, and his name teas 
Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the 
son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an b Ephrathite : 

2 And he had c two wives ; the name of the one 
was Hannah, and the name of the other d Peninnah : 
and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had e no 
children. 

3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to 
worship, and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in 
f Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Pbine- 
has, the priests of the Lord, were there. 

4 And when the time was that Elkanah g offered, 
he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and 
her daughters, h portions : 

5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion : for 
he ' loved Hannah ; but the Lord had k shut up her 
womb. 

6 And her l adversary also provoked her sore, for 
to make her m fret, because the Lord had shut up her 
woinb. 

7 And as he n did so year by year, when she went 
up to the house of the Lord, so she provoked her ; 
therefore she wept, and did not eat. 

8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, 

why weepest thou ? and why eatest thou not ? and 
why is thy heart grieved ? am not I better to thee than 
ten sons ? 

9 So Hannah rose up, after they had eaten in Shiloh, 
and after they had drunk : (now Eli the priest sat upon 
a seat by a post of the p temple of the Lord :) 

10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed 
unto the Lord, and wept sore. 

1 1 And she q vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of 
hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine 
handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine 
handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man 
child, then I will r give him unto the Lord s all the 
days of his life, and there shall no l razor come upon 
his head. 

12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying 
before the Lord, that Eli u marked her mouth. 

1 3 Now Hannah, she x spake in her heart ; only 
her lips moved, but her voice was not heard : there- 
fore Eli y thought she had been drunken. 

14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be 
drunken ? put away thy wine from thee. 

1 5 And Hannah answered and said, No, * my lord ; 

1 am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk 
neither wine nor strong drink, but have a poured out 
my soul before the Lord. 

16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of 
b Belial : for out of the abundance of my complaint 
and grief have I spoken hitherto. 

17 Then Eli answered and said, Go c in peace : and 
the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast 
asked of him. 

IS And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in 
thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, 
and her countenance was d no more sad. 

19 And they rose up in the morning early, and 
' worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came 
2 A 



to their house to Ramah : and Elkanah f knew Han- 
nah his wife ; and the Lord remembered her. 

20 Wherefore it came to pass, t when the time was 
come about after Hannah had conceived, that she 
bare a son, and called his name || Samuel, saying, Be- 
cause 1 have asked him of the Lord. 

21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went 
up to offer unto the Lord the yearly sacrifice, and his 
vow. 

22 But Hannah E went not up : for she said unto 
her husband, 1 will not go up until "he child be h wean- 
ed, and then I will bring him, that he may appear 
before the Lord, and there abide i for ever. 

23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do 
what seemeth thee good ; tarry until thou have weaned 
him ; only the Lord k establish his word. So the 
woman abode, and l gave her son suck until she wean- 
ed him. 

24 And when she had weaned him, she m took him 
up with her, with three bullocks, and one " ephah of 
flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the 
house of the Lord in Shiloh : and the ° child wasyoung. 

25 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child 
to Eli. 

26 And she said, Oh, my lord ! as thy soul liveth, 
my lord, 1 am the woman that stood by thee here, 
p praying unto the Lord.

ND Hannah a prayed, and said, My b heart re-

2 There is f none holy as the Lord : for there is

God. 

3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly ; let not ar-

God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 

4 The h bows of the mighty men are broken, and 
they that ' stumbled are girded with strength. 

5 They that were k full have hired out themselves 
for bread ; and they that, were hungry ceased : so that 
the barren hath ' borne seven ; and she that hath many 
children is waxed feeble. 

6 The Lord m killeth, and maketh alive : he bringeth 
down to the n grave, and bringeth up. 

7 The Lord maketh ° poor, and maketh rich : he 
bringeth low, and bfteth up.

vant came, while the flesh was in seething 
fiesh-hook of three teeth in his hand ; 

1 4 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or cal- 
dron, or pot ; c all that the flesh-hook brought up d the 
priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all 
the Israelites that ~ame thither. 

1 5 Also before they burnt the e fat, the priest's ser- 
vant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give 
flesh to roast for the priest 5 for he will not have sod- 
den flesh of thee, but raw. 

1 6 And if any man said unto him, Let them not 
fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much 
as thy soul desireth ; then he would answer him, Nay; 
but thou shalt give it me now : and if not, I will take 
it by force. 

1 7 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very 
f Gen. 10, 8. great f before the Lord ; for men g abhorred the offer- 
g Mai. 2, s. ing of the Lord. 

18 IT But Samuel ministered before the Lord, 
being a child, girded with a linen h ephod. 

19 Moreover, his mother made him a little coat, 
and brought it to him \ from year to year, when she 
came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacri- 
fice. 

20 And Eli k blessed Elkanah and his wife, and 
said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman, for the 
loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto 
their own home. 

21 And the Lord 'visited Hannah, so that she 
conceived, and bare m three sons and two daughters. 
And the child Samuel n grew before the Lord. 

22 IT Now Eli was veiy old, and heard all that his 
sons did unto all Israel ; and how they lay with the 
women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle 
of the congregation. 

23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? 
for I hear of your evil dealings ° by all this people. 

24 Nay, my sons : for it is p no good report that I 
hear ; ye make the Lord's people to transgress. 

25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall 
q^Num. 15, judge him : but if a man q sin against the Lord, who 

3) 14 shall r entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they heark- 
ened not unto the voice of their father, s because the 
Lord would slay them. 

26 (And the child Samuel l grew on, and was in 
favour both with the Lord, and also with men.) 

27 And there came a u man of God unto Eli, and 
13 » said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly 

appear unto the x house of thy father, when they were 
in Egypt in Pharaoh's house ?

I. SAMUEL. A prophecy against El? s 

fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my 
people ? 

30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel sailh, (1 1 
said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy lather, 
should walk before me for ever : but now the Lord 
saith, e Be it far from me ; for them that r honour me 
g I will honour, and they that despise me shall be 
lightly esteemed. 

31 Behold, the days come that I will cut off thine 
arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall 
not be an old man in thine house. 

32 And thou shalt see h an enemy in my habitation, 
in all the wealth which God shall give Israel : and 
there shall not be an old man in thine house for 
ever. 

33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not ' cut off 
from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and 
to grieve thine heart : and all the increase of thine 
house shall die in the flower of their age. 

34 And this shall be k a sign unto thee, that shall 
come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas : 
1 in one day they shall die both of them. 

35 And I will m raise me up "a faithful priest, that 
shall do according to that which is in my heart, and 
in my mind : and I will build him t a sure house ; and 
he shall walk before mine ° Anointed p for ever. 

36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that 
is left in thine house shall come and q crouch to him 
for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall 
say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priest's offi- 
ces, that I may eat a piece of bread. 

CHAP. III. 

How the word of the Lord was first revealed to Samuel. 
ND the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord 
a before Eli. And the word of the Lord was 
b precious in those days ; there was no t open vision. 

2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was 
laid clown in his place, and his eyes c began to wax 
dim, that he could d not see ; 

3 And ere the lamp of God e went out in the temple 
of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel 
was laid down to sleep ; 

4 That the Lord f called Samuel : and he answer- 
ed, Here am I. 

5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I ; for 
thou calledst me. And he said, I called not ; lie down 
again. And he went and lay down. 

6 And the Lord called yet again, Samuel. And 
Samuel arose, and went to Eli, and said, Here am 
1 ; for thou didst call me. And he answered, 1 called 
not, my son ; lie down again. 

7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither 
was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him. 

8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. 
And he arose, and went to Eli, and said, Here am I ; 
for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the 
Lord had called the child. 

9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down : 
and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, 
g Speak, Lord ; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel 
went and lay down in his place. 

10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called as 
at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel an- 
swered, Speak ; for thy servant heareth. 

11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, h I will 
do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every 
one that heareth it shall ' tingle. 

12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things

which k I have spoken concerning his house : when I 
begin, I will also make an end. 

13 For I have 'told him, that I will "judge his 
house for ever, for the iniquity which he knoweth ; 
because his sons t made themselves vile, and he re- 
strained them not. 

14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of 
Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall n not be 
purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever. 

15 IT And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened 
the doors of the house of the Lord : and Samuel 
feared to shew Eli the vision. 

16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my 
son. And he answered, Here am I. 

17 And he said, What is the thing that the LORD 
hath said unto thee ? I pray thee hide it not from me : 
p God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any 
thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee. 

1 8 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid no- 
thing from him. And he said, It is the Lord : q let 
him do what seemeth him good. 

1 9 IT And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with 
him, and did let r none of his words fall to the ground. 

20 And all Israel, from s Dan even to Beer-sheba, 
knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of 
the Lord. 

21 And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh : for. 
the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh l by 
the word of the Lord. 

CHAP. IV. 

Tlie Israelites are overcome by the Philistines at Eben-ezer. 

AND the a word of Samuel t came to all Israel. 
Now Israel went out against the Philistines to 
battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer ; and the Phi- 
listines pitched in b Aphek. 

2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against 
Israel: and when they t joined battle, c Israel was 
smitten before the Philistines ; and they slew of the 
army in the field about four thousand men. 

3 And when the people were come into the camp, 
the elders of Israel said, d Wherefore hath the Lord 
smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch 
the e ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh 
unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may f save 
us out of the hand of our enemies. 

4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might 
bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord 
of g hosts, which dwelleth h between the cherubims : 
and the ' two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were 
there with the ark of the covenant of God. 

5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord 
came into the camp, all Israel k shouted with a great 
shout, so that the earth rang again. 

6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the 
shout, they said, What meane.th the noise of this great 
shout in the camp of the Hebrews ? And they under- 
stood that the ark of the Lord was come into the 
camp. 

7 And the Philistines were afraid ; for they said, God 
is ccme into the camp. And they said, 'Wo unto 
us! for there hath not been such a thins heretofore. 

8 Wo unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand 
of these mighty Gods 1 these arc the Gods that smote 
the Egyptians with all the plagues ni in the wilderness. 

9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye 
Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, 
n as they have been to you : quit yourselves like men, 
and fight.

IV, V. Tlie death of Eli and his sons. 

10 And the Philistines fought ; and Israel was smit- 
ten, and they fled every man into his °tent : and there 
was a very great p slaughter ; for there fell of Israel 
thirty thousand footmen. 

1 1 And die q ark of God was taken ; and the two i Kings 12, 
sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were r slain. pp s . 7s, eo 

12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the i=aiahi'o,5. 
army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his 
clothes s rent, and with earth * upon his head. 

1 3 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by 
the way-side, watching : for his heart trembled for the 
ark of God. And when the man came into the city, 
and told it, all the city cried out. 

14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he 
said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult ? And the 
man came in hastily, and told Eli. 

15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and 
his eyes were dim, that he could not see. 

16 And the man said unto Eli, 1 am he that came 
out of the army, and I fled to-day out of the army. 
And he said, What is there done, my son ? 

1 7 And the messenger answered and said, Israel 
is fled before the Philistines ; and there hath been also 
a great slaughter among the people ; and thy two sons 
also, Hophni and Phinehas. are dead : and the ark of 
God is taken. 

18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of 
the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat back- 
ward, by the side of the u gate ; and his x neck brake, f^ ^j" 6 
and he died ; for he was an old man, and heavy : Ecci. '9, 1. 
and he had judged Israel forty years. ^^ 

19 And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was needs turn- 
with child, near to be delivered : and when she heard *"'■ &c - 
the tidings, that the ark of God was taken, and that 17, is. 
her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she John 16,20. 
bowed herself and travailed ; for t her pains came se{ , e l0 i j(£ 
upon her. 

20 And about the time of her death, the women 
that stood by her said unto her, Fear not, for thou hast 
borne y a son. But she answered not, t neither did 
she regard it. 

21 And she named the child |j I-chabod, saying, 
z The glory is departed from Israel : (because the ark 
of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law 
and her husband :)

of Ashdod ; and he h destroyed them, and smote them 
1 with emerods, even Ashdod, and the coasts thereof. 

7 And when the men of Ashdod k saw that it was 
so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not 
abide with us : for his hand is sore upon us, and ' upon 
Dagon our god. 

8 They sent, therefore, and gathered all the lords 
of the Philistines unto them, and said, m What shall 
we do with the ark of the God of Israel ? And they 
answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried 
about unto n Gath. And they carried the ark of the 
God of Israel about thither. 

9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it 
about, the hand of the Lord was against the city with 
a very great destruction : and he smote the men of 
the city, both small and great, and they had emerods 
in their secret parts. 

10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. 
And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to 
p Ekron, that the Ekronkes cried out, saying, They 
have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to 
us, to slay us and our people. 

1 1 So they sent and gathered together all the lords 
of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the 
God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, 
that it slay us not, and our people : for there was a 
deadly destruction throughout all the city ; the hand 
of God was very heavy there. 

1 2 And the men that q died not were smitten with 
the emerods : and the cry of the city went up to heaven. 

CHAP. VI. 

The Philistines take counsel how to send back the ark. 

AND the ark of the Lord was in the country of 
the Philistines seven a months. 

2 And the Philistines called for the b priests and the 
diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the 
Lord? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his 
place. 

3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the 
God of Israel, send it c not empty ; but in t any wise 
return him a trespass-offering : then ye shall be healed, 
and it shall be d known to you why his hand is not 
removed from you. 

4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass-offer- 
ing which we shall return to him ? e They answered, 
Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according 
to che number of the lords of the Philistines : for t one 
plague was on you all, and on your lords. 

5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, 
and images of your mice that f mar the land ; and ye 
shall g give glory unto the God of Israel ; peradven- 
ture he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off 
h your gods, and from off your land. 

6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the 
Egyptians and Pharaoh j hardened their hearts ? When 
he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they 
not let the people go, and they departed ? 

7 Now therefore make a k new cart, and take two 
milch kine on which there hath come no yoke, and tie 
the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from 
them : 

8 And take the ark of the Lord, and lay it upon 
the cart : and put the t jewels of gold, which ye re- 
turn him for a trespass-offering, in a coffer by the side 
thereof; and send it away, that it may go. 

9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own 
coast to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great 
evu : but if not, then we shall know that it is not his 



Tlie Beth-sheruil.es smitten. 
it was a chance that happened 



hand that smote us 
to us. 

10 And the men did so ; and took two milch kine, 
and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at 
home. 

1 1 And they laid the ark of the Lord upon the cart, 
and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of 
their emerods. 

12 And the kine took the straight way to the way 
of ' Beth-shemesh, t and went along the highway, 
lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right 
hand or to the left ; and the lords of the Philistines 
went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh. 

13 And they of Beth-shemesh were reaping their 
m wheat-harvest in the valley : and they lifted up their 
eyes, and n saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. 

1 4 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a 
Beth-shemite, and stood there, where there was a great 
stone : and they ° clave the wood of the cart, and of- 
fered the kine a burnt-offering unto the Lord. 

15 And the p Levites took down the ark of the 
Lord, and the coffer that teas with it, wherein the 
jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone : 
and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt-offer- 
ings, and sacrificed sacrifices, the same day unto the 
Lord. 

1 6 And when the five lords of the Philistines had 
seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day. 

17 And these are the golden emerods which tne 
Philistines returned for a trespass-offering unto the 
Lord ; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon 
one, for Gath one, for Ekron one : 

18 And the golden mice, according to the number 
of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five 
lords, both of fenced cities and of country villages, 
even unto t the great stone of Abel, whereon they set 
down the ark of the Lord ; which stone reinaineth unto 
this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite. 

1 9 And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, be- 
cause they had q looked into the ark of the Lord, even 
he smote of the people r fifty thousand and threescore 
and ten men. And the people lamented, because the 
Lord had smitten many of the people with a great 
slaughter. 

20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, s Who is 
able to stand before this holy Lord God ? and to whom 
shall he go up from us ? 

21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of 
1 Khjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought 
again the ark of the Lord ; come ye down, and fetch 
it up to you. 

CHAP. VII. 

They of Kirjath-jearim bring the ark into the house of Abina- 
dab, to keep it. 

AND the men of " Kirjath-jearim came, and fetch- 
ed up the ark of the Lord, and brought it into 
the house of b Abinadab, in the hill, and sanctified 
Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Lord. 

2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kir- 
jath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty 
years : and all the house of Israel c lamented after the 
Lord. 

3 1T And Samuel spake unto all the house of Is- 
rael, saying, If ye do d return unto the Lord with all 
your hearts, then put away the e strange gods and 
Aslitaroth from among you, and f prepare your hearts 
unto the Lord, and s serve him only ; and he will de- 
liver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

4 Then the children of Israel did put away '' Baa- 
lim and Ashtaroth, and served the Lord only. 

5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel ' to Mizpeh, 
and I will pray for you unto the Lord. 

6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and k drew 
water, and poured it out before the Lord, and ' fasted 
on that day, and said there, We have m sinned against 
the Lord. And Samuel "judged the children of Is- 
rael in Mizpeh. 

7 And when the Philistines "heard that the children 
of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords 
of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when 
the children of Israel heard it, they were p afraid of 
the Philistines. 

8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, t Cease 
not to cry unto the Lord our God for us, that he will 
save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 

9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it 
for q a burnt-offering wholly unto the Lord : and 
Samuel cried unto the Lord for Israel ; and the Lord 
r heard him. 

10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offer- 
ing, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel : 
but the Lord s thundered with a great thunder on that 
day upon the Pliilistines, and l discomfited them ; and 
they were smitten before Israel. 

1 1 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and 
pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they 
came under Beth-car. 

12 Then Samuel took a stune, and u set it between 
Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it x Eben- 
ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. 

13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came 
7 no more into the coast of Israel, and the hand of the 
Lord was against the Philistines all the days of 
Samuel. 

14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken 
from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even 
unto Gath ; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver 
out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was 
z peace between Israel and the Amorites. 

15 And Samuel "judged Israel b all the days of his 
life. 

16 And he went from year to year in circuit to 
° Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel 
in all those places. 

1 7 And his return was to d Ramah ; for there was 
his house : and there he judged Israel ; and there he 
e built an altar unto the Lord. 

CHAP. VIII. 

By occasion of the ill government of Samuel's sons, the 
Israelites ask a kins. 

_ . o 

AND it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that 
he a made his sons judges over Israel. 

2 Now the name of his first-born was b Joel, and 
the name of his second Abiah : they were judges in 
Beer-sheba. 

3 And his sons c walked not in his ways, but turned 
aside after d lucre, and e took bribes, and perverted 
judgment. 

4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves 
together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, 

5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art f old, and 
thy sons walk lot in thy ways : now 6 make us a king 
to judge us h like all the nations. 

6 But the thing ' displeased Samuel, when they 
said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel 
k prayed unto the Lord.

7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, ' Hearken unto 
the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee : 
for they have UJ not rejected thee, but they have re- 
jected " me, ihat I should " not reign over them. 

8 According to all the works which they have done, 
since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt 
even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, 14 
and served other gods ; so do they also unto thee. 

t> Now, therefore, hearken unto their voice : how- 
beit yet protest solemnly unto them, and "shew them 
p the manner of the king that shall reign over them. 

10 And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto 
the people that asked of him a king. 

1 1 And he said, This will be the manner of the 
king that shall reign over you ; He will take your 
sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, 
and to be his horsemen ; and some shall run before his 
chariots. 

12 And he will appoint him captains over thou- 
sands, and captains over fifties, and will set them to 
ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and. to make 
his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. 

1 3 And he will take your daughters to be confec- 
tionanes, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. 

14 And he will take your fields, and your vine- 
yards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and 
give them to q his servants. 

1 5 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of chap ' 3 
your vineyards, and give to his || officers, and to his II ° 
servants.

and there they were not 

land of the Benjamites, but they found them not. 

5 And when they were come to the land of h Zuph, 
Saul said to his servant that teas with him, Come, and 
let us return ; lest my father leave caring for the asses, 
and take thought for us. 

6 And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in 
this city ' a man of God, and he is k an honourable 
man ; all that he saith ' cometh surely to pass : now, 
let us go thither ; peradventure he can shew us our 
way that we should go. 

7 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we 
go, what shall we m bring the man 1 for the bread is 
spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring 
to the man cf God : what have we ? 

8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, 
Behold, 1 1 have here at hand the fourth part of a 
shekel of silver ; that will I give to the man of God, 
to tell us our way. 

9 (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to n in- 
quire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to 
the seer : for he that is now called a Prophet, was 
beforetime called ° a Seer.) 

10 Then said Saul to his servant, p Well said; 
come, let us go. So they went unto the city where 
the man of God was. 

1 1 And as they went up the hill to the city, they 
found young maidens going out to draw water, and 
said unto them, Is the seer here ? 

1 2 And they answered them, and said, He is ; be- 
hold, he is before you : make haste now, for he came 
to-day to the city ; for there is || a sacrifice of the 
people to-day q in the high place : 

13 As soon as ye be come into the city ye shall 
straightway find him, before he go up to the high place 
to eat : for the people will not eat until he come, be- 
cause he doth r bless the sacrifice ; and afterwards 
they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up ; 
for about this time ye shall find him 

1 4 And they went up into the city ; and when they 
were come into the city, behold. Samuel came out 
against them, for to go up to the high place. 

15 s Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear a 
day before Saul came, saying, 

16 To-morrow, about this time, I will send thee a 
man out of the land of Benjamin ; and thou shalt 
anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that 

t2Sam. 12, he may save my people t out of the hand of the Phi- 
listines : for I have looked upon my people, because 
their cry is come unto me. 
uch. 16, 8. 17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord "said 
12 - unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of: 

t Heb. keep this same shall t reign over my people. 

1 8 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and 
said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is. 

19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the 
seer : go up before me unto the high place ; for ye 
shall eat with me to-day ; and to-morrow I will let 
thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart. 

20 And as for thine asses that were lost three days 
ago, set not thy mind on them ; for they are found. 
And on whom is all x the desire of Israel ; is it not 
on thee, and on all thy father's house ? 

21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Ben- 
L J "o g ' 20, J arn ' te > '>f the y smallest of the tribes of Israel ? and 

my family the z least of all the families of the tribe of 
Benjamin ? wherefore then speakest thou so to me ?

brought them into the parlour, and made them a sit in 
the chiefest place among them that were bidden, 
which were about thirty persons. 

23 And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the h por- 
tion which 1 gave, thee, of which I said unto thee, Set 
it by thee. 

24 And the cook took up the c shoulder, and that 
which was upon it, and set it before Sard. And Samuel 33- 
said, Behold that which is left ! set it before thee, and 
eat ; for unto this time hath it been kept for thee, since 
I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat 
with Samuel that day. 

25 And when they were come down from the high 
place into the city, Samuel d communed with Saul 
upon the e top of the house. 

26 And they arose early : and it came to pass, about 
the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the 
top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee 
away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of 
them, he and Samuel, abroad. 

27 And as they were going down to the end of the 
city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on 
before us, (and he passed on.) but f stand thou still 
t a while, that I may t shew thee the word of God. 

CHAP. X. 

1 Samuel anointeth Saul: 2 He confirmelh him by prediction. 
HEN Samuel took a a vial of oil, and poured it 
upon his head, and b kissed him, and said, Is it 
not because the Lord hath c anointed thee to be 
captain over his d inheritance ? 

2 When thou art departed from me to-day, then 
thou shalt find two men by e Rachel's sepulchre, in the 
border of Benjamin, at Zelzah ; and they will say unto 
thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found : 
and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and 
sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son ? 

3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and 
thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall 
meet thee three men going up to God to Beth-el, one 
carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves 
of bread, and another carrying a bottle of f wine : 

4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two 
loaves of bread, which thou shalt receive of their hands. 

5 After that thou shalt come to the s hill of God, 
where is the garrison of the Philistines : and it shall 
come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, 
that thou shalt meet a t company of prophets coming 
down from the high place, with a psaltery, and a ta- 
bret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them ; and they 
shall h prophesy : 

6 And the Spirit of the Lord t will come upon thee, i' 
and thou shalt j prophesy with them, and shalt be 2 () Thess 5 ' 
k turned into another man. 

7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto 
thee, that thou do ' as occasion serve thee ; for God is 
m with thee. 

8 And thou shalt go down before me to n Gilgal ; 
and, behold, I will come down unto thee, ° to offer 
burnt-offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace- 
offerings : p seven days shalt thou tarry, tdl I come to 
thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do. 

9 And it was 50, that when he had turned his back 
to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart : and 
all those signs came to pass that day. 

10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold,

Saul cnosen by lot at Mizpeh : 

beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among 
the prophets, then the people said one to another, 
What is this that is come unto the son of Kish ? s Is 
Saul also among the prophets ? 

12 And one of the same place answered, and said, 
But who is l their father ? Therefore it became a pro- 
verb, Is Saul also among the prophets ? 

13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, 
he came to the high place. 

14 And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his ser- 
vant, Whither went ye ? And he said, To seek the 
asses : and when we saw that they were no where, we 
came to Samuel. 

15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, 
what Samuel said unto you. 

16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly 
that the asses were found. But of the matter of the 
kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told u him not. 

17 IT And Samuel called the people together x unto 
the Lord to y Mizpeh ; 

18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith 
the Lord God of Israel, z I brought up Israel out of 
Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyp 
tians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of 
them that oppressed you : 

19 And ye have this day a rejected your God, who 
himself saved you out of all your adversities and your 
tribulations ; and ye have b said unto him, Nay, but 
set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves 
before the Lord by your e tribes, and by your d thou- 
sands. 

20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of 
Israel e to come near, the tribe of Benjamin f was taken. 

21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to 
come near by their families, the family of Matri was 
taken, and Saul, the son of Kish, was taken : and 
when they sought him, he could g not be found. 

22 Therefore they h inquired of the Lord further, 
if the man should yet come thither. And the Lord 
answered, Behold, he hath ' hid himself among the 
stuff. 

23 And they ran and fetched him thence : and 
when he stood among the people, he was k higher than 
any of the people, from his shoulders and upward. 

24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him 
1 whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like 
him among all the people ? And all the people shouted, 
and said, God save the king! 

25 Then Samuel told the people the m manner of 
the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up 
before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people 
away, every man to his house. 

26 And SrtLil also went home to n Gibeah ; and there 
went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had 
touched. 

27 But the children of ° Belial said, How shall this 
man save us? And they despised him, and brought 
him p no presents : but he q held his peace.

7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and ' hewed them h Ex. 32, 19.

8 And when he numbered them in ' Bezek, the Uudg. 1, 5. 
children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and 

the men of Judah thirty thousand. 

9 And they said unto the messengers that came. 
Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, To- 
morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have 
help. And the messengers came and shewed it to 
the men of Jabesh ; and they were glad. 

10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To-morrow 

m we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us m verse 2. 
all that seemeth good unto you. 

1 1 And it was so on the n morrow, that Saul put 
the people in three t companies ; and they came into 
the midst of the host in the ° morning watch, and slew 
the Ammonites until the heat of the day : and it came 
to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so 
that. v two of them were not left together. 

12 And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he 
that said, Shall Saul '' reign over us ? bring the men, Jame»2, l i3 
that we may put them to death. Luke] 9 I- 

13 And Saul said, There shall r not a man be put P 2Sam.'i9

salvation in Israel. 

14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and 

let us go to s Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. sHos.4, 15, 

15 And all the people went to Gilgal ; and there

your fathers up out of the land of Egypt 

7 Now therefore stand still, that 1 may "' reason j 
with you before the Lord of all the righteous acts of j 
the Lord, which be did to you and to your fathers. 

8 When n Jacob was come into Egypt, and your 
fathers ° cried unto the Lord, then the Lord sent 
v Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers 
out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place. 

9 And when they q forgat the Lord their God, r he 
sold them into the hand of s Sisera, captain of the host 
of Hazor, and into the hand of the l Philistines, and 
into the hand of the king of u Moab ; and they fought 
against them. 

10 And they cried unto the Lord, and said, We 
have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and 
have served x Baalim and Ashtaroth : but now deliver 
us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve 
thee. 

1 1 And the Lord sent y Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and 
Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the 
hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled 
safe. 

12 And when ye saw that Nahash, the king of the 
children of Amnion, came against you, ye said unto 
me, Nay ; but z a king shall reign over us ; when the 
Lord your God a was your king. 

13 Now therefore behold the king whom b ye have 
chosen, and whom ye have desired ! and, behold, 
c the Lord hath set a king over you. 

14 If ye will (1 fear the Lord, and serve him, and 
obey his voice, and not rebel against the command- 
ment of the Lord, then shall both ye, and aiso the 
king that reigncth over you, continue following the 
Lord your God : 

1 5 But if ye will e not obey the voice of the Lord, 
but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then 
shall the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was 
against your fathers. 

1 6 Now therefore stand and see f this great thing, 
which the Lord will do before your eyes. 

17 Is it not g wheat-harvest to-day? I will h call 
unto the Lord, and h>2 shall send thunder and rain ; 
that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is 
' great, which ye have done in the sight of the Lord, 
in asking you a king. 

1 8 So Samuel called unto the Lord ; and the Lor*d 
k sent thunder and rain that day : and all the people 
greatly ' feared the Lord and Samuel. 

1 9 And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for 
thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not : 
for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask 
us a king. 

20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not : 
('ye have done all this wickedness ; m yet turn not 
aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord 
" with all your heart ; 

21 And turn ye not aside : for then should ye go after 
vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver ; for 
they are vain :) 

22 For the Lord will not forsake his people p for 
his great name's sake; because it hath q pleased the 
Lord to make you his people.

25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall

CHAP. XIII. 

1 SauPs selected band : 3 He calleth the Hebrews to Gi 
against the Philistines. 

SAUL t reigned one year ; and when he had reign- 
ed H two years over Israel, 

2 Saul chose him '' three thousand men of Israel ; 
' whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash 

and in mount Beth-el, and a thousand were with 
Jonathan in c Gibeaii of Benjamin : and the rest of the 
people he sent every man to his tent. 

3 And Jonathan smote ll the garrison of the Philis- 
tines that was in e Geba ; and the Philistines heard of 
it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the 
land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear. 

4 And all Israel heard say, f that Saul had smitten 
a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was 
had in abomination with the Philistines. And the 
people were called together after Saul to Gilgal. 

5 And the Philistines gathered themselves together 
to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six 
thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is 
on the g sea-shore in multitude : and they came up and 
pitched in Michmash, eastward from h Beth-aven. 

6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a 
' strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the peo- 
ple did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and 
in rocks, and in high places, and in pits. 

7 And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to 
the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was 
yet in Gilgal ; and all the people t followed him 
trembling. 

8 And he tarried k seven clays, according to the set 
time that Samuel had appointed : but Samuel came 
not to Gilgal ; and the people were scattered from him. 

9 And Saul l said, Bring hither a burnt-offering to 
me, and peace-offerings. And he m offered the burnt- 
offering. 

10 And it came to pass, that, n as soon as he had 
made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, 
Samuel came ; and Saul weirt out to meet him, that c T h - 14 > \ 8 -

1 1 And Samuel said, What hast thou clone ? And ?«**■ 20. 
Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scat- 
tered from me, and that thou earnest not "within the o 2 Kings s, 
days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered 
themselves together at Michmash ; 

12 Therefore, p said I, the Philistines will come pi Kings 
down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made 12, 26 - 
supplication unto the Lord : q I forced myself there- q James 1, 
fore, and offered a burnt-offering. * " 

13 And Samuel said to Saul, r Thou hast done r2Sam«, 
s foolishly : thou hast not kept the commandment- of J'Kingsi, 
the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee; for is. 
now would the Lord have 
upon Israel for ever. 

14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the 
Lord hath * sought him a man after his own heart, 
and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over 
his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Ps. 4,3. &

15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal 
unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the 
people that were present with him, u about six hundred 
men. 

16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people 
that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Ben- 
jamin : but the Philistines encamped in Michmash. 

17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the 
Philistines in three companies : one company turned 
unto the way that leadeth to x Ophrah, unto the land 
of y Shual : 

18 And another company turned the way to z Beth- 
horon ; and another company turned to the way of the 
border that looketh to the a valley of Zeboim, toward 
the wilderness. 

1 9 Now there was b no smith found throughout all 
the land of Israel ; (for the Philistines said, c Lest the 
Hebrews make them swords or spears ;) 

20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philis- 
tines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, 
and his axe, and his mattock. 

21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the 
coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to 
sharpen the goads. 

22 So it came to pass, in the day of battle, that 
there was neither d sword nor spear found in the hand 
of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan : 
but with Saul, and with Jonathan his son, was there 
found. 

23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to 
the passage of Michmash. 

CHAP. XIV. 

Jonathan goelh and miraculously smileth the Philistines' 
garrison. 

NOW it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan 
the son of Saul said unto the young man that 
bare his armour, a Come, and let us go over to the 
Philistines' garrison that is on the other side. But he 
b told not his father. 

2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah, 
under a pomegranate-tree, which is in c Migron : and 
the people that ivere with him were about six hundred 
men ; 

3 And d Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, c I-chabocl's 
brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the Lord's 
priest in Sliiloh, f wearing an ephod. And the people 
knew not that Jonathan was gone. 

4 And between the passages, by which Jonathan 
sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there 
was a t sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock 
on the other side : and the name of the one was Bozez, 
and the name of the other Seneh. 

5 The fore-front of the one vias situate northward 
over against Michmash, and the other southward 
over against Gibeah. 

6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare 
his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garri- 
son of these g uncircumcised : h it may be that the 
Lord will work for us : for there is no restraint to the 
Lord to save by many ' or by few. 

7 And his armour-bearer said unto him, Do all that 
is in thine heart : turn thee ; behold, I am with thee 
according to thy heart. 

8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over un- 
to these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them. 

9 k If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come 
to you ; then we will stand still in our place, and will 
not go up unto them.

10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then 
we will go up : for the Lord hath delivered them into

] 1 And both of them discovered themselves unto 
the garrison of the Philistines : and the Philistines said, 
Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes 
where they had hid themselves. 

12 And the men of the "' garrison answered Jona- m Jobs, i 
than and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, 
and we " will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said 
unto his armour-bearer, Come up after me ; for the 
Lord hath delivered them into the hand of Israel. 

1 3 And Jonathan ° climbed up upon his hands and

ers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked : so it ] 7 ob 18 j, 
was t a very great trembling. Ps. 48,' 5. 

16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Ben- JJIwlw 

ill iiiiii i'i trembling 

jamin looked ; and, behold, the multitude melted 
away, and they went on beating down one another. 

17 Then said Saul unto the people that were with 
him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And 
when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his 
armour-bearer were not there. 

18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, 'Bring hither the 
ark of God : (for the ark of God was at that Lime with 
the children of Israel.) 

19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the 
priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Phi- 
listines went on and increased ; and Saul said unto 
the priest, s Withdraw thine hand. 

20 And Saul and all the people that were with him 
assembled themselves, and they came to the battle : 
and, behold, l every man's sword was against his fel 
low, and there was a very great discomfiture. 

21 Moreover, the Hebrews that were with the Plvi 
listines before that time, which went up with them 
into the camp from the country round about, even they 
also turned to be with the Israelites that were with 
Saul and Jonathan. 

22 Likewise all the men of Israel which had "hid ucIl5 > G - 
themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that 

the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after 
them in the battle. 

23 So the Lord "saved Israel that day : and the sP«. 44,2.

28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy 
father t straitly charged the people with an oath, say- 
ing, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. 
And the people were faint. 

29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled 
the land : see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been 
enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey ; 

30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten 
freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they 
found ? t for had there not been now a much greater 
slaughter among the Philistines 1 

31 And they smote the Philistines that day from 
Michmash to Ajalon : and the people were very faint. 

32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took 
sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the 
ground : and the people e did eat them with the '' blood. 

33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the peo- 
ple sin against the Lord, in that they eat with the 
blood. And he said, Ye have g transgressed : h roll a 
great stone unto me this day. 

34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the 
people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man 
his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, 
and eat ; and sin not against the Lord in eating with 
the blood. And all the people brought every man his 
ox with him that night, and slew them there. 

35 And Saul ' built an altar unto the Lord : t the 
same was the first altar that he built unto the Lord. 

36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Phi- 
listines by night, and spoil them until the morning 
light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they 
said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then 
said the priest, Let us k draw near hither unto God. 

37 And Saul ' asked counsel of God, Shall I go 
down after the Philistines ? wilt thou deliver them into 
the hand of Israel ? But he m answered him not that 
day. 

38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither all the t chief 
of the people ; and know and see n wherein this sin 
hath been this day : 

39 For, as the Lord liveth, which saveth Israel, 
though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. 
But there was not a man among all the people that 
answered him. 

4,0 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, 
and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. 
And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good 
unto thee. 

41 Therefore Saul said unto the Lord God of Is- 
rael, t Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan 
were taken : but the people escaped. 

42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jona- 
than my son. And Jonathan was taken. 

43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou 
hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did 
but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was 
in mine hand, and, lo, I must die. 

44 And Saul answered, ° God do so, and more also : 
for thou shalt surely p die, Jonathan. 

45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan 
die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel ? 
God forbid : as the Lord liveth, there shall not q one 
hair of his head fall to the ground ; for he hath 
wrought r with God this day. So the people rescued 
Jonathan, that he died not. 

46 Then Saul went up from following the Philis- 
tines : and the Philistines went to their own place. 

47 IT So Saul " took the kingdom over Israel, and 



fought against all his enemies on every side, against 
Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and 
against Edom, and against the kings of * Zobah, and 
against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned 
himself, he u vexed them. 

48 And he gathered a host, and smote the x Ama- 
lekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them 
that spoiled them. 

49 IT Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and 
y Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the names of his two 
daughters were these ; the name of the first-born 
Merab, and the name of the younger Michal : 

50 And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the 
daughter of Ahimaaz : and the name of the captain of 
his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle: 

51 And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner, the 
father of Abner, -xis the son of z Abiel. 

52 And there was sore war against the Philistines 
all the days of Saul : and when Saul saw any strong 
man, or any t valiant man, he took him unto him. 

CHAP. XV. 

Samuel sendeth Saul to destroy Amalek. 

SAM UEL also said unto Saul, The Lord a sent 
me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over 
Israel : now therefore b hearken thou unto the voice 
of the words of the Lord. 

2 Thus saith the c Lord of hosts, d I remember that 
which Amalek did to Israel, how he e laid wait for 
him in the way when he came up from Egypt. 

3 Now go, and smite Amalek, and f utterly destroy 
all that they have, and spare them not ; but slay both 
man and woman, infant and suckling, g ox and sheep, 
camel and ass. 

4 And Saul gathered the people together, and 
numbered them in h Telaim, two hundred thousand 
footmen, and ' ten thousand men of Judah. 

5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid 
wait in the k valley. 

6 And Saul said unto the ' Kenites, m Go, depart, 
n get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I 
destroy you with them : for ye ° shewed kindness to 
all the children of Israel when they came up out of 
Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the 
Amalekites. 

7 And Saul p smote the Amalekites from q Havilah 
until thou comest to r Shur, that is over against Egypt. 

8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites 
alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the 
edge of the sword. 

9 But Saul and the people R spared Agag, and the 
1 best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings. 
and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not 
utterly destroy them : but every thing that was vile 
and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. 

10 If Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, 
saying, 

11 It. u repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be 
king: for he is x turned back from following me, and 
hath ? not performed my commandments. And it 
grieved Samuel ; and he * cried unto the Lord all 
night. 

12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in 
the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came 
to a Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is 
gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal. 

13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto 
him, Blessed be thou of the Lord : b I have performed 
the commandment of the Lord.

14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleat- 
ing of the sheep in mine ears, and tl>e lowing of the 
oxen which I hear ? 

1 5 And Saul said, They have brought them from 
the Amalekites : for the c people spared the best of the 
sheep and of the oxen, to d sacrifice unto the Lord 
thy God ; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. 

16 Then Samuel said unto Saul. Stay, and I will 
tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. 
And he said unto him, Say on. 

17 And Samuel said, When thou wast e little in 
thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the 
tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed thee king over 
Israel ? 

1 fl And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said, 
Go, and utterly destroy the f sinners the Amalekites, 
and fight against them until they be consumed. 

1 9 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of 
the Lord, but didst g fly upon the spoil, and didst evil 
in the sight of the Lord ? 

20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed 
the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way which 
the Lord sent me, and have brought h Agag the king 
of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 

21 But the 'people took of the. spoil, sheep and 
oxen, the chief of the things which should have been 
utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God 
in Gilgal. 

22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great k de- 
light in burnt-offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the 
voice of the Lord ? Behold, 1 to obey is better than 
sacrifice, and to hearken, than the fat of rams. 

23 For m rebellion is as " the sin of witchcraft, and 
stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because 
thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also 
rejected thee from being king. 

24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned : for 
I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, 
and thy words ; because ° I feared the people, and 
obeyed their voice. 

25 Now, therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and 
turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord. 

26 And Samuel said unto Saul, p I will not return 
with thee : for q thou hast rejected the word of the 
Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being 
king over Israel. 

27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he 
laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 

28 And Samuel said unto him, The Lord hath 
r rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and 
hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better 
than thou. 

29 And also the || Strength of Israel will not 9 lie, 
nor repent: for he is not l a man, that he should repent. 

30 Then he said, I have sinned ; yet " honour me 
now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and 
before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may 
worship the Lord thy God. 

31 So Samuel turned again after Saul : and Saul 
worshipped the Lord. 

32 Then said Samuel, Bring you hither to me Agag 
the king of the Amalekites : and Agag came unto him 
delicately. And Agag said, Surely the x bitterness of 
death is past. 

33 And Samuel said, y As thy sword hath made 
women childless, so shall thy mother be childless 
among women. And * Samuel hewed Agag in pieces 
before the Lord in Gilgal. 



34 IT Then Samuel went to Ramah ; and Saul 
went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul. 

35 And Samuel came no more a to see Saul until 
the day of his death : nevertheless Samuel mourned 
for Saul : and the Lord repented that he had made 
Saul king over Israel. 

CHAP. XVI. 

Samuel anointeth David. 
ND the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt 
thou a mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected 
him from reigning over Israel ? fill thine h horn with 
oil, and go ; I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehem- 
ite : for I have c provided me a king among his sons. 

2 And Samuel said, d How can I go ? if Saul hear 
it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take a heifer 
with thee, and say, I am come to e sacrifice to the 
Lord. 

3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew 
thee what thou shalt do : and thou shalt anoint unto 
me him whom I name unto thee. 

4 And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and 
came to Beth-lehem : and the elders of the town 
f trembled at his coming, and said, t Comest thou 
peaceably ? 

5 And he said, Peaceably : I am come to sacrifice 
unto the Lord ; s sanctify yourselves, and come with 
me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his 
sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 

6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that 
he looked on Eliab, and h said, Surely the ' Lord's 
anointed is before him. 

7 But the Lord k said unto Samuel, Look not on 
his '..countenance, or on the height of his stature •, be- 
cause I have m refused him : for the LORD seeth not 
as man seeth ; for man looketh on the " outward 
appearance, but the Lord looketh on the ° heart. 

3 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass 
before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord 
chosen this. 

9 Then Jesse made p Shammah to pass by. And 
he said. Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 

10 Again, Jesse made q seven of his sons to pass 
before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The 
Lord hath not chosen these. 

1 1 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy 
children ? And he said, There rcmaineth ye.t the 
youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And 
Samuel said unto Jesse, r Send and fetch him : for we 
will not sit down till he come hither. 

12 And he sent and brought him in. Now he was 
s ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance;, and 
goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, ' anoint 
him : for this is he. 

13 u Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anoint- 
ed him in the midst of his brethren : ant! the * Spiril 
of the Lord came upon David from thai day forward. 
So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 

14 If But the Spirit of the Lord ' departed from 
Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. 

15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now . 
an z evil spirit a from God troubled) thee. 

16 Let our lord now command thy servants, i 

are b before thee, to seek out a man who is a cunning 
player on a harp: and it shall come lojiass, when 
the evil spirit from God is upon (lice,

18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, 
Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite. 
that is cunning in playing, and d a mighty valiant 
man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and 
a comely person, and the Lord is e with him. 

1 9 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and 
said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. 

20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a 
bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his 
son unto Saul. 

21 And David came to Saul, and f stood before 
him : and he g loved him greatly ; and he became his 
armour-bearer. 

22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I 
pray thee, stand before me ; for he hath found favour 
in my sight. 

23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit h from 
God was upon Saul, that David took a harp, and 
played with his hand : so Saul was refreshed, and 
was well, and the evil spirit ' departed from him. 

CHAP. XVII. 
Goliath cometh forth to challenge a combat with the Israelites. 

"OW || the Philistines gathered together their ar- 
mies to battle, and were gathered together at 
a Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched 
between Shochoh and b Azekah, in c Ephes-dammim. 

2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered 
together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set 
the battle in array against the Philistines. 

3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the 
one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other 
side : and there was a valley between them. 

4 And there went out t a champion out of the camp 
of the Philistines, named J Goliath, of Gath, whose 
height was six cubits and a span. 

5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and 
he ivas armed with a coat of mail ; and the weight of 
the coat ivas five thousand shekels of brass. 

6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and 
a target of brass between his shoulders. 

7 And the staff of his spear ivas like a weaver's 
beam, and his spear's head weighed six hundred she- 
kels of iron : and one bearing a shield went before him. 

8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, 
and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your 
battle in array 1 Am not I a Philistine, and you ser- 
vants to Saul ? choose you a man for you, and let him 
come down to me. 

9 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, 
then will we be your servants : but if I prevail against 
him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and 
serve us. 

1 And the Philistine said, e I defy the armies of 
Israel this day: give me a man, that we may fight 
together. 

1 1 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of 
the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid. 

12 IF Now David was f the son of that Ephrathite 
of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name ivas Jesse ; and he 
had % eight sons : and the man went among men for 
an old man in the days of Saul. 

1 3 And the three h eldest sons of Jesse went and 
followed Saul to the battle : and the names of his 
three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the first 
born ; and next unto him, Abinadab ; and the third, 
Shammah. 

1 4 And David was i the youngest : and the three 
eldest followed Saul. 



15 But David || went and returned from Saul 
feed his father's sheep at Beth-lehem. 

16 And the Philistine drew near morning and even- 
ing, and presented himself forty days. 

1 7 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now 
for thy brethren an k ephah of this parched corn, and 
these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren : 

1 8 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of 
their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and 
take their pledge. 

19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, 
were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 

20 And David rose up early in the morning, and 
left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as 
Jesse had commanded him : and he came to the 
|| trench as the host was going forth to the ' fight, and 
shouted for the battle. 

21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle 
in array, army against army. 

22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the 
keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and 
came and t saluted his brethren. 

23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came 
up the champion (the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by 
name) out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake 
according to the same words : and David heard them. 

24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the 
man, t fled from him, and were sore afraid. 

25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this 
man that is come up ? surely to defy Israel is he come 
up : and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the 
king will enrich him with great riches, and will m give 
him his daughter, and make his father's house free in 
Israel. 

26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, 
saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth 
this Philistine, and taketh away the n reproach from 
Israel ? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that 
he should defy the armies of the ° living God? 

27 And the people answered him after this manner, 
saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth 
him. 

28 And Eliab, his eldest brother, heard when he 
spake unto the men ; and Eliab's p anger was kin- 
dled against David, and he said, Why earnest thou 
down hither ? and with whom hast thou left those few 
sheep in the wilderness ? I know thy q pride, and the 
naughtiness of thine heart ; for thou art come down 
that thou mightest see the battle. 

29 And David said, What have I now done ? r Is 
there not a cause ? 

30 And he turned from him toward another, and 
spake after the t same manner : and the people an- 
swered him again after the former manner. 

31 And when the words were heard which David 
spake, they rehearsed them before Saul ; and he sent 
for him. 

32 And David said to Saul, s Let no man's heart 
fail because of him : thy servant * will go and fight 
with this Philistine. 

33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to 
go against this Philistine to fight with him : for thou 
art but a youth, and he u a man of war from his youth. 

34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant T kept 
his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, 
and took a lamb out of the flock ; 

35 And f went out after him, and smote him, and 
delivered it out of his moulh: and when he arose

and to the beasts of the field.

shield ; but I come to thee " in the name of the Lord 
of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou 
hast defied.

47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord 
n saveth not with sword and spear : for the battle ° is 
the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands. 

48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose 
and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David 
hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine 

49 And David put his hand into his bag, and took 
thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine 
in his forehead, that the stone || sunk into his forehead; 
and he fell upon his face to the earth. 

50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a 
sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and 
slew him ; but there was no sword in the hand of David. 

51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Phi- 
listine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the 
sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head 
therewith. And when the Philistines saw their cham- 
pion was dead, they fled. 

52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and 
shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come 
to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron : and the 
wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to 
p Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.

53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing 
after the Philistines, and they spoiled their t tents. 

54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and 
brought it to q Jerusalem : but he put his r armour in 
his tent. 

55 IT And when Saul saw David go forth against 
the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the 
host, Abner, s whose son is this youth ? And Abner 
said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. 

56 And the king said, || Inquire thou whose son the 
stripling is.

Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before 
Saul, '*■ with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

CHAP. XVIII. 

I Jonathan lo-veth David. 5 Saul envieth his praise. 
ND it came to pass, when he had made an end 

of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jona- 
than was a knit with the soul of David ; and Jonathan 
loved him as his own soul. 

2 And Saul took him b that day, and would let him 
go no more home to his father's house. 

3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, be- 
cause he loved him as his own soul. 

4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that 
was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, 
even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. 

5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent 
him, and behaved himself c wisely : and Saul set him 
over the men of war ; and he was accepted in the 
sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's 
servants. 

6 And it came to pass, as they came, when David 
was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that 
the women came out of all the cities of Israel, d sing- 
ing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with 
joy, and with instruments of music. 

7 And the women e answered one another as they 
played, and said, f Saul hath slain his thousands, and 
David his ten thousands. 

8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying t dis- 
pleased him ; and he said, They have ascribed unto 
David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed 
but thousands : and what can he have more but the 
8 kingdom ? 

9 And Saul '' eyed David from that day and forward. 

10 And it came to pass, on the morrow, that the 
1 evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he k pro- 
phesied in the midst of the house ; and David played 
with his hand, as at other times : and Uiere was a 
javelin in Saul's hand. 

I I And Saul cast the 'javelin ; for he said, I will 
smite David even to the wall with it. And David 
avoided out of his presence twice. 

12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord 
was with him, and was departed from Saul. 

13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and 
made him his captain m over a thousand : and he went 
out " and came in before the people. 

14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his 
ways ; and the Lord was with him. 

15 Wherefore, when Saul saw that he behaved 
himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. 

16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because 
he went out and came in before them.

Michal given David to wife. 

17 And Saul said to David, Behold, my t eider 
daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife ; only 
be thou valiant for me, and fight the ° Lord's battles : 
for Saul said, p Let not mine hand be upon him, but 
let the hand of the Philistines be upon him. 

1 8 And David said unto Saul, q Who am I ? and 
what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that 
I should be son-in-law to the king ? 

19 But it came to pass, at the time when Merab, 
Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, 

r 2Sam. 31, that she was given unto r Adriel the s Meholathite to 
wife. 

20 And Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David : and 
they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 

21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may 
be * a snare to him, and that the u hand of the Philistines 
may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, 
Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law in the one of the 
twain. 

22 And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Com- 
mune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king 
hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee : 
now, therefore, be the king's son-in-law. 

23 And Saul's servants spake those words in the 
ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a 
light thing to be a king's son-in-law, seeing that I am 
x a poor man, and lightly esteemed ? 

24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, t On 
this manner spake David. 

25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, 
The king desireth not any y dowry, but a hundred 
foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's 
enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by 
the hand of the Philistines. 

26 And when his servants told David these words, 
t Heb. was f it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law : 

and the days were not expired. 

27 Wherefore David arose, he and his men, and 
slew of the Philistines two hundred men ; and David 
brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full 

tHeb./u% f tale to the king, that he might be the king's son-in- 
law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to 
wife. 

28 And Saul saw and knew that the Lord teas with 
David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him. 

29 And Saul was yet the z more afraid of David ; 
and Saul became David's enemy continually. 

30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth : 
and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David 
behaved himself || more wisely than all the servants 
of Saul ; so that his name was t much set by.

5 For he did h put his life in his hand, and slew the 
Philistine, and the J Lord wrought a great salvation 
for all Israel : thou sawest it, and didst k rejoice ; 
wherefore then wilt thou ' sin against innocent blood, 
to slay David without a cause ? 

6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan : 
and Saul ra sware, As the Lord liveth, he shall not be 
slain. 

7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shew- 
ed him all those things : and Jonathan brought David 
to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times 
past. 

8 And there was war again : and David went out dr. 1062, 
and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with 

a great slaughter ; and they fled from him. 

9 And the n evil spirit from the Lord was upon nch.16,1* 
Saul, as he sat in his house with his ° javelin in his och.18,11, 
hand : and David played with his hand. 

10 And Saul p sought to smite David even to the p wise 6. 
wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Pl0v ' 26 ' 25 ' 
Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall : 

and David fled, and q escaped that night. 

1 1 Saul r also sent messengers unto David's house, 
to watch him, and to slay him in the morning : and 
Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, If thou save 
not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain. 

1 2 So Michal let David down through 8 a window : 
and he went, and fled, and escaped. 

1 3 And Michal took an t image, and laid it in the 25. 
bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, 
and covered it with a cloth. 

1 4 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, 
she said, He is sick. 

1 5 And Saul sent the messengers again to see Da- 
vid, saying. Bring him up to me in the bed, that I 
may slay him. 

1 6 And when the messengers were come in, be- 
hold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of 

hair for his bolster. 

17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou 

4 deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he 'Ex. 1, 17 
is escaped ? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto Ma? 2?ie 
me, Let me go ; u why should I kill thee ? Acts 4, 19.

CHAP. XX. 

David consult eth with Jonathan for his safety. 
ND David a flecl from Naioth in Ramah, and 
b came and said before Jonathan, c What have 
I done 1 what is mine iniquity ? and what is my sin 
before thy father, that he seeketh my t life 1 

2 And he said unto him, God forbid : thou shalt 
not die : behold, my father will do nothing, either 
great or small, but that he will shew it me ; and why 
should my lather hide this thing from me ? it is not so. 

3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy fa- 
ther certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine 
eyes ; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest 
he be grieved : but truly, d as the Lord liveth, and as 
thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and 
e death. 

4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy 
soul ' desireth, I will even do it for thee. 

5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to-mor- 
row is the g new moon, and I should not fail to sit 
with the king at meat ; but let me go, that I may hide 
myself in the field unto the third day at even. 

6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, David 
earnestly asked leave of me, that he might run to 
Beth-lehem h his city : for there is a ' yearly sacrifice 
there for all the family. 

7 If he say thus, // is well ; thy servant shall have 
peace : but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil 
is determined by him. 

8 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant ; 
for k thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of 
the Lord with thee : notwithstanding, if ' there be in 
me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou 
bring me to thy father ? 

9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee : for if 1 
knew certainly that evil were determined by my father 
to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee ? 

10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell 
me ? or what if thy father answer thee roughly ? 

1 1 IT And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and 
let us go out into the field. And they went out both 
of them into the field. 

12 And Jonathan said unto David, || O Lord God 
of Israel, when I have t sounded my father about to- 
morrow any time, or the third day, and behold, if there 
be good towards David, and I then send not unto thee, 
and t shew it thee, 

13 m The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan : 
but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will 
shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest 
go in peace : and the Lord n be with thee, as he hath 
been with my father. 

1 4 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew 
me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not : 

15 But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness 
from my house for ever : no, not when the Lord 
hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the 
face of the earth. 

1 6 So Jonathan t made a covenant with the house 
of David, saying, Let the Lord even p require it at 
the hand of David's enemies. 

17 And Jonathan caused David to q swear again, 
because he loved him : for he loved him t as he loved 
his own soul. 

18 Then Jonathan said to David, To-morrow is 
the new moon : and thou shalt be missed, because thy 
seat will be empty. 

19 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou 



shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where 
thou didst hide thyself t when the business was in 
hand, and shalt remain by the stone || Ezel. 

20 And 1 will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, 
as though I shot at a mark. 

21 And behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find 
out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Be- 
hold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them ; 
then come thou : for there is peace to thee, and no 
hurt ; as the Lord liveth. 

22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, 
the arrows are beyond thee ; go thy way : for the 
Lord hath sent thee away. 

23 And as touching the matter which thou and I 
have spoken of, behold, the Lord be between thee and 
me for ever. 

24 IT So David hid r himself in the field : and when 
the new moon was come, the king sat him down to 
eat meat. 

25 And the king sat upon his seat, t as at other 
times, even upon a seat by the wall : and Jonathan 
arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's 
place was empty. 

26 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day : 
for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not 
clean ; surely he is s not clean. 

27 And it came to pass on the morrow, which was 
the second day of the month, that David's place was 
empty : and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, ' Where- 
fore cometh not the son of u Jesse to 1 meat, neither 
yesterday, nor to-day ? 

28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly 
asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem : 

29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee ; for our 
family hath * a sacrifice in the city ; and my brother 
he hath commanded me to be there : and now if I have 
found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray 
thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh no! 
unto the king's table. 

30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jona- 
than, and he said unto him, t Thou son of the perverse 
rebellious woman, do not 1 know that thou hast chosen 
the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the 
confusion of thy mother's nakedness ? 

31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the 
ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy king- 
dom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, 
for he shall surely die. 

32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and 
said unto him, y Wherefore shall he be slain ? what 
hath he done ? 

33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him : 
whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his 
father to slay David. 

34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, 
and did eat no meat the second day of the month : for 
he was grieved for David, because his father had done 
him shame. 

35 IT And it came to pass in the morning, that 
Jonathan went out into the field "at the time appointed 
with David, and a little lad with him. 

36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now (lie 
arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot 
an arrow t beyond him. 

37 And when the lad was come to the place of the 
arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after 
the lad, and said. Is nol the arrow beyond thee? 

38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed,

39 But the lad knew not any thing : only Jonathan 
and David knew the matter. 

40 And Jonathan gave his t artillery unto his lad, 
and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city. 

41 IT And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose 
out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face 
to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and 
they kissed one another, and wept one with another, 
until David t exceeded.

David at Nob obtaineth of Ahimelech hallowed bread. 

THEN came David to a Nob to Ahimelech the 
priest : and Ahimelech was b afraid at the meet- 
ing of David, and said unto him, Why art thou c alone, 
and no man with thee 1 

2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, d The 
king hath commanded me a business, and hath said 
unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business 
whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded 
thee : and I have appointed my servants to such and 
such a place. 

3 Now therefore what is under thine hand ? give 
me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is 
present. 

4 And the priest answered David, and said, There 
is no common bread under mine hand, but there is 
e hallowed bread ; if the young men have kept them- 
selves at least f from women. 

5 And David answered the priest, and said unto 
him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about 
these three days, since I came out, and the g vessels 
of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a 
h manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this 
day in the vessel. 

6 So the priest ' gave him hallowed bread : for there 
was no bread there but the shew-bread, that was 
taken from before the Lord, to put k hot bread in the 
day when it was taken away. 

7 Now a certain man of the ' servants of Saul was 
there that m day, detained before the Lord ; and his 
name ivas Doeg, an n Edomite, the t chiefest of the 
herdmen that belonged to Saul. 

8 IT And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there 
not here under thine hand spear or sword ? for I have 
neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, 
because the king's business required haste. 

9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the 
Philistine, whom thou slewest in the ° valley of Elah, 
behold, it is here wrapped ina cloth behind the ephod : 
if thou wilt take that, take it : for there is no other 
save that here. And David said, There is none like 
that ; give it me. 

10 II And David arose, and p fled that day for fear 
of Saul, and went to q Achish the king of Gath. 

1 1 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is 
not this David the king of the land ? did they not sing 
one to another of him in dances, saying, r Saul hath 
slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands ? 

12 And David s laid up these words in his heart, 
and was * sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 



1 3 And he changed his behaviour before them, and 
feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on 
the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon 
his beard. 

1 4 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see 
the man is || mad : wherefore then have ye brought 
him to me ? 

1 5 Have I need of madmen, that ye have brought 
this fellow to play the madman in my presence ? shall 
this fellow come into my house ? 

CHAP. XXII. 

Companies resort unto David at Adullam. 

AVID therefore departed thence, and a escaped 
to the cave b Adullam : and when his brethren 
and all his father's house heard it, c they went down 
thither to him. 

2 And every one that was d in distress, and every 
one that was e in debt, and every one that was discon- 
tented, gathered themselves unto him ; and he became 
a f captain over them : and there were with him about 
four hundred men. 

3 IT And David went thence E to Mizpeh of Moab : 
and he h said unto the king of Moab, * Let my father 
and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with 
you, till I know what God will do for me. 

4 And he brought them before the king of Moab : 
and they dwelt with him all the while that David was 
in the hold. 

5 TT And the prophet k Gad said unto David, Abide 
not in the hold ; ' depart, and get thee into the m land 
of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the 
forest of Hareth. 

6 IT When Saul heard that David was discovered, 
and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in 
Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in 
his hand, and all his servants were standing about 
him ;) 

7 Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about 
him, Hear now, ye Benjamites ; will the n son of Jesse 
give every one of you fields and vineyards, and 
make you all captains of thousands, and captains of 
hundreds ; 

8 That all of you have conspired against me, and 
there is none that sheweth me that my son hath made 
p a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of 
you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my 
son hath 9 stirred up my servant against me, to lie in 
wait, as at this day ? 

9 IF Then answered r Doeg the Edomite, which 
was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the 
son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of 
s Ahitub. 

10 And he l inquired of the Lord for him, and gave 
him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the 
Philistine. 

1 1 u Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the 
priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, 
the priests that were in Nob : and they came all of 
them to the king. 

12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub, 
And he answered, Here I am, my lord. 

13 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired 
against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou 
hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired 
of God for him, that x he should rise against me, to 
lie in wait, as at this day ? 

14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, 
And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David,

which is the king's son-in-law, and y goeth at thy bid- 
ding, and is honourable in thine house ? 

15 Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be 
it far from me. Let not the king impute any thing 
unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father : 
for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more. 

16 And the king said. Thou shalt t surely die, 
Ahimelech, thou and z all thy father's house. 

1 7 And the king said unto the t footmen that stood 
about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the Lord ; 
3 because their hand also is with David, and because 
they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. 
But the servants of the king b would not put forth their 
hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord. 

1 8 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall 
upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and 
he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day c four- 
score and five persons that did wear d a linen ephod. 

1 9 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with 
the edge of the sword, e both men and women, chil- 
dren and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, 
with the edge of the sword. 

20 IT And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of 
Ahitub, named Abiathar, f escaped, and fled after 
David. 

21 And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain 
the Lord's priests. 

22 And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that 
day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would 
surely tell Saul : 6 L have occasioned the death of all 
the persons of thy father's house. 

23 Abide thou with me, fear not ; for he tnat seek- 
eth my life seeketh t thy life : but with me thou shalt 
be in safeguard. 

CHAP. XX III. 

David inquiring of the Lord by Abiathar, rescueth Keilah. 

THEN a they told David, saying, Behold, the Phi- 
listines fight against b Keilah, and they rob the 
threshing-floors. 

2 Therefore David c inquired of the Lord, saying, 
Shall I go and smite these Philistines ? And the Lord 
said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and 
save Keilah. 

3 And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be 
afraid here in Judah : d how much more then if we 
come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines ? 

4 Then David inquired of the Lord e yet again. 
And the Lord answered him, and said, Arise, go down 
to Keilah ; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine 
hand. 

5 So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought 
with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, 
and smote them with a great slaughter. So David 
saved the inhabitants of Keilah. 

6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of 
Ahimelech f fled to David to Keilah, that he came 
down with an B ephod in his hand. 

7 11 And it was told Saul that David was rome to 
Keilah. And Saul said, God hath '' delivered him into 
mine hand ; for he is ' shut in, by entering into a town 
that hath gates and bars. 

8 And Saul called all the people together to war, 
to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his 
men. 

9 And David knew that Saul secretly practised 
mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the 
priest, Bring hither the ephod. 

10 Then said David. O Lord God of Israel, thy

come to Keilah, to destroy the city k for my sake. 

11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his 
hand 1 will Saul come down, as thy servant hath 
heard ? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell 
thy servant. And the Lord said, ' He will come 
down. 

12 Then said David, Will the men of Keilah t de- 
liver me and my men into the hand of Saul ? And 
the Lord said, They will deliver thee up. 

1 3 Then David and his men, which were about m six 
hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went s l h ^ i vp \ i 
whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul 10. 

that David was escaped from Keilah : and he forbare m ch - 22 - 2 - 
to go forth. 

14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong 

holds, and remained in a " mountain in the wilderness " Josh - f s « 
of ° Ziph : and Saul sought him p every day ; but q God p 9 ; n, i. 
delivered him not into his hand. dbadiah.3. 

15 And David saw that Saul was come out to seek °^°" ' ,3 ' 
his life : and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in 
a wood. 

16 And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose, and went to 
David into the wood, and r strengthened his hand in r^'I 1 '!"" 
God. 

17 And he said unto him, Fear not ; for the hand 
of Saul my father shall not find thee : and thou shalt 
be king over Israel, and J shall be next unto thee ; 
and that also Saul my father s knoweth. 

18 And they two t made a covenant before the 
Lord. And David abode in the wood, and Jonathan & 2(> , 1,; 
went to his house.

and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I

24 And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul : 
but David and his men were in the wilderness of 
c Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon. 

25 Saul also and his men went to seek him. And 
thev told David : wherefore he came down into a rock, 
and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when 
Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilder- 
ness of Maon. 

26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and 
David and his ''ram on that side of the mountain : 
and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul ; 
for Saul and his men compassed David and his men

David, and went against the Philistines : therefore 
they called that place Sela-hammah-lekoth. 

29 And David went up f from thence, and dwelt 
in strong holds at g En-gedi. 

CHAP. XXIV. 

David in a cave at En-gedi, having cut off SauVs skirt, 
spareth his life. 

AND it came to pass, when Saul was returned 
a from following the Philistines, that it was b told 
him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of 
c En-gedi. 

2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out 
of all Israel, and went d to seek David and his men 
upon the rocks of the wild goats. 

3 And he came to the sheep-cotes by the way, 
where was a cave; and Saul went in to e cover his 
feet : and David and his men remained in the sides of 
the cave. \ 

4 And the men of David said unto him, Behold f the 
day of which the Lord said unto thee, Behold, I 
will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou 
mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. 
Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's 
|| robe privily. 

5 And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart 
E smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt. 

6 And he said unto his men, The Lord forbid that 
I should do this thing unto h my master, the Lord's 
anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, see- 
ing he is the anointed of the Lord. 

7 So David ' stayed his servants with these words, 
and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul 
rose up out of the cave, and went on his way. 

8 David also rose afterward, and went out of the 
cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. 
And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped 
with his face to the earth, and bowed himself. 

9 And David said to Saul, Wherefore k hearest thou 
men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy 
hurt? 

1 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that 
the Lord had delivered thee to-day into mine hand in 
the cave : and some bade me kill thee ; but mine eye 
spared thee : and I said, I will not put forth mine hand 
against my lord ; for he is the Lord's anointed. 

1 1 Moreover, l my father, see ; yea, see the skirt 
of thy robe in my hand : for in that I cut off the skirt 
of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see 
that there is neither m evil nor transgression in mine 
hand, and I have not sinned against thee ; yet thou 
n huntest my soul to take it. 

12 The "Lord judge between me and thee, and 
the Lord p avenge me of thee : but mine hand shall 
not be q upon thee. 

1 3 As saith the proverb of the ancients, r Wicked- 
ness proceedeth from the wicked: but 3 mine hand 
shall not be upon thee. 

1 4 After whom is * the king of Israel come out ? 
after whom dost thou pursue ? after u a dead dog, after 
a flea ? 

15 The Lord therefore be judge, and judge be- 
tween me and thee, and x see, and y plead my cause, 
and deliver me out of thine hand. 

1 6 And it came to pass, when David had made an 
end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, 
z Is this thy voice, a my son David ? And Saul lifted 
up his voice and wept. 

1 7 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous!

1 8 And thou hast shewed this day how that thou

Lord had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst 
me not.

20 And now, behold, d I know well that thou shalt

21 Swear now therefore unto me by the Lord, that

22 And David e sware unto Saul. And Saul went f^ t w 
home : but David and his men f gat them up unto the 16. 
hold.

ND Samuel a died : and all the Israelites were a ch. 28, 3. 

gathered together, and b lamented him, and buri- t> Gen. so, 
ed him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, 
and went down to the wilderness of c Paran. 

2 And there was a man in d Maon whose e posses- 
sions were in Carmel ; and the man was f very great, 
and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand ePs.17, 14. 
goats : and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. { mmLS, 

3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the 45. 
name of his wife Abigail ; and she was a woman of 
good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance : 
but the man was churlish, and evil in his doings ; and 
he was of the house of Caleb. 

4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did 
g shear his sheep. 

5 And David sent out ten young men , and David 
said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and 
go to Nabal, and greet him in my name. 

6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in pros- 
perity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to h thine 
house, and peace be unto all that thou hast. 

7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers : 

now, thy shepherds which were with us, we ' hurt • 1 Pet. 3, a.

and to thy son David. Esth. 9, 19. 

9 And when David's young men came, they spake 
to Nabal according to all those words, in the name 
of David, and ceased. 

10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and 

said, m Who is David ? and who is the son of Jesse ? m Ex - 5 < 2 -

wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of 
the wilderness to salute our master ; and he railed on 
them. 

15 But the men were very good unto us, and we 
were * not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long 
as we were conversant with them, when we were in 
the fields : 

1 6 They were u a wall unto us both by night and 
day, all the while we were with them keeping sheep. 

17 Now therefore know and consider what thou 
wilt do ; for evil is determined against our master, 
and against all his household : for he is such a son of 
K Belial, that a man y cannot speak to him. 

1 8 Then Abigail z made haste, and took two hun- 
dred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep 
ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and 
a hundred a clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes 
of figs, and laid them on asses. 

1 9 And she said unto her servants, Go on before 
me : behold, I come after you. But she b told not 
her husband Nabal. 

20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she 
came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, 
David and his men came down against her ; and she 
met them. 

21 (Now David had said, Surely in vain have I 
kept all that c this fellow hath in the wilderness, so 
that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto 
him : and he hath d requited me evil for good. 

22 e So and more also do God unto the enemies of 
David, if I leave of all that pertain to him, by the 
morning light, any that f pisseth against the wall.) 

23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and 
lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, 
and bowed herself to the ground, 

24 And g fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my 
lord, upon me let this iniquity be ; and let thine hand- 
maid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear 
the words of thine handmaid. 

25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man 
of Belial, even Nabal : for as his name is, so is he ; 
|| Nabal is his name, and folly is with him : but I thine 
handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom 
thou didst send. 

26 Now therefore, my lord, as the h Lord liveth, 
and as thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord hath with- 
holden thee from coming t to shed blood, and from 
' avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine 
enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as 
k Nabal. 

27 And now this ' blessing, which thine handmaid 
hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto 
the young men that t follow my lord. 

28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of tliine hand- 
maid : for the Lord will certainly make my lord m a 
sure house ; because my lord fighteth the n battles of 
the Lord, and ° evil hath not been found in thee all 
thy days. 

29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek 
thy soul : but the soul of my lord shall be p bound in 
the bundle of life with the Lord thy God ; and the 
souls of thine enemies, them shall he q sling out, as out 
of the middle of a sling. 

30 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall 
have done to my lord according to all the good that he 
hath spoken concerning thee, and skall have appoint- 
ed thee ruler over Israel, 

31 That this shall be t no grief unto thee, nor of-

Ps. 141,5. 



blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged him 
self: but when the Lord shall have dealt well with 
my lord, then remember thine handmaid. 

32 And David r said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord 
God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me : 

33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, 
which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, 
and from avenging myself with mine own hand. 

34 For in very deed, as the Lord God of Israel 
liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, 
except thou hadst hasted, and come to meet me, 
surely there had not been left unto Nabal, by the 
morning light, any that pisseth against the wall. 

35 So David received of her hand that which she 
had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace 
to thine house : see, I have hearkened to thy voice, 
and have accepted thy person. 

36 And Abigail came to Nabal : and, behold, he 

held s a feast in his house, like the feast of a king ; and i| Sam - i3 > 
Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very Lukei6, is. 
4 drunken : wherefore she told him u nothing, less or t verse n. 
more, until the morning light. Rom.iijs 

37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the " Mat. 7, 6

x him these things, that his heart y died within him, * verses 10, 
and he became as a stone. n f, 21 ; H'

38 And it came to pass, about ten days after, that 2s.

39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, 

he said, Blessed be the Lord, that hath z pleaded the * P s - 58 > lo- 
calise of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and Pl0V ' 24 ' la ' 
hath kept his servant from evil : for the Lord hath 
returned the wickedness of Nabal a upon his own a 1 Kings 2, 
head. And David sent and communed with Abigail

40 And when the servants of David were come to J b ^ ei ' z 'J. 3, 
Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David 10.

41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face

8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath t deliver- 
ed thine enemy into thine hand this day : now, there- 
fore, let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear 
even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the 
second time. 

9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not : for 
who can stretch forth his hand against the m Lord's 
anointed, and be guiltless ? 

10 David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, 
n the Lord shall smite him ; or ° his day shall come 
to die ; or he shall descend into p battle and perish. 

1-1 The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine 
hand against the Lord's anointed : but, I pray thee, 
take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the 
cruse of water, and let us go. 

1 2 So David took the spear and the cruse of water 
from Saul's bolster ; and they gat them away, and no 
man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked ; for they 
were all asleep ; because q a deep sleep from the Lord 
was fallen upon them. 

1 3 Then David went over to the other side, and 
stood on the top of a hill afar off; (a great space being 
between them ;) 

1 1 And David cried to the people, and to Abner 
the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner ? 
Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that 
criest to the king ? 

15 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant 
man ? and who is like to thee in Israel ? wherefore 
then hast thou not kept thy lord the king ? || for there 
came one of the people in to destroy the king thy 
lord. 

16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As 
the Lord liveth, ye are || worthy to die, because ye 
have not kept your master, the Lord's anointed. And 
now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of 
water that was at his bolster. 

17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this 
thy voice, my son David ? And David said, 7/ is my 
voice, my lord, O king. 

18. And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pur- 
sue after his servant ? for r what have I done ? or what 
evil is in mine hand ? 

19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king 
hear the words of his servant. s If the Lord have 
stirred thee up against me, let him t accept an offer- 
ing : but if they be the children of men, ' cursed be they 
before the Lord ; for they have driven me out this 
clay from t abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, 
saying, u Go, serve other gods. 

20 Now, therefore, let not my blood fall to the 
earth before the face of the Lord : for the king of 
Israel is come out to seek a x flea, as when one doth 
hunt a partridge in the mountains. 

21 Then said Saul, y I have sinned : return, my son 
David ; for I will z no more do thee harm, because 




a Ps. 7, 8. & 



my soul was precious in thine eyes this day : behold, 
I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly. 

22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's 
spear ! and let one of the young men come over and 
fetch it. 

23 The Lord a render to every man his righteous- 
ness, and his faithfulness : for the Lord delivered thee J G ' \- 
into my hand to-day ; but I would not stretch forth n. 
mine hand against the Lord's anointed. Neh - 13 > 14 

24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this 
day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the 
eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me out of all 
tribulation. 

25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my 
son David : thou shalt both do great things, and also 

shalt still prevail. So David b went on his way, and b ch. 27, T . 
Saul returned to his place. 

CHAP. XXVII. 

Saul hearing David to be in Gath, seeketh no more for him. 

ND David a said in his heart, I shall now perish cir. loss, 
one day by the hand of Saul : there is nothing \f s ' 116, 
better for me than that I should speedily escape into Prov.13,12 
the land of the Philistines ; and Saul shall despair of 
me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel : so 
shall I escape out of his hand. 

2 And David arose, and he b passed over with the 
six hundred men that were with him unto Acliish, the 
son of Maoch, king of c Gath. 

3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and 
his men, every man with his household, even David 
with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and 
Abigail the Carmelitess, d Nabal's wife. 

4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to 
Gath ; and he sought e no more again for him. 

5 And David said unto Achish, If I have now found 
grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some 

town in the f country, that I may dwell there : for why fNum.25,1 
should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee ? £coi 2< 6 n 

6 Then Achish gave him g Ziklag that day : where- 
fore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto 
this day. 

7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of 
the Philistines was t a full year and four months 

8 IT And David and his men went up and invaded the Ztv.^h. 
h Geshurites, and the * Gezrites, and the k Amalekites : 2 Sam. i, i, 
for those nations were of old the ' inhabitants of the jjjosh'12'5 
land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt, i Josh.16,'3! 

9 And David smote the land, and m left neither man 'g^ 1 ^ ^ 
nor woman alive ; and took away the sheep, and the Ex. 17, 14.' 
oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, ^".V'. 2 ' 
and returned, and came to Achish. mch.26,25. 

10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road Ps. 101, 1. 
to-day? And David said, Against the "south of Ju- nActs23,6. 
dah, and against the south of the ° Jerahmeelites, and 
against the south of the Kenites. 

1 1 And David saved neither man nor woman alive 
to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell 
on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner 
all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Phi- 
listines. . 

12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath 
made his people Israel t utterly to abhor him ; there- 
fore he shall be my servant for ever.

vid, t Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out

2 And David said to Achish, Surely b thou shalt 
know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to 
David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine 
head for ever. 

3 1T Now Samuel was c dead, and all Israel had 
lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his 
own city. And Saul had put away those that had 
d familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. 

4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, 
and came and pitched e in Shunem : and Saul gather- 
ed all Israel together, and they pitched in f Gilboa. 

5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, 
he was g afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. 

6 And when Saul h inquired of the Lord, the Lord 
s answered him not, neither by k dreams, nor by ' Urim, 
nor by m prophets. 

7 Then said Saul unto his servants, n Seek me a 
woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, 
and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, 
there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit ° at En-dor. 

8 And Saul p disguised himself, and put on other 
raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and 
they came to the woman by night : and he said, I 
pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and 
bring me him q up whom I shall name unto thee. 

9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou 
knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off 
those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out 
of the land : wherefore then layest thou a snare for 
my life, to cause me to die ? 

1 And Saul T sware to her by the Lord, saying, As 
the Lord liveth, there shall no punishment happen to 
thee for this thing. 

1 1 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up 
unto thee ? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 

12 And when the .woman s saw Samuel, she cried 
with a loud voice ; and the woman spake to Saul, 
saying, Why hast thou deceived me 1 for thou art Saul. 

1 3 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid : for 
what sawest thou ? And the woman said unto Saul, I 
saw l gods ascending out of the earth. 

14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And 
she said, An old man cometh up ; and he is covered 
with a " mantle. And Saul x perceived that it was 
Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, 
and bowed himself. 

1 5 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou 7 dis- 
quieted me, to bring me up ? And Saul answered, I 
am z sore distressed ; for the Philistines make war 
against me, and God is departed from me, and an- 
swereth me no more, neither by prophets nor by 
dreams : therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest 
make known unto me what I shall do. 

16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou 
ask of me, a seeing the Lord is departed from thee, 
and is become thine enemy ? 

1 7 And the Lord hath done b to him, as he spake 
c by me : for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of 
thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David : 

1 8 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord, 
d nor t executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek. there- 
fore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day. 

19 Moreover, the Lord will also deliver Israel with 
thee into the hand of the Philistines ; and e to-morrow 
shalt thou and thy sons be with me : the Lord also shall 
deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines. 



XXIX, The Philistines suspect David. 

20 Then Saul t fell straightway all along on the 
earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of 
Samuel : and there was no strength in him ; for 



Before

went away that " 



had eaten no f bread all the day, nor all the night. t^'^ le 

21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that fell with the 
he was sore troubled, and said unto him. Behold, thine J ulne f °f 

! handmaid bath obe3'ed thy voice, and 1 have g put my ch. 2:., 37 
; life in rav hand, and have hearkened unto thv words f %i6, 11. 
which thou spakest unto me: 3. 

22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also vcrse 9 - 
unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a 
morsel of bread before thee ; and eat, that thou mayest 
have strength when thou goest on the way. 

23 But he refused, and said, 1 will not eat. But his 
servants, together with the woman, compelled him, 
and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from 
the earth, and sat upon the bed. 

24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house, and 
she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded 
it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof : 

25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his 
servants ; and they did eat. Then they arose up, and

CHAP. XXIX. 

Achish dismisseth David with commendations of his fidelity. 
OW the Philistines gathered together all their 
armies to a Aphek : and the Israelites pitched 
by a fountain which is in Jezreel. 

2 And the lords of the Philistines passed on by 
hundreds and by thousands : but David and his men 
passed on in the rearward b with Achish. 

3 Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do 
these Hebrews here ? And Achish said unto the 
princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the ser- 
vant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with 
me c these days, or these years, and I have found (1 no 
fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day ? 

4 And the princes of the Philistines were wroth 
with him ; and the princes of the Philistines said unto 
him, Make e this fellow return, that he may go again rpit.! 
to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let e } Chl - u 
him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he 

be f an adversary to us: for wherewith should he re- fch. 14, 21. 
concile himself unto his master? should it not be with Job '.> 6 - 
the heads of these men ? 

5 Is not this David, of whom they sang one to an- 
other in dances, saying, 6 Saul slew his thousands, and g ch. 18, 7. 
David his ten thousands ? & 21, 11. 

6 Then Achish called David, and said unto him, 
Surely, as t the Lord liveth, thou hast been upright, t Heb. 
and thy b going out and thy coming in with me in the c w"s,'2. 
host is good in my sight ; for I have not found evil in h Num. 27, 
thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this J 

day : nevertheless, the lords favour thee not. 

7 Wherefore, now return, and go in peace, that 

thou t displease not the lords of the Philistines. t Heb. do

done? ami what hast thou found in tin/ servant, so thehrdt.

not go fight against the enemies of my hud the king? ju, t 

9 And Achish answered and said to David, I know 
that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God : 
notwithstanding, the princes of the Philistines have 
said. He shall not go up with us to the battle. 

10 Wherefore now rise up early in the morning, 
with thy master's servants that are come with thee: 
and as soon as ye be up early in thi 1 morning, and have 
light, depart.

c smitten Ziklag, aid burnt it with fire ; 

2 And had taken the women captives that were

3 So David and his men came to the city, and, be-

sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. 

4 Then David and the people that were with him 
lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more

6 And David was greatly distressed : for the people 
spake of g stoning him ; because the soul of all the 
people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his 
daughters : but David h encouraged himself in the 
Lord his God. 

7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahime- 
lech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ' ephod. 
And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. 

8 And David k inquired at the Lord, saying, Shall 
I pursue after this troop? shall I 'overtake them? 
And he answered him, Pursue : for thou shalt surely 
overtake them, and without fail recover all. 

9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that 
were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where 
those that were left behind stayed 

1 But David pursued, he and four hundred men : 
(for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint 
that they could not go over the brook Besor.) 

1 1 And they m found an Egyptian in the field, and 
brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he 
did eat : and they made him drink water : 

1 2 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, 
and two clusters of raisins : and when he had eaten, 
his spirit n came again to him ; for he had eaten no 
bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three 
nights. 

13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest 
thou ? and whence art thou ? And he said, I am a 
young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite ; and 

\ Heb. this my master left me, because t three days agone I fell 
' sick. 

14 We made an invasion upon the south of the 
Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to 
Judah, and upon the p south of Caleb ; and we burnt 
Ziklag with fire.

down to this company ? And he said, Swear unto me 
by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me 
into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee 
down to this company. 

1 6 And when he had brought him down, behold, 
i Luke 12, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, Seating,

spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Phi-

19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither 
small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither 
spoil, nor any thine that they had taken to them : 
David recovered all. 

20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, 
which they drave before those other cattle, and said, 
This is s David's spoil.

which were so faint that they could not follow David, is. 
whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor : * ver - 9 " ia

sore afraid: therefore Saul took a sword, and r fell 
upon it. 

5 A»d when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was 
dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with 
him. 

6 So Saul died, and E his three sons, and his ar- 
mour-bearer, and h all his men, that same day together. 

7 And when the men of Israel that were on the 
other side of the valley, and they that were on the 
other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and 
that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the 
cities and fled ; and the Philistines came ' and dwelt 
in them. 

8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the 
"hihstines came to strip the slain, that they found 
, iuI and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa. 



9 And they k cut off his head, and stripped off his 
armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round 
about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and 
among the people. 

10 And they put his armour in the house of ' Ash- 
taroth ; and they fastened his body to the m wall of 
n Beth-shan. 

1 1 And when the inhabitants of ° Jabesh-gilead 
heard of that which the Philistines had done to 
Saul, 

12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, 
and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, 
from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and 
p burnt them there. 

13 And they took their bones, and q buried them 
under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

CHAP. I. 

David lamenteth Saul and Jonathan with a song. 

NOW it came to pass, after the death of Saul, when 
David was returned from a the slaughter of the 
Amalekites, and David had abode b two days in 
Ziklag ; 

2 It came even to pass on the third day, that, be- 
hold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with 
his c clothes rent, and d earth upon his head : and so it 
was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, 
and did obeisance. 

3 And David said unto him, From whence comest 
thou ? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Is- 
rael am I escaped. 

4 And David said unto him, How went the matter ? 
I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the 
people are fled from the battle, and man}' of the peo- 
ple also are fallen and dead ; and Saul and Jonathan 
his son are dead also. 

5 And David said unto the young man that told 
him, e How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his 
son be dead ? 

6 And the young man that told him said, t As I 
happened by chance upon mount f Gilboa, behold, 
Saul leaned upon his spear ; and, lo, the chariots and 
horsemen t followed hard after him. 

7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and 
called unto me : and I answered, Here am I. 

8 And he said unto me, Who art thou ? And I an- 
swered him, I am g an Amalekite. 

9 He said unto me again. Stand, I pray thee, upon 
me, and slay me ; for anguish is come upon me, be- 
cause my life is yet whole in me. 

10 So I stood upon him, and b slew him, because 
I was sure that he could not live after that he was 
fallen : and I took the crown that was upon his head, 
and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have 
brought them hither unto my lord. 

11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and 
1 rent them ; and likewise all the men that were with 
him : 

12 And they k mourned, and wept, and fasted until 
even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the 
people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel ; be- 
cause they were fallen by the sword. 

1 3 And David said unto the young man that told 



him, Whence art thou ? And he answered, I am the 
son of a stranger, an Amalekite. 

14 And David said unto him. How wast thou l not 
afraid to stretch forth thine hand m to destroy n the 
Lord's anointed ? 

15 And David called one of the young men, and 
said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he ° smote 
him that he died. 

16 And David said unto him, p Thy blood be upon 
thy head : for thy mouth hath testified against thee, 
saying, I have slain the Lord's anointed. 

17 And David lamented- with q this lamentation 
over Saul and aver Jonathan his son : 

18 (Also he bade them teach the 'children of Ju- 
dah the use of s the bow : behold, it is written in the 
book of Jasher :) 

1 9 The l beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high 
places : how are the mighty fallen ! 

20 Tell it not " in Gath, publish it not in the streets 
of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, 
lest the x daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 

21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, 
neither let there be rain upon you, nor t fields of offer- 
ings : for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast 
away, the shield of Saul, as thougJi he had not been 
y anointed with oil. 

22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the 
mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and 
the sword of Saul returned not empty. 

23 Saul and Jonathan were z lovely and pleasant in 
their lives, and in their death they were not divided : they 
were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. 

24 Ye daughters of Israel, a weep over Saul, who 
b clothed you in scarlet, with other c delights ; who 
put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel. 

25 How are the d mighty fallen in the midst of the 
battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places. 

26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan : 
very pleasant hast thou been unto me : thy love to me 
was e wonderful, passing the love of women. 

27 How are the mighty fallen, and the f weapons 
of war perished !

of the cities of Judah ? And the Lord said unto him. 
Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up '! And 
he said, b Unto Hebron. 

2 So David went up thither, and his c two wives 
also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, Nabal's 
wife, the Carmelite. 

3 And a his men that were with him did David 
bring up, every man with his household : and the)' 
dwelt in the cities of Hebron. 

4 And the men of Judah came, and there they 
anointed David king over the e house of Judah. And 
they f told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh- 
gilead were they that buried Saul. 

5 And David sent messengers unto the men of Ja- 
besh-gilead, and said utito them, g Blessed be ye of the 
Lord, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your 
lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him. 

6 And now the Lord shew h kindness and truth 
unto you : and I also will requite you this kindness, 
because ye have done this thing. 

7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, 
and be ye t valiant : for your master Saul is dead, 
and also the house of Judah have anointed ' me king 
over them. 

8 IT But k Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's 
host, took || Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought 
him over to Mahanaim : 

9 And he made him ' king over Gilead, and over 
the Ashurites, and over m Jezreel, and over Ephraim, 
and over Benjamin, and over all Israel. 

10 Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, was forty years old when 
he began to reign over Israel, and reigned n two years. 
But the house of Judah followed David. 

1 1 And the t time that David was king in Hebron, 
over the house of Judah, was seven years and six 
months. 

1 2 IT And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants 
of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Maha- 
naim to ° Gibeon. 

1 3 And p Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants 
of David, went out, and met together by the pool of 
Gibeon : and they sat clown, the one on the one side 
of the q pool, and the other on the other side of the pool. 

1 4 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men 
now arise, and r play before us. And Joab said, Let 
them arise. 

1 5 Then there arose, and went over by number, 
twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth 
the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. 

1 6 And they caught every one his fellow by the 
head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side ; so 
they fell down together: wherefore that place was 
called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon. 

1 7 And there was a very sore battle that day": and 
Abner was 3 beaten, and the men of Israel, before the 
servants of David. 

18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, 
Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel : and t Asahel was u as 
light of foot as a wild roe. 

19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going 
he turned not to the right hand nor to the left Mrom 
following Abner. 

20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art 
thou Asahel ? And he answered, I am. 

2 1 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy 
right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of 
the young men, and take thee his t armour. But 
Asahel would not turn aside from following of him. 



22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee 
aside from following me : wherefore should I smite 
thee to the ground ? how then should I hold up my 
face to Joab thy brother ? 

23 Howbeit, he refused to turn aside : wherefore 
Abner, with the hinder end of the spear, smote him 
under the y fifth rib, that the spear came out behind 
him ; and he fell down there, and died in the same 
place : and it came to pass, -that as many as came to 
the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood still. 

24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner : and 
the sun went clown when they were come to the hill 
of Amman, that lieth before Giah, by the way of the 
wilderness of Gibeon. 

25 And the children of Benjamin gathered them- 
selves together after Abner, and became one troop, 
and stood on the top of a hill. 

26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the 
sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will 
be bitterness in the latter end ? how long shall it be 
then ere thou bid the people return t from following 
their brethren ? 

27 And Joab said, As God liveth, z unless thou 
hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people 
had gone up every one from following his brother. 

28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood 
still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought 
they a any more. 

29 And Abner and his men walked all that night 
through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went 
through all || Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim. 

30 And Joab returned from following Abner : and 
when he had gathered all the people together, there 
lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel. 

31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benja- 
min, and of Abner's men, so that b three hundred and 
threescore men died. 

32 And they e took up Asahel, and buried him in 
the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. 
And Joab and his men went all night, and they came 
d to Hebron at break of day. 

CHAP. III. 

During the war David stilt waxe.lh stronger. 
OW there was a long war between the house of 
Saul and the house of David : but David h wax- 
ed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul c wax- 
ed weaker and weaker. 

2 And unto David were d sons born in Hebron : 
and his e first-born was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jez- 
reelitess ; 

3 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the f wife of 
Nabal the Carmelite ; and the third, || Absalom, the son 
of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of g Geshur ; 

4 And the fourth, h Adonijah, the son of Haggith ; 
and the fifth, Sbephatiah, the son of Abital ; 

5 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah, David's wife. 
These were born to David in Hebron. 

6 And it came to pass, while there was war be- 
tween the house of Saul and the house of David, that 
Abner made ' himself strong for the house of Saul. 

7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name icas 
k Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah : and Ish-bosheth said 
to Abner, Wherefore hast thou } gone in unto my 
father's concubine ? 

8 Then was Abner m very wroth, for the words of 
Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I n a dog's head, which 
against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the 
house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his

friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of 
David, that thou chargest me to-day with a fault con- 
cerning this woman ? 

9 ° So do God to Abner, and more also, except p as 
the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him ; 

10 To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, 
and to set up the throne of David over Israel, and 
over Judah, q from Dan even to Beer-sheba. 

1 1 And he could not answer Abner a word again, 
because he feared him. 

12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his be- 
half, saying, r Whose is the land ? saying also, Make 
thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be 
with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee. 

1 3 And he said, Well ; I will make a league with 
thee : but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou 
shalt not s see my face, except thou first bring 4 Mi •• 
dial, Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my 
face. 

14 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, 
Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which 
I espoused to me for a hundred u foreskins of the 
Philistines. 

15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her 
husband, even from x Phaltiel the son of Laish. 

1 6 And her husband went with her along t weep- 
ing behind her to y Bahurim. Then said Abner unto 
him, Go, return. And he returned. 

17 IT And Abner had communication with the 
elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times 
past to be king over you : 

1 8 Now then do it : for z the Lord hath spoken of 
David, saying, a By the hand of my servant David I 
will save my people Israel out of the hand of the 
Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies. 

19 And Abner also spake in the ears of b Benja- 
min : and Abner went also to speak in the ears of 
David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and 
that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin. 

20 So Abner c came to David to Hebron, and 
twenty men with him : and David made Abner, and 
the men that were with him, a feast. 

21 And Abner said unto David, I will arise and 
go, and will gather d all Israel unto my lord the king, 
that they may make a league with thee, and that thou 
mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And 
David sent Abner away ; and he went in peace. 

22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab 
came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great 
spoil with them : (but Abner was not with David in 
Hebron ; for he had sent him away, and he was gone 
in peace.) 

23 When Joab and all the host that was with him 
were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of 
Nor came to the king, and he hath sent him away, 
and he is gone in peace : 

24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What 
hast thou done ? behold, Abner came unto thee ; why 
is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is t quite 
gone ? 

25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he 
came e to deceive thee, and to know thy r going out, 
and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest. 

26 And when Joab was come out from David, E he 
sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again 
from the well of Si rah : but David knew it not. 

27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab 
took him '' aside in the gate to speak with him t quietly, 

2 D 



and smote him there under the ' fifth rib, that he died, 
for the blood of Asahel his brother. 

28 And afterward, when David heard it, he said, 
I and my kingdom are k guiltless before the Lord for 
ever from the t blood of Abner the son of Ner. 

29 ' Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his 
father's house ; and let there not fail from the house 
of Joab one that hath m an issue, or that is a leper, or 
that leaneth on || a staff, or that falleth on the sword, 
or that lacketh bread. 

30 So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, 
because he had n slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon 
in the battle. 

31 And David said °to Joab, and to all the people 
that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you 
with sackcloth, and mourn p before Abner. And king 
David himself followed the bier. 

32 And they buried Abner in Hebron : and the 
king lifted up his voice, and q wept at the grave of 
Abner; and all the people wept. 

33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, 
Died Abner as a fool dieth ? 

34 Thy hands ivere not bound, nor thy feet put into 
fetters : as a man falleth before t wicked men, so fellest 
thou. And all the people wept again over him. 

35 And when all the people came to cause David 
r to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, say- 
ing, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, 
or aught else, till 3 the sun be down. 

36 And all the people took notice of it, and it 
pleased them : as whatsoever the king did pleased all 
the people. ^ 

37 P or all the people, and all Israel understood 
that day, that it was not of the king to slay Abner the 
son of Ner. 

38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye 
not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this 
day in Israel ? 

39 And I am this day weak, though anointed king ; 
and these men the sons of Zeruiah be l too hard for 
me : the Lord shall u reward the doer of evil according 
to his wickedness. 

CHAP. IV. 

Baanah and Rechab slay Ish-bosheth. 
ND when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead 
in Hebron, his hands were a feeble, and all the 
Israelites were troubled. 

2 And Saul's son had two men that were captains 
b of bands ; the name of the one was Baanah, and the 
name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a 
Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for c Beeroth 
also was reckoned to Benjamin : 

3 And the Beerothites fled to d Gittaim, and were 
sojourners there until this day.) 

4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that teas 
t lame of his feet, and was five years old when the 
tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of e Jezrcol, 
and his nurse took him up, and fled : and it came to 
pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became 
lame. And his name was Mephibosheth. 

5 And the sons of Rimmon, the Beerothite, Rechab 
and Baanah, f went, and came about the heat of the 
day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at 
noon : 

6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, 
as though they would have g fetched wheat ; and they 
smote liim under the fifth h rib : and Rechab and 
Baanah his brother escaped.

7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his 
bed in his bed-chamber ; and they smote him, and 
slew him, and beheaded him, and ' took his head, and 
gat them away through the plain all night. 

8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto 
David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the 
head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul thine enemy, 
which sought thy t life ; and the Lord hath avenged 
my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed. 

9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his 
brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said 
unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath k redeemed 
my soul out of all adversity, 

10 When l one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is 
dead, (thinking to have brought good tidings,) I took 
hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that 
I would have given him a reward for his tidings : 

1 1 How much more, when wicked men have slain 
a righteous person in his own house upon his bed 1 
shall I not therefore now m require his blood of your 
hand, and take you away from the earth ? 

12 And David commanded his young men, and 
they n slew them, and cut off their hands and their 
feet, ° and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. 
But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it 
in the p sepulchre of Abner in Hebron. 

CHAP. V. 

The tribes come to Hebron to anoint David over Israel. 

1HEN came a all the tribes of Israel to David 
unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are 
b thy bone and thy flesh. 

2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, 
thou wast he that c leddest out and broughtest in Is- 
rael : and d the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt e feed 
my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over 
Israel. 

3 So all the f elders of Israel came to the king to 
Hebron ; and king David made a league with them 
in g Hebron before the Lord : and they h anointed 
David king over Israel. 

4 David was ' thirty years old when he began to 
reign, and he reigned forty years. 

5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah k seven years 
and six months ; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty 
and three years over all Israel and Judah. 

6 And the king and his men went to ' Jerusalem 
unto the m Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land ; 
which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take 
away n the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in 
hither : thinking, David cannot come in hither. 

7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion : 
the same is the ° city of David. 

8 And David said on that day, Whosoever p getteth 
up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the 
lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he 
shall be q chief and captain : wherefore they said, The 
blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 

9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it The city 
of David : and David built round about, from r Millo 
and inward. 

10 And David went on, and grew great; and the 
Lord God of hosts was s with him. 

1 1 And l Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to 
David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons ; 
and they built David a house. 

12 And David perceived that the Lord had esta- 
blished him king over Israel, and that he had exalted 
his kingdom u for his people Israel's sake. 



1 3 And David took him x more concubines and 
wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from He- 
bron : and there were yet sons and daughters born to 
David. 

1 4 And these be the names of those that were born 
unto him in Jerusalem ; Shammuah, and Shobab, and 
Nathan, and Solomon, 

15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and 
Japhia, 

16 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet. 

17 IT But when the Philistines y heard that they had 
anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines 
came up z to seek David ; and David heard of it, and 
a went down to the hold. 

1 8 The Philistines also came, and spread them- 
selves in the valley of b Rephaim. 

19 And David c inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall 
I go up to the Philistines ? wilt thou deliver them into 
mine hand ? And the Lord said unto David, Go up ; 
for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine 
hand. 

20 And David came to d Baal-perazim, and David 
smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken 
forth upon mine enemies before me, e as the breach of 
waters. Therefore he called the name of that place 
Baal-perazim. 

. 21 And there they left their images, and David and 
his men f burnt them. 

22 IT And the Philistines came up yet g again, and 
spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 

23 And when David inquired of the Lord, he said, 
Thou shalt not go up ; but fetch a compass behind 
them, and come upon them over against the mulberry- 
trees. 

24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of 
h a going in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then 
thou shalt bestir thyself : for then shall the Lord go 
out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. 

25 And David did so, as the Lord had commanded 
him ; and smote the Philistines from ' Geba until thou 
come to k Gazer. 

CHAP. VI. 

David fetcheth the ark from Kirjath-jearim on a new cart. 
GAIN, David a gathered together all the chosen 
men of Israel, h thirty thousand. 

2 And David arose, and went with all the people 
that were with him from c Baale of Judah, to bring up 
from thence the ark of God, d whose name is called 
by the name of The Lord of hosts, that e dwelleth 
between the cherubims. 

3 And they set the ark of God upon f a new cart, 
and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was 
in g Gibeah : and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abina- 
dab, drave the new cart. 

4 And they brought it out of the h house of Abina- 
dab, which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of 
God : and Ahio went before the ark. 

5 And David and all the house of Israel, ' played 
k before the Lord on all manner of instruments made 
of fir-wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on 
timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals. 

6 And when they came to ' Nachon's threshing- 
floor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and 
took hold of it ; for the oxen shook it. 

7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled m against 
Uzzah, and God smote him there for his n error ; and 
there he died by the ark of God. 

8 And David was ° displeased, because the Lord

had made a breach upon Uzzah : and he called the 
name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day. 

9 And David was p afraid of the Lord that day, 
and said, q How shall the ark of the Lord come to 
me? 

1 So David would not remove the ark of the Lord 
unto him into the city of David ; but David carried 
it aside into the house of r Obed-edom the s Gittite. 

1 1 And the ark of the Lord continued in the house 
of Obed-edom the Gittite three months : and the Lord 
1 blessed Obed-edom, and all his household. 

1 2 And it was told king David, saying, u The Lord 
hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that 
pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So 
David went and brought up the ark of God from the 
house of Obed-edom into the city of David with 
gladness. 

1 3 And it was so, that when they that x bare the 
ark of the Lord had gone six paces, y he sacrificed 
oxen and fatlings. 

14 And David danced before the Lord with all his 
might : and David was girded with a linen z ephod. 

1 5 So David and a all the house of Israel brought 
up the ark of the Lord with b shouting, and with the 
sound of the trumpet. 

1 6 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city 
of David, c Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through 
a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing 
before the Lord ; and she d despised him in her heart. 

1 7 And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and 
set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that 
David had t pitched for it : and David offered burnt- 
offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord. 

1 8 And as soon as David had made an end of offer- 
ing burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, he e blessed 
the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 

19 And he dealt among all the people, even among 
the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women 
as men, to eveiy one a cake of bread, and a good 
piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people 
departed every one to his house. 

20 Then David returned f to bless his household. 
And Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet 
David, and said, 6 How glorious was the king of Is- 
rael to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes 
of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the h vain 
fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 

21 And David said unto Michal, It teas '' before the 
Lord, which chose me before thy father, and k before 
all his house, to ' appoint me ruler over the people of 
the Lord, over Israel : therefore will I play before the 
Lord. 

22 And I will yet be m more vile than thus, and will 
be base in mine own sight : and of the maid-servants, 
which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in 
honour. 

23 Therefore Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no 
child n unto the day of her death. 

CHAP. VII. 

David's prayer and thanksgiving. 

AND it came to pass, when the king a sat in his 
house, and the Lord had b given him rest round 
about from all his enemies, 

2 That, the lung said unto Nathan the prophet, Sec 
now, I dwell in a c house of cedar, but the ark of 
God dwelleth within d curtains. 

3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, e do all that is 
in thine heart : for the Lord is with thee. 



VII. Blessings promised to David. 

4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of Before 
the Lord came unto Nathan, saying, 

5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the 
Lord, f Shalt thou build me a house forme to dwell in? 4 } Chr ' 17 ' 

6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the iKings.3,5. 
time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Isa ' 34 ' 6- 
Egypt even to this day, but have s walked in a tent s i chr. 17, 
and in a tabernacle. ' * 

7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all 
the children of Israel, spake I a word with any of the 

tribes of Israel, whom I commanded h to feed my peo- h ch. 5, 2. 
pie Israel, saying, Why build ye not me a house of 
cedar ? 

8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant 
David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, ' I took thee i 1 Sam. w, 
from the sheep-cote, from following the sheep, to be p 3 ; 78 70 « 
ruler over my people, over Israel : 

9 And I was k with thee whithersoever thou wentest, kch. 8,6.14.

and have made thee ' a great name, like unto the name 1 ch. 5, 10.

17 According to c all these words, and according to mTH'zo 
all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 

1 8 Then went king David in, and sat before the 
Lord ; and he said, d Who am I, O Lord God ? and 
what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto ? 

19 And e this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Paaim 0, 3. 
Lord God ; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's e ver ' 8| 9 '

20 And what can David say more unto thee ? for Eph. 3, 10. 
thou, Lord E God, knowest thy servant. Pro" 14,20! 

21 For thy h word's sake, and ' according to thine giSam.'i6,

24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy ° people 
Israel, to be a people unto thee for ever : and thou, 
Lord, art become p their God. 

25 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast 
spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his

26 And let thy r name be magnified for ever, say- 
ing, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel : and

27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast

to pray this prayer unto thee. 

28 And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and

with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed

CHAP. VIII. 

David subdueth the Philistines and the Moabites. 

AND after this it came to pass, that David a smote 
the Philistines, and subdued them : and David 
b took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philis- 
tines. 

2 And he smote Moab, and c measured them with 
a line, casting them down to the ground ; even with 
d two lines measured he to put to death, and with one 
full line to keep alive : and so the Moabites became 
David's servants, and brought gifts. 

3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, 
king of e Zobah, as he f went to recover his border at 
the river Euphrates. 

4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, 
and g seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand 
footmen : and David h houghed all the chariot horses, 
but reserved of them for a hundred chariots. 

5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to suc- 
cour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the 
Syrians l two and twenty thousand men. 

6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus : 
and the Syrians became k servants to David, and 
brought 'gifts. And the Lord preserved David whither- 
soever he went. 

7 And David took the shields of gold that were on 
the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Je- 
rusalem. 

8 And from m Betah, and from Berothai, cities of 
Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass. 

9 IT When Toi king of n Harnath heard that David 
had smitten all the host of Hadadezer. 

10 Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, 
to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought 
against Hadadezer, and smitten him : (for Hadadezer 
t had wars with Toi :) and Joram brought with him ves- 
sels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass ; 

1 1 Which also king David did dedicate unto the 
Lord, with the silver and gold that he had ° dedicated 
of all nations which he subdued ; 

1 2 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of 
Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and 
of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of 
Zobah. 



13 And David gat him p a name when he returned 
from smiting of the Syrians in the q valley of Salt, 
being T eighteen thousand men. 

1 4 And he put garrisons in Edom ; throughout all 
Edom put he garrisons : and all they of Edom became 
David's s servants. And the Lord t preserved David 
whithersoever he went. 

1 5 And David reigned over all Israel ; and David 
executed judgment and justice unto all his people. 

16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was u over the host ; 
and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder ; 

1 7 And x Zadok the son of y Ahitub, and Ahime- 
lech the son of Abiathar, were the z priests ; and 
Seraiah was the scribe ; 

1 8 And a Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both 
the b Cherethites and the Pelethites ; and David's sons 
were c chief rulers. 

CHAP. IX. 

David by Ziba sendeth for Mephibosheth. 
ND David said, Is there yet any that is left of 
the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness 
a for Jonathan's sake ? 

2 And t there was of the house of Saul a servant 
whose name was Ziba : and when they had called 
him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou 
Ziba ? And he said, Thy servant is he. 

3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the 
house of Saul, that I may shew the b kindness of God 
unto him ? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan 
hath yet a son, which is c lame on his feet. 

4 And the king said unto him, Where is he ? And 
Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of 
Machir the son of Ammiel, in d Lo-debar. 

5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of 
the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo- 
debar. 

6 Now when || Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, 
the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his 
face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibo- 
sheth ! And he answered, Behold thy servant. 

7 And David said unto him, e Fear not : for I will 
surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy f father's 
sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy 
father ; and thou shalt eat g bread at my table con- 
tinually. 

8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy 
servant, that thou shouldest look upon such h a dead 
dog as I am ? 

9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and 
said unto him, I have given unto thy ' master's son 
all that pertained to Saul, and to all his house. 

10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, 
shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the 
fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat : 
but Mephibosheth, thy master's son, shall eat bread 
always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons, and 
twenty servants. 

1 1 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all 
that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, 
k so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said 
the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's 
sons. 

12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose 
name was l Micah. And t all that dwelt in the house 
of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth. 

1 3 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem : for he 
did eat continually at the king's table ; and was lame 
on both his feet.

AND it came to pass after this, that the a king of 
the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son 
reigned in his stead. 

2 Then said David, I will b shew kindness unto 
Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kind- 
ness unto me. And David sent to comfort him, by 
the hand of his servants, for his father. And David's 
servants came into the land of the children of Ammon. 

3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said 
unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth 
honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto 
thee ? c hath not David rather sent his servants unto 
thee to search the city, and to spy it out, and to over- 
throw it ? 

4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and 
shaved off the one half of their d beards, and cut off" 
their garments in the middle, even to their e buttocks 
and sent them away. 

5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet 
them, because the men were greatly ashamed : and 
the king said, Tarry at f Jericho until your beards be 
grown, and then return. 

6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they 
g stank before David, the children of Ammon sent 
and h hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and ' the Sy- 
rians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king 
Maacah a thousand men, and of k Ish-tob twelve 
thousand men. 

7 And when David heard of it., he sent Joab, and 
all the host of ' the mighty men. 

8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put 
the battle in array at the entering in of the m gate : 
and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, 
and Maacah, were by themselves in the field. 

9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was 
against him before and behind, he chose of ail the 
choice men of Israel, and put them t in array against 
the Syrians : 

10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the 
hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in 
array against the children of Ammon. 

1 1 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for 
me, then thou shalt t help me ; but if the children of 
Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and 
help thee. 

12 n Be of good courage, and let us play the men 
for our people, and for the ° cities of our God : and 
the Lord do that which seemeth him good. 

1 3 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were 
with him, unto the battle against the Syrians : and 
they fled before him. 

14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the 
Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, 
and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the 
children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. 

15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smit- 
ten before Israel, they gathered themselves together. 

16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Sy- 
rians that were beyond the river : and they came to 
Helam ; and p Shobach, the captain of the host of 
Hadarezer, went before them. 

1 7 And when it v/as told David, he gathered all 
Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to 
Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array 
against David, and fought with him.

CHAP. XI. 

While Joab besiegeth Babbah, David commitleth adultery 
with Bath-sheba. 
ND it came to pass, t after the year was expired, 
a at the time when kings go forth to battle, that 
David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all 
Israel ; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, 
and besieged Rabbah. But David b tarried still at 
Jerusalem. 

2 And it came to pass in an evening-tide, that Da- 
vid arose from off his c bed, and walked upon the roof 
of the king's house : and from the d roof he e saw a 
woman f washing herself; and the woman was very 
beautiful to look upon. 

3 And David s sent and inquired after the woman. 
And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of 
Eliam, the wife of Uriah the h Hittite ? 

4 And David ' sent messengers, and took her : and 
she came in unto him, and he k lay with her, (for she 
was purified from her uncleanness,) and she returned 
unto her house. 

5 And the woman conceived, and sent and ! told 
David, and said, I am with child. 

6 And David sent to Joab, saying, m Send me Uriah 
the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. 

7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David de- 
manded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, 
and how the war prospered. 

8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, 
and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the 
king's house, and there followed him n a mess of meat 
from the king. 

9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house, 
with all the servants of his lord, and went not down 
to his house. 

10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah 
went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, 
Camest thou not from thy journey ? why then didst 
thou not go down unto thine house ? 

1 1 And Uriah said unto David, The ° ark, and 
Israel, and Judah, abide in tents ; and p my lord Joab, 
and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open 
fields : shall I then go into mine house, to eat, and to 
drink, and to lie with my wife ? as thou livest, and as 
thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing. 

12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to-day 
also, and to-morrow ] will let thee depart. So Uriah 
abode in Jerusalem that clay and the morrow. 

13 And when David had called him, he did eat 
and drink before him ; and he made him drunk : and 
at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants 
of his lord, but went not down to his house. 

14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David 
q wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of 
Uriah. 

15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, t Set ye 
Uriah in the fore-front of the hottest battle, and retire 
ye from him, that he may be smitten, and Hie. 

16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the

city, that he r assigned Uriah unto a place where he 
knew that valiant men were. 

1 7 And the men of the city went out and fought 
with Joab : and there fell some of the people of the 
servants of David ; and Uriah the Hittite died also. 

18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things 
concerning the war ; 

19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou 
hast made an end of telling the matters of the war 
unto the king, 

20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he 
say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto 
the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they 
would shoot from the wall ? 

21 Who smote "Abimelech the son of * Jerubbe- 
sheth ? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone 
upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez ? why 
went ye nigh the wall ? then say thou, Thy servant 
Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 

22 So the messenger went, and came and shewed 
David all that Joab had sent him for. 

23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the 
men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into 
the field, and we were upon them even unto the 
entering of the gate. 

24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy 
servants, and some of the king's servants be dead, and 
thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 

25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus 
shaltthou say unto Joab, Let not this thing t displease 
thee ; for the sword devoureth t one as well as another : 
make thy battle more strong against the city, and 
u overthrow it ; and encourage thou him. 

26 IT And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah 
her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. 

27 And when the mourning was past, David sent 
and t fetched her to his house, and she became his 
wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David 
had done displeased the Lord. 

CHAP. XII. 

Nathan's parable of the ewe lamb, causeth David to be his 
0W7i judge. 

ND the Lord sent a Nathan unto David. And 
he came unto him, and said unto hirn, b There 
were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other 
poor. 

2 The rich man had exceeding c many flocks and 
herds : 

3 But the poor man had nothing save one little ewe 
lamb, which he had bought and nourished up ; and 
it grew up together with him, and with his children : 
it did eat of his own t meat, and drank of his own 
cup, and lay in his d bosom, and was unto him as a 
daughter. 

4 And there came a e traveller unto the rich man ; 
and he spared to take of his own flock, and of his 
own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was 
come unto him ; but took the poor man's lamb, and 
dressed it for the man that was come to him. 

5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against 
the man ; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, 
the man that hath done this thing t shall surely die : 

6 And he shall restore the lamb f fourfold, because 
he did this thing, and because ho had no pity. 

7 And Nathan said to David, " Thou art the man. 
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, h I anointed thee 
king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand 
of Saul :

house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too 
little, I would, moreover, have given unto thee such 
1 and such things. 

9 Wherefore m hast thou despised the command- 
ment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight ? Thou hast 
killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken 
his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the 
sword of the children of Ammon. 

10 Now therefore, the " sword shall never depart n Rev. 13, 
from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and 10 - 
hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 

11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, ° I will raise up o Amos 7,9,

1 2 For thou didst it secretly : but I will do this 
thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David,

And they said, He is dead.

quired, they set bread before him, and he did eat. 

21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is 
this that thou hast done ? thou didst fast and weep for 
the child while it icas alive ; but when the child was 
dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 

22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I 
fasted and wept : for I said, Who can tell whether 
God will be gracious to me, that the child may live ? 

23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast ? can 
I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he 
shall not return to me.

26 IT And Joab d fought against Rabbah of the 
children of Amnion, and took the royal city. 

27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, 
I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the 
e city of waters. 

28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people to- 
gether, and encamp against the city, and take it : lest 
I take the city, and it be called after my name. 

29 And David gathered all the people together, and 
went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. 

30 And he took their king's crown from off his head, 
(the weight whereof wqs f a talent of gold with the 
precious stones,) and it was set on David's head : and 
he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abun- 
dance. 

31 And he brought forth g the people that were 
therein, and put them under saws, and under h harrows 
of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass 
|| through the brick-kiln : and thus did he unto all the 
cities of the children of Amnion. So David and all 
the people returned unto Jerusalem. 

CHAP. XIII. 

Amnon feigning himself sick, ravisheth Tamar. 

AND it came to pass after this, that a Absalom, the 
son of David, had a fair sister, whose name was 
Tamar ; and Amnon the son of David b loved her. 

2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell c sick for 
his sister Tamar ; for she was a virgin : and Amnon 
thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. 

3 But Amnon had d a friend, whose name was 
Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother : and 
Jonadab was a e very subtile man. 

4 And he said unto him, Why art thou,- being the 
king's son, lean from clay to day 1 wilt thou not tell 
me 1 And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my 
brother Absalom's sister. 

5 And Jonadab said unto him, r Lay thee down on 
thy bed, and make thyself sick : and when thy father 
cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my 
sister Tamar come and give me meat, and dress the 
meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her 
hand. 

6 So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick : 
and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said 
unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, 
and make me a couple of s cakes in my sight, that I 
may eat at her hand. 

7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go 
now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him 
meat. 

8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house ; 
and he was b laid down. And she took flour, and 
kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake 
the cakes. 

9 And she took a pan, and poured them out before 
him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, ' Have 
out all men from me : and they went out every man 
from him. 

10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat 
into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And 
Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and 
brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. 

1 1 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, 
k he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come, lie 
with me, my sister. 

12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do 
not force me ; for ' no such thing ought to be done in 
m Israel : do not thou this ° folly. 



1 3 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go ? 
and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the ° fools in 
Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the 
king ; for p he will not withhold me from thee. 

14 Howbeit, he would not q hearken unto her voice -, 
but, being stronger than she, r forced her, and lay with 
her. 

15 Then Amnon hated her t exceedingly ; so that 
the hatred wherewith he hated her was s greater than 
the love wherewith he had loved her : and Amnon 
said unto her, Arise, be gone. 

16 And she said unto him, There is no cause : this 
evil in sending me away 'is greater than the other that 
thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto 
her. 

1 7 Then he called his servant that ministered unto 
him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and 
bolt the door after her. 

1 8 And she had a garment * of divers colours upon 
her : for with such robes were the king's daughters 
that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought 
her out, and bolted the door after her. 

1 9 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her 
garment of divers colours that was on her, and u laid 
her hand on her head, and went on crying. 

20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath 
t Amnon thy brother been with thee ? but x hold now 
thy peace, my sister : he is thy brother ; regard not 
this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her 
brother Absalom's house. 

21 But when king David heard of all these things, 
y he was very wroth. 

22 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon 
neither z good nor bad : for Absalom hated Amnon, 
because he had forced his sister Tamar. 

23 And it came to pass, a after two full years, that 
Absalom had sheep-shearers in b Baal-hazor, which 
is beside Ephraim : and Absalom invited all the king's 
sons. 

24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Be- 
hold now, thy servant hath c sheep-shearers ; d let the 
king, I beseech thee, and Iris servants, go with thy 
servant. 

25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, 
let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. 
And he pressed him : howbeit he would not go, but 
blessed him. 

26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let e my 
brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto 
him, Why should he go with thee ? 

27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon 
| and all the king's sons go with him. 

28 Now Absalom had f commanded his servants, 
saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry 
with wine ; and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon ; 
then kill him, fear not : have not I commanded you ? 
be courageous, and be t valiant. 

29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon 
as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's 
sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule 
and fled. 

30 And it came to pass, while they were in the 
way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom 
hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of 
them left. 

31 Then the king arose, and Mare his garments, 
and h lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by 
with their clothes rent.

Absalom fiieth to Geshur* 

32 And ! Jonadab the son of Shirneah, David's bro- 
ther, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that 
they have skin all the young men the king's sons ; for 
Amnon only is dead : for by the appointment of Ab- 
salom this hath been k determined from the day that 
he forced his sister Tamar. 

33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the 
thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are 
dead ; for Amnon only is dead. 

34 But Absalom 'lied. And the young man that 
kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and, be- 
hold, there came much people by the way of the hill 
side behind him. 

35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the 
king's sons come : as thy servant said, so it is. 

36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an

38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was

39 And the soul q/"king David || longed " to go forth 
unto Absalom '. for he ° was comforted concerning 
Amnon, seeing he was dead. 

CHAP. XIV. 

Absalom by Joab is brought into the king's presence. 

NOW Joab the son of a Zeruiah perceived that the 
b king's heart was toward Absalom. 

2 And Joab sent to c Tekoah, and fetched thence 
d a wise woman, and said unto her, J pray thee, feign 
thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning 
apparel, and e anoint not thyself with oil, but be as 
a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead ; 

3 And come to the king, and speak on this manner 
unto him. So f Joab put the words in her mouth. 

4 And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the 
king, she g fell on her face to the ground, and h did 
obeisance, and said, Help, O king. 

5 And the ' king said unto her, What aileth thee ? 
And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and 
my husband is dead. 

6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two 
strove together in the field, and there was k none to part 
them, but the one smote the other, and slew him. 

7 And, behold, l the whole family is risen against 
thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote 
his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his 
brother whom he slew ; and we will destroy the heir 
also : and so they shall m quench my coal which is left, 
and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor 
remainder upon the earth. 

8 And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine 
house, and I will give charge n concerning thee. 

9 And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, 
My lord, O king, °the iniquity be on me, and on my 
father's house ; and the p king and his throne be guiltless. 

1 And the king said, Whosoever saith aught unto 
^iKm g s2, t h ee) bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee 

any more. 

1 1 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king i re- 
member the Lord thy God, that thou wouldcst not 
suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest 
they destroy my son. And he said, As the Lord liv- 
eth, r there shall not s one hair of thy son fall to the 
earth.

pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And 
he said, Say on. 

13 And the woman said. Wherefore then hast thou 
* thought such a thing u against the people of God ? for 
the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, 
x in that the king doth not fetch home again his 
banished. 

14 For we must y needs die, and are as water spilt y ch. is, 7 
on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again : 8 ' 
|| neither doth God z respect any person ; yet doth he 
a devise means that his banished be not expelled from 
him. 

1 5 Now therefore that I am come to speak of this 
thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people 
have made me afraid : and thy handmaid said, I will 
now speak unto the king ; it may be that the king will 
perform the request of his handmaid. 

1 6 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid 
out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and 
my son together out of the inheritance of God. 

17 Then thine handmaid said, The word of my 
lord the king shall now be comfortable : b for as an 
angel of God, so is my lord the king, c to discern good 
and bad ; therefore the Lord thy God will be with thee. 

18 Then the king answered and said unto the 
woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that 
I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord 
the king now speak. 

1 9 And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with 
thee in all this ? And the woman answered and said, 
As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to 
the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord 
the king hath spoken : for thy servant Joab, he bade 
me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine 
handmaid : 

20 To fetch about this form of speech hath thy ser- 
vant Joab done this thing : and my lord is wise, ac- 
cording to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know 
all things that are in the earth. 

21 And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, 1 
have done this thing : go therefore, bring the young 
man Absalom again. 

22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and 
bowed himself, and t thanked the king : and Joab said, 
To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace 
in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath 
fulfilled the request of his servant. 

23 So Joab arose, and went to d Geshur, and brought 
Absalom to Jerusalem. 

24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own 
house, and let him not e see my face. So Absalom 
returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face. 

25 But in all Israel f there t was none to be so much 
praised as Absalom for his beauty : g from the sole of 
his foot even to the crown of his head there was no f™>>

26 And when he polled his head, (for it was at h 6 Gen - 20 >

was heavy on him, therefore he polled it,) he weighed Deut 25,13.

when he sent again the second time, he would not 
come. 

30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's 
field is near mine, and he hath barley there ; go and 

I set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field 
on fire. 

31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto 
his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy 
servants set my field on fire ? 

32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent 
unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee 
to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from 
Geshur ? it had been good for me to have been there still : 
now therefore let me see the king's face ; and m if there 
be any iniquity in me, let him kill me. 

33 So Joab came to the king, and told him : and 
when lie had called for Absalom, he came to the king, 
and bowed himself on his face to the ground before 
the king : and the king n kissed Absalom. 

CHAP. XV. 

Absalom, by fair speeches and courtesies, stealeth the hearts 
of Israel. 

AND it came to pass after this, that Absalom 
a prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men 
to run before him. 

2 And Absalom b rose up early, and stood beside 
the way of the gate : and it was so, that when any 
man that had a controversy came to the king for judg- 
ment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of 
what city art thou ? And he said, Thy servant is of 
one of the tribes of Israel. 

3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters 
are c good and right ; but there is no man deputed of 
the king to hear thee. 

4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were d made 
judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit 
or cause might come unto me, and e I would do him 
justice ! 

5 And it was so, that when any man came nigh to 
him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and 
took him, and kissed him. 

6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that 
came to the king for judgment. So Absalom f stole 
the hearts of the men of Israel. 

7 And it came to pass g after forty years, that Ab- 
salom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and 

II pay my vow which I have vowed unto the Lord in 
Hebron. 

8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at 
' Geshur in Syria, saying, If the Lord shall bring me 
again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will k serve the 
Lord. 

9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So 
he arose, and went to Hebron. 

10 But Absalom ' sent spies throughout all the. tribes 
of Tsrael, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the 
trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom m reigneth in 
Hebron. 

1 1 And with Absalom went two hundred men out 
of Jerusalem, that were " called ; and they went in 
their " simplicity, and they knew not any thing. 

12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, 
p David's counsellor, from his city, even from q Giloh, 
while he offered sacrifices. And the r conspiracy was 
strong ; for the people B increased continually with 
Absalom.

14 And David said unto all his servants that were 
with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us u flee . for 
we shall not else escape from Absalom : make spe;ed 
to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil 
upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 

15 And the x king's servants said unto the king, 
Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my 
lord the king shall appoint. 

16 And the king went forth, and all his household 
after him : and the king left y ten women, which were > cha i'-. £-• 
concubines, to keep the house. 

17 And the king went forth, and all the people 
after him, and tarried in a place that, was far off. 

18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and 

all the z Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all * ch. a, \&. 
the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him 
from Gath, passed on before the king. 

19 Then said the kingtolttai the a Gittite, Where- a chap. 8,1. 
fore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and & n ' "' 
abide with the king ; for thou art a stranger, and also 

an exile. 

20 Whereas thou earnest but yesterday, should I 
this day make thee go up and down with us ? Seeing 
I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy 
brethren : b mercy and truth be with thee. 

21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the 
Lord liveth, and as my lord the king livelh, surely 
c in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in 
death or life, even there also will thy servant be. 

22 And David said to lttai, Go, and pass over. 
And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and 
all the little ones that were with him. 

23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and 
all the people passed over : the king also himself pass- 
ed over the brook d Kidron, and all the people passed dJohnia, 1 
over toward the way of the e wilderness. c ch. 16, 2 

24 And, lo, Zadok also, and all the Levites were l^'Yifw 
with him, f bearing the ark of the covenant of God : f Num. 4,4. 
and they set down the ark of God ; and Abiathar went ^''; 2 ^ 3 3 6 
up, g until all the people had done passing out of the gJir. 3', 17. 
city. 

25 And the king said unto Zadok, '' Carry back h 1 Sam. 4 
the ark of God into the city : if I shall find favour in 4 ;. 

the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me again, and 
shew me both it and his ' habitation. 

26 But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee ; 
behold, here am I, let him do to me as scemeth good 
t unto him. 

27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art '^^ „ 
not thou k a seer? return into the city in peace, and p a . 39, 9. 
your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jona- A^g 2 - 1, ',', 
than the son of Abiathar. 9 

28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, 
until there come word from you to certify me. 

29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar ' carried the ark 
of God again to Jerusalem ; and they tarried there. 

30 And David went up by the ascent of mount 
Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head 
m covered ; and he went n barefoot : and all (he peo- 
ple that was with him covered every man his head, 
and they went up, weeping as they went up. 

31 And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among 
the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O 
Lord, I pray thee, "turn the counsel of Ahithophel 
into foolishness. 

32 And it came to pass, that when David was come

to the p top of the mount, where he q worshipped God. 
behold, Hushai the r Archite came to meet him, with 
his coat rent, and earth upon his head : 

33 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with 
me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me : 

34 But if thou s return to the city, and say unto 
Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have 
been thy father's servant t hitherto, so will I now also 
be thy servant : then mayest thou for me defeat the 
counsel of Ahithophel. 

35 And hast l thou not there with thee Zadok and 
Abiathar the priests ? therefore it shall be, that what 
thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, 
thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 

36 Behold, they have " there with them their two 
sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's 
son ; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing 
that ye can hear. 

37 So Hushai, David's x friend, came into the city, 
and Absalom came into Jerusalem. 

CHAP. XVI. 

5 Shimei curseth David. 9 David 'with patience abstaineth 
from revenge. 
NT) when David was a little past the a top of the 
hill, behold, b Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth 
met him, with a c couple of asses saddled, and upon 
them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred 
bunches of raisins, and a hundred of summer fruits, 
and a bottle of wine. 

2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest 
thou by these ? And Ziba said, The asses be for the 
king's household to d ride on ; and the bread and sum- 
mer fruit for the young men to eat ; and the wine, 
that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink. 

3 And the king said, And where is thy master's 
son 1 And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth 
at Jerusalem : for e he said, To-day shall the house of 
Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. 

4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, f thine are 
all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba 
said, t I humbly beseech thee that 1 may find grace 
in thy sight, my lord, O king. 

5 IT And when king David came to s Bahurim, be- 
hold, thence came out a man of the family of the 
house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of 
Gera : h he came forth, and cursed still as he came. 

6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the ser- 
vants of king David : and all the people and all the 
mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. 

7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, 
come out, t thou bloody man, and thou man of x Belial : 

8 The Lord hath k returned upon thee all the blood 
of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reign- 
ed : and the Lord hath delivered the kingdom into 
the hand of Absalom thy son : and, behold, thou art 
taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man. 

9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the 
king, Why should this ' dead dog curse my lord the 
king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head. 

10 And the king said, What have 1 to do with you, 
ye sons of Zeruiah ? So let him curse, because the 
Lord hath said unto him, m Curse David. n Who 
shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so ? 

1 1 And David said to Abishai, and to all his ser- 
vants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my 
bowels, seeketh my t life : how much more now may 
this Benjamite do it ? Let him alone, and let him 
cuwe : for the Lord hath bidden him. 



1 2 It may be that the Lord will look on mine 
1 1| affliction, and that the Lord will ° requite me good 
for his cursing this day. 

1 3 And as David and his men went by the way, 
Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, 
and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and 
t cast dust. 

14 And the king, and all the people that tcere with 
him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there. 

15 IF And Absalom, and all the people, the men of 
Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. 

16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, 
David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai 
said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the 
king. 

17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kind- 
ness to thy p friend ? why wentest thou not with thy 
friend ? 

18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but 
q whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of 
Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide. 

1 9 And again, whom should I serve ? should I not 
set ve in the presence of his son ? As I have served in 
thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence. 

20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, r Give coun- 
sel among you what we shall do. 

21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, 8 Go in 
unto thy father's concubines, which he hath * left to 
keep the house ; and all Israel shall hear that thou art 
abhorred of thy father : then shall the hands of all 
that are with thee be strong. 

22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the " top 
of the house ; and Absalom went in unto his father's 
concubines in the x sight of all Israel. 

23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he coun- 
selled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at 
the t oracle of God : so icas all the counsel of Ahitho- 
phel, both with David and with Absalom. 

CHAP. XVII. 

AhithopheVs counsel is overthrown by HushaVs. 
OREQVER, Ahithophel said unto Absalom, 
Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, 
and I will arise and pursue after David a this night: 

2 And I will come upon him while he is b weary 
and weak-handed, and will make him afraid : and all 
the people that are with him shall flee ; and I will 
smite the king only. 

3 And I will bring back all the people unto thee : 
the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned : so 
all the people shall be c in peace. 

4 And the saying d pleased Absalom well, and all 
the elders of Israel. 

5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Ar- 
chite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith. 

6 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absa- 
lom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken 
after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if 
not, speak thou. 

7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel 
that Ahithophel hath given is e not good f at this time. 

8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and 
his men, that they be mighty men, and they be t chafed 
in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the 
field : and thy father is a man of war, and will not 
lodge with the people. 

9 Behold, he is hid now in some E pit, or in some 
other place : and it will come to pass, when some t of 
them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever hear-

eth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people 
that follow Absalom. 

10 And he also that is t valiant, whose heart is as 
the heart of a lion, shall utterly h melt : for all Israel 
knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they 
which be with him are valiant men. 

1 1 Therefore I counsel, that all Israel be generally 
gathered unto thee, ' from Dan even to Beer-sheba, 
k as the sand that is by the sea for multitude, and that 
1 thou go to t battle in thine own person. 

12 So shall we come upon him in some place where 
he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the 
dew falleth on the ground : and of him and of all the 
men that are with him there shall not be left so much 
as one. 

13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall 
all Israel bring m ropes to that city, and we will draw 
it into the river, until there be not one small n stone 
found there. 

14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, 
The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the 
counsel of xAhithophel. For the Lord had t appoint- 
ed to defeat the °good counsel of Ahithophel. to the 
intent that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom. 

15 Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar 
the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel 
Absalom and the elders of Israel ; and thus and thus 
have I counselled. 

16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, 
saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wil- 
derness, but speedily tpass over; lest the king be 
swallowed up, and all the people that are with him. 

1 7 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz p stayed by q En- 
rogel, (for they might not be seen to come into the 
city :) and a wench went and told them ; and they 
went and told king David. 

18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absa- 
lom : but they went both of them away quickly, and 
came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had r a 
well in his court, whither they went down. 

19 And the woman took and spread a covering 
over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon ; 
and the thing was not known. 

20 And when Absalom's servants came to the 
woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz 
and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They 
be gone over the brook of water. And when they 
had sought and could not find them, they returned to 
Jerusalem. 

21 And it came to pass, after they were departed, 
that they came up out of the well, and went and told 
king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass 
quickly over the water : for thus hath Ahithophel 
counselled against you. 

22 Then David s arose, and all the people that 
were with him, and they passed over Jordan : by the 
morning light there l lacked not one of them that was 
not gone over Jordan. 

23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was 
not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat 
him home to his house, u to his city, and x put his 
household in order, and y hanged himself, and died, 
and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. 

24 Then David came to z Mahanaim. And Ab- 
salom passed over Jordan, he and a all the men of 
Israel with him. 

25 And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host 
instead of Joab : which Amasa was a man's son whose

and a third part under the hand of c Ittai the Gittite.

thou art t worth ten thousand of us : therefore now f Heb. as

4 And the king said unto them, V hat seemeth you 
best I will do. And the king stood by the f gate side, 
and all the people came out by hundreds and by thou- 
sands. 

5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and 
Ittai, saying, g Deal gently for my sake with the ycung 
man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard 
when the king gave all the captains charge concerning 11 
Absalom. 

6 So the people went out into the field against 
Israel: and the battle was in the h wood of Ephraim ; h Judg. 12 

7 Where the people of Israel were slain before the 
servants of David -, and there was there ' a great ii*. 11,21. 
slaughter that day of twenty thousand men. 

8 For the battle was there scattered over the face 

of all the country: and the wood t devoured more t5^7"^ 
people that day than the sword devoured. V mr, 

9 And Absalom met the servants of David. And 
Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under 
the thick boughs of a great oak, and his k head caught 
hold of the oak, and lie was taken up between the 
heaven and the earth ; and the mule thai was under 
him went away. 

10 And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and 
said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak. 

11 And Joab said unto the man that told him. And, 
behold, thou sawest him; and why didst thou not 
smite him there to the ground ? and 1 would have 
given thee ' ten shekels of silver and a girdle. 

12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should 
receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet 
would I not put forth mine hand against the king's 
son : for in our hearing the king charged thee and 
Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the 
voune: man Absalom.

13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood 
against mine own t life : for there is no matter hid from 
the king, and thou thyself wouldest have m set thyself 
against me. 

14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. 
And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them 
through the n heart of Absalom, while he was ° yet 
alive in the t midst of the oak. 

15 And ten young men that bare Joab's armour 
compassed about, and smote Absalom, and slew him. 

16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people re- 
turned from pursuing after Israel : for Joab held back 
the people. 

17 And they took Absalom, and p cast him into a 
great pit in the wood, and laid a very great q heap of 
stones upon him : and all Israel fled every one to his 
tent. 

18 Now Absalom in his life-time had taken and 
reared up for himself a ""pillar, which is in the king's 
dale : for he said, I have s no son to keep my name in 
remembrance : and he called the pillar after his own 
name : and it is called unto this day, Absalom's Place. 

19 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me 
now run and bear the king tidings, how that the 
Lord hath t avenged him of his enemies. 

20 And Joab said unto him, t Thou shalt not bear 
tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another 
day ; but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because 
the king's son is dead. 

21 Then said Joab to || Cushi, Go tell the king what 
thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, 
and ran. 

22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, yet again 
to Joab, But, howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run 
after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou 
run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready ? 

23 But, howsoever, said he, let me run. And he 
said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way 
of the plain, and overran Cushi. 

24 And David sat between the l two gates : and 
the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto 
the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, 
a man running alone. 

25 And the watchman cried, and told the king. 
And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in 
his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near. 

26 And the watchman saw another man running, 
and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, 
Behold, another man running alone. And the king 
said, He also bringeth tidings. 

27 And the watchman said, t Methinketh the run- 
ning of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the 
son of Zadok. And the king said, He is u a good 
man, and cometh with good tidings. 

28 And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, 
All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his 
face before the king, and said, Blessed be the Lord 
thy God, which hath x delivered up the men that lifted 
up their hand against my lord the king. 

29 And the king said, t Is the young man Absalom 
safe ? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the 
king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great 
tumult, but I knew not what it was. 

30 And 'the king said unto him, Turn aside, and 
stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still. 

31 And, behold, Cushi came ; and Cushi said, Ti- 
dings, my lord the king : for the Lord hath y avenged 
diee this day of all them that rose up against thee. 



32 And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man 
Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies 
of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to 
do thee hurt, be as that young man is. 

33 And the king was much moved, and went up to 
the chamber over the gate, and wept ; and as he

son Absalom ! t would God 1 had died for thee, O 
Absalom, my son, my son ! 

CHAP. XIX. 

Joab causeth the king to cease his mourning, 

AND it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth 
and mourneth for Absalom. 

2 And the t victory that day was turned into 
a mourning unto all the people : for the people heard 
say that day how the king was grieved for his son. 

3 And the people gat them by stealth that day into 
the city, as people being ashamed steal away when 
they flee in battle. 

4 But the king b covered his face, and the king eried 
with a loud voice, O my son Absalom ! O Absalom, 
my son, my son ! 

5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and 
said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy 
servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the 
lives of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the lives 
of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines ; 

6 In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy 
friends : for thou hast declared this day, t that thou 
regardest neither princes nor servants : for this day I 
perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had 
died this day, then c it had pleased thee well. 

7 Now therefore, arise, go forth, and speak t com- 
fortably unto thy servants : for I swear by the Lord, 
if thou go not forth, there will not tarry d one with thee 
this night : and that will be worse unto thee than all 
the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now. 

8 Then the king arose, and sat in the e gate. And 
they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king 
cloth sit in the gate. And all the people came before 
the king ; f for Israel had fled, every man to his tent. 

9 And all the people were g at strife throughout all 
the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of 
the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of 
the hand of the Philistines ; and now he is fled out of 
the land for Absalom. 

10 And Absalom, wdiom h we anointed over us, is 
dead in battle. Now, therefore, why t speak ye not 
a word of bringing the king back ? 

1 1 And king David sent to ! Zadok and to Abiathar 
the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, 
saying, Why are ye k the last to bring the king back 
to his house ? seeing the speech of all Israel is come 
to the king, even to his house. 

1 2 Ye are my brethren, ye ' are my bones and my 
flesh : wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the 
king? 

13 And say ye to m Amasa, Art thou not of my 
bone, and of my flesh ? God do so to me, and more also, 
if thou be not captain of the host before me continually 
in the n room of Joab. 

1 4 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, 
even as the heart of ° one man ; so that they sent this 
word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy servants. 

15 So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And 
Judah came to p Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to con- 
duct the king over Jordan.

which was of r Bahurim, s hasted, and came down with 
the men of Judah to meet king David. 

17 And there were a thousand men of Benjamin 
with him, and l Ziha the servant of the house of Saul, 
and his u fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him ; 
and they went over Jordan before the king. 

18 And there went over a ferry-boat to cany over 
the king's household, and to do t what he thought 
good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before 
the king, as he was come over Jordan ; 

1 9 And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute 
iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which 
thy servant did x perversely the day that my lord the 
king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take 
it to his heart. 

20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned : 
therefore, behold, I am come y the first this day of all 
the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the 
king. 

21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and 
said, Shall not Shimei be z put to death for this, be- 
cause he cursed the Lord's anointed ? 

22 And David said, What have I to do with you, 
ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be t ad- 
versaries unto me ? Shall there any man be put to 
death this day in Israel ? for do not I know that I am 
this day king over Israel ? 

23 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt 
* not die. And the king sware unto him. 

24 And Mephibosheth the son h of Saul came down 
to meet the king, and had neither c dressed his feet, 
nor trimmed his beard, nor (1 washed his clothes, from 
the day the king departed until the day he came ogam 
in peace. 

25 And it came to pass, when he was come to Je- 
rusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, 
Wherefore wentest not thou with mo, Mephibosheth 1 

26 And he answered, My lord, O king, my ser- 
vant deceived me : for thy servant said, I will saddle 
me an ass, that 1 may ride thereon, and go to the king ; 
because thy servant is lame. 

27 And he hath e slandered thy seivant unto my 
lord <he king; but my lord the king is as an angel of 
God : do, therefore, what is good in thine eyes. 

28 For all of 'my father's house were but dead men 
before my lord the king : yet didst thou set thy servant 
among them that did eat at thine own table. What 
|| right, therefore, have I yet to cry any more unto the 
king ? 

29 And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou 
any more of thy matters ? ' I have said, Thou and 
Ziha divide the land. 

30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let 
him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come 
again in peace unto his own house. 

31 And E Barzillai the Gileadite came down from 
Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to con- 
duct him over Jordan. 

32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even four- 
score years old : and he had provided the king of sus- 
tenance while he lay at Mahanaim ; for he was a very 
great man. 

33 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou 
over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jeru- 
salem. 

34 And Barzillai said unto the king, t How h long 
have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto 
Jerusalem ? 



35 I am this day ' fourscore years old , and can 1 
k discern between good and evil 1 can thy servant taste 
what 1 eat or what I drink ? can I hear any more the 
voice of singing-men and singing-women ? wherefore 
then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord 
the king ? 

36 Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan 
with the king ; and why should the king recompense 
it me with such a reward ? 

37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, 
that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the 
grave of my father and of my mother : but, behold, 
thy servant ' Chimham, let him go over with my lord 
the king ; and do to him what shall seem good unto 
thee. 

38 And the king answered, Chimham shall go over 
with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem 
good unto thee : and whatsoever thou shalt require of 
me, that will I do for thee. 

39 And all the people went over Jordan. And 
when the king was come over, the king m kissed Bar- 
zillai, and n blessed him ; and he returned unto his 
own place. 

40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham 
went on with him : and all the people of Judah con- 
ducted the king, and also half the people of Israel. 

41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the 
king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren, 
the men of Judah, stolen thee away, and have ° brought 
the king and his household, and all David's men with 
him, over Jordan ? 

42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of 
Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us : where- 
fore then be ye angry for this matter ? have we eaten 
at all of the king's cost ? or hath he given us any 
gift? 

43 And the men of Israel answered the men of 
Judah, and said, p We have ten t parts in the king, 
and we have also more right in David than ye : why 
then did ye t despise us, that our advice should not be 
first had in bringing back our king ? And the t words 
of the men of Judah q were fiercer than the words of 
the men of Israel. 

CHAP. XX. 

By occasion of the quarrel, Sheba maketh a party in Israel. 

AND there happened to be a there a man of b Belial, 
whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a 
Benjamite ; and he blew c a trumpet, and said, We 
have d no part in David, neither have we inheritance 
in the son of Jesse : every man to his tents, O Israel. 

2 So every man of Israel went up from after David, 
and followed Sheba the son of Bichri : but the men 
e of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to 
Jerusalem. 

3 IF And David came to his house at Jerusalem ; 
and the king took the f ten women his concubines, 
whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in 
6 ward, and fed them, but b went not in unfo them : 
so they were shut up unto the day of their death, living 
in widowhood. 

4 Then said the king to '' Amasa, Assemble me (he 
men of Judah within three days, and be thou here 
present. 

5 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah ; 
but he tarried longer than the set time which he had 
appointed him. 

6 And David said to k Abishai, Now shall Sheba 
the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom :

take thou thy ' lord's servants, and pursue after him, 
lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us. 

7 And there went out after him, Joab's men, and 
the m Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty 
men : and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after 
Sheba the son of Bichri. 

8 When they were at the great stone n which is in 
Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's gar- 
ment that he had put on was girded unto him, and 
upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins 
in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell 
out. 

9 And Joab said to Amasa, 1" Art thou in health 
my brother ? And Joab took Amasa by the beard 
with the right hand to p kiss him. 

10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was 
in Joab's hand : so he smote him therewith in the. fifth 
q rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck 
him not again ; and he died. So Joab and Abishai 
his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri. 

1 1 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, 
r He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let 
him go after Joab. 

12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of 
the highway. And when the man saw that all the 
people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the high- 
way into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when 
he saw that every one that came by him stood still. 

13 When he was removed out of the highway, all 
the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba 
the son of Bichri. 

14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto 
Abel, and to 8 Beth-maachah, and all the * Berites ; 
and they were gathered together, and went also after 
him. 

15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of 
fUeb.pmr- Beth-maachah, and they t cast up a bank against the 

city, and it stood in the trench : and all the people that 
were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down. 

16 Then cried ™ a wise woman out of the city, 
Hear, hear ; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near 
hither, that I may speak with thee. 

17 And when he was come near unto her, the 
woman said, Art thou Joab ? And he answered, I am 
he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine 
handmaid. And he answered, I do hear. 

18 Then she spake, saying, They were wont to 
speak in old time, saying, They shall surely x ask 

Jos 'e i 9 9 14 ' counse l at ^bel : an d so they ended the matter. 

19 I am one \ of them that are peaceable and faith- 
ful in Israel : thou seekest to destroy a city and a 
mother in Israel : why wilt thou swallow up the in- 
heritance of the Lord ? 

20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be 
it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy. 

21 The matter is not so : but a man y of mount 
Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted 
up his hand against the king, even against David : de- 
liver him only, and I will depart from the city. And

The three years' 1 famine for the Gibeoniles cease. 

THEN there was a a famine in the days of David 
b three years, year after year ; and David c in- 
quired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, It is 
for Saul, and for his d bloody house, because he slew 
the Gibeon ites. 

2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto 
them ; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children 
of Israel, but of the e remnant of the Amorites ; and 
the children of Israel had sworn unto them ; and Saul 

n f 
Israel and Judah ;) 

3 Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What 
shall I do for you ? and wherewith shall I make the 
atonement, that g ye may bless the inheritance of the 
Lord? 

4 And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have 
- no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house ; neither 
for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, 
What you shall say, that will I do for you. 

5 And they answered the king, The man that con- 
sumed us, and that j devised against us that we should 
be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of 
Israel, 

6 Let k seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, 
and we will hang them up ' unto the Lord in Gibeah 
of Saul, whom the Lord did choose. And the king 
said, I will give them. 

7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of 
Jonathan the son of Saul, because of m the Lord's 
oath that was between them, between David and 
Jonathan the son of Saul. 

8 But the king took the two sons of n Rizpah the 
daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni 
and Mephibosheth ; and the five sons of Michal the 
daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the 
son of Barzillai the ° Meholathite ; 

9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gi- 
beonites, and they hanged them in the p hill q before 
the Lord : and they fell all seven together, and were 
put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, 
in the beginning of r barley-harvest. 

10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sack- 
cloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the 
beginning of harvest s until water dropped upon them 
out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to

1 1 And it was to]d David what Rizpah the daugh- 
ter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 

12 And David went and took the bones of Saul, 
and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of 
1 Jabesh-gilead, which had stolen them from the street 
of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, 
when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa : 

13 And he brought up from thence the bones of 
Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son ; and they 
gathered the bones of them that were hanged. 

1 4 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son 
buried they in the country of Benjamin in u Zelab. in

DavicPs worthies slay four giants. 

the sepulchre of x Kish his father ; and they perform- 
ed all that the king commanded : and after that, God 
was y entreated for the land. 

1 5 IT Moreover, the Philistines had yet war again 
with Israel ; and David went down, and his servants 
with him, and fought against the Philistines: and 
David waxed faint. 

16 And Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of the 
z giant, (the a weight of whose spear weighed || three 
hundred shekels of brass in weight.) he, being girded 
with a new sword, thought to have slain David : 

17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah b succoured him, 
and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the 
men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go 
no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not 
the t light of Israel. 

1 8 And it came to pass after this, that there was 
again a battle with the Philistines at c Gob : then 
'' Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of 
the sons of the giant. 

19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the 
Philistines, where e El-hanan the son of Jaare-oregim, 
a Beth-lehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the 
Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's 
beam. 

20 And there was yet a battle in f Gath, where was 
a man of great stature, that had on every hand six 
fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in 
number ; and he also was born to the giant. 

21 And when he " defied Israel, h Jonathan, the son 
of Shimeah, the brother of David, slew him. 

22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and 
' fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his 
servants. 

CHAP. XXII. 

A psalm of thanksgiving for God^s powerful deliverance and 
manifold blessings. 

AND David spake unto the Lord the words of this 
a song, in the day that b the Lord had delivered 
bPa.34, 19. ijj m ou t f the hand of all his enemies, and out of the 
c Mark ig, hand of c Saul : 

*• 2 And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my for- 

tress, and my d deliverer ; 

3 The God of my rock ; in him will I e trust : he is 
my f shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high 
tower, and my refuge, my g saviour; thou savest me 
from violence. 

4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be 
praised : so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 

5 When the b waves of death compassed me, the 
floods of ungodly men made me afraid ; 

6 The ' sorrows of hell compassed me about ; the 
k snares of death prevented me. 

7 In my distress ' I called upon the Lord, and cried 
to my God ; and he did hear my voice out of his 
temple, and my cry m did enter into his ears. 

8 Then the n earth shook and trembled ; the ° foun- 
dations of heaven moved and shook, because he was 
wroth. 

9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and 
i H«b. 12, p fire out of his mouth devoured : coals were kindled 

by it. 

10 He i bowed the heavens also and came down ; 
and r darkness was under his feet. 

1 1 And he rode upon s a cherub, and did fly : and 
he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 

1 2 And he made darkness pavilions ' round about 
him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

David?s psalm of thanksgiving- 

13 Through the brightness before him were "coals 
of fur kindled. 

14 The Lord thundered from heaven, and the 
Most High x uttered his voice. 

1 5 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them ; 
lightning, and discomfited them. 

1 6 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foun- 
dations of the world were discovered, at the y rebuking y Ps. 9, 5. 
of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his t nos- t Heb. nos 
trils. or ' an s e ^ 

17 He sent from z above, he took me ; he drew me iJudg. i, ' 
out of many a waters ; g 103 %i 

18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and Heb. \\ 14." 
from them that hated me : for they were too strong a Ps> 69, 2 - 
for me. 

1 9 They prevented me in the day of my calamity : 
but the Lord was my stay. 

20 He brought me forth also into a large place ; he 
delivered me, because b he delighted in me. b Ps. 5i, 6. 

21 The Lord rewarded me c according to my cPs. 7,3,4. 
•righteousness : according to the cleanness of my hands ph " ^ 10 ' 
hath he recompensed me. 

22 For I have d kept the ways of the Lord, and dp*. 119,3. 
have not wickedly departed from my God. 

23 For e all his judgments were before me : and as e Ps. 119, 
for his statutes, I did not depart from them. J^L 1 6. 

24 I was also f upright before him, and have kept f2Kings29, 
myself g from mine iniquity. p sal 51 6 

25 Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me ac- g Mat is, a! 
cording to my righteousness ; according to my clean- 
ness in his e3'e-sight. 

26 With the h merciful thou wilt shew thyself mer- h Mat - 5 . ?• 
ciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself 
upright. 

27 With the 'pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; "Mat. 5, 8. 
and with the k froward thou wilt shew thyself un- k Ex. 5, 2. 
savoury. ] 7 Sam ' 25 ' 

28 And the 'afflicted people thou wilt save: but iPsai. 12,5. 
thine m eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest mPs. 101,5. 
bring them down. 

29 For thou art my lamp, O Lord ; and the Lord 

will n lighten my darkness. n Ps ' 37 > 6 

30 For °by thee I have run through a troop : by o Phil. 4,1a. 
my God have I leaped over a wall. 

31 As for God, p his way is perfect; the word of pGen. 18, 
the Lord is q tried : he is a buckler to all them that q p s 12< 6 
trust in him. 

32 For r who is God, save the Lord ? and who is 
a rock, save our God ? 

33 God is my strength and power : and he maketh 
my way perfect. 

34 He maketh my feet like s hinds' feet; and setteth 
ine upon my l high places. 

35 He teacheth my hands to war ; so that a bow j 1 
of steel is broken by mine arms. 

36 Thou hast also given me the u shield of thy sal- uPs.34,11. 
vation : and thy gentleness hath t made me great. fffebfwl* 

37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me ; so that tipUedme. 
my feet did not slip. 

38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed 
them ; and turned not again until 1 had consumed 
them. 

39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, 

that they could not arise : yea, they are fallen x under * ™ a \ q \f 
my feet. 

40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle : 
them that rose up against me hast thou subdued

CHAP. XXIII. 

David in his last words professeth his faith in God's promises. 

NOW these be the a last words of David. David 
the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised 
up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the 
sweet b psalmist of Israel, said, 

2 The c Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his 
word was in my tongue. 

3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake 
to me, || He that ruleth over men must be just, t ruling 
in the fear of God : 

4 And he shall be as the d light of the morning, when 
the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds ; as the 
e tender grass springing out of the earth by clear 
shining after rain. 

5 Although f my house be not so with God ; yet he 
hath made with me an E everlasting covenant, h order- 
ed in all things, and sure : for this is all my salvation, 
and all my desire, although he make it || not to grow. 

6 But the sons of ' Belial shall be all of them as 
k thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken 
with hands. 

7 But the man that shall touch them must be fenced 
with iron, and the staff of a spear ; and they shall be 
utterly burned with fire in the same place, 

8 IT These be the names of ' the mighty men whom 
David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, 
chief among the captains; the same was Adino the 
Eznite ; he lifted up his spear against eight hundred, 
whom he slew at one time. 

9 And after him was m Eleazar, the son of Dodo 
the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, 
when they n defied the Philistines that were there 
gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were 
gone away : 

10 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his 
hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword : 
and the Lord wrought a great victory that day ; and 
the people returned after him only to spoil. 

1 1 And after him was ° Shammah the son of Agee

ther into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of 

lentiles ; and the people fled from the Philistines : 

12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and 
defended it, and slew the Philistines : and the Lord 
wrought a great victory. 

13 And three of the thirty chief went down, and 
came to David in the harvest-time unto the cave of 
p Adullam : and the troop of the Philistines pitched in 
the valley of Rephaim. 

1 4 And David was then in q a hold, and the garrison 5 ] Sam. 22. 
of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem. 

1 5 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would 
give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, 
which is by the gate ! 

1 6 And the three mighty men brake through the 
host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well 
of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and 
brought it to David : nevertheless he would not drink 
thereof, but r poured it out unto the Lord ;

I should s do this : is not this the blood of the men that s ( i (hr - "1 
went in jeopardy of their lives ? Therefore he would 
not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. 

18 And l Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of ti Cur. u, 
Zeruiah, was chief among three : and he lifted up his 26 ' 
spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had 

the name among three. 

19 Was he not most honourable of three? there- 
fore he was their captain : howbeit he attained not 
unto the first three. 

20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a 
valiant man, of u Kabzeel, t who had done many acts ; n J °sh. is, 
he slew two lion-like men of Moab : he went down ^ H el) 
also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of great m 

deeds,

21 And he slew an Egyptian, a t goodly man : and t Heb. man

down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out 1chron.11, 
of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him x with his own 
spear. 

22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 
and had the name among three mighty men. 

23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he 
attained not to the first three: and David set him

David, tempted by Satan, forceth Joab to number the people. 
ND a again the anger of the Lord was kindled 
against Israel, and || he moved David against 
them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 

2 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, 
which was with him, b Go now through all the tribes of 
Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye 
the people, that c I may know the number of the people. 

3 And Joab said unto the king, Now the Lord thy 
God add unto the people, how many soever they be, 
a hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king 
may see it : but why doth my lord the king delight in 
this thing ? 

4 Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against 
Joab, and against the captains of the host : and Joab 
and the captains of the host d went out from the pre- 
sence of the king, to number the people of Israel. 

5 And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in 
c Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the 
midst of the river of Gad, and toward f Jazer : 

6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of 
Tahtim-hodshi ; and they came to g Dan-jaan, and 
about to h Zidon, 

7 And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all 
the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites : and 
they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beer- 
sheba. 

8 So when they had gone through all the land, they 
came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and 
twenty days. 

9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the 
people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight 
hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword ; 
and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand 
men. 

1 And David's heart ' smote him after that he had 
numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, 
I have k sinned greatly in that I have done : and now, 
1 beseech th.ee, O Lord, ' take away the iniquity of 
thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 

1 1 For when David was up in the morning, the 
word of the Lord came unto the prophet m Gad, Da-

s seer, saying, 



12 Go and say unto David, Thus saith the Lord, 
I offer thee three things ; choose thee one of them, that 
I may do it unto thee. 

1 3 So Gad came to David, anfftold him, and said 
unto him, || Shall seven years of famine come unto

thine enemies, while they pursue thee ? or that there 
be three days' pestilence in thy land 1 Now advise, and 
see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 

14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait : 

let us fall now into the " hand of the Lord, (for his n Heb. 12, 
mercies are ° great,) and let me not fall into tlie hand o'pa'. 103 
p of man. 13, 14. 

15 So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, from \ s ?~ 27, 8 ' 
the morning even to the time appointed : and there p Prov. 12, 
died of the people, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, 
9 seventy thousand men. 

1 6 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon 
Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the 
evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, 

It is r enough ; stay now thine hand. And the angel T ? s - 78 > 3S - 
of the Lord was by the threshing-place of s Araunah s icbr. 21, 
the 4 Jebusite. 22. 

1 7 And David spake unto the Lord, when he u saw & isjo.'iz! 
the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have 
sinned, and I have done wickedly : but these sheep, 
what have they done? Let thine hand, I pray thee, 
be against me, and against my father's house. 

1 8 And Gad came that day to David, and said unto

him, x Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in the x Gen. 22,

went up, y as the Lord commanded. 

20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his is! 
servants coming on toward him : and Araunah went 
out, and bowed himself before the king on his face 
upon the ground. 

21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the 
king come to his servant ? And David said, To buy 
the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto the 
Lord, that z the plague may be stayed from the * Num. ig, 
people. 48- 

22 And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the 
king take and offer up what secmelh good unto him : 
behold, here he oxen for burnt-sacrifice, and threshing-

5 IT Then h Adonijah the son of Haggith i exalted 
himself, saying, k 1 will be king : and he prepared him 
chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 

6 And his father had not displeased him at any time 
in saying, Why hast thou done so ? and he i also was 
a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after 
Absalom. 

7 And he m conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, 
and with n Abiathar the priest : and they, following 
Adonijah, helped him. 

8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of 
Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and 
Rei, and the ° mighty men which belonged to David, 
were not with Adonijah. 

9 And Adonijah p slew sheep and oxen and fat 
cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, 
and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the 
men of Judah the king's servants: 

10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the 
mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not. 

1 1 Wherefore Nathan q spake unto Bath-sheba the 
mother of Solomon, saying. Hast thou not heard that 
Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David 
our lord knoweth it not ? 

1 2 Now therefore come, t let me, I pray thee, give 
thee counsel, that thou mayest t save thine own life, 
and the life of thy son Solomon. 

13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and say 
unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, r swear 
unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy 
son shall reign after me, and he shall s sit upon my 
throne ? why then doth Adonijah reign ? 

1 4 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the 
king, I also will come in after thee, and t confirm thy 
words. 

15 And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the 
cnamber : and the king was very old ; and Abishag 
the Shunammite ministered unto the king. 

1 6 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto 
the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou ? 

1 7 And she said unto him, My lord, thou * swarest 
by the Lord u thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, 
Assuredly x Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and 
he shall sit upon my throne : 

1 8 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth ; and now, 
my lord the king, thou knowest it not : 

1 9 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep 
in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, 
and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the 
host : but Solomon thy servant hath he not called. 

20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel 
are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall 
sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 

21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord 
the king shall t sleep with y his fathers, that I and my 
son Solomon shall be counted t offenders. 

22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, 
Nathan the prophet also came in. 

23 And they told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan 
the prophet. And when he was come in before the 
king, he bowed himself before the king with his face 
to the ground. 

24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou 
said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit 
upon my throne ? 

25 For he is gone down this day, and hath slain 



oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath 
called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, 
and Abiathar the priest : and, behold, they eat and 
drink before him, and say, t God save king Adonijah. 

26 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the 
priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy ser- 
vant Solomon, hath he not. called. 

27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou 
z hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit 
on the throne of my lord the king after him ? 

28 Then king David answered and said, Call me 
Bath-sheba. And she came into the king's presence, 
and stood before the king. 

29 And the king sware, and said, t As the Lord 
liveth, that hath redeemed my soul a out of all distress, 

30 Even as I sware unto thee by the Lord God of 
Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign 
after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead ; 
even so will I certainly do this day. 

31 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the 
earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let 
my lord king David live b for ever. 

32 And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, 
and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of 
Jehoiada. And they came before the king. 

33 The king also said unto them, Take with you 
the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son 
to ride upon c mine own mule, and bring him down to 
d Gihon : 

34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the pro- 
phet e anoint him there king over Israel : and f blow ye 
with the trumpet, and say, t God save king Solomon. 

35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may 
come and sit upon my throne ; for he shall be king in 
my stead : and I have g appointed him to be ruler 
over Israel and over h Judah. 

36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the 
king, and said, ' Amen : the Lord God of my lord the 
king k say so too. 

37 As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, 
even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne 
1 greater than the throne of my lord king David. 

38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet,-, 
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, 
and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon 
to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to 
Gihon. 

39 And Zadok the priest took a horn of oil m out 
of the tabernacle, and || anointed Solomon. And 
they blew the trumpet ; and all the people said, God 
save king Solomon. 

40 And all the people came up after him ; and the 
people piped with pipes, and n rejoiced with great joy, 
so that the earth ° rent with the sound of them. 

41 And Adonijah, and all the guests that were with 
him, heard it, as they had made p an end of eating. 
And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, q he 
said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an 
uproar ? 

42 And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the 
son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said 
unto him, Come in ; for thou art a valiant man, and 
bringest r good tidings. 

43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, 
Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king. 

44 And the king hath sent with him Zadok the 
priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son 
of Jehoiada, and the Clierel hites, and the Pelethites,

s charge to Solomon. 

and they have caused him to ride upon the king's 
mule: 

45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet 
have anointed him king in Gihon ; and they are s come 
up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. 
This is the noise that ye have heard. 

46 And also Solomon ' sitteth on the throne of the 
kingdom. 

47 And, moreover, the king's servants came u to 
bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name 
of Solomon better than thy name, and make his 
throne greater than thy throne. And the king x bow- 
ed himself upon the bed. 

48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be the Lord 
God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne 
this day, mine eyes even seeing it. 

49 And all the guests that were with Adonijah were 
afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way. 

50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and 
arose, and went, and caught hold on the y horns of 
the z altar. 

51 And it was fold Solomon, saying, Behold, Ado- 
nijah feareth king Solomon : for, lo, he hath caught 
hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solo- 
mon swear unto me to-day, that he will not slay his 
servant with the sword. 

52 And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a 
worthy man, there shall not a a hair of him fall to the 
earth : but if wickedness shall be found in him, he 
shall b die. 

53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him 
down from the altar. And he came and bowed him- 
self to king Solomon : and Solomon said unto him, 
c Go to thine house. 

CHAP. II. 

David, having given a charge to Solomon, dielh. 

NOW the clays of David drew nigh that he should 
a die : and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 

2 I go b the way of all the earth : be thou strong 
therefore, and shew thyself a man ; 

3 And c keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to 
walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his com- 
mandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, 
as it is d written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest 
prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou 
turnest thyself; 

4 That the Lord may e continue his word, which 
he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children f take 
heed to their way, to walk E before me in truth with 
all their heart and h with all their soul, there shall not 
fail thee (said he) a ' man on the throne of Israel. 

5 Moreover, thou knowest also what Joab the son 
of Zeruiah k did to me, and what he did to the two 
captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of 
Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he 
slew, and ' shed the blood of war in peace, and put 
the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his 
loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet. 

6 Do therefore according to m thy wisdom, and let 
not his hoar head go clown to the " grave in peace. 

7 But shew kindness unto the ° sons of Barzillai 
the Gileadite, and let them be of those that p eat. at 
thy table : for so they came to me when 1 lied be- 
cause of Absalom thy brother. 

8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son 
of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me 
with a t grievous curse in the day when I went to 
Mahanaim : but he came down to meet me at Jor- 



CHAP. II. Adonijah'' s request : his 

dan, and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I will 
not put thee to death with the sword. 

9 Now therefore q hold him not guiltless ; for thou 
art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to 
do unto him ; but his hoar head bring thou down to 
the grave with blood. 

1 So David r slept with his fathers, and was buried 
in the s city of David. 

1 1 And the days that David l reigned over Israel 
loere forty years : seven years reigned he in Hebron, 
and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. 

12 Then u sat Solomon upon the throne of David 
his father ; and his kingdom was established greatly. 

1 3 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath- 
sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest 
thou t peaceably? And he said, Peaceably. 

1 4 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto 
thee. And she said, Say on. 

15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom 
x was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, 
that I should reign : howbeit the kingdom is turned 
about, and is become my brother's; for it was his 
y from the Lord. 

16 And now I ask one petition of thee, t deny me 
not. And she said unto him, Say on. 

1 7 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon 
the king, (for he will not say thee nay.) that he give 
me Abishag the Shunammite to wife. 

1 8 And Bath-sheba said, z Well ; I will speak for 
thee unto the king. 

1 9 Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, 
to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose 
up to meet her, and a bowed himself unto her, and 
sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set 
for the king's mother; and she sat b on his right hand. 

20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of 
thee ; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said 
unto lief, Ask on, my mother ; for I will not say thee 
nay. 

21 An J she said, Let c Abishag the Shunammite be 
givci* to Adonijah thy brother to wife. 

22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his 
molher, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunam- 
mite for Adonijah? ask for him d the kingdom also ; 
for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for 
e Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah. 

23 Then king Solomon sware by the Lord, saying, 
God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have 
not spoken this word against his own life. 

24 Now therefore, as the Lord liveth, which hath 
established me, and f set me on the throne of David 
my father, and who hath made me g a house, as he 
h promised, Adonijah shall be ' put to death this day. 

25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah 
the son of Jehoiada ; and he k fell upon him that he 
died. 

26 And ui/to Abiathar the priest said the king, Get 
thee to ' Anathoth, unto thine own fields ; for thou art 
m worthy of death : but I will not D at this time phi thee 
to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord God 
before David my father, and because thou hast "been 
afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted. 

27 So Solomon 1 linist out Abiathar from being priest 
unto the Lord ; that he might '' fulfil the word of the 
Lord, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in 
i Shiloh. 

28 Then tidings came to Joab : (for Joab had

Absalom :) and Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the 
Lord, and caught hold on the s horns of the altar. 

29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled 
unto the tabernacle of the Lord ; and, behold, he is 
by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of 
Jehoiada, saying, Go fall upon him. 

30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the Lord, 
and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. 
And he said, Nay ; but I will die here. And Benaiah 
brought the king word again, saying, Thus saith J oab, 
and thus he answered me. 

31 And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, 
and t fall upon him, and u bury him ; that thou x mayest 
take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from 
me, and from the house of my father. 

32 And the Lord shall return his blood y upon his 
own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and 
better than he, and slew them with the sword, my 
father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the 
son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa 
the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah. 

33 Their t blood shall therefore return upon the head 
of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever : but 
upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, 
and upon his throne, shall there be z peace for ever 
from the Lord. 

34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and 
fell upon him, and slew him ; and he was buried in 
his own house in the a wilderness. 

35 And the king b put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada 
in his room over the host ; and Zadok the priest did 
the king put in the room of Abiathar. 

36 IT And the king sent and called for c Shimei, and 
said unto him, Build thee a house d in Jerusalem, and 
dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither. 

37 For it shall be, that ou the day thou goest out, 
and passest over the brook e Kidron, thou shalt know 
for certain that thou shalt surely die : f thy blood shall 
be upon thine own head. 

38 And Shimei said unto the king, The saying s is 
good : as my lord the king hath said, so will thy ser- 
vant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many 
days. 

39 And it came to pass, at the end of three years, 
that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto 
h Achish son of ' Maachah, king of Gath : and they 
told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath. 

40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and k went 
to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants : and Shimei 
went, and brought his servants from Gath. 

41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone 
from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again. 

42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and 
said unto him, Did I not make thee to ' swear by the 
Lord, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a 
certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest 
abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die ? and 
thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is 
good. 

43 Why then hast thou not kept the m oath of the 
Lord, and the commandment that I have charged 
thee with ? 

44 The king said, moreover, to Shimei, "Thou 
knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy 
to, that ° thou didst to David my father : therefore the 
Lord shall p return thy wickedness upon thine own 
head : 

45 And king Solomon sludl bo « blessed, and the! 




iPs. 106,30 



throne of David f shall be established before the Lord 
for ever. 

46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Je- 
hoiada ; which went out, and fell upon him, that he 
died. And the s kingdom was established in the hand sProv. 154. 
of Solomon. 

CHAP. III. 

Solomon's judgment between the two harlots maketh him 
renowned. 



ND Solomon made a affinity with Pharaoh king 
of Egypt, and b took Pharaoh's daughter, and 
brought her into the c city of David, until he had made 
an end of building his a own house, and the house of 
the IiORD, and the e wall of Jerusalem round about. 

2 Only the people sacrificed in f high places, be- 
cause there was s no house built unto the name of the 
Lord until those days. 

3 And Solomon h loved the Lord, ! walking in the 
statutes of David his father : only he sacrificed and 
burnt incense in high places. 

4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there ; 
for that was k the great high place : a thousand burnt- 
offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. 

5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in l a 
dream by m night : and God said, D Ask what I shall 
give thee. 

6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy 
servant David my father great mercy, according as he 
walked before thee ° in truth, and p in righteousness, 
and in q uprightness of heart with thee ; and thou hast 
kept r for him this great kindness, that thou hast given 
him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 

7 And now, O Lord my God, s thou hast made thy 
servant king instead of David my father ; and 1 1 am 
but a little child : I know not how u to go out or come in. 

8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people 
which thou hast x chosen, a great people, that y can- 
not be numbered nor counted for multitude. 

9 '■ Give therefore thy servant an understanding 
heart a to judge thy people, that I may b discern be- 
tween good and bad : for who is able to judge this thy 
so great a people ? 

10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon 
had asked this thing. 

1 1 And God said unto him, Because thou hast 
asked this thing, and hast not asked c for thyself t long 
life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast 
asked the life of thine enemies ; but hast asked for 
thyself understanding to discern judgment ; 

12 Behold, d I have done according to thy word : 
lo, I have given thee c a wise and an understanding 
heart ; so that there was none f like thee before thee, 
neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 

13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast 
g not asked, both riches and honour ; so that there shall 
not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy 
days. 

1 4 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my 
statutes and my commandments, h as thy father David 
did walk, then I will ' lengthen thy days. 

15 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was k a 
dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before 
1 the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up 
burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made 
m a feast to all his servants. 

1 6 TT n Then came there two women, that toere ° har- 
lots, unto the king, and stood before him. 

1 7 And the one woman said, p O my lord, I and

this woman dwell in one house ; and 1 was delivered 
of a child with her in the house. 

1 8 And it came to pass, the third day after that I was 
delivered, that this woman was delivered also : and 
we were together ; there was no stranger with us in the 
house, save we two in the house. 

1 9 And this woman's child died in the night ; be- 
cause she overlaid it. 

20 And she arose q at midnight, and took my sou 
from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid 
it iii her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. 

21 And when I arose in the morning to give my 
child r suck, behold, it was dead ; but when I had con- 
sidered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son 
which I did bear. 

22 And the other woman said, Nay ; but the living 
is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, 
No ; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. 
Thus they spake before the king. 

23 Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son 
that liveth, and thy son is the dead : and the other saith, 
Nay ; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. 

24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And 
they brought a sword before the king. 

25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, 
and give half to the one, and half to the other. 

26 Then spake the woman whose the living child 
was unto the king, (for her bowels t yearned upon her 
son,) and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, 
and B in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be 
neither mine nor thine, but divide it. 

27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the 
living child, and in no wise slay it : she is the * mother 
thereof. 

28 And all [srael heard of the judgment which the 
king had judged ; and they feared the king : for they 
saw that the u wisdom of God was in him, to x do 
judgment. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Solomon' 1 s princes. 7 His twelve officers for provision. 

SO king Solomon was king over a all Israel. 
2 And these were the h princes which he had ; 
Azariah the son of || Zadok the priest ; 

3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, c scribes ; 
Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder. 

4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the 
host ; and Zadok and || Abiathar were the priests ; 

5 And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the 
officers ; and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal 
officer, and Ihe king's ° friend ; 

6 And Ahishar was over the household ; and Ado- 
niram the son of Abda was over the e tribute. 

7 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, 
which provided victuals for the king and his house- 
hold : each man his month in a year made provision. 

8 And these are their names : The son of Hur, in 
f mount Ephraim. 

9 The son of Dekar, in 6 Makaz, and in Shaalbim, 
and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan. 

10 The son of Hesed, in h Aruboth; to him per- 
tained Sochoh, and all the land of ' Hepher. 

11 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of k Dor ; 
which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife. 

12 Baana, the son of Ahilud; to him pertained 
1 Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which 
is by m Zartanah beneath "Jezrcel, from ° Beth-shean 
to '' Abel-meholah, even unto the place that is beyond 
q Jokneam. 



1 3 The son of Geber, in r Rarnoth-gilead ; to him 
pertained the s towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, 
which are in Gilead : to him also pertained the * re- 
gion of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great 
cities, with walls and brazen bars. 

14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had "Mahanaim. 

15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Bas- 
math the daughter of Solomon to wife. 

16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in 
Aloth. 

1 7 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah in Issachar. 

1 8 Shimei the son of Elah in Benjamin. 

1 9 Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gi- 
lead, in the country of K Sihon king of the Amorites, 
and of Og king of Bashan ; and he was the only officer 
which was in the land. 

20 IT Judah and Israel were many, as the y sand 
which is by the sea in multitude, z eating and drinking, 
and making merry. 

21 And Solomon reigned a over all kingdoms from 
the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the 
border of Egypt : they brought b presents, and served 
Solomon all the days of his life. 

22 And Solomon's t provision for one day was 
|| thirty measures of fine flour, and || threescore mea- 
sures of meal, 

23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pas- 
tures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and roe- 
bucks, and fallow deer, and fatted fowl. 

24 For he had dominion over ail the region on this 
side the river, from c Tiphsah even to d Azzah, e over 
all the kings on this side the river : and he had peace 
on all sides round about him. 

25 And Judah and Israel f dwelt safely, every man 
s under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even 
to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon. 

26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses 
for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. 

27 And those officers provided victual for king 
Solomon, and for all that came "unto king Solo- 
mon's table, every man in his month : they lacked 
nothing. 

28 Barley also and straw for the horses and h dro- 
medaries brought they unto the place where the officers 
were, every man according to his charge. 

29 And ' God gave Solomon wisdom and under- 
standing exceeding much, and t largeness of heart, 
even as the sand that is on the sea-shore. 

30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of 
all the children of the k east country, and all the 
wisdom of ' Egypt. 

31 For he was "' wiser than all men ; than n Ethan 
the Ezrahite, and Heman, and ° Chalcol, and Darda, 
the sons of JYIahol : and his fame was in all nations 
round about. 

32 And he spake three thousand p proverbs : and 
his q songs were a thousand and five. 

33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar-tree that 
is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out 
of the wall : he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and 
of creeping things, and of fishes. 

34 And there came of r all people to hear the wis- 
dom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which 
had heard of his wisdom.

anointed him king in the room of his father ;) for 
Hiram t was ever a lover of David. 

2 And h Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, 

3 Thou knowest how that David my father could 
not c build a house d unto the name of the Lord his 
God, for the e wars which were about him on every 
side, until the Lord put them f under the soles of his 
feet. 

4 But now the Lord my God hath given me g rest 
on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil 
occurrent. 

5 And, behold, I purpose to build a house unto the 
h name of the Lord my God, ' as the Lord spake unto 
David my father, saying, Thy son whom I will set 
upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build a house 
unto my name. 

6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me 
k ch. 6, 20. k cedar-trees out of Lebanon ; and my servants shall 

he with thy servants : and unto thee will I give hire 
for thy servants, according to all that thou shalt ap- 
point : for thou knowest that there is not among us any 
that can skill to hew timber like unto the ' Sidonians. 

7 And it came to pass, m when Hiram heard the 
words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, 
Blessed be t the Lord this day, which hath given unto 
David a wise son over this great people. 

8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have con- 
sidered the things which thou sentest to me for : and 
I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, 
and concerning timber of fir. 

9 My servants shall bring them down from n Leba- 
non unto the sea ; and I will convey them by sea in 
floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and 
will cause them to be discharged there, and thou 
shalt receive them : and thou shalt accomplish my 

o Ezet 27, desire in giving food for my ° household. 

10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar-trees, and fir- 
trees, according to all his desire. 

1 1 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand 
t measures of wheat for food to his household, and 
twenty measures of pure oil : thus gave Solomon to 
Hiram year by year. 

1 2 And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he 
P ch. 3, 12. p promised him ; and there was peace between Hiram 

and Solomon ; and they two made a league together. 

13 And king Solomon raised q a levy out of all 
Israel ; and the levy was thirty thousand men. 

14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a 
month by courses ; a month they were in Lebanon, 

i chap. 4, 6. anc l two months at home : r and Adoniram was over 
the levy, 

1 5 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand 
that s bare burdens, and fourscore thousand || hewers 
in the mountains : 

16 Besides the chief of Solomon's officers which 
were over the work, three thousand and three hun-

5 And against the wall of the house he built s cham- 
bers round about, against the walls of the house round 
about, both of the temple and of the h oracle : and he 
made chambers round about. 

6 The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, 
and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third 
was seven cubits broad : for without in the walloi the 
house he made narrowed rests round about, that the 
beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house. 

7 And the house, when it was in building, was 
built ' of stone made ready before it was brought 
thither : so that there was neither k hammer, nor axe, 
nor any tool of iron, heard in the house while it was 
in building. 

8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right 
side of the house : and they went up with winding 
stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle 
into the ' third. 

9 So he built the house, and finished it ; and cover- 
ed the house with m beams and boards of cedar. 

10 And then he built chambers against all the 
house, five cubits high : and they rested on the house 
with timber of cedar. 

1 1 IF And the word of the Lord n came to Solomon, 
saying, 

1 2 Concerning this house which thou art in build- 
ing, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my 
"judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk ° chap. 2, 3. 
in them ; then will I perform my word with thee, 
which I spake unto David thy father : 

1 3 And I will p dwell among the children of Israel, 
and will not forsake my people Israel. 

1 4 So Solomon built the house, and finished it. 

15 And he built the walls of the house within with 
boards of cedar, t both the floor of the house and the +Heb./rom 
walls of the ceiling : and he covered them on the in- 
side with wood, and covered the floor of the house 
with planks of fir. 

1 6 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the 
house, both the floor and the walls, with boards of 
cedar : he even built them for it within, even for the 
oracle, even for the t most holy place. t Heb. hot?

21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure] 
gold : and he made a partition hy the s chains of gold 
before the oracle ; and he overlaid it with gold. 

22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, un- 
til he had finished all the house : also the whole * altar 
that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold. 

23 And within the oracle he made two u cherubims 
of t olive-tree, each ten cubits high. 

24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, 
and five cubits the other wing of the cherub : from 
the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost 
part of the other were ten cubits. 

25 And the other cherub was ten cubits : both the 
cherubims were of one measure and one size. 

26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, 
and so was it of the other cherub. 

27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house : 
and they x stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, 
so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and 
the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall ; 
and their wings touched one another in the midst of 
the house. 

28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold. 

29 And he carved all the walls of the house round 
about with carved figures of cherubims and palm- 
trees and t open flowers, within and without. 

30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, 
within and without. 

31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors 
of olive-tree : the lintel and side-posts were || a fifth 
part of the wall. 

32 The two dooi's also were of olive-tree ; and he 
carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm- 
trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, 
and spread gold upon the cherubims and upon the 
palm-trees. 

33 So also made he for the door of the temple, 
posts of oiive-tree, a fourth part of the wall. 

34 And the two doors 'were of y fir-tree : the two 
leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves 
of the other door ivere folding. 

35 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm- 
trees and open flowers ; and covered them with gold 
fitted upon the carved work. 

36 And he built the ''■ inner court with three rows 
of hewed stone, and a row of cedar-beams. 

37 IT In the fourth year was the foundation of the 
Lg™Tart house of the Lord laid, in the month Zif : 

o/ October, 38 And in the eleventh year, in the month || Bui, 
"JitveZbt/ (which is the eighth month,) was the house a finished

BUT Solomon was building his own a house || thir-

2 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon ; 
the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the 
breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof 
thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with 
cedar beams upon the pillars. 

3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the 
beams, that lay on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row. 

4 And there were windows in three tows, and light 
was against light in three ranks. 

5 And all the doors and posts were square, with the

pillars and the thick beam were before them. 

7 Then he made a porch for the b throne, where he bch. id, is

covered, with cedar from one side of the floor to the

8 And his house where he dwelt had another court 
within the porch, which was of the like work. Solo- 
mon made also a house c for Pharaoh's daughter, c chap. 3, 1 
whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch. 

9 All these were of d costly stones, (according to dch. 5,17

within and without, even from the foundation unto the 
coping, and so on the outside toward the great court. 

10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even 
great stones ; stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight 
cubits. 

1 1 And e above were costly stones, (after the mea- 
sures of hewed stones,) and cedars. 

1 2 And the great court round about was with three 
rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, 
both for the f inner court of the house of the Lord, f chap. 6,36

13 IT And king Solomon sent, and s fetched Hiram g 2 Chr. 2, 
out of Tyre. 

1 4 He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, 
and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass : 
and he was h filled with wisdom and understanding, 
and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came ~f™{ 
to king Solomon, and wrought all his work. 16 ■ 

15 For he t cast ' two pillars of brass, of || eighteen Jsa. 28. 29.

compass either of them about. 

1 6 And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to 
set upon the tops of the pillars : the height of the one 
chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other 
chapiter was five cubits : 

17 And nets of checker- work, and wreaths of chain-

20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had 
■pomegranates also above, over against the belly which 
was by the net-work : and the pomegranates were ' two

21 And he set up the m pillars in the porch of the

and called the name thereof || Boaz. 

22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work : 
so was the work of the pillars finished. 

23 And he made " a molten sea, ten cubits from

his height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits 
did compass it round about.

toward the north, and three looking toward the west, 
and three tanking toward the south, and three looking 
toward the east : and the sea was set above upon them, 
and all their hinder parts were, inward. 
pJer.52,21, 26 And it was a p hand-breadth thick, and the brim 
thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with 
flowers of lilies : it contained two thousand baths. 

27 And he made ten bases of brass: four cubits 
was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth 
thereof, and three cubits the height of it. 

28 And the work of the bases was on this mariner: 
they had borders, and the t borders were between the 
ledges : 

29 And on the borders that were between the ledges 
were lions, oxen, and cherubims : and upon the ledges 
there was a base above : and beneath the lions and 
oxen were certain additions made of thin work. 

30 And every base had four brazen wheels, and 
plates of brass ; and the four corners thereof had un- 
dersetters : under the laver were undersetters molten, 
at the side of every addition. 

31 And the mouth of it, within the chapiter and 
above, was a cubit : but the mouth thereof. wets round, 
after the work of the base, a cubit and a half; and 
also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their bor- 
ders, foursquare, not round. 

32 And under the borders were four wheels ; and 
the axle-trees of the wheels were joined to the base, 
and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a 
cubit. 

33 And the work of the wheels ?vas like the work 
of a chariot-wheel ; their axle-trees, and their naves, 
and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten. 

34 And there were four undersetters to the four 
corners of one base : and the undersetters were of the 
very base itself. 

35 And in the top of the base icas there a round 
compass of half a cubit high : and on the top of the 
base, the ledges thereof, and the borders thereof, were 
of the same. 

36 For on the plates of the j| t ledges thereof, and 
on the borders thereof, he graved || cherubims, lions, 
and palm-trees, according to the proportion of every 
one, and additions round about. 

37 After this manner he made the ten bases : all of 
them had one casting, one measure, and one size. 

38 Then made he q ten lavers of brass : one laver 
contained forty baths ; and every laver was four cubits : 
and upon every one of the ten bases one laver. 

39 And he put five bases on the right side of the 
house, and five on the left side of the house ; and he 
set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, 
over against the south. 

40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, 
and the r basons. So Hiram made an end of doing 
all the work that he made king Solomon for the house 
of the Lord ; 

41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the cha- 
piters that were on the top of the two pillars ; and the 
two net-w r orks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters 
which were upon the top of the pillars ; 

42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two net- 
works, even two rows of pomegranates for one net- 
work, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that 
toere t upon the pillars ; 

43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 

44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea ;

prayer. 

HEN Solomon a assembled the elders of Israel, 1004. 
and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the alChr - 5 > 2 ' 
fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon 
in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the b ark of the b en. 3, is. 
covenant of the Lord out of the c city of David, which c2Sam.5,a 
is Zion. 

2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves 
unto king Solomon at the d feast, in the month Etha- 
nim, which is the seventh month. 

3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the e priests 
took up the ark. 

4 And they brought up the ark of the Lord, and 
the f tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy f Ex. 36, a. 
vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did 
E the priests and the Levites bring up. 

5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of 
Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him 
before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, h that could h 2 Sam. 6, 
not be told nor numbered for multitude. 

6 And the ' priests brought in the ark of the cove- iDeutsi,9. 
nant of the Lord unto k his place, into the oracle of k Exod. 2G, 
the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings 33 > 34 - 
of the cherubims. 

7 For the cherubims spread forth their two wings 
over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered 
the ark, and the l staves thereof, above. ! Ex. 37, 4,. 

8 And they m drew out the staves, that the ends of m Ex

14 And the king turned his face about, and * bless- 
ed all the congregation of Israel : (and all the con-

15 And he said, y Blessed be the Lord God of Is- 
rael, which z spake with his mouth unto David my 
father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, 

18 Since the day that I brought forth my people 
Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes 
of Israel to build a house, that a my name might be 
therein ; but I chose David to be over my people 
Israel. 

1 7 And it was b in the heart of David my father to 
build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel. 

18 And the Lord said unto David my father. 
Whereas it was in thine heart to build a house unto 
my name, thou c didst well that it was in thine 
heart : 

1 9 Nevertheless d thou shalt not build the house 
but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he 
shall build the house unto my name. 

20 And the Lord hath performed his word that he 
spake ; and I am risen up in the room of David my 
father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord 
e promised, and have built a house for the name of the 
Lord God of Israel. 

21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein 
is the f covenant of the Lord, which he made with 
our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of 
Egypt.

k walk before thee with all their heart ; 

24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father 
that thou promisedst him : thou spakest also with thy

carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and 
have done perversely, we have committed wickedness ; 

48 And so return unto thee * with all their heart, 
and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies 
which led them away captive, and pray unto thee 
toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, 
the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which 
I have built for thy name : 

49 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplica- 
tion in heaven thy dwelling-place, and u maintain their 
cause, 

50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against 
thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have 
transgressed against thee, and x give them compassion 
before them who carried them captive, that they may 
have compassion on them : 

51 For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, 
which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the 
midst of y the furnace of iron : 

52 That thine eyes may be open unto the suppli- 
cation of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy 
people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they 
call for unto thee ; 

53 For thou didst z separate them from among all 
the people of the earth, to be thine a inheritance, as 
thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when 
thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord 
God. 

54 1 And it was so, that when Solomon had made 
an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto 
the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, 
from b kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up 
to heaven. 

55 And he stood, and c blessed all the congregation 
of Israel with a loud voice, saying, 

56 Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto 
his people Israel, d according to all that he promised : 
there hath not failed one word of all his good pro- 
mise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his 
servant. 

51 The Lord our God be e with us, as he was with 
our fathers : let him not leave us, nor forsake us ; 

53 That he may f incline our hearts unto him, to 
walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments 
and his statutes, and his judgments, which he com- 
manded our fathers. 

59 And let these my words, wherewith I have made 
jir a 'io 8 '23 su PPlj cation before the Lord, s be nigh unto the Lord 
John is, 3. our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of 
8 9^«'« l" s servant, and the cause of his people Israel at tall 

as the matter shall require ; 

60 That h all the people of the earth may know 
that ' the Lord is God, and that there is none else. 

6 1 Let your heart, therefore, k be perfect with the 
Lord your God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep 
his commandments, as at this day. 

62 ir And the king, and all Israel with him, offered 
sacrifice ' before the Lord.

God's covenant in a vision with Solomon. 

AND it came to pass, when Solomon had a finished 
the building of the house of the Lord, and the 
king's house, and all Solomon's b desire which he was 
pleased to do, 

2 That the Lord appeared to Solomon the c second c ch - 2 > 5 - & 
time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. 

3 And the Lord said unto him, I have d heard thy dPs.10,17. 
prayer and thy supplication that thou hast made be- p an 5 ' 9 12 ; 
fore me : I have hallowed this house which thou hast 
built, to put my name there for ever ; and e mine eyes e ch - 8 » 29

and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 

4 And if thou wilt walk f before me, as David thy fa- 
ther walked, g in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, 
to do according to all that I have commanded thee, 
and will keep my statutes and my judgments ; 

5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom 
upon Israel for ever, h as I promised to David thy h 2 Sam 
father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon 12 > 13 - 
the throne of Israel. 

6 But if you shall at all ' turn from following me, 
you or your children, and will not keep my command- 
ments and my statutes which I have set before you, 
but go and serve other gods, and worship them ; 

7 Then will I k cut off Israel out of the land which k 2 Kings 
I have given them: and ' this house, which I have f 7 ^^ 
hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight ; 25, 9. ° 
and Israel shall be m a proverb and a by-word among ^ e np '; t 15 s 
all people : 

8 And at this house, ivhich is high, every one that 
passeth by it shall be n astonished, and shall ° hiss ; 
and they shall saj', p "Why hath the Lord done thus 
unto this land, and to this house ? 

9 And q they shall answer, Because they forsook ;J "'J^'® ' 
the Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers 14. 
out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon ^ r - 2 - 10 > 
other gods, and have worshipped them, and served 
them : r therefore hath the Lord brought upon them r Ps- 126, 3. 
all this evil. 

10 IT And it came to pass s at the end of twenty s2Chr.8,i. 
years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the 
house of the Lord, and the t king's house, t chap. 7, 1. 

1 1 (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished 
Solomon with cedar-trees, and fir-trees, and with gold, 
according to all his desire,) that then Solomon gave 
Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 

1 2 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities 
which Solomon had given him ; and they t pleased t Heb. wen

Solomon raised, For to build the house of the Lord, 
and his own house, and z Millo, and the wall of Je- 
rusalem, and a Hazor, and b Megiddo, and c Gezer. 

16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and 
d taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the 
Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a 
present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife. 

17 And Solomon built Gezer, and e Beth-horon the 
nether, 

18 And f Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, 
in the land, 

19 And all the cities of e store that Solomon had, 
and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, 
and that which Solomon b desired to build in Jeru- 
salem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his 
dominion. 

20 And all the people that were ' left of the Amor- 
ites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which 
were not of the children of Israel, 

21 Their children that were left after them in the 
land, whom the children of Israel also were not able 
k utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon ' levy a 
tribute of m bond-service unto this day. 

22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon n make 
no bondmen : but they were men of war, and his ser- 
vants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of 
his chariots, and his horsemen. 

23 These were the chief of the officers that were 
over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which 
bare rule over the people that wrought in the work. 

24 But Pharaoh's daughter ° came up out of the 
city of David unto p her house which Solomon had built 
for her : then did he build Millo. 

25 And q three times in a year did Solomon offer 
burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar 
which he built unto the Lord, and he burnt incense 
upon the r altar that was before the Lord. So he 
finished the house. 

26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in 
8 Ezion-geber, which is beside * Eloth, on the shore of 
the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. 

27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, ship- 
men that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants 
of Solomon. 

28 And they came to u Ophir, and fetched from 
thence gold, x four hundred and twenty talents, and 
brought it to king Solomon. 

CHAP. X. 

The queen of Sheba admireth the wisdom of Solomon. 

AND when the a queen of Sheba heard of the fame 
of Solomon, concerning the b name of the Lord, 
she came c to prove him with hard questions. 

2 And she came d to Jerusalem with a very great. 
train, with camels that bare spices, and very much 
gold, and precious stones : and when she was come 
to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was 
e in her heart. 

3 And Solomon told her all her t questions : there 
was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her 
not. 

4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solo- 
mon's wisdom, and the house that he had built, 

5 And the f meat of his table, and the g sitting of 
his servants, and the t attendance of his ministers, and 
h their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by 
which he went up unto the house of the Lord ; there 
was no more spirit in her. 

6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that 



I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy 
wisdom. 

7 Howbeit I believed not the words, ' until I came, 
and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half 
was not told me : thy wisdom and prosperity k exceed- 
eth the fame which I heard. 

8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, 
1 which stand continually before thee, and that m hear 
thy wisdom. 

9 n Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted 
in thee, to set thee on the ° throne of Israel : because 
the Lord loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee 
king, p to do judgment and justice. 

1 And she q gave the king a hundred and r twenty 
talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and 
precious stones : there came no more such abundance 
of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to 
king Solomon. 

1 1 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold 
from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of 
s almug-trees, and precious stones. 

1 2 And the king made of the almug-trees t pillars 
for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, 
harps also and psalteries for singers : there came no 
such almug-trees, nor were seen unto this day. 

1 3 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba 
1 all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that 
which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty : so she 
turned, and went to her own country, she and her 
servants. 

1 4 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon 
in one year was six hundred threescore and six u talents 
of gold, 

15 Besides that he had of the || merchant-men, and 
of the traffic of the spice-merchants, and of all the 
kings x of Arabia, and of the governors of the country. 

16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets 
of beaten gold : six hundred shekels of gold went to 
one target. 

17 And he made three hundred shields of beaten 
gold ; three pound of gold went to one shield : and the 
king put them in the house of the forest of y Lebanon. 

1 8 IT Moreover, the king made a great z throne of 
t ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. 

19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the 
throne was round behind : and there vjere stays on 
either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood 
beside the stays. 

20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side 
and on the other upon the six steps : there was not 
the like made in any kingdom. 

21 And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of 
gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest, of 
Lebanon were of t pure gold ; none were of silver : it 
was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. 

22 For the king had at sea a navy of a Tharshish 
with the navy of Hiram : once in three years came 
the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold and silver, ivory, 
and || apes, and peacocks. 

23 So king Solomon b exceeded all the kings of the 
earth for riches and for wisdom. 

24 And c all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear 
his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 

25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of 
silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, 
and spices, horses, and mules, a rate d year by year. 

26 And Solomon e gathered together chariots and 
horsemen : and he had a ' thousand and lour hundred

chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he 
bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king 
at Jerusalem. 

27 And the king made s silver to be in Jerusalem as 
h stones, and cedars made he to be as the ' sycamore- 
trees that are in the vale, for abundance. 

28 And Solomon had k horses brought out of Egypt, 
and linen yarn : the king's merchants received the 
1 linen yarn at a price. 

29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt 
for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a 
hundred and fifty : and so for all the kings of the Hit- 
tites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them 
out by their means. 

CHAP. XI. 

Solomon's acts, reign, and death. 
UT king Solomon a loved b many strange women, 
(together wkh the daughter of Pharaoh,) women 
of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, 
and Hittites ; 

2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord c said 
unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, 
neither shall they come in unto you : for surely they 
will d turn away your heart after their gods. Solomon 
clave unto these in love. 

3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and 
three hundred concubines : and his wives e turned 
away his heart. 

4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was || old, 
that his wives turned away his heart after other gods : 
and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, 
as was the heart of David his father. 

5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess 
of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination 
of the Ammonites. 

6 And Solomon did evil f in the sight of the Lord, 
and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his 
father. 

7 Then did Solomon build a high place for Che- 
mosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is be- 
fore Jerusalem ; and for Molech, the abomination of 
the children of Amnion. 

8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives 
which burnt incense, and sacrificed unto their gods. 

9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because 
g his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, 
which had appeared unto him h twice, 

10 And had ' commanded him concerning this thing, 
that he should not go after other gods : but he kept 
not that which the Lord commanded. 

1 1 Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Foras- 
much as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept 
my covenant and my statutes, which I have com- 
manded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from 
thee, and will give it to thy servant. 

12 Notwithstanding, in thy days I will not do it, 
k for David thy father's sake : but'l will rend it out of 
the hand of thy son. 

1 3 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom ; 
but will give ' one tribe to thy son for David my ser- 
vant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, which I have 
chosen. 

1 4 If And the m Lord stirred up an adversary unto 
Solomon, Hadad the Edomite : he was of the king's 
seed in Edom. 

1 5 For it came to pass, when David was in n Edom, 
and Joab, the captain of the host, was gone up to bury 
the slain, after he had smitten ° every male in Edom, 



16 (For six months did Joab remain there with all 
Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom,) 

1 7 That Hadad fled, he, and certain Edomites of 
his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt ; Hadad 
being yet a little p child. 

1 8 And they arose out of q Midian, and came to 
Paran : and they took men with them out of Paran, 
and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt ; 
which gave him a house, and appointed him t victuals, 
and gave him land. 

1 9 And Hadad found t great favour in the sight of 
Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his 
own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the || queen. 

20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath 
his son, whom Tahpenes r weaned in Pharaoh's house : 
and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household, among 
the sons of Pharaoh. 

21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David 
slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the captain of 
the host, was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me 
depart, that I may go to mine own country. 

22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast 
thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go 
to thine own country ? And he answered, Nothing : 
howbeit s let me go in any wise. 

23 II And God stirred him up another adversaiy, 
Rezon the son of Eliadah, which l fled from his lord 
Hadadezer, king of u Zobah. 

24 And he gathered men unto him, and became 
captain over a band, when David x slew them of 
Zobah : and they went to Damascus, and dwelt 
therein, and reigned in Damascus. 

25 And he was an adversaiy to Israel * all the days 
of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad did : and 
he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. 

26 IT And z Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephra- 
thite of a Zereda, Solomon's servant, (whose mother's 
name was Zeruah, a widow woman,) even he b lifted 
up his hand against the king. 

27 And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand 
against the king: Solomon built c Millo, and repaired 
the breaches of the city of David his father. 

28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of 
valour : and Solomon seeing the young man that he 
was industrious, he made him ruler over all the 
t charge of the house of Joseph. 

29 And it came to pass at that time, when Jeroboam 
went out of Jerusalem, that the d prophet Ahijah the 
e Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad 
himself with a new garment : and they two were alone 
in the field : 

30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was 
on him, and f rent it in twelve pieces. 

31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces ; 
for thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I 
will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, 
and will give ten tribes to thee : 

32 But he shall have one tribe for my servant Da- 
vid's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I 
have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel : 

33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have 
worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, 
Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the 
god of the children of Ammon ; and have not walked 
in E my ways, to do that which is h right in mine eyes, 
and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did 
David his father. 

34 Howbeit t I will not take the whole kingdom

out of his hand : but I will make him prince all the 
days of his life, for David my servant's sake, whom I 
chose, because he kept my commandments and my 
statutes ; 

35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's 
hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes. 

36 And unto i his son will I give one tribe, that 
David my servant may have a t light k always before 
me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to 
put my name there. 

37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign ac- 
cording to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king 
over Israel. 

38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all 
that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and 
do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and 
my commandments, as David my servant did ; that I 
will be ' with thee, and build thee m a sure house, as I 
built for David, and will give Israel unto thee. 

39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but 
t not for ever. 

40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam : and 
Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto D Shishak 
king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of 
Solomon. 

41 IT And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all 
that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in 
the ° book of the acts of Solomon ? 

42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusa- 
lem, over all Israel, vws p forty years. 

43 And Solomon q slept with his fathers, and was 
buried in the city of David his father : and r Rehoboam 
his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAP. XII. 

Hie Israelites assemble at Shechem to crown Rehoboam. 

AND Rehoboam went to a Shechem : for all Israel 
were come to Shechem to make him king. 

2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of 
Nebat, who was yet b in Egypt, c heard of it, (for he 
was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and 
Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,) 

3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam 
and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake 
unto Rehoboam, saying, 

4 Thy father made our yoke d grievous : now, there- 
fore, make thou the grievous service of thy fadier, and 
his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we 
will serve thee. 

5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, 
then come again to me. And the people departed. 

6 And king Rehoboam e consulted with the f old 
men that stood before Solomon his father while he yet 
lived, and said, How do you advise, that I may answer 
this people ? 

7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be 
8 a servant unto b this people this day, and wilt serve 
them, and answer them, and speak ' good words to 
them, then they will be thy servants for ever. 

8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which 
they had given him, and consulted with the k young 
men that were grown up with him, and which stood 
before him ; 

9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, 
that we may answer this people, who have spoken to 
me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put 
upon us lighter ? 

10 And the young men that were grown up with 
him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak 



unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy 
father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter 
unto us ; thus shalt thou say unto them, ' My little 
finger shall be thicker than my father's loins. 

1 1 And now, whereas my father did lade you with 
a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke : my father hath 
chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with 
scorpions. 

12 IT So Jeroboam and all the people came to Re- 
hoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, say- 
ing, Come to me again the third day. 

1 3 And the king answered the people t roughly, and 
forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him ; 

1 4 And spake to them after the counsel of the young 
men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and 
m I will add to your yoke : my father also chastised you 
with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 

1 5 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the peo- 
ple ; for the t cause was from the Lord, that he might 
perform his saying, which the Lord spake by t Ahijah 
the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 

16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened 
not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, 
What portion have we in David ? neither have we in- 
heritance in the n son of Jesse : to your ° tents, O Israel : 
Now see to thine own house, David. So Israel de- 
parted unto their tents. 

1 7 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in 
the p cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 

18 Then king Rehoboam sent q Adoram, who was 
over the tribute ; and all Israel stoned him with stones, 
that he died : therefore king Rehoboam t made speed 
to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 

1 9 So Israel r rebelled against the house of David 
unto this day. 

20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that 
Jeroboam was come again, that they s sent and called 
him unto the congregation, and made him king over 
all Israel : there was none that followed the house of 
David, but the tribe of Judah * only. 

21 IT And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, 
he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of 
Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen 
men, which were u warriors, to fight against the house 
of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam 
the son of Solomon. 

22 But the word of God came unto x Shemaiah the 
y man of God, saying, 

23 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king 
of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Ben- 
jamin, and to the z remnant of the people, saying, 

24 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up nor 
fight against your brethren the children cf Israel : 
return every man to his house ; for this thing is from 
me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the 
Lord, and returned to depart, according to the word 
of the Lord. 

25 IT Then Jeroboam built a Shechem in mount 
Ephraim, and dwelt therein ; and went out from 
thence, and built b Penuel. 

26 And Jeroboam c said in his heart. Now shall the 
kingdom return to the house of David : 

27 If this people go up to do d sacrifice in the house 
of the Lord at Jerusalem, thru shall the heart of this 
people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam 
king of Judah, and they shall kill e me, and go again 
to Rehoboam king of Judah. 

28 Whereupon the king ' took counsel, and made

g two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is h too

Egypt. 

29 And he set the one in ■ Beth-el, and the other put 
he in k Dan. 

30 And this thing became a ' sin : for the people 
went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. 

31 And he made m a house of high places, and 
made priests of the lowest of n the people, which were 

not of the sons of Levi. 

32 And Jeroboam ordained v a feast in the eighth 
month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto 
the feast that is 4 in Judah, and r he offered upon the 
altar, (so did he in Beth-el,) sacrificing unto the calves 
that he had made : and he placed in Beth-el the priests 
of the high places which he had made. 

33 So he offered upon the altar which he had made 
in Beth-el, the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even 
in the month which he had 8 devised of his own heart ; 
and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel : and 
he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 Jeroboam's hand witheretli ; 6 and, at the prayer of the 

prophet, is restored. 

AND, behold, there came a a man of God b out of 
Judah c by the word of the Lord unto Beth-el : 
and Jeroboam stood by the altar d to burn incense. 

2 And he e cried f against the altar in the word of 
the Lord, and said, g O altar, altar ! thus saith the 
Lord, Behold, a child shall be born unto the house 
of David, h Josiah by name ; and upon thee shall he 
offer the priests of the high places that burn incense 
upon thee, anil men's bones shall be burnt upon thee. 

3 And he gave ' a sign the same day, saying, This 
is the sign which the Lord bath spoken ; Behold, the 
altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall 
be poured out. 

4 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard 
the saying of the man of God, which had cried against 
the altar in Beth-el. that he k put forth his hand from 
the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, 
which he put forth against him, ' dried up, so that he 
could not pull it in again to liim. 

5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured 
out from the altar, according to the sign which the 
man of God had given by the word of the Lord. 

6 And the king answered and said unto the man of 
God, m Entreat now the face of the Lord n thy God, 
and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me 
again. And the man of God ° besought the Lord, 
and the king's hand was p restored again, and became 
as it was before. 

7 And the king said unto the man of God, Come 
home with me, and t refresh thyself, and I will give 
thee q a reward. 

3 And the man of God said unto the king, If thou 
wilt give me r half thine house I will not go in with 
thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this 
place : 

9 For so was it 3 charged me by the word of the 
Lord, saying, l Eat no bread, nor drink water, u nor 
turn ae;ain by the same way that thou earnest. 

10 So he went another way, and returned not by 
the way that he came to Beth-el. 

1 1 IT Now there dwelt an old x prophet y in Beth-el ; 
and his sons came and told him all the works that the 
man of God had done that day in Beth-el : the words 



which he had spoken unto the king, them they told 
also to their father. 

1 2 And their father said unto them, What way went 
he ? For his sons had seen what way the man of God 
went which came from Judah. 

1 3 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the z ass. 
So they saddled him the ass, and he rode thereon, 

1 4 And went after the man of God, and found him 
d sitting under an oak : and he said unto him, Art thou 
the man of God that earnest from Judah ? And he said, 
I am. 

1 5 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, 
and eat bread. 

16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go 
in with thee ; neither will I eat bread nor drink water 
with thee in this place : 

1 7 For it was said to me by the word of the Lord, 
Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor 
turn again to go by the way that thou earnest. 

1 8 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou 
art ; and b an angel spake unto me by the word of the 
Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine 
house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But 
he c lied unto him. 

19 So he went d back with him, and did eat bread 
in his house, and drank water. 

20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, 
that the word of the Lord came unto the e prophet 
that brought him back : 

21 And he f cried unto the man of God that came 
from Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch 
as thou hast ° disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and 
hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy 
God commanded thee, 

22 But earnest back, and hast eaten bread and 
drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD 
did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water ; 
thy b carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy 
fathers. 

23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, 
and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the 
ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. 

24 And when he was gone, a lion ' met him by the 
way, and k slew him ; and his carcase was cast in the 
way, and the ass stood by it, the l lion also stood by 
the carcase. 

25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the car- 
case cast in the way, and the lion standing by the car- 
case : and they came and told it in the city where the 
old prophet dwelt. 

26 And when the prophet that brought him back 
from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of 
God, who was disobedient unto the word of the Lord ; 
therefore the Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, 
which hath t torn him, and slain him, according to the 
word of the Lord, which he spake unto him. 

27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the 
ass. And they saddled him. 

28 And he went, and found his carcase cast injhe 
way, and the ass and the lion standing by the car- 
case : the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn 
m the ass. 

29 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man 
of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back : 
and the old prophet came to the city, to n mourn and 
to bury him. 

30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave ; and 
they mourned over him, sayiiig, Alas, my brother !

31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, 
that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, 
then bury me in the ° sepulchre wherein the man of 
God is buried -, lay my bones beside his bones : 

32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the 
Lord against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the 
p houses of the high places which are in the cities of 
q Samaria, shall surely come to pass. 

33 IT After this thing Jeroboam r returned not from 
his evil way, t but made again of the lowest of the 
people priests of the high places : whosoever would, 
he e consecrated him, and he became one of the priests 
of the high places. 

34 And this thing became sin unto the house of 
Jeroboam, even to t cut it off, and to destroy it from 
off the face of the earth. 

CHAP. XIV. 

Jeroboam sendeth his wife to the prophet Ahijah at Shiloh. 

AT a that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam b fell 
sick. 

2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray 
thee, and c disguise thyself, that thou be not known to 
be the wife of Jeroboam ; and get thee to d Shiloh : 
behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which e told me 
that / should be king over this people. 

3 And f take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, 
and a cruse of honey, and go to him : he shall tell 
thee what shall become of the child. 

4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went 
to Shiloh ; and came to the house of Ahijah. But 
Ahijah could not see, for his eyes t were set by reason 
of his age. 

5 And g the Lord said unto Ahijah, Behold, the 
wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for 
her son, for he is sick : thus and thus shalt thou say 
unto her ; for it shall be, when she cometh in, that 
she shall feign herself to be another woman. 

6 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of 
her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, 
Come in, thou h wife of Jeroboam ; why feignest thou 
thyself to be another ? for I am sent to thee with ' heavy 
tidings. 

7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the Lord God of 
Israel, Forasmuch as I k exalted thee from among the 
people, and made thee prince over my people Israel, 

8 And ' rent the kingdom away from the house of 
David, and gave it thee ; and yet thou hast not been 
as my servant David, who kept my commandments, 
and who followed me with all his heart, to do that 
m only which was right in mine eyes ; 

9 But hast done evil n above all that were before 
thee : for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, 
and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast 
° cast me behind thy back ; 

1 Therefore, behold, p I will bring evil upon the 
q house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam 
him that r pisseth against the wall, and him that is 
e shut up, and left in Israel, and will take away the 
remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh 
away l dung, till it be all gone. 

1 1 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the 
™ dogs eat ; and him that dieth in the field shall the 
x fowls of the air eat : for the Lord hath spoken it. 

12 Arise thou, therefore, get thee to thine own 
house; and when thy feet enter into the city, the 
child shall die. 

13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury 
him : for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, 



because in him there is found y some good thing to- 
ward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam. 

14 Moreover, the Lord shall raise him up a king 
over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam 
that day : but what ? z even now. 

15 For the Lord shall smite a Israel as a reed is 
shaken in the water, and he shall b root up Israel out 
of this c good land which he gave to their fathers, and 
shall scatter them beyond the d river, because they 
have made their groves, provoking the Lord to anger. 

16 And he shall c give Israel up, because of the sins 
of Jeroboam, who did f sin, and who g made Israel to sin. 

1 7 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and 
came to h Tirzah : and when she came to the threshold 
of the door, the child died. 

1 8 And they buried him ; and all Israel mourned 
for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he 
spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet. 

19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he 
1 warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written 
in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel. 

20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two 
and twenty years : and he slept with his fathers, and 
Nadab his son reigned in his stead. 

21 IT And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned 
in Judah. Rehoboam was k forty and one years old 
when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen 
years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord did 
choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name 
there. And his mother's name was Naamah, an 
1 Ammonitess. 

22 And m Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, 
and they provoked him to "jealousy with their sins 
which they had committed, ° above all that their 
fathers had done. 

23 For they also p built them high places, and 
images, and groves, on every high hill, and under 
4 every green tree. 

24 And there were also Sodomites in the land ; 
and they did according to all the abominations of the 
nations which the Lord cast out before the children 
of Israel. 

25 And it came to pass, in the r fifth year of king 
Rehoboam, that 8 Shishak king of Egypt came up 
against Jerusalem : 

26 And he took away the ' treasures of the house 
of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house ; 
he even took away all : and he took away all the 
shields u of gold which Solomon had made. 

27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen 
shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief 
of the t guard, which kept the door of the king's house. 

28 And it was so, when the king went into the 
house of the Lord, that the guard bare them, and 
brought them back into the guard-chamber. 

29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all 
that he did, are they not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? 

30 And there was K war between Rehoboam and 
Jeroboam y all their df.ys. 

31 And Rehoboam z slepl with his fathers, and was 
buried with his fatners in the 'city of David. And 
his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. 
And b Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

And his 
mother's name was b Maachah, the daughter of Abi 
shalom. 

3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which 
he had done before him : and his heart was c not per 
feet with the Lord his God, as the heart of David his 
father. 

4 Nevertheless, d for David's sake, did the Lord 
his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his 
son after him, and to establish Jerusalem : 

5 Because David did that which was e right in the 
eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside f from any 
thing that he commanded him g all the days of his 
life, h save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 

6 And there was 5 war between Rehoboam and 
Jeroboam all the days of his life. 

7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that 
he did, are they not written in the book of the Chro- 
nicles of the kings of Judah ? And there was war 
between Abijam and Jeroboam. 

8 And Abijam k slept with his fathers ; and they 
buried him in the city of David : and Asa his son 
reigned in his stead. 

9 IT And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of 
Israel reigned Asa over Judah. 

10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusa- 
lem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the 
daughter of Abishalom. 

1 1 And Asa did that which teas ' right in the eyes 
of the Lord, as did David his father. 

12 And he took away the m Sodomites out of the land, 
and removed all the idols that n his fathers had made. 

1 3 And also Maachah ° his mother, even her he 
removed from being queen, because she had made an 
p idol in a grove : and Asa destroyed her idol, and 
burnt it by the brook q Kidron. 

1 4 But the r high places were not removed : never- 
theless Asa's heart was perfect with the Lord all his 
days. 

1 5 And he brought in the things which his father 
had s dedicated, and the things which himself had 
dedicated, into the house of the Lord, silver, and 
gold, and vessels. 

16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha 
king of Israel l all their days. 

17 And Baasha king of Israel "went up against 
Judah, and built x Ramah, that he might not suffer 
any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 

18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that 
were left in the treasures of the house of the Lord, 
and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered 
them into the hand of his servants : and king Asa sent 
them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of 
y Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at z Damascus, 
saying, 

19 There is a "league between me and thee, and 
between my father and thy father : behold, I have sent 
unto thee a present of silver and gold ; b come and 
break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he 
may depart from me. 

20 So Ben-hadad c hearkened unto king Asa, and 
sent the captains of the hosts which he had against 
the cities of Israel, and smote Ijpn, and Dan, and 
d Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the 
landofNaphtali. 

21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard there- 
of, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in 
e Tirzah. 




I. KINGS. Jehu's prophecy against Baasha. 

22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout 
all Judah ; (none was exempted ;) and they took 
away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, 
wherewith Baasha had builded : and king Asa built 
with f them Geba of Benjamin, and g Mizpah. f Josh. 21, 

23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his g 7 j osk x ^ 
h might, and all that he did, and the cities which he 26. 
built, are they not written in the book of the Chroni- h 
cles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless, in the time 
of his ' old age he was diseased in his feet. 

24 And Asa k slept with his fathers, and was buri- 
ed with his fathers in the city of David his father : and 
1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead. 

25 IF And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to 
reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of 
Judah, and reigned over Israel two years. 

26 And he did m evil in the sight of the Lord, and 
walked in the n way of his father, and in his sin where- 
with he made Israel to sin.

and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou f Chr 16 7

that he did in the t sight of the Lord, in provoking him 
to anger with m the work of his hands, in being like 
the house of Jeroboam ; and because n he killed him. 

8 IT In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of 
Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over 
Israel in Tirzah, ° two years. 

9 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his cha- 
riots, conspired against him as he was in Tirzah, 
p drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, steward 
of his house in Tirzah. 

10 And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed 
him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of 
Judah, and q reigned in his stead. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, 
as soon as he r sat on his throne, that he slew all the 
house of Baasha : he left him not one that s pisseth 
against a wall, neither of his t kinsfolks nor of his 
friends. 

12 Thus did Zimri destroy * all the house of Baasha, 
according to the word of the Lord, which he spake 
against Baasha t by Jehu the prophet : 

1 3 For u all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah 
his son, by which they sinned, and by which they 
made Israel to sin, in provoking the Lord God of 
Israel to anger with their * vanities. 

14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that 
he did, are they not written in the book of the Chroni- 
cles of the kings of Israel ? 

15 IF In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king 
of Judah did Zimri reign y seven days in Tirzah. 
And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, 
which belonged to the Philistines. 

16 And the people that were encamped heard say, 
Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king : 
wherefore all Israel made % Omri, the captain of the 
host, king over Israel that day in the camp. 

17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all 
Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 

1 3 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the 
city was taken, that he went into the palace of the 
king's house, and a burnt the king's house over him 
with fire, and died, 

1 9 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the 
b sight of the Lord, in walking in the c way of Jero- 
boam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin. 

20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his trea- 
son that he wrought, are they not written in the book 
of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

21 IT Then were the people of Israel divided t into 
two parts : half of the people followed Tibni the son 
of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri. 

22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed 
against the people that followed Tibni the son of 
Ginath : so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. 

23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah 
began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years : six 
years reigned he in Tirzah. 

24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for 
two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called 
the name of the city which he built, after the name of 
Shemer, owner of the hill, d Samaria. 

25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord, 
and e did worse than all that were before him. 

26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the 
fcU. 15, 2U. son f Nebat, and f in his sin wherewith he made Is- 
rael to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel to 
anger with their vanities.

4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook ; 
and I have c commanded the d ravens to feed thee 
there. 

5 So he went, and did according e unto the word e Pro*. 3, 5. 
of the Lord : for he went and f dwelt by the brook f ch. w^! 
Cherith, that is before Jordan. 

6 And the ravens brought him g bread and flesh in gHab.3,17, 
the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening : and 
he drank of the brook. 

7 And it came to pass, after a while, that the brook 
dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 

8 And h the word of the Lord came unto him, 
saying, 

9 Arise, get thee to ' Zarephath, which belongeth to 
Zidon, and dwell there : behold, I have k commanded 
a widow woman there to sustain thee. 

10 So he arose, and went to Zarephath. And when Psul "' 24 ' ' 
he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow 
woman was there gathering of sticks : and he called 
to her, and said, ' Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water 
in a vessel, that I may drink. 

1 1 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to 
her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread 
in thine hand. 

12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I 
have not •" a cake, but a handful of meal in a barrel, 
and a little oil in a cruse : and, behold, I am gather- 
ing two sticks, that 1 may go in and dress it for me 
and my son, that we may " eat it, and die. « 

13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not ; go, and do 
as thou hast said : but make me thereof a little cake 
first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and 
for thy son :

14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, ° The 
barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse 
of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain 
upon the earth. 

1 5 And she went, and did p according to the saying 
of Elijah : and she, and he, and q her house, did eat 
many days. 

16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did 
the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, 
which he spake by Elijah. 

1 7 And it came to pass, after these things, that the 
son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick ; 
and his sickness was so sore, that there was no t breath 
left in him. 

18 And she said unto Elijah, t What have I to do 
with thee, O thou r man of God ? art thou come unto 
me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son ? 

1 9 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And 
he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into 
a s loft where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 

20 And l he cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord 
u my God, hast thou also brought * evil upon the widow 
with whom y I sojourn, by slaying her son ? 

21 And he z stretched himself upon the child a three 
times, and cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord 
my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into 
him again. 

22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah, and the 
soul of the child came into him again, and he b revived. 

23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him 
down out of the chamber into the house, and deliver- 
ed him unto c his mother : and Elijah said, See, thy 
son liveth! 

24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now d by this I 
know that thou art a man of God, and that the word 
of the Lord in thy mouth is truth. 

CHAP. XVIII. 

Elijah, by prayer obtaining rain, follow eth Ahab to Jezreel. 

AND it came to pass, after a many days, that the 
word of the Lord came to Elijah in the h third 
year, sayuig, Go shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will 
c send rain upon "' the earth. 

2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. 
And there was a sore famine in e Samaria. 

3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the 
f governor of his house. (Now Obadiah 6 feared the 
Lord greatly : 

4 For it was so, when Jezebel "cut off the prophets 
of the Lord, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, 
and hid them by fifty in a cave, and j fed them with 
bread and water.) 

5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, 
unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks : per- 
adventure we may find k grass to save the horses and 
mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts. 

6 So they divided the land between them, to pass 
throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, 'and 
Obadiah went another way by himself. 

7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah 
met him : and m he knew him, and " fell on his face, 
and said, Art thou that °my lord Elijah? 

8 And he answered him, I am : go, tell thy lord, 
p Behold, Elijah is here. 

9 And he said, q What have I sinned, that thou 
wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, 
to slay me ? 

10 r As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation 
or kingdom whither my lord hath not sent to seek 



thee : and when they said, He is not there, he took an 
oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee 
not. 

1 1 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, 
Elijah is here. 

12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone 
from thee, that the Spirit of the Lord shall s carry 
thee whither I know not ; and so when I come and 
tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me : 
but I * thy servant fear the Lord from my youth. 

1 3 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jeze- 
bel slew the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hun- 
dred men of the Lord's prophets by fifty in a cave, 
and fed them with bread and water ? 

1 4 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, 
Elijah is, here : and he shall slay me. 

15 And Elijah said, As the "Lord of hosts liveth, 
before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto 
him to-day. 

16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him : 
and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 

1 7 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, 
that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he Mhat troubleth 
Israel ? 

1 8 And he answered, y I have not troubled Israel ; 
but 7 thou and a thy father's house, in that ye have 
forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou 
hast followed Baalim. 

19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel 
unto mount b Carmel, and the c prophets of Baal four 
hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the u groves four 
hundred, which e eat at Jezebel's table. 

20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and 
gathered the f prophets together unto mount Carmel. 

21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, 
How long E halt ye between two opinions ? if the 
Lord be h God, follow him : but if i Baal, then follow 
him. And the people answered him not a word. 

22 Then said Elijah unto the people, k I, even I 
only, remain a prophet of the Lord ; but Baal's pro- 
phets are : four hundred and fifty men. 

23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks ; and 
let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it 
in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under : 
and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, 
and put no fire under: 

24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and 1 
will call on the name of the Lord : and the God that 
answereth m by fire, let him be God. And all the peo- 
ple answered and said, It is well spoken. 

25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, 
Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it 
first ; for ye are many : and call on the name of your 
gods, but put no fire under : 

26 And they took the bullock which was given 
them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of 
Baal, from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, 
hear us ' But there was D no voice, nor any that an- 
swered. And they leaped upon the altar which Mas 
made. 

27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah "mock- 
ed them, and said, Cry aloud ; for he is a god : either 
he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, 
or peradventure he p sleepeth, and must be awaked. 

28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves, after 
their q manner, with knives and lancets, till r the blood 
gushed out upon them. 

29 And it came to pass, when mid-day was past,

and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the 
evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any 
to answer, nor any that s regarded. 

30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near 
unto me. And all the people came near unto him. 
And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken 
down. 

31 And Elijah took * twelve stones, according to 
the u number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto 
whom the word of the Lord came, saying, * Israel 
shall be thy name : 

32 And with the stones he built an altar y in the 
name of the Lord : and he made a trench about the 
altar, t as great as would contain two measures of seed. 

33 And he put the wood z in order, and cut the bul- 
lock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, 
Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt- 
sacrifice, and on the wood. 

34 And he said, Do it the second time : and they 
did it the second time. And he said, Do it the a third 
time : and they did it the third time. 

35 And the water ran round about the altar ; and he 
filled the b trench also with water. 

36 And it came to pass, at the time of the offering 
of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came 
near, and said, c Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and 
of Israel, d let it be known this day that thou art God 
in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have 
done all these things at thy word. 

37 e Hear me, O Lord, hear me ; that this people 
may know that thou art the Lord God, and that s thou 
hast turned their heart back again. 

38 Then E the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed 
the burnt-sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and 
the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 

39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on 
their faces : and they said, h The Lord, he is the God ; 
the Lord, he is the God. 

40 And Elijah said unto them, ! Take the prophets 
of Baal ; k let not one of them escape. And they 
took them: and 'Elijah brought them down to the 
brook m Kishon, and "slew them there. 

41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, ° Get thee up, eat 
and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 

42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And 
Elijah went up to the top p of Carmel ; and he cast 
himself down upon the earth, and q put his face be- 
tween his knees, 

43 And said to his servant, r Go up now, look to- 
ward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, 
There is nothing. And he said, Go again B seven times. 

44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he 
said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the 
sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say 
unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, 
that the rain stop thee not. 

45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the 
heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there 
was * a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went u to 
Jezreel. 

46 And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah : and 
he x girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the 
entrance of y Jezreel. 

CHAP. XIX. 

Elisha, taking leave of his friends, followeth Elijah. 

AND Ahab told Jezebel a all that Elijah had done, 
and withal, how he had slain h all the prophets 
with the sword. 



2 Then Jezebel c sent a messenger unto Elijah, 
saying, u So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I 
make not thy life as the life of one of them by e to- 
morrow about this time. 

3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went f for 
his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to 
Judah, and left his servant there. 

4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wil- 
derness, and came and sat down under a juniper-tree : 
and he requested for himself that he might die ; and 
said, It is enough •, now, O Lord, g take away my 
life ; for I am not better than my fathers. 

5 And as he lay and h slept under a juniper-tree, 
behold, then ' an angel touched him, and said unto 
him, Arise, and eat. 

6 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake 
baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. 
And he did eat and drink, and t laid him down again. 

7 And the angel of the Lord came again the 
second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and 
eat ; because the journey is k too great for thee. 

8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went 
1 in the strength of that meat m forty days and forty 
nights, unto n Horeb the mount of God. 

9 And he came thither unto ° a cave, and lodged 
there ; and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, 
and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 

10 And he said, I have been very p jealous for the 
Lord God of hosts : for the children of Israel have 
forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and 
q slain thy prophets with the sword : and r I, even I 
only, am left ; and they seek my life, to take it away. 

1 1 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount 
before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, 
and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and 
brake in pieces the rocks, before the Lord ; but the 
Lord was not in the wind : and after the wind an 
earthquake ; but the Lord was not in the earthquake : 

12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord 
was not in the fire : and after the fire a still small voice. 

13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he 
3 wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and 
stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, 
there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest 
thou here, Elijah ? 

14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the 
Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel 
have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, 
and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I, even 
1 only, am left ; and they seek my life, to take it away. 

15 And the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy 
way to the l wilderness of Damascus : and when thou 
comest, anoint u Hazael to be king over Syria. 

16 And * Jehu the son ofNimshi shalt thou anoint 
to be king over Israel : and y Elisha the son of Sha- 
phat, of '■ Abel-meholah, shalt thou anoint to be pro- 
phet in thy room. 

1 7 And' it shall come to pass, thai him that escapeth 
the sword of a Hazael shall b Jehu slay; and him that 
escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall c Elisha slay. 

18 Yet I have d left me seven thousand ill Israel, 
'all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and 
every mouth which hath not f kissed him. 

19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son 
of Shaphat, who was g ploughing with twelve yoke of 
oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah 
passed by him, and cast his h mantle upon him. 

20 And he l left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and

21 And he returned back from him, and took a

CHAP. XX. 

By the direction of the prophet the Syrians are slain. 

AND a Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all 
his host together : and there were b thirty and two 
kings with him, and horses and chariots : and he went 
up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it. 

2 And he c sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel 
into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad, 

3 d Thy silver and thy gold is mine ; thy wives also 
and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine. 

4 And the king of Israel answered and said, My 
lord, O king, according to thy saying, e I am thine, 
and all that I have. 

5 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus 
speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, Although I have sent 
unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and 
diy gold, and thy wives, and thy children ; 

6 Yet I will send my servants unto thee to-morrow 
about this time, and they shall search thine house, and 
the houses of thy servants ; and it shall be, that what- 
soever is t pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in 
their hand, and take it away. 

7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders r of 
the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how 
this man seeketh g mischief: for he sent unto me for 
my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and 
for my gold, and 1 1 denied him not. 

3 And all the elders and all the people said unto 
him, Hearken not unto him, h nor consent. 

9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben- 
hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send 
for to thy servant at the first I will do : but this thing 
I may not do. And the messengers departed, and 
brought him word again. 

10 And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, ' The 
gods do so unto me, and more also, if the k dust of 
Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people 
that t follow me. 

1 1 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell 
him, l Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast

12 And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard 
this message, as he tvas m drinking, he and the kings 
in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set 
yourselves in array : and they set themselves in array 
against the city. 

13 And, behold, there n came a prophet unto Ahab 
king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hast 
thou seen all this ° great multitude ? behold, I will de- 
liver it into thine hand this day ; and thou shalt r know 
that I am the Lord. 

1 4 And Ahab said. By whom ? And he said, Thus 
saith the Lord, Even by the q young men of the prin- 
ces of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order 
the battle 1 And he answered, r Thou. 

1 5 Then he numbered the young men of the princes 
of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thir- 
ty-two : and after them he numbered all the people, 
even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand. 

16 And they went out s at noon : but Ben-hadad

was drinking himself * drunk in the pavilions, he and 
the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him. 

1 7 And the young men of the princes of the pro- v ^v - ^ / 
vinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and p^.yj'^ 
they told him, saying, There are men come out of 5. 
Samaria. 

18 And he said, Whether they be come out for 
peace, take them alive ; or whether they be come out 
for wat, u take them alive. 

1 9 So these young men of the princes of the pro- 
vinces came out of the city, and the army which fol- 
lowed them. 

20 And they slew || every one his man : and the II That is, 
Syrians x fled ; and Israel pursued them : and Ben- pi%f£ ba

horsemen. xPs.33.i6. 

21 And y the king of Israel went out, and smote yverseifc 
the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a 
great slaughter. 

22 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and 
z said unto him, Go, a strengthen thyself, and mark * 2 Kings 6, 
and see what thou doest : for at the b return of the ® P ^; 2 7, i. 
year the king of Syria will come up against thee. Prov.20,'i8. 

23 And the servants of the king of Syria said unto ^2 Sam'. 11' 
him, Their gods are gods of the c hills, therefore they 1. 
were stronger than we: but let us fight against them gchr 86 1 * 
in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. 10. 

24 And do this thing : d Take the kings away, every Is \% IV 
man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms : isa. 42, 8. 

25 And number thee an army like the army that J Job 5 » 13 » 
thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot : prov. 21,3a. 
and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely 
we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened 
unto their voice, and did so. 

26 And it came to pass, at the return of the year, 
that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up 
e to Aphek, to fight against Israel. 

27 And the children of Israel were numbered, and 
were all present, and went against them : and the 
children of Israel pitched before them like two little 
flocks of kids ; but the Syrians f filled the country

28 And there came 6 a man of God, and spake unto t 6 ^^ fi 
the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord, h Be- 22. 
cause the Syrians have said, The Lord is God of the jj 61 ^ 2 ^ 
hills, but he is not God of the valleys; therefore will & 42, a. 
I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and 
ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

29 And they pitched one over against the other 
'seven days; and 50 it was, that in the seventh day i Josh. 6, 15. 
the battle was joined : and the children of Israel slew p/ 6 ] 1 ^ 2 ^ 
of the Syrians k a hundred thousand footmen in one 
day. 

30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city ; and 
there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of 
the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and 
came into the city, t into an inner chamber. 

31 And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we 
have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are chamber, 
merciful kings : let us, I pray thee, ] put sackcloth on D h a ' n 22 4 2 3 7

32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put 
ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, 

and said, m Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, m verse 4

33 Now the men did diligently observe whether

said, Go ye. bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth 
to him ; and he caused him to come up into the 
chariot. 

34 And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities which 
my father took from n thy father I will restore ; and 
thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my 
father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send 
thee away with this covenant. So he made a cove- 
nant with him, and sent liim away. 

35 And a certain man of the ° sons of the prophets 
said unto his neighbour in the word of the Lord, 
Smite me, I pray thee. And the man p refused to 
|| smite him. 

36 Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not 
obeyed q the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as thou 
art departed from me, r a lion shall slay thee. And 
as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, 
and slew him. 

37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite 
me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in 
smiting he wounded him. 

38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king 
by the way, and s disguised himself with ashes upon 
his face. 

39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the 
king: and 'he said, Thy servant went out into the 
midst of the battle ; and, behold, a man turned aside, 
and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man : 
if by any means he be missing, then shall thy t life be 
for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver. 

40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he 
was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, u So 
shall thy judgment be ; thyself hast decided it. 

41 And he hasted, and took the ashes away from 
his face ; and the king of Israel discerned him that he 
teas of the prophets. 

42 And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 
Because thou hast let go out of thy hand t a man 
whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore x thy 
life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people. 

43 And the king of Israel went to his house heavy 
and y displeased, and came to Samaria.

Elijah denounceth judgments against .lhab and Jezebel. 

AND it came to pass a after these things, that Na- 
both the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in 
b Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 

2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me 
thy c vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, 
because it is near unto my house ; and 1 will give thee 
for it a better vineyard than it : or, if it seem good to 
thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. 

3 And Naboth said to Ahab, d The Lord forbid it 
me, that I should give the inheritance o( my fathers 
unto thee. 

4 And Ahab came into his house e heavy and dis- 
pleased, because of the word which Naboth the Jez- 
reelite had spoken to him ; for he had said. I will not 
give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid 
him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, 
and would eat no bread. 

5 But Jezebel f his wife came to him, and said unto 
him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no 
bread ? 

€ And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Na- 
both the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy 
vineyard for money j or else, if it please thee, I will 



give thee another vineyard for it : 
will not give thee my vineyard.

8 So she wrote letters in Allah's ' name, and sealed iEsth.3,12. 
them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the k elders * Deut. 21, 
and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with f" nd ^ 8 ]4 ^ 
Naboth. '

9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim 
1 a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people ; 

1 And set m two men, sons n of Belial, before him, ^ 
to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst t bias- Isaiah 58, 4. 
pheme God and the king: and then carry him °out, l^Icm? 
and p stone him, that he may die. m Deut'i3J 

1 1 And the men of his city, even the elders and the ^' Deut ]3

Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in j^"'^"' 
the letters which she had sent unto them : oJosh.7^24.

13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, Prov - L 19- 
and sat before him : and the men of Belial witnessed ? fa^ 1 ^ 7 ' 
against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of 20. 

the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and acus 2 ^ 2 ' 

the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, 

and r stoned him with stones, that he died. r Num. 16, 

14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is Deu^aoT' 
stoned, and is dead. 10. 

1 5 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Josh- 7 ' 24> 
Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said 

to Ahab, Arise, s take possession of the vineyard of ■ verses 7. 
Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee 13 ' 
for money : for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 

16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that 
Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to 
the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take pos- 
session of it. 

1 7 And the l word of the Lord came to u Elijah 
the Tishbite, saying, 

1 8 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, Heb.'3, 13. 
which is in Samaria : behold, he is in the vineyard of " cb " '• 17- 
Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. 

19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus 

saith the Lord, x Hast thou killed, and also taken *2Sam. 12, 

possession ? And thou shalt speak unto him. saying. 

Thus saith the Lord, In the place where dogs licked 

the blood of Naboth, shall y dogs lick thy blood, even jMwwel* 

thine. 

20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me. 
O z mine enemy ? And he answered, I have found 
thee ; because thou hast a sold thyself to work evil in 
the sight of the Lord. 

21 Behold, I will b bring evil upon thee, and will ™g£ |J

CHAP. XXII. 

Ahab. seduced by false prophets, is slain at Ramoth-gilead. 
ND they continued a three years without war 
between Syria and Israel. 

2 And it came to pass, in b the third year, that 
Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king 
of Israel. 

3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, 
Know ye that c Ramoth in Gilead is d ours, and we be 
still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of 
Syria ? 

4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt e thou go 
with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead ? And Jehosha- 

f 2 Kings 3, ph a t said t th e king of Israel, f I am as thou art, my 
2 chron. 8, people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. 

5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, 
g Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to-day. 

6 Then the king of Israel gathered the h prophets 
together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, 
Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I 
forbear ? And they said, Go up ; for \ the Lord shall 
deliver it into tire hand of the king. 

7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a pro- 
phet of the Lord besides, that we might inquire of 
him ? 

8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, 
There is k yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by 
whom ' we may inquire of the Lord : but m I hate 
him ; for he doth not prophesy D good concerning me, 
but ° evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king 
say so. 

9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and 
said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah. 

1 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king 
of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on p their 
robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of 
Samaria : and all the prophets *» prophesied before 
them. 

1 1 And Zedekiah the T son of Chenaanah made 
him 9 horns of iron : and he said, Thus saith the Lord, 
With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou 
have consumed them. 

1 2 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go 
up to Ramoth-gilead, and l prosper : for the Lord shall 

prov. s, 25. deliver it into the king's hand. 

1 3 And the messenger that was gone to call Mi- 
caiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words 

a Hos. 7, 3. of the prophets declare good unto the king with u one 
mouth : let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of 
one of them, and speak that which is good. 

x i Cor. n, _ 14 And Micaiah said, A s the Lord liveth, what the 

23. Lord saith unto me, x that will I speak. 




Micaiali's prophecy. 

1 5 So he came to the king. And the king said unto 
him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to 
battle, or shall we forbear ? And he answered him, 
y Go, and prosper : for the Lord shall deliver it into y ch. 13 
the hand of the king. 

16 And the king said unto him, How many times 
shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that 
which is true in the name of the Lord ? 

17 And he said, L I saw all Israel scattered upon z Ezek. 1,4. 
the hills, a as sheep that have not a shepherd : and the ^^! h 0, \\- 
Lord said, These have no master ; let them return 7. 
every man to his .house in peace. 

1 8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, 
Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good 
concerning me, but evil ? 

1 9 And he said, Hear thou, therefore, the word of 
the Lord : I saw the Lord b sitting an his throne, and b ha. 6, 1. 
all c the host of heaven d standing by him, on his right ^ p "' \' l' 
hand and on his left. 20, 21. ' 

20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, dDan7 .io 
that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead ? And 
one said on this manner, and another said on that 
manner. 

21 And there came forth e a spirit, and stood before e v erse 22. 
the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. 2 ThLsf'I* 

22 And the Lord said unto him. Wherewith? And 9. 11. 
he said, I will go forth, and I will be f a lying spirit in fHos.4,13. 
the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, * Thou HStaiX 
shalt persuade him, and prevail also : b go forth, and Rev. 12,' 9. 

do SO. ^Psal.109, 

23 Now therefore, behold, ' the Lord hath put a 2 Thess. 2, 
lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and h 2 Sam 16 
the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee. 10. 

24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, ^'t'?; 
and smote Micaiah on the k cheek, and said, ' Which 9. ze 
way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak ^°. m - J< 2 £ 

UntO thee i Markl4,65. 

25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt m see in ' | Chr - 18 « 
that day, when thou shalt go n into an inner chamber m R om . 7, 
to hide thyself. 23. 

26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and nch - 20 ' 30 - 
carry him back unto Amon the ° governor of the city, 9 2 Chr. 26, 
and to Joash the king's son ; 

27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow 
in the prison, and feed him with p bread of afflic- 
tion, and with water of affliction, until I come in 
peace. 

28 And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, 
the Lord hath q not spoken by me. And he said, 
1 Hearken, O people, every one of you. 

29 So the king of Israel, and 8 Jehoshaphat the s 2 chr. 18, 
king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead. '■ 

30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I 
will l disguise myself, and enter into the battle ; but put 
thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised 
himself, and went into the battle. 

31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and 
two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, 
Fight neither with u small nor great, save only with 
the king of Israel. 

32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the p rov . i 3) 2o.

and smote the king of Israel between the joints of 
the harness : wherefore he said unto the driver of his 
cliariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the 
host ; for I am t wounded. 

35 And the battle increased that day ; and the king 
stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and

died at even : and the blood ran out of the wound into 

the midst of the chariot. 

36 And there went b a proclamation throughout the 
host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every 
man to his c city, and every man to his own country. 

37 So the king d died, and was brought to Samaria ; 
and they buried the king e in Samaria. 

38 And one washed the chariot in the pool of Sa- 
maria, and the dogs licked up his blood, (and they 
washed his armour,) according f unto the word of the 
Lord which he spake. 

39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that 
he did, and the t ivory house which he made, and all 
the cities that he built, are they not written in the 
book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

40 So Ahab g slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah 
his son reigned in his stead. 

41 IT And h Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to 
reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of 
Israel. 

42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when 
he began to reign ; and he reigned ' twenty and five 
years in Jerusalem. And k his mother's name was 
Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi. 

43 And he walked ' in all the ways of Asa his 
father ; he turned not aside from it, doing that which 
was right in the eyes of the Lord : nevertheless m the

high places were not taken away ; for the people 
offered and burnt incense yet in the high places. 

44 And Jehoshaphat "made peace with the king of 
Israel. 

45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and 
his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are 
they not written in the °book of the Chronicles of the 
kings of Judah ? 

46 And the remnant of the p Sodomites, which re- 
mained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of 
the land. 

47 There was then q no king in Edom : a deputy 
was king. 

48 Jehoshaphat made r ships of Tharshish to go to 
Qphir for gold ; but they went not : for the ships were 
broken at s Ezion-geber. 

49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Je- 
hoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in 
the ships : but Jehoshaphat * would not.

CHAP. I. 

Elijah bringeth fire from heaven upon them whom Ahaziah 
tent to apprehend him. 

THEN a Moab b rebelled against Israel after c the 
death of Ahab. 

2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his 
upper chamber that was in Samaria, and d was sick : 
and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, in- 
quire of Baal-zebub, the god of e Ekron, whether I 
shall recover of this disease. 

3 But the angel of the Lord said to r Elijah the 
Tishbite, s Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the 
king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because 
there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of 
Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron ? 

4 Now, therefore, thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt 
not come down from that bed on which thou art gone 
up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah h departed. 

5 And when the messengers turned back unto him, 
he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back ? 

6 And they said unto him, There came a man up 
to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the 
king that, sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the 
Lord, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, 
that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of 
Ekron ? therefore thou shalt not come down from 
that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely 
die. 

7 And he said unto them, What manner of man 



wa& he which came up to meet you, and told you these 
words ? 

8 And they answered him, He was a hairy ' man, 
and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And 
he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. 

9 Then the king k sent unto him ' a captain m of 
fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him ; (and, 
behold, he sat on the top of a " hill ;) and he spake 
unto him, Thou man of ° God, the king hath said, 
Come down. 

10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of 
fifty, If 1 be a man of God, then p let fire come down 
from q heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And 
there ' came down fire from heaven, and consumed 
him and his fifty. 

1 1 t Again also he sent unto him another captain of 
fifty with his fifty. And he 9 answered and said unto 
him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come 
down ' quickly. 

12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be 
a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and 
consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came 
down from heaven, and consumed him and Ins fifty. 

13 And he sent u again a captain of the third lilly 
with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, 
and came and x fell on his knees before Elijah, and 
besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I 
pray thee, let my 1 life, and the life of these fifty thy 
servants, be precious in thy sight.

14 Behold, there came fire clown from heaven, and 
burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with 
their fifties : therefore let my life now be precious in 
thy sight. 

15 And the angel of the Lord y said unto Elijah, 
Go z down with him ; be not afraid of him. And he 
arose, and went down with him unto the king. 

16 And he said unto him, Thus saith a the Lord, 
Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of 
Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, (is it not because there 
is no God in Israel to inquire of his word ?) therefore 
thou shalt not come down oft' that bed on which thou 
art gone up, but shalt surely die. 

17 So he died, according to the word of the Lord, 
which Elijah had spoken : and b Jehoram reigned in 
his stead, in the c second year of Jehoram the son of 
Jehoshaphat, king of Judah ; because he had no son. 

18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he 
did, are they not written in the book of the d Chroni- 
cles of the kings of Israel ? 

CHAP. II. 

9 Elijah is taken up by a fiery chariot into heaven. 23 Bears 
destroy the children that mocked Elisha. 

AND it came to pass, when the Lord would take 
up Elijah a into heaven by a whirlwind, that 
Elijah went with b Elisha from c Gilgal. 

2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry d here, I pray 
thee ; for the Lord hath sent me to e Beth-el. And 
Elisha said unto him, f As the Lord liveth, and g as 
thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went 
down to Beth-el. 

3 And the h sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el 
came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou 
that the Lord will take away thy master from thy 
1 head to-day? And he said, Yea, I know it} hold 
you your peace. 

4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I 
pray thee ; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. 
And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liv- 
eth, I will not leave thee. So they came to k Jericho. 

5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jeri- 
cho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou 
that the Lord will take away thy master from thy 
head to-day 1 And he answered, Yea, I know it ; 
hold you your peace. 

6 And Elijah said unto him, ' Tarry, I pray thee, 
here ; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he 
said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will 
not leave thee. And they two went on. 

7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and 
stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan. 

8 And Elijah took his m mantle, and wrapped it 
together, and D smote the waters, and they were divi- 
ded hither and thither ; so that they two went over on 
° dry ground. 

9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, 
that Elijah said unto Elisha, * Ask what I shall * do 
for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And 
Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy 
spirit be upon me. 

10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: 
nevertheless, r if thou see me when I am taken from 
thee, it shall be so unto thee ; but if not, it shall not 
be so. 

1 1 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and 
talked, that, behold, there appeared a s chariot of fire, 

aiK } £r- S6S of fire ' and P arted tJi em both asunder ; 
and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into * heaven. 



1 2 And Elisha saw it, and he u cried, My father, 
my father ! the * chariot of Israel, and the horsemen 
thereof. And he y saw him no more : and he took 
hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. 

13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell 
from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of 
Jordan ; 

14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from 
him, and z smote the waters, and said, Where is the 
Lord God of Elijah ? And when he also had smitten 
the waters, they parted hither and thither : and Elisha 
went over. 

1 5 And when the sons of the prophets, which were 
to view at Jericho, saw him, they said, The spirit of 
Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet 
him, and a bowed themselves to the ground before him : 

16 And they said unto him, Behold now, there be 
with thy servants fifty strong men ; let them go, we 
pray thee, and seek thy master; lest peradventure 
the Spirit of the Lord hath taken him up, and cast 
him upon some b mountain, or into some valley. And 
he said, Ye shall not send. 

1 7 And when they urged him till he t was ashamed, 
he said, Send. They sent, therefore, fifty men ; and 
they sought three days, but found him not. 

1 8 And when they came again to him, (for he tar- 
ried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto 
you, Go not ? 

1 9 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Be- 
hold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is c pleasant, 
as my lord seeth : but the d water is naught, and the 
ground e barren. 

20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put 
f salt therein. And they brought it to him. 

2 1 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, 
and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the 
Lord, I have E healed these waters ; there shall not 
be from thence any more death or barren land. 

22 So the waters were healed unto this day, ac- 
cording to the saying of Elisha which he spake. 

23 And he went up from thence unto h Beth-el : 
and as he was going up by the way, there came forth 
little ' children out of the city, k and mocked him, and 
said unto him, Go up, thou bald-head ; go up, thou 
bald-head. 

24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and 
1 cursed them in the m name of the Lord. And 
there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and 
tare forty and two children of them. 

25 And he went from thence to mount n Carmel ; 
and from thence he returned to ° Samaria.

against the king of 



A miraculous supply of waiir. 

the king of Moab * rebelled 
Israel. 

6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same 
time, and k numbered all Israel. 

7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of 
Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled 

11 King 9 22, against me : 1 wilt thou go with me against Moab to 

Kings battle ? And he said, m I will go up : I am as thou art, 

my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses. 

8 And he said, Which way shall we go up ? And he 
answered, The way through the " wilderness of Edom. 

9 So the king of Israel went, and the ° king of Ju- 
dah, and the king of Edom : and they fetched a com- 
pass of seven days' journey : and there was no water 
for the host, and for the cattle t that followed them. 

10 And the king of Israel said, Alas ! that p the 
Lord hath called these three kings together, to deliver 
them into the hand of Moab ! 

1 1 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a q pro- 
phet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord 
by him ? And one of the king of Israel's servants an- 
swered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, 
which poured water on the hands of Elijah. 

12 And Jehoshaphat said, r The word of the Lord 
is with him. So the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, 
and the king of Edom, 8 went down to him. 

13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, t What 
have I to do with thee ? get thee to the prophets of 
thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And 
the king of Israel said unto him, Nay : for the Lord 
hath called these three kings together, to deliver them 
into the hand of Moab. 

14 And Elisha said, ' As the Lord of hosts liveth, 
before whom I stand, surely, were it not that u I re- 
gard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, 

t Heb. if I 1 1 would not look toward thee, nor see thee. 

1 5 But now bring me x a minstrel. And it came 
to pass, when the minstrel played, that the y hand of 
the Lord came upon him. 

16 And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this 
valley t full of ditches : 

1 7 For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see % wind, 
neither shall ye see rain ; yet that valley shall be filled 
with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your a cat- 
lie, and your beasts. 

1 8 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the 
Lord: he will deliver the Moabites also into your 
hand. 

19 And ye shall b smite every fenced city, and every 
choice city, and shall c fell every good tree, and stop 
all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land 
with stones. 

20 H And it came to pass in the morning, when the 
11 meat-offering was offered, that, behold, there came 
water by the way of Edom ; and the country was 
e filled with water. 

21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings 
were come up to fight against them, they gathered all 
that were able to put on armour, and upward, and 
stood in the border. 

22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the 
sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the 
water on the other side as red as blood : 

23 And they said, This is blood : the kings

25 And they beat down the cities, and on eveiy 
good piece of land cast every man his stone, and fill- 
ed it ; and they stopped all the wells of water, and 
felled all the good trees : only in f Kir-haraseth left 
they the stones thereof; howbeit, the slingers went 
about it, and smote it. 

26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle 
was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred 
men that E drew swords, to break through even unto 
the king of Edom : but they could not. 

27 Then he took || his eldest son, that should have 
reigned in his stead, and offered h\m for a burnt-offer- 
ing upon the wall. And there was great indignation 
against Israel : And they departed from him, and re- 
turned to their own land. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Elisha multiplieth (he widow's oil. 1 8 He raiseth again 
her dead son. 

NOW there cried a certain woman of the wives of 
the a sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, a 1 Kings 
Thy servant my husband is dead ; and thou knowest 20 ' 22 ' 
that thy servant b did fear the Lord : and the creditor bp s . 73, 4. 
is come to take unto him my two sons to be c bondmen. 

2 And Elisha d said unto her, e What shall 1 do for 
thee ? tell me : what hast thou in the house ? And she 
said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house 
save f a pot of oil. 

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee g vessels abroad g eh. 3, is. 
of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels ; borrow not 

a few. 

4 And when thou art come in, thou shall h shut the 
door upon thee and upon thy ' sons, and shalt pour out 
into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that 
which is full. 

5 So she k went from him, and shut the door upon 
her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her, 
and she ' poured out. 

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were m full, 
that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. 
And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. 
And the oil n stayed. 

7 Then she ° came and told the man of God : and 
he said, Go, sell the oil, and p pay thy debt, and live 
thou and thy children of the ll rest. 

8 IT And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to 
r Shunem, where was a great 8 woman ; and she con- 
strained him to eat bread. And so it was, that, as oft 
as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. 

9 And she said ' unto her husband, Behold now, I 
perceive that this is u a holy man of God which pass- 
eth by us continually. 

10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, * on 
the wall ; and let us set for him there y a bed, and a 
table, and a stool, and a candlestick : and it shall be, 
when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. 

1 1 And it fell on a day that he came thither, and 
he turned into the chamber, and lay (here. 

12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this 
Shunammile. And when he had called her, she stood 
before him. 

13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Be- 
hold, thou hast been 'careful for us with all this care ; 
what is to be done for thee ? wouldest thou be spoken 
for "to the king, or to the captain of the host? And 
she answered, " I dwell among mine own people. 

14 And he said, What then is to be done for her?

And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath c no child, and 
her husband is old. 

15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called 
her, she stood '' in the door. 

16 And he said, About this season, according to 
the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she 
said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do e not lie unto 
thine handmaid. 

1 7 And the woman f conceived, and bare a son at 
that season that Elisha had said unto her, according 
to the time of life. 

1 8 IT And when the child was grown, it fell on a 
day that he went out to his father to the reapers. 

1 9 And he said unto his father, g My head, my head ! 
And he said to a lad, Carry him to his h mother. 

20 And when he had taken him, and brought him 
to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then 
'died. 

21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of 
the man of God, and k shut the door upon him, and 
went out. 

22 And she called unto her husband, and said, 
Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one 
of the asses, that I may l run to the man of God, and 
come again. 

23. And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to- 
day 1 it is neither m new moon nor sabbath. And she 
said, t It shall be well. 

24 Then n she saddled an ass, and said to her ser- 
vant, Drive, and go forward ; slack not thy riding for 
me, except I bid thee. 

25 So she went, and came unto the man of God to 
mount "Carmel. And it came to pass, when the 
man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi 
his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite: 

26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her ; and say 
unto her, Is it well with thee 1 is it well with thy hus- 
band ? is it well with the child ? And she answered, It 
is well. 

27 And when she came to the man of God to the 
hill, she caught him by the p feet : but Gehazi came 
near q to thrust her away. And the man of God said, 
Let her alone ; for her soul t is vexed within her : and 
the Lord hath r hid it from me, and hath not told me. 

28 Then she said, s Did I desire a son of my lord ? 
did I not say, Do not deceive me ? 

29 Then he said to Gehazi, l Gird up thy loins, and 
take u my staff in thine hand, and go thy way : if thou 
meet any man, s salute him not ; and if any salute 
thee, answer him not again : and lay my staff upon 
the face of the child. 

30 And the mother of the child said, As the Lord 
liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. 
And he arose, and y followed her. 

31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid 
the staff upon the face of the child ; but there was 
neither z voice nor hearing : wherefore he went again 
to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is a not 
awaked. 

32 And when Elisha was come into the house, be- 
hold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. 

33 He went in therefore, and h shut the door upon 
them twain, c and prayed unto the Lord. 

34 And he went up, and a lay upon the child, and 
put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his 
eyes, and his hands upon his hands ; and he stretched 
himself upon the child, and the flesh of the child waxed 



i''miii. 



35 Then he returned, and e walked in the house to 
and fro ; and went up, and stretched himself upon 
him : and the child neesed seven times, and the child 
opened his eyes. 

36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shu- 
nammite. So he called her. And when she was 
come in unto him, he said, f Take up thy son. 

37 Then she went in, and s fell at his feet, and 
bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and 
went out. 

38 IT And Elisha came again to h Gilgal, and there 
teas ' a dearth in the land, and the sons of the prophets 
were k sitting before him : and he said unto his servant, 
Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons 
of the prophets. 

39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, 
and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild 
gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the 
pot of pottage : for they l knew them not. 

40 So they poured out for the men to eat : and it 
came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that 
they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is 
m death in the pot ; and they could not eat thereof. 

41 But he said, Then bring meal. And he "cast 
it into the pot ; and he said, Pour out for the people, 
that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot. 

42 And there came a man from ° Baal-shalisha, 
and p brought the man of God bread of the q first-fruits, 
twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the 
husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, 
that they may eat. 

43 And his servitor said, r What, should I set this 
before a hundred men ? He said again, Give the peo- 
ple, that they may eat : for thus saith the Lord, They 
shall s eat, and shall leave thereof 

44 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and 
1 left thereof according to the word of the Lord.

Naaman is sent to Samaria to be cured of his leprosy. 

NOW Naaman, captain of the host of the king of 
Syria, was a a great man with his master, and 
honourable ; because b by him the Lord had given 
deliverance unto Syria : he was also a mighty man in 
valour, but he was c a leper. 

2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and 
had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a 
little maid ; and she d waited on Naaman's wife. 

3 And e she said unto her mistress, Would God my 
lord were with the prophet that is f in Samaria ! for he 
would recover him of his leprosy. 

4 And one went in and told his lord, saying, Thus 
and thus said the g maid that is of the land of Israel. 

5 And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will 
send a letter h unto the king of Israel. And he 
departed, and took t with him ten talents of silver, 
and six thousand pieces of gold, and ' ten changes of 
raiment. 

6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, 
saying, Now, when this letter is come unto thee, be- 
hold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to 
thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. 

7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had 
read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am 
k I God, ' to kill and to make alive, that this man doth 
send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy ? Where- 
fore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh m a 
quarrel against me.

heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that 
he sent to the king, saying, n Wherefore hast thou rent 
thy clothes ? let him come now to me, and he shall 
know that there is a ° prophet in Israel. 

9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his 
chariot, and p stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 

1 And Elisha sent q a messenger unto him, say- 
ing, Go and r wash in Jordan seven times, and thy 
flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be 
s clean. 

1 1 But Naaman was wroth, l and went away, and 
said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to 
me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his 
God, and u strike his hand over the place, and recover 
the leper. 

12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damas- 
cus, better than all the waters of Israel ? may I not 
wash in them, and be clean ? So he turned, and went 
away in a rage. 

13 And his servants came near, and spake unto 
him, and said, x My father, if the prophet had bid 
thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done 
it ? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, 
Wash, and be clean ? 

1 4 y Then went he down, and dipped himself seven 
times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man 
of God : and his flesh came again like unto the flesh 
of a little child, and he z was clean. 

1 5 And he returned to the man of God, he and all 
his company, and came and stood before him : and 
he said, Behold, now I know that there is a no God in 
all the earth but in Israel : now therefore, I pray thee, 
take b a blessing of thy servant. 

16 But he said, As the Lord liveth, before whom 
I stand, I will c receive none. And he urged him to

1 7 And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray 
thee, be given to thy servant two mules' burden of 
earth ? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither 
burnt-offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto 
the Lord. 

13 In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, that

19 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he de- 
parted from him a little way. 

20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of 
God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman 
this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which 
lie brought : but, as the Lord liveth, cl I will run after 
him, and take somewhat of him. 

21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when 
Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down 
from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well ? 

22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent 
me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me 
from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of 
the prophets : give them, I pray thee, a talent of sil- 
ver, and two changes of garments. 

23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. 
And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in 
two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid 
them upon two of his servants ; and they bare them 
before him. 

24 And when he came to the tower, lie took them

from their hand, and bestowed them in the house : and 
he let the men go, and they departed. 

25 But he went in, and stood before his master. 
And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Ge- 
hazi ? And he said, Thy servant went no whither. 

26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with 
thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to 
meet thee ? e Is it a time to receive money, and to re- 
ceive garments, and olive-yards, and vineyards, and 
sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants ? 

27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave 
unto thee, and unto thy seed f for ever. And he went 
out from his presence a leper as white s as snow.

TJie army which was sent to Dothan, to apprehend Elisha, is 
smitten with blindness. 

AND the a sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, 
Behold now, the place where we t dwell with 
thee is too strait for us. 

2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take 
thence every man a beam, and let us make us b a 
place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, 
Go ye. 

3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and c go 
with thy servants. And he answered, I will go. 

4 So d he went with them. And when they came 
to Jordan, they cut down wood. 

5 But as one was felling a beam, the t axe head 
fell into the water : and he cried, and said, Alas, mas- 
ter ! for it was e borrowed. 

6 And the man of God said, Where fell it ? And he 
shewed him the place. And he cut down f a stick, 
and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. 

7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he 
put out his hand, and took it. 

8 *![ Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, 
and % took counsel with his servants, saying, t In such 
and such a place shall be my camp. 

9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, 
saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place ; for 
thither the Syrians are come down. 

10 And the king of Israel h sent to the place which 
the man of God told him and warned him of, and 
saved himself there, not once nor twice. 

1 1 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was 
|| sore troubled for this thing ; and he called his ser- 
vants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which 
of us is for the king of Israel 1 

12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, 

king : but Elishrv, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth 
the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy 

1 bed-chamber. 

1 3 And he said, Go, and k spy where he is, that 1 
may send and fetch him. And it was told him, say- 
ing, Behold, he is ' in Dothan. 

14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, 
and m a great host : and they came by night, and 
n compassed the city about. 

15 And when the servant of the man of God was 
risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host compassed 
the city, both with horses and chariots. And his ser- 
vant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall 
we do ? 

16 And he answered, "Fear not; for they that be 
p with us are more than they that be with them. 

17 And Elisha i prayed, and said, Lord, 1 pray thee, 
open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened 
the eyes of the young man : and he saw, and, behold,

Luke24,i6. 20 And it came to pass, when they were come into 
Samaria, that Elisha said, Lord, open the eyes of 
these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened 
their eyes, and they saw ; and, behold, they were in 
the midst of Samaria. 

2 1 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when 
he saw them, l My father, shall I smite them ? shall 
I smite them ? 

22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them : 
wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken cap- 
tive with thy sword and with thy bow ? " Set bread 
and water before them, that they may eat and drink, 
and go to their master. 

23 And he prepared great provision for them : and 
when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, 
and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria 
x came no more into the land of Israel. 

24 H And it came to pass after this, that y Ben-hadad 
king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and 
besieged Samaria. 

25 And there was a great famine in Samaria : awd, 
behold, they besieged it, until an z ass's head was sold 
for || fourscore pieces of silver, and || the fourth part of 
a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver. 

26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon 
the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, 
my lord, O king! 

27 And he said, a If the Lord do not help thee, 
whence shall I help thee 1 out of the barn-floor, or out 
of the wine-press ? 

28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee ? 
And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give 
thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat 
my son to-morrow. 

29 So we b boiled my son, and did eat him : and 
I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that 
we may eat him ; and she hath hid her son. 

30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the 
c chap. 5, 7. words of the woman, that he c rent his clothes; and 

he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, 
and, behold, he had d sackcloth within upon his flesh. 

3 1 Then he said, e God do so and more also to me 
if the f head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand 
on him this day. 

32 But Elisha g sat in his house, and the elders sat 
with him : and the king sent h a man from before him : 
but ere the messenger came to him, ! he said to the 

fvk V) 8 4 6 ' e 'ders, See ye how this son of k a murderer hath sent 
Mai. 3, is. to take away mine head ? look, when the messenger 
!' ' 1,a P' J* 3, cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door : 
is not the ' sound of his master's feet behind him ? 

33 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the 
messenger came down unto him, and he said, Behold, 
this evil is of the Lord ; what should I m wait for the 
Lord any longer?

about this time, shall a measure of fine flour be sold 
for a c shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, 
in the gate of Samaria. 

2 Then a lord, on whose hand the king d leaned, 
answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the 
Lord would make e windows in heaven, might f this 
thing be ? And he said, Behold, thou shalt g see it with 
thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 

3 And there were four leprous men h at the entering s 9erse 2° 
in of the gate : and they s said one to another, Why 4 6 Lev * 13 ' 
sit we here until we die ? i Gen. 20, 

4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the "" 
famine is in the city, and we shall die there : and k if kEsth.4,ia 
we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, , 

and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians : if they 
save us alive, we shall live ; and if they kill us, we 
shall but die. 

5 And they rose up in the 'twilight, to go unto the 1 1 Sam.30, 
camp of the Syrians : and when they were come to JJ; 
the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there 
ivas no man there. 

6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians 

m to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, m 2 Sam. 3, 
even the noise of a great host ; and they said one to 2 j*- 
another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us job P 'i5, 21! 
the kings of the n Hittites, and the kings of the Egyp- n Gen. 10, 
tians, to come upon us. 15 - 

7 Wherefore they arose, and ° fled in the twilight, Ps. 48, 4, 
and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, ^ 6 - 
even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. 

8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost 
part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat 
and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and 
raiment, and went and p hid it ; and came again, and p Mat 13, 
entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and **• 
went and hid it. 

9 Then they said t one to another, We do not well : 
this day is q a day of good tidings, and we hold our 
peace : if we tarry till the morning light, some t mis- 
chief will come upon us : now therefore come, that 
we may go and tell the king's household. 

10 So they came, and called unto the porter of the |^ ] ^ 
city; and they told him, saying, We came to the Hcb. 16,24, 
camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man J ^ hi '- 3 « *• 
there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses iniquUyivui

of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold 
for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, 
according to the word of the Lord. 

17 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand 
he leaned to have the charge of the gate : and the 
people trbde upon him in the gate, and he died, as the 
man of God had said, who spake when the king came 
down to him. 

1 8 And it came to pass, as the man of God had 
spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for 
a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall 
be to-morrow, about this time, in the gate of Samaria : 

19 And that lord answered the man of God, and 
said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make win- 
dows in heaven, might such a thing be ? And he said, 
Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not 
eat thereof. 

20 And so it fell out unto him : for the people l trode 
upon him in the gate, and he died. 

CHAP. VIII. 

1 TJie Shunammite, for Elisha's miracle's sake,hath her land 
restored by the king. 16 Jehoram'' s wicked reign in Judah. 

THEN spake Elisha unto the woman a whose son 
he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go 
lliou and thine b household, and sojourn c wheresoever 
thou canst sojourn : for the Lord hath '' called for a 
famine ; and it shall also come upon the land e seven 
years. 

2 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of 
the man of God : and she went with her f household, 
and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. 

3 And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that 
the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines : 
and she went forth g to cry unto the king for her house 
and for her land. 

4 And the king || talked with Gehazi, the servant of 
the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the 
great things that Elisha hath done. 

5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king 
how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, 
the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to 
the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi 
said, My lord, O king, h this is the woman, and this is 
her son whom Elisha restored to life. 

6 And when the king asked the woman, she told 
him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, 
saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of 
the field, since the day that she left the land, even 
until now. 

7 II And Elisha came to Damascus ; and Ben- 
hadad the king of Syria was sick : and it was told 
him, saying, The ' man of God is come hither. 

8 And the king said unto k Hazael, ' Take a present 
in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and 
m inquire of the Lord by him, saying, Shall I t recover 
of this disease ? 

9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present 
with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty 
camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and 
said, " Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me 
to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease ? 

10 And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, 
Thou mayest certainly recover : howbeit, the Lord 
hath shewed me that he shall surely die. 

1 1 And he settled his countenance steadfastly, until 
he was ashamed : and the man of God ° wept. 

12 And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord ? And 
he answered. Because I know p the evil that thou wilt

27 And he walked in the way of the 1 house of 9 ' Kin s 
Ahab, and did r evil in the sight of the Lord, as did the 
house of Ahab : s for he was the son-in-law of the house 
of Ahab. 

28 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the 
war against Hazael king of Syria in l Ramolh-gilead 5 
and the Syrians wounded Joram. 

29 And king Joram went back to be healed in Jez-

up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and 
go to Ramoth-gilead : 

2 And when thou comest thither, look out there 
Jehu the' b son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, and 
go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, 
and carry him to an t inner chamber : 

3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, 
and say, Thus saith the Lord, I have c anointed thee 
king over Israel. Then open the door, and d flee, and 
tarry not. 

4 So the young man, even the young man the pro- 
phet, went to Ramoth-gilead. 

5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the 
host were sitting : and he said, I have an errand to 
thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all 
us ? And he said, To thee, O captain. 

6 And he arose, and went into the house ; and he 
poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee 
king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel. 

7 And thou shalt e smite the house of Ahab thy 
master, that I may f avenge the blood of my servants 
the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the 
Lord, ? at the hand of Jezebel. 

8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish ; and 
I will cut off from Ahab him that h pisseth against the 
wall, and him that is ' shut up and left in Israel : 

9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house 
of k Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house 
of ' Baasha the son of Ahijah : 

1 And the m dogs shall eat Jezebel in the n portion 
of Jezreel, and there shall he none to bury her. And 
he opened the door and fled. 

1 1 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord : 
and one said unto him, Is all well ? wherefore came 
this ° mad fellow to thee ? And he said unto them, Ye 
know the man, and his communication. 

12 And they said, It is false; tell us now. And 
he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus 
saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. 

1 3 Then they hasted, and took every man his gar- 
ment, and p put it under him on the top of the stairs, 
and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king. 

14 So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of 
Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had 
kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of 
Hazael king of Syria. 

1 5 But king Joram was returned to be i healed in 
Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given 
him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And 
Jehu said, If it be your minds, then r let none go 
forth nor escape out of the city, to go to tell it in 
Jezreel. 

16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel ; 
for Joram lay there. And s Ahaziah king of Judah 
was come down to see Joram. 

1 7 And there stood l a watchman on the tower in 
Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, 
and said, I see a company. And Joram said. Take 
a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, 
Is it peace ? 

1 8 So there went one on horseback to meet him, 
and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace ? And Jehu 
said, t What hast thou to do with peace ? turn thee 
behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The 
messenger came to them, but he cometh not again. 

19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, which 
came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it 



peace ? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do 
with peace ? turn thee behind me. 

20 And the watchman told, saying, He came even 
unto them, and cometh not again : and the driving is 
like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi ; for he 
driveth t furiously. 

21 And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot 
was made ready. And Joram king of Israel, and 
Ahaziah king of Judah, went out, each in his chariot, 
and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the 
portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. 

22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that 
he said, Is it peace, Jehu ? And he answered, u What 
peace, so long as the x whoredoms of thy mother 
Jezebel, and her y witchcrafts, are so many ? 

23 And Joram z turned his hands, and a fled, and 
said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah ! 

24 And Jehu t drew a bow with his full strength, 
and smote Jehoram between his arms ; and the arrow 
went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his 
chariot. 

25 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, 
and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the 
Jezreelite : for remember how that, when I and thou 
rode together after Ahab his father, the Lord laid this 
b burden upon him ; 

26 Surely I have seen c yesterday the t blood of 
Naboth, and the blood of his d sons, saith the Lord ; 
and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the Lord. 
Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of 
ground, according to the word of the Lord. 

27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, 
he fled by the way of the garden-house : and Jehu fol- 
.owed after him, and said, Smite e him also in the 
chariot. And they did so at the going up to f Gur, 
which is by g Ibleam. And he fled to h Megiddo, and 
died there. 

28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to 
Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his 
fathers in the ' city of David. 

29 And in the k eleventh year of Joram the son of 
Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah. 

30 IT And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel 
heard of it ; and she ' painted her face, and tired her 
head, and looked out at a window. 

31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, 
Had m Zimri peace, who slew his master ? 

32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, 
Who is on my side 1 who ? And there looked out to 
him two or three eunuchs. 

33 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw 
her down : and some of her blood was sprinkled on 
the wall, and on the horses : and he n trode her under 
foot. 

34 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, 
and said, Go, see now this ° cursed woman, and P bury 
her : for she is a q king's daughter. 

35 And they went to bury her ; but they found no 
more of her than the scull, and the feet, and the palms 
of her hands. 

36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And 
he said, This is r the word of the Lord, which he 
spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In 
the portion of Jezreel shall s dogs eat the flesh of 
Jezebel : 

37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as * dung 
upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so 
that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

Seventy of AhaVs sons beheaded. CHAP. X 

CHAP. X. 

Jehu by his letters canseth seventy of Jlhab' s children to be 
beheaded. 

ND Ahab had a seventy sons in Samaria. And 
Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto 
1 he rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that 
brought up Ahab's children, saying, 

2 Now, b as soon as this letter cometh to you, see- 
ing your master's sons are with you, and there are 
with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and 
armour, 

3 Look even out the c best and meetest of your 
master's sons, and d set him on his father's throne, and 
fight for your master's house. 

4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Be- 
hold, e two kings stood not before him : how then shall 
we stand ? 

5 And he that was over the house, and he that was 
over the city, the elders also, and the bringers-up of 
tlie children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are f thy ser- 
vants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us ; we will 
not make any king : do thou that which is good in thine 
eyes. 

6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, 
saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my 
voice, take ye the g heads of the men your master's sons, 
and come to me to Jezreel by to-morrow this time. 
(Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, ivere with 
the h great men of the city, which t brought them up.) 

7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to 
them, that they took the king's sons, and a slew seventy 
persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him 
tliem to Jezreel. 

8 And there came a messenger, and told him, say- 
ing, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. 
And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the enter- 
ing in of the k gate until the morning. 

9 And it came to pass in the morning, that he went 
out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be ' right- 
eous : behold, m I conspired against my master, and 
slew him : but n who slew all these ? 

10 Know now that there shall ° fall unto the earth 
nothing of the word of the Lord, which the Lord 
p spake concerning the house of Ahab : for the Lord 
hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah 

1 1 So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of 
Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kins 
folks, and his q priests, until he left him none re 
maining. 

1 2 And he arose and departed, and came to Sa- 
maria. And as he was at the shearing-house in the 
way, 

13 Jehu met with the 'brethren of Ahaziah king of 
Judah, and said, Who are ye ? And they answered, 
We are the brethren of Ahaziah ; and we go down to 
salute the children of the king, and the children of the 
queen. 

1 4 And he said, B Take them alive. And they took 
them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing- 
house, even two and forty men : neither left he any of 
them.

16 And he said, Come with me, and see u my zeal 
for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot. 

1 7 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that 
remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had x destroy- 
ed him, according to the saying of the Lord, which 
he spake to Elijah. 

1 8 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and 
said unto them, y Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu 
shall serve him z much. 

1 9 Now therefore call unto me all the a prophets of 
Baal, all his servants, and all his priests ; let none be 
wanting : for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal : 
whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But 
Jehu did it in b subtilty, to the intent that he might de- 
stroy the worshippers of Baal. 

20 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for 
Baal. And they proclaimed it. 

21 And Jehu sent through all Israel; and c all the 
worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a 
man left that came not : and they came into the house 
of Baal ; and d the house of Baal was full t from one 
end to another. 

22 And he said unto him that was over the vestry, 
Bring forth e vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. 
And he brought them forth vestments. 

23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of 
Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the 
worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be 
here with you none of the servants of the Lord, but 
the worshippers of Baal only. 

24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and 
burnt-offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, 
and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into 
your hands escape, he that letteth Mm go, f his life shall 
be for the life of him. 

25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made 
an end of offering the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to 
the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them ; 
let % none come forth. And they smote them with the 
edge of the sword ; and the guard and the captains 
cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal. 

26 And they brought forth the h images out of the 
house of Baal, and burned them. 

27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and 
brake down the house of Baal, and made it ' a draught- 
house unto this day. 

28 Thus Jehu k destroyed Baal out of Israel. 

29 l Howbeit, from the m sins of Jeroboam the son 
of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not 
from after them, to wit, the n golden calves that were 
in Beth-el, and that were in Dan. 

30 And ° the Lord said unto Jehu, Because thou 
hast p done well in executing that which is right in 
mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab ac- 
cording to all that was in mine heart, thy children of 
the q fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel. 

31 But Jehu t took no heed to walk in the Jaw of 
the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for he 
departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made 
Israel to sin. 

32 1 In those days the Lord began r to cut Israel 
short : and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of 
Israel ; 

33 From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, 
the Gadites. and the Reubenites, and the Manassites,. 
from Aroer, (which is by the river Arnon,) even Gilead 
and Bashan.

book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

35 And Jehu slept with his fathers ; and they buried 
him in s Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in

36 And t the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in 
Samaria was twenty and eight years.

13 Athaliah slain. 17 Jehoiada resioreth the worship of God. 
ND when a Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, 
saw that her son was b dead, she arose, and de- 
stroyed all the seed t royal. 

2 But c Jehosheba the daughter of king Joram, 
sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and 
stole him from among the king's sons which were 
slain ; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in 
the bed-chamber d from Athaliah, so that he was not 
slain. 

3 And he was with her hid in the house of the 
Lord six years. And Athaliah e did reign over the 
land. 

4 And the seventh year f Jehoiada sent and fetched 
the g rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the 
guard, and brought them to him into the house of the 
Lord, and h made a covenant with them, and took an 
oath of them in the house of the Lord, and shewed 
them the king's son. 

5 And he commanded them, saying, This is the 
thing that ye shall do : ' A third part of you that en- 
ter in on the k sabbath shall even be keepers of the 
watch of the king's house ; 

6 And a third part shall be at the gate of x Sur ; 
and a third part at the gate m behind the guard : so 
shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not 
broken down. 

7 And two parts of all you that go forth on the 
sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house 
of the Lord about the king. 

8 And ye shall compass the king round about, every 
man with his weapons in his hand : and he that cometh 
within the ranges, let him be n slain : and be ye with 
the king as he goeth out, and as he cometh in. 

9 And the captains over the hundreds did accord- 
ing to ail things that Jehoiada the priest commanded : 
and they took every man his men that were to come 
in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the 
sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 

1 And to the captains over hundreds did the priest 
give king ° David's spears and shields, that were in 
the temple. 

1 1 And the guard stood, every man with his wea- 
pons in his hand, round about the king, from the right 
corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, 
along by the p altar and the temple. 

1 2 And he brought forth the king's son, and put 
the crown upon him, and gave him the q testimony : 
and they r made him king, and anointed him ; and 
they s clapped their hands, and said, God t save the 
king. 

1 3 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard 
and of the people, she came to the people into the 
1 temple of the Lord. 

14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by 
a u pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the 
trumpeters by the king ; and all the people of the land 
rejoiced, and blew with trumpets : and Athaliah rent 
her clothes, and cried, x Treason, treason !

images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mat- dch - 1( V2&

priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord. 

1 9 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the 
captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land ; 
and they brought down the king from the house of the 
Lord, and came by the way of the e gate of the |2 £&*■ A 
guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne 

of the kings. 

20 And all the people of the land f rejoiced, and fP™. 11. 
the city was in quiet : and they slew Athaliah with 1<x

21 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to 
reign. 

CHAP. XII. 

Jehoash reigneth well all the days of Jehoiada. 

IN the a seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash began to a 2 chr. 24, 
reign ; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem : * 
and his b mother's name was Zibiah of c Beer-sheba. b 1 Kings 

2 And Jehoash did that which was d right in the sight 1%™' 
of the Lord all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest 31 
instructed him. 

3 But the e high places were not taken away : the 
people still f sacrificed and burnt incense in the high 
places. 

4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money 
of the t dedicated things that is brought into the house 
of the Lord, even the money g of every one that pass- 
eth the account, the money that every man is h set at, 
and all the money that ' cometh into any man's heart 
to bring into the house of the Lord, 

5 Let the k priests take it to them, every man of his 
1 acquaintance ; and let them repair the breaches of 
the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found. 

6 But it was so, that, in the three and twentieth 
year of king Jehoash, the priests had not repaired the & 8 » 25 
breaches of the house. 

7 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, 
and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair 
ye not the breaches of the house ? Now, therefore, 
m receive no more money of your acquaintance, but m>er. 4, 
deliver it for the breaches of the house. 2Chr. 24, 

8 And the priests consented to receive no more 
money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of 
the house. 

9 But Jehoiada the priest took ° a chest, and bored 
a hole in the lid of it, and set it ° beside the altar, on 
the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord : 
and the priests that kept the t door put therein all 
the money that was brought into the house of the 
Lord. 

1 And it was so, when they saw that there was 
mucli money in the chest, that the king's v scribe and 
the 1 high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and 14

1 2 And to 8 masons, and hewers of stone, and to 
buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of 
the house of the Lord, and for all that was laid out 
for the house to repair it. 

1 3 Howbeit, there were * not made for the house 
of the liORD u bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, x trum- 
pets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the 
money that was brought into the house of the Lord : 

14 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired 
therewith the house of the Lord. 

15 Moreover, they reckoned not with the men, into 
whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed 
on workmen : for they dealt t faithfully. 

16 The y trespass-money and sin-money was not 
brought into the house of the Lord : it was the priests'. 

17 TT Then z Hazael king of Syria a went up, and 
fought against Gath, and took it : and Hazael b set 
his face to go up to Jerusalem. 

1 8 And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hal- 
lowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and 
Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, 
and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was 
found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and 
in the king's house, and c sent it to Hazael king of 
Syria : and he went away from Jerusalem. 

1 9 And the rest of the acts of Jehoash, and all that 
he did, are they not written in the book of the Chro- 
nicles of the kings of Judah ? 

20 And his servants arose, and made t a conspiracy, 
and slew Jehoash in the house of d Millo, which go- 
eth down to e Silla. 

21 For f Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jeho- 
zabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, 
and he died ; and they buried him with his fathers in 
the g city of David : and Amaziah his son reigned in 
his stead. 

CHAP. XTII. 

Jehoahaz'' s wicked reign. 
N the a three and twentieth year of Joash, the son 
of Ahaziah king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of 
Jehu, began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and 
reigned seventeen years. 

2 And he did that tohich was evil in the sight of the 
Lord, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of 
Nebat, which made Israel to sin ; he departed not 
therefrom. 

3 And the anger of the Lord was b kindled against 
Israel ; and he c delivered them into the hand of 
a Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of e Ben- 
hadad the son of Hazael, all their days. 

4 And Jehoahaz f besought the Lord, and the Lord 
hearkened unto him ; for g he saw the oppression of 
Israel, because (lie king of Syria oppressed them. 

5 (And the Lord gave Tsrael b a saviour, so that 
they went out from under the hand of the Syrians : and 
the children of Tsrael dwelt in their tents as beforetime. 

6 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of 
the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walk- 
ed therein: and there remained the 'grove also in 
Samaria.) 

7 Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz 

2K 



but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand 
footmen ; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, 
and had made them like the k dust by threshing. 

8 Now the ' rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all 
that he did, and his m might, are they not written in the 
book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 

9 And Jehoahaz n slept with his fathers ; and they 
buried him in p Samaria : and Joash his son reigned 
in his stead. 

10 IT In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king 
of Judah, began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign 
over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years. 

1 1 And he did that which was evil '' in the sight of 
the Lord ; he departed not from all the sins of Jero- 
boam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin ; but he 
walked therein. 

12 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that 
he did, and his might wherewith he fought against 
Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the 
book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

13 And Joash slept with his fathers ; and Jeroboam 
r sat upon his throne : and Joash was buried in Sa- 
maria with the kings of Israel. 

1 4 IF Now Elisha was fallen sick, of his sickness 
whereof he s died. And Joash the king of Israel came 
down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O 
my father, * my father ! the u chariot of Israel, and 
the horsemen thereof ! 

15 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and 
arrows : and he took unto him bow and arrows. 

1 6 And he said to the king of Israel, t Put thine 
hand upon the bow : and he put his hand upon it ; 
and Elisha x put his hands upon the king's hands. 

1 7 And he said, Open the window eastward : and 
he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot : and he shot. 
And he said, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, 
and the arrow of deliverance from Syria ; for thou 
shalt smite the Syrians in y Aphek till thou have con- 
sumed them. 

1 8 And he said, Take the arrows : and he took 
them. And he said unto the king of Israel, z Smite 
upon the ground : and he smote thrice, and stayed. 

1 9 And the man of God was wroth with him, and 
said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times, 
then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed 
it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice'. 

20 IT And Elisha died, and they buried him. And 
the a bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the 
coming in of the year. 

21 And it came to pass, as they were burying a 
man, that, behold, they spied a band of men ; and 
they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha : t and 
when the man was let down, b and touched the bones 
of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet. 

22 IT But Hazael king of Syria c oppressed Israel 
all the days of Jehoahaz. 

23 And the Lord was gracious unto them, and had 
compassion on them, and had respect unto them, be- 
cause of his d covenant with p Abraham, Isaac, and 
Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast lie 
them from his presence f as yet. 

24 So Hazael the king of Syria died ; afld Ben- 
hadad his son reigned in his stead. 

25 And Jehoash, the son of Jehb&haz, took again, 
out of the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael, the 
cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz 
his father by war : g three times did Joash beat him, 
and recovered the cities of Israel.

CHAP. XIV. 

1 Amaziah'' s good reign : 5 His justice on the murderers of 
his father. 

\N the second year of Joash, son of Jehoahaz king 
of Israel, reigned a Amaziah, the son of Joash king 
of Judah. 

2 He was twenty and five years old when he began 
to reign, and reigned b twenty and nine years in Je- 
rusalem : and his mother's name was Jehoaddan of 
Jerusalem. 

3 And he did that which was c right in the sight of 
the Lord, yet not like David his father : he did ac- 
cording to all things d as Joash his father did. 

4 Howbeit the e high places were not taken away : 
as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on 
the high places. 

5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was 
f confirmed in his hand, that he g slew his servants 
which had h slain the king his father. 

6 But ! the children of the murderers he slew not : 
according unto that which is written in the book of 
the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, 
saying, k The fathers shall not be put to death for the 
children, nor the children be put to death for the fa- 
thers; but every man shall be put to death for his 
own sin. 

7 He l slew of m Edom, in the n valley of Salt, ° ten 
thousand, and took || Selah by war, and called the 
name of it || Joktheel unto this day. 

8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the 
son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, 
p Come, let us q look one another in the face. 

9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah 
king of Judah, saying, The r thistle that was in Leba- 
non sent to the s cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, 
Give thy daughter to my son to wife : and there pass- 
ed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode 
down the thistle. 

10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and * thine 
heart hath lifted thee up : glory of this, and tarry at 
home ; for why shouldest thou u meddle to thy hurt, that 
thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee ? 

11 But Amaziah x would not hear: therefore Je- 
hoash king of Israel went up ; and he and Amaziah 
king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth- 
shemesh, which belongeth y to Judah. 

12 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel ; 
and they fled every man to their tents. 

13 And Jehoash king of Israel z took Amaziah king 
of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at 
Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake 
down the v, all of Jerusalem, from the a gate of Ephraim 
unto the b corner-gate, four hundred cubits. 

1 4 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the 
c vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, 
and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, 
and returned to Samaria. 

15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he 
did, and his d might, and how he fought with Amaziah 
king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

16 And Jehoash e slept with his fathers, and was 
buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel ; and Je- 
roboam his son reigned in his stead. 

1 7 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah 
lived after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz king 
of Israel, fifteen years. 

18 And the f rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they 



not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings 
of Judah? 

19 Now they made s a conspiracy against him in 
Jerusalem : and he fled to Lachish ; but they sent 
after him to h Lachish, and slew him there. 

20 And they brought him ' on horses ; and he was 
buried at Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of 
David. 

21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which 
was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of 
his father Amaziah. 

22 He built k Elath, and l restored it to Judah, after 
that the king slept with his fathers. 

23 IT In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of 
Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king 
of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty 
and one years. 

24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the 
Lord : he departed not m from all the n sins of Jero- 
boam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 

25 He ° restored the p coast of Israel from the enter- 
ing of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to 
the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spake 
by the hand of his servant q Jonah, the son of Amittai, 
the prophet, which was of r Gath-hepher. 

26 For the Lord s saw the affliction of Israel, that 
it was very bitter : for there was not any * shut up, nor 
any left, nor u any helper for Israel. 

27 And the Lord j| said not that he would blot out 
the name of Israel from under heaven : but he saved 
them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash. 

28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all 
that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how 
he recovered x Damascus, and y Hamath, which be- 
longed z to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in 
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with 
the kings of Israel ; and |] Zachariah his son reigned 
in his stead. 

CHAP. XV. 

1 Azariah'' s good reign: 5 Jotham succeedeth him. 
N the a twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king 
of Israel, began b Azariah son of Amaziah king of 
Judah to reign. 

2 c Sixteen years old was he when he began to 
reign, and he reigned d two and fifty years in Jeru- 
salem : and his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jeru- 
salem. 

3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the 
Lord, e according to all that his father Amaziah had 
done; 

4 Save that the f high places were not removed : 
z the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the 
high places. 

5 And the Lord h smote the king, so that he was 
' a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a 
t several house. And Jotham the king's son was over 
the house, k judging the people of the land. 

6 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that 
he did, are they not written in the book of the Chro- 
nicles of the kings of Judah ? 

7 So Azariah l slept with his fathers ; and they 
m buried him with his fathers in the city of David : and 
Jotham his son reigned in his stead. 

8 U In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king 
of Judah, did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign 
over Israel in Sa-maria r six months. 

9 ^.nd he did that which was evil in the sight of the

Lord, ° as his fathers had done : he departed not from 
the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made 
Israel to sin. 

10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh p conspired 
against him, and smote him q before the people, and 
slew him, and reigned in his stead. 

1 1 And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, 
they are written in the book of the Chronicles of the 
kings of Israel. 

12 This was r the word of the Lord which he spake 
unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Is- 
rael unto the s fourth generation . And so it came to pass. 

13 IT Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in 
the nine and thirtieth year of t Uzziah king of Judah ; 
and he reigned a full month in Samaria. 

14 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from 
u Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum 
the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and 
x reigned in his stead. 

15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and the 
conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written 
in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel. 

16 Then Menahem smote y Tiphsah, and all that 
were therein, and the coast thereof from Tirzah :' be- 
cause they opened not to Mm, therefore he smote it ; 
and all the z women therein that were with child he 
ripped up. 

17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king 
of Judah, a began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign 
over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria. 

18 And he did that vihich was b evil in the sight of 
the Lord : he departed not all his days from the sins 
of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 

19 And c Pul the king of Assyria came against the 
land : and Menahem gave Pul || a thousand talents 
of silver, that his hand might be with him, to u confirm 
the kingdom in his hand. 

20 And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, 
even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty 
shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria : so the 
king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in 
the land. 

21 And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all 
that he did, are they not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

22 And Menahem e slept with his fathers : and 
Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead. 

23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pe- 
kahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel 
in Samaria, and reigned f two years. 

24 And he did *hat which was g evil in the sight of 
the Lord ; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam 
the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 

25 But h Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of 
his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, 
in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and 
Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites : and 
he killed him, and reigned in his room. 

26 And the ' rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all 
that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Israel. 

27 In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of 
Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign 
over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years. 

28 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the

10 And king Ahaz went to Damascus r to meet 
Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and 3 saw an altar 
that was at Damascus : and king Ahaz sent to Urijah 
the priest the fashion of the t altar, and the pattern of 
it, according to all the workmanship thereof. 

1 1 And u Urijah the priest built an altar according 
to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus : so 
Urijah the priest x made it against king Ahaz came 
from Damascus. 

1 2 And when the king was come from Damascus, 
the king saw the altar : and the king approached to 
the altar, and y offered thereon. 

1 3 And he burnt his burnt-offering, and his z meat- 
offering, and poured his drink-offering, and sprinkled 
the blood of his peace-offerings upon the altar. 

14 And he brought also the a brazen altar, which 
was b before the Lord, from the fore-front of the house, 
from between the altar and the house of the Lord, 
and put it on the north side of the altar. 

15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, 
saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt- 
offering, and the evening meat-offering, and the king's 
ournt-sacrifice, and bis meat-offering, with the burnt- 
offering of all the people of the land, and their meat- 
offering, and their drink-offerings ; and sprinkle upon 
it all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood 
of the sacrifice : and the brazen altar shall be for me 
to inquire by. 

16 c Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all 
that king Ahaz commanded. 

17 And king Ahaz cut off the t borders of the bases, 
and removed the laver from off them ; and took down 
the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, 
and put it upon a pavement of stones : 

1 8 And the d covert for the sabbath that they had 
built in the house, and the king's entry without, turn- 
ed he from the house of the Lord e for the king of 
Assyria. 

19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, 
are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of 
the kings of Judah ? 

20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried 
with his fathers in f the city of David : and Heze- 
kiah his son reigned in his stead.

Hoshea's wicked reign. 

n. 15, ¥N the a twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, began 
is, 9. jj[ Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over 
Israel nine years. 

2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the 
Lord, but b not as the kings of Israel that were before 
him. 

3 Against him came up c Shalmaneser king of As- 
syria ; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him 
presents. 

4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy d in 
Hoshea : for he had sent messengers to So king of 
Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, 
as he had done year by year : therefore the king of 
Assyria shut him up, and bound him in t prison. 

5 Then the king of Assyria came up e throughout 
all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it 
three years.

25 And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling 
there, that they * feared not the Lord 5 therefore the 
Lord sent lions among them, which slew some of them. 

26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, 
saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and 
placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner 
of the God of the land : therefore he hath sent lions 
among them, and, behold, they slay them, because 
they know not the manner of the God of the land. 

27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, 
u Judg. 17, Carry thither one of the u priests whom ye brought 

from thence ; and let them go and dwell there, and 
let him teach them the manner of the God of the 
land. 

28 Then one of the priests, whom they had carried 
away from Samaria, came and dwelt in x Beth-el, and 
taught them how" they should fear the Lord. 

29 Howbeit t every nation made y gods of their own,

y verse' 36. the z Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities

j^nlV 6 ' an d the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of 
Hamath made Ashima, 

31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and 
the Sepharvites burnt a their children in fire to || Adram- 
melech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 

32 So they b feared the Lord, and made unto them- 
selves of the c lowest of them priests of the high places, 
which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high 
places. 

33 They feared the Lord, and served their own 
gods, after the manner of the nations whom they car- 
ried away from thence. 

34 Unto this day they do after the former d man- 
ners : they fear not the Lord, neither do they after 
their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the 
law and commandment which the Lord commanded 
the children of Jacob, whom e he named Israel ; 

35 With whom the Lord had made a f covenant, 
and charged them, saying, Ye shall g not fear other 
gods, nor bow '' yourselves to them, nor serve them, 
nor sacrifice to them : 

36 But the Lord, who brought you up out of the 
•land of Egypt with great power and ' a stretched-out 
arm, him shall ye k fear, and him shall ye worship, 
and to him shall ye do sacrifice. 

37 And the ' statutes, and the ordinances, and the 
law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, 
ye shall observe to do for evermore ; and ye shall not 
fear other gods. 

38 And the covenant that I have made with you 
ye shall m not forget, neither shall ye fear other gods. 

39 But the Lord your God ye shall fear ; and he 
shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 

40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did 
after their former manner. 

41 So n these nations ° feared the Lord, and p served 
their graven images, both their children and their 
children's children : as did their fathers, so do they 
unto this day.

to reign ; and he reigned twenty and nine years in 
Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the 
daughter of c Zachariah. 

3 And he did that which was d right in the sight of 
the Lord, according to all that e David his father did. 

4 He removed f the high places, and brake the 
images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces 
the brazen serpent s that Moses had made : for unto 
those days the children of Israel did burn incense to 
it : and he called it || Nehushtan. 

5 He trusted h in the Lord God of Israel ; so that 
after him ' was none like him among all the kings of 
Judah, nor any that were before him. 

6 For he k clave to the Lord, and departed not from 
following him, but kept hie commandments, which the 
Lord commanded Moses. 

7 And the Lord was * with him ; and he || pros- 
pered whithersoever he went forth : and he m rebelled 
against the king of Assyria, and served him not. 

8 He smote " the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and 
the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen 
to the fenced city. 

9 And it came to pass in the ° fourth year of king 
Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son 
of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of As- 
syria came up against Samaria, and besieged it. 

1 And at the end of three years they p took it, even 
in the sixth year of Hezekiah (that is, the ninth year 
of Hoshea king of Israel) Samaria was taken. 

1 1 And the king of Assyria did cany away Israel 
unto Assyria, and put them in q Halah and in Habor 
by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes : 

1 2 Because they r obeyed not the voice of the Lord 
their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that 
Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and would 
not hear them, nor do them. 

1 3 IT Now, in the s fourteenth year of king Heze- 
kiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against 
all the fenced cities of Judah, and 'took them. 

14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of 
Assyria to " Lachish, saying, I have x offended ; re- 
turn from me : that which thou puttest on me will I 
bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto He- 
zekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver 
and thirty talents of gold. 

1 5 And Hezekiah gave him all y the silver that was 
found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures 
of the king's house. 

16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the z gold 
from the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from 
the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had over- 
laid, and gave it to the king of Assyria. 

17 IT And the king of Assyria "sent Tartan, and 
Rabsaris, and Rab-shakeh, from Lachish to king He- 
zekiah, with a great host against Jerusalem : and they 
went up, and came to Jerusalem. And when they 
were come up, they came and stood by the b conduit 
of the upper pool, which is in the highway ol the 
fuller's field. 

1 8 And when they had called to the king, there 
came out to c them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which 
was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and 
Joah the son of Asaph the recorder. 

19 And Rab-shakeh said unto them, Speak ye now 
to Hezekiah. Thus d saith the great c king, the king 
of Assyria, What f confidence is this wherein thou 
trustesi ? 

20 Thou sayest (but they are but vain t words,) /

whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me ? 

21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the h staff of 
this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man 
lean it will go into his hand and pierce it : so is Pha- 
raoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. 

22 But if ye say unto me, We trust in the Lord 
our God : is not that he whose high places and ' whose 
altars Hezekiah hath taken away ; and hath said to 
Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship k before this 
altar in Jerusalem ? 

23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my 
lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two 
thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set 
riders upon them. 

24 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one 
captain of the least of my master's servants, and put 
thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen ? 

25 Am I now come up without the Lord against 
this place to destroy it ? The ' Lord said to me, Go 
up against this land, and destroy it. 

26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and 
Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray 
thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language ; for we 
t understand it : and talk not with us in the Jews'

ter sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these

the wall, that they may ra eat their own dung, and 
drink their t own piss, with you ? 

28 Then Rab-shakeh stood, and cried with a loud 
voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear 
the word of the great king, the king of Assyria : 

29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive 
you ; for n he shall not be able to deliver you out of 
his hand : 

30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the 
Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and 
this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the 
king of Assyria. 

31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the 
king of Assyria, t Make an agreement with me by a 
present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every 
man of his own vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and 
drink ye every one the waters of his cistern ; 

32 Until I come and take you away to a land like 
your own land ; a land of corn ° and wine, a land of 
bread and vineyards, a land of oil-olive and of honey, 
that ye may live and not die : and hearken not unto 
Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The Lord 
will deliver us. 

33 Hath any of p the gods of the nations delivered 
at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria ? 

34 Where are the gods of q Hamath, and of Arpad ? 
where are the gods of r Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah ? 
have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand ? 

35 Who are they, among all the gods of the coun- 
tries, that have delivered their country out of mine 
hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of 
mine hand ? 

36 But the people s held their peace, and x answered 
him not a word : for the king's commandment was, 
saying, Answer him not. 

37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which 
was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and 
Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah, 



with their clothes t rent, and told him the words of 
Rab-shakeh. 

CHAP. XIX. 

Hezekiah mourning, sendeth to Isaiah to pray for them. 
ND it came to pass, when king Hezekiah a heard 
it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself 
with sackcloth, and went b into the house of the Lord. 

2 And he sent Eliakim, which was over the house- 
hold, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the 
priests, covered with sackcloth, to c Isaiah the prophet, 
the son of Amoz. 

3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, 
This day is a day of d trouble, and of || rebuke, and 
e blasphemy : for the children are come to the birth, 
and there is not f strength to bring forth. 

4 It may be the Lord g thy God will hear all the 
h words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his 
master hath sent to reproach ' the living God ; and 
will k reprove the words which the Lord thy God hath 
heard : wherefore lift up thy prayer for the ' remnant 
that are left. 

5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 

6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to 
your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not m afraid of 
the words which thou hast heard, with which the ser- 
vants of the king of Assyria have n blasphemed me. 

7 Behold, I will send t a blast upon him, and he 
shall hear a ° rumour, and shall return to his own land ; 
and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own 
land. 

8 So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of 
Assyria warring against Libnah : for he had heard 
that he was departed from p Lachish. 

9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of 
Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight Q against thee ; 
t he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying, 

10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, 
saying, Let not r thy God in whom thou trustest de- 
ceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered 
into the hand of the king of Assyria. 

1 1 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of As- 
syria have done to all lands, by destroying them 
utterly ; and shalt thou be delivered ? 

12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them 
which s my fathers have destroyed ; as Gozan, and 
1 Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of u Eden which 
were in Thelasar ? 

1 3 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of 
Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of 
Hena, and Ivah ? 

1 4 And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of 
the messengers, and read it : and Hezekiah went up 
into the house of the Lord, and spread it before £ the 
Lord. 

15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and 
said, O Lord God of Israel, which y dwellest between 
the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou z alone, of 
all the kingdoms of the earth ; thou hast a made heaven 
and earth. 

16 Lord, bow down b thine ear, and hear: c open, 
Lord, thine eyes, and see; and hear the words of 
Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the 
living God. 

17 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have 
d destroyed the nations and their lands, 

1 8 And have t cast their gods into the fire : for they 
were no gods, but e the work of men's hands, wood 
and stone ; therefore they have destroyed them.

Isaiah prophesieth Sennacherib' 's destruction. CHAP. 

19 Now therefore, O Lord f our God, I beseech 
thee, save thou us out of his hand, that s all the king- 
doms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord 
God, even thou only. 

20 Then h Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Heze- 
bDan.9,20. j^^ sa yi ngj Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, That 

verse 19. " which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib 
king of Assyria I have heard. 

21 This is the word that the Lord hath spoken 
concerning him ; The k virgin the daughter of Zion 
hath despised ' thee, and laughed thee to scorn ; the 
daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken m her head at thee. 

22 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed ? 
and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and 
lifted up thine eyes on high 1 even against the Holy 
n One of Israel. 

23 By thy ° messengers thou hast reproached the 
Lord, and hast said, With the p multitude of my cha- 
riots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to 

qch. 18, n. the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the q tall 
cedar- trees thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof : 
and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and 

r isa. 10,18. into the forest of his r Carmel. 

24 I have digged and drunk strange 9 waters, and 
with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers 
of besieged places. 

25 Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done 
it, and of ancient times that I have formed it ? now 
have I brought it to pass, that * thou shouldest be to 
lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps. 

26 Therefore their inhabitants were of t small pow- 
er, they were dismayed and confounded •, they were 
as the u grass of the field, and as the green herb, as 

u Pa. 129, 6. t i ie g rass on the house-tops, and as corn blasted before 

it be grown up. 
xPs.139,2. 27 But I know thy x abode, and thy going out, and 
y Acts 9, 4. thy coming in, and thy rage y against me. 

28 Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is 
come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my z hook 
in thy nose, and my "bridle in -thy lips, and I will 
turn thee back by the way by which thou earnest. 

29 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat 
b this year such things as grow of c themselves, and in 

c i Kings 3, ^j ie seconc ] year that which springeth of the same ; and 
verse 19. in the third year sow ye and reap, and plant vineyards, 
Eph. 3, 20. an( j ea t t i ie f ru its thereof. 

30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of 
d Ps. 80, 9. Judah shall yet again take (l root downward, and bear 

fruit upward. 

31 For out of e Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, 
and they that escape out of mount Zion : the f zeal of 
the Lord of hosts shall do this. 

32 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the 
king of Assyria, He shall E not come into this city, nor 
shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, 
nor cast a bank against it. 

33 By the way h that he came, by the same shall 
he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the 
Lord.

and Sharezer his q sons smote him with the sword : 
and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And 
|| Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead. 
CHAP. XX. 

1 Hezekiah, by prayer, hath his life lengthened. 20 Ma- 

nasseh succeedeth him. 

N those days a was Hezekiah sick unto death. And 

the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz'came to him, 

and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine 

b house in order ; for thou shalt die, and not live. 

2 Then he c turned his face to the wall, and prayed t Mat. 6, 6. 
unto the Lord, saying, 

3 I beseech thee, O Lord, remember d now how I d Neh. 13, 
have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect 22- 
heart, and have done that which is good in thy e sight, e i Thes. 2, 
And Hezekiah f wept sore. f 2 Sam 

4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out 16. 
into the g middle court, that the word of the Lord v jrtt 
came to him, saying, 

5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah, the captain of 
my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David 

thy father, I have '' heard thy prayer, I have seen ' thy h Ps. ei, 2 
tears : behold, I will k heal thee ; on the third clay thou l p |g 3 g' 12 
shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. u verse i. 

6 And I will 1 add unto thy days fifteen years ; and f sa - 38, 21. 
I will m deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the j V b 14, 5.' 
king of Assyria ; and I will defend this city for mine m 2 (; °r. i, 
own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 

7 And Isaiah said, Take n a lump of figs. And they 
took and laid it on the boil, and he t recovered. 

8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be 31; 
the ° sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall J"^-*"^ 
go up into the house of the Lord the third day ? 
, 9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the 
Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath 
spoken : Shall the p shadow go forward ten degrees, 
or go back ten degrees ? 

10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light q thing for 
the shadow to go down ten degrees : nay, but let the 
shadow return backward ten degrees. 

1 1 And Isaiah the prophet r cried unto the Lord ; 
and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by 42. Il>ss 
which it had gone clown in the dial of Ahaz. 

12 IT At that time s Berodach-baladan, the son of "2. 
Baiadan king of Babylon, sent * letters and a present a sa s 39 ' ! 
unto Hezekiah : for he had heard that Hezekiah had 10. & a io, 2! 
been sick. 

1 3 And Hezekiah u hearkened unto them, and 
x shewed them the house of his precious things, the 
silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious 
ointment, and all the house of his armour, andall that 
was found in his treasures : there was y nothing in his y 1 Kings 8

rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all 

how he made f a pool, and a conduit, 

and brought g water into the city, are they not written 

in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? 

2 1 And Hezekiah h slept with his fathers : and 

Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAP. XXI. 

1 ManasseWs reign : 3 His great idolatry. 

ANASSEH was a twelve years old when he 

began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in 

Jerusalem. And his mother's name u w;asHephzi-bah. 

2 And he did that which was evil in c the sight d of 
the Lord, after the abominations e of the heathen, 
whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. 

3 For he built up again the high places which He- 
zekiah f his father had destroyed ; and he reared up 
altars for Baal, and made a grove, as s did Ahab king 
of Israel ; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and 
served them. 

4 And he h built altars in the house of the Lord, 
of which the Lord said, In ' Jerusalem will I put my 
name. 

5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in 
the k two courts of the house of the Lord. 

6 And he made ' his son pass through the fire, and 
m observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt 
with familiar spirits and wizards : he wrought much 
wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him 
to anger. 

7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he 
had made in the house, of which the Lord said n to 
David, and to Solomon his son, In this ° house, and 
in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of 
Israel, will I put my name for ever : 

8 Neither will I make the p feet of Israel move any 
more out of the land which I gave their fathers ; only 
q if they will observe to do according to all that I have 
commanded them, and according to all the law that 
my servant Moses commanded them. 

9 But they hearkened not : and Manasseh r seduced 
them to do more s evil than did the nations whom the 
Lord destroyed before the children of Israel. 

1 And the Lord spake by his servants the pro- 
phets, saying, 

1 1 Because x Manasseh king of Judah hath done 
these abominations, and hath done wickedly above 
all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and 
hath made Judah also to sin with his idols ; 

12 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, 
Behold, I am bringing such evil upon a Jerusalem and 
Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall 
x tingle. 

1 3 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the y line of 
Samaria, and the plummet of the house of z Ahab : 
and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man a wipeth a dish, 
wiping it, and turning it upside down. 

1 4 And I will forsake the b remnant of mine inhe- 
ritance, and deliver them into the hand of their ene-

mies ; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all 
their enemies ; 

15 Because they have done that which was evil in 
my sight, and have provoked me to anger, c since the 
day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto 
this day. 

1 6 Moreover, Manasseh shed d innocent blood veiy d Dan. s, 4, 
much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to 5 " 
another ; besides e his sin wherewith he made Judah 
to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the 
Lord. 

1 7 Now the r rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all 
that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not 3 * 12 * 
written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of 
Judah? 

1 8 And Manasseh g slept with hie fathers, and was 643. 
buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden lo 2 ^' 33 * 
of Uzza : and h Anion his son reigned in his stead. hMati.ia 

1 9 Amon was twenty and two years old when he 
began to reign ; and he reigned two years in Jerusa- 
lem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the 
daughter of Haruz of ' Jotbah. 

20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of kt^ef'J 
the Lord, k as his father Manasseh did. 

21 And he walked ' in all the ways that his father 
walked in, and served the idols that his father served, 
and worshipped them : 

22 And he m forsook the Lord God of his fathers, 
and n walked not in the way of the Lord. 

23 And the servants of ° Amon conspired against 
him, and slew the king in his own house. 

24 And the people of the land p slew all them that 
had conspired against king Amon ; and the people of verse 23.

the scribe, I have found k the book of the law in the 
house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to 
Shaphan, and he read it. 

9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and 
brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants 
have gathered the money that was found in the house, 
and have delivered it into the hand of them that do 
the work, that have the oversight of the house of the 
Lord. 

10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, say- 
ing, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me ' a book. 
And Shaphan m read it before the king. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when the king had heard 
the n words of the book of the law, that he ° rent his 
clothes. 

12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, 
and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and p Achbor the 
son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah 
a servant of the king's, saying, 

13 Go ye, inquire of the Lord for me, and for the 
people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of 
this book that is found : for great is the wrath of the 
Lord that is kindled q against us, because our fathers 
have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do 
according unto all that which is written concerning; us. 

14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Ach- 
bor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah 
the r prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tik- 
vah, the. son of 9 Harhas, keeper of the t wardrobe; 
(now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the || college ;) and 
they communed with her. 

15 And she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel, Tell l the man that sent you to me, 

1 6 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil 
upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even 
u all the words of the book which the king of Judah 
hath read : 

1 7 Because they have forsaken me, and have burnt 
incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me 
to anger with all the x works of their hands ; therefore 
my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and 
shall not be quenched. 

18 But to y the king of Judah, which sent you to 
inquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, As touching the words 
which thou hast heard ; 

1 9 Because thine heart was t tender, and thou hast 
1 humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heard- 
est what I spake against this place and against the 
inhabitants thereof, that they should become a deso- 
lation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept 
before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. 

20 Behold, therefore, I will a gather thee unto thy 
fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave b irj 
peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which 
C I will bring upon this place. And they brought the 
king word again. 

CHAP. XXIII. 

Josiah causeih the book to be read in a solemn assembly. 

AND the king a sent, and they gathered unto him 
all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. 

2 And the king went up into the house of the Lord. 
and h all the men of Judah, and all the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the c pro- 
phets, and all the people, both small and great : and 
he read in their ears all the words of the u book of the 
covenant which was found in the house of the Loiu>. 

3 And the king stood by c a pillar, and made r ;. 

2L 



covenant g before the Lord, to h walk after the Lord, 
and to keep his commandments and his testimonies 
and his statutes, with all their heart and all their soul, 
to perform the words of this covenant that were writ- 
ten in this book : and all the people ' stood to the 
covenant. 

4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, 
and the priests of the second order, and the keepers 
of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the 
Lord all the k vessels that were made for Baal, and 
for the ' grove, and for all the host of heaven ; and he 
burnt them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, 
and carried the ashes of them unto m Beth-el. 

5 And he. put down the n idolatrous priests, whom 
the kings of judah had ordained to burn incense in 
the high places in the cities of Judah,* "and/ in the 
places round about Jerusalem ; them also that burnt 
incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the -moon, and 
to the planets, and to all the ° host of heaven. 

6 And he brought out the p grove from the house of 
the Lord, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, 
and burnt it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it 
small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon 
the q graves of the children of the people. 

7 And he brake down the houses of the r Sodom- 
ites, that were by the house of the Lord, where the 
women wove || hangings for the grove. 

8 And he brought all the priests out of the cities of 
Judah, and denied the t high places where the priests 
had burnt incense, from s Geba to Beer-sheba, and 
brake down the high places of the gates that were in 
the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of 
the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate 
of the city. 

9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places l came 
not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they 
u did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren. 

10 And he defiled x Topheth, which is in the valley 
of the children y of Hinnom, that no man might make 
his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to 
7 Molech. 

1 1 And he took away the a horses that the kings of 
Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the 
house of 1 he Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-melech 
the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burnt 
the chariots of the sun with fire. 

12 And the altars that were on the b top of the up- 
per chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had 
made, and the altars which c Manasseh had made in 
the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king 
beat down, and brake them down from thence, and 
cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron. 

1 3 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, 
which were on the right hand of the mount of d Cor- 
ruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded 
for Ashtorcth the abomination of the Zidonians, and 
for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and 
for e Milcom the abomination of the children of Am- 
nion, did the king defile. 

14 And he brake in pieces the images, and cut 
down the groves, and filled their places with the 
f bones of men. . . 

15 Moreover, the « altar that was at Beth-el, aiut 
the high place which Jeroboam the son of Ncbat. who 
made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar ant the 
high place he brake down, and burnt the high place, 
and stamped it small to powder, and burnt the grove.

sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and 
took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them 
upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word 
of the Lord, which the man of God proclaimed, who 
|| proclaimed these words. 

17 Then he said, What title is that that 1 see? 
And the men of the city told him, It is the h sepulchre 
of the man of God which came from Judah, and pro- 
claimed ' these things that thou hast done against the 
altar of Beth-el. 

18 And he said, Let him alone ; let no man k move 
his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones 
of the ' prophet that came out of m Samaria. 

19 And all the houses also of the high places that 
were in the n cities of Samaria, which the kings of 
Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, 
Josiah took away, and did to them according to all 
the acts that he had done in Beth-el. 

20 And he || slew ° all the priests of the high places 
that were there upon the altars, and burnt men's bones 
upon them, and returned to Jerusalem. 

21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, 
Keep the p passover unto the Lord your God, as it is 
written in the q book of the covenant. 

22 Surely there was not holden such a passover 
r from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor 
in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings 
of Judah ; 

23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, where- 
in this passover was holden to the Lord in 8 Jerusalem. 

24 Moreover, the workers with x familiar spirits, 
and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and 
all the abominations that were spied in the land of 
Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that 
he might perform the words of the u law which were 
written in the book that x Hilkiah the priest found in 
the house of the Lord. 

25 And y like unto him was there no king before him, 
that turned to the Lord z with all his heart, and with all 
his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law 
of Moses ; neither after him arose there any like him. 

26 a Notwithstanding the Lord turned not from the 
fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was 
kindled against Judah, because of all the t provoca 
tions that Manasseh had provoked him withal. 

27 And the Lord said, I will remove b Judah also 
out of my sight, as I have removed c Israel, and will 
cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and 
the house of which I said, d My name shall be there. 

23 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that 
he did, are they not written in the book of the Chro 
nicies of the kings of Judah ? 

29 In e his days Pharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt 
went up against the king of Assyria to the river 
Euphrates : and king Josiah went against him ; and 
he f slew him at Megiddo, when he had s seen him. 

30 And his servants carried him in a chariot dead 
from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and 
buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of 
the land took || Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anoint- 
ed him, and made him king in his father's stead. 

3 1 If Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when 
he began to reign ; and he reigned h three months in 
Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, 
the daughter of Jeremiah of 'Libnah. 

32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of 
the Lord, according to all that k his fathers had done.

34 And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of

n turned his name to ° Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz ■^5*» 1 ? 
away : and he came to Egypt, and p died there. 

35 And Jehoiakim q gave the silver and the gold to

according to the commandment of Phanaoh : he ex- 
acted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, 
of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto 
Pharaoh-nechoh. 

36 IF Jehoiakim was r twenty and five years old 
when he began to reign ; and lie reigned eleven years 
in Jerusalem : and his mother's name was Zebudah,

(for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood,) which 
the Lord would ' not pardon. 

5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all 
that he did, are they not written in the book of the

into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. 

16 And all the i: men of might, even seven thousand,

strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon 
brought captive to Babylon.

Zedekiah taken, his sons slain, and his eyes put out. 

AND it came to pass, in the a ninth year of his reign. 
in the tenth b month, in the tenth day of the 
month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, 
he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched 
against it ; and they built c forts against if round about. 

2 And the city was besieged unto the d eleventh 
year of king Zedekiah. 

3 And on the ninth day of the e fourth month the 
famine prevailed in the city, and there was f no bread 
for the people of the land. 

4 And the city was g broken up, and all the b men 
of war fled ' by night, by the way of the gate, be- 
tween two walls, which is by the king's garden : (now 
the Chaldees were against the city round about :) and 
k the king went the way toward the plain. 

5 And the army of the Chaldees ' pursued after the 
king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho : and 
all liis army were scattered from him. 

6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the 
king of Babylon to Riblah •, and they t gave judgment 
upon him. 

7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his 
eyes, and m put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and n bound 
him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon. 

8 And in the ° fifth month, on the seventh day of 
the month, (which is the nineteenth year of king Ne- 
buchadnezzar king of Babylon,) came Nebuzar-adan, 
captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, 
unto Jerusalem : 

9 And he p burnt the house of the Lord, and the 
king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and 
q . every great man's house burnt he with fire. 

10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with 
the captain of the guard, brake down ' the walls of 
Jerusalem round about. 

1 1 Now the rest of the people that tcere left in the 
city, and the B fugitives that fell away to the king of 
Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did 
Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, carry away. 

12 But the captain of the guard left of the l poor 
of the land to be vine-dressers and husbandmen. 

1 3 And the u pillars of brass that were in the house 
of the Lord, and die bases, and the * brazen sea that 



icas in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldees break 
in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon. 

1 4 And the >' pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, 
and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass, wherewith 
they ministered, took they away. 

15 And the z fire-pans, and the bowls, and such 
things as were t of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, 
the captain of the guard took awa) 7 . 

16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases, which 
Solomon had made for the house of the Lord ; the 
brass of all these vessels was without weight. 

17 The height of the one pillar was a eighteen cu- 
bits, and the chapiter upon it was brass : and the height 
of the chapiter three cubits ; and the wreathen work, 
and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all 
of brass : and like unto these had the second pillar 
with wreathen work. 

18 And the captain of the guard took b Seraiah the 
c chief priest, and Zephaniah the d second priest, and 
the three keepers of the tdoor: 

1 9 And out of the city he took an officer that was 
set over the men of war, and e five men of them that 
were t in the king's presence, which were found in 
the city, and the f principal scribe of the host, which 
mustered the people of the land, and threescore men 
of the people of the land that were found in the city : 

20 And Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, took 
these, and brought them to the king of Baby Ion toRiblah. 

21 And the king of Babylon s smote them, and 
slew them at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. So 
h Judah was carried away out of their land. 

22 And as for the people that ' remained in the land 
of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 
had left, even over them he made k Gedaliah the son 
of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler. 

23 And when all the ' captains of the armies, they 
and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had 
made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah, to 
m Mizpah, even lshmael the son of Nethaniah, and 
Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of 
Tanhumeth the D Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the 
son of a Maachalhite, they and their men. 

24 And Gedaliah ° sware to them, and to their men, 
and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of 
the Chaldees : dwell in the land, and serve the king 
of Babylon, and it shall be well with you. 

25 But it came to pass, in the p seventh month, that 
lshmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, 
of the seed t royal, came, and ten men with him, and 
q smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the 
Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah. 

26 And all the people, both small and great, and 
the captains of the armies, arose, and came to r Egypt : 
for they were afraid of the Chaldees. 

27 H And it came to pass, in the 8 seven and thir- 
tieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, 
in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day 
of the month, that ' Evil-merodach king of Babylon, 
in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the u head 
of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison; 

28 And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne 
above the throne of the kings that were with him in 
Babylon ; .. , 

29 And * changed his prison-garments: and he did cat 
• v bread continually before him all the dayfl ol his hie. 

30 And his allowance was a continual allowance 
given him of the king, x a daily rate for every day, all 

h<> days of his life.

9 T And Jabez was h more honourable than his

ing, Because ' I bare him with sorrow. 

1 And Jabez k called on the God of Israel, saying, 
Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and ' enlarge 
my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and 
that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not 
grieve me ! And m God granted him that which he 
requested.

because there was pasture there for their flocks. 

42 And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, 
five hundred men, went to ° mount Seir, having for 
their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, 
and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi. 

43 And they smote the p rest of the Amalekites 
that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day. 

CHAP. V. 

The line of Reuben unto the captivity. 

NOW the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel, 
(for he was the first-born ; but forasmuch as he 
a defiled his father's bed, his b birthright was given 
unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel : and the 
genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. 

2 For Judah c prevailed above his brethren, and of 
him came the [| chief ruler ; but the d birthright was 
Joseph's ;) 

3 The sons, / say, of e Reuben the first-born of 
Israel, were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 

4 The sons of Joel ; Shemaiah his son, Gog his 
son, Shimei his son, 

5 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son, 

6 Beerah his son, whom f Tilgath-pilneser king of 
Assyria carried away captive : he was prince of the 
Reubenites. 

7 And his brethren by their families, (when the 
genealogy of their generations was reckoned,) were 
the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 

8 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the 
son of Joel, who dwelt in g Aroer, even unto h Nebo 
and Baal-meon : 

9 And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in 
of the wilderness from the river Euphrates ; because 
their 'cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead. 

10 And in the days of Saul they made war with 
the k Hagarites, who fell by their hand : and they 
dwelt in their tents t throughout all the east land of 
Gilead. 

1 1 And the children of Gad || dwelt over against 
them, in the land of ' Bashan, unto m Salcah : 

12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and 
Jaanai. and Shaphat in n Bashan. 

1 3 And their brethren of the house of their fathers 
were Michael, and Meshulla-m, and Sheba, and Jorai, 
and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven. 

14 These are the children of Abihail the son of 
Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of 
Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the 
son of Buz ; 

15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of 
the house of their fathers. 

16 And they dwelt in Gilead in ° Bashan, and in 
her towns, and in all the suburbs of p Sharon, upon 
their borders. 

1 7 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the 
days of q Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of 
'Jeroboam king of Israel. 

18 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half 
the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to 
bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and 
skilful in war, were ■ four and forty thousand seven 
hundred and threescore, that went out to the war. 

19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with 
1 Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.

and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren 
lnm was the chief; 

1 8 (Who hitherto waited in p the king's gate east- 
ward :) they were porters in the companies of the 
children of Levi. 

1 9 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebia- 
saph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, (of the house 
of his father,) the Korahites, were over the work of 
the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle : 
and their q fathers, being over the host of the Lord, 
were keepers of the entry. 

20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the r ruler 
over them in time past, and the Lord was s with him. 

21 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was por- 
ter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 

22 All these, which were chosen to be porters in the 
gates, were two hundred and twelve. These were 
reckoned by their genealogy in their villages ; whom 
4 David and u Samuel the seer t did ordain in their set 
office. 

23 So they and their children had the oversight of 
the gates of the house of the Lord, namely, the house 
of the x tabernacle, by wards. 

24 In four quarters were the porters, toward the 
east, west, north, and south. 

25 And their brethren, which were in their villages, 
were to come after seven days from time to time with 
them. 

26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were 
in their set office, and were over the r chambers and 
treasuries of the house of God. 

27 And they lodged round about the house of God, 
because the charge ivas upon them, and the opening 
thereof every t morning pertained to them. 

28 And certain of them had the charge of the z mi- 
nistering vessels, that they should bring them in and 
out by tale. 

29 Some of them also were appointed to oversee 
the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, 
and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the 
frankincense, and the spices. 

30 And some of the sons of the priests made the 
ointment of the spices. 

31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was 
the first-born of Shallum the Korahite, had the set 
office over the things that were made in the a pans. 

32 And other of their brethren, of the sons of the 
Kohathites were over the b shevv-bread, to prepared 
every t sabbath. 

33 And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of 
the Levites, who remaining in the c chambers were 
free ; for they t were employed in that work day and 
night. 

34 These chief fathers of the Levites were chief 
throughout their generations : these dwelt at Jeru- 
salem. 

35 IT And in d Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, 
Jehiel, whose |J wife's name was Maachah : 

36 And his first-born son Abdon, then Zur, and 
Kish, and Baal, and e Ner, and Nadab, 

37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and 
Mikloth. 

38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also 
dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against 
their brethren. 

39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; 
and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-shua, and Abi- 
nadab, and Esh-baal.

40 And the son of Jonathan was Merib-baal 
Merib-baal begat Micah. 

41 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Me- 
lech, and Tahrea, and f Ahaz. 

42 And Ahaz begat || Jarah ; and Jarah begat Ale- 
meth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri ; and Zimri begat 
Moza ; 

43 And Moza begat Binea ; and Rephaiah his son, 
Eleasah his son, Azel his son. 

44 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, 
Azrikam, Bocheru, and || Ishmael, and Sheariah, and 
Obadiah, and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.

2 Saul's overthrow, 8 The Philistines triumph over Said. 
OW the a Philistines fought against Israel , and 
the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, 
and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. 

2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and 
after his sons; and the Philistines slew b Jonathan, 
and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 

3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the 
c archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers. 

4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy 
sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these 
uncircumcised come and d abuse me. But his armour- 
bearer would not ; for he was sore afraid. So Saul 
took a sword, and fell upon it. 

5 And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was 
dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died. 

6 So Saul died, and his e three sons, and f all lis 
house died together. 

7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the 
g valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons 
were dead, then they forsook their cities and fled : and 
the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 

8 IT And it came to pass on the morrow, when the 
Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul 
and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa. 

9 And when they had '' stripped him. they took his 
head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the 
Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their 
1 idols, and to the people. 

10 And they put his armour in the house of their 
k gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. 

1 1 IT And when all ' Jabesh-gilcad heard all that 
the Philistines had done to Saul, 

12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away 
the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and 
brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under 
the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days. 

13 IT So Saul died for his transgression which he 
committed against the Lord, even against m the word 
of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for " ask- 
ing counsel of one that had, a familiar spirit, to inquire 
of it ; 

1 4 And ° inquired not of the Lord : therefore he 
p slew him, and q turned the kingdom unto David Lhe 
son of Jesse.

David by a general consent is made king at Hebron. 

THEN a all Israel 'gathered themselves to David 
unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we arc thy bone 
and thy flesh. 

2 And, moreover, in time past, even when SfUll 
was king, thou wast lie that leddest out and broughtest 
in Israel : and the Lord thy God said unto thee, Thou

3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king 
to Hebron ; and David made a covenant with them 
in Hebron before the Lord : and they c anointed Da- 
vid king over Israel, according to the word of the 
Lord by Samuel. 

4 And d David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, 
which is Jebus ; where the Jebusites were., the inha- 
bitants of the land. 

5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou 
shalt e not come hither. Nevertheless David took the 
f castle of Zion, which is the city of David. 

6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebu- 
sites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the 
g son of Zeruiah went h first up, and was chief. 

7 And David dwelt in the castle ; therefore they 
called ' it The city of David. 

8 And he built the city round about, even from 
Millo round about : and Joab repaired the rest of the 
city. 

9 So David waxed greater and greater : for the 
Lord of hosts was k with him. 

1 IT These also are the chief of the mighty men 
whom David had, who strengthened themselves with 
him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him 
king, ' according to the word of the Lord concerning 
Israel. 

1 1 And this is the number of the mighty men whom 
David had ; Jashobeam a Hachmonite, the chief of the 
captains : he lifted up his spear against m three hundred, 
slain by him at one time. 

1 2 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the 
n Ahohite, who urns one of the ° three mighties : 

1 3 He was with David at p Pas-dammim, and there 
the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where 
was a parcel of ground full of barley ; and the people 
'• fled from before the Philistines. 

14 And they r set themselves in the midst of that 
parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines ; and 
the Lord s saved them by a great deliverance. 

1 5 Now three of the thirty captains l went down to 
the rock of David, into the cave of " Adullam ; and 
the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of 
Rephaim. 

16 And David was then in the hold, and the Philis- 
tines' s garrison was then at Beth-lehem. 

1 7 And David longed, and said, || Oh, that one 
would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth- 
lehem, that is at the gate ! 

1 8 And the three y brake through the host of the 
Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth- 
lehem that ivas by the gate, and took it, and brought 
it to David : but David would not drink of it, but 
poured it out to the Lord, 

19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should 
do this thing : shall I drink the blood of these men 
that have put their lives in jeopardy? for t with the 
jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore lie 
would not drink it. These things did these three 
mightiest. 

20 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief 
of z the three : for lifting up his spear against three 
hundred, he slew them, and |j had a name among the 
three. 

21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the 
two, for he was their captain 5 howbeit he attained 
not to a tne first three. 

22 b Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a 
valiant man of c Kabzeel, f w bo had done many acts ; 



A catalogue of David? s icorlhies. 
he slew lI two lion-like men of Moab : also he went 
down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.

23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great sta- ^-v^

to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the 4 ' 
Egyptian's hand, and slew him with f his own spear. 

24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 
and had the name among the three g mighties. 

25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty,

8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves 
unto David, into the k hold to the wilderness, men of 
might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could 
handle shield and buckler, whose ' faces were like the 
faces of lions, and were as t swift as the roes upon the 
mountains ; 

9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the 
third, 

1 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth, 

1 1 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, 

12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, 

1 3 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh. 

1 4 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the 
host : one || of the least was over a hundred, and the 
greatest over a thousand. 

1 5 These are they that went over Jordan in the 
m first month, when it had overflown n all his banks ; 
and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both to- 
ward the east and toward the west. 

16 And there came of the children of Benjamin 
and Judah to the hold unto David. 

1 7 And David went out to meet them, and answer- 
ed and said unto them, If ye be come t peaceably 
unto me to help me, ° my heart shall be knit unto 
you : but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, 
seeing there is no wrong p in my hands, the God of our 
fathers look q thereon, and rebuke it. 

18 Then the spirit t came upon Amasai, who was 
chief r of the captains, and he said, Thine s are we, 
David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse : peace, 
peace be unto thee, and peace be to l thy helpers ; 
for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, 
and made them " captains of the band. 

1 9 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when 
lie came with the Philistines against Saul to battle ; 
but they helped them not : for the lords of the Philis- 
tines, upon advisement, sent him away, saying, He 
will fall K to his master Saul, to the jeopardy of our 
heads. 

20 As he went to y Ziklag, there fell to him of Ma- 
nasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Mi- 
chael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains 
of the thousands that were of Manasseh. 

21 And they helped David z against the band of the 
rovers : for they were all mighty a men of valour, and 
were captains in the host. 

22 For at that time, day by day, there came to Da- 
vid to help him, until it was a b great host, like the host 
of God. 

23 And these are the numbers of the bands that 
were ready armed to the war, and came to David to 
Hebron, to turn c the kingdom of Saul to him, accord- 
ing to the word of the Lord. 

24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear 
were six d thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to 
the war. 

25 Of the children of e Simeon, mighty men of 
vaiour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred. 

2G Of the children of f Levi, four thousand and six

Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for 
the battle, a hundred and twenty thousand. 

38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, 
came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David 
king over all Israel : and all the rest also of Israel 
were of one heart to make David king. 

39 And there they were with David three days, 
k eating and drinking : for their brethren had prepared 
for them. 

40 Moreover, they that were nigh them, even unto u ^- 2 < 4 ^ 7 
Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread Js.'™"' 25, 
on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen ; ?£am.ii5;i 
and || meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of rai- 
sins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abun- 
dantly : for there was 'joy in Israel. 

CHAP. XIII. 

David fetcheth the ark from Kirjath-jcanm. 

AND David a consulted with the captains of thou- 
sands and hundreds, and with every leader. 

2 And David said unto all the congregation of Is- 
rael, If it b seem good unto you, and that it be of the 
Lord our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren 
every where, that are c left in all the land of Israel, 
and with them also to the priests and Lcvites which are 
in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather them- 
selves unto us : 

3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: 
for we u inquired not at it in the days of Saul. 

4 And all the congregation said that they would do 
so : for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 

5 So David e gathered all Israel together, from 
r Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of I J email), 
to bring the ark of God from ? Kiijalli-jeaiim. 

6 And David went up, and all Israel, to '' Baalah, 
that is, to Kiijath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to f»i 
bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that ' d\\ ell- j| ^ ■ 
eth between the chcrttbims, whose name is called on it. 19, is."

and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cym-

9 And when they came unto the threshing-floor of 
Chidon, Uzza ' put forth his hand to hold the ark ; 
for the oxen stumbled. 

1 And the m anger of the Lord was kindled against 
Uzza, and he smote him, n because he put his hand 
to the 'ark : and there he ° died before God. 

1 1 And David was displeased, because the Lord 
had made a breach upon Uzza : wherefore that place 
is called Perez-uzza to this day. 

1 2 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, 
How shall I bring the ark of God home to me ? 

1 3 So David brought not the ark home to himself 
to the city of David, but carried it aside into the 
house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 

14 And the ark of God remained with the family of 
Obed-edom p in his house three months. And the 
Lord q blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that 
he had. 

CHAP. XIV. 

1 Hiram's kindness to David ; 2 His felicity. 
OW a Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to 
David, and timber of cedars, with masons and 
carpenters to build him a house. 

2 And David perceived that b the Lord had con- 
firmed him king over Israel ; for his kingdom was 
c lifted up on high, because of his people Israel. 

3 IT And David took d more wives at Jerusalem : 
and David begat more sons and daughters. 

4 Now these are the names of his children which 
he had in Jerusalem ; e Shammua, and Shobab, Na- 
than, and Solomon, 

5 And Ibhar, and f Elishua, and g Elpalet, 

6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 

7 And Elisbama, and '' Beeliada, and Eliphalet. 

8 1 And when the Philistines heard that ' David 
was anointed king over all Israel, k all the Philistines 
went up to seek David : and David heard of it, and 
went out against them. 

9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves 
in the ' valley of Rephaim. 

10 And David ""inquired of God, saying, Shall I 
go up against the Philistines 1 and wilt thou deliver 
them into my hand ? And the Lord said unto him, 
Go up ; for I will deliver them into thy hand. 

11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David 
smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken 
in upon mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking 
forth of waters : therefore they called the name of that 
place || Baal-perazim. 

12 And when they had left their n gods there, David 
gave a commandment, and they were burnt with fire. 

13 And the Philistines °yet again spread them- 
selves abroad in the valley. 

1 4 Therefore David inquired again of God : and 
God said unto him, Go not up after them ; turn away 
from them, and p come upon them over against the 
mulberry-trees. 

1 5 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear q a sound 
of going in the r tops of the mulberry-trees, that then 
thou shalt go out to battle : for God is gone forth be- 
fore thee to smite the host of the Philistines. 

1 6 David therefore did as God commanded him : 
and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon 
even to Gazer. 



The ark brought from Obed 

1 7 And the ■ fame of David went out into all lands ; 
and the Lord brought the l fear of him upon all nations. 
CHAP. XV. 

1 David ordereth the priests and Levites to bring the ark 
from Obed-edom : 25 He perforineth the solemnity thereof 
with great joy : 29 Michal despiseth him. 

ND David made him houses in the a city of Da- 
vid, and prepared a place for the ark of God, 
and pitched for it a b tent. 

2 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark 
of God but the c Levites : for them hath the Lord 
chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto 
him for ever. 

3 And David d gathered all Israel together to Je- 
rusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord unto his 
place which he had prepared for it. 

4 And David assembled the e children of Aaron, 
and the Levites : 

5 Of the sons of f Kohath ; Uriel the chief, and 
his brethren, a hundred and twenty. 

6 Of the sons of g Merari ; Asaiah the chief, and 
his brethren, two hundred and twenty. 

7 Of the sons of h Gershom ; Joel the chief, and 
his brethren, a hundred and thirty. 

8 Of the sons of ' Elizaphan ; Shemaiah the chief, 
and his brethren, two hundred. 

9 Of the sons of k Hebron ; Eliel the chief, and his 
brethren, fourscore. 

10 Of the sons of ' Uzziel ; Amminadab the chief, 
and his brethren, a hundred and twelve. 

1 1 And David called for m Zadok and Abiathar the 
priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and 
Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, 

12 And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the 
fathers of the Levites ; n sanctify yourselves, both ye 
and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of 
the Lord God of Israel unto the place that I have 
prepared for it. 

1 3 For because ye ° did it not at the first, the Lord 
our God made p a breach upon us, for that we sought 
him not q after the due order. 

1 4 So the priests and the Levites r sanctified them- 
selves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel. 

1 5 And the children of the s Levites bare the ark 
of God upon their shoulders, with the staves thereon, 
1 as Moses commanded, according to the word of the 
Lord. 

16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to 
appoint their brethren to be the u singers with instru- 
ments of music, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, 
sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy. 

1 7 So the Levites appointed x Heman the son of 
Joel ; and of his brethren, y Asaph the son of Bere- 
chiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, 
z Ethan the son of Kushaiah ; 

18 And with them their brethren of the second de- 
gree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, 
and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maa- 
seiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah; 
and Obed-edom and Jeiel the porters. 

19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were 
appointed to sound with cymbals of brass ; 

20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, 
and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and 
Benaiah, with psalteries on || Alamoth ; 

21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, 
and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps 
on the a Sheminith to excel.

22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Leviles, was t for 
song : he instructed about the song, because he was 
skilful. 

23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-keepers 
for the ark. 

24 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Netha- 
neel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and 
Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the b trumpets be- 
fore the ark of God ; and Obed-edom and Jehiah 
were door-keepers for the ark. 

25 IT So David, and the elders of Israel, and the 
captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of 
the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obed- 
edom c with joy. 

26 And it came to pass, when God helped d the 
Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
that they offered e seven bullocks and seven rams. 

27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, 
and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, 
and Chenaniah the master of the song with the sing- 
ers : David also had upon him an ephod of linen. 

28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord with shouting, and with f sound of 
the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, 
making a noise with psalteries and harps. 

29 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant 
of the Lord came to the city of David, that Michal, 
the daughter of Saul, looking out at a window, saw 
king David dancing and playing : aud she E despised 
him in her heart.

1 David's festival sacrifice : 7 His psalm of thanksgiving. 

SO they a brought the ark of God, and set it in the 
midst of the tent that David had pitched for it : 
and they offered b burnt-sacrifices and peace-offerings 
before God. 

2 And when David had made an end of offering 
the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he c blessed 
the people in the name of the Lord. 

3 And he d dealt to eveiy one of Israel, both man 
and e woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a 
good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. 

. 4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to mi- 
nister before the ark of the Lord, and to f record, and 
to thank and praise the g Lord God of Israel : 

5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, 
and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and 
Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom ; and Jeiel with 
psalteries and with harps ; but Asaph made a sound 
with cymbals ; 

6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priest with trum- 
pets h continually before the ark of the covenant of 

bod. 

7 IT Then on that day ' David delivered k first this 
psalm, to thank the Lord, into the hand of Asaph and 
his brethren. 

8 Give ' thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, 
m make known his deeds among the people. 

9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk n ye of 
all his wondrous works. 

10 Glory ye in his holy name : let the heart of them 
rejoice that seek the Lord. 

1 1 Seek the Lord and ° his strength, seek his p face 
continually. 

12 Remember q his marvellous works that he hath 
done, his wonders, and the r judgments of his mouth ; 

13 O ye seed of B Israel his servant, ye children of 
Jacob his ' chosen ones.

42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, with

the sons of Jeduthun were porters. 

43 And all the people departed, every man to his

CHAP. XVII. 

1 Nathan promiseth David a blessing. 16 David's prayer. 

OW it came to pass, as David sat in his a house, 

that David said to Nathan b the prophet, Lo, 

c I dwell in a house of cedars, but the d ark of the 

covenant of the Lord remaineth under curtains. 

2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do e all that is in 
thy heart ; for f God is with thee. 

3 And it g came to pass the same night, that the 
word of God came to Nathan, saying, 

4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the 
h2Sam. 7, Lord, Thou h shalt not build me a house to dwell in : 

5 For I have not dwelt in a house since the day 
that I brought up Israel unto this day ; but have gone 
' from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 

6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake 
I a word to any of the k judges of Israel, whom I 
commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye 
not built me a house of cedars ? 

7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my ser- 
vant David, Thus saith the ' Lord of hosts, I took 
thee from the sheepcote, even from m following the 
sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people 
Tsrael ; 

8 And ° I have been with thee whithersoever thou 
hast walked, and have ° cut off all thine enemies from 
before thee, and have made thee a name like the 
name of the great men that are in the earth. 

9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, 
and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their 
place, and shall be moved no more ; neither shall the

at the beginning, 

10 And since the time that I commanded judges to 
be over my people Israel. Moreover, I will r subdue 
all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee, that the 
s Lord will build thee a house. 

1 1 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be 
expired, that thou must * go to be with thy fathers, 
that I #7iH raise up thy seed u after thee, which shall 
be of thy sons ; and I will stablish x his kingdom. 

12 He y shall build me a house, and I will stablish 
his throne z for ever. 

13 I will be his a father, and he shall be my son ; 
and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I 
took it from him that was before thee : . 

1 4 But I will settle him in b my house and in my 
kingdom for ever ; and his throne shall be established 
for c evermore. 

15 According to all these words, and according to 
all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 

16 And David the king came and sat before the 
Lord, and said, d Who am I, O Lord God, and what 
is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto ? 

1 7 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O 
God ; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house

1 9 O Lord, for thy s servant's sake, and h according 
to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, 
in making known all these great things. 

20 O Lord, there is ' none like thee, neither is there 
any God besides thee, according to all that we have w 
k heard with our ears. ?i ,h - '• ?J- 

21 And what one nation in the earth l is like thy isam.2,2!

people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? aus 20,23. 

22 For thy people Israel didst thou make n thine 1 Tim. 3,16. 
own people for ever ; and thou, Lord, becamest their 2I N " n ' 7 
God. 

23 Therefore now, Lord, ° let the thing that thou ° Ezek - 36 
hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning 7 ' 

his house, be established for ever, and do as thou hast 
said. 

24 Let it even be established, that thy name may 
be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is 
the God of Israel, even a God to Israel : and let the 
house of David thy servant be established before thee. 

25 For thou, p O my God, t hast told thy servant 
that thou wilt build him a house ; therefore thy ser- 
vant hath found in his heart to pray before thee. 

26 And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast q pro- 
mised this goodness upto thy servant ; 

27 Now, therefore, let it please thee to bless the 
house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for 
ever : for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed

David subdveth the Philistines and the Moabites. 
OW after this it came to pass, that David smote 
the Philistines, and subdued them, and took 
a Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 

2 And he smote Moab : and the Moabites became 
b Davfel's servants, and brought gifts. 

3 And David smote c Hadarezer king of Zobah un- 
to Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by 
the river d Euphrates. 

4 And David took from him a thousand e chariots, 
and f seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand 24. 
footmen: David also houghed all the chariot-//orscs, ^g&^Ys 
but E reserved of them a hundred chariots. 

5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help 
Hadarezer king of Zobah, David h slew of the Syrians 
two and twenty thousand men. 

6 Then David put garrisons in ' Syria-damascus ; f£ no 
and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought 
gifts. Thus the Lord k preserved David whither- 
soever he went. 

7 And David took the ' shields of gold that were 
on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to 
ai Jerusalem. 

8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of 
Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, where- 
with n Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, nl Kings- i\ 
and the vessels of brass. 2Chr.4, 15.

pPs. 72, 10. t | ie c i^u ren of Amnion,- and from the Philistines, and

1 2 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the

13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the 
Edomites became David's servants. Thus the Lord 
preserved David whithersoever he went. 

14 So David reigned over all Israel, and s executed 
judgment and justice among all his people. 

15 And l Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host ; 
and u Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder. 

16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech 
xiSam.21, the son of Abiathar, were the x priests; and Shavsha 

was scribe ; 

1 7 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the 
Cherethites and the Pelethites ; and the sons of David 
were chief about the king.

David sendeth messengers to comfort Hanun the son of 
JVahash. 

NOW a it came to pass after this, that b Nahash 
the king of the children of Amnion died, and 
his c son reigned in his stead. 

2 And David said, 1 will shew kindness unto Ha- 
i. ' nun the son of Nahash, d because his father shewed 
d 2 Sam. 9, kindness to me. And David sent messengers to com- 
fort him concerning his father. So the servants of Da- 
vid came into the land of the children of Ammon to 
Hanun, e to comfort him. 

3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said 
to Hanun, t Thinkest thou that David doth honour 
thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee ? 
are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and 
to overthrow, and f to spy out the land ?

4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and

5 Then there went certain, and told David how 
the men were served. And he sent to meet them ; 
(for the hicn were greatly ashamed.) And the king 
said, Tarry at ' Jericho until your beards be grown, 
and then return. 

6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they 
had made themselves t odious to David, Hanun and 
the children of Amnion sent a thousand talents of sil- 
ver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Meso- 
potamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah. 

7 So they hired k thirty and two thousand chariots, 
and the king of Maachah and his people, who came 
and pitched before ' Medeba. And the children of 
Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, 
and came to batlle. 

8 And when David heard of it, he sent m Joab, and 
all the host of the " mighty men. 

9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put 
the battle in array before the gate of the ° city; and

Rabbah is besieged by Joab, and spoiled by David. 

ND it came to pass, that t after the year was 
expired, at the time that a kings go out to battle, 
Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the the year, 
country of the children of Amnion, and came and be- I'^m!;] 1 ^' 
sieged Rabbah; (but David b tarried at Jerusalem.) 22. 
And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it. ** |^s s 

2 And David took the c crown of their king from biSam. 11, 
off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, 23 j r 

and there were precious stones in it: and it was set c2Sam.i2, 
upon David's head : and he brought also exceeding 30 - 
much spoil out of the city. 

3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and 

cut them with d saws, and with harrows of iron, and d£$am.n, 
with axes : even so dealt David with all the cities of 3 .^ b n 37 
the children of Amnion. And David and all the 
people returned to Jerusalem. 

4 IT And it came to pass B after this, that there arose 
war at f Gezer with the Philistines, at which time Sib- 
becai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the chil- 
dren of the giant: and they were g subdued. 

5 And there was war again with the Philistines; 
and EHiauan the son of h Jair slew Lahmi, I lie brother 
of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear's staff was like a 
weaver's beam. 

6 And yet again ' there was war at Gath, where ^ s "" -'

David numbereth the people : 

they l fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of 
his servants. 

CHAP. XXL 

David, tempted by Satan, forceth Joab to number the people. 

ND a Satan stood up against Israel, and b pro- 
voked David to number Israel. 

2 And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the 
people, Go, number Israel, from c Beer-sheba even 
to Dan ; and bring the number of them to me, that I 
may know it. 

3 And Joab answered, The Lord t make his peo- 
ple a hundred times so many more as they be „• but, 
my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants ? 
why then doth my lord require this thing ? why will he 
be a cause of trespass to Israel ? 

4 d Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against 
Joab : wherefore Joab departed, and went e through- 
out all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 

5 IT And Joab gave the sum of the number of the 
people unto David. And all they of Israel were f a 
thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that 
drew sword : and Judah was four hundred threescore 
and ten thousand men that drew sword. 

6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among 
them ; for the king's word was g abominable to Joab. 

7 And God was displeased with this thing ; there- 
fore he h smote Israel. 

8 And David said unto God, I have ' sinned great- 
ly, because I have done this thing : but now, I beseech 
thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant ; for I have 
done very foolishly. 

9 And the Lord spake unto Gad, David's k seer, 
saying, _ . 

10 Go and tell David, saying, ! Thus saith the Lord, 
I offer thee three things: m choose thee one of them, 
that I may do it unto thee. 

1 1 So Gad n came to David, and said unto him, 
Thus saith the Lord, Choose thee 

12 Either three years' ° famine ; or three months to 
p be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of 
thine enemies overtaketh thee ; or else three days the 
sword of the Lord, even the pestilence, in the land, 
and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout 
all the coasts of Israel. Now, therefore, advise 
thyself what word I shall bring again to him that 
sent me. 

1 3 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait : 
let me fall now into the hand of the Lord ; for || very 
great are his mercies : but let me i not fall into the 
hand of man. 

1 4 So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel : and 
there fell of Israel r seventy thousand men. 

15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to de- 
stroy it : and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, 
and he s repented him of the evil, and said to the angel 
that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. 
And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing-floor 
of Oman the Jebusite. 

16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel 
of the Lord stand between the earth and the heaven, 
having ' a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over 
Jerusalem : then David and the elders of Israel, who 
were u clothed in sackcloth, x fell upon their faces. 

1 7 And David said unto God, Is it not I that com- 
manded the people to be numbered ? even I it is that 
have sinned and done evil indeed : but as for these 
y sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray, 
thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father's!

house ; but not on thy people, that they should be 
plagued. 

1 8 Then the z angel of the Lord commanded a Gad 
to say to David, that David should go up, and set up 
an altar unto the Lord in the threshing-floor of Oman 
the Jebusite. 

19 And David went up at b the- saying of Gad, 
which he spake in the name of the Lord. 

20 And Oman turned back, and saw the angel ; 23^. 
and his four sons with him c hid themselves. Now c p r . 22, 3. 
Oman was d threshing wheat. d2Sam.24, 

21 And as David came to Oman, Oman looked, and 
e saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and 
f bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. 

22 Then David said to Oman, t Grant me the place 
of 'this threshing-floor, that I may build an altar 
therein unto the Lord ; thou shalt grant it me for the 
full price, that the plague may be stayed from the 
people. 

23 And Oman said unto David, Take it to thee, 
and let my lord the king do that zvhich is good in his 
eyes : lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt-offerings, 
and the g threshing instruments for wood, and the 
wheat for the meat-offering : I give it all. 

24 And king David said to Oman, Nay ; but I 
will verily h buy it for the full price : for I will not take 
that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer burnt-offer- 
ings without cost. 

25 So David gave to Oman for the place ' six hun- 
dred shekels of gold by weight. 

26 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, 
and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and 
called upon the Lord ; and he answered him from 
heaven k by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering. k Lev. 9,m, 

27 And the Lord commanded the angel ; and he L Ki " 8s 18 
1 put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. 2 chr. 7,1. 

28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord Ps - 20 > 3 - 
had answered him in the threshing-floor of Oman the i sa . S i2, i. ' 
Jebusite, then he sacrificed m there. 

29 For the a tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses 
made in the wilderness, and the ° altar of the buvnt- 
offering, were at that season in the high place at 
p Gibeon : 

30 But David could not go before it to inquire of 4 
God : for he was q afraid, because of the sword of the 120!' 
angel of the Lord. Ezek - 9. 6.

David instructeth Solomon in God's promises, and his duty

THEN David said, a This is the house of the Lord a-Deut. 12.

for Israel. 

2 And David commanded to gather together the 

h strangers that were in the land of Israel ; and he set b 1 Kings 9, 
masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of 20 ' 21, 
God. 

3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the

and brass in abundance c without weight ; c 1 Kings 7,

6 Then lie called for Solomon his son. and charged 
him to build ' a house for the Lord God of Israel. 

7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, 
it was in k my mind to build a house unto the name of 
the Lord ' my God : 

8 But the D1 word of the Lord came to me, saying, 
n Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made 
great ware : thou shalt not build a house unto my 
name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the 
earth in my sight. 

9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be 
a man of rest ; and 1 will give him rest from all his 
enemies round about : for his name shall be Solomon, 
and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his 
days. 

10 p He shall build a house for my name, and he 
shall be my son, and I will be his father ; and I will 
q establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for 
ever. 

1 1 Now, my son, r the Lord be with thee ; and 
prosper thou, and build the house of the Lord thy 
God, as he hath said of thee. 

12 Only the Lord give thee s wisdom and under- 
standing, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that 
thou mayest keep the law of the Lord thy God. 

13 * Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to 
fulfil the statutes and judgments which the Lord 
charged Moses with concerning Israel : be strong, 
and of good courage ; dread not, nor be dismayed. 

1 4 Now, behold, in my u trouble I have prepared 
for the house of the Lord || a hundred thousand ta- 
lents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of sil- 
ver ; and of brass and iron without weight ; for it is 
in abundance : timber also and stone have I prepared ; 
and thou mayest add thereto. 

15 Moreover, there are workmen with thee in 
abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, 
and all manner of cunning men for every manner of 
work. 

16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the 
iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be 
doing, and the Lord be with thee. 

17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel 
to help Solomon his son, saying, 

1 8 Is not the Lord your God with you ? and hath 
he not given you rest on every side ? for ho hath given 
the inhabitants of the land into my hand ; and the 
land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people. 

19 Now x set your heart and your soul to seek the 
Lord your God : arise, therefore, and [| build ye the 
sanctuary of the Lord God, y to bring the ark of the co- 
venant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into 
the house that is to be built to the z name of the Lord 

CHAP. XXIII. 

David in his old age makelh Solomon king. 

SO when David was a old and full of days, he 
b made Solomon his son king over Israel. 

2 And he c gathered together all the princes of Is 
rael, with the priests and the Levites. 

3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age 
of d thirty years and upward ; and their number by 
their polls, man by man, was thirty ami eight thousand. 

4 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set 
forward the work of the house of the Lord ; and six 
thousand were e officers and judges. 

5 Moreover, four thousand were porters : and four 
thousand f praised the Lord with the instruments 
which I made (said David) to praise therewith. 




XXIJT. The number and offices of the Levites. 

6 And David g divided them into t courses among 
the sons of Levi, namely, h Gershon, Kohath, and 
Merari. 

7 H Of the ' Gershonites were || Laadan and Shimei. 

8 The k sons of Laadan ; the chief was Jehiel, and 
Zetham, and Joel, three. 

9 The sons of Shimei ; Shelomith, and Haziel, 
and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fa- 
thers of Laadan. 

10 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and 
Jeush, and Beriah. These four ivere the sons of 
Shimei. 

11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the 
second ; but Jeush and Beriah t had not many sons ; 
therefore they were in one reckoning, according to 
their father's house. 

12 IF The sons of ' Kohath ; Amram, Izhar, He- 
bron, and Uzziel, four. 

13 The sons of m Amram ; Aaron and Moses ; and 
n Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify t the 
most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn in- 
cense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and ° to 
bless in his name for ever. 

1 4 Now concerning Moses the ? man of God, q his 
sons were named of the tribe of Levi. 

1 5 The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer. 

16 Of the r sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief. 

17 And the sons of s Eliezer were, Rehabiah the 
chief. And Eliezer had none other sons ; but the 
sons of Rehabiah t were very many. 

18 Of the sons of f Izhar ; u Shelomith the chief. 

19 Of the sons of Hebron ; Jeriah the first, Ama- 
riah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam 
the fourth. 

20 Of the sons of Uzziel ; Micah the first, and 
Jesiah the second. 

21 IF x The sons of Merari ; Mahli and Mushi. 
The sons of Mahli ; Eleazar and Kish. 

22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but y daugh- 
ters : and their brethren the sons of Kish z took them. 

23 The sons of Mushi ; Mahli, and Eder, and Je- 
rimoth, three. 

24 IT These were the sons of a Levi, after the house 
of their fathers ; even the chief of the fathers, as they 
were counted by number of names by their polls, that 
did the b work for the service of the house of the 
Lord, from the age of c twenty years and upward. 

25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel hath 
given d rest unto his people, that they may dwell e in 
Jerusalem for ever : 

26 And also unto the Levites ; they shall f no more 
carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the ser- 
vice thereof. 

27 For by the last words of David, the Levites 
were numbered from twenty years old and above : 

28 Because t their office was to wait on the sons of 
Aaron, for the s service of the house of the Lord, in 
the h courts, and in the chambers, and in (he purify- 
ing of all holy things, and the work of the service oi 
the house of God ; . _ 

29 Both for the '' shew-brend, and for the hue 
flour for meatoffering, and for (lie unleavened cakes, 
and for that which is baked in the pan, and tor that 
which is fried, and for all manner of measure and 
size "

in the sabbaths, in the ° new moons, and on the set

unto them, continually before the Lord : 

32 And that they should keep the q charge of the 
r tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the 
holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their 
brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord. 
CHAP. XXIV. 

The division of the sons of Aaron by lot into four and tzventy 
orders. 

OW these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. 
1 The sons of Aaron ; Nadab, and Abihu, 
Eleazar, and Ithamar. 

2 But b Nadab and Abihu died c before their father, 
and had d no children : therefore Eleazar and Ithamar 
executed the priest's office. 

3 And David distributed them, both e Zadok of the 
sons of Eleazar, and f Ahimelech of the sons of Itha- 
mar, according to their g offices in their service. 

4 And there were more chief men found of the sons 
of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar ; and thus 
were they divided : among the sons of Eleazar there 
were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, 
and eight among the sons of Ithamar, according to 
the house of their fathers. 

5 Thus were they divided h by lot, one sort with 
another : for the governors of the ' sanctuary, and 
governors of the house of God, were of the sons of 
Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. 

6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the k scribe, 
one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and 
the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the 
1 son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers 
of the priests and Levites: one t principal house- 
hold being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for 
Ithamar. 

7 Now the first lot came forth to m Jehoiarib, the 
second to Jedaiah, 

8 The third to n Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 

9 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 

10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to ° Abijah, 
] 1 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah, 

1 2 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 

13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to 
Jeshebeab, 

1 4 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 

15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to 
Aphses, 

16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to 
Jehezekel, 

1 7 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and 
twentieth to Gamul, 

1 8 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four 
and twentieth to Maaziah. 

19 These were the p orderings of them in their ser- 
vice, to come into the house of the Lord, q according 
to their manner, under Aaron their father, r as the 
Lord God of Israel had commanded him. 

20 IT And the rest of the sons of Levi were these : 
Of the sons of Amram ; s Shubael : of the sons of 
Shubael ; Jehdeiah. 

21 Concerning t Rehabiah; of the sons of Reha- 
biah, the first was Isshiah. 

22 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of 
Shelomoth ; Jahath. 

23 And the sons of" Hebron ; Jeriah the first, Ama- 
riali the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the 
fourth. 



24 Of the sons of Uzziel ; Michah : of the sons of 
Michah ; Shamir. 

25 The brother of Michah was Isshiah : of the sons 
of Isshiah ; Zechariah. 

26 IT The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi : 
the sons of Jaaziah ; x Beno. 

27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah ; Beno, and 
Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri. 

28 Of y Mahli came Eleazar, who had no z sons. 

29 Concerning Kish ; the son of Kish was Jerah- 
meel. 

30 The sons also of Mushi ; Mahli, and Eder, and 
Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites, after 
the house of their fathers. 

31 These likewise a cast lots over against their bre- 
thren the sons of Aaron, in the presence of David the 
king, and Zadok and Ahimelech, and the chief of the 
fathers of the priests and Levites, t even the principal 
fathers, over against their younger brethren. 

CHAP. XXV. 

The number and offices of the singers. 
OREOVER, a David, and the b captains of the 
host, separated to the service of the sons of 
c Asaph, and of" Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should 
J prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cym- 
bals : and the number of the t workmen, according 
to their service, was ; 

2 Of the sons of Asaph ; Zaccur, and Joseph, and 
Nethaniah, and || Asarelah, the sons of Asaph, under 
the hands of Asaph, which e prophesied t according to 
the order of the king. 

3 Of Jeduthun : the sons of Jeduthun ; Gedaliah, 
and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, 
six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who pro-

Lord. 

4 Of Heman: the sons of Heman ; Bukkiah, Mat- 
taniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, 
Hanani, Eiiathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Josh- 
bekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth : 

5 All these were the sons of Heman f the king's 
seer in the s words of God, to h lift up the horn. 
And ' God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three 
daughters. 

6 All these were under the hands of their father k for 
song in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, psal- 
teries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, 
according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and 
Heman. 

7 So the number of them with their brethren, that 
were instructed in the 1 songs of the Lord, even all 
that were cunning, was m two hundred fourscore and 
eight. 

8 And they cast lots, ward against n ward, t as well 
the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar. 

9 Now, the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph ; 
the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and 
sons were twelve : 

10 The third to Zaccur, he, his sons and his 
brethren, were twelve :

1 3 Also for the courses of the priests and the Le-

14 He gave of b gold by weight for things of gold, 
for all instruments of all manner of service ; c silver

struments of every kind of service : 

15 Even the weight for the '' candlesticks of gold, 
and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every can- 
dlestick, and for the lamps thereof; and for the can- 
dlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, 
and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of 
every candlestick. 

16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of 
e shew-bread, for eveiy table ; and likewise silver for 
the tables of silver : 

17 Also pure gold for the f flesh-hooks, and the

20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong,

10 Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all

23 Then Solomon sat on the ' throne of the Lord

and all Israel obeyed him. 

24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and 
all the sons likewise of king David, t submitted them-

25 And the Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly 
in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such

CHAP. I. 

Solomon's choice of wisdom is blessed by God. 
ND Solomon the son of David a was strength- 
ened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was 
^wiih him, c and magnified him exceedingly. 

2 Then Solomon d spake unto all Israel, to the cap- 
tains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, 
and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the 
fathers. 

3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, 
went to the e high place that was at Gibeon ; for there 
was the f tabernacle of the congregation of God, which 
Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the 
wilderness. 

4 But the ark of God had David brought up from 
E Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared 
for it : for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 

5 Moreover, the h brazen altar that Bezaleel, the 
son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before 
the tabernacle of the Lord ; and Solomon and the 
congregation ' sought unto it. 

6 And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar 
k before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the 
congregation, and offered a thousand burnt-offerings 
upon it. 

7 In that ' night did God appear unto Solomon, and 
said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 

S And Solomon said unto God,, Thou hast shewed 
great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me 
to reign m in his stead. 

9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David 
my father be established : for thou hast made me king 
over a people like the dust of the earth in n multitude. 

1 ° Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I 
may p go out and come in before this people : for who 
can q judge this thy people that is so great? 

J l And God said to Solomon, Because this was 



r in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, 
or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet 
hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and 
knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my 
people, over whom 1 have made thee king : 

1 2 a Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee ; 
and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, 
such as ' none of the kings have had that have been 
before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the 
like. 

13 IT Then Solomon came from his journey to the 
high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from be- 
fore the tabernacle of the congregation, and "reigned 
over Israel. 

14 And Solomon x gathered chariots and horsemen : 
and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and 
twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the 
chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 

15 And the y king made silver and gold at Jerusa- 
lem as plenteous as stones, and cedar-trees made he as 
the sycamore-trees that are in the vale for abundance. 

16 And Solomon had 'horses brought out of Egypt, 
and linen yarn ; the king's merchants received the 
linen yarn at a price. 

1 7 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of 
Egypt, a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and 
a horse for a hundred and fifty : and so brought they 
out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the 
kings of Syria, t by their means. 

CHAP. II. 
Solomon's labourers for the building of the temple. 

AND Solomon determined to build a house for the 
a name of the Lord, and a house b for his kingdom. 
2 And Solomon told out threescore and c ten thou- 
sand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to 
hew in the d mountain, and e three thousand and six 
hundred to oversee them.

3 And Solomon sent to f Huram the king of Tyre, 
saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and 
didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell 
therein, even so deal with vie. 

4 Behold, I build a house to the s name of the 
Lord my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn be- 
fore him sweet incense, and for the h continual shew- 
bread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and even- 
ing, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on 
the solemn feasts of the Lord our God. This is an 
ordinance for ever to Israel. 

5 And the house which I build is great : for great 
is our God ' above all gods. 

6 But k who is able to build him a house, seeing the 
heaven and \ heaven of heavens cannot contain him ? 
who am 1 then, that I should build him a house, save 
only to burn sacrifice before him ? 

7 Send me now, therefore, m a man cunning to 
work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, 
and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can 
skill n to grave with the cunning men that are with me 
in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father 



did ° provide.

8 Send me also p cedar-trees, fir-trees, and

vants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon ;) and, be- 
hold, r my servants shall be with thy servants, 

9 Even to prepare me timber in abundance : for 
the house which I am about to build shall be t won- 
derful great. 

10 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the 
hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand t measures 
of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of 
barley, and twenty thousand s baths of wine, and twen- 
ty thousand baths of oil. 

1 1 Then Huram the king of Tyre t answered in 
writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the Lord 
hath l loved his people, he hath made thee king over 
them. 

1 2 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the Lord God 
of Israel, that u made heaven and earth, who hath 
given to David the king a wise son, t endued with 
prudence and understanding, that might build a house 
for the Lord, and a house for his kingdom. 

13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued 
with understanding, of x Huram my father's. 

1 4 The y son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, 
and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in 
gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in 
timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in 
crimson ; also to grave any manner of graving, and 
to find out every device which shall be put to him, 
with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of 
my lord David thy father. 

1 5 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the 
oil. and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let 
him send unto his servants : 

16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, t as 
much as thou shalt need ; and we will bring it to thee 
in floats by sea to z Joppa, and thou shalt carry it up 
to Jerusalem. 

1 7 IT And Solomon numbered all the a strangers 
that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering 
wherewith David his father had numbered them ; and 
they were found a hundred and fifty thousand and 
three thousand and six hundred. 

18 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them 
to be b bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to

The place and time of building the temple. 

THEN Solomon a began to build the house of the a ' K >"g* 
Lord at Jerusalem in mount b Moriah, where t'cea. 22, 
the LORD c appeared unto David his father, in the 
place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor 
of d Oman the Jebusite. 

2 And he began to build in the e second day of the 
second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 

3 IF Now these are the things wherein Solomon was 
t instructed for the building of. the house of God. t.Heb. 
The f length by cubits, after the 6 first measure, was {°£^\ 
threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 12. 

4 And the h porch that was in the front of the house, ]j Chr - 28, 
the length of it was according to the breadth of the John 3, 34. 
house, twenty cubits, and the height was a hundred fi Kings 6, 
and twenty : and he overlaid it within with pure gold, g'j chr. 28, 

5 And the ' greater house he ceiled with k fir-tree, J*- ^ 
which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon G , 3. m 
1 palm-trees and chains. 

6 And he garnished the house with m precious 
stones for beauty : and the gold was gold of D Parvaim. 

7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, 
and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with 
gold ; and graved ° cherubims on the walls. 

8 And he made t the most holy house, the length 
whereof was according to the breadth of the house, |' s 20 - & ~ 9, 
twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: i Kings e, 
and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six 23 - 
hundred talents. home'ofka. 

9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of ">«;« °f 
gold. And he overlaid the p upper chambers with iKfags6,5. 
gold. 19. !?• , 

10 And in the most holy place he made two q cheru- ll Kin s s6 « 
bims of image work, and overlaid them with gold. Joim 14,2. 

1 1 And the r wings of the cherubims were twenty J,|S 
cubits long : one wing of the one cherub was five 24. 
cubits, reaching to the wall of the house ; and the 

other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the 
wing of the other cherub. 

12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, 
reaching to the wall of the house ; and the other 
wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the 
other cherub. 

13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves 
forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and 

their faces were || inward. \\Or,towara 

14 And he made the "vail of blue, and purple, and ^^V 
crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims sEx.26,3i! 
thereon. l^ 6 ' 

15 Also he made before the house two l pillars of Mat. 27,51. 
thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was j * K '"? s 7 - 
on the top of each of them was five cubits. Jer. 52,21 

16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put 
them on the heads of the pillars ; and made a hundred 
pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 

17 And he u reared up the pillars before the temple, u » Wogi 
one on the right hand, and the other on the left ; and 
called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and 

the name of that on the left Boaz.

brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the 
height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass 
it round about. 

3 And under it was the similitude of d oxen, which 
did compass it round about ; ten in a cubit, compass- 
ing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were 
cast when it was cast. 

4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward 
the north, and three looking toward the west, and 
three looking toward the south, and three looking 
toward the east ; and the sea was set above upon them, 
and all their hinder parts were inward. 

5 And the thickness of it was a hand-breadth, and 
the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with 
flowers of lilies ; and it received and held e three 
thousand baths. 

6 He made also f ten lavers, and put five on the 
right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them : such 
things as they offered for the burnt-offering they 
g washed in them ; but the sea was for the h priests to 
wash in. 

7 And he made ten ' candlesticks of gold according 
to their k form, and set them in the temple, five on the 
right hand, and five on the left. 

8 He made also l ten tables, and placed them in the 
temple, five on the right side, and five on the left : and 
he made a hundred basons of gold. 

9 Furthermore, he made m the court of the priests, 
and the n great court, and doors for the court, and 
overlaid the doors of them with ° brass. 

1 And he set the p sea on the right side of the east 
end, over against the south. 

1 1 And q Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and 
the basons. And Huram finished the work that he 
was to make for king Solomon for the house of Cod ; 

12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and 
the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, 
and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the 
chapiters which were on the top of the pillars : 

1 3 And four hundred r pomegranates on the two 
wreaths ; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, 
to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which 
were upon the pillars. 

1 4 He made also s bases ; and lavers made he upon 
the bases; 

1 5 One sea, and twelve oxen under it : 

16 The ' pots also, and the shovels, and the u flesh- 
hooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father 
make to king Solomon, for the house of the Lord, of 
bright brass. 

1 7 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them 
in the t clay-ground between Succoth and Zeredathah 

18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great 
abundance : for the weight of the brass could t not 
be found out. 

19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for 
the house of God, the x golden altar also, and the ta- 
bles whereon the shew-bread was set ; 

20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, 
that they should burn after y the manner, before z the 
oracle, of pure gold ; 

21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs 
made he of gold, and that t perfect gold ; 

22 And the a snuffers, and the basons, and the 
spoons, and the censers, of pure gold : and the b entry 
of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy 
place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were 
of gold.

CHAP. V. 

God being praised, giveth a visible sign of his favour. 

THUS all the work that Solomon made for the 
house of the Lord was finished : and Solomon 
brought in all the t things that David his father had 
dedicated ; and the silver, and the gold, and all the 
instruments, put he among the treasures of the house 
of God. 

2 Then Solomon a assembled the elders of Israel, a i Kings 8, 
and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fa- *' 2 * 
thers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to 

bring up the b ark of the covenant of the Lord out of b Num. io, 
the city of David, which is Zion. 

3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled them- 
selves unto the king, in the feast which was in the 
c seventh month. 

4 And all the elders of Israel came ; and the 
d Levites took up the ark. 

5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle 
of the congregation, and all the t holy vessels that 
were in the tabernacle, these did the e priests and the 
Levites bring up. 

6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Ley. i6,4, 
Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, \ 5 um ' ' 
sacrificed f sheep and oxen, which could not be told 2 Sam. 6, a 
nor numbered for multitude. i 6 ^ en " 12 ' 

7 And the priests brought in the ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord unto his place, to the g oracle of the gi Kings 
house, into the h most holy place, even under the wings h \ j^ngs e, 
of the cherubims : 

8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over 
the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the 
ark and the ' staves thereof above. 

9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ]^ ke l, 
k ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the k i Kings 8, 
oracle ; but they were not seen without. And there 8 - 

it is unto this day. 

10 There was J nothing in the ark save the two n Kings 8, 
tables which Moses put therein at m Horeb, when the mNum . 10f 
Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, 33. 
when they came out of Egypt. £ eut 10 ' *■ 

1 1 And it came to pass, when the priests were 

come out of the n holy place ; (for all the priests that m Kings 8, 
were present were ° sanctified, and did not then p wait oGen.35,2. 
by course ; Ex. 19, 10. 

12 Also the Levites, which were the q singers, all of ] 4 Chr - 15 ' 
them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their P *ichr.24, 
sons and their brethren, being T arrayed in white linen, 2 'j 3 c hr 25j 
having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the 1. 

east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and ^^'Jf; 
twenty priests sounding with trumpets ;) Phil. 2, '15. 

1 3 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and R^ 7, 13. 
singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in 
praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted 

up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and in- 
struments of music, and praised the Lord, saying, For 
he is s good ; for his mercy endureth for ever : that then s Ps. 136, 1 
the house was filled with * a cloud, even the house of f/^" 
the Lord ; . 10, 11° 

1 4 So that the priests could not stand to minister by 
reason of the cloud ; for u the glory of the Lord had 
filled the house of God.

3 And the king turned his face, and d blessed the 
whole congregation of Israel : (and all the congrega- 
tion of Israel e stood :) 

4 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, 
who hath with his hands f fulfilled that which he spake 
with his mouth to my father David, saying, 

5 Since the clay that I brought forth my people out 
of the land of Egypt, [ E chose no city among all the 
tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name 
might be there ; neither chose I any man to be a ruler 
over my people Israel : 

6 But I have chosen h Jerusalem, that my name 
might be there ; and have chosen David to be ' over 
my people Israel. 

7 Now it was k in the heart of David my father to 
build a house for the ' name of the Lord God of 
Israel. 

8 But the Lord said to David my father, Foras- 
much as it was in thy heart to build a house for my 
name, thou didst m well in that it was in thy heart : 

9 Notwithstanding, thou shalt not build the house ; 
but thy son which shall come forth out of thy D loins, 
he shall build the house for my name. 

10 The Lord therefore hath performed his word 
that he hath spoken ; for I am risen up in the room of 
David my father, and am set on ° the throne of Israel, 
as the Lord promised, and have built the house for 
the name of the Lord God of Israel : 

1 1 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the 
p covenant of the Lord, that he made with the chil- 
dren of Israel. 

1 2 IT And he stood before the altar of the Lord, in 
the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and 
spread q forth his hands, 

1 3 (For Solomon had made r a brazen scaffold of 
five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits 
high, and had set it in the midst of the s court ; and 
upon it he l stood, and u kneeled down upon his knees 
before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth 
his hands toward heaven,) 

14 And said, O Lord God of Israel, there is x no 
God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth ; which 
keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants 
that y walk before thee with all their hearts : 

15 Thou which hast kept with thy servant David 
my father that which thou hast promised him ; and 
spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy 
hand, as it is this day. 

16 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep 
with thy servant David my father that which thou hast 
promised him, saying, t There shall not fail thee a man 
in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel ; yet so 
that thy children take heed to z their way to walk in 
a my law, as thou hast walked before me. 

1 7 Now then, O Lord God of Israel, let thy word 
be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant 
David. 

18 (But will God in very deed dwell with men on 
the earth ? Behold, b heaven and the heaven of heavens 
cannot contain thee ; how much less this house whicli 
I have built!) 

19 Have respect, therefore, to the prayer of thy 
servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to 
hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy ser- 
vant prayeth t before thee : 

20 That thine eyes may be open upon this house 
day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said 
that thou wouldest put thy name there ; to hearken 



unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward 
this place. 

21 Hearken, therefore, unto the supplications of 
thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall 
make toward this place : hear thou from thy dwelling- 
place, even from heaven ; and when thou hearest, 
forgive. 

22 If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath 
be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath 
come before thine altar in this house ; 

23 Then c hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge 
thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompens- 
ing his way upon his own head ; and by justifying 
the righteous, by giving him d according to his right- 
eousness. 

24 And if thy people Israel be put to the worse be- 
fore the enemy, e because they have sinned against 
thee, and shall return and confess thy name, and pray 
and make supplication before thee in this house ; 

25 Then hear thou from the heavens, and f forgive 
the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again 
unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their 
fathers. 

26 When the heaven is g shut up, and there is no 
rain, because they have sinned against thee ; yet if 
they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, 
and h turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them ; 

27 Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin 
of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou 
hast ' taught them the good way wherein they should 
walk ; and send rain upon the land, which thou hast 
given unto thy people for an inheritance. 

28 If there be k dearth in the land, if there be pes- 
tilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or 
caterpillars ; if their enemies besiege them t in the 
cities of their land ; whatsoever sore or whatsoever 
sickness there be ; 

29 Then what prayer or what supplication soever 
shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, 
when every one shall know his own sore and his own 
grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house ; 

30 Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place, 
and forgive, and render unto every man according 
unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest ; (for thou 
only ' knowest the hearts of the children of men ;) 

31 That they may m fear thee, to walk in thy ways 
so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto 
our fathers. 

32 Moreover, concerning the stranger, which n is 
not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far coun- 
try for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, 
and thy stretched-out arm ; if they come and pray in 
this house ; 

33 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy 
dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stran- 
ger calleth to thee for ; that all people of the earth may 
know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people 
Israel ; and may know that t this house which 1 have 
built is called by thy name. 

34 If thy people go out to war against their ene- 
mies by the way that thou shalt sond them, and they 
° pray unto thee toward this city winch thou hast 
chosen, and the house which I have built for thy nam<> ; 

35 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer 
and their supplication, and maintain their || cause. 

36 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man 
which Psinncth not,) and thou be angry with them, 
and deliver them over before their enemies, and they

anointed : remember the mercies of David thy servant. 

CHAP. VII. 

God giveth to Solomon promises upon condition. 

NOW when Solomon a had made an end of pray- 
ing, the b fire came down from heaven, and con- 
sumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices ; and the 
c glory of the Lord filled the house. 

2 And the priests could d not enter into the house 
of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled 
the Lord's house. 

3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the 
fire came down, and the glory of the Lord upon the 
house, they e bowed themselves with their faces to the 
ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and 
praised the Lord, saying, For he is good ; for his mercy 
endureth for ever. 

4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices 
before the Lord. 

5 And king Solomon offered f a sacrifice of twenty 
and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty 
thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedi- 
cated the house of God. 

6 And the priests g waited on their offices ; the Le- 
vites also with instruments of music of the Lord, 
which David the king had made to praise the Lord, 
because his mercy endureth for ever, when David 
praised by their ministry ; and the h priests sounded 
trumpets before them, and all Israel i stood. 

7 Moreover, Solomon k hallowed the middle of the 
court that was before the house of the Lord : for there 
he offered burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace- 
offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had 
made was not able to receive the burnt-offerings, and 
the meat-offerings, and the fat. 

8 Also, at the same time, Solomon kept ' the feast 
seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great con- 
gregation, from the entering in of m Hamath unto the 
n river of Egypt. 

9 And in the eighth day they made a t solemn as- 
sembly : for they kept the ° dedication of the altar 
seven days, and the feast seven days. 

1 And on the p three and twentieth day of the 
seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, 



glad and merry in heart, for the goodness that the 
Lord had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and 
to Israel his people. 

1 1 Thus Solomon q finished the house of the Lord, 
and the king's house : and all that came into Solo- 
mon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and 
in his own house, he r prosperously effected. 

1 2 And the Lord 3 appeared to Solomon 4 by night, 
and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have 
u chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. 

13 If I x shut up heaven that there be no rain, or 
if I y command the locusts to devour the land, or if I 
send pestilence among my people ; 

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall 
z humble themselves, and a pray, and b seek my face, 
and c turn from their wicked ways ; then will I hear 
from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal 
their land. 

1 5 Now d mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears 
attent unto the prayer that is made in this place : 

16 For now have I e chosen and sanctified this 
house, that my name may be there for ever : and mine 
eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. 

1 7 And as for thee, if thou wilt f walk before me, 
as David thy father walked, and do according to all 
that I have g commanded thee, and shalt observe my 
statutes and my judgments ; 

18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, 
according as I have covenanted with David thy father, 
saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in 
Israel. 

19 h But if ye ' turn away, and forsake my statutes 
and my commandments, which I have set before you, 
and shall go and serve other gods and worship them ; 

20 Then will I k pluck them up by the roots out of 
my land which I have given them : and this house, 
which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out 
of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a 
by-word among all nations. 

21 And this house, which is high, shall be an asto- 
nishment to every one that passeth by it ; so that he 
shall say, i Why hath the Lord done thus unto this 
land, and unto this house ? 

22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook 
the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them 
forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other 
gods, and worshipped them, and served them : m there- 
fore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

1 Solomon's buildings. IT He fetcheth gold from Ophir. 

AND it came to pass a at the end of twenty years, 
wherein Solomon had built the house of the 
Lord, and his own house, 

2 That the b cities which Huram had restored to 
Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children 
of Israel to dwell there. 

3 And Solomon went to c Hamath-zobah, and pre- 
vailed against it. 

4 And he built d Tadmor in the wilderness, and all 
the e store-cities which he built in f Hamath. 

5 Also he built g Beth-horon the upper, and Beth- 
horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and 
bars ; 

6 And h Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solo- 
mon had, and all the ! chariot-cities, and the cities of 
the horsemen, and t all that Solomon desired to build 
in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the 
land of his dominion.

Solomon's daily and festival sacrifices r 

7 As for all the people that were left of the k Hit- 
tites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the 
Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, 

8 But of their children, who were left after them 
in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed 
not, them did Solomon make to ' pay tribute until this 
day. 

9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make 
no servants for his work ; but they were men of war, 
and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots 
and horsemen. 

1 And these were the chief of king Solomon's offi- 
cers, even m two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over 
the people. 

1 1 And Solomon n brought up the daughter of Pha- 
raoh out of the city of David unto the house that he 
had built for her : for he said, My wife shall not dwell 
in the house of David king of Israel, because the 
places are t holy whereunto the ark of the Lord hath 
come. 

12 IT Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings unto 
the Lord on the altar of the Lord, which he had built 
° before the porch, 

1 3 Even after p a certain rate every day, offering 
according to the commandment of Moses, on the sab- 
baths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn 
feasts, q three times in the year, even in the feast of 
unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in 
the feast of tabernacles. 

14 And he appointed, according to the order of 
r i chr. 24, David his father, the r courses of the priests to their 

service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and 
minister before the priests, as the s duty of every day 
required ; the l porters also by their courses at t every 
gate : for so had David the u man of God commanded. 

15 And they departed not from the commandment 
of the king unto the priests and Levites, concerning 
any matter, or concerning the x treasures. 

16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared 
unto the day of the foundation of the house of the Lord, 
and until it was finished : so the house of the Lord 

y l Kings 9, was y perfected. 

1 7 IT Then went Solomon to z Ezion-geber, and to 
a Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom. 

1 8 And h Huram sent him, by the hands of his ser- 
vants, ships, and servants that had knowledge of the 
sea ; and I hey went with the servants of Solomon to 
Ophir, and took thence c four hundred and fifty talents 
of gold, and brought them to king Solomon. 

CHAP. IX. 

The queen of Sheba admireth the wisdom of Solomon. 
ND when the a queen of Sheba heard of the 
b fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon 
with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great 
company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in 
abundance, and precious stones : and when she was 
come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that 
was in her heart. 

2 And Solomon told her all her questions : and there 
was nothing hid from Solomon which he c told her not. 

3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the d wis-

4 And the meat of his table, and the e sitting of his 
servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and 
their apparel ; his cup-bearers also, and their apparel ; 
and his ascent by which he went up into the house of 
the Lord ; there was no more spirit in her. 

5 And she said to the king, It was a true f report 



CHAP. IX* His riches, and throne of ivory. 

which I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and 
of thy wisdom ; 

6 Howbeit, I believed not their words until 1 came, 
and mine eyes had seen it ; and, behold, the one half 
of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me : for 
thou t exceedest the fame that I heard. 

7 g Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy 
servants, which stand continually before thee, and 
hear thy wisdom. 

8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted 
in thee to set thee on his h throne, to be king for the 
Lord thy God : because thy God loved Israel, to esta- 
blish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over 
them, to do judgment and justice. 

9 And she gave the king ' a hundred and twenty 
talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and 
precious stones : neither was k there any such spice 
as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon. 

10 And the ' servants also of Huram, and the ser- 
vants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, 
brought algum-trees and precious stones. 

1 1 And the king made of the algum-trees m terraces m i Kings 
to the house of the Lord, and to the king's palace, 10 * 12- 
and harps and psalteries for singers : and there were 
none such seen before in the land of Judah. 

12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba 
all her desire, whatsoever she asked, n besides that 
which she had brought unto the king : so she turned, 
and went away to her own land, she and her servants. 

1 3 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon 
in one year was six hundred and threescore and six 
talents of gold ; 

14 Besides that which chapmen and merchants 
brought. And ° all the kings of Arabia and governors ° p ^ 6 ^ 29 
of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 

15 And king Solomon made two hundred targets 
of beaten gold : p six hundred shekels of beaten gold 
went to one target. 

16 And three hundred shields made he of beaten 
gold ; three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield : 
and the king put them in the house of the forest q of q i Kings 7 
Lebanon. 

1 7 Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, 
and overlaid it with r pure gold. r l Kings 

1 8 And there were six steps to the throne, with a 10 ' 18 -

25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses 
and u chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom 
he bestowed in the chariot-cities, and with the king 
at Jerusalem. 

26 And he reigned x over all the kings from the 
7 river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the 
border of Egypt. 

27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, 
and cedar-trees made he as the sycamore-trees that 
are in the low plains in abundance. 

28 And they z brought unto Solomon horses out of 
Egypt, and out of all lands. 

29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and 
last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the 
prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, 
and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam 
the son of Nebat ? 

30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Is- 
rael forty years. 

31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was 
buried in the city of David his father : and t Rehoboam 
his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAP. X. 

The Israelites assemble at Shechem to crown Rehoboam. 

AND Rehoboam went to a Shechem : for to She- 
chem were b all Israel come to make him king. 

2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of 
Nebat, (who was in Egypt, whither he c had fled from 
the presence of Solomon the king,) heard //, that Jero- 
boam d returned out of Egypt. 

3 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and 
all Israel came, and spake to Rehoboam, saying, 

4 Thy father made our yoke e grievous ; now, there- 
fore, ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy 
father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and 
we will serve thee. 

5 And he said unto them, f Come again unto me 
after three days. And the people departed. 

6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old 
men that had stood before Solomon his father while he 
yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me, to return 
answer to this people ? 

7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be 
t kind to this people, and please them, and speak good 
words to them, they will be thy servants for ever. 

8 But he forsook the counsel which the old men 
gave him, and took counsel with the g young men that 
were brought up with him, that stood before him. 

9 And he said unto them, What advice give ye, 
that we may return answer to this people, which have 
spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that 
thy father did put upon us ? 

1 And the young men that were brought up with 
him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer 
the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father 
made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat 
lighter for us ; thus shalt thou say unto them, h My 
little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins. 

1 1 For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon 
you, 1 will put more to your yoke : my father chas- 
tised you with whips, but I will chastise you with 
scorpions. 

1 2 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Reho- 
boam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come 
again to me on the third day. 

13 And the king answered them roughly : and king 
Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men, 

1 4 And answered them after the ' advice of the 



young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, 
but I will add thereto : my father chastised you with 
whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 

15 So the king hearkened not unto the people ; for 
the t cause was of God, that the Lord might perform 
his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the 
Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 

1 6 And when all Israel saw that the king would 
not. hearken unto them, the people answered the king, 
saying, What portion have we in David ? and we have 
none inheritance in the son of Jesse : every man to 
your tents, O Israel : and now, David, see to thine 
own house. So all Israel went to their tents. 

17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in 
the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 

18 Then king Rehoboam sent k Hadoram, that was 
over the ' tribute ; and the children of Israel stoned 
him with stones that he died : but king Rehoboam 
made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to 
Jerusalem. 

19 And Israel °° rebelled against the house of Da- 
vid unto this day. 

CHAP. XI. 

Rehoboam, preparing to subdue Israel, is forbidden by She- 
maiah. 

AND when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he 
gathered of the a house of Judah and Benjamin 
a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which 
were b warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might 
bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam. 

2 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah 
the c man of God, saying, 

3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king 
of Judah, and to all Israel d in Judah and Benjamin, 
saying, 

4 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up nor 
fight against e your brethren : return every man to his 
house ; for this f thing is done of me. And they 
obeyed the words of the Lord, and returned from 
going against Jeroboam. 

5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and g built 
cities for defence in Judah. 

6 He built even h Beth-lehem, and ' Etam, and 
k Tekoa, 

7 And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Adullam, 

8 ' And Gath, and m Mareshah, and n Ziph, 

9 And Adoraim, and "Lachish, and p Azekah, 

10 And q Zorah, and r Ajalon, and s Hebron, which 
are in Judah and in Benjamin, fenced cities. 

1 1 And he fortified the strong holds, and put cap- 
tains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine. 

12 And in every several city he put shields and 
spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Ju- 
dah and Benjamin on his side. 

1 3 And the priests and the Levites that were in all 
Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts. 

14 (For the Levites left their suburbs, and their 
possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem : for 
1 Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from u exe- 
cuting the priest's office unto the Lord : 

1 5 And he ordained him x priests for the high pla- 
ces, and for the devils, and for the calves which he 
had made.) 

1 6 And y after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, 
such as z set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Is- 
rael, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice unto the Lord 
God of their fathers. 

17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and

David and c Solomon. 

1 8 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daugh- 
ter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail 
the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse ; 

1 9 Which bare him children ; Jeush, and Shama- 
riah, and Zaham. 

20 And after her he took d Maachah the daughter 
of Absalom, which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and 
Ziza, and Shelomith. 

21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of 
Absalom above all his wives and his e concubines : 
(for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines ; 
and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore 
daughters.) 

22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maa- 
chah the chief, to be ruler f among his brethren : for he 
thought to make him king. 

23 And he dealt t wisely, and s dispersed of all his 
children throughout all the countries of Judah and 
Benjamin, unto every fenced city ; and he gave them 
victual in abundance. And he desired many wives. 

CHAP. XII. 

Rehoboam, forsaking the Lord, is punished by Shishak. 

AND it came to pass, when Rehoboam had esta- 
blished the kingdom, and had a strengthened 
himself, he b forsook the law of the Lord, and c all 
Israel with him. 

2 And it came to pass, that, in the fifth year of Re- 
c^Kin^s 10 ' h°b° am 5 Shishak king of Egypt came up against Je- 
12, i"° rusalem, d because they had transgressed against the 

Prov.29,12. LoRDj _ 

3 With twelve hundred e chariots, and threescore 
thousand horsemen : and the people were without 
number that came with him out of Egypt ; the f Lu- 
bims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. 

4 And he took the g fenced cities which pertained 
to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 

5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, 
and to the princes of Judah that were gathered to- 
gether to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto 
them, Thus saith the Lord, Ye have h forsaken me, 
and therefore have I also left you in the hand of 
Shishak. 

6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king 
1 humbled themselves ; and they said, k The Lord is 
righteous. 

7 And when the Lord ' saw that they humbled 
themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, 
saying, They have humbled themselves, there/ore I 
will ra not destroy them, but I will grant them some 
deliverance ; and my wrath n shall not be poured out 
upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 

8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that 
they may know ° my service, and the service of the 
kingdoms of the countries. 

9 So p Shishak king of Egypt came up against 
Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house 
of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house ; 
he took all : he carried away also the shields of gold 
which Solomon had q made. 

1 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of 
brass, and committed them to the hands of r the chief 
of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house. 

1 1 And when the king entered into the house of the 
Lord, the guard came and fetched them, and brought 
them again into the guard chamber.

His reign and 

12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the 
Lord turned from him, that he would not destroy him 
altogether : t and also in Judah things went well. 

13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in 
Jerusalem, and reigned : for Rehoboam was one and 
forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 
seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord 
had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his 
s name there. And his mother's name was Naamah, 
an Ammonitess. 

14 And he did evil, because * he prepared not his 
heart to u seek the Lord. 

1 5 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are 
they not written in the book of x Shemaiah the pro- 
phet, and of Iddo y the seer, concerning genealogies ? 
And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jero- 
boam continually. 

16 And Rehoboam z slept with his fathers, and was 
buried in the city of David : and Abijah his son 
reigned in his stead. 

CHAP. XIIL 

Jibijah succeeding, maketh war against Jeroboam. 

NOW in the a eighteenth year of king Jeroboam 
began Abijah to reign over Judah. 

2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem: (his mother's 
name also ivas b Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel of 
c Gibeah :) and there was war between Abijah and 
Jeroboam. 

3 And Abijah t set the battle in array with an 
army of valiant men of war, even d four hundred thou- 
sand chosen men : Jeroboam also set the battle in 
array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen 
men, being mighty men of valour. 

4 And Abijah e stood up upon mount f Zemaraim, 
which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou 
Jeroboam, and all Israel ; 

5 Ought you not to know, that the Lord God of 
Israel ° gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, 
even to him and to his sons by h a covenant of salt ? 

6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of 
Solomon, the son of David, is risen up, and hath 
' rebelled against his lord. 

7 And there are gathered unto him k vain men, the 
children of ' Belial, and have strengthened themselves 
against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Reho- 
boam was m young and n tender-hearted, and could 
not withstand them. 

8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of 
the Lord in the hand of the sons of David ; and ye 
be a great multitude, and there are with you ° golden 
calves, which Jeroboam p made you for gods. 

9 Have ye not n cast out the priests of the Lord, 
the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made 
you priests after the manner of the nations of other 
lands ? so that whosoever cometh to r consecrate him- 
self with a young bullock and s seven rams, the same 
may be a priest of them that are no gods.

1 2 And, behold, God himself is with us for our 
y captain, and his 'priests with sounding trumpets to 
cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye 
not against the Lord God of your fathers ; for you 
shall not prosper. 

1 3 But Jeroboam caused an a ambushment to come 
about behind them : so they were before Judah, and 
the ambushment ivas behind them. 

14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle 
was before and behind : and they b cried unto the 
Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. 

15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout : and as 
the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that c God 
smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and 
Judah. 

16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah ; 
and God d delivered them into their hand. 

17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a 
great slaughter : so there fell down slain of Israel e five 
hundred thousand chosen men. 

1 8 Thus the children of Israel were t brought under 
at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, be- 
cause they f relied upon the Lord God of their fathers. 

19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took 
cities from him ; s Beth-el with the towns thereof, and 
Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with 
the towns thereof. 

20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in 
the days of Abijah : and the Lord h struck hirn, and 
he died. 

21 But Abijah 'waxed mighty, and married four- 
teen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and 
sixteen daughters. 

22 And the rest of the acts of || Abijah, and his 
ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the 
prophet Iddo. 

CHAP. XIV. 

Asa destroyeth idolatry. 

SO Abijah a slept with his fathers, and they buried 
him in the city of David ; and Asa his son reigned 
in his stead. In iiis days the land was quiet b ten 
years. 

2 And Asa did that which was c good and right in 
the eyes of the Lord his God : 

3 For he took away the d altars of the strange gods, 
and the e high places, and brake down the images, and 
cut down the groves ; 

4 And commanded Judah f to seek the Lord God 
of their fathers, and to do the law and the command- 
ment. 

5 Also he took away, out of all the cities of Judah, 
the high places and the images : and the kingdom was 
s quiet before him. 

6 And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the 
land had rest, and he had no war in those years ; 
because b the Lord had given him rest. 

7 Thorefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these 
cities, and make about them walls and towers, gates 
and bars, while the land is yet before us ; because we 
have sought the Lord our God, we have sought him, 
and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built, 
and prospered. 

8 And Asa had an army of men that bare targets 
and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand, and 
out of Benjamin, that bare shields and t drew bows, 
two hundred and fourscore thousand : all these were 
mighty men of valour. 

9 And there came out against them Zerah the 




Ethiopian, with a host of ' a thousand thousand, and 
three hundred chariots, and came unto k Mareshah. 

10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set 
the battle in array in the valley of i Zephathah at 
Mareshah. 

1 1 And Asa m cried unto the Lord his God, and 
said, Lord, it is n nothing with thee to help, whether 
with many, or with them that have no power : help us, 
O Lord our God ; for we rest on thee, and ° in thy name 
we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our 
God ; let not man prevail p against thee. 

12 So the q Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa, 
and before Judah ; and the Ethiopians fled. 

1 3 And Asa, and the people that were with him, 
pursued them unto r Gerar : and the Ethiopians were 
overthrown, that they could not recover themselves ; 
for they were destroyed before the Lord, and before 
his host : and they carried away very much spoil. 

14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar : 
for the s fear of the Lord came upon them : and they 
spoiled all the cities ; for there was exceeding much 
spoil in them. 

1 5 They smote also the * tents of cattle, and car- 
ried away sheep and camels in abundance, and re- 
turned to u Jerusalem. 

CHAP. XV. 

Asa and Judah make a covenant with God. 
ND the a Spirit of God came upon Azariah the 
son of Oded : 

2 And he went out b to meet Asa, and said unto bch.14,13. 
him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin : 
The Lord c is with you while ye be with him : and if 
ye d seek him, he will be e found of you ; but if ye 
forsake f him, he will forsake s you. 

3 Now for h a long season Israel hath been without 
the true God, and without a teaching priest, and 
without law : 

4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the 
Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found 
of them. 

5 And in ' those times there was no peace to him 
that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexa- 
tions were upon k all the inhabitants of the countries. 

6 And ' nation was destroyed of nation, and city of 
city : for God did vex them with all adversity. 

7 Be ye m strong, therefore, and let not your hands 
be weak : n for your work shall be rewarded. 

8 1 And when Asa heard these words, and the pro- 
phecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put 
away t the abominable idols out of all the land of Ju- 
dah and Benjamin, and out of the ° cities which he 
had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the 
p altar of the Lord that was before the q porch of the 
Lord. 

9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and 
the r strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manas- 
seh, and out of Simeon : (for they fell to him out of 
Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord 
his God was with him :) 

10 So they gathered themselves together at Jeru- 
salem in s the third month, in the fifteenth year of the 
reign of Asa. 

1 1 And they offered unto the Lord the same time, 
of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred 
oxen, and seven thousand sheep. 

1 2 And they t entered into a covenant to seek the 
Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with 
all their soul ;

13 That whosoever would not seek the Lord God 
of Israel should be u put to death, whether small or 
great, whether x man or woman. 

1 4 And they y sware unto the Lord with a loud 
voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with 
cornets. 

1 5 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath ; for they had 
sworn z with all their heart, and sought him with their 
whole desire ; and he was found of them : and the 
Lord gave them rest round about. 

16 And also concerning Maachah the mother of 
Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, be- 
cause she had made an idol in a grove : and Asa cut 
down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the 
brook Kidron. 

1 7 But the high places were not taken away out of 
a Israel : nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all 
his days. 

1 8 And he brought into the house of God the things 
that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had 
dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. 

1 9 And there was no more war unto the b five and 
thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. 

CHAP. XVI. 

Asa diverteth Baasha from building of Ramah. 

IN the a six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, 
Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and 
h built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none c go 
out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 

2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the 
treasures of the house of the Lord and of the king's 
house, and d sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that 
dwelt at Damascus, saying, 

3 There is a league between me and thee, as there 
was between my father and thy father : behold, 1 have 
sent thee silver and gold ; go, break thy league with 
Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 

4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and 
sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Is- 
rael ; and they smote e Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-maim, 
and all the f store-cities of Naphtali. 

5 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that 
he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease. 

6 Then Asa the king E took all Judah ; and they 
carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber 
thereof, wherewith Baasha was a building; and he 
built therewith Geba and Mizpah. 

7 And at that time b Hanani the seer came to Asa 
king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou 'hast 
relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the Lord 
thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria 
escaped out of thy hand. 

8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a k huge 
host, with very many chariots and horsemen ? yet, be- 
cause thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them 
into thy hand. 

9 For the l eyes of the Lord run to and fro through- 
out the whole earth, to shew himself m strong in the 
behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him. 
Herein n thou hast done foolishly ; therefore from 
henceforth thou shalt have wars. 

1 Then Asa was ° wroth with the seer, and put 
him in a p prison-house ; for he was in a rage with him 
because of this thing. And Asa '' oppressed some of 
the people the same time. 

1 1 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, 
they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and 
Israel. 



12 And Asa, in the thirty and ninth year of his 
reign, was diseased in his feet, until his disease was 
exceeding great : yet in his disease he r sought not to 
the Lord, but to the physicians. 

1 3 And || Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the 
one and fortieth year of his reign. 

1 4 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which 
he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid 
him in the bed which was filled with s sweet odours 
and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothe- 
caries' art ; and they made * a very great burning for 
him. 

CHAP. XVII. 

Jehoshaphat succeeding Asa, reigneth and prospereih. 

AND || Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, 
and strengthened himself against Israel. 

2 And he placed forces in all the fenced a cities of 
Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and 
in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had 
taken. 

3 And the Lord was b with Tehoshaphat, because 
he walked in the c first ways of his father David, and 
sought not unto Baalim ; 

4 But sought to the LORD God of his father, and 
walked in his commandments, and d not after the 
doings of Israel : 

5 Therefore e the Lord stablished the kingdom in 
his hand ; and all Judah brought f to Jehoshaphat pre- 
sents ; and he had riches and honour in abundance. 

6 And 6 his heart was lifted up in the ways of the 
Lord : moreover, he took away the h high places and 
groves out of Judah. 

7 Also, in the third year of his reign, he sent to his 
1 princes, even to Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to 
Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, k to 
teach in the cities of Judah. 

8 And with them he sent ' Levites, even Shemaiah, 
and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and She- 
miramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and To- 
bijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites ; and with them 
Elishama and Jehoram, m priests. 

9 And they taught in Judah, and had n the book 
of the law of the Lord with them, and went about 
throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the 
people. 

10 And the ° fear of the Lord fell upon all the king- 
doms of the lands that were round about Judah, so 
that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. 

1 1 Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat 
presents, and tribute-silver : and the Arabians brought 
him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, 
and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats. 

1 2 And Jehoshaphat t waxed great exceedingly ; 
and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store. 

13 And he had p much business in the cities of Ju- 
dah : and the q men of war, mighty men of valour, 
were in Jerusalem. 

14 And these are the 'numbers of them, according 
to the house of their fathers : Of Judah, the captains 
of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty 
men of valour three hundred thousand. 

15 And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, 
and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand. 

16 And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichn, 
who 8 willingly offered himself unto the Lord; and 
with him two hundred thousand mighty men ol 
valour.

CHAP. XVIII. 

Jehoshaphat goeth with Ahab against Ramoth-gilead. 
~OW Jehoshaphat had a riches and honour in 
abundance, and b joined affinity with Ahab. 

2 And after certain years he went down to Ahab to 
Samaria : and Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in 
abundance, and for the people that he had with him, 
and persuaded him to go up with him to c Ramoth- 
gilead. 

3 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat 
king of Judah, d Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth- 
gilead ? And he answered him, e I am as thou art, and 
my people as thy people ; and we will be with thee in 
the war. 

4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, 
r Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to-day. 

5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of 
prophets s four hundred men, and said unto them, 
Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I for- 
bear ? And they said, Go up ; b for God will deliver it 
into the king's hand. 

6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet 
of the Lord besides, that we might inquire of him ? 

7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, 
There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the 
Lord : but I hate him ; for he never prophesied good 
unto me, but t always evil : the same is Micaiah the 
son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king 
say so. 

8 And the king of Israel called for one of his offi- 
cers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of 
Imla. 

9 And the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of 
Judah, sat either of them on his throne, clothed in 
their ; robes, and they sat in a void place at the enter- 
ing in of the gate of Samaria ; and all the prophets 
prophesied t before them. 

10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made 
him ' horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the Lord, 
With these thou shalt push Syria until they be con- 
sumed. 

1 1 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, k Go 
up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper ; for the Lord shall 
deliver it into the hand of the king. 

1 2 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah 
spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the pro- 
phets declare good to the king with t one assent : let 
thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, 
and speak thou good. 

13 And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, even 
what my God saith, ' that will I speak. 

14 And when he was come to the king, the king 
said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead 
to battle, or shall I forbear ? And he said, m Go ye up, 
and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your 
hand* 

1 5 And the king said to him, How many times shall 
I adjure thee, that thou say nothing but the truth to 
me in the name of the Lord ? 

16 Then he said, I did "see all Israel scattered

Micaiah' 's prophecy, 

and the Lord said, These have no master ; let them 
return, therefore, every man to his house in peace. 

1 7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did 
I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto 
me, but evil ? 

1 8 Again he said, Therefore, hear the word of the 
Lord ; I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all 

the ° host of heaven standing on his right hand, and ° P s - n>3> 
on his left. 20,^. & 

1 9 And the Lord said, Who shall entice Ahab Ban. 7, ia 
king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth- 
gilead ? And one spake, saying after this manner, and 
another saying after that manner. 

20 Then there came out p a spirit, and stood before p 2 Cor. 12, 
the Lord, and said, I will entice him. And the Lord 
said unto him, Wherewith ? 

21 And he said, I will go out, and be t a lying spirit 
in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD a /ilZoi 
said, Thou shalt entice him, and q thou shalt also or, of ties', 
prevail : go out, and do even so. z™h* th* 2 

22 Now therefore, behold, r the Lord hath put a John's, 44 
lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the 9 Ps- 109 ' 
Lord hath spoken evil against thee. 

23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came 
near, and smote Micaiah s upon the cheek, and said, 
Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to 
speak unto thee ? 

24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt * see on 
that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to 
hide thyself. 

25 Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, 
and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, 
and to Joash the king's son ; 

26 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow 
in the u prison, and feed him with x bread of afflic- 
tion and with water of affliction, until I return in 
peace. 

27 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in Isa- 30 ' ^ 
peace, then hath not the Lord y spoken by me. And y.Num. 16, 
he said, Hearken, all ye people. 

28 So the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat the king 
of J udah, went up to Ramoth-gilead. 

29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I 
will z disguise myself, and will go to the battle ; but a Job 5, 12, 
put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised 
himself, and they went to the battle. 

30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the cap- 
tains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight 
ye not with small or great, save only with the king of 
Israel. 

31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the 
chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king 
of Israel : therefore they a compassed about him to 
fight : but b Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord 
helped him; and God moved them to depart from 
him. m j 

32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains of 13. 
the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, 
they turned back again from pursuing him. 

33 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, 

and smote the king of Israel t between the joints of t Heb. be- 
the harness : therefore he said to his chariot-man, ^Malnd 
Turn thy hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the coat of 
the host ; for I am wounded. maiL 

34 And the battle increased that day : howbeit the 

king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against c 1 Sam. 2

Jehoshaphat, reproved by Jehu, visiteth his kingdom. 

AND Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to 
his house a in peace to Jerusalem. 

2 And b Jehu, the son of Hanani the seer, went 
out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Should- 
est thou help the c ungodly, and d love them that e hate 
the Lord ? therefore f is wrath upon thee from before 
the Lord. 

3 Nevertheless, there are g good things found in 
thee, in that thou hast taken away the h groves out of 
the land, and hast ' prepared thy heart to seek God. 

4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem : and he 
k went out again through the people, from ' Beer-sheba 
to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the 
Lord God of their fathers. 

5 And he set judges in the land, throughout all the 
fenced cities of Judah, city by city, 

6 And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do : 
for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is 
m with you in the judgment. 

7 Wherefore now, let the 
upon you ; take heed and do it 
with the Lord our God, nor 
taking of gifts. 

8 Moreover, in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of 
the p Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of 
the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the Lord, 
and for controversies, when they returned to Jeru- 
salem. 

9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do 
in the q fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a per- 
fect heart. 

10 And what cause soever shall come to you of 
your brethren that dwell in their cities, between r blood 
and blood, between 9 law and commandment, statutes 
and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they 
trespass not against the Lord, and so * wrath come 
u upon you, and upon your brethren : this do, and ye 
shall not trespass. 

1 1 And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you 
in all matters of the Lord ; and Zebadiah the son of 
Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the 
king's x matters : also the Levites shall be y officers 
before you. Deal courageously, and the Lord shall 
be with the good.

IT came to pass after this also, that the children of 
" Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them 
Psai. 83, 6, ^ er besides the Ammonites, came b against Jehosha- 
isaiah 7, i. phat to battle. 

2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, 
saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee 
from beyond the c sea, on this side Syria : and, behold, 
they be in d Hazazon-tamar, which is e En-gcdi. 

3 And Jehoshaphat f feared, and set himself g to 
seek the Lord, and proclaimed h a fast throughout all 
Judah. 

4 And Jndah gathered themselves together to ask 
iEsth.4, 16. help of the Lord ; even out of ' all the cities of Judah 

they came to seek the Lord.

not power and might, so that 
stand thee ? 

7 Art not thou ° our God, who didst p drive out the 
inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and 
gayest it to the seed of Abraham q thy friend for ever ? 

8 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee r a 
sanctuary therein for thy s name, saying, 

9 If, when * evil cometh upon us, as the sword, 
judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before 
this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in 
this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then 
thou wilt hear and help. 

10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon, and 
Moab, and mount Seir, whom thou u wouldest not let 
Israel invade, when they came out of the land of 
Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed 
them not ; 

1 1 Behold, / say, how they x reward us, to come 
to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given 
us to inherit. 

12 O our God, wilt thou y not judge them? for we 
have z no might against this great company that cometh 
against us ; neither know we what to do : but a our 
eyes are upon thee. 

13 And all Judah stood b before the Lord, with their 
c little ones, their wives, and their children. 

14 d Then upon Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, the 
son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah 
a Levite, of the sons of Asaph, came the 
the Lord in the midst of the congregation ; 

15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye in- 
habitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat ; 
Thus saith the Lord unto you, f Be not afraid nor dis- 
mayed by reason of this great multitude ; for the batr 
tie is g not yours, but God's. 

16 To-morrow go ye down against them : behold, 
they come up by the cliff of Ziz ; and ye shall find 
them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness 
of Jeruel. 

17 Ye shall h not need to fight in this battle; set 
yourselves, ' stand ye still, and see the salvation of the 
Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem : fear not, 
nor be dismayed ; to-morrow go out against them ; for 
the Lord will be k with you. 

18 And Jehoshaphat ' bowed his head, with his 
face to the ground : and all Judah and the inhabitants • Ex - 4, 31. 
of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the 

Lord. 

1 9 And the Levites of the children of the m Kohath- 
ites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up 
to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on 
high. 

20 IT And they rose early in the morning, and went 
forth into the wilderness of D Tekoa : and as they 
went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O 
Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; ° Believe in oisa.7, 9 
the Lord your God," so shall you be p established ; pisa.28.i 
believe his prophets, so shall ye q prosper. 

21 And when he r had consulted with the people, 
he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should 
praise the 3 beauty of holiness as they went out before 
the army, and to say, l Praise the Lord ; for his mercy 
endureth for ever. 

22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the 
Lord set " ambushments against the children of Am- 
mon, Moab, and mount Srir, which were come against 
Judah ; and they were smitten.

Jehoshaphat s yeign. 

up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to 
slay and destroy them ; and when they had made an 
end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to 
destroy another. 

24 And when Judah came toward the watch-tower 
in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, 

v Ex. 14, 30. behold, they were y dead bodies fallen to the earth, 
and t none escaped. 

25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to 
take away the spoil of them, they found among them 
in abundance, both riches with the dead bodies, and 
t precious jewels, (which they stripped off for them- 
selves,) more than they could carry away : and they 
were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so 
much. 

26 And on the fourth day, they assembled them- 
selves in the valley of || Berachah ; for there they blessed 
the Lord : therefore the name of the same place was 
called, The z valley of Berachah, unto this day. 

27 Then they returned every man of Judah and Je- 
rusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the t fore-front of them, 
to go again to Jerusalem with joy : for the Lord had 
made them a to rejoice over their enemies. 

28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and 
harps and trumpets, unto the house of the Lord. 

29 And the 6 fear of God was on all the kingdoms 
of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord 
fought against the enemies of Israel. 

30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his 
c God gave him rest round about. 

31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was 
thirty and five years old when he began to reign ; and 
he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem : and 
his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 

32 And he walked in the d way of Asa his father, 
ait if 1 !' an( l departed not from it, doing that which was right 

in the sight of the Lord. 

33 Howbeit the e high places were not taken away ; 
for as yet the people had not f prepared their hearts 
unto the God of their fathers. 

34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first 
and last, behold they are written in the book of s Jehu, 
the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of 
the kings of Israel. 

35 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah 
h join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did 

S ap 4B i9,2. very wickedly. ; 

36 And he joined himself with him to make ships 
' to go to Tarshish : and they made the ships in 
k Ezion-gaber. 

37 Then Eliezer, the son of Dodavah of Mareshah, 
prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou 
hast 'joined thyself with Ahaziah, the Lord hath 
ra broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that 
they were not able to go to Tarshish.

Jehoram 's evil reign. 

4 Now when Jehoram was c risen up to the kingdom 
of his father, he strengthened himself, and d slew all his 
brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes 
of Israel. 

5 Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he be- 
gan to reign, and he reigned e eight years in Jerusalem. 

6 And he walked in the way of the f kings of Is- 
rael, like as did s the house of Ahab ; for he had the 16* a 
h daughter of Ahab to wife : and he wrought that which fg 1 ^"S 9 
was evil in the eyes of the Lord. h ch. 22, a 

7 Howbeit the Lord would not destroy the ' house n Kings 14, 
of David, because of the k covenant that he had made ™j Sa 
with David, and as he promised to give a t light to him 13. am " 
and to his sons for ever. t Heb, 

8 In his days the Edomites revolted from under the ikS,' 
t dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king. 36 - 

9 Then Jehoram ' went forth with his princes, and tand^ 
all his chariots with him : and he rose up by night, and 1 2 Kings a 
smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the 21 " 
captains of the chariots. 

1 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand 
of Judah unto this day. The same time also did m Lib- 
nah revolt from under n his hand ; because he had 
forsaken the Lord God of his fathers. 

1 1 Moreover, he made ° high places in the moun- 
tains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jeru- 
salem to commit p fornication, and q compelled Judah pLev.i?,?. 
thereto. 2 Kings' 9, 

12 And there came f a writing to him from Elijah 22. 

the prophet, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Da- ^Rev^is, 
vid thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the 16. 
8 ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of j ] 2Kl °s s3 * 
Asa king of Judah, isaiah45, 1. 

13 But hast walked in the way of the kings of Is- |^ Ki »s s15 * 
rael, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Je- 
rusalem to go 'a whoring, like to the whoredoms of f Exod - **» 
the house of u Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren D eu t.3i,i& 
of thy father's house, which were better than thyself; Pa- J3, 27. 

1 4 Behold, with a great plague will the Lord smite 
thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all 
thy goods : 

1 5 And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of 
thy x bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the 
sickness day by day. 

1 6 IT Moreover, y the Lord stirred up against Je- 
horam the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, 
that were t near the Ethiopians. 

1 7 And they came up into Judah, and z brake into ^Slto 
it, and carried away all the substance that was found job 1, 14. ' 
in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives ; 
so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, 
the youngest of his sons. 

1 8 IT And after all this the Lord smote him in his 
a bowels with an incurable disease. 

19 And it came to pass, that, in process of time, after 
the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of 
his sickness ; so he died of sore diseases : and his peo- 
ple made no b burning for him, like the burning of his bch. 16,14. 
fathers. 

20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began c Josh. 23, 
to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and ] Kings2, 2. 
c departed t without being desired ; howbeit they buried f Heb. whh-

of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had 
slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram 
king of Judah, reigned. 

2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he 
began to reign ; and he reigned c one year in Jeru- 
salem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the 
d daughter of Omri. 

3 e He also walked in the ways of the house of 
Ahab : for f his mother was his s counsellor to do 
wickedly. 

4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord, 
like the house of Ahab ; for they were his counsellors, 
alter the death of his father, to his h destruction. 

5 He walked also after their ' counsel, and went 
with Jehoram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, to 
war against Hazael king of Syria at k Ramoth-gilead : 
and the Syrians smote Joram. 

6 And he returned to be healed in ' Jezreel, because 
of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when 
he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah, 
the son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see 
Jehoram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, because he 
was sick. 

7 And the t destruction of Ahaziah m was of God, 
by coming to Joram ; for when he was come, he went 
out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, 
whom the Lord had n anointed to cut off the house 
of Ahab. 

8 And it came to pass, that when Jehu was ° exe- 
cuting judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found 
the princes of Judah, and the sons of the p brethren of 
Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, q he slew them. 

9 And r he sought Ahaziah : and they caught him, 
(for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu : 
and when they had slain him, they buried him : Be- 
cause, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who 
' sought the Lord with all his heart. So the house of 
Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom. 

1 But when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, l saw 
that her son was dead, she arose, and destroyed all 
tJie seed-royal of the house of Judah. 

1 1 But u Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, 
took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from 
among the king's sons that were slain, and put him 
and his nurse in a t bed-chamber. So Jehoshabeath, 
the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of x Jehoiada 
the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him 
from Athaliah, so that she slew him not. 

1 2 And he was with them y hid in the house of God 
six years : and Athaliah reigned over the land. 

CHAP. XXIII. 

Jehoiada restoreth the worship of God. 

AND in the a seventh year Jehoiada strengthened 
himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Aza- 
riah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Je- 
hohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah 
the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, 
b into covenant with him. 

2 And they went about in Judah, and c gathered 
the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief 
of the fathers d of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem. 

3 And all the congregation made e a covenant with 
the king in the house of God. And he f said unto 
them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the Lord 
hath said of the sons of David. 

4 This is the thing that ye shall do ; A third part of 
you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the 
Levites, shall be porters of the t doors ; 



5 And a third part shall be at the king's house ; and 
a third part at the g gate of the foundation : and all 
the people shall be in the courts of the house of the 
Lord. 

6 But let none come into h the house of the Lord, 
save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites ; 
they shall go in, for they t are holy : but all the peo- 
ple shall keep the w-atch of the Lord. 

7 And the ' Levites shall compass the king round 
about, every man with his weapons in his hand ; and 
whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put 
to death ; but be you with the king when he cometh 
in, and when he goeth out. 

8 So the Levites, and all Judah, did according to all 
things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and 
k took every man his men that were to come in on the 
sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath : 
for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the || courses. 

9 Moreover, Jehoiada the priest delivered to the 
captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, 
that had been 'king David's, which were in the house 
of God. 

10 And he set all the people, (every man having Ms 
weapon in his hand,) from the right side of the temple 
to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and 
the temple, by the king round about. 

1 1 Then they m brought out the king's son, and put 
upon him n the crown, and gave him the ° testimony, 
and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons 
anointed him, and said, t God save the king. 

12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the peo- 
ple running and praising the king, she came to the 
people into the house of the Lord. 

13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at 
his p pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the 
trumpets by the king : and all the people of the land 
rejoiced, and q sounded with trumpets ; also the singers 
With instruments of music, and such as taught to sing 
praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, 
r Treason, treason ! 

14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the cap- 
tains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said 
unto them, Have her forth of the ranges : and whoso 
s followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For 
the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the Lord. 

1 5 So they laid hands on her : and when she w< as 
come to the entering of the horse-gate, by the king's 
house, they l slew her there. 

1 6 T And Jehoiada made a covenant between u him, 
and between all the people, and between the king, 
x that they should be the Lord's people. 

1 7 Then all the people went to the y house of Baal, 
and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images 
in pieces, and slew z Mattan the priest of Baal before 
the altars. 

1 8 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house 
of the Lord by the hand of the priests the Levites, 
whom David had a distributed in the house of the 
Lord, to offer the burnt-offerings of the Lord, as it is 
written in the b law of Moses, with rejoicing and with 
singing, as it was ordained bv c David. 

1 9 And he set the d porters at the gates of the house 
of the Lord, that none which was unclean in any 
thing should enter in. 

20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the 
nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the 
people of the land, and brought down the king from 
the house of the Lord : and they came through the

Joash 1 s good reign : 

e high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon 
the throne of the kingdom. 

21 And all the people of the land f rejoiced : and 
the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah 
with the sword. 

CHAP. XXIV. 

Joash reigneth well all the days of Jehoiada. 
OASH was a seven years old when he began to 
reign ; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. 
His mother's name also icas Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 

2 And || Joash did that which was b right in the sight 
of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest. 

3 And Jehoiada c took for him d two wives ; and he 
begat sons and daughters, 

4 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was 
e minded to repair the house of the Lord. 

5 And he gathered together the priests and the Le- 
vites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of 
Judah, and gather of f all Israel money to repair the 
house of your God from year to year, and see that ye 
hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened 
it not. 

6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and 
said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Le- 
vites to bring in, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, 

gEx. so, 12. the g collection, according to the commandment of Moses 
&-38,24,25. th e servan t of the Lord, and of the congregation of 
h Num. r, Israel, for the h tabernacle of witness ? 

7 For the sons of Athaliah, ! that wicked woman, 
had broken up the house of God ; and also all the 
k dedicated things of the house of the Lord did they 
bestow upon ] Baalim. 

8 And at the king's commandment they made a 
rmest, and set it without at the gate of the house of 
the Lord. 

9 And they made t a proclamation through Judah 
and Jerusalem, to bring in to the Lord the collection 
that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the 
wilderness. 

10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, 
and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had 
made an end. 

1 1 Now it came to pass, that m at what time the 
chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand 
of the Levites, and when they saw that there was 
much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's 
officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and 
carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by 
day, and gathered money in abundance. 

12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did 
the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and 
hired n masons and carpenters to repair. the house of 
the Lord, and also such as wrought iron and brass to 
mend the bouse of the Lord. 

1 3 So the workmen wrought, and t the work was 
perfected by them, and they set the house of God in 
his state, and strengthened it. 

14 And when they had finished it, they brought the 
rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, where- 
of were made ° vessels for the house of the Lord, even 
vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and 
vessels of gold and silver : and they offered burnt- 
offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the 
days of Jehoiada. 

15 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was p full of days 
when he died ; a hundred and thirty years old was he 
when he died. 

16 And they buried him in the q city of David

He is slain by his servants* 
T among the kings, because he had 8 done good in l Is- 
rael, both towards God, and u towards his house. 

17 Now x after the death of Jehoiada came the 
princes of Judah and made obeisance to the king : 
then the king hearkened unto them. 

18 And they * left the house of the Lord God of l^'^l 
their fathers, and served groves and idols : and z wrath uch'. 23,'is. 
came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass. \f* 2 jf 2 *- 

19 Yet he a sent prophets to them, to bring them y2Tim. i 
again unto the Lord ; and they b testified against them : 10 ; , 
but they would c not give ear. cha U p g i9,'£ 

20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the & 28 - 13 ' . 
son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the peo- bNeh 3 9,2& 
pie, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why trans- cZech.V, 
gress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye "ckfb, 12. 
11 cannot prosper ? Because ye have forsaken the Lord, & is, 2.'& 
he hath also forsaken you. e 2 Num 

21 And they conspired against him, and e stoned 36. 
him with stones, f at the commandment of the king, ff£ \ [* 
in the court of the house of the Lord. 

22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kind- 
ness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but 
slew his son : and when he died, he said, The Lord 

look upon it, g and require it. g Gen. 9, 4. 

23 And it came to pass, at the end of the year, that 
the host of Syria came up against him : and they came 
to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes 
of the people from among the people, and sent all the 
spoil of them unto the king of Damascus. 

24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small 
company of men, and the Lord delivered a very great 

host into their hand, h because they had forsaken the J , f^.!?» 12, 
Lord God of their fathers: so they ' executed judg- 38. ms * 8 ' 
ment against Joash. verse 25. 

25 And when they were departed from him (for 22* 34^" 
they left him in great diseases,) k his own servants ?.Kings 2, 
conspired against him, for the blood of ' the sons of 
Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he 
died : and they buried him in the city of David, but lf s ^% 
they buried him m not in the sepulchres of the kings, mch. 21,20

CHAP. XXV. 

1 Amaziah' 's reign : 17 He provoketh Joash to his overthrow. 

AMAZIAH was a twenty and five years old when a 2 Kings 
he began to reign ; and he reigned twenty and 14 ' *' 
nine years in Jerusalem : and his mother's name was 
Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 

2 And he did that which was right in the sight of 

the Lord, but b not with a perfect heart. bi Kings 

3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was ^iin^s 14 
established to him, that he c slew his servants that had 3, 4. & 15, 
d killed the king his father : J£ 27 l3 

4 But he slew not their children, but did as it is Hos. 16, 2 
written in the law in the book of Moses, where the ^^^j 
Lord commanded, saying, e The fathers shall not die dch'. 24,25 
for the children, neither shall the children die for the eDeot - 24 » 
fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. 

5 Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together, 
and made them captains r over thousands, and cap- 
tains over hundreds, according to the g houses of their 
fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he

numbered them from h twenty years old and above, 
and found them three hundred thousand choice men, 
able to go forth to war, that could ' handle spear and 
shield. 

6 He hired also a k hundred thousand mighty men 
of valour out of Israel for l a hundred talents of silver. 

7 But there came m a man of God to him, saying, 
O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee 5 n for 
the Lord is not with Israel, to wit, with all the chil- 
dren of ° Ephraim. 

8 But if thou wilt go, p do it, be strong for the bat- 
tle : God shall make thee fall before the enemy : for 
God hath q power to help, and to cast down. 

9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what 
shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given 
to the army of Israel ? And the man of God answered, 
The Lord t is able to give thee much more than this. 

1 Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army 
that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home 
again : wherefore their s anger was greatly kindled 
against Judah, and they returned home in great anger. 

1 1 And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led 
forth his people, and went to the * valley of Salt, and 
smote of the children of Seir ten thousand. 

12 And other ten thousand left alive did the chil- 
dren of Judah carry away captive, and brought them 
unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the 
top of the rock, that they all were u broken in pieces. 

13 But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah 
sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, 
fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto 
x Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and 
took much spoil. 

14 IF Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was 
come from the slaughter of the Edornites, that he 
brought the y gods of the children of Seir, and set 
them up to be z his gods, and bowed down himself 
before them, and burned incense unto them. 

15 Wherefore the anger of the Lord was kindled 
against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, 
which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the 
gods of the a people which could not deliver b then- 
own people out of thy hand 1 

16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that 
the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's 
counsel ? c forbear ; why shouldest thou be smitten ? 
Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God 
hath determined d to destroy thee, because thou hast 
done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel. 

17 IF Then Amaziah king of Judah e took advice, 
and || sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of 
Jehu king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one 
another in the face. 

18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king 
of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon 
sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give 
thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by 
a t wild beast that ivas in Lebanon, and trode down 
the thistle. 

1 9 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edorn- 
ites, and r thy heart lifteth thee up to boast : abide 
now at home, why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, 
that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with 
thee? 

20 But Amaziah would not hear ; for g it came of 
God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their 
enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom. 

21 So Joash the king of Israel went up, and they

23 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah U^ 
king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, 

at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and 

brake down the wall of Jerusalem, from the ' gate of i 2 Kings

13 And under their hand was an army, three hun- 
dred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, 
that made war with mighty power, to help the king 
against the enemy. 

1 4 And Uzziah prepared for them, throughout all 
the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and haber- 

20, geons, and bows, and " slings to cast stones. 

15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented 
by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the 
bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal : 

ePs. is, 30. and his name spread far abroad ; for he was ° marvel- 
lously helped till he was strong. 

16 But when he was p strong, q his heart was lifted 
up to his destruction : for he transgressed against the 
Lord his God, and went into the r temple of the Lord 
to 8 burn incense upon the altar of incense. 

1 7 And Azariah the * priest went in after him, and 
with him fourscore priests of the Lord, that were 
valiant men : 

1 8 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said 
unto him, It u pertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to 

u Num. 18, DUrn incense unto the Lord, but to the x priests the 
sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to bum incense : 
go out of the sanctuary ; for thou hast trespassed : nei- 
ther shall it be for thine y honour z from the Lord Cod. 

1 9 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in 
his hand to burn incense ; and a while he was wroth 
with the priests, the b leprosy even rose up in his fore- 
head before the priests in the house of the Lord, from 
beside the incense-altar. 

20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, 
looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his 
forehead, and they thrust him out from thence ; yea, 
himself c hasted also to go out, because the Lord had 
smitten him. 

21 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day 
of his death, and dwelt in d a several house, being a 
leper ; for he was e cut off from the house of the 
Lord ; and Jotham his son was over the king's house, 
f judging the people of the land. 

22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and 
last, did g Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, write. 

23 So Uzziah h slept with his fathers, and they 
buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial 
which belonged to the kings ; for they said, He is a 
leper : and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

4 Moreover, he built cities in the mountains of Ju- 
dah : and in the forests he built h castles and towers. 

5 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, 
and prevailed against them. And the children of 
Ammon gave him the same year * a hundred talents of 
silver, and ten thousand t measures of wheat, and ten 
thousand of barley. So much did the children of Am- 
mon pay unto him, both the second year and the third. 

6 So Jotham became mighty, because he k prepared 
his ' ways before the Lord his God. 



7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his 
wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book 
of the Kings of Israel and Judah. 

8 He was five and twenty years old when he began 
to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 

9 And || Jotham slept with his fathers, and they 
buried him in the city of David : and Ahaz his son 
reigned in his stead. 

CHAP. XXVIII. 

Ahaz is afflicted by the Syrians. 

AHAZ was a twenty years old when he began to 
reign ; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusa- 
lem : but he did not that which was right in the sight of 
the Lord, b like David his father : 

2 For he walked in the c ways of the kings of Israel, 
and made also molten images for d Baalim. 

3 Moreover, he burnt incense in the e valley of the 
son of Hinnom, and f burnt his children in the fire, 
after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord 
had cast out before the children of Israel. 

4 He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the g high 
places, and on the hills, and under h every green tree. 

5 Wherefore the Lord ' his God delivered him into 
the hand of the k king of Syria ; and they smote him, 
and carried away a great multitude of them captives, 
and brought them to Damascus ; and he was also de- 
livered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote 
him with a great slaughter. 

6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a 
hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were 
all valiant men ; ' because they had forsaken the 
Lord God of their fathers. 

7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew 
Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of 
the house, and Elkanah that was t next to the king. 

8 And the children of Israel carried away captive 
of their m brethren two hundred thousand, women, 
sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil 
from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. 

9 But n a prophet of the Lord was there, whose 
name was Oded ; and he went cut before the host that 
came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, be- 
cause the Lord God of your fathers ° was wroth with 
Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye 
have slain them in a rage that p reacheth up unto 
heaven. 

10 And now ye purpose to keep under the children 
of Judah and Jerusalem for q bondmen and bond- 
women unto you : but are there not with you, even 
with you, r sins against the Lord your God ? 

1 1 Now hear me, therefore, and s deliver the cap- 
tives again, which ye have taken captive of your 
brethren : for * the fierce wrath of God is upon you. 

1 2 Then certain of the u heads of the children of 
Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the 
son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shal- 
lum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against 
them that came from the war, 

13 And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the 
captives hither : for whereas we have offended against 
the Lord already, ye intend to add more to our sins 
and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and 
there is x fierce wrath against Israel. 

14 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil 
before the princes and all the congregation. 

15 And the men which were expressed by name 
y rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil 
clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed

them, and shod them, and gave them * to eat and to 
drink, and a anointed them, and carried all the feeble 
of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho the 
city of palm-trees, to their brethren : then they returned 
to Samaria. 

16 TT At that time did king Ahaz send unto the 
b kings of Assyria to help him. 

1 7 For c again the Edomites had come and smitten 
Judah, and carried away captives. 

1 8 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the 
low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken 
d Eeth-shemesh, and e Ajalon, and r Gederoth, and 
g Shocho with the villages thereof, and h Timnah with 
the villages thereof; Gimzo also and the villages 
thereof: and they dwelt there.. 

19 For the Lord brought Judah low, because of 
Ahaz king of ' Israel : for he made Judah k naked, 
and transgressed sore against the Lord. 

20 And ' Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came un- 
to him, and m distressed him, but strengthened him not. 

21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house 
of the Lord, and out of the house of the king, and of 
the princes, n and gave it unto the king of Assyria : 
but he helped him not. 

22 And in the time of his distress did he trespass 
yet more against the Lord : p this is thai king Ahaz. 

23 For he q sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, 
which smote him : and he said, Because the gods of 
the kings of Syria r help them, therefore will I sacrifice 
to them, that they 8 may help me. But they were the 
ruin of him, and of all Israel. 

24 And Ahaz * gathered together the vessels of the 
house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the 
house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of 
the Lord, and he made him altars in every corner of 
Jerusalem. 

25 And in every several city of Judah he made high 
places to burn incense unto u other gods, and provoked 
to anger the Lord God of his fathers. 

26 Now the rest of his acts, and of all his ways, 
first and last, behold, they are written in the book of 
the Kings of Judah and Israel. 

27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried 
him in the city, even in Jerusalem ; but they brought 
him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel : and 
Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAP. XXIX. 

1 Hezekiah' 1 s good reign: 3 He restoreth religion. 

HEZEKIAH "began to reign when he was five 
and twenty years old ; and lie reigned nine and 
twenty years in Jerusalem ; and his mother's name 
was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah. 

2 And he did that which was right in the sight of (he 
Lord, according to all that David his father had done. 

3 He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, 
b opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and 
repaired them. 

4 And he brought in the priests and the c Levites, 
and gathered ihem together into the east street, 

5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites ; '' Sanc- 
tify nowyourselves. and sanctify the house of the Lord 
God of your fathers, and carry forth the t filthiness 
out of the holy plate. 

6 For four fathers have trespassed, and done that 
which was evil in the eyes of the Lord our God, and 
have forsaken him, and have f turned away their faces 
from the habitation of the Lord, and turned their 
backs.

7 Also they have E shut up the doors of the porch, , Befjfe 
and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, nor CF 726 ST 
offered burnt-offerings in the h holy place, unto the God >-»-v-w 
of Israel. lt?%*t 

8 Wherefore the ' wrath of the Lord was upon Ju- 1 Kings's.

with your eyes. t ^eb.

12 TT Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of 10. 
Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of n 4 Num - 8 « 
the Kohathites : and of the sons of Merari ; Kish the 

son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel : and 
of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and 
Eden the son of Joah : 

1 3 And of the sons of ° Elizaphan ; Shimri, and g Num - 3 « 
Jeiel : and of the sons of p Asaph ; Zechariah, and p i chr. 23, 
Mattaniah : . ». '*■ 

14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shi- 
mei : and of the sons of Jeduthun ; Shemaiah, and 
Uzziel. 

15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified 
themselves, and came, according to the command- 
ment of the king, by the words of the Lord, to cleanse 
the house of the Lord. 

16 And the priests went into the q inner part of the q 1 Kings s, 
house of the Lord to cleanse it, and brought out all 

the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the 
Lord into the court of the house of the Lord. And 
the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the 
brook r Kidron. * d*^ 9 . 

1 7 Now they began on the first day of the first j Kings 2, 



month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month 37. 
they to the 3 porch of the Lord : so thev sane- V K

came they to the s porch ui wc j^hu . ou mcj muu- 3 
lified the house of the Lord in eight days ; and in the 
sixteenth day of the first month they made an end. 

18 l^hen they went in to Hezekiah the king, and 
said, We hnve cleansed all the house of the Lord, 

and the altar of burnt-offering, with all the l vessels »* Kings y, 
thereof, and the u shew-bread table, with all the u e s . 25,30. 
vessels thereof. r ; ev ' *i' 4 

19 Moreover, all the vessels, which king Ahaz in c,ap- ' ' 
his reign did x cast away in his transgression, have we ^ch -28/24. 
prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before 

the altar of the Lord. 

20 Then Hezekiah the king rose y early, and gather- £«"■«, J 
ed the 'rulers of the city, and went up to the house ,. s ,,.,, m _ 
of the Lord. ,T^i£ 

21 And they brought a seven bullocks, and seven 2 i, 8.

sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and bLwi4>14; 
for Judah : and he commanded the priests, the sons of 
Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord. 

22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests re- 
ceived the blood, and c sprinkled it on the altar : like- 
wise, when they had killed 1 he rams, ihey sprinkled 
the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, 
and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.

offering before the king and the congregation ; and 
d laid their hands upon them : 

24 And the priests killed them, and they made e re- 
conciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make 
an f atonement for all Israel ; for the king commanded, 
that the burnt-offering and the sin-offering should be 
made for all Israel. 

25 And he g set the Levites in the house of the Lord 
with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, accord- 
ing to the commandment of David, and of h Gad the 
king's seer, and Nathan the prophet ; for so was the 
commandment of the Lord by his prophets. 

26 And the Levites stood with the ' instruments of 
David, and the priests k with the trumpets. 

27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt- 
offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering 
began, the ' song of the Lord began also with the 
trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by m Da- 
vid king of Israel. 

28 And all the congregation n worshipped, and 
the t singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded : 
and all this continued until the burnt-offering was 
finished. 

29 And when they had made "an end of offering, 
the king and all that were present with him bowed 
themselves, and worshipped. 

30 Moreover, Hezekiah the king, and the princes, 
commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the Lord 
with the words of David, and p of Asaph the seer : 
and they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed 
their heads and worshipped. 

31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye 
have consecrated yourselves unto the Lord, come 
near, and bring q sacrifices and thank-offerings into the 
house of the Lord. And the congregation brought in 
sacrifices and thank-offerings ; and as many as were 
of a free heart, ' burnt-offerings. 

32 And the number of the burnt-offerings, which 
the congregation brought, was s threescore and ten 
bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs : 
ail these were for a burnt-offering to the Lord. 

33 And the consecrated things were six hundred 
oxen, and three thousand sheep. 

34 But the priests were too few, so that they could 
not l slay all the burnt-offerings : wherefore their bre- 
thren the Levites did u help them till the work was 
ended, and until the other priests hud sanctified them- 
selves ; for the Levites were more K upright in heart to 
sanctify themselves than the priests. 

35 And also the buint-offcringszmc in abundance, 
with the - v fat of the peace-offerings, and the 'drink- 
offerings for a every burnt-offering. So the service of 
the house of the Lord was set in order. 

36 And Hezekiah l> rejoiced, and all the people, 
that God had prepared the people : for the thing was 
done suddeidy. 

CHAP. XXX. 

Hezekiah proclaimeth a solemn passover. 

AND Hezekiah sent to a all Israel and Judah, and 
wrote hitters also to b Ephraim and Manasseh, 
that they should come to the house of the Loud c at 
Jerusalem, to keep the ,! passover unto the Lord God 
of Israel. 

2 For the king had e taken counsel, and his princes, 
ami all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the 
ptissover in the ' second month. 

3 For they K could not keep it at that time, h be- 
cause the priests had not sanctified themselves suffi- 



ciently, neither had the people gathered themselves 
together to Jerusalem. 

4 And the thing pleased the king and all the con- 
gregation. 

5 So they established a decree, to make proclama- 
tion throughout ' all Israel, from k Beer-sheba even to 
Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto 
the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem ; for they had 
not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written. 

6 So the posts went with the letters from the king 
and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and 
according to the commandment of the king, saying, 
Ye children of Israel, ' turn again unto the Lord God 
of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and m he will return 
to the remnant of you that are n escaped out of the 
hand of the kings of Assyria. 

7 And be not ye ° like your fathers, and like your 
brethren, which trespassed against the Lord God of 
their fathers, who, therefore, >' gave them up to deso- 
lation, as ye see. 

8 Now be ye not q stiff-necked, as your fathers were, 
but yield yourselves unto the Lord, and enter into his 
sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever ; and serve 
the Lord your God, that the fierceness of his wrath 
may turn away from you. 

9 For if ye r turn again unto the Lord, your bre- 
thren and your children shall find s compassion before 
them that lead them captive, so that they shall come 
again into this land : for the Lord your God is gracious 
and merciful, and will not turn away his face from 
you, if ye return unto him. 

10 So the posts passed from city to city, through the 
country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebu- 
lun : but they ' laughed them to scorn and mocked 
them. 

1 1 u Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh 
and of Zebulun x humbled themselves, and came to 
Jerusalem. 

1 2 Also in Judah, the y hand of God was to give 
them z one heart to do the commandment of the king 
and of the princes, by the a word of the Lord. 

13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people 
to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second 
month, a very great congregation. 

1 4 And b they arose, and took away the c altars that 
were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took 
they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron. 

1 5 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth 
day of the second month : and the pries-ts and the Le- 
vites were d ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and 
brought in the burnt-offerings into the house of the 
Lord. 

1 6 And they stood in their place after their manner, 
e according to the law of Moses the man of God : the 
priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the 
hand of the Levites : 

1 7 For there were many in the congregation that 
were not sanctified; therefore the Levites had the 
charge of the killing of the passovers for every one 
(hat was not clean, to sanctify them unto the Lord. 

18 For a multitude of the people, even '-many of 
Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had 
f not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover 
otherwise than it was written : but Hezekiah prayed 
for them, saying, The good Lord pardon every one 

1 9 That 6 prepareth his heart to seek God, the Lord 
God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according 
to the h purification of the sanctuary.

great number of priests sanctified themselves. 

25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the 
priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that 
came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out 
of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, re- 
joiced. 

26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem : for since 
the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel 
there was not the like in Jerusalem. 

27 Then the ° priests the p Levites arose and 
q blessed the people : and their voice was heard, and 
their prayer came up t to his holy dwelling-place, even 
unto heaven. 

CHAP. XXXI. 

The people forward in destroying idolatry. 

NOW a when all this was finished, all Israel that 
were present went out to the cities of Judah, 
and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the 
b groves, and threw down the high places and the 
altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim 
also and Manasseh ; until they had utterly destroyed 
them all. Then all the children of Israel returned 
every man to his possession into their own cities. 

2 And Hezekiah appointed the c courses of the 
priests and the Levites after their courses, every man 
according to his service, the priests and a Levites for 
burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, 
and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the 
e tents of the Lord. 

3 He appointed also the r king's portion of his sub- 
stance for the burnt-offerings, to wit, for the g morning 
and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings 
for the h sabbaths, and for the new moons, ana for the 
1 set feasts, as it is written in the law of the Lokd. 

4 Moreover, he commanded the people that dwelt 
in Jerusalem to give the k portion of the priests and 
the Levites, that they might be ' encouraged in the 
m law of the Lord. 

5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, 
the children of Israel brought in abundance the " first- 
fruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the 
increase of the field ; and the ° tithe of all things 
brought they in abundantly. 

6 And concerning the children of Israel and Judah 
that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in 
the tithes of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of p holy 
things which were consecrated unto the Lord their 
God, and laid them t by heaps.

dation of the heaps, and finished them in the 'seventh 
month. 

8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and 
saw the heaps, they s blessed the Lord, and l his 
people Israel. 

9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and 
the Levites concerning the heaps. 

10 And Azariah the t chief priest, of the house of 
Zadok, answered him and said, Since the people be- 
gan to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, 
we have had u enough to eat, and have left plenty : 
for the Lord hath x blessed his people: and that 
which is left is this great store. 

1 1 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare y cham- 
bers in the house of the Lord ; and they prepared them, 

1 2 And brought in the offerings, and the tithes, and 
the dedicated things, t faithfully ; over which Cono- 
niah the Levite was z ruler, and Shimei his brother 
was the next. 

13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and 
Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and 
Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were over- 
seers, under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his 
brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, 
and Azariah the ruler of the house of God. 

1 4 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the por- 
ter toward the a east, was over the free-will-offerings 
of God, to distribute the oblations of the Lord, and 
the t most holy things. 

1 5 And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and 
Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in 
the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to 
their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to 
the small : 

1 6 Besides their genealogy of males, from three 
years old and upward, even unto every one that enter- 
eth into the house of the Lord, t his daily portion for 
their service in their charges, according to their 
courses ; 

1 7 Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house 
of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old 
and upward, in their charges by their courses : 

1 8 And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their 
wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all 
the congregation : for in their b set office they sancti- 
fied themselves in holiness : 

1 9 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were 
in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every 
several city, the men that were expressed by name to 
give portions to all the males among the priests, and 
to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the 
Levites. 

20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, 
and wrought that which was good and right and truth 
c before the Lord his God. 

21 And in every work that he began in the service 
of the house of God, and in the law, and in the com- 
mandments, to seek his God, he did it d with all his 
heart, and e prospered.

3 He took counsel with his princes and his mighty 
men to c stop the waters of the fountains, which were 
without the city ; and they did help him. 

4 So there was gathered much people together, who 
stopped all the fountains, and the d brook that ran 
through the midst of the land, saying, Why should 
the kings of Assyria come and find much water ? 

5 Also he e strengthened himself, and built up all 
the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the 
f towers, and 6 another Avail without, and repaired 
Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields 
in abundance. 

6 And he set captains of war over the people, and 
gathered them together to him in the street of the gate 
of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying, 

7 Be h strong and courageous, be not afraid nor 
dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the ' mul- 
titude that is with him : for there be k more with us 
than with him. 

8 With him is ' an arm of flesh : but m with us is 
the Lord our God, to help us, and to fight our battles. 
And the people rested themselves upon the words of 
Hezekiah king of Judah. 

9 After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send 
his n servants to Jerusalem, (but. he himself laid siege 
against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto 
Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that w>ere 
at Jerusalem, saying, 

10 Tims sailh Sennacherib king of Assyria, Where- 
on t do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jeru- 
salem ? 

1 1 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over 
yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The 
Lord ° our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the 
king of Assyria ? 

1 2 Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his 
p high places and his altars, and commanded Judah 
and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one 
altar, and burn incense upon it ? 

1 3 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done 
unto all the q people of other lands ? were the gods of 
the nations of those lands any ways r able to deliver 
their lands out of my hand ? 

14 Who was there among all the gods of those na- 
tions, that my fathers 8 utterly destroyed, that could 
deliver his people out of my hand, that your God 
should be able to deliver you out of my hand ? 

15 Now therefore let not Hezekiah e deceive you, 
nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe 
him ; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able 
to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the 
hand of my fathers : t how much less shall your God 
deliver you out of my hand ? 

16 And his servants spake yet more against the 
Lord God, and u against his servant Hezekiah. 

17 He wrote also * letters to rail on the Lord God 
of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the 
gods of the nati jns of other lands have not delivered 
their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of 
Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand. 

1 8 Then they y cried with a ioud voice, in the Jews' 
speech, unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the 
wall, to affright them, and to trouble them, that they 
might take the city. 

19 And they spake against the God of Jerusalem 
as against the gods of the people of the earth, which 
were the work of the hands of man. 

20 For this cause Hezekiah the king, and the 5 pro- 



phet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried a to 
heaven. 

21 And the Lord sent an angel, which cut off" all 
the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and cap- 
tains, in the camp of the king of Assyria : so he re- 
turned with shame of face to his own land. And 
when lie was come into the house of his god, they that 
came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the 
sword. 

22 Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inha- 
bitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib 
the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, 
and || guided them on every side. 

23 And many brought gifts unto the Lord to Jeru- 
salem, and b presents to Hezekiah king of Judah : so 
that he was c magnified in the sight of all nations from 
thenceforth. 

24 d In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, 
and prayed unto the Lord : and he spake unto him, 
and he gave him a sign. 

25 But Hezekiah e rendered not again according 
to the benefit done unto him ; for f his heart was lifted 
up : therefore there was wrath upon him, and & upon 
Judah and Jerusalem. 

26 Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself 
h for tiie pride of his heart, {both he and the inhabit- 
ants of Jerusalem.) so that the wrath of the Lord 
came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. 

27 And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and 
honour : and he made himself treasuries for silver, 
and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, 
and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels ; 

28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and 
wine, and oil ; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and 
cotes for flocks. 

29 Moreover he provided him cities, and posses- 
sions of flocks and herds in abundance ; for ' God had 
given him substance very much. 

30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper 
water-course of Gihon, and brought it straight down 
to the west side of the rity of David. And Hezekiah 
prospered in all his 'works. 

31 Howbeit, in the busiuess of the ambassadors of 
the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to k inquire 
of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him 
to ' try him, that he might m know all that was in his 
heart.' 

32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his 
t goodness, behold, they are written in the " Vision of 
lsaiali the prophet the son of Amoz, and in the book 
of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 

33 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they 
buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons 
of David : and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jeru- 
salem did him honour at his death. And j| Manasseh 
his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAP. XXXIII. 

1 MinasseK's wicked reign : 3 He setteth up idolatry. 

MANASSEH was a twelve years old when he be- 
gan to reign: and he reigned fifty and five 
years in Jerusalem : 

2 But did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, 
like unto the b abominations of the heathen, whom 
the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. 

3 For he t built again the high places which Heze- 
kiah his father had c broken down, and he reared up 
altars for d Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped 
all the e host of heaven, and served them.

4 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, 
whereof the Lord had said, In Jerusalem shall my 
name be for ever. 

5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in 
the f two courts of the house of the Lord. 

6 And he caused his s children to pass through the 
fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he ob- 
served times, and used enchantments, and used witch- 
craft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with 
wizards : he t wrought much evil in the sight of the 
Lord, to provoke him to anger. 

7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he 
had made, in the house of God, of which God had 
said to David, and to Solomon his son, h In this house, 
and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the 
tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever : 

8 Neither will I any more ' remove the foot of Is- 
rael from out of the land which I have appointed for 
your fathers : so that they will take heed to do k all 
that 1 have commanded them, according to the whole 
law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand 
of Moses. 

9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem ' to err, and to do m worse than the hea- 
then, whom the Lord had destroyed before the chil- 
dren of Israel. 

10 And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his 
people ; but they would not " hearken. 

1 1 Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the 
captains of the host of ° the king of Assyria, which 
took Manasseh among the p thorns, and bound him 
with q fetters, and carried him to Babylon. 

12 And when he was r in affliction, he besought 
the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before 
the God of his fathers. 

1 3 And prayed unto him ; and he was s entreated 
of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him 
again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manas- 
seh t knew that the Lord he was God. 

14 Now after this he built u a wall without the city 
of David, on the west side of x Gihon, in the valley, 
even to the entering in at y the fish-gate, and com- 
passed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great 
height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities 
of Judah. 

15 And he took away the z strange gods, and the 
idol out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars 
that he had built in the mount of the house of the 
Lord, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. 

16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and 
sacrificed thereon peace-offerings and thank-offerings, 
and " commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of 
Israel. 

17 Nevertheless, b the people did sacrifice still in 
the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only. 

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his 
prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that 
spake to him in the c name of the Lord God of Israel, 
behold, they are ivritten in the book of the Kings of 
Israel : 

19 His prayer also, and horn God was entreated of 
him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places 
wherein he built high places, and set up groves and 
graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they 
are written among the sayings of the ll seers. 

20 So Manasseh e slept with his fathers, and they 
buried him in his own house : and |j Amon his son 
reigned in his stead.

21 IT Amon was two and twenty years old when he 
began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. 

22 But he did (hat which was evil in the sight of the 
Lord, f as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacri- 
ficed unto all the carved images which Manasseh iris f 1 ^? '* 8 -

and made g dust of them, and strewed it upon the 1. 2. 
graves of them that had sacrificed unto them. e Thais' 'a! 

5 And he burnt the h bones of the priests upon f 1 Kin^s

6 And so did he in the 
Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their £ 3 2 ^k 8 
mattocks round about. i c k 30, 11. 

7 And when he had broken dow r n the altars and 
the groves, and had beaten the graven images k into 
powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the 
land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. 

8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he 
had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan 
the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the 'governor of. laKiup

1 3 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and 
were overseers of all that wrought the work in any 
manner of service ; and of the Levites there were 
scribes, and officers, and porters. 

14 And when they brought out the money that was 
brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the 

Sriest r found a book of the law of the Lord given by 
loses. 

1 5 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the 
scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house 
of the Lord. And Hilkiah delivered the book to 
Shaphan. 

16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and 
brought the king word back again, saying, All that 
was committed to thy servants, they do it. 

1 7 And they have t gathered together the money 
that was found in the house of the Lord, and have 
delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the 
hand of the workmen. 

1 8 Then Shaphan the scr ibe told the king, saying, 
Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Sha- 
phan read t it before the king : 

1 9 And it came to pass, when the king had heard 
the words of the law, that he 8 rent his clothes. 

20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam 
the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, 
and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the 
king's, saying, 

21 Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and || for them 
that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the 
words of the book that is found : for great is the wrath 
of the Lord that is poured out upon us, because our 
fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do 
after all that is written in this book. 

22 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had ap- 
pointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of 
Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah keeper 
of the wardrobe ; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the 
college ;) and they spake to her to that effect. 

23 And she answered them, Thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me, 

24 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, ' I will bring evil 
upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, 
even u all the curses that are written in the book which 
they have read before the king of Judah : 

25 Because they have * forsaken me, and have 
burned incense unto other gods, that they might pro- 
voke me to anger with all the y works of their hands ; 
therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this 
place, and shall z not be quenched. 

26 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to 
inquire of the Lord, so shall ye say unto him, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, concerning the words 
which thou hast heard ; 

27 Because thy heart was || tender, and thou didst 
humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his 
words against this place, and against the inhabitants 
thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst 
rend thy clothes, and weep before me ; I have even 
heard thee also, saith the Lord. 

28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and 
thou shalt be a gathered to thy grave b in peace, nei- 
ther shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring 
upon tliis place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. 
So they brought the king word again. 

29 c Then the king sent and gathered together all 
the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 

30 And the king went up into the house of the 



Lord, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and 
all the people, great and small ; and he read in their 
ears all the words of the book of the covenant that 
was found in the house of the Lord. 

3 1 And the king stood d in his place, and made a 
covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, 
and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, 
and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his 
soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are 
written in this book. 

32 And he caused all that were present in Jerusa- 
lem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, 
the God of their fathers. 

33 And Josiah took away all e the abominations 
out of all the countries that pertained to the children 
of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to 
serve, even to serve the Lord their God. And t all 
his days they departed not f from following the Lord, 
the God of their fathers. 

CHAP. XXXV. 

Josiah keepeth a most solemn passover. 

MOREOVER, Josiah kept a a passover unto the 
Lord in Jerusalem : and they b killed the pass- 
over on the c fourteenth day of the first month. 

2 And he set the priests in their d charges, and 
e encouraged them to the service of the house of the 
Lord, 

3 And said unto the Levites that f taught all Israel, 
which were holy unto the Lord, Put the g holy ark 
in the house which Solomon the son of David king of 
Israel did build ; it shall not be h a burden upon your 
shoulders ; ' serve now the Lord your God, and his 
people Israel, 

4 And prepare yourselves by the k houses of your 
fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of 
1 David king of Israel, and according to the writing 
of m Solomon his son ; 

5 And n stand in the ° holy place, according to the 
divisions of the families of the fathers of your breth- 
ren the people, and after the division of the families of 
the Levites : 

6 So kill the passover, and p sanctify yourselves, 
and prepare your brethren, that they may do accord- 
ing to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses. 

7 And Josiah q gave to the r people, of the flock, 
lambs and kids, all for the passover-offerings, for all 
that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, 
and three thousand bullocks : these were of the king's 
substance. 

8 And his princes gave 8 willingly unto the people, 
to the priests, and to the Levites : l Hilkiah and 
Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave 
unto the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand 
and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen. 

9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, 
his brethren, and Hashabiah, and Jehiel, and Joza- 
bad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites, for 
passover-offerings, || five thousand small cattle, and 
five hundred oxen. 

10 So the service was prepared, and u the priests 
stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, 
according to the king's commandment. 

1 1 And they killed the passover, and the priests 
x sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites 
flayed them. 

12 And they y removed the burnt-offerings, that

slain at Megiddo. 

they might give according to the divisions of the fa- 
milies of the t people, to offer unto the Lord, as :/ is 
written in the book of Moses : and so did they with 
the oxen. 

13 And they roasted the passover z with fire, accord- 
ing to the ordinance : but the other holy offerings sod 
they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided 
them speedily among all the people. 

14 And afterward they made ready for themselves, 
and for the priests : a because the priests the sons of 
Aaron were busied in offering of burnt-offerings and the 
fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for 
themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron. 

1 5 And the singers the sons of Asaph, were in their 
place, according to the b commandment of David, and 
Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer: 
and the porters waited at t every gate : they might not 
depart from their service ; for their brethren the Le- 
vites prepared for them. 

16 So all the service of the Lord was prepared the 
same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt- 
offerings upon the altar of the Lord, according to the 
commandment of king Josiah. 

1 7 And the children of Israel that were present kept 
the passover at that time, and the feast of c unleavened 
bread seven days. 

18 And there was '' no passover like to that kept in 
Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither 
did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as 
Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all 
Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabit- 
ants of Jerusalem. 

1 9 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was 
this passover kept. 

20 IT After all this, when Josiah had prepared the 
temple, e Necho king of Egypt came up to fight 
against Carchemish by Euphrates : and Josiah went 
out against him. 

21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, t What 
have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah ? / come 
not against t thee this day, hut against the house where- 
with I have war ; f for God commanded me to make 
haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is 
with me, that he destroy thee not. 

22 Nevertheless, Josiah would not turn his face 
from him, but E disguised himself, that he might fight 
with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho 
from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley 
of " Megiddo. 

23 And the archers shot at king Josiah : and the 
king said to his servants, Have me away ; for I am 
sore t wounded. 

24 His servants therefore took him out of that cha- 
riot, and put him in the second chariot that he had ; 
and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he 'died, and 
was buried in one o/*the sepulchres of his fathers: and 
all Judah and Jerusalem k mourned for Josiah. 

25 And ' Jeremiah lamented for Josiah ; and all the 
singing-men and the siiiginn-woinen spake of Josiah 
in their lamentations to this day, and made them an 
ordinance in Israel : and, behold, they are written in 
the Lamentations. 

2(3 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good- 
ness, acro-ding to that which teas written in the law 
of the Lord, 

27 And his deeds, m first, and last, behold, they 
fire written in the book of the Kings of Israel and 
Judah.

HEN the people of the land took a Jehoahaz the 




son of Josiah, and made him b king in hip father's

2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when 
he began to reign ; and he reigned three months in 
Jerusalem. 

3 And the king of Egypt c put him down at Jeru- £ C2K . in s s 
salem, and condemned the land in a hundred talents 
of silver, and a talent of gold. 

4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother 
king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name 
to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, 
and carried him d to Egypt. 

5 IT Jehoiakim was e twenty and five years old when j^. 3 ^ )im 
he began to reign; and he reigned f eleven years in P* i»7, 11,

6 Against him came up g Nebuchadnezzar king of f 2 Jj^"

7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the ' vessels of Dan. 1, 1.

8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his 
k abominations which he did, and that which was found 
in him,- behold, they are written in the book of the 
kings of Israel and Judah : and ' Jehoiachin his son 
reigned in his stead. 

9 IT Jehoiachin was m eight years old when he began 
to reign ; and he reigned three months and ten days 
in Jerusalem : and he did that which was evil in the 
sight of the Lord. 

10 And when the year was expired, king Nebu-

goodly vessels of the house of the Lord, and made

The proclamation of Cyrus for the building of the temple. 

NOW in the first year of a Cyrus king of Persia, 
(that the word h of the Lord by the mouth of 
Jeremiah might be c fulfilled.) the Lord d stirred up 
the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made e a 
proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it 
also in writing, saying, 

2 Thus sairli Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God 
of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth ; 
and he hath r charged me to build him a house at Je- 
rusalem, which is in Judah : 

3 g Who is there among you of all his people ? his 
God be h with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, 
which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord 
God of Israel ( l he is the God) which is k in Jerusalem. 

4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he 
sojourneth, let the men of his place t help him with 
silver, and with gold, and wkh goods, and with beasts, 
besides the ' free-will-offering for the house of God 
that is in Jerusalem. 

5 Then rose up the "chief of the fathers of Judah 
and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levitos, with 
all them whose n spirit God had raised to go up to build 
flie house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. 

6 And all ° they that icere about them strengthened 
their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, 
and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all 
that was p willingly offered. 

7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of 
the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had 
brought q forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in 
the house of his r gods ; 

8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth 
by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and num- 
bered them unto s Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 

9 And this is the 'number of them : thirty chargers 
of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty 
knives, 

10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a se- 
cond sort four hundred and ten, and u other vessels a 
thousand. 

11 AH the vessels of gold and of silver were five 
thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar 
bring up with them rifihe captivity, that were brought 
up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.

8 Now in the. second year of their coming unto the 
house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, 
began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua 
the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren 
the priests and the Levites, and all they that were 
come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and ap- 
pointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, 
to set forward the work of the house of the Lord. 

9 Then q stood Jeshu&ioith his sons and his brethren, 
Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to 
set forward the workmen in the house of God ; the 
sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren 
the Levites. 

1 And when the builders laid the foundation of the 
temple of the Lord, they set the priests in their ap- 
parel with r trumpets, and the Levites the sons of 
Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the 
ordinance of David king of Israel. 

1 1 And they sung together by course, in praising 
and giving thanks unto the Lord ; because he is good, 
for his mercy endureth for ever towards Israel. And 
all the people s shouted with a great shout when they 
praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house 
of the Lord was laid. 

12 But many of the priests and Levites, and chief 
of the fathers, who loere ancient men, that had seen 
the *• first house, when the foundation of this house was 
laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice ; and 
many shouted aloud u for joy ; 

1 3 So that the people could not discern the noise 
of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of 
the people : for the people shouted with a loud shout, 
and the noise was heard afar off. 

CHAP. IV. 

17 The decree of Artaxerxes. 23 The building is hindered. 
~OW when the a adversaries of Judah and Ben- 
jamin heard that the children of the captivity 
builded the temple unto the b LoRD God of Israel, 

2 c Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the d chief 
of the fathers, and said unto them, e Let us build with 
you; for f we seek your God, as ye do; and we do 
E sacrifice unto him, since the days of h Esar-haddon 
king of Assur, which brought us up hither. 

3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the 
chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, You have 
nothing to do with us to build a house unto our God ; 
but we ourselves together will build unto the Lord God 
of Israel, ' as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath com- 
manded us. 

4 k Then the people of the land ' weakened the 
hands of the people of Judah, and m troubled them in 
building ; 

5 And hired n counsellors against them, to ° frus- 
trate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of 
Persia, even until p the reign of Darius king of Persia. 

6 And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning 
of his reign, wrote they mito him, an accusation against 
the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. 

7 And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, 
Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rfest of their companions, 
unto Artaxerxes king of Persia ; and the writing of 
the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and in- 
terpreted in the Syrian tongue. 

8 llehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, 
wrote a letter q against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the 
king in this sort. : 

9 Then wry* Rehimn the chancellor, and Shimshai 
the scribe, and the rest of their companions ; the! 



Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the 
Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the 
Susanchites, the Dehavit.es, and the Elamites, 

1 And the rest of the nations whom the great and 
noble Asnapper brought over, and set in the cilies of 
Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, 
and t at such a time. 

1 1 This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto 
him, even unto Artaxerxes the king : Thy servants 
on this side the river, and at such a time. 

12 Be it known unto the king, that the Jews, which 
came up from thee to us, are come unto Jerusalem, 
building the r rebellious and the s bad city, and have 
set ' up the walls thereof and t joined the foundations. 

13 Be it known now unto the king, that if this city 
be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they 
not t pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt 
endamage the revenue of the kings. 

1 4 Now, because t we have maintenance from the 
king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the 
king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified 
the king, 

1 5 Thai search may be made in the book of the 
" records of thy fathers : so shalt thou find in the 
book of the records, and know, that this city is a re- 
bellious city, and x hurtful unto kings and provinces, 
and that they have moved sedition within the same 
of old time : for which cause was this city destroyed. 

1 6 We certify the king, that if this city be builded 
again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means 
thou shalt have no portion on this side the river. 

1 7 1 Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the 
chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest 
of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto 
the rest beyond the river, y Peace, and at such a time. 

18 The letter which ye sent unto us hath been 
plainly read before me. 

1 9 And I commanded, and search hath been made, 
and it is found that this city of old time hath made 
insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and 
sedition have been made therein. 

20 There have been L mighty kings also over Jeru- 
salem, which have uiled over all countries a beyond 
the river ; and toll, tribute, and b custom, was paid 
unto them. 

21 Give ye now commandment to cause these men 
to cease, and that this city be not builded, until an- 
other commandment shall be given from me. 

22 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this : why 
should damage grow to the hurt of the kings ? 

23 IT Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' 
letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the 
scribe, and their companions, they went up c in haste 
to Jerusalem, unto the Jews, and made them to cease 
t by force and power. 

24 Then ceased the work of the house of God 
which is at Jerusalem. So it d ceased unto the second 
year of the reign of Darius king of Persia. 

CHAP. V. 

Zerubbabel and Jeshua set forward the building of the temple. 

THEN the prophets, a Haggai the prophet, and 
h Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto 
the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem c in the 
name of the God of Israel, even unto them. 

2 Then ,J rose up e Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel. 
and Jeshua the son of Jozadak. and f began to build 
the house of God which is at. Jerusalem : and with 
1 them were the prophets of God ' helping them.

The building again set forward. 

3 At the same time came to them Tatnai, h governor 
on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their 
companions, and said thus unto them, ' Who hath 
commanded you to build this house, and to make up 
this k wall ? 

4 Then said ' we unto them after this manner, 
What are the names of the men that make this build- 
ing ?

of the Jews, that they could n not cause them to cease, 
till the matter came to Darius : and then they p re- 
turned answer by letter concerning this matter.

panions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the 
river, sent unto Darius the king : 

7 They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written 
thus : Unto Darius the king, all peace. 

8 Be it known unto the king, that ? we went into 
the province of Judea, to the house of the r great God, 
which is builded with t great stones, and timber is 
laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and 
prospereth in their hands. 

9 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them 
thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and 
to make up these walls ? 

10 We asked their s names also, to certify thee, 
that we might write the names of the men that were 
the chief of them. 

1 1 And thus they returned us answer, saying, l We 
are the servants of the u God of heaven and earth, 
and build the house that was x builded these many 
years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and 
set up. 

1 2 But after that our fathers had y provoked the 
God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the 
hand of z Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the 
Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the 
people away into Babylon. 

13 But in the a first year of Cyrus the king of 
Babylon, the same king Cyrus made a decree to build 
this house of God. 

14 And the b vessels also of gold and silver of the 
house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of 
the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and brought them 
into the temple of Babylon, those did e Cyrus the king 
take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were 
delivered unto one whose name was Sheshbazzar, 
whom he had made governor; 

15 And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, cany 
them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the 
house of God be builded in his place. 

16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the 
foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem : 
and since that time, even until now, hath it been in 
building, and yet it is d not finished. 

1 7 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let 
there be search made in the king's treasure-house, 
which is there at Babylon, whether it be so that a 
decree vvaf, made of Cyrus the king to buikl this house 
of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send e his plea- 
sure to us concerning this matter.

that is in the province of the Medes, a b roll, and 
therein was a record thus written : 

3 In the first year of Cyrus ihe king, the same Cyrus 
the king made a decree concerning the house of God ° a - 40 ' 
at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place 
where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations 
thereof be strongly laid ; the height thereof c three- 
score cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits; 

4 With three d rows of great stones, and a row of a i Kings 6, 
new timber : and let the e expenses be given out of Chapters 8 
the king's house : e ch. 7, ho. 

5 And also let the golden and silver f vessels of the f ch. 5, 14. 
house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out 
of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto 
Babylon, g be restored and brought again unto the gch.7,8. 
temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, 
and place them in the house of God. 

6 Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, 
Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsa- 
ck-ites, which are beyond the river, h be ye far from 
thence ; 

7 ' Let the work of this house of God alone ; let 
the governor of the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, 
build this house of God in his place. 

8 Moreover, 1 1 make a decree what ye shall do to 
the elders of these Jews, for the building of this house 
of God : that, of the king's goods, even of the tribute 
beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto 
these men, that they be not hindered. 

9 And that which they have need of, both young 
bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt-offerings

that which Darius the king had sent, l so they did 
speedily. 

14 And the elders of the Jews builded, and they

15 And this house was finished on ihe third day of

16 And the children of Israel, the * priests and the

6 This Ezra went up from Babylon ; and he was 
6 a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord 
God of Israel had given : and the king granted him 
all his request, according to the h hand of the Lord 
his God upon him. 

7 And there went up some of the ' children of Israel, 
and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, 
and the porters, and the k Nethinims. unto Jerusalem, 

J 1 rh ■ 2 < 4 |- in the ' seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. 

8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, 
which was in the seventh year of the king. 

9 For upon the first day of the m first month began 
he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the 
fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the 
good hand of his God upon him. 

1 For Ezra had n prepared his heart to seek the 
law of the Lord, and to ° do it, and to p teach in 
Israel statutes and judgments. 

1 1 IT Now this is the copy of the letter that the 
i Tim. 3,2. kj n g Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, 

even a scribe of the words of the commandments of 
the Lord, and of his statutes to Israel. 

12 Artaxerxes, i king of kings, Unto Ezra the 
priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, per- 
fect peace., and at such a time. 

13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of 
Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, 

r p». i i», 3. which are minded of r their own free will to go up to 
Jerusalem, go with thee. 

1 4 Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of 
his B seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah 
and Jerusalem, according to the law of ' thy God 
which is in thy hand ; 



s Esther 1, 
14. 
Dm. 2, 47. 



15 And to carry the silver and gold, which the king 
and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God 
of Israel, whose u habitation is in Jerusalem ; 

16 And all the silver and gold that thou canst find 
x in all the province of Babylon, with the free-will- 
offering of the people, and of the priests, offering will- 
ingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem : 

1 7 That thou mayest buy speedily with this money, 
y bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat-offerings, and 
their drink-offerings, and offer them upon the altar of 
the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. 

18 And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and 
to thy brethren, z to do with the rest of the silver and 
the gold, that do a after the will of your God. 

19 The vessels also that are given thee for the ser- 
vice of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before 
the God of Jerusalem. 

20 And whatsoever more shall be needful for the 
house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to 
bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure-house. 

21 And I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, do make a 
decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, 
that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law 
of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done 
speedily, 

22 Unto || a hundred talents of silver, and to a 
hundred t measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths 
of wine, and to a hundred j| baths of oil,, and salt 
without prescribing how much. 

23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of hea- 
ven, let it be diligently clone for the house of the God 
of heaven : for why should there be " wrath against 
the realm of the king and his sons ? 

24 Also we certify you, that, touching any of the 
priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or 
ministers of this house of God ; it shall not be lawful 
to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them. 

25 And thou, SVira, after the wisdom of thy God, 
that is in thy hand, c set magistrates and judges, 
which may judge all the people that are beyond the 
river, all such as d know the laws of thy God ; and 
teach ye them that know them not. 

26 And whosoever vviil not do the law of thy God, 
and the law of the king, let judgment be executed 
speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to 
t banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to im- 
prisonment. 

27 IT e Blessed be the Lord God of our fathers, which 
hath f put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to 
beautify the house of the Lord which h in g Jerusalem ; 

28 And hath extended mercy unto me before the 
king and his counsellors, and before ah the king's 
mighty princes. And I was h strengthened as the 
' hand of the Lord my God was upon me ; and J gath- 
ered together out of Israel chief men to go up wi*i' me.

9 Of the sons of m Joab ; n Obadiah the son of Jehiel,

1 1 And of the sons of ° Bebai ; Zechariah the son

1 3 And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names 
are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with 
them threescore males. 

1 4 Of the sons also of Bigvai ; Uthai, and Zabbud, 
and with them seventy males. 

1 5 And I gathered them together to the q river that 
runneth to Ahava ; and there r abode we in tents three 
days : and I s viewed the people and the priests, and 
found there t none of the sons of Levi. 

1 6 Theff sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, 
and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, 
and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshul- 
lam, chief men ; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, 
men of understanding. 

1 7 And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo 
the chief, at the place Casiphia ; and t I told them 
what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren 
the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should 
bring unto us ministers for the house of our God. 

18 And, by the u good hand of our God upon us, 
they brought us x a man of understanding, of the sons 
of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel ; and 
Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen ; 

1 9 And y Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the 
sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty; 

20 Also of the z Nethinims, whom David and the 
princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, 
two hundred and twenty Nethinims : all of them 
were expressed by name. 

21 Then 1 proclaimed a a fast there at the river 
Ahava, that we might b afflict ourselves before our 
God, to seek of him c a right way for us, and for our 
little ones, and for all our substance. 

22 For I was ashamed to require of the khig a 
band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the 
enemy in the way : because we had spoken unto the 
king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them 
d for good that e seek him ; but his power and hi 
r wrath is against all them that g forsake him. 

23 So we fasted, and besought our God for this ; 
and he was h entreated of us. 

24 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the 
priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their breth 
ren with them, 

25 And ' weighed unto them the silver, and the 
gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of 
our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his 
lords, and all Israel there present, had k offered ; 

26 I even weighed unto their hand six bundled and 
fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels a hundred 
talents, and of gold a hundred talents ; 



CHAP. IX. He mournelh for the people, fyc. 

27 Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams ; 




and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold. 

28 And I said unto them, Ye are l holy unto the 
Lord ; m the vessels are holy also ; and the silver and ^Levl*' 3 
the gold are a free-will-offering unto the Lord God of 16- 
your fathers : Num - 4 - 4 

29 n Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them " Gen. 31,

of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring ° 1Km £ 9 6 > 
them to Jerusalem, unto the house of our God. Neh. 10,39. 

31 Then we departed from the river of Ahava, on fg 1 ^ 44 ' *

he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of 

such as lay in wait by the way. 

32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there 
three days.

gold, and the vessels, weighed in the house of our God 

by the hand of q Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest ; q Neh. 3, 4. 
and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas ; and & 10 > 5 - 
with them was r Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and r Neh. 8, 7. 
Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites ; 

34 By number and by weight of every one : and all 
the weight was written at that time. 

35 Also the children of those that had been carried 
away, which were come out of the captivity, offered 
' burnt-offerings unto the God of Israel, l twelve bul- 
locks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and 
seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering : all 
this was a burnt-offering unto the Lord. 

36 And they delivered the king's commissions unto 
the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this 
side the river ; and they T furthered the people, and 
the house of God.

great trespass unto this day: anrl for our iniquities! 
have we, our kings, and. our priests, been delivered 
into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, 
to captivity, and to a spoil, and to q confusion of face, 
as it is this day. 

8 And now for a little space grace hath been shelved 
from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to 
escape, and to give us || a nail in his holy place, that 
our God may lighten our eyes, and give us r a little 
reviving in our bondage. 

9 For we were bondmen ; yet our God hath s not 
forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy 
unto us in the l sight of the kings of Persia, to give us 
a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to re- 
pair the desolations thereof, and to give us " a wall in 
Judah and in Jerusalem. 

10 And now, O our God, x what shall we say after 
this ? for we have forsaken thy commandments, 

1 1 Which thou hast y commanded by thy servants 
the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to 
possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the 
people of the lands, with their abominations, which 
have filled it from one end to another with their 
uncieanness. 

12 Now, therefore, z give not your daughters unto 
their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, 
a nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever ; that ye 
may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave 
it for b an inheritance to your children for ever. 

1 3 And after all that is come upon us for our evil 
deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our 
God hast punished us r less than our iniquities deserve, 
and hast given us such deliverance as this ; 

1 4 Should we (l again break thy commandments, 
and join in affinity with the people of these abomina- 
tions, wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou 
hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant 
nor escaping? 

15 O Lord God of Israel, thou art e righteous; for 
we remain yet escaped, as it is this day ; behold, we 
are f before thee in our trespasses ; for we g cannot 
stand before thee because of this. 

CHAP. X. 

Ezra mourning, assembleth the people. 

OW when Ezra had prayed, and when he had 

d confessed, weeping and casting himself down 

b before the house of God, there assembled unto him 

out of Israel a very great congregation of men, and 

c women, and children : for the people wept very sore. 

2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons 
of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have tres- 
passed against our God, and have J taken strange 
wives of the people of the land : yet now there is 
e hope in Israel concerning this thing. 

3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our 
God to put away all the wives, and such as are born 
of them, r according to the counsel of my lord, and of 
those that tremble at the commandment of our God ; 
and let it be done according to the law. 

4 g Arise ; for this matter belongeth unto thee : we 
also will be with thee ; h be of good courage, and 
1 do it. 

5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the 
Levites, and all Israel, k to swear that they should do 
according to this word. And they sware. 

6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, 
and went into the ! chamber of Johanan the son of 
Eliashib : and when he came thither, he did m eat no

EZRA. Those who married strange wives 

bread, nor drink water ; for he mourned because of the 
transgression of them that had been carried away. 

7 And they t made proclamation throughout Judah 
and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, 
that they should gather themselves together unto Je- 
rusalem ; 

8 And that whosoever would not come within three 
days, according to the counsel of the princes and the 
elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and him- 
self || separated from the congregation of those that had 
been carried away. 

9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered John 9,' I2 
themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days: Jude 19- 
it was the "ninth month, and the twentieth day of the n Esther 2 
month ; and all the people sat in the ° street of the 
house of God, trembling because of this matter, and 
for the t great rain. 

10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto 
them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange 
wives \ to increase the trespass of Israel. 

1 1 Now therefore make p confession unto the Lord 
God of your fathers, and q do his pleasure ; and 
r separate yourselves from the people of the land, and 
from the strange wives. 

12 Then all the congregation answered and said 
with a loud voice, As thou hast said, 8 so must we do. 

1 3 But the people are t many, and it is a time of ??™;_3„ 2 
much rain, and we are not able to stand without, 
neither is this a work of one day or two ; for we are 
many that have transgressed in this thing. 

14 Let now our " rulers of all the congregation 
stand, and let all them which have taken strange 
wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with 
them the elders of every city, and the * judges thereof, 
until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be 
turned from us. 

15 IF >' Only Jonathan the son of Asahel, and Ja- 
haziah the son of Tikvah, were employed about this 
matter; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite 
helped them. 

1 6 And the children of the captivity did so. And 
Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after 
the house of their fathers, and all of them by their 
names, were separated, and sat down in the first day 
of the tenth month to examine the matter. 

1 7 And they made an end with all the men that had 
taken strange wives by the first day of the first month. 

1 8 And among the sons of the priests there were 
z found that had taken strange wives ; namely, of the 
sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren ; 
Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

JVehemiah mourneth,fasteth, and pray eth. 

THE words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. 
And it came to pass in the month a Chisleu, in 
the b twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, 

2 That c Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he 
and certain men of Judah ; and 1 asked them con- 
cerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left 
of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 

3 And they said unto me, The remnant tnat are 
left of the captivity there in the d province are e in 
great affliction and reproach : the wall of Jerusalem 
also is f broken down, and the gates thereof are burnt 
with fire. 

4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, 
that g I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, 
and h fasted, and ' prayed before the God of heaven, 

5 And said, I beseech thee, k O Lord God of 
heaven, the ' great and terrible God, that m keepeth 
covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe 
his commandments ; 

6 n Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes 
open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, 
which I pray before thee now, day and ° night, for 
the children of Israel thy servants, p and confess the 
sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned 
q against thee : both I and my father's house have 
sinned. 

7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and 
have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, 
nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy ser- 
vant Moses. 

8 r Remember, 1 beseech thee, the word that thou 
commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, s If ye trans- 
gress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations : 

9 But if ye 'turn unto me. and keep my command- 
ments, and do them ; though there were of you u cast 
out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I 
gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the 
place that I have chosen to set my name there. 

10 Now these are thy x servants, and thy people, 
whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and 
by thy >' strong hand. 

11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be 
attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the 
prayer of thy servants, who desire to *fear thy name ; 
and ' prosper, 1 pray the(;, thy servant this day, and 
giant him mercy in the sight of this man : For I was 
the king's cup-bearer.

Ariaxerxes sendeth Nehemiah to Jerusalem.. 
ND it came to pass in the month a Nisan, in the 
twentieth year of h Artaxerxes the king, that 
wine was before him : and 1 took up the c wine, and 
gave it unto the king. Now I had not been before- 
time d sad in his presence. 

2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy 
countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick ? this is 
nothing else but e sorrow of heart. Then I was 
f very sore afraid, 

3 And said unto the king, g Let the king live for 
ever : b why should not my countenance be sad, 
when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, 
littk waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with 
fire? 

4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou 
make request 1 So 1 ' prayed to the God of heaven. 

5 And I said unto the king, If it k please the king, 
and if thy 'servant have found favour in thy sight, that 
that thou wouldest ' send me unto Judah, unto the 
city of my fathers' sepulchres, that m I may build it. 

6 And the " king said unto me, (the queen also 
sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be ? 
and when wilt thou return ? So it pleased the king to 
send me ; and I " set him a time. 

7 Moreover, I said unto the king, If it please the 
king, let p letters be given me to the governors beyond 
the river, that they may convey me over, till I come 
into Judah ; 

8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's 
forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for 
the gates of the palace which q appertained to the 
house, and for the u all of the city, and for the house 
r that 1 shall enter into. And the king granted me, 
according to the B good hand of my God upon me. 

9 Then I came to the governors beyond the river, 
and gave them the king's letters. (Now the king 
had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.) 

10 When Sanballat the l Horonite, and Tobiah the 
"servant, the * Ammonite, heard of it, it ? grieved 
them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek 
the welfare of the children of Israel. 

1 1 So I came to Jerusalem, and was * there three 
days.

CHAP. IV. 

While the enemies scoff, Nehemiah prayeth. 
UT it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard 
that a we builded the wall, he was wroth, and 
took great b indignation, and c mocked the Jews. 
2 And he spake before his brethren and the army 
di Cor. l, f Samaria, and said, What do these J feeble Jews ? 
will they fortify themselves ? will thev sacrifice ? will 
e Hab. 3, 2. they make an end in a day ? will they e revive the 
stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burnt ? 
fNeh.2,io. 3 Now f Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he 
g Mark 16, said, Even that which they build, if s a fox go up, he 
shall even break down their stone wall. 

4 h Hear, O our God ; for we are despised : and 
' turn their reproach upon their own head, and give 
them for a prey in the land of captivity ; 

5 And k cover not their iniquity, and let not their 
sin be ' blotted out from before thee : for they have 
provoked thee to anger before the builders. 

6 m So built we the wall ; and all the wall was 
n joined together unto the half thereof : for the people 
had ° a mind to work. 

-7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and 
Tobiah, and the p Arabians, and the q Ammonites, 
and the r Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusa- 
lem were made up, and that the breaches began to be 
e Gen. a, is. stopped, then they were 3 very wroth, 
1 2 Chr. 20, 8 And conspired l all of them together to come and 
Ps. 83, 3 4. t° n ?ht against Jerusalem, and to hinder it, 

9 Nevertheless we made our u prayer unto our God, 
and x set a watch against them day and night, because 
of them. 

10 And Judah said, The y strength of the bearers 
of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish, so 
that we are not z able to build the wall. 

1 1 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, 
neither see, till we come in the midst among them. 
and slay them, and cause the work to cease. 

12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews which 
a dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, 
From all places whence ye shall return unto us they 
will be upon you. 

13 Therefore t set I in the lower places behind the 
wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people 
after their families, with their swords, their spears, 
and their bows. 

14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the 
nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people. 
b Be not ye afraid of them : c remember the Lord 
which is great and terrible, and fight for your '' brethren, 
your sons and your daughters, your e wives and your 
houses. 

15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard 
that it was known unto us, and God had brought 
f their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to 
the wall, every one unto his work. 

16 And it came to pass, from that time forth, that

the half of my ? servants wrought in the work, and 
the other half of them h held botlithe spears, the shields, 
and the bows, and the habergeons ; and the rulers were 
behind all the house of Judah. 

1 7 They which builded on the wall, and they that h Ps. 144, 1 
bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with l88, 28 ' 26, 
one of his hands wrought in the work, ana with the 

other hand held a weapon. 

1 8 For the builders, every one had his sword girded 
by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the 
trumpet was by me. 

1 9 And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, 
and to the rest of the people, The work is great and 
large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far 
from another : 

20 In what place there/ore ye hear the sound of the 
trumpet, resort, ye thither unto us : our God shall 

1 fight for US. . i Ex. 14,25 

21 So k we laboured in the work : and half of them De „ ut - *- 30 
held the spears, from the rising of the morning till R i n .' 8,' si.

22 Likewise at the same time said I unto the peo- 23, 
pie, Let every one with his servant lodge within Je- 
rusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, 
and labour on the day. 

23 So neither T, nor my brethren, nor my servants, Vq^'^. 
nor the men of the guard which followed me, none 
of us ' put off our clothes, || saving that every one put 
them off for washing.

8 And 1 said unto them, We, after our ability, have

their peace, and '' found nothing to answer.

them. 

12 Then said they, We will restore them, and will 
y require nothing of them ; so will we do as thou say- 
est. Then I called the priests, and took z an oath of 
them, that they should do according to this promise. 

13 Also I a shook my lap, and said, So b God shake 
out every man from his house, and from his labour, 
that performeth not this promise, even thus be he 
shaken out and emptied. And all the congregation 
said, c Amen, and praised the Lord. And the people 
d did according to this promise. 

14 Moreover, from the time that I was appointed 
to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the 
twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of 
Artaxerxes the king, that is, e twelve years, 1 and my 
brethren have not eaten the f bread of the governor. 

15 But the former governors that had been before 
me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken 
of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of sil- 
ver ; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people : 
but so did not I, s because of the fear of God. 

1 6 Yea, also, I h continued in the work of this wall, 
neither ' bought we any land : and all my servants 
were gathered thither unto the work. 

1 7 Moreover, there were k at my table a hundred 
and fifty of die Jews and rulers, besides those that 
came unto us from among the heathen that are 
about us. 

18 Now that which was prepared for me daily was 
1 one ox and six choice sheep ; also fowls were pre- 
pared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts 
of wine : yet for all this required not I the bread of the 
governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this 
people. 

1 9 m Think upon me, my God, for good, n according 
to all that I have done for this people. 

CHAP. VI. 

Sanballat practiseth by craft to terrify JVehemiah. 

'OW it came to pass, when Sanballat, and To- 
biah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of 
our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and 
that there was a no breach left therein, (though at that 
time I had b not set up the doors upon the gates,) 

2 That Sanballat and Geshem c sent unto me, say- 
ing, Come, let us meet together in some one of the 
villages in the plain of d Ono. But they thought to do 
me e mischief. 

3 And f I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am 
doing a great work, so that I cannot come down : why 
should the E work cease, whilst I leave it, and come 
down to you ? 

4 Yet they sent unto me h four times after this sort ; 
and I answered them after the same manner. 

5 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me, in like 
manner, the fifth time, with an open letter in his 
hand ; 

6 Wherein was written, ' It is reported among the 
heathen, and Gashmu k saith it, that thou and the Jews 
think to ' rebel : for which cause thou buildest the 
wall, that thou mayest be m their king, according to 
these words. 

7 And thou hast also appointed n prophets to preach 
of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Ju- 
dah : and now shall it be reported to the king accord- 
ing to these words. Come now therefore, and let us 
take counsel together. 

8 Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such 



things done as thou sayest, but thou ° feignest them out 
of thine own heart. 

9 For they all made us p afraid, saying, q Their 
hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not 
done. Now therefore, O God, r strengthen my hands. 

1 Afterward I came unto the house of s Shemaiah 
the son of * Delaiah, the son of Mehetabeel, who ivas 
" shut up ; and he said, Let us meet together in the 
x house of God, within the temple ; and let us shut 
the doors of the temple : for they will come to slay 
thee ; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee. 

11 And I said, Should y such a man as I flee ? and 
z who is there that being as I am, would go into the 
temple to save his life ? a I will not go in. 

1 2 And, lo, b I perceived that God had not sent 
him ; but that he c pronounced this prophecy against 
me : for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 

1 3 Therefore was he hired, that I should be d afraid, 
and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter 
for an evil report, that they might reproach me. 

1 4 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanbal- 
lat according to these their works, and on the e pro- 
phetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets that 
would have put me in fear. 

1 5 II So the wall was f finished in the twenty and 
fifth dap of the month Elul, g in fifty and two days. 

1 6 And it came to pass, that when h all our ene- 
mies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were 
about us saw these things, they were ' much cast down 
in their own eyes : for they perceived that this work 
was wrought of k our God. 

1 7 Moreover, in those days, the nobles of Judah 
1 sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of 
Tobiah came unto them. 

18 For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, 
because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son 
of m Arah ; and his son Johanan had taken the daugh- 
ter of n Meshullam the son of Berechiah. 

19 Also they reported his t good deeds before me, 
and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent 
letters to put me in fear. 

CHAP. VII. 

A register of those who returned from Babylon. 
OW it came to pass, when the wall was built, 
and I had set up the a doors, and the porters, 
and the singers, and the Levites were appointed, 

2 That I gave my brother b Hanani, and Hana- 
niah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem : 
(for he was a faithful man, and c feared d God above 
many :) 

3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jeru- 
salem be opened until the sun be hot ; and while they 
stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them : and 
appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every 
one in his watch, and every one to be over against his 
house. 

4 Now the city was large and great : but the people 
zoere few therein, and the e houses were not builded. 

•5 And my God ' put into my heart to gather to- 
gether the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that 
they might be reckoned by genealogy : and I found a 
register of the genealogy of them which came up at 
the first, and found written therein, 

6 s These are the children of the province, that 
went up out of the captivity, of those that had been 
carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of 
Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusa- 
lem and to Judah, every one unto his city ;

CHAP. VIII. 

The religious manner of reading and hearing the law. 

ND all the people gathered themselves together 

a as one man into the street that was before the 

ci tor 3 6 ' b water-gate ; and c they spake unto Ezra the d scribe, 

to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the 

Lord had commanded to Israel. 

2 And Ezra the priest brought the e law before the 

congregation, both of f men and women, and all that 

Mat"i5*9! could hear with understanding, upon the first day of 

fGafVas' tne Sseventn month. 

i Pet. 3, i. 3 And he h read therein before the street that was 
| Lev. 23, before the water-gate, from the morning until mid-day, 
l kin° s 8, 2. before the men and the women, and those that could 
» Act! 13, understand : and ' the ears of all the people were 
attentive unto the book of the law. 

4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, 
which they had made for the purpose ; and k beside 
him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and 
Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand ; 
and on his left hand, Pedakih, and Mishael, and Mal- 
chiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, 
and Meshullam. 

5 And Ezra ! opened the book in the sight of all the 
people ; (for he was above all the people ;) and when 

«i Judges 3, he opened it, all the people m stood up. 

6 A nd Ezra n blessed the Lord, the great God : 
and all the people answered, ° Amen, Amen, with 

i 6i or ' ' p lifting up their hands : and they q bowed their heads, 
and worshipped the Lord with their r faces to the 
ground. 

7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, 
Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, 
A/.ariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, 
caused the people to understand the law : and the 
people stood in their place. 

8 So they read in the book, in the law of God, s dis- 
tinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to under- 
stand the reading. 

9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra 
u^Deut. 16, t h e p r i es t the scribe, and the Levites that taught the 
Ec'cl.3,3,4. people, said unto all the people, This day is l holy 

Janis^ 1 '!' vml ° ^ e k° RD y° ur ^°d 5 u mourn not, nor weep. 
' For all the people x wept when they heard the words 
of the law. 

1 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the 
fat, and drink the sweet, and y send portions unto 
them for whom nothing is prepared : for this day is 
L holy unto our Lord : neither be ye sorry ; for the 
a joy of the Lord is your strength. 

1 1 So the Levites b stilled all the people, saying, 
Hold your peace ; for the day is holy ; neither be ye I

to drink, and to send portions, and to make great 
mirth, (1 because they had understood the words that 
were declared unto them. 

1 3 IF And on the c second day were gathered toge- 
ther the chief of the fathers of all the people, the 
f priests and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to ( Mat 13, 
understand the words of the law. 52 - 

1 4 And they found written in the law which the 
Lord had commanded by Moses, that the children of 
Israel should dwell in g booths in the feast of the g^ev. 23, 
seventh month : 34> 

15 And that they should h publish and proclaim in h p 9 . si, 3. 
all their cities, and in ' Jerusalem, saying, Go forth i Deut. 16, 
unto the mount, and fetch k olive-branches, and pine- J 6 - 
branches, and myrtle-branches, and palm-branches, and 4t>. ev 
branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. 

16 So the people went forth, and brought them, and 

made themselves booths, every one upon the ' roof of i Deut. 2, a. 
his house, and in their courts, and in the m courts of 1*1-2 Chr. 23, 
the house of God, and in the street of the n water- 
gate, and in the street of the ° gate of Ephraim. 

17 And all the congregation of them that were 
come again out of the captivity made booths, and p sat 
under the booths : for since the days of q Jeshua the 
son of Nun, r unto that day, had not the children of 
Israel done so. And there was s very great gladness. 

1 8 Also day by day, from the first 4 day unto the 
last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And 
they kept the feast seven days ; and on the eighth day 
was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner. 

CHAP. IX. 

A solemn fast, and repentance of the people, 

NOW in the twenty and fourth day of" a this month 
the children of Israel were assembled with b fast- 
ing, and with c sackclothes, and d earth upon them. 

2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from 
all strangers, and e stood and f confessed their sins, 
and the iniquities g of their fathers. 

3 And they stood up in their place, and h read in 
the book of the law of the Lord their God one ' fourth 
part of the day, and another fourth part they confessed, 
and worshipped the Lord their God. 

4 Then stood up upon the k stairs, of the Levites, k ch. 8, 4. 
Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Shere- 
biah, Bani, and Chenani, and ' cried with a loud voice lEx. u, 15, 
unto the Lord their God. 

5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, 
Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and 
Pethahiah, said, Stand up, and m bless the Lord your m E P h. 1, 
God for ever and ever ; and blessed be thy n glorious l\^ 
name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. 

6 Thou, even thou, art Lord alone: thou hast

Hie Levites make confession 

1 And shewedst e signs and wonders upon Pha- 
raoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of 
his land ; for thou knewest that they dealt f proudly 
against them : so didst thou get thee g a name, as it is 
this day. 

1 1 And thou didst h divide the sea before them, 
that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry 
land ; and their persecutors thou threwest into the 
deeps, ' as a stone into the mighty waters. 

1 2 Moreover, thou k leddest them in the day by a 
cloudy pillar, and in the night by a pillar of fire, to 
give them light in the way wherein they should go. 

1 3 Thou earnest down also upon ' mount Sinai, and 
spakest with them m from heaven, and gavest them 
n right judgments and true laws, good statutes and 
commandments : 

14 And mad est known unto them thy ° holy sab- 
bath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and 
laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant : 

1 5 And gavest them p bread from heaven for their 
i Cor. io,3, nun g er? an d broughtest forth water for them out of the 
gEx 17, 6. q rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they 

should r go in to possess the land which thou hadst 
sworn to give them. 

1 6 But they and s our fathers dealt l proudly, and 
hardened their necks, and u hearkened not to thy 
commandments, 

1 7 And refused to obey, neither were x mindful of 
the wonders that thou didst among them ; but harden- 
ed their necks, and in their rebellion appointed y a 
captain to return to their bondage : but thou art a God 
ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, z slow to anger, 
and of great kindness, and a forsookest them not. 

1 8 Yea, when they had made them h a molten calf, 
and said, This is thy god that brought thee up out of 
Egypt, and had wrought great provocations ; 

1 9 Yet thou, in thy c manifold mercies, forsookest 
them not in the wilderness : the d pillar of the cloud 
departed not from them by day, to lead them in the 
way ; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them 
light, and the way wherein they should go. 

20 Thou gavest also thy e good Spirit to instruct 
them, and withheldest not thy f manna from their 
mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. 

21 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the 
wilderness, so that B they lacked nothing; their h clothes 
waxed not old, and their feet 'swelled not. 

22 Moreover, thou gavest them kingdoms and na- 
tions, and didst divide them into corners : so they pos- 
sessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of 

j Num. 21, k Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. 

23 Their children also multipliedst thou as the ' stars 
of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, con- 
cerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, 
that they should go m in to possess it. 

24 So the children went in and possessed the land, 
n p». 44, 3. and thou n subduedst before them the inhabitants of the 

land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, 
with their kings, and the people of the land, that they 
might do with them as they would. 

25 And they took strong cities, and ° a fat land, 
and possessed p houses full of all goods, wells digged, 
vineyards, and olive-yards, and fruit-trees in abun- 
dance : so they did eat, and were filled, ancl became 
fat, and q delighted themselves in thy great goodness. 

26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled 
against thee, and cast thy law r behind their backs, 
and s slew thy prophets, which testified against them

bring them again unto thy law : yet they dealt proudly, 
and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but 
sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man b do, 
he shall live in them,) and withdrew the shoulder, and 
hardened their neck, and would not hear : 

30 Yet many years didst thou c forbear them, and 
testifiedst against them by thy Spirit in thy prophets ; 
yet would they d not give ear : therefore e gavest thou 
them into the hand of the people of the lands. 

3 1 Nevertheless, for thy f great mercies' sake, thou 42, 24.' 
didst g not utterly consume them, nor forsake them ; * Ps - 106, 7 
for thou art a gracious and merciful God. 

32 Now therefore, our God, h the great, the mighty, 
and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mer- 
cy, let not all the trouble seem ' little before thee, that i isa. 40, 1 
hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and 
on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, 
and on all thy people, since the time of the kings k of 
Assyria unto this day. 

33 Howbeit, thou art 'just in all that is brought 
upon us ; for thou hast done m right, but we have done 
wickedly : 

34 Neither have n our kings, our princes, our priests, 
nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy 
commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou 
didst testify against them. 

35 For they have not served thee in their kingdom, 
and °in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and 
in the large and fat land which thou gavest before 
them, neither turned they from p their wicked works. 

36 Behold, we are q servants this day ; and for the q Deut 
land that thou gavest unto our fathers, r to eat the fruit ^p eut > 
thereof, and the good thereof, behold, we are servants 33. 51 
in it: 

37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings 
whom thou hast set over us because of our sins : also 
they have dominion over our bodies, and over our sch. 10,2s 
cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress, l^mm, 

38 And s because of all this, we make a t sure Ezra 10. j. 
covenant, and write it : and our princes, Levites, and l^ s " t Z 
priests, t seal unto it.

29 They s clave to their brethren, their nobles, and 
entered into l a curse, and into an oath, to walk in 
God's law, which was given u by Moses the servant 
of God, and to observe and x do all the command- 
ments of the Lord our Lord, and his judgments, and 
his statutes ; 

30 And that we would y not give our daughters 
unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters 
for our sons : 

3 1 And if the people of the land bring z ware or 
any victuals on the sabbath-day to sell, that we would 
not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day ; 
and that we a would leave the seventh year, and the 
exaction of every b debt. 

32 Also we made c ordinances for us, to charge 
ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel, for 
the d service of the house of our God ; 

33 For the e shew-bread, and for the continual 
meat-offering, and for the continual burnt-offering, 
of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, 
and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings, to 
make an t atonement for Israel, and for all the work 
of the house of our God. 

34 And f we cast the lots among the priests, the 
Levites, and the people, for the E wood-offering, to 
bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of 
our fathers, at times appointed, year by year, to burn 
upon the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written 
in the law ; 

35 And to bring h the first-fruits of our ground, and 
the first-fruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, 
unto the house of the Lord : 

36 Also the first-born of our sons, and of our cat- 
tle, (as it is written in the law,) and the ' firstlings of 
our herds, and of our flocks, to bring to the house of 
our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of

37 And that we should bring the k first-fruits of our 
dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner 
of ' trees, of wine, and of oil, unto the priests, to the 



chambers of the house of our God ; and the tithes of 
our m ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites 
might have the || tithes in all the cities of our tillage. 

38 And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with 
the Levites, when the Levites take tithes : and the 
Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the 
house of our God, to the n chambers, into the treasure- 
house. 

39 For the children of Israel and the children of 
Levi, shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new 
wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the 
vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, 
and the porters, and the singers : and we ° will not 
forsake the house of our God.

IT The Levites, in the clays of Eliashib, Joiada, 
and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the 
fathers ; also the priests, to the reign of Darius the 
j| Persian. 

23 The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were 
written in t the book of the Chronicles, even until the ban. 8, 21, 
days of Johanan the son of Eliashib. ? 2 keb 

24 And the chief of the Levites : Hashabiah, She- words of 
rebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their f^' 
brethren over against them, to praise and to give 14. 
thanks, according to the commandment of David the 
3 man of God, * ward over against ward. 

25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshul- 2 Chl 
lam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters, keeping the ward 1 1 cir 
at the || thresholds of the gates. 

26 These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Je- ties, or, as 
shua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah sembhe h 
the u governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe. 

27 And at the x dedication of the wall of Jerusa- 
lem they sought the Levites out of ali their places, to 
bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with 
y gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, 
with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. 

28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves 
together, both out of the plain country round about 21 
Jerusalem, and from the villages of 7 - Netophathi ; 

29 Also from the a house of Gilgal, and out of the 
fields of h Geba and Azmavcth : for the singers had 
builded them villages round about Jerusalem. 

30 And the priests and the Levites c purified them- 
selves, and purified the people, and the ll gates, and 
the wall. 

31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon 
the e wall, and appointed two great companies of them jch 
that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand 
upon the wall, toward the f dung-gate : 

32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the 
princes of Judah, 

33 And eAzariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, 

34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and

36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Mi- 
lalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanee], and Judah, Hanani, 
with the ' musical instruments of David the man of 
God, and Ezra the scribe before them. 

37 And at the k fountain-gate, which was over 
against them, they went up by the ' stairs of the city 
of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house 
of David, even unto the "' water-gate eastward. 

38 And the other company of them that gave thanks 
went over against them, and I after them, and the half 
of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of 
the n furnaces even unto the broad wall ; 

39 And from above the ° gate of Ephraim, and 
above p the old gate, and above the fish-gate, and the 
tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even 
unto the sheep-gate : and they stood still in the 
q prison-gate. 

40 So ^stood the two companies of them that gave 
thanks in -the house of God, and I, and the half of the 
rulers with me : 

41 And the priests ; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, 
Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with 
trumpets ; 

42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, 
and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, 
and Ezer. And the singers t sang loud, with Jezra- 
hiah their overseer. 

43 Also that day they offered r great sacrifices, and 
s rejoiced ; for l God had made them rejoice with great 
joy : the wives also and the children rejoiced ; so that 
the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. 

44 And at that time were some appointed over the 
u chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the 
first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out 
of the fields of the cities, the portions of the law for 
the priests and Levites : for Judah rejoiced for the 
priests and for the Levites that waited. 

45 And both the singers and the porters kept the 
ward of x their God, and the ward of the purification, 
according to the commandment of David, and of 
Solomon his son. 

46 For in the days of David and Asaph, of old, 
there were y chief of the singers, and songs of praise 
and thanksgiving unto God. 

47 And all Israel, in the days of Zcrubbabel, and 
in the days of Nehemiah, gave the z portions of the 
singers and the porters every t day his portion ; and 
they a sanctified holy things unto the Levites, and the 
Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron. 

CHAP. XIII. 

Divers abuses reformed by J\"ehemiah. 

ON a that day they read in the book of Moses in 
the audience of the people ; and therein was 
found b written, that die c Ammonite and the Moabite 
should not come into the congregation of God for ever ; 

2 Because they ° met not the children of Israel 
with bread and with water, but e hired Balaam against 
them, that he should curse them ; howbeit our God 
f turned the curse into a blessing. 

3 Now it came to pass, when they had g heard the 
law, that they separated from Israel all the h mixed 
multitude. 

4 TT And j before this, Eliashib the priest, having 
the k oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, 
was ' allied unto Tobiah : 

5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, 
where aforetime they laid the m meat-offerings, the 
frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the 



corn, the new wine, and the oil, (which was n com- 
manded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, 
and the porters,) and the offerings of the priests. 

6 But in all this time ° was not I at Jerusalem : for 
in the p two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of 
Babylon came 1 unto the king, and after certain days 
obtained I leave of the king. 

7 And I came to Jerusalem, and q understood of 
the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him 
a chamber in r the courts of the house of God. 

8 And it 3 grieved me sore : therefore I cast forth 
all the household-stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. 

9 Then I t commanded, and they cleansed the 
chambers ; and thither brought I again the vessels of 
the house of God, with the meat-offering and the 
frankincense. 

1 H And I perceived that the * portions of the Le- 
vites had not been given them : for the Levites and 
the singers that did the u work were fled every one to 
his field. 

1 1 Then x contended I with the rulers, and said, 
Why is the y house of God forsaken ? And I gathered 
them together, and set them in their place. 

1 2 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn, 
and the new wine, and the oil, unto the treasuries. 

13 And I made z treasurers over the treasuries, 
Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe ; and of 
the Levites, Pedaiah ; and next to them was Hanan 
the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah : for they 
were counted a faithful ; and their office was to distri- 
bute unto their brethren. 

1 4 b Remember me, O my God, concerning this, 
and wipe not out my t good deeds that I have done 
for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof. 

15 IT In those days saw I in Judah some tread- 
ing wine-presses on the c sabbath, and bringing in 
(1 sheaves, and lading asses ; as also wine, grapes, and 
figs, and all manner of e burdens, which they brought 
into Jerusalem on the sabbath-day : and I testified 
against them in the clay wherein they sold victuals. 

1 6 There dwelt men of f Tyre also therein, which 
brought fish, and g all manner of ware, and sold on 
the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in b Je- 
rusalem. 

17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, 
and said unto them, What evil thing is this that 'ye 
do, and profane (he sabbath-day? 

1 8 Did not k your fathers thus, and did not our God 
bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city ? yet ye 
I bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the 
sabbath. 

19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Je- 
rusalem began to be l dark before the sabbath, I com- 
manded that the gates should be shut, and charged 
that they should not be opened till after the sabbath : 
and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there 
should no burden be brought in on the sabbath-day. 

20 So the merchants, and sellers of all kind of ware, 
lodged without Jerusalem once or twice. 

21 Then I testified against them, and said unto 
them, Wh> lodge ye about the wall ? if ye do so again, 
I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came 
they no more on the sabbath. 

22 And m I commanded the Levites, that, they 
should n cleanse themselves, and that they should come 
and ° keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath-day. 
Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and 
spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy

CHAP. I. 

1 Ahasuerus maketh royal feasts. 10 Vashti sent for. 

NOW it came to pass in the days of a Ahasuerus, 
(this is Ahasuerus which reigned from India even 
unto Ethiopia, over b a hundred and seven and twenty 
provinces,) 

2 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus c sat 
on the throne of his kingdom, which was in d Shushan 
the palace, 

3 In the third year of his reign, he made e a feast 
unto all his princes and his f servants ; the E power of 
Persia and Media, the h nobles and princes of the 
provinces, being before him ; 

4 When he j shewed the riches of his glorious king- 
dom, and the honour of his k excellent majesty, many 
days, even a hundred and fourscore days. 

5 And Avhen these days were expired, the king 
marie a feast unto all the people that were present in 
Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven 
days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace ; 

6 Where were white, green, and blue hangings, fas- 
tened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings 
and pillars of marble : the ' beds were of gold and sil- 
ver, upon m a pavement of red, and blue, and white, 
and black marble. 

7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the 
vessels being diverse one from another,) and t royal 
wine n in abundance, according to the state of the king. 

8 And the drinking was acceding to the law ; none 
did !| compel : for the king had ° appointed to all the 
officers of his house, that they should do according to 
every man's pleasure. 

9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women 
in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus. 

10 IT On the seventh day, when the heart of the 
king was p merry with wine, he commanded Mehu- 
man, Ri/.tha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, 
and Carras, the seven chamberlains that served in 
the presence of Ahnsuerns the king, 

1 1 To bring Vashti the queen before the king, with 
the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes 
her q beauty : for she was fair to look on. 

L.2 lilii the queen Vashti r refused to come at the 
king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore 
was the king very * wroth, and his l anger burned in 
him. 

13 Then the king said to the. "wise men, which 
s knew the times, (for somas the king's manner to- 
ward all that knew y law and judgment : 
2 T 



1 4 And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, 
Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan. 
z the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw 
a the king's face, and which sat the first in the king- 
dom ;) 

15 What shall h we do unto the queen Vashti ac- 
cording to law, because she hath not performed the 
commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the cham- 
berlains ? 

16 And Memucan answered t before the king and 
the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done c wrong 
to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all 
the people that are in all the provinces of the king 
Ahasuerus. 

17 For this deed of the queen shall come abroad 
unto all women, so that they shall d despise their hus- 
bands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The 
king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be 
brought in before him, but she came not. 

18 Likeivise shall the ladies of Persia and Media 
say this day unto all the king's princes, which have 
heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise 
too much contempt and wrath. 

1 9 If it please the king, let there go a royal command- 
ment from him, and let it be written among the laws 
of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, 
that Vashti e come no more before king Ahasuerus ; 
and let the king give her royal estate unto another that 
is better than she. 

20 And when the king's decree which he shall make 
shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is 
great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands 
f honour, both to great and small. 

21 And the saying t pleased the king and the 
princes; and the king did according to the word of 
Memucan : 

22 For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, 
into every province according to the writing thereof, 
and to every people after their language, that every 
man g should bear rule in his own house; and f that // 
should be '' published according to the language ol 
every people.

unto him, Let there d be fair young virgins sought for 
the king : 

3 And let the king appoint officers in e all the pro- 
vinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together 
all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to 
the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the 
king's chamberlain, keeper of the women ; and let 
their || things for purification be given them : 

4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king f be 
queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the 
king, and he did so. 

5 IT Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain 
° Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of J air, the 
son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite, 

6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with 
the captivity which had been carried away with h Je- 
coniah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the 
king of Babylon had carried away. 

7 And he t brought up Hadassah (that is Esther) 
his uncle's daughter ; for she had neither ' father nor 
mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful ; whom 
Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, 
took for his own k daughter. 

8 So it came to pass, when the king's command- 
ment and his decree was heard, and when many 
maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the 
palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was 
brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of 
Hegai, keeper of the women. 

9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained 
1 kindness of him ; and he speedily gave her her things 
for purification, with such things as belonged to her, 
and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, 
out of the king's house : and he preferred her and her 
maids unto the best place of the house of the women. 

1 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kin- 
dred : for Mordecai had m charged her that she should 
not shew it. 

1 1 And Mordecai walked t every day before the 
court of the women's house, to t know how Esther 
did, and what should become of her. 

1 2 Now, when t every maid's turn was come to go 
in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been n twelve 
months, according to the manner of the women, (for 
so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to 
wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months 
with sweet odours, and with other things for the puri- 
fying of the women,) 

1 3 Then thus came every maiden unto the king ; 
whatsoever she desired was given her, to go with her 
out of the house of the women unto the king's house. 

1 4 In the evening she went, and on the morrow 
she returned into the second house of the women, to 
the custody of Shaashgaz the king's chamberlain, 
which kept the concubines : she came in unto the 
king no more, except the king delighted in her, and 
that she were called by name. 

15 Now when the "turn of Esther, the daughter 
of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her 
for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she 
required p nothing but what Hegai the king's cham- 
berlain, the keeper of the women, appointed : and 
Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that 
looked upon her. 

16 So Esther was q taken unto king Ahasuerus into 
his house royal in the tenth month, which is the 
month Tebeth, in the r seventh year of his reign. 

1 7 And the king loved Esther s above all the 



women, and she obtained grace and favour t in his 
sight more than all the virgins ; so that he set the royal 
t crown upon her head, and made her queen instead 
of Vashti. 

1 8 Then the king made a great feast unto all his 
princes and his servants, even l Esther's feast ; and he 
made a release to the provinces, and gave u gifts ac- 
cording to the state of the king. 

19 And when the virgins were gathered together 
the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king's 
gate. 

20 Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her 
people, as Mordecai had charged her : for Esther did 
the commandment of Mordecai, like x as when she 
was brought up with him. 

21 Tin those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's 
gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and 
Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and 
sought y to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. 

22 And the tiling was z known to Mordecai, who 
told it unto Esther the queen, and Esther certified the 
king thereof in Mordecai's name. 

23 And when inquisition was made of the matter, 
it was found out ; therefore they were both a hanged 
on a tree : and it was written in the book of the 
b Chronicles before the king.

Haman seekelh revenge upon all the Jews. 

AFTER these things did king Ahasuerus a promote 
Hainan the son of Hammedatha the b Agagite, 
and advanced him, and set his seat c above all the 
princes that were with him. 

2 And all the king's servants, that were in the king's 
gate, bowed and reverenced Haman : for the king had 
'' so commanded concerning him : but Mordecai e bow- 
ed not, nor did hint, reverence. 

3 Then the king's servants, which were in the king's 
gate, said unto Mordecai, f Why transgressest thou 
the king's commandment ? 

4 Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto 
him, and g he hearkened not unto them, that h they told 
Haman, to see whether ' Mordecai's matters would 
stand : for he had told them that he was k a Jew. 

5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed 
not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman ' full of 
wrath. 

6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai 
alone ; for they had shewed liim the people of Mor- 
decai : wherefore Haman sought m to destroy all the 
Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of 
Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai. 

7 In the fust month, (that is the month n Nisan,) in 
the ° twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast p Pur, 
that is, the lot, q before Haman, from day to day, and 
from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is the 
month Adar. 

8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is 
r a certain people s scattered abroad and dispersed 
among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom ; 
and * their laws are diverse from all people, neither 
u keep they the x king's laws, therefore it is not for the 
king's profit to suffer them. 

9 If it please the king, let it be written that they 
may be destroyed ; and I will pay y ten thousand 
talents of silver to the hands of those that have the 
charge of the business, to bring it into the king's 
treasuries.

gave it unto Raman the son ot Hammedatha the 
Agagite, the a Jews' enemy. 

1 1 And the king said unto Haman, The silver is 
given to thee, b the people also, to do with them as it 
c seemeth good to thee. 

12 Then were the king's scribes called on the thir- 
teenth day of the first month, and there was written 
according to all that Haman had commanded, unto 
the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were 
over every province, and to the rulers of every people 
of every province, according to the writing thereof, 
and to every people after their language ; in the 
d name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed 
with the king's ring. 

13 And the letters were sent e by posts into all the 
king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to 
perish f all Jews, both young and old, little children 
and women, g in one day, even upon the thirteenth day 
of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and 
to take the spoil of them for a prey. 

1 4 The copy of the writing, for a commandment to 
be given in every province, was published unto all 
people, that they should be ready against that day. 

1 5 The posts went out, being hastened by the king's 
commandment ; and the decree was given in Shushan 
the palace. And the king and Haman sat down h to 
drink ; but the ' city Shushan was perplexed. 

CHAP. IV. 
The great mourning of Mordecai and the Jews. 

WHEN Mordecai perceived a all that was done, 
Mordecai b rent his clothes, and put on c sack- 
cloth with d ashes, and went out into the midst of the 
city, and e cried with a loud and a bitter cry ; 

2 And came even before the king's gate : for none 
might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth. 

3 And in every province, whithersoever the king's 
commandment and his decree came, there was f great 
mourning among the Jews, and 6 fasting, and weeping, 
and wailing : and many lay in sackcloth and ashes. 

4 So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came 
and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly 
grieved ; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, 
and to take away the sackcloth from him : but he 
b received it not. 

5 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's 
chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon 
her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, ' to 
know what it was, and why it was. 

6 So Hatach k went forth to Mordecai unto the 
street of the city, which was before the king's gate : 

7 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened 
unto him, and of the ' sum of the money that Haman 
had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the 
Jews, to destroy them : 

8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the 
decree that was given at ra Shushan to destroy them, 
to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and 
to n charge her that she should go in unto the king, to 
make ° supplication unto him, and to make p request 
before him for her people. 

9 And Hatach came and q told Esther the words of 
Mordecai ; 

10 r Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave 
him commandment unto Mordecai ; 

1 1 All the king's servants, and the people of the 
King's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether 
5 man or woman, shall come unto the king into the 
1 inner court, who is " not called, there is * one law of

shall y hold out the golden sceptre, thai he may live : 
but I have not been called to come in unto the king 
these z thirty days. 

1 2 And they told to Mordecai Esther's words. 

1 3 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, 
Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in a the 
king's house more than all the Jews. 

14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace b at this bisa. 49,23 
time, then shall there t enlargement and deliverance + neb. 
arise to the Jews from c another place ; but u thou y^f*^ 
and thy father's house shall be destroyed : and e who /ech.2,5 8 
knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for H ^ b - 13 > 5 
s/ich a time as this ? 

15 Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this 
answer ; 

16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are pre- 
sent in Shushan, and f fast ye for me, and neither eat 
nor drink three days, night or day : g 1 also and my 
maidens will fast likewise ; and h so will I go in unto 
the king, which is not according to the law ; and ' if 
1 perish, I perish. 

17 So Mordecai went his way, and k did according Heb. 11,24 
to all that Esther had commanded him. k Isa - n > 6 - 

CHAP. V. 

Esther obtaineth the grace of the golden sceptre. 
OW it came to pass on the a third day that Esther 

put on her b royal appnreL and stood in the c in- 
ner court of the king's house, over against the king's 
house : and the king sat upon his royal throne in the 
royal house, over against the gate of the house. 

2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the 
queen standing in the court, that she (1 obtained favour 
in his sight : and the king e held out to Esther the 
golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew 
near, and touched the f top of the sceptre. 

3 Then said the king unto her, g What wilt thou, 
queen Esther ? and what is thy request 1 it shall be 
even given thee to the h half of the kingdom. 

4 And Esther ' answered, If it seem good unto the 
king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the 
k banquet that I have prepared for him. 

5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make 
haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the 
king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther James3 ' Ki 
had prepared. 

6 And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of 

wine, What is thy petition? and ' it shall be granted 1 1 Chr. 17, 
thee : and what is thy request ? even to the half of the 23, 
kingdom it shall be performed. 

7 Then answered Esther, and said, m My petition m Gen. 38, 
and my request is ; 

8 If I have found favour in the sight of the king, 
and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to 
perform my request, let the king and Haman come to 
the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will 
do to-morrow as the king hath said. 

9 Then went Haman forth that day "joyful and 
with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai 
in the king's gate, that he "stood not up, nor moved 
for him, he was '' full of indignation against Mor- 
decai. 

10 Nevertheless, Haman q refrained himself: and 
when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, 
and r Zeresh his wife. 

11 And Hainan told them of the 9 glory of his 
riches, and the ' multitude of his children, and all the ich. 9, 10.

12 Hainan said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen 
did let no man come in with the king unto the ban- 
quet that she had prepared but myself; and K to-mor- 
row am T invited unto her also with the king. 

1 3 Yet y all this availeth me nothing, so long as I 
see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate. 

1 4 Then said z Zeresh his wife and all d his friends 
unto him, Let b a gallows be made of fifty cubits 
high, and c to-morrow speak thou unto the king that 
Mordecai may be hanged thereon : d then go thou in 
merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the 
thing pleased Haman ; and he e caused the gallows 
to be made. 

CHAP. VI. 

Ahasuerus rewardeth Mordecai. 
N a that night could- not the king b sleep ; and he 
commanded to bring the book of records of the 
Chronicles ; and they were read before the king. 

2 And it was c found written, That Mordecai had 
to!<! of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's cham- 
berlains, the keepers of the door, who sought d to lay 
hand on the king Ahasuerus. 

3 And the king said, e What honour and dignity 
hath been done to Mordecai for this ? Then said the 
king's servants that ministered unto him, There is 
nothing done for him. 

4 And the king said, Who is in the court ? (Now 
Haman was come into the outward court of the king's 
house, to speak unto the king f to hang Mordecai on 
the gallows that he had prepared for him.) 

5 And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, 
Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, 
Let him come in. 

6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto 
him, What shall be done unto the man t whom the 
king delighteth to honour? (Now Haman thought in 
his heart, To whom would the king delight to do 
honour more than to myself?) 

7 And Haman answered the king, P^or the man 
g whom the king delighteth to honour, 

8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king 
useth to wear, and the h horse that the king rideth upon, 
and the crown-royal which is set upon his head : 

9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to 
the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that 
they may array the man withal whom the king de- 
lighteth to honour, and ' bring him on horseback 
through the street of the city, and proclaim before 
him, Thus shall it be done to the'man whom the king 
delighteth to honour. 

1 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and 
take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and 
do even so to Mordecai the Jew that sitteth at the 
king's gate : let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken. 

1 1 Then took Haman the apparel, and the horse, 
and k arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horse- 
back through the street of the city, and proclaimed 
before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom 
the king delighteth to honour. 

12 And Mordecai ' came again to the king's gate : 
but Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having 
his head D! covered. 

13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his 
friends n every thing that had befallen him. Then 
said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If 
Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom

thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt ° not prevail against 
him, but shalt surely p fall before him. 

1 4 And while they were yet talking with him, came 
the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman 3. Zech " u 
unto the banquet that Esther had q prepared. 
CHAP. VII. 

Esther maketh suit for her own life and her people's. 

SO the king and Haman came to banquet with 
Esther the queen. 

2 And the king said again unto Esther, on the a se- » ch. 5, 6. 
cond day, at the banquet of wine, What is thy peti- 
tion, queen Esther ? and it shall be granted thee : and 

what is thy request ? and it shall be performed, even 
to the half of the kingdom. 

3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I 
have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please 
the king, let b my life be given me at my petition, and 
e my people at my request : 

4 For we are d sold, 1 and my people, to be de- 
stroyed, to be slain, and to perish : but if we had been 
sold for e bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my & 4% 3 ' 9 " 
tongue, although the enemy could not f countervail e Josh.9,16. 
the king's damage. 

5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto 
Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that 
durst presume in his heart to do so ? 

6 And Esther said, The g adversary and enemy is gEcct. 8,5. 
this h wicked Haman. Then Haman was -"afraid be- h Ps 1 i39, 
fore the king and the queen. 

7 And the king, arising from the banquet of wine 
in his k wrath, went into the palace-garden : and Ha- k Ps. 62, a 
man ' stood up to 'make request for his life to Esther 
the queen ; for he saw that there was evil m deter- 
mined against him by the king. 

Then the king returned out of the palace-garden 
into the place of the banquet of wine ; and Haman 
was " fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then nch. l, 6, 
said the king, Will he force the queen also before me 
in the house ? As the word went out of the king's 
mouth, they ° covered Haman's face. 

9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, p said 
before the king, Behold also, the q gallows fifty cubits 
high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had 
spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of 
Haman. Then the king said, r Hang him thereon. 

1 So they s hanged Haman on the gallows that he s p 8 . 53, 6. 
'had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's u^" ek 6 *f£ 
wrath u pacified. 63. 

CHAP. VIII. 

Esther maketh suit to reverse Haman's letters. 

ON a that day did the king Ahasuerus b give the a verse 13. 
house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, unto Esther ^ jobs!^' 
the queen : and Mordecai came before the king ; for p sa i. 37, 35. 
Esther had told what he was ° unto her. 

2 And the king took off d his ring, which he had 
taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And 
Esther set Mordecai e over the house of Haman. 

3 And Esther spake yet again before the king, and 
fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to 
put away the r miscliief of Haman the Agagite, and 
his device that he had devised against the Jews. 

4 Then the king g held out the golden sceptre to- s ch - 6 . 2. 
ward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the 

king? 

5 And said, If it please the king, and if I have found 
favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the 
king, and I be h pleasing in his eyes, let it be written 
to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of

Hammedatha the Agagitc, which he wrote to destroy 
die Jews which are in all the king's province? : 

6 For how can I t endure to see the evil that shall 
come unto ' my people ? or how can I endure to see 
the k destruction of my kindred ? 

7 Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the 
queen, and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have 
given Esther the ' house of Haman, and him they have 
hanged upon the gallows, because m he laid his hand 
upon the Jews. 

8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in 
the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for 
the writing which is written in the king's name, and 
sealed with the king's ring, may n no man reverse. 

9 Then were the king's scribes called at that time 
in the ° third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the 
three and twentieth day thereof: and it was written, 
according to all that Mordecai commanded, unto the 
Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and 
rulers of the provinces which are from India unto 
Ethiopia, a hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto 
every province according to the writing thereof, and 
unto every people after their language, and to the 
Jews according to their writing, and according to their 
language. 

10 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus' p name, and 
sealed it with the king's ring ; and sent letters by posts 
on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young 
dromedaries : 

1 1 Wherein the king granted the Jews which were 
in every city to gather themselves together, and q to 
stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to 
perish, all the power of the people and province that 
would assault them, both little ones and women, and 
to take T the spoil of them for a prey, 

12 ' Upon one day, in all the provinces of king 
Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the 
twelfth month, which is the month Adar. 

13 The copy of the writing, for a commandment 
to be given in every province, teas published unto all 
people, and that the Jews should be ready against 
that day * to avenge themselves on their enemies. 

1 4 So the posts that rode upon mules and camels 
went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's 
commandment. And the decree was given at u Shu- 
shan the palace. 

1 5 And Mordecai went out from the presence of the 
king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a 
great x crown of gold, and with a garment of fine 
linen and purple : and the city of Shushan y rejoiced 
and was glad. 

16 The Jews had z light, and gladness, and a joy, 
and b honour. 

1 7 And in every province, and in every city, whither- 
soever the king's commandment and his decree came, 
the Jews had joy and gladness, c a feast and a good 
day. And many of the people of the land d became 
Jews ; for the e fear of the Jews fell upon them. 

CHAP. IX. 

The Jews slay their enemies, and the sons of Haman. 

NOW in the twelfth month, that is the month 
a Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when 
the king's commandment and his decree drew near to 
be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the 
Jews h hoped to have power over them, (though it Was 
c turned to the contrary, that the Jews had (1 rule over 
them that hated them,) 

2 The Jews e gathered themselves together in their 



cities, throughout all the provinces of the king Aha- 
suerus, to lay hand on such as f sought their hurt 5 and 
no man could withstand them ; for the g fear of them 
fell upon all people. 

3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieu- 
tenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, 
helped the Jews ; because the h fear of Mordecai fell 
upon them. 

4 For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and 
his fame went out throughout all the provinces : for 
this man Mordecai waxed ' greater and greater. 

5 Thus the Jews k smote all their enemies with the 
stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, 
and did what they would unto those that hated them. 

6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and 
destroyed five hundred men, 

7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, 

8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, 

9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and 
Vajezatha, 

10 The ten sons of Haman, the son of Hamme- 
datha, the enemy of the Jews, l slew they ; but on the 
spoil laid they m not their hand. 

1 1 On that day the number of those that were slain 
in Shushan the palace was brought before the king. 

1 2 And the king said unto Esther the queen, The 
Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in 
Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman ; what 
have they done in the rest of the king's provinces ! 
Now what is thy petition ? and it shall be granted 
thee ; or what is thy request further ? and it shall be 
done. 

1 3 Then said Esther, n If it please the king, let it 
be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do 
to-morrow also according unto this day's decree, and 
let ° Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows. 

1 4 And the king commanded it so to be done ; and 
the decree was given at Shushan ; and they hanged 
Haman's ten sons. 

1 5 For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered 
themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the 
month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan ; 
but on the prey they laid not their hand. 

1 6 But the p other Jews that were in the king's pro- 
vinces gathered themselves together, and stood for 
their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew 
of their foes seventy and five thousand (but they laid 
not their hands on the prey) 

1 7 On the q thirteenth day of the month Adar : and 
on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and 
made it a day of r feasting and gladness. 

1 8 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled 
together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the four- 
teenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same 
they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness. 

19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in 
the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day -of the 
month Adar a day of gladness and t feasting, and a 
good day, and of sending portions one to another. 

20 And Mordecai "wrote these tilings, and sent 
letters unto all the Jews' that were in all the provinces 
of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far, 

21 To stablish this among them, that (hey should 
keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the 
fifteenth day of the same 'yearly, 

22 As the days w herein the Jews " rested from tlieii 
enemies, and the month which was turned unto them 
from x sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good

to the poor. 

23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had 
y begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them ; 

24 Because Hainan the son of Hammed atha the 
Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised 
against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast || Pur 
(that is, the lot) to consume them, and to destroy 
them : 

25 But when Esther came before the king, he com-

1 The BOOK of JOB. 



CHAP. I. 

The holiness, and religious care of Job for his children. 

THERE was a man in the land of a Uz, whose 
name was b Job ; and that man was c perfect and 
d upright, and one that e feared God, and f eschewed 
evil. 

2 And there were born unto him g seven sons and 
three daughters. 

3 His h substance also was seven thousand sheep, 
and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of 
oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great 
household ; so that this man was the greatest of all 
the men of the east. 

4 And his sons went and ' feasted in their houses 
every one k his day ; and sent and called for their three 
sisters, ' to eat and to drink with them. 

5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting 
were gone about, that Joh sent and m sanctified them, 
and n rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt- 
offerings according ° to the number of them all : for 
Job said, p It may be that my sons have q sinned, 
and cursed God in their r hearts. Thus did Job 
3 continually. 

6 IT Now there was a day when * the sons of God 
came to " present themselves before the Lord, and 
x Satan came also among them. 

7 And the Lord said unto Satan, y Whence comest 
thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From 
z going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up 
and down in it. 

8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou con- 
sidered my servant Job, that there is none like him 
in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that 
feareth God, and escheweth evil ? 

9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth 
Job fear God for nought ? 



1 Hast not thou made a a hedge about him, and 
about his b house, and about all that he hath on every 
side ? Thou hast blessed the c work of his hands, and 
his substance is increased in the land : 

1 1 But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that 
he hath, and he will d curse thee to thy face. 

12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that 
he hath is e in thy power ; f only upon himself put not 
forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence 
of the Lord. 

1 3 IT And there was a da} 7 when his sons and his 
daughters were E eating and drinking wine in their 
eldest brother's house : 

1 4 And there came h a messenger unto Job, and 
said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding 
beside them ; 

1 5 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them 
away ; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge 
of the sword; and ' I only am escaped alone to tell 
thee. 

1 6 k While he was yet. speaking, there came also 
another, and said, ' The fire of God is fallen from 
heaven, and hath burnt up the sheep, and the servants, 
and consumed them ; and I only am escaped alone to 
tell thee. 

17 While he was yet speaking, there came also 
another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three 
bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried 
them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge 
of the sword ; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 

18 While he was yet speaking, there came also 
another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were 
eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's 
house : 

1 9 And, behold, there came m a great wind from 
the wilderness, and t smote the four corners of the

20 n Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and

p worshipped, 

21 And said, q Naked came I out of my mother's 
womb, and naked shall I return thither : the Lord 
r gave, and the Lord hath 3 taken away ; * blessed be

22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God 
foolishly. 

CHAP. II. 
Satan obtaineth further leave to tempt Job. 

GAIN there was a day when the sons of God 
came to a present themselves before the Lord, 
and Satan came also among them to present himself 
before the Lord. 

2 And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence 
comest thou ? And Satan answered the Lord, and 
said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from 
b walking up and down in it. 

3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou con- 
sidered my servant Job, that there is none like him 
in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that 
feareth God, and escheweth evil ? and still he c hold- 
eth fast his integrity, although d thou movedst me 
against him, to destroy him e without cause. 

4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin 
for skin ; yea, f all that a man hath will he give for 
his life : 

5 But put forth thy hand now, and touch his E bone 
and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. 

6 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in 
thy hand ; but '' save his life. 

7 IT So went Satan forth from the presence of the 
Lord, and smote Job with ' sore boils, from the k sole 
of his foot unto his crown. 

8 And he took him ' a potsherd to scrape himself 
withal ; and he m sat down among n the ashes. 

9 Then said ° his wife unto him, Dost thou p still 
retain thine integrity ? Curse God, and die. 

1 But he said q unto her, Thou speakest as one of 
the r foolish women speaketh. What! shall we re- 
ceive 3 good at the hand of God, and shall we not 
receive l evil ? In all tliis did not Job sin with his u lips. 

1 1 II Now when Job's x three friends heard of all 
this evil that was come upon him, they came every 
one from his own y place ; Eliphaz the z Temanite, 
and Bildad the a Shuhite, and Zophar the b Naamath- 
ite : for they had made an appointment together to 
come to mourn with him, and to c comfort him. 

1 2 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and 
d knew him not, they lifted up their voice and wept ; 
and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust 
upon their heads toward heaven. 

1 3 So they sat down with him upon the ground 
seven days and seven nights, and e none spake a word 
unto him : for they saw that f his grief was very great. 

CHAP. III.

2 And Job spake, and said, 

3 Let c the day perish wherein I was born, and 
the night in which it was said, There is a man child 
conceived. 

4 Let that day be d darkness ; let not God e regard 
it from above, neither let r the light shine upon it.

ALL now, if there be any that will a answer thee ; 
and to which of the saints wilt thou b turn ? 

2 For c wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy 
slayeth the silly one. 

3 I have seen the d foolish taking root : but e sud- 
denly I cursed his habitation. 

4 His children are f far from safety, and they are 
crushed in the gate, neither is there any s to deliver them. 

5 Whose harvest the h hungry eateth up, and taketh 
it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth 
up their substance. 

6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the ' dust, 
neither doth trouble'spring out of the ground, 

7 Yet man is k born unto trouble, as the sparks fly 
upward. 

8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I 
commit my cause ; 

9 Which ' doeth great things and unsearchable ; 
marvellous things without number : 

1 Who giveth m rain upon the earth, and sendeth 
waters upon the fields : 

1 1 To n set up on high those that be low ; that those 
which mourn may be ° exalted to safety. 

12 He disappointeth the p devices of the crafty, so 
that their hands q cannot perform their enterprise. 

1 3 He taketh the wise in their r own craftiness ; 
and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. 

1 4 They meet with s darkness in the day-time, and 
grope in the noon-day as in the night. 

1 5 But he l saveth the poor from the sword, from 
their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 

1 6 So the poor hath hope, and u iniquity stoppeth 
her mouth. 

1 7 Behold, x happy is the man whom God correct- 
ed! ; theiefore despise not thou the chastening of the 
Almighty : 

1 8 For he maketh sore, and y bindeth up ; he 
w'oundeth, and his hands make whole.

Job sheweth that his complaints are not causeless. 

BUT Job answered and said, 
2 Oh that my a grief were thoroughly b weighed, 
and my calamity laid in the balances together ! 

3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the 
sea : therefore my words are c swallowed up. 

4 For the d arrows of the Almighty are within me, 
the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit : the terrors 
of God do e set themselves in array against me. 

5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath 
loweth the ox over his fodder ? 

6 Can that which is g unsavoury be eaten without 
salt ? or is there any taste in the white of an egg ? 

7 The things that my soul h refused to touch are as 
my ' sorrowful meat. 

8 Oh that I might have my request ; and that God 
would grant me the thing that k I long for ; 

9 Even that it would please God to ' destroy me ; 
that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off! 

10 Then should I yet have comfort ; yea, I would 
harden myself in sorrow : let him not spare ; for I 
have not m concealed the words of the Holy One. 

1 1 What is my strength, that I should n hope ? and 
what is mine end, that I should prolong my life 1 

12 Is my strength ° the strength of si ones ? or is my 
flesh of brass ? 

1 3 Is not p my help in me ? and is wisdom driven 
quite from me ? 

14 To him that is afflicted q pity should^ be shewed 
from his friend ; but he forsaketh the fear of the 
Almighty. 

15 My brethren have r dealt deceitfully as a brook, 
and as the stream of brooks they pass away ; 

1 6 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and 
wherein the snow is hid : 

1 7 What time they wax warm they vanish : when 
it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me

1 1 Therefore I will not q refrain my mouth ; I will

12 r Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou 3 settest a

Bildad sheweth God's justice in dealing with men 

THEN answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 
2 a How long wilt thou speak b these things ? 
and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a 
strong wind ? 

3 Doth God c pervert judgment ? or doth the Al- 
mighty pervert justice ? 

4 If thy (1 children have sinned e against him, and 
he have cast them away for their transgression ; 

5 If thou wouldest f seek unto God betimes, and fch; 22, 23. 
make thy supplication to the Almighty ; 

6 If thou wert g pure and upright ; surely now he g isa. 1, 15. 
would awake for thee, and make the habitation of ) J'" 1, ?■ ?• 
thy righteousness prosperous. 

7 Though thy ''beginning was small, yet thy latter 
end should greatly increase. 

8 For ' inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and 
prepare thyself to the search of their fathers : 

9 (For we are but o/"yesterday, and k know nothing, 
because our days upon earth are a shadow :) 

1 Shall not they ' teach thee, and tell thee, and

1 1 Can the rush grow up without mire ? can the 
flag grow without water? 

1 2 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut 
down, it withereth before any other herb. 

1 3 So are the paths of all that m forget God ; and 
the n hypocrite's hope shall perish : 

1 4 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust 
shall be ° a spider's web. 

15 He shall p lean upon his house, but it shall not 
stand : he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure. 

16 He is q green before the sun, and his

neither will he help the evil-doers;

3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer 
him c one of a thousand. 

4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength : who 
hath d hardened himself against him, and hath pros- 
pered ? 

5 Which e removeth the mountains, and they know

Judge. 

16 If I q had called, and he had answered me : 
yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto 
my voice. 

1 7 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multi- 
plieth my wounds r without cause. 

1 8 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but 
filleth me with ? bitterness. 

1 9 If / speak of strength, lo, he is * strong : and if 
of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead? 

20 If I "justify myself, mine own mouth shall con- 
demn me : if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove 
me perverse. 

21 Though 1 were perfect, yet would I x not know 
my soul : I would despise my life. 

22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He de- 
stroyed the y perfect and the wicked. 

23 If the scourge z slay suddenly, he will laugh at 
the trial of the innocent. 

24 The earth a is given into the hand of the wicked : 
he covereth the faces of the judges thereof ; if not, 
where, and who is he ? 

25 Now my days are swifter than a post : they flee 
b John 7, 7. away, they b see no good. 

26 They are passed away as the swift ships ; as 
the c eagle that hasteth to the prey. 

27 If I say, I will forget my d complaint, 1 will 
leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself ; 

28 I am e afraid of all my sorrows, I know that 
thou wilt not hold me innocent. 

29 If I be wicked, why then labour I f in vain ? 

30 If I e wash myself with snow water, and make 
my hands never so clean ; 

31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the h ditch, and 
mine own clothes shall abhor me. 

32 For he is not a ' man, as I am, that I should 
answer him, and we should come together in judg- 
ment. 

33 Neither is there any k days-man betwixt us, 
that might lay his hand upon us both. 

34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let 
not his ' fear terrify me ; 

35 m Then would I speak, and not fear him : but n it 
is not so with me.

Job exposlulaieth with God about his afflictions. 
Y soul is a weary of my life : I will leave my

Job acknowledged God's omntpotency, 

1 1 For he knoweth ! vain men : he seeth wicked- 
ness also : will he not then consider it? 

1 2 For vain man would k be wise, though man be 
born like a wild ass's colt. 

13 If thou ' prepare thy heart, and stretch out thy 
hands toward him ; 

14 If iniquity be in m thy hand, put it far away, 
and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. 

15 For then shalt thou " lift up thy face without 
spot ; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear : 

16 Because thou shalt ° forget thy misery, and 
remember it as waters that pass away : 

17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noon- 
day ; thou shalt p shine forth, thou shalt be as the 
morning. 

1 8 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope ; 
yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take q thy 
rest in safety. 

1 9 Also thou shalt r lie down, and none shall make 
thee afraid ; yea, many shall make suit unto thee. 

20 But the s eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they 
shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving 
up of the ghost.

Job maintaineth himself against his friends. 

ND Job answered and said, 

2 No doubt but ye are a the people, and wis- 
dom shall die b with you. 

3 But I have understanding as well as you ; I am 
not c inferior to you : yea, who knoweth not snch 
things as these ? 

4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who d call- 
eth upon God, and he answereth him : the just upright 
man is laughed to scorn. 

5 He that is ready e to slip with his feet is as a lamp 
despised in the thought of him that is at ease. 

6 The tabernacles of robbers f prosper, and they 
that provoke God are secure ; into whose hand God 
bringeth abundantly. 

7 But g ask now the beasts, and they shall teach 
thee ; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell 
thee : 

8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee ; 
and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. 

9 Who knoweth not in all these, that the h hand of 
the Lord hath wrought this ? 

10 In whose ' hand is the soul of every living thing, 
and the breath of all mankind. 

1 1 Doth not the k ear try words ? and the mouth 
taste his meat? 

12 With the ' ancient is wisdom ; and in length of 
days understanding. 

1 3 With him is m wisdom and strength, he hath 
counsel and understanding. 

14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be 
n built again ; he shutteth up a man, and there can be 
no opening. 

15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they 
dry up ; also he ° sendeth them out, and they overturn 
the earth. 

1 6 With him is p strength and wisdom : the deceived 
and the deceiver are his. 

1 7 He • leadeth counsellors q away spoiled, and 
maketh the judges fools. 

1 8 He r looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their 
loins with a girdle. 

1 9 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and 8 over- 
throweth the mighty.

Job reproveth his friends of partiality. 

O, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath 
heard and understood it. 

2 What ye know, the same a do I know also : I am 
not inferior unto you. 

3 Surely I would b speak to the Almighty, and I b Gen. 20, 5. 
desire to reason with God. 

4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of 
c no value. 

5 Oh that you would altogether hold your peace ! 
and it should be d your wisdom. 

6 e Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the 
pleadings of my lips. 

7 Will you speak wickedly f for God ? and talk 
deceitfully for him ? 

8 Will ye E accept his person ? will ye contend for g John 16, 
God ? 2 - 

9 Is it good that he should search you out ? or, as 

one man h mocketh another, do ye so mock him ? « 1 Sam. is, 

1 He will surely ' reprove you, if ye do secretly gj, 6i 7 
accept persons. i ch. 42, 7. 

1 1 Shall not his excellency make you afraid ? and 

his k dread fall upon you ? k ch. 9, 34. 

1 2 Your remembrances are like unto ' ashes, your 1 Prov. 10, 
bodies to bodies of clay. 7 

13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may 
speak, and m let come on me what will. 

1 4 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and 
put my life n in my hand ? 

15 Though he slay me, ° yet will I trust in him : 
but I will maintain mine own ways before him. 

16 He also shall be my salvation : for a hypocrite 
shall p not come before him. 

1 7 1 Hear diligently my speech and my declaration 
wilh your ears. 

18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause ; r I know r Rom. 8,28. 
that I shall be justified. 

19 Who is he s that will plead with me? for now, sKom.8,33. 
if I l hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost. 

20 Only do not u two things unto me ; then will I 
not hide myself from thee. 

21 Withdraw x thy hand far from me; and let xP».32, 4. 
not thy dread make me afraid : 

22 Then y call thou, and I will answer; x or let 
me speak, and answer thou me. 

23 a How many are mine iniquities and sins ! make a p* 19, 12

me for thine enemy ?

and 



The condition of man's life. 

27 Thou puttest e my feet also in the stocks 
lookest narrowly unto all my paths ; thou settest a 
print upon the heels of my feet. 

28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a gar- 
ment that is f moth-eaten. 

CHAP. XIV. 

Job entreatcth God for favour, by the shortness of life. 

MAN that is born of a woman is of a few days, 
and full of trouble. 

2 He cometh forth like a flower, b and is cut down : 
he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 

3 And dost thou c open thine eyes upon such a 
one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? 

4 Who can bring a clean thing out of '' an unclean? 
not one. 

5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of 
his months are with thee ; thou hast appointed his 
e bounds that he cannot pass : 

6 Turn from him that he f may rest, till he shall 
accomplish, as a hireling, his day. 

7 For there is g hope of a tree, if it be cut down, 
that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch 
thereof will not cease. 

8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, 
and the stock thereof h die in the ground ; 

9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and 
bring forth boughs like a plant. 

10 But man dieth, and wasteth away; yea, man 
giveth up the ghost, and ' where is he ? 

1 1 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood 
decayeth and drieth up ; 

1 2 So man k lieth down, and riseth not : till the 
heavens be ' no more, they shall not awake, nor be 
raised out of their sleep. 

1 3 Oh that thou wouldest hide me in the grave 
that thou wouldest keep me m secret until thy wrath 
be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time 
and remember me ! 

1 4 If a man die, shall he n live again ? All the days 
of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come 

1 5 Thou shalt ° call ; and I will answer thee : thou 
wilt have a desire to the work of thy hands. 

1 6 For now thou p numberest my steps ; dost thou 
not watch over my sin ? 

1 7 My transgression is q sealed up in a bag, and 
thou sewest up mine iniquity. 

1 8 And surely the mountain falling r cometh to 
nought, and the rock is removed out of his place. 

1 9 The waters wear the stones : thou washest 
away the things which grow out of the dust of the 
earth ; and thou destroyest the s hope of man. 

20 Thou l prevailest for ever against him ; and he 
passeth : thou changest his countenance, and sendest 
him away. 

21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it 
not ; and they are brought low, but he u perceiveth it 
not of them. 

22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his 
soul within him shall x mourn.

6 The light shall be f dark in his tabernacle, and { o 2 fin

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and

JoVs complaint of misery. 

3 These ten times have ye c reproached me : you are 
not ashamed that you make yourselves strange to me. 

4 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error 
l1 remaineth with myseJf. 

5 If indeed ye will e magnify yourselves against me, 
and plead against me my reproach ; 

6 Know now that f God hath overthrown me, and 
hath compassed me with his net. 

7 Behold, I cry out of g wrong, but I am h not heard : 
I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 

8 He hath ' fenced up my way that I cannot pass, 
and he hath set darkness in my.-paths. 

9 He hath stripped me of k my glory, and taken 
the crown from my;head. 

10 He hath destroyed m©Jon every side, and 1 am 
gone : and my ' hope hath he removed like a tree. 

1 1 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and 
he counte.th me unto him as one of m his enemies. 

1 2 His troops come n together, and raise up their way 
against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. 

1 3 He hath put my brethren ° far from me, and mine 
acquaintance are verily estranged from me. 

1 4 My kinsfolk have failed, and my >' familiar friends 
have forgotten me. 

15 They that dwell in my house, and my q maids, 
count me for a stranger : T am an alien in their sight. 

16 I called my r servant, and he gave me no answer : 
I entreated him with my mouth. 

1 7 My 8 breath is strange to my wife, though I en- 
treated for the children's sake of mine own body. 

1 8 Yea, * young children despised me ; I arose, and 
they spake against me. 

1 9 All my u inward friends abhorred me : and they 
whom I loved are turned against me. 

20 x My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, 
and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. 

21 Have pity upon me, have y pity upon me, O ye 
my friends ; for the hand of God hath touched me. 

22 Why do ye persecute me z as God, and are not 
satisfied with my flesh ? 

23 Oh that my words were now written ! oh that 
they were printed in a book ! 

24 That they were graven with an iron pen and 
lead in the rock for ever ! 

25 For a I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that 
he shall b stand at the latter day upon the earth : 

26 And though, after my skin, worms destroy this 

a m 3 22°' * ofl ^' y et * n ° m y ^ esn s ^ a ^ ^ see ^ : 

3 a 27 Whom I shall see a for myself j and mine eyes 

shall behold, and not another ; though my reins be 
consumed within me. 

28 But ye should say, Why e persecute we him ? 
seeing the root of the matter is found in me. 

29 Be ye afraid of the sword : for wrath bringeth 
the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there 

fEoci. 11,9. is f a judgment.

7 f Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, 
yea, are E mighty in power ? 

8 Their h seed is established in their sight with 
them, and their offspring before their eyes. 

9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the 
5 rod of God upon them. 

10 Their bull gendereth, and k faileth not ; their 
cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. 

1 1 They send forth their little ones like ' a flock,

12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at 
the sound of the organ. 

1 3 They spend their days in wealth, and m in a 
moment go down to the grave. 

14 Therefore they say unto God, n Depart from us ; 
for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. 

1 5 ° What is the Almighty, that we should serve

unto him 1 

16 Lo, p their good is not in their hand : the coun-

1 7 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out ? 
and how oft cometh their destruction upon them ? 
God q distributed sorrows in his anger. 

1 8 They are as r stubble before the wind, and as 
chaff that the storm carrieth away. 

19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children : a he 
rewardeth him, and he shall know it. 

20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall 
1 drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 

21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after 
him, when the number of his months is u cut off in

22 Shall any x teach God knowledge ? seeing he

answer 
unto me. 

6 Will he plead against me with his great power ? 
e no ; but he would put strength in me. 

7 f There the righteous might dispute with him ; 
so should I be delivered for ever from my g jivdge. 

8 Behold, 1 go forward, h but he is not there ; and 
backward, but I cannot ' perceive him : 

9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I can- 
not behold him : he k hideth himself on the right hand, 
that I cannot see him, : 

10 But he knoweth the way that I take : ichen he 
hath ' tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 

1 1 My foot hath held his steps : his way have I 
kept, and m not declined. 

1 2 Neither have I gone back from the command- 
ment of his lips ; I have esteemed the words of his 
mouth " more than my necessary food. 

1 3 But he is in one mind, and ° who can turn him ? 
and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. 

14 For he performeth the thing that is p appointed 
for me : and many such things are with him. 

1 5 Therefore am I q troubled at his presence ; when 
I consider, I am afraid of him. 

16 For God maketh my heart 'soft, and the Al- 
mighty troubleth me : 

17 Because T was not cut off 3 before the darkness, 
neither hath he covered the darkness from my face. 

CHAP. XXIV. 

1 Wickedness goeth often unpunished. 17 There is a secret 
judgment for the wicked. 
HY, seeing a times are not hidden from the 
Almighty, do they that know him not see his 
days ? 

2 Some b remove the land-marks ; they violently 
take away flocks, and feed thereof; 

3 They drive away c the ass of the fatherless ; they 
take the widow's ox for a pledge ; 

4 They turn the needy out of the way : the d poor 
of the earth hide themselves together. 

5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth 
to their work, e rising betimes for a prey : the wilder- 
ness yieldeth food for them and for their children. 

6 They reap every one his f corn in the field, and 
they gather the vintage of the wicked ; 

7 They cause the s naked to lodge without clothing, 
that they have no covering in the cold ; 

8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, 
and embrace the h rock for want of a shelter ; 

9 They ' pluck the fatherless from the breast, and 
take a pledge of the poor ; 

10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, 
and they take away the k sheaf from the hungry ; 

11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread 
their wine-presses, and ' suffer thirst. 

1 2 Men groan from out of the citv, and the soul of 
the wounded crieth out ; m yet God layeth not folly to 
them. 

1 3 They are of those that D rebel against the light ; 
they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the path? 
thereof. 

14 The murderer, rising with the light, killeth the 
poor and needy, and ° in the night is as a thief. 

1 5 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the 
twilight, saying, No eye p shall see me ; and disguiseth 
his face. 

16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they

had marked for themselves in the day-time : q they 
know not the light. 

1 7 For the morning is to them even as the T shadow

of death : if one know them, they are in the terrors of ^Gen. 3, l\ 
the shadow' of death. 

1 8 He is swift as the waters ; their portion is cursed 
in the earth: s he beholdeth not the way of the 
vineyards. 

19 Drought and heat consume the snow-waters; 
so doth the * grave those which have sinned. 

20 The womb shall forget him ; the worm shall 
feed sweetly on him : he shall be u no more remem- 
bered ; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. 

21 He evil entreateth the x barren that beareth not, 
and doeth not good to the w T idow. 

22 He y draweth also the mighty with his power : 
he riscth up, and no man is sure of life. 

23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon 
he resteth ; yet z his eyes are upon their ways. 

24 They are exalted for a a little while,, but are 
gone and brought low ; they are taken out of the way 
as all other, and cut off as the b tops of the ears of corn. 

25 And if it be c not so now, who will make me a ^qot'T 
liar, and make my speech nothing worth ? 

CHAP. XXV. 

Bildad sheweth that man cannot be justified before God.

8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds ; 
and the cloud is E not rent under them. 

9 He holdeth back the face of his h throne,

10 He hath compassed the waters with k bounds,

12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his

Tlie hypocrite is wilnout nope. CHAP. XX VII, 

CHAP. XXVII. 

The blessings which the wicked have are turned into curses. 

OREOVER, a Job continued his parable, and 
said, 

2 As God liveth, who hath b taken away my judg- 
ment : and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul ; 

3 All the while my breath is in me, and the c spirit 
of God is in my nostrils, 

4 My lips shall not speak d wickedness, nor my 
tongue utter deceit. 

5 God forbid that I should e justify you : till I die I 
will r not remove mine integrity from me. 

6 My righteousness g I hold fast, and will not let it 
go : h my heart shall not reproach me so long as I 
five. 

7 ' Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that 
riseth up against me as the unrighteous. 

8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he 
hath gained, when God k taketh away his soul ? 

9 Will God hear his cry when ' trouble cometh 
upon him? 

1 Will he delight himself in the Almighty ? will 
he m always call upon God ? 

11 "I will teach you by the hand of God : that 
which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. 

12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why 
then are ye thus altogether ° vain ? 

1 3 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, 
and the heritage of p oppressors, which they shall 
receive of the Almighty. 

1 4 If his children be multiplied, it is for the q sword ; 
and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 

1 5 Those that remain of him shall be r buried in 
death ; and his widows shall 3 not weep. 

1 6 Though he ' heap up silver as the dust, and pre- 
Luke 12, is, p are ra i mcn t as the clay ; 

u prov. 28, 1 7 He may prepare it, but u the just shall put it on, 
8 ' and the innocent shall divide the silver, 

x Mat. 7, 27. 1 8 He buildeth his house x as a moth, and as a booth 
that the keeper maketh. 

1 9 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall y not 
be gathered : z he openeth his eyes, and he is not. 

20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest 
Ei.i2,29. stealeth him away "in the night. 

21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he de- 
parteth ; and, as a storm, "hurleth him out of his place. 

22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare : he 
would fain c flee out of his hand. 

23 Men shall d clap their hands at him, and shall 
hiss him out of his place. 

CHAP. XXVUI. 

There is a knowledge of natural things. 

SURELY there is a vein for the silver, and a place 
for gold where they a fine it. 

2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and b brass is molten 
out of the stone. 

3 He setteth c an end to darkness, and searcheth 
out all d perfection : the stones of darkness, and the 
shadow of death. 

4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant ; even 
the waters forgotten of the foot : they are dried up, 
they are gone away from men.

XXVIII, XXIX. Wisdom the gift of God. 

8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the Before 
fierce lion passed by it. 

9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock ; he 
overturneth the mountains by the roots. 

10 He h cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and 
his eye ' seeth every precious thing. 

11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and Phil. 1/9 
the thing that is k hid bringeth he forth to light. J°p g 1]9 

12 But ! where shall wisdom be found 1 and where 14. 

is the m place of understanding? FiT' * i'i 1 ' 

1 3 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is 33. 

it found in the u land of the living. m C r«li U ' 

14 The ° depth saith, It is not in me : and the sea 3, 9. 
saith, It is not with me. James *■ 5 - 

1 5 It cannot be gotten for p gold, neither shall silver „ p s . 25, 9. 
be weighed for the price thereof. John n, is. 

16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with 33. om ' * ' 
the precious q onyx, or the sapphire. p Pr. 4, 13. 

17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and qEx. 23,2a. 
the exchange of it shall not be for ""jewels of fine gold, r Prov. 25, 

1 8 No mention shall be made of coral, or of s pearls : ^ t 13 
for the price of wisdom is above rubies. 44. 

1 9 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither 
shall it be valued with pure gold. 

20 Whence then cometh wisdom ? and where is 
the place of understanding ? 

21 Seeing it is * hid from the eyes of all living, and 
kept close from the fowls of the air. 

22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the 
fame thereof with our ears. 

23 u God understandeth the way thereof, and he uMat. 11, 
knoweth the place thereof. 27 - 

24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and 
x seeth under the whole heaven ; 

25 To make the y weight for the winds ; and he 
weigheth the waters by measure. 

26 When he made z a decree for the rain, and a way 
for the lightning of the thunder ; 

27 Then did he see it, and a declare it ; he prepared 
it, yea, and searched it out. 

28 And b unto man he said, Behold, the c fear of 29. 
the Lord, that is wisdom ; and to depart from evil is j p "- in > 
understanding. p r o V 1 7

OREOVER, Job a continued his parable 
said, 

2 Oh that I were as in b months past, as in the 
days when God preserved me ; 

3 When his candle shined upon my head, and when 
by his light I walked through c darkness ; 

4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the 
d secret of God was upon my tabernacle ; 

5 When the Almighty was yet e with me, when my e Judg. c, 
children were about me ; 12 ' 

6 When I r washed my steps with butter, and g the fjSen. 49. 
rock poured me out rivers of oil ; 

7 When I h went out to the gate, through the city, h' ; 
when I prepared my seat in the street ; 

8 The young men saw me, and ' hid themselves : 
and the aged arose, and stood up. 

9 The princes k refrained talking, and ' laid their 
hand on their mouth.

Job bemoanetk his prosperity JOB. 

1 2 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the 
fatherless, and him that had ° none to help him. 

13 p The blessing of him that q was ready to perish 
came upon me : and I caused the widow's heart to 
sing for joy. 

14 r I put on righteousness, and it clothed me : my 
judgment was as a robe and a diadem. 

1 5 I was s eyes to the blind, and * feet was I to the 
lame. 

16 I was a father to the poor : and the cause which 
I knew not u I searched out. 

17 And I brake the x jaws of the wicked, and 
y plucked the spoil out of his teeth. 

1 8 Then z I said, I shall die in my a nest, and I 
shall multiply my days as the sand. 

1 9 My root was spread out b by the waters, and the 
dew lay all night upon my branch. 

20 My c glory was fresh in me, and my bow was 
d renewed in my hand. 

21 Unto me men gave ear, and e waited, and kept 
silence at f my counsel. 

22 s After my words they spake not again ; and my 
speech dropped upon them. 

23 And they waited for me b as for the rain ; and 
they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain. 

24 If I ' laughed on them, they k believed it not ; 
and the light of my countenance they cast not down. 

25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt 
as a king in the army, as one that comforted) the 
mourners. 

CHAP. XXX. 

JoVs honour is turned into extreme contempt. 

BUT now they that are younger than I a have me 
in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained 
to have set with the dogs of my flock. 

2 Yea, whereto might the b strength of their hands 
profit me, in whom old age was perished ? 

3 For c want and famine they were d solitary ; fleeing 
into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste : 

4 Who cut up e mallows by the bushes, and juni- 
per-roots for their f meat. 

5 They were g driven forth from among men, (they 
cried after them as after a thief,) 

6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of 
the earth, and in the rocks. 

7 Among the bushes they h brayed ; under the 
nettles they were gathered together. 

8 They were childre i of fools, yea, children of base 
men •, they were viler than the earth. 

9 And now am I their ' song ; yea, I am their by- 
word. 

1 They abhor me, they k flee far from me, and 
spare not to l spit in my face. 

1 1 Because he hath loosed my cord, and m afflicted 
me, they have also let loose the bridle before me. 

1 2 Upon my E right hand rise the youth ; they push 
away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways 
of their destruction. 

1 3 They ° mar my path, they p set forward my 
calamity, they have q no helper. 

14 They r came upon me as a wide breaking-in 
of waters : in the desolation they rolled themselves 
upon me. 

1 5 B Terrors are turned upon me : they pursue my 
soul as the wind ; and my welfare passeth away as a 
cloud. 

1 6 And now my soul is * poured out upon me : the 
days of affliction have taken hold upon ine.

Elihu is angry with Job and his three friends. 

SO these three men a ceased to answer Job, because 
he was b righteous in his own eyes. 

2 Then was c kindled the wrath of Elihu, the son 
of Barachel the d Buzite, of the kindred of Ram ; 
against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justi- 
fied e himself rather than God. 

3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kin- 
dled, because they had found no answer, and yet had 
f condemned Job. 

4 Psiow Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, 
because they were E elder than he. 

5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the 
mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. 

6 And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, an- 
swered and said, I am young, and ye are very old ; 
wherefore I was h afraid, and durst not shew you

1 7 That he may z withdraw man from his purpose, 
and hide H pride from man. 

1 8 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his 
life from b perishing by the sword. 

1 9 He is c chastened also with pain upon his bed, 
and the multitude of his bones with strong pain : 

20 So that his life d abhorreth bread, and his soul 
dainty meat. 

21 His flesh is e consumed away, that it cannot be 
seen ; and his bones that were not seen f stick out. 

22 His soul draweth near unto the grave, and his 
life to the g destroyers. 

23 If there be h a messenger with him, an ' inter- 
preter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his 
k uprightness ; 

24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver 
him from going down to the pit ; I have found a ransom. 

25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's : he shall 
return ' to the days of his youth : 

26 He shall m pray unto God, and he will be fa- 
vourable unto him ; and he shall u see his face with 
joy : for he will render unto man his righteousness. 

27 He looketh upon men ; and if any say, ° I have 
sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it 
p profited me not ; 

28 He will deliver his soul from going into the q pit, 
and his life shall see the light. 

29 Lo, all these things worketh God t oftentimes 
with man. 

30 r To bring back his soul from the pit, to be 
enlightened with the light of the living. 

31 Mark well, O Job ; hearken unto me : hold thy 
peace, and I will speak. 

32 If thou hast . any thing to say, s answer me : 
speak ; for 1 desire to justify thee. 

33 If not, * hearken unto me : hold thy peace, and 
I shall teach thee u wisdom. 

CHAP. XXXIV. 

1 Elihu accuseth Job for charging God with injustice. 10 
God omnipotent cannot be unjust. 31 Man must humble 
himself unto God. 34 Elihu reproveth Job. 

URTHERMORE, Elihu answered and said, 
2 Hear my words, O a ye wise men ; and give 
ear b unto me, ye that have knowledge : 

3 For the c ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth 
meat. 

4 Let us choose to us judgment : let us know 
among ourselves what is d good. 

5 For Job hath e said, I am righteous : and God 
hath taken away my j udgment. 

6 Should r I lie against my right ? my wound is 
incurable g without transgression. 

7 What man is h like Job, who drinketh up scorning 

I like water ; 

8 Which k goeth in company with the workers of 
iniquity, and walketh with wicked men ? 

9 For he hath 1 said. It profiteth a man m nothing 
that he should delight himself with God. 

10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of under- 
standing: Far be it from God, that he should do 

II wickedness ; and from the Almighty, that he should 
commit iniquity. 

1 1 For t lie work of a man shall he ° render unto him, 
and canst! every man to p find according to his ways. 

1 2 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither 
will the Almighty ^ pervert judgment. 

1 3 Who hadi r givn him a charge over the earth ? . 
or who hath 3 disposed the whole world ? II 



and reproveth hitn. 
1 gather unto 




14 If he set his heart upon man, if he 
himself his spirit and his breath ; 

1 5 All flesh shall perish together, and man si 
turn again unto u dust. 

16 If now thou hast x understanding, hear this 
hearken to the voice of my words : 

17 Shall even he that hateth right y govern? and y 2 Sam. 23, 
wilt thou condemn him that is most just 1 3 - 

1 8 Is it ft to say to a king, Thou art z wicked ? and z Exod. 22, 
to princes, Ye are ungodly ? 28 - 

19 How much less to him that a accepteth not the a Rom. 2, 
persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than n - 
the poor ? for they all are the work of his hands. 

20 b In a moment shall they die, and the people bRev.ia.s. 
shall be troubled c at midnight, and pass away: and c Ex. 12,29. 
the mighty shall be taken away d without hand. d Dan. 2, 45. 

21 For e his eyes are upon the ways of man, and e2Chr. ie, 
he seeth all his goings. 9 - 

22 There is f no darkness, nor shadow of death, fPs.139,12. 
where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. 

23 For he will not lay upon man g more than right, 
that he should enter into judgment with God. 

24 He shall h break in pieces mighty men without 
number, and ' set others in their stead. 

25 Therefore he k knoweth their works, and he 
overturneth them in the night, so that they are l de- 
stroyed. 

26 He striketh them as wicked men in the m open mp s .58,io. 
sight cf others ; 

27 Because they n turned back from him, and would 
not consider any of his ways : 

28 So that they cause the ° cry of the poor to come o Jam. 5, 4 
unto him, and p he heareth the cry of the afflicted. p Psalm 12, 

29 When he giveth q quietness, who then can make q 2 Sam. 7, 
trouble ? and when he hideth his face, who then can 
behold him ? whether it be done against a nation, or 
against a man only : 

30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be 
r ensnared. 

31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have 
3 borne chastisement, I will l not offend any more, : 

32 That which u I see not, teach thou me : if I have f^&\ 
done iniquity, I will do x no more. u 1 Cor.' is, 

33 Should it be according to thy mind ? he will re- -£ 2 clu 
compense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou 
choose ; and not I : therefore speak what thou knowest. 

34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a 
wise man hearken unto me. 

35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his 
words were without wisdom. 

36 [| My desire is, that Job may be tried unto the 
end, because of his answers for wicked men. 

37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin ; he y clap- 
peth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words A ^ h 3 ^ n s 
against God. & 27, 23.

or if ihy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou 
unto him ? 

7 If thou be righteous, what h givest thou him ? or 
what ' receiveth he of thy hand ? 

8 Thy wickedness may k hurt a man as thou art, 
and thy righteousness may ' profit the son of man. 

9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they 
make "the oppressed to m cry ; they cry out by reason 
of the arm of the mighty : 

10 But none saith, Where is God my t Maker, who 
giveth n songs in the night ; 

1 1 Who ° teacheth us more than the beasts of the 
earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven ? 

12 There they cry, but p none giveth answer, 
because of the pride of evil men. 

13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will 
the Almighty q regard it. 

14 Although thou sayest thou shalt r not see him, 
yet s judgment is before him ; therefore trust thou in 
him. 

1 5 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited 
in his anger ; yet he knovveth it l not in great ex-

1 6 Therefore doth Job open his mouth u in vain : 
he multiplieth words without knowledge. 

CHAP. XXXVI. 

Elihu sheweth how God is just in his ways. 

ELIHU also proceeded, and said, 
2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that 
I have yet to speak on a God's behalf. 

3 I will fetch my knowledge from b afar, and will 
c ascribe righteousness to my Maker. 

4 For truly my words shall not be d false : he that 
is perfect in knowledge is e with thee... 

5 Behold, God is mighty, f and despiseth not any : 
he is mighty in strength and wisdom. 

6 He s preserveth not the life of the wicked : but 
giveth h right to the poor. 

7 He withdraweth not ' his eyes from the righteous : 
but with kings are they on the k throne ; yea, he doth 
establish them for ever, and they are exalted. 

8 And if thnj be bound in ' fetters, and be holden 
in cords of affliction ; 

9 Then he sheweth them their m work, and their 
transgressions that they have exceeded. 

10 He " openeth also their ear to discipline, and 
commandeth that they return from iniquity. 

1 1 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend 
their days in ° prosperity, and their years in pleasures : 

12 But if they obey not, they shall p perish by the 
sword, and they shall die without knowledge. 

13 But the q hypocrites in heart r heap up wrath ; 
they ciy not when he bindeth them : 

14 They 3 die in youth, and their life is among the 
1 unclean. 

15 He delivereth the "poor in his affliction, and 
openeth their ears in oppression : 

16 Even so would he have removed thee out of the 
strait into x a broad place, where there is no slraitncssj 
and that which should be set on thy table sh idd be 
y full of fatness. 

17 But thou hast z fulfilled the judgment of the 
wicked : judgment and justice a take hold on thee. 

18 Because there is wrath, ben-are lest he take thee 
away with his stroke : then a h great ransom cannot 
deliver thee. 

1 9 Will he esteem thy c riches ? no, not gold, nor 
all the forces of strength.

thou chosen f rather than affliction. 

22 Behold, God exalteth by his power : who g teach- 
eth like him ? 

23 Who hath h enjoined him his way ? or who can 
say, Thou hast ' wrought iniquity 1 

24 Remember that thou k magnify his work, which 
men behold. 

25 Every man may ' see it ; man may behold it 
afar off. 

26 Behold. God is great, and m we know him not ; 
neither can n the number of his years be searched 
out. 

27 For he maketh "small the drops of water : they 
pour down rain according to the vapour thereof, 

28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man 
p abundantly. 

29 Also can any understand the q spreadings of the 
clouds, or the r noise of his tabernacle ? 

30 Behold, he s spreadeth his light upon it, and 
covereth the bottom of the sea. 

31 For by them ' judgeth he the people ; he giveth 
u meat in abundance. 

32 With x clouds he covereth the light ; and com- 
manded! it not to shine, by the cloud that cometh 
betwixt. 

33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the 
cattle also concerning the vapour. 

CHAP. XXXVII. 

God is lo be /"eared because of his great works. 
T this also my heart a trembleth, and is moved 
m. out of his place. 

2 Hear attentively the b noise of his voice, and the 
sound that goeth out of his mouth. 

3 He c directeth it under the whole heaven, and his 
d lightning unto the ends of the earth. 

4 After it e a voice roareth : he thundereth with the 
voice of his excellency ; and he will not stay them 
when his voice is heard. 

5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice ; 
r great things doeth he, which we g cannot comprehend. 

6 For h he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth ; 
likewise to the small ' rain, and to the great rain of his 
strength. 

7 He k sealeth up the hand of every man, that all 
men ' may know his work. 

8 Then the beasts go into m dens, and remain in 
their places. 

9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind ; and cold 
out of the north. 

1 By the n breath of God frost is given •, and the 
breadth of the waters is straitened. 

11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud ; 
he scattereth ° his bright cloud, 

12 And it is turned round about by his p counsels; 
that they may do whatsoever he cornmandeth them 
upon the fare of the world in the earth. 

13 lie rauseth it to come, whether for q correction. 
WTor r his land, or for ! merry. 

14 Hearken unto this, O Job : 'stand still and " con- 
sider the wondrous works of God. 

15 Dost thou know when God "disposed diem, and 
caused the light of his (loud to shine ; 

16 Dost thou know the y bal i ingi of the clouds, 
the wondrous works of him which is perfect 'in know-

Job humbleth himself. 

14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warm-

1 5 And forgetteth that the foot may t crush them, 
or that the wild beast may break them. 

1 6 She is ° hardened against her young ones, as 
though they were not hers : her labour is in vain with- 
out fear ; 

17 Because God hath t deprived her of p wisdom, 
neither hath he imparted to her understanding. 

1 8 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she 
scorneth the horse and his rider. 

1 9 Hast thou given the horse q strength ? hast thou 
clothed his neck with r thunder ? 

20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper ? 
the glory of his nostrils is terrible. 

21 He s paweth in the valley, and * rejoiceth in

22 He t mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted ; 
neither turneth he back from the sword. 

23 The quiver rattleth against him, the u glittering 
spear and the shield. 

24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and 
rage ; neither believeth he that it is the sound of the 
trumpet. 

25 He saith among the trumpets, x Ha, ha ! and 
he y smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the 
captains, and the shouting. 

26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch 
her wings toward the south ? 

27 Doth the eagle z mount up at thy command, 
and make her a nest on high ? 

28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the 
t crag of the rock, and the strong place. 

29 From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes 
behold afar off. 

30 Her young ones also t suck up blood : and

OREOVER, the Lord answered Job, and said, 
2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty

4 Behold, b I am vile ; c what shall I answer thee? 
I will d lay my hand upon my mouth. 

5 Once have I spoken, but I will not answer ; yea, 
twice ; but 1 will proceed e no further. 

6 IT Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the 
f whirlwind, and said, 

7 6 Gird up thy loins now like a man : I will de- 
mand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 

8 Wilt thou also ''disannul my jndgment ? wilt 
thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? 

9 Hast thou ' an arm like God ? or canst thou 
k thunder with a voice like him ? 

10 ' Deck thyself now with majesty and excel- 
lency ; and array thyself with glory and beauty. 

11 Cast abroad the m rage of thy wrath ; anc 
hold every one that is n proud, and abase him. 

12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him 
° low ; and p tread down the wicked in their place. 

13 Hide them in the dust together, and '' bind their

1 5 His scales are his pride, shut up together as

16 One is so near to another, that no air can come 
between them. 

1 7 They are joined one to another, they stick to- 
gether, that they cannot be sundered. 

1 8 By hi.o neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes 
are like the eyelids of the morning. 

1 9 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks 
of fire leap out. 

20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a

21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth 
out of his mouth. 

22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is 
turned into joy before him. 

23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together : 
they are firm in themselves ; they cannot be moved.

3 1 He maketh the " deep to boil like a pot : he

E demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 

5 I have h heard of thee by the hearing of the ear ; 
but now ' mine eye seeth thee : 

6 Wherefore 1 abhor myself, k and repent in dust 
and ashes. 

7 IT And it was so, that, x after the Lord had spo- 
ken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz 
the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee,

God accepteth and blesseth him 

and against thy two friends : for ye have not spoken of 
me the thing that is m right, as n my servant Job 
hath. 

8 Therefore take unto you now ° seven bullocks 
and seven rams, and '' go to my servant Job, and 
offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering ; and my ser- 
vant Job shall q pray for you, for him will I accept; 
lest 1 deal with you after your folly, in that ye have 
not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my 
servant Job. 

9 1 So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Biklad the Shu- 
hite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went, and did 
according as the Lord commanded them : the Lord 
also accepted Job. 

10 And the Lord r turned the captivity of Job, rprov. 22.4. 
when he prayed for his friends : also the Lord gave 

Job twice as much as he had before. 

1 1 Then came there unto him s all his brethren, s ch. 19, 13. 
and all his sister's, and all they that had been of his fg 3 ^ 1 ^ 
acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in Prov. 14,-20. 
his house ; and they bemoaned him, and comforted 

him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon 
him : every man also gave him a piece of money, and 
every one an ear-ring of gold. 

12 So the Lord blessed Hhe latter end of Job 
more than his beginning : for he had fourteen thou- 
sand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand 
yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses. 

13 He had also seven sons, and three daughters. 

14 And he called the name of the first Jemima ; 
and the name of the second, Kezia ; and the name 
of the third, Keren-happuch. 

15 And in all the land were no women found so 
fair as the daughters of Job : and their father gave 
them inheritance among their brethren. 

16" After this lived Job a hundred and forty years, 
and saw his sons, and his x sons' sons, even four 
generations. 

1 7 So Job died, being old and y full of days.

PSALM I. 

1 The happiness of the godly. 4 The unhappiness of the ungodly. 
>LESSED is the man a that walketh not in b the 
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way 
of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful : 

2 But his c delight is in the law of the Lord ; and 
in his law doth he meditate day and night. 

3 And he shall be like a tree d planted by the rivers 
of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his e season : 
his leaf also shall not wither ; and whatsoever he 
doeth shall f prosper. 

4 The ungodly are < not so : but are like the h chaff 
which the wind driveth away. 

5 Therefore the ungodly shall { not stand in the 
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the right- 
eous. 

6 For the Lord k knoweth the way of the right- 
eous : but the way of the ungodly shall ' perish. 

PSALM II. 

1 The kingdom of Christ ; 10 Kings are exhorted to accept it. 
"HY do the heathen a rage, and the people ima- 
gine b a vain thing ? 
2 The c kings of the earth set themselves, and the 
rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and 
against his d Anointed, saying, 



3 Let us break their e bands asunder, and cast 
away their cords from us. 

4 He that f sitteth in the heavens shall laugh : the 
Lord shall have them in derision. 

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and 
£ vex them in his sore displeasure. 

6 Yet have I h set my king upon my holy hill of 
Zion. 

7 I will declare the j decree : the Lord hath said 
unto me, Thou art my Son ; this day have I begotten 
thee. 

8 k Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen 
for thine ' inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the 
earth for thy possession. 

9 Thou shalt m break them with a rod of iron; 
thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's 
vessel. 

10 n Be wise now, therefore, O ye kings; be in- 
structed, ye judges of the earth. 

1 1 ° Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with 
trembling. 

12 Kiss tho Son, lest he be p angry, and ye perish 
from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a 
little. Blessed are all they that put their * trust in 
him.

PSALM XL 

David encouragtth himself in God against his enemies. 

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 

IN the Lord put I my a trust : how say ye to my 
soul, Flee as a bird to your b mountain ? 

2 For, lo, the wicked c bend their bow, they make 
ready their arrow upon the string, that they may 
privily shoot at the upright in heart. 

3 If the d foundations be destroyed, what can the 
righteous do ? 

4 The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne 
is in heaven : his eyes behold, his eyelids e try, the 
children of men. 

5 The Lord trieth the righteous : but the wicked, 
and him that loveth violence, his soul f hateth. 

6 Upon the wicked he shall rain g snares, fire and 
brimstone, and a horrible tempest : this shall be the 
h portion of their cup. 

7 For the righteous Lord loveth ' righteousness ; 
his countenance doth behold the upright. 

PSALM XII. 

David's confidence in God's tried promises. 

To the chief Musician upon Sheminith. 

A Psalm of David. 

HELP, Lord ; for the a godly man ceaseth ; for 
the faithful fail from among the children of 
men. 

2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour : 
with b flattering lips, and with a double heart, do they 
speak. 

3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the 
tongue that speaketh c proud things ; 

4 Who have said, With our tongue will we d pre- 
vail ; our lips are e our own : who is lord over us ? 

5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of 
the needy, f now will I arise, saith the Lord ; 1 will 
set him in safety from him tliat puffeth at him. 

6 The words of the Lord are g pure words ; as sil- 
ver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 

7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt pre- 
serve them from this generation for ever. 

8 The wicked walk on every side, when h the vilest 
men are exalted. 

PSALM XIII. 

3 David prayeth for preventing grace: 5 He boasteth of 

divine mercy. 

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 

HOW long wilt thou forget me, O Lord ? for ever ? 
how long wilt thou a hide thy face from me ? 

2 How long shall I take b counsel in my soul, having 
sorrow in my heart daily ? how long shall mine enemy 
be exalted over me ? 

3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God ; c lighten 
mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death ; 

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have d prevailed against 
him ; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am 
moved 

5 But 1 have c trusted in thy mercy, my heart shall 
rejoice in thy salvation. 

6 I will sing unto the Lord, f because he hatli dealt 
bountifully with me.

EAR the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry 
give ear unto my prayer, that goeth a not out of 
feigned lips. 

2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence ; 
let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. 

3 Thou hast proved my heart ; thou hast visited 
Ttie in the night ; thou hast tried me, and shalt b find 
nothing : I am c purposed that my mouth shall not 
transgress. 

4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy 
lips I have kept me from the paths of the d destroyer. 

5 e Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my foot- 
steps slip not. 

6 I have called upon thee ; for thou f wilt hear me, O 
God : incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. 

7 Shew thy marvellous loving-kindness, O thou 
that g savest by thy right hand them which put their 
trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

14 From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from 
men of the world, which have their ° portion in this 
life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid trea- 
sure : they are full of children, and leave the rest of

PSALM XVIII. 

David praiseth God for his manifold and marvellous blessings. 

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the 
a servant of the Lord, who spake unto the Lord 
the words of this b song in the day that the Lord 
delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and 
from the hand of c Saul : and he said, 
WILL d love thee, O Lord, my strength. 
2 The Lord is my e rock, and my fortress, and 

my deliverer ; my God, my strength, in whom I will 

trust ; my buckler, and the f horn of my salvation, 

and my high tower. 

3 I will call upon the Lord, who is E worthy to be 
praised : so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 

4 The h sorrows of death compassed me, and the 
1 floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 

5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about ; the 
k Prov. 13, * snares of death prevented me. 

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and 
1 cried unto my God : he heard my voice out of his tem- 
ple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 

7 Then the m earth shook and trembled ; the foun- 
dations, also of the hills moved and were shaken, be- 

nPsai. 2,5. causa.he was " wroth.

1 3 They n gaped upon me with their mouths, as a 
ravening and a roaring lion. 

14 1 am poured out like water, and all my bones 
are out of joint : my heart is like ° wax ; it is melted 
in the midst of my bowels. 

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and 
my tongue p cleaveth to my jaws ; and thou hast 
brought me into the dust of death. 

16 For q dogs have compassed me ; the assembly 
of the wicked have enclosed me : they r pierced my 
hands and my feet. 

1 7 I may tell all my bones : s they look and stare 
upon me. 

18 They * part my garments among them, and cast 
lots upon my vesture. 

1 9 But be not thou far from me, O Lord ; O my 
strength, haste thee to help me. 

20 Deliver ray soul from "the sword; my t darling 
from the powei x of the dog. 

21 Save me from the y lion's mouth : for thou hast

PSALM XXXIII. 

God is to be praised for his goodness. 
EJOICE in the Lord, O ye righteous ; for praise 
is a comely h for the upright. 

2 Praise the Lord with c harp : sing unto him with 
the psaltery, and an instrument of ten strings. 

3 Sing unto him d a new song ; play e skilfully with 
a loud noise : 

4 For the word of the Lord is r right ; and all his 
works are done in truth. 

5 E He loveth righteousness and judgment : h the 
earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. 

6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made : 
and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 

7 ' He gathereth the waters of the sea together as 
a heap : he layeth up the depth k in store-houses. 

8 Let all the earth ' fear the Lord ; let all the 
inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him : 

9 For he ra spake, and it was done ; he commanded, 
and it stood fast. 

1 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen 
n to nought : he maketh tl»>3 devices of the people of 
none effect. 

1 1 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the 
thoughts of his heart to all generations. 

12 Blessed is the nation "whose God is the Lord ; 
and the people whom he hath p chosen for his own 
inheritance. 

1 3 The Lord q looketh from heaven ; he beholdeth 
all the sons of men. 

1 4 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon 
all the inhabitants of the earth. 

1 5 He fashioneth their hearts alike ; he considereth 
all their works. 

16 There is no king saved by the r multitude of a 
host : a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 

1 7 A horse is a vain thing for safety : neither shall 
he deliver any by 9 his great strength. 

1 8 Behold, l the eye of the Lord is upon them that 
fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy ; 

19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep 
them alive u in famine. 

20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord ; he is * our help 
and our shield. 

21 For our heart shall rejoice in him; y because 
we have trusted in his holy name. 

22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according 
as we hope in thee. 

PSALM XXXIV. 

David praiseth God, and exhortetk others thereto by his 

experience. 
A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour 
before Abimelech ; who a drove him away, and he 
departed. L

3 Draw out also the spear, and c stop the way

3 And he hath put f a new song in my mouth, even

4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord h his 
trust ; and ' respecteth not the proud, nor such k as

5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy ' wonderful 
works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which 
are to us- ward : they cannot be reckoned up in order 
unto thee : if I would declare and speak of them, 
they are m more than can be numbered. 

6 " Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire ; mine

7 Then said I, p Lo, 1 come : in the volume of the 
book it is q written of me ;

1 1 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, 

Lord : let y thy loving-kindness and thy truth 
continually preserve me. 

12 For innumerable evils have compassed me 
about ; || mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so 
that I am not able to look up : they are more 
than the hairs of my head ; therefore my heart 
faileth me.

that seek after my soul to destroy it ; let them be

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul ? and why

PSALM XLTV. 

The church complaineth of her present evils. 
To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah. 

WE have heard with our ears, O God, a our fathers 
have told us, what work thou didst in their 
days, in the times of old ; 

2 How thou didst b drive out the heathen with thy 
hand, and plantedst them ; how thou didst afflict the 
people, and cast them out. 

3 For they got not the land in possession * by their 
own sword, neither did their own arm save them ; but 
thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy 
countenance, because d thou hadst a favour unto them. 

4 Thou art my King, O God : e command deliver- 
ances for Jacob. 

5 Through thee will we push down our enemies ; 
through thy name will we r tread them under that rise 
up against us. 

6 For I will not g trust in my bow, neither shall my 
sword save me. 

7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast 
put them to shame that hated us. 

8 In God h we boast all the day long, and praise 
thy name for ever. Selah. 

9 But thou ' hast cast off, and put us to shame ; and 
goest not forth with our armies. 

10 Thou makest us k to turn back from the enemy ; 
and they which hate us spoil for themselves. 

1 1 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for 
meat ; and hast scattered us among the heathen. 

1 2 Thou sellest thy people ' for nought, and dost 
m not increase thy wealth by their price. 

1 3 Thou makest us n a reproach to our neighbours, 
a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 

1 4 Thou makest us ° a by-word among the heathen, 
p a shaking of the head among the people. 

1 5 My confusion is continually before me, and the 
shame of my face hath covered me, 

1 6 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blas- 
phemeth ; by reason of the enemy and q avenger. 

1 7 All this is come upon us ; r yet have we not 
forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy 
covenant. 

1 8 s Our heart is not turned back, neither have our 
* steps declined from thy way ; 

1 9 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of 
dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 

20 If we have u forgotten the name of our God, or 
stretched out our hands to a strange god ; 

21 Shall not God * search this out ? for he knoweth 
the secrets of the heart. 

22 Yea, y for thy sake are we killed all the day 
long ; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 

23 * Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord ? arise, 
cast ?is not off for ever. 

24 Wherefore a hidest thou thy face, and forgettest 
our affliction and our oppression 1 

25 For our soul is bowed down to the b dust ; our 
belly cleaveth unto the earth. 

26 Arise for our help, and redeem us, for thy mercies' 
sake.

2 d Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and 
cleanse me from my sin. 

3 For e I acknowledge my transgressions ; and my

wisdom. 

7 ' Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean :

r a right spirit within me. 

1 1 Cast me not away from " thy presence ; and take 
not thy l Holy Spirit from me. 

12 Restore unto me the "joy of thy salvation ; and 
uphold me with thy x free Spirit : 

1 3 Then will I y t^ach transgressors thy ways ; and 
sinners shall be converted unto thee. 

14 Deliver me from z blood-guiltiness, O God, thou

3 Thou lovest evil h more than good, and ' lying

5 He shall s reward evil unto mine enemies : cut 
them off in thy h truth.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil. A

IVE ear to my prayer, O God ; and a hide not 
thyself from my supplication. 

2 Attend unto me, and hear me : b I mourn in my 
complaint, and make c a noise ; 

3 Because of the d voice of the enemy, because of 
the oppression of the wicked : for they e cast iniquity 
upon me, and in wrath they f hate me. 

4 My heart is sore pained within me ; and the 
g terrors of death are fallen upon me. 

5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, 
and horror hath h overwhelmed me. 

6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove ! for 
then would I ' flee away, and be at rest. 

7 Lo then would I wander far off, and remain in

9 Destroy, O Lord, and m divide their tongues 
I have seen violence and strife in the city. 

1 Day and night they go about it upon the walls 
thereof; mischief also and sorrow are in the n midst 
of it. 

1 1 ° Wickedness is in the midst Thereof; deceit and

1 2 For it was p not an enemy that reproached me :

I would have hid myself from him ; 

1 3 But it was thou, a man mine q equal, r my guide, 
and mine s acquaintance. 

1 4 We took sweet counsel together, and walked 
unto the house of God ' in company. 

15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go 
down " quick into hell : for wickedness is in their 
dwellings, and among them. 

16 As for me, 1 will x call upon God ; and the Lord 
shall save me. 

1 7 y Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I 
pray, and cry aloud ; and he shall hear my voice. 

1 8 He hath delivered my soul in peace from z the 
battle that was against me: for there were many

1 9 God shall hear and afflict them, even he that

changes, therefore they fear not God. 

20 He hath b put forth his hands against such as be 
at ,: peace with him ; he hath broken his covenant.

David's prayer for deliverance : PS AL 

1 1 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens : 
let thy glory be above all the earth. 
PSALM LVIII. 

1 David reproveih wicked judges, 3 describeth the wicked. 
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of j! 
David. 
O ye indeed a speak righteousness, O congrega- j 
tion 1 do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men ?J| 

2 Yea, in heart you work wickedness ; you b . weigh] 
the violence of your hands c in the earth. 

3 The wicked are '' estranged from the womb ; they i 
go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. 

4 Their e poison is like the poison of a serpent ; I 
they are like the deaf adder that f stoppeth her ear ; 

5 Which will not hearken to the voice of g charmers, 
charming never so wisely. 

6 Break their h teeth, O God, in their mouth ; break 
out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord. 

7 Let them melt away as waters which run con- 
tinually : when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, 
let them be as 'cut in pieces. 

8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them 
k pass away ; like the l untimely birth of a woman, that 
they may not see the sun. 

9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take 
them away as with m a whirlwind, both living, and in 
his wrath. 

10 The righteous shall n rejoice when he seeth the 
vengeance : he shall wash his feet in the ° blood of the 
wicked. 

1 1 So that a man shall say, Verily there is p a re- 
ward for the righteous : verily he is a God that judg- 
eth in the earth. 

PSALM LIX. 

David, praying to be delivered from his enemies, trusteth 
in God. 

To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of Da- 
vid ; when Saul sent, and they watched the house 
a to kill him. 

DELIVER me from mine enemies, O my God : 
defend me from them that rise up against me. 

2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save 
me from bloody men. 

3 For, lo, they lie b in wait for my soul ; the mighty 
are gathered against me ; c not for my transgression, 
nor for my sin, O Lord. 

4 They run and prepare themselves without my 
fault : d awake to help me, and behold. 

5 Thou, therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God 
of Israel, awake to e visit all the heathen : be not 
merciful to any f wicked transgressors. Selah. 

6 They B return at evening: they make a noise like 
h a dog, and go round about the city. 

7 Behold, they belch out with (heir mouth : swords 
are in their lips; for ' who, say they, doth hear? 

8 But thou, O Lord, ohalt k laugh at them ; thou 
shalt have all the heathen in derision. 

9 Because of his ' strength will I m wait upon thee : 
for God is my defence. 

1 " The God of my mercy shall ° prevent me : God 
shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. 

1 1 Slay them not, lest my p people forget : scatter 
them by thy power ; and bring them down, O Lord 
our shield. 

1 2 For the sin of their q mouth, and the words of 
their lips, let them even be r taken in their pride ; and 
for s cursing and lying which they speak.

PSALM LXIX. 

1 David complaincth of his affliction: 13 He prayeth for 
deliverance. 

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim. 
A Psalm of David. 
AVE a me, O God ; for the b waters are come in 
unto my soul. 

2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing : 
I am come into c deep waters, where the floods over- 
flow me. 

3 I am (1 weary of my crying ; my throat is dried : 
e mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. 

4 They that hate me r without a cause are more 
than the hairs of 'my head : they that would destroy 
me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then 
1 restored that which I took not away. 

5 O God, thou knowest s my foolishness ; and my 
sins are not hid from thee. 

6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of 
hosts, be ashamed h for my sake ; let not those that 
seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. 

7 Because ' for thy sake I have borne reproach : 
shame hath covered my face. 

8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and 
k an alien unto my mother's children. 

9 For the zeal of thy house hath ' eaten me up ; 
and the reproaches of them that reproached thee 
m are fallen upon me. 

10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fast- 
ing, that was n to my reproach. 

1 1 1 made sackcloth also my garment ; and I be- 
came a proverb unto them. 

12 They that sit in the gate ° speak against me ; 
and I ions the p song of the drunkards. ■ 

1 3 But i as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, 
r in an acceptable time : O God, in the multitude of 
thy mercy hear me : in the s truth of thy salvation. 

1 4 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink : 
let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out 
of the deep waters. 

1 5 Let not the water-flood overflow me, neither let 
the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit * shut 
her mouth upon me. 

16 Hear me, OLord; for u thy loving-kindness is 
good : turn unto me according to the multitude of thy 
tender mercies. 

1 7 And s hide not thy face from thy servant ; for I 
am in trouble : hear me speedily. 

1 8 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it : deliver 
me, y because of mine enemies. 

19 Thou hast z known my reproach, and my shame, 
and my dishonour : mine adversaries are all before 
thee.

77ie righteous sustained. PSA1 

1 7 Until I went into tne * sanctuary of God ; then 
understood I their u end. 

18 Surely thou didst set them x in slippery places : 
thou casledst them down into destruction. 

19 How are they brought y into desolation, as in a 
moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. 

20 z As a dream when one awakelh ; so, O Lord, 
when thou a awakest, thou shalt despise their 
image. 

2 1 Thus my heait was t grieved, and I was pricked 
in my reins. 

22 So foolish was I and ignorant ; I was as t a beast 
before thee. 

23 Nevertheless, I am continually with thee ; thou 
hast b holden me by my right hand. 

24 Thou shalt c guide me with thy counsel, and 
afterward receive me d tu glory. 

25 Whom have 1 in heaven e but thee ? and there 
is none upon earth that f I desire besides thee. 

26 My flesh and my heart e failelh : but God is the 
strength of my heart, and my ''portion for ever. 

27 For, lo, they that are ' far from thee shall perish ; 
thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from 
thee. 

28 But it is good for me to draw near to God : I 
have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare 
all thy works. 

PSALM LXXIV. 

The Prophet complaineth of the desolation of the sanctuary. 

Maschil of Asaph. 
GOD, "why hast thou cast us off for ever? why 
b doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of 
thy pasture ? 

2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast 
c purchased of old ; the rod of thine inheritance, which 
thou hast redeemed ; this mount Sion, wherein thou 
hast dwelt. 

3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; 
even all that the enemy hath done d wickedly in the 
sanctuary. 

4 Thine enemies e roar in the midst of thy congre- 
gations ; they set up their r ensigns for signs. 

5 A man t was famous according as he had lifted 
up axes upon the thick trees. 

6 But now they break down the g carved v/ork 
thereof at once with axes and hammers. 

7 They have cast h fire into thy sanctuary ; they 
have defiled by casting down the dwelling-place of thy 

1 1 Kings 8, name ' to the ground. 

8 They said in their hearts, k Let us destroy them 
together : they have burnt up all the synagogues of

2 When I shall receive the congregation, I will 
judge d uprightly.

5 Lift not up your horn k on high : speak not with 
a stiff neck. 

6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor 
from the west, nor from the south : 

7 But God is the judge ; he putteth ' down one, 
and setteth up another. 

8 For in the hand of the Lord there is m a cup, and 
the wine is red ; it is full of " mixture, and he poureth 
out of the same : but the ° dregs thereof, all the wicked 
of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. 

9 But I will p declare for ever ; I will sing praises

and his strength, and his wonderful works that he 
hath done. 

5 For he established E a testimony in Jacob, and gisa.8, 20. 
appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our 
fathers, that they should make them known h to their hDeut.4, 9. 
children ; 

6 That the generation to come might know them, 
even the children which should be born, who should 
arise and ' declare them to their children : 

7 That they might set their hope in God, and not 
forget the works of God; but keep his commandments: 

8 And might not be k as their fathers, ' a stubborn 
and rebellious generation ; a generation that set not 
their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast 
with God. 

9 The m children of Ephraim, being armed, 
carrying bows, turned back in the day of batt!e. 

10 They kept not the covenant of God, and 
fused to walk in his law ; 

1 1 And ° forgat his works, and his wonders that he ° Isa - 17 < ie 
had shewed them. Jer - 2 ' *■ 

12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their 
fathers in the land of Egypt, in the field of p Zoan. P, Num - 13 > 

13 He q divided the sea, and caused them to pass Ezek. 19,14. 
through ; and he made the waters to stand as a heap. qEx.14,21. 

14 In the day-time also he r led them with a cloud, rNeh. 9, 19. 
and all the night with a light of fire. 

1 5 He clave the s rocks in the wilderness, and gave 
them drink as out of the great depths. 

16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and 
caused waters l to run down like rivers. 

17 And they sinned u yet more against him, by 
x provoking the Most High in the wilderness. 

1 8 And they tempted God in their heart, by asking 
meat for their t lust. 

1 9 Yea, they y spake against God : they said, Can 
God furnish a table in the wilderness ? 

20 Behold, he l smote the rock, that the waters zEx. 17, 6 
gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he a give a Ps. 136, 
bread also ? can he provide flesh for his people ? 

21 Therefore the Lord h heard this, and was 
c wroth : so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and an- 
ger also came up against Israel. 

22 Because they d believed not in God, and e trust- 
ed not in his salvation ; 

23 Though he had commanded the clouds from 
above, and opened the f doors of heaven, 

24 And had rained down g manna upon them to 
eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 

25 Man did eat t angels' food : he sent them h meat f He h™ 
to the full. 

26 He caused an east wind ' to blow in the heaven; 
and by his power he brought in the south wind. 

27 He rained k flesh also upon them as dust, and 
feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea; 

28 And he lei il fall in the midst of their camp, 
round about their habitations. 

29 So they did eat, and were well filled : for he 
gave them t heir own desire; 

30 They were not estranged from their ' lust : but 
while their meat was vet in their mouths, 

31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew 
the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of 
Israel. 

32 For all this they m sinned still, and believed not 
for his wondrous works. 

33 Therefore their dajssdid he consume "in vanity, 
and their years in trouble.

wrath against the disobedient. PSALMS. 

34 When he ° slow them, then they sought him ; 
and they returned and inquired early alter God: 

35 And they remembered that God was their Rock, 
and the high God their Redeemer. 

36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their 
mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues: 

37 For their heart was p not right with him, neither 
were they stedfast in his covenant. 

38 But he, being q full of compassion, forgave their 
iniquity, and destroyed them not : yea, t many a time 
turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his 
wrath : 

39 For he remembered that they ?vere but r flesh ; 
s a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. 

40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, 
and. l grieve him in the desert ! 

41 Yea, they " turned back, and tempted God, and 
x limited the Holy One of Israel. 

42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day 
when he delivered them from the enemy : 

43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his 
wonders in the field of Zoan : 

44 And had turned their rivers into y blood ; and 
their floods, that they could not drink. 

45 He sent z divers sorts of flies among them, which 
devoured them ; and a frogs, which destroyed them. 

46 He gave also their increase unto the b cater- 
pillar, and their labour unto c the locust. 

47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their 
sycamore-trees with || frost. 

48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and 
their flocks to d hot thunderbolts. 

49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, 
wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending t evil 
angels among them. 

50 He made a way to his anger ; he spared not 
their soul from death, but gave their life over to the 
pestilence ; 

51 And smote all the e first-born in Egypt ; the chief 
of their strength in the tabernacles of ' Ham : 

52 But made his own people to go forth " like sheep, 
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 

53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared 
not : but the h sea overwhelmed their enemies. 

54 And he brought them to the border of ' his 
sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his k right 
hand had purchased. 

55 He ' cast out the heathen also before them, and 
m divided them an inheritance by line, and made the 
tribes o{ Israel to dwell in their tents. 

56 Yet they n tempted and provoked the most high 
God, and u kept not his testimonies •, 

57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like 
p their fathers : they were turned aside like q a deceit- 
ful bow. 

5C For they provoked him to anger with their 
r high places, and moved him to 8 jealousy with their 
graven images. 

59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly 
abhorred Israel : 

60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of * Shiloh, 
the tent which he placed among men ; 

61 And delivered u his strength into captivity, and 
his glory into the enemy's hand. 

62 He gave his people over also unto the sword ; 
and was wroth with his inheritance. 

63 The fire consumed their young men ; and their 
maidens were not given to marriage. j 



TJie desolation of Jerusalem.

wine. 

66 And he a smote his enemies in the hinder parts; aiSam.5,6. 
he put them to a perpetual reproach. 

67 Moreover, he refused the tabernacle of b Joseph, 
and chose not the tribe of Ephraim ; 

68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Sion, 
which he loved. 

69 And he c built his sanctuary like high palaces, 
like the earth which he hath established for ever. 

70 He chose David also his servant, and took him 
from the d sheep-folds : 

71 From following the ewes great with young, he a, 
brought him e to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his | 5i

5 Wilt thou be angry with us d for ever ? wilt thou 
draw out thine anger to all generations ? 

6 Wilt thou not e revive us again, that thy people 
may rejoice in thee ? 

7 Shew us f thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy 
salvation. 

8 I will g hear what God the Lord will h speak : 
for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his 
saints : but let them not ' turn again to folly. 

9 Surely his salvation k is nigh them that fear him ; 
that ' glory may dwell in our land.

me ; thou hast made me an abomination unto them : 
I am k shut up, and I cannot come forth. 

9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction : Lord, 
I have called daily upon thee ; I have stretched out 
my hands unto thee. 

10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead ? shall the 

I dead arise and praise thee ? Selah. 

1 1 Shall thy m loving-kindness be declared in the 
grave ? or thy faithfulness t in destruction ? 

12 Shall thy wonders be known in the "dark ? and 
thy righteousness in the land of ° forgetfulness ? 

13 But unto thee have I cried, O Lord ; and in the 
morning shall my prayer prevent thee. 

1 4 Lord, p why castest thou off my soul ? why 
hidest thou thy face from me ? 

1 5 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth 
up : while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 

16 Thy t fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors 
have cut me off. 

1 7 They came round about me daily like water, 
they q compassed me about together. 

1 8 r Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, 
and mine acquaintance into darkness. 

PSALM LXXXIX. 

The Psalmist praiseth God for his covenant and wonderful 
power. 
Maschil of a Ethan the Ezrahite. 
WILL b sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever : 
with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness 
c to all generations. 

2 For T have said, Mercy shall be built up for 
ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very 

II heavens* 

3 I have made a covenant with my e chosen, I have 
sworn unto f David my servant, 

4 Thy E seed will 1 establish for ever, and build up 
thy h throne to all generations. Selah. 

5 And the ' heavens shall praise thy wonders, O 
Lord ; thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the 
saints. 

6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto 
the Lord ? who among the sons of the mighty can be 
likened unto the Lord ? 

7 God is k greatly to be feared in the || assembly of 
the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them 
that are ' about him. 

8 O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like 
unto thee ? or to thy faithfulness round about thee ? 

9 Thou rulest the m raging of the sea : when the 
waves thereof arise, thou slillest them. 

10 Thou hast broken " Rahabin pieces, as one that 
is slain : thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy 
strong arm. 

1 1 The heavens are "thine, the earth also is thine :

PSALM XCI. 

1 The stale of the godly : 3 Their safety : 9 Their habitation. 

E that dwellcth in the a secret place of the Most 

High, shall abide under the b shadow of the 



Almighty. 

2 1 will say of the Lord, He is my c refuge, and 
my fortress : my God ; in him will I trust. 

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the d snare of the 
fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 

4 He shall cover thee with his e feathers, and under 
his wings shalt thou trust : his truth shall be thy f shield 
and buckler. 

5 Thou shalt E not be afraid for the h terror by night, 
nor for the arrow that flieth by day. 

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, 
nor for the destruction that wasteth at ' noon-day. 

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand 
at thy right hand ; but it shall k not come nigh thee. 

8 Only ' with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see 
the m reward of the wicked. 

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my 
refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation, 

10 There shall n no evil befall thee, neither shall 
any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 

1 1 For he shall give ° his angels charge over thee, 
to keep thee in all p thy ways. 

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou 
dash thy foot against a stone. 

1 3 Thou shalt tread upon the q lion and r adder : 
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample 
under feet. 

1 4 Because he hath set B his love upon me, there- 
fore will I deliver him : I will set him l on high, because 
he hath " known my name. 

1 5 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him : 
I will be x with him in trouble ; I will deliver him, and 
y honour him.

my salvation. 

PSALM XCII. 

The Prophet exhorteth to praise God for his great works. 

A Psalm or Song for the a sabbath-day. 

FT is b a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, 

-" and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High : 

2 To shew forth thy loving-kindness in the c morn- 
ing, and thy faithfulness d every night, 

3 Upon an instrument often strings, and upon the 
psaltery ; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 

4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy 
work ; I will triumph in the e works of thy hands. 

5 O Lord, how great are thy works ! and thy 
thoughts are very f deep. 

6 s A brutish man knoweth not ; neither doth a fool 
understand this. 

7 When the wicked spring as the h grass, and when 
all the workers of iniquity do flourish ; it is that they 
shall be destroyed for ever : 

8 But thou, Lord, art ' most high for evermore. 

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine 
enemies shall perish : all the workers of iniquity shall 
be k scattered ; 

1 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the ' horn of 
a unicorn : I shall be anointed with m fresh oil. 

11 n Mine eye also shall see my desire' on mine 
enemies ; and mine ears shall hear my desire of the 
wicked that rise up against me. 

1 2 The righteous shall flourish like the ° palm-tree ; 
he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon*

shall a flourish in the courts of our God. 

14 They shall still r bring forth fruit in old age; 
they shall be fat and flourishing ;

PSALM XCIII. 

The majesty, power, and holiness of Christ's kingdom. 
HE Lord d reigneth ; he is clothed with majes- 
ty ; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith 
he hath b girded himself: the world also is established, 
that it cannot be moved. 

2 Thy throne is established e of old : thou art from 
everlasting. 

3 The d floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods 
have lifted up their voice ; the floods lift up their waves. 

4 The Lord e on high is mightier than the noise of 
many waters, yea, than the f mighty waves of the sea. 

5 Thy testimonies are very sure : s holiness be- 
cometh thy house, O Lord, for ever. 

PSALM XCIV. 

The Prophet shezveth the blessedness of affliction. 

LORD God, to whom a vengeance belongeth ; 
O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew 
thyself. 

2 Lift up thyself, thou b judge of the earth: render 
a reward to the proud. 

3 Lord, how long shall the c wicked, how long 
shall the wicked triumph ? 

4 How long shall they utter and speak d hard things ? 
and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves ? 

5 They c break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and 
afflict thy heritage : 

6 They r slay the widow and the stranger, and 
murder the fatherless. 

7 Yet g they say, The Lord shall h not see, neither 
shall the God of Jacob regard it. 

8 Understand, ye ' brutish among the people ; and, 
ye fools, when will ye be wise ? 

9 He that planted k the ear, shall he not hear ? he 
that formed the eye, shall he not see ? 

10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he 
correct ? he that teacheth ' man knowledge, shall not 
he know ? 

1 1 The Lord knoweth m the thoughts of man, that 
they are vanity. ^p 

1 2 Blessed is the man whom thou^* chastenest, O 
Lord, and ° teachest him out of thy law ; 

1 3 That thou mayest give him rest from the p days 
of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. 

14 For the Lord will i not cast off his people, 
neither will he forsake his inheritance : 

15 But r judgment shall return unto righteousness ; 
and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 

16 s Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers 1 
or who will stand up for me against the workers of 
iniquity? 

1 7 l Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul 
had almost dwelt in silence. 

18 When 1 said, u My foot slippeth ; thy mercy, O 
Lord, held me up. 

19 In the x multitude of my thoughts within me thy 
comforts delight my soul. 

20 Shall tiie y throne of iniquity have fellowship 
with thee, which frameth mischief z by a law ? 

21 They a gather themselves together against the 
soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent 
blood.

2 The Lord hath made known c his salvation : his

3 He hath d remembered his mercy and his truth 
toward the house of Israel : e all the ends of the earth 
have seen the salvation of our God. 

4 Make f a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the 
earth ; make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. 

5 Sing unto the Lord with the harp : with the harp, 
and the voice of a psalm. 

6 With g trumpets, and sound of cornet, make a 
joyful noise before the Lord h the King. 

7 Let the sea ! roar, and the fulness thereof; the 
world, and they that dwell therein.

12 But thou, O Lord, shalt r endure for over, and 
thy 3 remembrance unto all generations. 

1 3 Thou shalt l arise, and " have mercy upon Zion : 
for the time to favour her, yea, the K set time, is 
come. 

1 4 For thy servants take pleasure in her y stones, 
and favour the dust thereof. 

15 z So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord,

1 7 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and 
not despise their prayer. 

1 8 This shall be written for the generation to come ;

PSALM CIV. 

A meditation upon the mighty power and providence of God. 

BLESS the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, 
thou art very great; thou art a clothed with 
honour and majesty : 

2 Who coverest thyself with b light as with a 
garment ; who stretchest out the heavens like c a 
curtain ; 

3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers d in the 
waters ; who maketh the e clouds his chariot ; who 
walketh upon the wings of the wind ; 

4 Who maketh his f angels spirits ; his ministers g a 
flaming fire ; 

5 Who h laid the foundations of the earth, thai it 
should not be removed ' for ever. 

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with k a gar- 
ment : the waters stood above the mountains. 

7 At thy rebuke they fled ; at ' the voice of thy 
thunder they hasted away. 

8 They m go up by the mountains ; they go down "> Gen. s, 5 
by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded 

for them. 

9 Thou hast set "a bound that they may not pass nJ er. 5,22, 
over, that they turn not again to cover the earth. 

10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which 
run among the hills. 

1 1 They give drink to ° every beast of the field : 
the wild asses p quench their thirst. 

1 2 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their 
habitation, which sing among the branches. 

1 3 He watereth the hills from his chambers : the 
earth is satisfied with the 1 fruit of thy works. 

14 He causcth the r grass to grow for the cattle, 
and herb for the service of man, that he may bring 1 
forth t food out of the earth ; 

15 And wine that 8 maketh glad the heart of mail, 
and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which 
strengtheneth man's heart. 

16 The l trees of the Lord are full of sap : the 
cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted ; 

17 Where the birds make their nests : as for the 
stork, the fir-trees are her house. 

18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, 
and the rocks" for the " conies. 

19 He appointelh the moon for "seasons: the sun 
y knoweth his going down.

10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,

1 6 Moreover, he s called for a famine upon the land : 
he brake the whole * staff of bread. 

1 7 u He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who 
was x sold for a servant ; 

1 8 Whose feet they hurt y with fetters : he was laid 
in iron ; 

1 9 Until the time that z his word came ; the word 
of the Lord a tried him. 

20 The king b sent and loosed him ; even the ruler 
of the people, and let him go free. 

21 He made him c lord of his house, and ruler of all 
his substance ; 

22 To d bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach 
his senators wisdom. 

23 e Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob so- 
journed in the land of f Ham. 

24 And he 6 increased his people greatly, and made 
them stronger than their enemies. 

25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal 
h subtilly with his servants. 

26 ' He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron whom 
he had chosen. 

27 They shewed his k signs among them, and 
wonders in the land of Ham. 

28 He sent ' darkness, and made it dark ; and they 
m rebelled not against his word. 

29 He turned their n waters into blood, and slew 
their fish. 

30 The land brought forth frogs "in abundance, in 
the p chambers of their kings. 

31 He spake, and there came q divers sorts of flies, 
and T lice in all their coasts. 

32 He gave them 3 hail for rain, and l flaming fire 
in their land. 

33 He smote their vines also, and their fig-trees ; 
and brake the trees of their coasts. 

34 He spake, and the u locusts came, and cater- 
pillars, and that without number, 

35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and 
devoured the fruit of their ground. 

36 He smote also all the K first-born in their land, 
the y chief of all their strength. 

37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold; 
and there was z not one feeble person among their 
tribes. 

38 Egypt was glad when they departed ; for a the 
fear of them fell upon them. 

39 He spread b a cloud for a covering, and c fire 
to give light in the night. 

40 The people asked, and he brought d quails, and

3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he 
that c doeth righteousness d at all times. 

4 e Remember me, O Lord, with the favour thai 
thou bearest unto thy people : O visit me with thy 
salvation ; 

5 That I may f see the good of thy chosen, that I 
may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may 
g glory with thine inheritance. 

6 We have h sinned with our fathers, we have 
committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 

7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt ; 
they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies ; 
but provoked him at the sea, even ' at the Red Sea. 

8 Nevertheless, he saved them k for his name's 
sake, that he might make his mighty power to be 
known. 

9 He * rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried 
up : so he led them through m the depths, as through 
the wilderness. 

10 And he saved them from the hand of him that 
hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the 
enemy. 

1 1 And the waters n covered their enemies ; there 
was not one of them left. 

12 Then ° believed they his words ; they p sang 
his praise. 

1 3 They q soon forgat his works ; they waited not 
for his counsel ; 

1 4 But r lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and 
9 tempted God in the desert. 

1 5 And he gave them their request ; but sent l lean- 
ness into their soul. 

16 They "envied Moses also in the camp; and 
Aaron the saint of the Lord. 

17 The x earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, 
and covered the company of Abiram. 

1 8 And a fire was kindled in their company ; the 
flame burnt up y the wicked. 

19 They made a calf in z Horeb, and worshipped 
the molten image. 

20 Thus they changed their " glory into the simili-

and to ' scatter them in the lands. 

28 They joined themselves also unto k Baal-peor,

33 Because they •» provoked his spirit, so that he 
spake r unadvisedly with his lips. 

34 They did s not destroy the nations, concerning 
whom the Lord commanded them : 

35 But were l mingled among the heathen, and 
learned their works. 

36 And they served their idols ; which were u a 
snare unto them. 

37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daugh- 
ters unto devils, 

38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their 
sons, and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed 
unto the K idols of Canaan : and the land was pollu- 
ted with blood. 

39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, 
and went y a whoring with their own inventions. 

40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled 
against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own 
inheritance. 

41 And z he gave them into the hand of the hea- 
then 5 and they that hated them ruled over them. 

42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and thev 
were brought into subjection under their hand. 

43 a Many times did he deliver them ; but they 
provoked him with their counsel, and were brought 
low for their iniquity. 

44 Nevertheless, b he regarded their affliction, when 
he heard their cry : 

45 And he c remembered for them his covenant, 
and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. 

46 He made them also d to be pitied of all those 
that carried them captives. 

47 Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from 
among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy 
e name, and to triumph in thy praise.

1 5 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his

16 For he hath broken the r gates of brass, and cut

1 7 Fools, s because of their transgression, and be- 
cause of their iniquities, t are afflicted : 

1 8 Their l soul abhorreth all manner of meat ; and 
they draw near unto the gates of death. 

1 9 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble ; 
he saveth them out of their distresses. 

20 He sent his u word and healed them, and de- 
livered them from their x destructions. 

21 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his 
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children 
of men ! 

22 And let them y sacrifice the sacrifices of thanks- 
giving, and declare his works with rejoicing. 

23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do 
z business in great waters ; 

24 These a see the works of the Lord, and his 
wonders in the deep. 

25 For he commandeth, and b raiseth the stormy 
wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 

26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down 
again to the depths ; their soul is c melted because of 
trouble. 

27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken 
man, and are at their wit's end. 

28 d Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, 
and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 

29 He maketh the storm e a calm, so that the 
waves thereof are still. 

30 Then are they glad because they be quiet ; so 
he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 

31 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his 
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children 
of men ! 

32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of 
the people, and praise him in the assembly of the 
elders. 

33 He t turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the 
water-springs into dry ground ; 

34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wicked- 
ness of them that dwell therein. 

35 He turneth the f wilderness into a standing wa- 
ter, and dry ground into water-springs. 

36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that 
they may prepare a city for habitation ; 

37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which 
may g yield fruits of increase. 

38 He h blesseth them also, so that they are 'mul- 
tiplied greatly, and suffered) not their cattle to de- 
crease. 

39 Again, they are k diminished, and brought low 
through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 

40 He ' poureth contempt upon princes, and caus- 
eth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is 
no way. 

4 1 Yet m setteth he the poor on high from affliction, 
and maketh him families like a flock. 

42 The righteous shall n see it, and rejoice ; and 
all iniquity shall ° stop her mouth.

7 Though I walk in the k midst of trouble, thou

PSALM CXXXIX. 

David praiseth God for his all-seeing providence. 
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 
LORD, thou hast a searched me, and known me. 
2 Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up- 
rising ; thou understandest b my thought afar off. 

3 Thou t compassest my path and my lying down, 
and art acquainted with all my ways : 

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O 
Lord, c thou knowest it altogether. 

5 Thou hast d beset me behind and before, e and laid 
thy hand upon me. 

6 Such knowledge is r too wonderful for me ; it is 
high, I cannot attain unto it. 

7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit ? or whither 
shall I flee from thy E presence ? 

8 If I ascend up into h heaven, thou art there ; If I 
make my bed in ' hell, behold, thou art there. 

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in 
the uttermost parts k of the sea ; 

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy 
right hand shall hold me. 

11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me ; 
even the ' night shall be light about me. 

1 2 Yea, the darkness m hideth not from thee ; but 
the night shineth as the day : the darkness and the 
light are both alike to thee. 

1 3 For thou hast possessed my n reins : thou hast 
covered me in my mother's womb. 

14 I will praise thee ; for I am fearfully and p won- 
derfully made : marvellous are thy works ; and that 
my soul '' knoweth right well. 

15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I 
was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the 
r lowest parts of the earth. 

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being 
8 imperfect ; and in thy \ book all my members were 
written, which in continuance were fashioned, when 
as yet there teas none " of them. 

1 7 x How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, 
O God ! how great is the sum of them ! 

1 8 If I should count them, they are more in number 
than the sand : when I y awake, I am still with thee. 

19 Surely thou wilt z slay the wicked, O God: 
depart from me, therefore, ye a bloody men. 

20 For they speak h against thee wickedly, and 
thine enemies take thy c name in vain. 

2 1 Do not I d hate them, O Lord, that hate thee ? 
and am not I grieved with those that rise up against 
thee !i

Maschil of David; a prayer when he was in the

I b CRIED unto the Lord with my voice : with my 
voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication. 

2 c I poured out my complaint before him : I shew- 
ed before him my trouble. 

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, 
then d thou knewest my path : in the way wherein I 
walked have they privily laid a snare for me. 

4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there 
was no man that would know me : refuge e failed me ; 
no man cared for my soul. 

5 I cried unto thee, O Lord : I said, Thou art my 
refuge, and f my portion in the land of the living. 

6 Attend unto my cry ; for I am g f| brought very 
low : deliver me from my persecutors : for they are 
stronger than I. 

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I 
thy name : the righteous shall h compass 
for thou shalt deal ' bountifully with me. 

PSALM CXLIII. 

David strengthened his faith by meditation and prayer. 
A Psalm of David. 
EAR my prayer, O Lord ; a give ear to my sup- 
plications : in thy faithfulness answer me, and 
in thy righteousness. 

2 And b enter not into judgment with thy servant : 
for in thy sight shall no man living be e justified. 

3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul ; he hath 
smitten my || life down to the ground : he hath made 
me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long 
dead. 

4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me : 
my heart within me is d desolate. 

5 I remember the days e of old ; I meditate on all 
thy works : I muse on f the work of thy hands 

6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee : my soul 
thirsteth after thee, as = a thirsty land. Selah. 

7 Hear me speedily, O Lord ; my spirit faileth 
hide not thy face from me, h lest I be like unto them 
that go down into the pit. 

8 Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the 
1 morning ; for in thee do I trust : k cause me to know 
the way wherein I should walk ; for I lift up my soul 
unto thee. 

9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies : I fly 
unto thee to hide me. 

10 Teach me to do thy will ; for thou art my God : 
thy ' Spirit is good ; lead me into the m land of up- 
rightness. 

1 1 n Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake : 
for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. 

1 2 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and 
destroy all them that afflict my soul : ° for I am thy 
servant. 

PSALM CXLIV. 

David blesseth God for Ms mercy both to him and to man. 
A Psalm of David. 
LESSED be the Lord a my strength, which teach- 
eth my hands b to war, and my fingers to fight : 

2 My goodness, and my fortress ; my high tower, 
and my deliverer ; my shield, and he in whom I trust ; 
who subdueth my people under me. 

3 Lord, what is man, that thou takest c knowledge 
of him 1 or the son of man, that thou makest account 
of him?

CHAP. I. 

1 The use of the proverbs. 7 An exhortation to fear God 
and believe his word. 

THE a Proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, 
king of Israel ; 

2 To know b wisdom and instruction ; c to perceive 
the words of understanding ; 

3 To receive the instruction d of wisdom, justice, 
and judgment, and e equity ; 

4 To give f subtilty to the simple, to the young 
man knowledge and discretion. 

5 A wise man will hear, and g will increase learn- 
ing ; and a man of understanding shall attain unto 
wise counsels ; 

6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation ; 
the words of the wise, and their h dark sayings. 

7 The ' fear of the Lord is the beginning of know- 
ledge : but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

8 My son, k hear the instruction of thy father, and 
forsake not the law of thy mother : 

9 For they shall be ' an ornament of grace unto 
thy head, and chains about thy neck. 

10 My son, if sinners m entice thee, n consent thou 
not. 

1 1 If they ° say, p Come with us, let us lay wait 
for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without 
cause : 

1 2 Let us q swallow them up alive, as the grave ; 
and whole, as those that go down into die pit : 

1 3 We shall find all r precious substance, we shall 
9 fill our houses with spoil : 

1 4 Cast in thy lot among us ; let us all have one 
purse. 

1 5 My son, l walk not thou in the way with them ; 
refrain thy foot from their path : 

16 For their u feet run to evil, and make haste to 
shed blood : 

17 (Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of 
any bird :) 

18 And they lay wait x for their own blood; they 
lurk privily for their own lives. 

1 9 So are the ways of every one that y is greedy 
of gain ; which z taketh away the life of the owners 
thereof. 

20 » Wisdom crieth without ; she b uttereth her 
voice in the streets ; 

21 She crieth in the c chief place of concourse, in 
the openings of the gates : in the city she uttereth her 
words, saying, 

22 d How long, ye simple ones, will ye love sim- 
plicity, and the scomers delight in their scorning, and 
fools hate knowledge ? 

23 Turn you at my reproof; behold, I will t pour 
out my Spirit unto you, I will make known my words 
unto you. 

24 Because I have e called, and ye refused ; I 
have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded ; 



25 But ye have f set at nought all my counsel, and 
would none of my reproof; 

26 I also will g laugh at your calamity ; I will mock 
when your L fear cometh. 

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your 
1 destruction cometh as a whirlwind ; when distress 
and anguish cometh upon you ; 

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will k not 
answer ; they shall seek me early, but they shall not 
find me : 

29 For that they ' hated knowledge, and did m not 
choose the fear of the Lord : 

30 They would n none of my counsel ; they despised 
all my reproof: 

31 Therefore shall they ° eat of the fruit of their 
own way, and be p filled with their own devices. 

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay 
them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell 
safely, and shall be q quiet from fear of evil. 

CHAP. II. 

Wisdom promiseth godliness to her children. 

MY son, if thou wilt receive my words, and " hide 
my commandments with thee ; 

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and 
b apply thy heart to understanding ; 

3 Yea, if thou c criest after knowledge, and liftest 
up thy voice for understanding ; 

4 If thou d seekest her as silver, and e searchest for 
her as for hid treasures ; 

5 Then shall thou understand the fear of the Lord, 
and f find the knowledge of God : 

6 For the Lord g giveth wisdom : out of his mouth 
cometh knowledge and understanding; 

7 He layeth up h sound wisdom for the righteous : 
he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 

8 He keepeth the ' paths of judgment, and k pre- 
serveth the way of his saints. 

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and 
judgment, and equity ; yea, every ' good path. 

10 When wisdom entereth into thy heart, and 
knowledge is m pleasant unto thy soul, 

11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding 
shall keep thee ; 

1 2 To deliver thee from the way of the n evil man, 
from the man that speaketh froward things ; 

1 3 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in 
the ways ° of darkness ; 

1 4 Who p rejoice to do evil, and delight in the fro- 
wardness of the wicked ; 

1 5 Whose ways are crooked, and they q froward in 
their paths : 

16 To deliver thee from the 'strange woman, 
even from the stranger which s flattereth witli her 
words ; 

1 7 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and 
forgettcth the * covenant of her God.

The happy gain of wisdom : CHAP. 

1 8 For her house inclineth unto n death, and her 
paths unto the dead ; 

1 9 None that go unto her * return again, neither 
take they hold of the paths of life ; 

20 That thou mayest walk in the way of y good 
men, and keep the paths of the righteous. 

21 For the upright shall z dwell in the land, and the 
perfect shall remain in it. 

22 But the wicked shall be a cut off from the earth, 
and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. 

CHAP. III. 

Jin exhortation to obedience, faith, and mortification. 

MY son, forget not my law ; but let a thy heart 
keep my commandments : 

2 For length of days, and long life, and b peace, 
shall they add to thee. 

3 Let not c mercy and truth forsake thee ; bind 
them about thy neck ; d write them upon the table of 
thy heart : 

4 So shalt thou find e favour and good understand- 
ing in the sight of God and man. 

5 f Trust in the Lord with all thy heart ; g and lean 
not unto thine own understanding. 

6 b In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall 
5 direct thy paths. 

7 k Be not wise in thine own eyes : fear the Lord, 
and ' depart from evil. 

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to 
thy bones. 

9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with 
the m first-fruits of all thine increase : 

10 So shall thy barns be filled with n plenty, and 
thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 

1 1 My son, despise not ° the chastening of the Lord ; 
neither be weary of his correction : 

1 2 For whom the Lord p loveth he correcteth, even 
q as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 

13 r Happy is the man that findetn wisdom, and the 
man that getteth understanding : 

14 For the merchandise of it is 8 better than the 
merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine 
gold. 

1 5 She is more precious than rubies : and * all the 
things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto 
her. 

1 6 Length of days is in her right hand ; and in her 
left hand u riches and honour. 

1 7 Her ways are ways of x pleasantness, and all 
her paths are y peace. 

1 8 She is z a tree of life to them that lay hold upon 
her ; and happy is every one that retaineth her. 

19 The Lord a by wisdom hath founded the earth 5 
by understanding hath he b established the heavens. 

20 By his knowledge the c depths are broken up, and 
the clouds drop down the dew. 

21 My son, let not them d depart from thine eyes : 
keep sound wisdom and discretion. 

22 So shall they be e life unto thy soul, and grace 
to thy neck. 

23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way f safely, and 
£ thy foot shall not stumble. 

24 When thou h liest down thou shalt not be afraid ; 
yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy ' sleep shall be 
sweet. 

25 Be not afraid of k sudden fear, neither of the 
desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. 

26 For the Lord shall be thy ' confidence, and 
shall keep thy foot from being m taken.

Solomon sheweth what instruction he had of his parents. 

HEAR, ye a children, the instruction of a father, *} Sam. 2, 
and attend to know understanding. f£ 34 n 

2 For I give you b good doctrine, forsake you not b i Tim. 4. 
my law. 

3 For I was my father's son, 
beloved in the sight of my mother. 

4 d He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thy d Eph. 6, 4 
heart retain my words : keep my commandments, and 

live. 

5 e Get wisdom, get understanding ; forget it not : 
neither decline from the words of my mouth. 

6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee : 
f love her, and she shall keep thee. 

7 Wisdom is the 6 principal thing : therefore get 
wisdom : and with all thy getting get understanding. 

8 Exalt her, and she shall h promote thee : she 
shall ' bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace 
her. 

9 She shall give to thy head k an ornament of grace ; k ch. 1, a 
a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. 

10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and 
the ' years of thy life shall be many. 

Ill have taught thee in the way of wisdom ; I 
have led thee in m right paths. 

1 2 When thou n goest, thy steps shall not be strait- 
ened ; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. 

13 Take ° fast hold of instruction ; let her not go : 
keep her ; for she is thy p life. 

14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go 
not in the q way of evil men. 

15 Avoid it, pass not by it, t turn from it, and pass 
away. 

16 For they r sleep not, except they have done

24 Put away from thee b a froward mouth, and 
perverse lips put far from thee. 

25 Let thine c eyes look right on, and let thine eye- 
lids look straight before thee. 

26 d Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy 
ways be established. 

27 e Turn not to the right hand nor to the left : 
f remove thy foot from evil. 

CHAP. V. 
Solomon exhorteth to the study of wisdom. 
Y son, attend unto my wisdom, and a bow thine 
ear to my understanding; 

2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that 
b thy lips may keep knowledge. 

3 For the lips of a strange woman c drop as a 
honey-comb, and her mouth is smoother than oil : 

4 But her end is d bitter as wormwood, sharp as a 
two-edged sword. 

5 Her feet go down e to death, her steps take hold 
on hell. 

6 Lest thou shouldest f ponder the path of life, her 
ways are moveable, that thou canst g not know them. 

7 h Hear me now, therefore, O ye children, and 
depart not from the words of my mouth. 

8 ' Remove thy way far from her, and come not 
nigh the door of her house ; 

9 Lest thou give thine k honour unto others, and thy 
years unto the ' cruel : 

1 Lest m strangers be filled with thy wealth, and 
thy labours be in the house of a stranger ; 

1 1 And thou mourn at the last, when thy n flesh 
and thy body are consumed, 

1 2 And say. ° How have I hated instruction, and 
my heart despised reproof; 

1 3 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, 
nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me ! 

1 4 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the p con- 
gregation and assembly. 

15 IF q Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and 
running waters out of thine own well. 

1 6 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers 
of waters in the streets. 

1 7 Let them be r only thine own, and not strangers 
with thee. 

1 8 Let thy fountain be s blessed ; and rejoice with 
the ' wife of thy youth. 

1 9 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant u roe ; 
let her x breasts y satisfy thee at all times, and be thou 
ravished always with her love. 

20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with 
a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a 
stranger ? 

21 For the ways of man are before z the eyes of 
the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings. 

22 His own iniquities shall a take the wicked him- 
self, and he shall be holden with the cords of his 
sins. 

23 He shall die b without instruction ; and in the 
greatness of his folly he shall go astray. 

CHAP. VI. 

Against suretyship, idleness, and mischievousness.

14 Frowardness is in his heart, he q deviseth mis- 
chief continually ; he soweth discord. 

15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; 
suddenly shall he be broken r without remedy. 

16 IT These six things doth the Lord hate; yea, 
seven are an abomination unto him :

that shed innocent blood, 

1 8 A heart that deviseth x wicked imaginations,

7 And beheld among the f simple ones, I discerned 
among the youths, a young man g void of under- 
standing, 

8 Passing through the street '' near her corner ; and 
he ' went the way to her house ; 

9 In k the twilight, in the evening, in the black and 
dark night : 

10 And, behold, there met him a woman, with the 

I attire of a harlot, and m subtle of heart. 

1 1 (She is n loud and stubborn ; her feet ° abide 
not in her house : 

1 2 Now is she without, now in the streets, and 

II lieth in wait at every corner.) 

1 3 So she ' ! caught him, and kissed him, and T with 
an impudent face said unto him, 

14 I have s peace-offerings with me ; this day have 
I paid my vows : 

15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently 
to seek thy face ; and I have l found thee. 

16 I have u decked my bed with coverings of tapes- 
try, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 

1 7 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and 
cinnamon. 

18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morn- 
ing ; let us solace ourselves with loves : 

19 For the good man is not at home, he is gone * a 
long journey : 

20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and 
will come home at the day appointed. 

21 With much fair speech she y caused him t 
yield, with the z flattering of her lips she forced him 

22 He goeth after her straightway, as a an ox goeth 
to the slaughter, or as a fool to the b correction of the 
stocks ; 

23 Till c a dart strike through his liver, as a bird 
d hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for 
his life. 

24 Hearken unto me now, therefore, O ye children, 
and attend to the words of my mouth : 

25 Let not e thy heart decline to her ways, go not 
astray in her paths : 

26 For she hath cast down many wounded ; yea, 
many f strong men have been slain by her. 

27 g Her house is the way to hell, going down to 
the h chambers of death.

22 The Lord b possessed me in the beginning of p^o^'as. 
his way, before his works of old. 

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the begin- 
ning, or ever the earth was. 

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth ; 
when there were no fountains abounding with water. 

25 Before the mountains were settled, before the 
hills was I brought forth : 

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the 
fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 

27 When he prepared the heavens, c I was there ; 
when he set a compass upon the face of the depth ; 

28 When he established the clouds above ; when 
he strengthened the fountains of the deep ; 

29 When he gave to the sea (1 his decree, that the dc.en. 1 
waters should not pass his commandment ; when he 
appointed the foundations of the earth : 

30 Then I was e by him, as one brought up with eJo1 '" '• '• 
him; and I was daily r his delight, rejoicing always fMat.3. it. 
before him ; 

31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth ; and 
g my delights were with the sons of men. 

32 Now, therefore, hearken unto me, O ye children : 
for h blessed are they that keep my ways. 

33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and ' refuse it not. 

34 Blessed is the man that k heareth me, ' watching 
daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 

35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall 
obtain favour of the Lord. 

38 But he that sinncth against me m wrongeth his 
own soul : all they that n hate me love death.

The discipline of wisdom. 

CHAP. IX. 

The discipline and doctrine of wisdom. 

WISDOM hath builded ■ her house, she 
b hewn out her seven c pillars : 

2 She hath killed her d beasts ; she hath mingled 
her wine ; she hath also furnished her table 

3 She hath e sent forth her f maidens : she crieth 
15 Rom - 10> upon the highest places of the city, 
f 2 Cor. 5, 4 Whoso is E simple, let him turn in hither : as for 
20 - him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 
|_ at. , 5 b Q om6) eat Q f m y i b rea( j j an d drink of the wine 

h Mat. n, which I have mingled. 

fjohn 6, 27. 6 k Forsake the foolish, and live ; and go in the way 

k-Psai. 119, of understanding. 

7 He that reproveth ! a scorner getteth to himself 
shame ; and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth 
himself a blot. 

8 m Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee : re- 
buke n a wise man, and he will love thee. 

9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet 
wiser ; teach a just man, and he will ° increase in 
learning. 

10 p The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wis- 
dom ; and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 

1 1 For q by me thy days shall be multiplied, and 
the years of thy life shall be increased. 

1 2 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise r for thyself: 
but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it. 

1 3 IT A foolish woman is clamorous ; she is simple, 
and s knoweth nothing. 

14 For she * sitteth at the door of her house, on a 
seat in the high places of the city, 

1 5 To call passengers who u go right on their ways ; 

1 6 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither : and as 
for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 

1 7 x Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in 
secret is pleasant. 

1 8 But he knoweth not that the y dead are there ; 
and that her guests are in the depths of hell. 

CHAP. X. 

From this chapter to the Jive and twentieth, are sundry 
observations of moral virtues, and their contrary vices. 

THE Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh 
a glad father : but a foolish son is the a heaviness 
of his mother. 

2 Treasures of wickedness b profit nothing : but 
c righteousness delivereth from death. 

3 The Lord will d not suffer the soul of the right- 
eous to famish : but he casteth away the substance of 
the wicked. 

4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand : 
but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. 

5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son : hit 
he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. 

6 e Blessings are upon the head of the just: but 
violence f covereth the mouth of the wicked. 

7 5 The memory of the just is blessed : but the 
h name of the wicked shall rot. 

8 The wise in heart will receive commandments : 
but ' a prating fool shall fall. 

9 He that walketh uprightly walketh k surely : but 
he that perverteth his ways shall be ' known. 

10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow ; 
but a prating fool shall fall. 

1 1 The mouth of a righteous man is a m well of life : 
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 

1 2 Hatred stirrelh up strifes : but n love covereth 
all sins, c-

PROVERBS. Observations on morat virtues, Sfc. 

13 In the lips of him that hath understanding "wis- 
dom is found : but a p rod is for the back of him that 
is void of understanding. 

1 4 Wise men <» lay up knowledge : but the mouth 
of the foolish is near destruction. 

1 5 The rich man's wealth is r his strong city : the 
destruction of the poor is their poverty. 

1 6 The labour of the righteous s tendeth to life ; the 
t fruit of the wicked to sin. 

1 7 He is in the u way of life that x keepeth instruc- t ^?*'|' 23 
tion: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. u. a '' ' ' 

18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he *Mat.7,24 
that uttereth y a slander, is a fool. y p s . 15, 3. 

19 In the z multitude of words there wanteth not zJames3,2. 
sin : but he that refraineth his lips 2s wise. 

20 The tongue of the just is as a choice silver : b the 
heart of the wicked is little worth. 

21 The lips of the righteous c feed many : but fools 
die for want of wisdom. 

22 The blessing of the Lord, d it maketh rich ; and d Ps. 27, 1, 
he addeth e no sorrow with it. 

23 It is f as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a 
man of understanding hath wisdom. 

24 The fear of the wicked, it shall g come upon him : 
but the desire of the righteous shall be h granted. 

25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked 
' no more : but the righteous is k an everlasting foun- 
dation. 

26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the 
eyes, so is the ' sluggard to them that send him. 

27 The fear of the Lord prolongeth days : but the 
years of the wicked shall be m shortened. 

28 n The hope of the righteous shall be gladness : but 
the ° expectation of the wicked shall perish. 

29 The way of the Lord is strength to the upright ; ° Job 8 - 13 * 
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. 

30 The righteous shall p never be removed : but the pPs. 125,2. 
wicked shall not inhabit the earth. 

31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom : 
but the froward tongue shall be cut out. 

32 The lips of the righteous know what is q ac- 9**J*®?_$ 
ceptable : but the mouth of the . wicked speuketh 
frowardness. 

CHAP. XI. 
a FALSE balance is abomination to the Lord : 
but a just weight is his delight. 

2 When pride cometh, then cometh b shame : but 
with the c lowly is wisdom. 

3 The integrity of the upright shall d guide them : dPs.25,21. 
but the perverseness of transgressors shall e destroy e cb ~ i°i 5 - 
them. 

4 Riches f profit not in the day of wrath : but g right- 
eousness delivereth from death. 

5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his 
way ; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 

6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver 
them : but transgressors h shall be taken in their own hEcd.10,8

7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall

Of sundry moral virtues, CHAP. 

1 1 By the blessing of the upright the city is ° exalted : 
but it is overthrown p by the mouth of the wicked. 

1 2 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neigh- 
bour : but a man of understanding q holdeth his peace. 

13 A tale-bearer r revealeth secrets : but he that is 
q i Cor. 13, Q f a f a i tn f u i S p U ^ concealeth the matter. 

1 4 Where no counsel is, the people s fall : but in 
the multitude of counsellors there is safety. 

1 5 He that is l surety for a stranger shall smart '/op. 
it : and he that hateth suretiship is sure. 

1 6 A gracious woman u retaineth honour ; and strong 
men retain riches. 

1 7 The merciful man doeth good x to his own soul : 
but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. 

1 8 The wicked worketh y a deceitful work : but to 
him that soweth righteousness shall be z a sure reward 

1 9 As righteousness a tendeth to life ; so he that 
pursueth evil, pursueth it to his own death. 

20 They that are of a froward heart are b abomi- 
nation to the Lord : but such as are upright in their 
way are c his delight. 

21 Though d hand join in hand, the wicked shall 
not be unpunished : but the e seed of the righteous 
shall be delivered. 

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a 
fair woman which is without discretion. 

23 The desire of the righteous is f only good : but 
the expectation of the wicked * is wrath. 

24 There is that h scattereth, and yet increaseth ; 
and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but 
it tendeth to poverty. 

25 ' The liberal soul shall be made fat : and he that 
watereth shall be watered also himself. 

26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse 
him : but blessing shall be upon the head of him that 
selleth it. 

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth fa- 
vour : but he that seeketh mischief, it shall k come 
unto him. 

28 He that ' trusteth in his riches shall fall : but the 
righteous shall m flourish as a branch. 

29 He that n troubleth his own house shall inherit 
the wind: and the fool shall be ° servant to the wise 
of heart. 

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life ; and 
he that p winneth souls is wise. 

31 Behold, the righteous shall be q recompensed in 
the earth : ' much more the wicked and the sinner. 

CHAP. XII. 
HOSO loveth instruction a loveth knowledge : 
but he that hateth reproof is b brutish. 

2 A good man, obtained) favour of the Lord : but 
a man of c wicked devices will he condemn. 

3 A man shall not be established J by wickedness : 
but the root of the righteous shall e not be moved. 

4 f A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband : 
but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his 
bones. 

5 The thoughts of the righteous are E right : but the 
counsels of the wicked are h deceit. 

6 The words of the wicked are to ' lie in wait for 
blood: but the mouth of the upright shall k deliver 
them. 

7 The wicked are overthrown, and ' are not : but 
the house of the righteous m shall stand. 

8 A man shall be commended n according to his 
wisdom : but he that is of a perverse heart shall be 
despised.

XII, XIII. and their contrary vices 

9 He that is despised, and hath p a servant, is better 
than he that q honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. 

10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast : 
but the tender mercies of the wicked are r cruel. 

1 1 He that s tilleth his land shall be satisfied with 
bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of ^ 1Saml, » 
understanding. s Gen. 3, 19. 

1 2 The wicked desireth the * net of evil men : but l Num. 22, 
the root of the righteous u yieldeth fruit. uVcor. 10, 

1 3 The wicked is x snared by the transgression of 24- 
his lips : but the just shall come out of trouble. xDan.6,24. 

1 4 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit 
of his mouth ; and the >' recompense of a man's hands y isa. 3, 11. 
shall be rendered unto him. 

1 5 The way of a fool 'is right in his z own eyes : but 
he that a hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. 



16 A fool's wrath is b presently known: but a 
prudent man c covereth shame. 

1 7 He that speaketh truth d sheweth forth righteous- 
ness : but a false witness deceit.

1 8 There is that speaketh like the e piercings of a ei Sam. 22, 



sword : but the tongue of the wise is health. 

1 9 The lip of truth shall be f established for ever : 
but a lying tongue is but for g a moment. 

20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine 
evil : but to the counsellors h of peace is joy. 

21 There shall ' no evil happen to the just: but 
the wicked shall be k filled with mischief. 

22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord : but 
they that ' deal truly are his m delight. 

23 A prudent man n concealeth knowledge : but 
the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. 

24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule : but 
the slothful shall be ° under tribute. 

25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it p stoop : 
but q a good word maketh it glad. 

26 The righteous is 'more excellent than his neigh- 
bour : but the way of the wicked s seduceth them. 

27 The slothful man * roasteth not that which he 
took in hunting : but the substance of a diligent man 
u is precious. 

28 In the way of righteousness is life ; and in the 
pathway thereof there is no death. 

CHAP. XIII. 

A WISE son heareth his father's instruction : but 
a a scorner heareth not rebuke. 

2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his b mouth: 
but the soul of the transgressors shall c eat violence. 

3 He that d keepeth his mouth keepeth his life : but 
he that e openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. 

4 The soul of the sluggard f desireth, and hath 
nothing : but the soul of the g diligent shall be made 
fat. 

5 A righteous man b hateth lying : but a wicked 
man is ' loathsome, and cometh to shame. 

6 Righteousness k keepeth him that is upright in 
the way : but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. 

7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath 
nothing; there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath 
great riches. 

8 The ' ransom of a man's life are his riches : but 
the poor heareth not rebuke. 

9 The light of the righteous m rejoiceth : but the 
lamp of the wicked shall n be put out. 

10 Only by pride cometh contention : but with the 
well-advised is wisdom. 

1 1 ° Wealth gotten ''by vanity shall be diminished : 
but he that gathered) by labour shall « increase.

2 He that c walketh in his uprightness feareth the

3 In the mouth of the foolish is e a rod of pride :

6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and k findeth it not :

7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when 
thou m perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. 

8 The wisdom of the prudent is n to understand

9 Fools make a mock at sin : but among the

20 The poor is m hated even of his own neighbour : 
but the rich hath " many friends. 

21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but 
he that hath mercy on the poor, ° happy is he. 

22 Do they not err that devise evil ? but 
and truth shall be to them that devise good. 

23 In all labour there is profit : but the talk of the

24 The crown of the wise is their riches : but the 
foolishness of fools is folly. 

25 A true witness delivereth souls : but a deceitful 
witness speaketh lies.

9 The ° way of the wicked is an abomination unto

10 Correction is q grievous unto him that forsaketh

Of sundry moral virtues, 

14 The heart of him that hath understanding | 
y seeketh knowledge : but the mouth of fools z feed- 
eth on foolishness. 

1 5 All the days of the afflicted are a evil : but he 
that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. 

16 b Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than 
great treasure and trouble therewith. 

17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than 
c a stalled ox and hatred therewith. 

18 d A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that 
is e slow to anger appeaseth strife. 

1 9 The way of the slothful man is f as a hedge of 
thorns : but the way of the righteous is made s plain. 

20 A wise son maketh a glad father : but a foolish 
man despiseth his mother. 

21 h Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom : 
but a man of understanding ' walketh uprightly. 

22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed : but 
in the k multitude of counsellors they are established. 

23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth ; 
1 1 Sam. 25, and a word spoken ' in due season, how good is it! 

24 The way of life is m above to the wise, that he 
may depart from hell beneath. 

25 The Lord will " destroy the house of the proud : 
but he will establish the border of the widow. 

26 ° The thoughts of the wicked are an abomina- 
tion to the Lord : but the words of the pure are 
p pleasant words. 

27 He that is greedy of gain q troubleth his own 
house : but he that hateth gifts shall live. 

28 The heart of the righteous r studieth to answer : 
but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. 

29 The Lord is far s from the wicked : but he 
1 heareth the prayer of the righteous. 

30 The light of the eyes rejoieeth the heart ; and 
u a good report maketh the bones fat. 

31 The ear that heareth the x reproof of life abi- 
deth among the wise. 

32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: 
fh^g 3, , I 4 ' but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. 

' The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wis- 
and y before honour is humility. 
CHAP. XVI. 
HE a preparations of the heart in man, and the 
b answer of the tongue, is from the Lord. 

2 All the ways of a man are c clean in his own 
eyes : but the Lord d weigheth the spirits. 

3 e Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy 
f thoughts shall be established. 

4 The Lord hath made all things z for himself; 
yea, even the wicked h for the day of evil. 

5 Every one that is ' proud in heart is an abomina- 
tion to the Lord : though k hand join in hand, he shall 
not be unpunished. 

6 By mercy and truth iniquity is ' purged ; and by 
the m fear of the Lord men depart from evil. 

7 When a man's ways n please the Lord, he ma- 
keth even his ° enemies to be at peace with him. 

8 p Better is a little with righteousness, than great 
revenues q without right. 

9 A man's heart r deviseth his way : but. the Lord 
8 directeth his steps. 

10 ' A divine sentence is in the lips of the ki 
his mouth u transgresseth nut in judgment. 

11 x A just weighl and balance are the Lord's ; all 
the weights of the bag are his work. 

12 // is an abomination to kings to commit wick- 
^t 6. edness; for the y throne is established by righteousness.

and their contrary 

13 Righteous lips are the "■ delight of kings; and 
they love him that speaketh right. 

14 The a wrath of a king is as messengers of death; 
but a wise man will b paciiy it. 

1 5 In the c light of the king's countenance is life ; 
and his favour is as a cloud of the d latter rain. 

1 6 How much better is it to get wisdom e than gold? 
and to get understanding rather to be chosen than 
silver ? 

1 7 f The highway of the upright is to depart from 
evil : he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. 

1 8 Pride gocth before destruction, and a haughty 
spirit before a fall. 

1 9 Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the low- 
ly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. 

20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find 
E good ; and whoso h trusteth in the Lord, happy is he. 

21 The ' wise in heart shall be called prudent ; and 
the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. 

22 Understanding is k a well-spring of life unto him 
that hath it : but the ' instruction of fools is folly. 

23 m The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and 
addeth learning to his lips. 

24 n Pleasant words are as a honey-comb, ° sweet 
to the soul, and p health to the bones. 

25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man ; 
but the end thereof are the ways of death. 

26 He that q laboureth, laboureth for himself; for 
his mouth craveth it of him. 

27 An ungodly man r diggeth up evil ; and in his 
s lips there is as a burning fire. 

28 A froward man soweth strife ; and l a whis- 
perer separateth chief friends. 

29 u A violent man x enticeth his neighbour, and 
y leadeth him into the way that is not good. 

30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things ; 
moving his lips, he bringeth evil to pass. 

31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be 
found iri the way of righteousness. 

32 He that is z slow to anger is better than the 
mighty ; and he that a ruleth his spirit than he that 
taketh a city. 

33 The b lot is cast into the lap ; but the whole 
c disposing thereof is of the Lord. 

CHAP. XVII. 

BETTER is a a dry morsel, and quietness there- 
with, than a house full of b sacrifices with strife. 

2 c A wise servant shall have rule over a son that 
causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance 
among the brethren. 

3 The fining-pot is for silver, and the (l furnace for 
gold : but the Lord e trieth the hearts. 

4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips ; and a 
liar giveth ear r to a naughty tongue. 

5 Whoso g mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker; 
and he that h is glad at calamities shall not be un- 
punished. 

6 ' Children's children are the crown of old men ; 
and the glory of children are k their fathers. 

7 Excellent speech becometh ' not a fool : much 
less do lying lips a prince. 

8 A gift is as a precious stone in ihe eyes of hiin 
that hath it; whithersoever it turneth, m il prospereth. 

9 He that n eovcreth a transgression seeketh love : 
but he that ° repeateth a matter separateth very 
friends. 

10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than 
[> a hundred stripes into a fool.

J Acts 7, 54. depart from his house. 

14 x The beginning of strife is as when one let- 
teth out water ; therefore leave off contention y before 
it be meddled with. 

15 He that z justifieth the wicked, and he that 
a condemneth the just, even they both are abomination 
to the Lord. 

1 6 Wherefore is there b a price in the hand of a fool 
to get wisdom, seeing he hath c no heart to it ? 

1 7 A friend loveth d at all times, and a brother is 
born e for adversity. 

18 A man void of understanding striketh hands, 
and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. 

1 9 He loveth transgression that f loveth strife : and 
e i Sam. 25, h e that g exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. 

20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good : 
h Jam. 3, 8. and he that hath h a perverse tongue falleth into mis- 
chief. 

2 1 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow ; 
and the father of a fool hath ' no joy. 

22 k A merry heart doeth good like a medicine : but 
1 a broken spirit drieth the bones. 

23 A wicked man taketh a gift m out of the bosom 
n to pervert the ways of judgment. 

24 Wisdom is ° before him that hath understand- 
ing : but the eyes of a fool are in the p ends of the earth. 

25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and q bit- 
terness to her that bare him. 

26 Also to punish the just is T not good, nor to strike 
princes for equity. 

27 He that hath knowledge s spareth his words ; 
and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. 

28 Even a fool when he l holdeth his peace is 
counted wise ; and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed 
a man of understanding. 

CHAP. XVIII. 

THROUGH desire a man, having a separated him- 
self, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. 

2 A fool hath b no delight in understanding, but 
that c his heart may discover itself. 

3 When the u wicked cometh, then cometh also 
contempt, and with e ignominy reproach. 

4 The words of a man's mouth are f as deep 
waters, and the well-spring of wisdom as a flowing 
brook. 

5 It is not good s to accept the person of the wicked, 
to overthrow the righteous in judgment. 

6 A fool's lips h enter into contention, and his 
mouth calleth for strokes. 

7 A fool's mouth is his ' destruction, and his lips 
are the k snare of his soul. 

8 The words of a tale-bearer are as m wounds, and 
they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. 

9 He also that is n slothful in his work is brother to 
him that is a great waster. 

10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the 
righteous ° runneth into it, and is p safe. 

1 1 The rich man's q wealth is his strong city, and 
as a high wall in his own conceit. 

1 2 Before destruction the r heart of man is haughty,

3 It is an honour for a man c to cease from strife :

25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which 
is holy, and s after vows to make inquiry.

2 Every way of a man is c right in his own eyes : c Luke ie,

3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable

4 A high look, and a proud heart, and the || plow-

5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plen-

Of sundry moral virtues, PRO VERBS. 

24 Proud and haughty scorner ts his name, who 
dealeth in y proud wrath. 

25 The desire of the slothful z killeth him; for his 
hands refuse to lahour. 

26 He coveteth greedily all the day long : but the 
righteous a giveth and spareth not. 

27 The sacrifice of the b wicked is abomination : how 
much more, n-hen he bringeth it with a wicked mind? 

28 A false witness shall perish : but the man that 
heareth speaketh constantly. 

29 A wicked man c hardeneth his face : but as for 
the upright, he directeth his way. 

30 There is no d wisdom, nor understanding, nor 
counsel, against the Lord. 

31 The e horse is prepared against the day of battle : 
f isa. so, l. but f safety is of the Lord. 

CHAP. XXII. 
a GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great 
riches, and loving favour rather than silver and 
gold. 

2 The rich and poor b meet together : the Lord is 
the c maker of them all. 

3 A prudent man '' foreseeth the evil, and hideth 
himself: but the simple e pass on, and are punished 

4 By humility, and the fear of the Lord, f are riches, 
and honour, and life. 

5 g Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward 
he that doth keep his soul shall be h far from them. 

6 ' Train up a child in the way he should go ; and 
when he is old, he will k not depart from it. 

7 The rich ! ruleth over the poor, and the borrower 
is servant to the lender. 

8 He that m soweth iniquity shall reap vanity ; and 
the rod of his anger shall fail. 

9 He that hath " a bountiful eye shall be blessed ; for 
he giveth of his bread to the poor. 

1 Cast out the ° scorner, and contention shall go 
out ; yea, strife and reproach shall cease. 

1 1 He that loveth v pureness of heart, for the grace 
of his lips the q king shall be his friend. 

1 2 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge ; and 
he r overthroweth the words of the transgressor. 

1 3 The slothful man saith, There is 3 a lion without, 
I shall be slain in the streets. 

1 4 The mouth of strange women is t a deep pit 
uEcci.7,26. he that is u abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein. 

1 5 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child , 
but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. 

1 6 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, 
and he that K giveth to the rich, shall surely come to 
want. 

1 7 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the 
wise, and apply thy heart unto y my knowledge. 

18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them 
within thee ; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. 

1 9 That z thy trust may be in the Lord, I have 
made known to thee this day, even to thee. 

20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in 
counsels and knowledge, 

2 1 That I might make thee know the certainty of 
the a words of truth, that thou mightest answer the 
words of truth to them that send unto thee ? 

22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor 5 neither 
b oppress the afflicted in the gate ; 

23 For the Lord will c plead their cause, and u spoil 
the soul of those that spoiled them. 

24 Make no friendship with an angry man, and with 
a e furious man thou shalt not go ;

HEN thou sittest to eat with a ruler, a consider 
diligently what is before thee ; 

2 And put b a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man 
given to appetite. 

3 Be not desirous of his dainties ; for they are 
c deceitful meat. 

4 Labour not to be u rich ; cease from thine e own 
wisdom. 

5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which f is not 1 
for riches certainly make themselves wings ; they fly 
away, as an eagle toward heaven. 

6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an g evil 
eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats : 

7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he : Eat 
and drink, h saith he to thee ; but his heart is not with 
thee. 

8 ' The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou 
vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. 

9 Speak not in the ears of a fool ; for he will de- 
spise the wisdom of thy words. 

1 Remove not the old landmark ; and enter not 
into the k fields of the fatherless : 

1 1 For their 1 Redeemer is mighty ; he shall plead 
their cause with thee. 

1 2 m Apply thy heart unto instruction, and thine 
ears to the words of knowledge. 

1 3 Withhold not n correction from the child : for if 
thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 

1 4 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt 
deliver his soul ° from hell. 

1 5 My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall 
p rejoice, even mine ; 

1 6 Yea, my reins shall rejoice when thy lips speak 
right things. 

1 7 Let not thy heart q envy sinners : but be thou in 
the fear of the Lord all the day long. 

1 8 For surely there is an r end ; and thine expec- 
tation shall not be cut off. 

1 9 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and 8 guide 
thy heart in the way. 

20 Be not among * wine-bibbers ; among riotous 
eaters of flesh : 

21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to 
poverty ; and drowsiness shall clothe a man with u rags. 

22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and 
despise not thy mother when she is old. 

23 x Buy the truth, and y sell it not ; also wisdom, 
and instruction, and understanding. 

24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice ; 
and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. 

25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and 
she that bare thee shall rejoice. 

26 My son, z give me thy heart, and let tliine eyes 
observe my ways.

woman is a narrow pit.

4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled 
with all precious and pleasant riches. 

5 A wise man is e strong ; yea, a man of knowledge

6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy f war ; 
and in multitude of counsellors there is safety. 

7 Wisdom is s too high for a fool ; he openeth not

8 He that h deviseth to do evil shall be called a

9 The ' thought of foolishness is sin ; and the scorner 
is an abomination to men.

23 These things also belong to the wise. // is not 
good to have c respect of persons in judgment. 

24 He that saith unto the a wicked, Thou art right- 
eous 5 him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor 
him : 

25 But to them that e rebuke him shall be delight, 
and a good blessing shall come upon them. 

26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a r right 
answer. 

27 g Prepare thy work without; and make it fit for 
thyself in the field ; and afterwards build thy house. 

28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour h with- 
out cause ; and deceive not with thy lips. 

29 Say not, I will ' do so to him as he hath done to 
me ; I will render to the man according to his work. 

30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the 
vineyard of the man void of understanding ; 

31 And lo, it was all grown over with k thorns, and 
nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone 
wall thereof was broken down. 

32 Then I saw, and considered it well ; I looked 
upon it, and received instruction. 

33 ' Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little fold- 
ing of the hands to sleep : 

34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth ; 
and thy want as an armed man. 

CHAP. XXV. 

Observations about kings, and about avoiding quarrels. 

THESE are also proverbs of Solomon, which the 
a men of Hezekiah, king of Judah, copied out. 

2 It is the glory of God to b conceal a thing : but 
the honour of kings is to c search out a matter. 

3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, 
and the heart of kings is d unsearchable. 

4 Take away the e dross from the silver, and there 
shall come forth a vessel for the finer. 

5 f Take away the wicked from before the king, 
and his throne shall be established in righteousness. 

6 s Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, 
and stand not in the place of great men : 

7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come 
up hither, than that thou shouldest be put lower in the 
h presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. 

8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not 
what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour 
hath put thee \ to shame. 

9 k Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself, 
and discover not a secret to another ; 

10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and 
thine infamy turn not away. 

1 1 A word ' fitly spoken is like apples of gold in 
pictures of silver. 

12 As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine 
gold, so is a wise reprover upon an m obedient ear. 

13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is 
a faithful messenger to them that send him ; for he 
n refresheth the soul of his masters. 

1 4 Whoso boasteth himself of ° a false gift is like 
clouds and wind without rain. 

1 5 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and 
p a soft tongue breaketh the bone. 

16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is 
i sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and 
vomit it. 

17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house ; 
lest he be r weary of thee, and so hate thee. 

18 A man that beareth false witness against his 
neighbour is a maul, and a 3 sword, and a sharp arrow.

■atious about fools. 

19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trou- 
ble is like l a broken tooth, and a foot out of joints 

20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold wea- 
ther, and as vinegar upon nitre ; so is he that u singeth 
songs to a heavy heart. 

21 if thine enemy be x hungry, give him bread to 
eat ; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink : 

22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, 
and the Lord shall y reward thee. 

23 The north wind drive th away rain ; so doth an 
angry countenance a z backbiting tongue. 

24 It is a better to dwell in a corner of the house- 
top, than with a brawling woman, and in a wide house. 

25 As cold waters to a b thirsty soul, so is c good 
news from a far country. 

26 A righteous man d falling down before the wick- 
ed, is as a troubled fountain and a corrupt spring. 

27 It is not good to eat much honey ; so for men to 
search their e own glory is not glory. 

28 He that hath r no rule over his own spirit is like 
a city that is broken down, and without walls. 

CHAP. XXVI. 

Observations about fools, sluggards, and busy-bodies. 
S snow in summer, and as rain in harvest ; 
a honour is not seemly for a fool. 

2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow 
flying ; so the b curse causeless shall not come. 

3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and c a 
rod for the fool's back. 

4 d Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest 
thou also be like unto him. 

5 Answer a fool e according to his folly, lest he be 
wise in his own conceit. 

6 He that sendeth f a message by the hand of a fool, 
cuttetri off the feet, and drinketh damage. 

7 The legs of the lame are not equal ; so is a para- 
ble in the mouth of fools. 

8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling ; so is he 
that g giveth honour to a fool. 

9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard ; 
so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 

1 The great God, that formed all things, both re- 
warded! the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. 

1 1 As a dog b returneth to his vomit ; so a fool 
returneth to his folly. 

1 2 Seest thou a man i wise in his own conceit ? 
there is more hope of a fool than of him. 

1 3 The slothful man saith, There is k a lion in the 
way, a lion is in the streets. 

14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the 
slothful upon his bed. 

1 5 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom ; it 
1 grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. 

16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than 
seven men that can m render a reason. 

1 7 He that passeth by, and n meddleth with strife 
belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by 
the ears. 

18 As a mad man, who casteth firebrands, arrows, 
and death ; 

1 9 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and 
saith, Am not I ° in sport 1 

20 Where no p wood is, there the fire goeth out; so 
where there is no tale-bearer, the strife ceaseth. 

21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire ; 
so is a q contentious man to kindle strife. 

22 The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and 
tliey go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart ; so doth 
the m sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. 

1 n Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, for- 
sake not ; neither go into thy brother's house in the 
day of thy calamity : for better is a neighbour that is 
near than a brother far off. 

1 1 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that 
I may answer him that reproacheth me. 

1 2 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth

and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

1 5 A continual dropping in a very rainy day, and

1 6 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the

ness depart from him.

CHAP. XXVIII. 

General observations of impiety, and religious integrity. 
IHE a wicked flee when no man pursueth : but 
the righteous are b bold as a lion. 

2 For the transgression of a land many are the) 
princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and 
knowledge the state thereof shall be c prolonged. 

3 A poor man that d oppresseth the poor is like a 
sweeping rain, which leaveth no food. 

4 They that forsake the law e praise the wicked : 
but such as keep the law f contend with them. 

5 Evil men s understand not judgment : but they 
that seek the Lord h understand all things. 

6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, 
than he that is perverse t in his ways, though he be rich. 

7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son : but he that 
is a companion of riotous men, shameth his father. 

8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his sub- 
stance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. 

9 He that * tumeth away his ear from hearing the 
law, even his prayer shall be abomination. 

1 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an 
evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit : but 
the upright shall have k good things in possession. 

1 1 The rich man is wise ' in his own conceit ; but 
the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 

12 When righteous men do m rejoice, there is great 
glory : but when the wicked rise, a man is n hidden. 

1 3 He that ° covereth his sins shall not prosper : but 
whoso p confessethandforsaketh^em. shall have mercy. 

1 4 Happy is the man that q feareth always : but he 
that r hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. 

15 As a s roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is ' a 
wicked ruler over the poor people. 

1 6 The prince that wanteth understanding is also 
a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness 
shall prolong his days. 

1 7 A man that doth violence to * he blood of any 
person shall fly to the pit ; let no man stay him. 

18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but 
he that is " perverse in his ways shall fall at once. 

19 He that tilleth his land shall have x plenty of 
bread : but he that followeth after vain persons shall 
have y poverty enough. 

20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings : but 
he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. 

21 To have respect of persons is not good ; for, for 
a piece of bread that man will transgress. 

22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and 
7 considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. 

23 He that a rebuketh a man, afterwards shall find 
more favour than he that flattcreth with the tongue. 

24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and 
saith, It is no transgression ; the same is. the com- 
panion of a destroyer. 

25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife : but 
he that b putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat. 

26 He that c trusteth in his own heart is a fool : but 
whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. 

27 He that giveth unto the poor shall d not lack 
but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. 

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves 
but when they perish, the righteous e increase. 



CHAP. XXIX. 

Observations of public and private government. 
E that, being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, 
shall suddenly be a destroyed, and that without 
remedy. 

2 When + he righteous are b in authority, the people 
rejoice : but when the wicked c beareth rule, the people 
mourn. 

3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father : but 
he that keepeth company with harlots d spendeth his 
substance. 

4 The king e by judgment establisheth the land : but 
he that receiveth f gifts overthroweth it. 

5 A man that E flattereth his neighbour h spreadeth 
a net for his feet. 

6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a 
snare : but the righteous doth ' sing and rejoice. 

7 The righteous k considereth the cause of the poor : 
but the wicked regardeth not to know it. 

8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare : but wise 
1 men turn away wrath. 

9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, 
m whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. 

1 The blood-thirsty n hate the upright : but the 
just seek his soul. 

1 1 A fool uttereth ° all his mind : but a wise man 
keepeth it in till afterwards. 

12 If a ruler hearken '' to lies, all his servants arc 
wicked. 

13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together : 
the Lord q lighteneth both their eyes. 

14 The king that r faithfully judgeth the poor, his 
throne shall be established for ever. 

15 The rod and reproof give wisdom : but a child 
s left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. 

16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression 
increaseth : but the righteous shall see their l fall. 

17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest : 
yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. 

1 8 Where there is no vision, the people " perish : 
but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. 

19 A servant will x not be corrected by words : for 
though he y understand, he will not answer. 

20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words ? 
there is more hope of a fool than of him. 

21 He that z delicately bringeth up his servant from 
a child, shall have him become his son at the length. 

22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious 
man aboundeth in transgression. 

23 A man's pride shall bring him a low : but honour 
shall uphold the humble in spirit. 

24 Whoso is h partner with a thief hateth his own 
soul : he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. 

25 The c fear of man bringeth a snare : but whoso 
putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. 

26 Many seek the ruler's favour ; but d every man's 
judgment cometh from the Lord. 

27 An unjust man is an abomination to the e just ; and 
he that is upright in 1 he way is abomination to the wicked.

6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he h reprove 
thee, and thou be found a liar. 

7 Two things have I required of thee ; ' deny me 
them not before I die : 

8 Remove far from me vanity and lies ; give me 
neither poverty nor riches ; feed me with k food con- 
venient for me ; 

9 Lest I be full, and ' deny thee, and say, Who is 
the Lord ? or lest I be m poor, and steal, and take the 
name of my God in vain. 

10 n Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he 
curse thee, and thou be found guilty. 

1 1 There is a generation that curseth their father, 
and doth not bless their mother. 

1 2 There is a generation that are pure in their 
own eyes, and yet is not washed from their p filthiness. 

1 3 There is a generation, O how q lofty are their 
eyes ! and their eye-lids are lifted up. 

1 4 There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, 
and their jaw-teeth as knives, to r devour the poor 
from off the earth, and the needy from among men. 

15 The horse-leech hath two daughters, crying, 
9 Give, give. There are three things that are never 
satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough : 

16 The grave 5 and the ' barren womb ; the earth 
that is not filled with water ; and the fire, that saith 
not, It is enough. 

17 The eye that u mocketh at his father, and despi- 
seth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall 
pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. 

18 There be three things which are too * wonderful 
for me, yea, four which 1 know not : _ 

19 The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a 
serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of 
the sea, and the way of a man with a maid. 

20 Such is the way of an y adulterous woman ; 
she eateth, and * wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have 
a done no wickedness. 

21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for 
four which it cannot bear : 

22 For a servant when he reigneth, and a fool 
when he is b filled with meat ; 

23 For an odious woman when she is married, and 
a handmaid that is heir to her mistress. 

24 There be four things which are c little upon the 
earth, but they are exceeding wise : 

25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they pre- 
pare their meat in the summer ; 

26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they 
their houses in the d rocks 5 

27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all 
of them by bands ; 

28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is 
in kings' palaces. 

29 There be three things which go well, yea, four 
are comely in going : 

30 t A lion, which is e strongest among beasts, and 
turneth not away for any ; 

31 A greyhound ; a he-goat also ; and a king, 
against whom there is no rising up. 

32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or

LemuePs lesson of chastity 

if thou hast f thought evil, lay thy hand upon thy mouth. 
33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth but- 
ter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood ; 
so the g forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. 
CHAP. XXXI. 

Lemuel's lesson of chastity and temperance. 

THE words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that 
a his mother taught him. 

2 What, my son ? and what, the son of my b womb ? 
and what, the son of c my vows ? 

3 Give not thy d strength unto women, nor thy 
ways to that which e destroyeth kings. 

4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings 
to drink wine, nor for princes strong drink ; 

5 Lest they drink, and f forget the law, and per- ( Deut 17, 
vert the judgment of any of the afflicted. Hosea4,n. 

6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, 
and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 

7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and re- 
member his misery no more. . 

8 Open thy mouth for the g dumb in the cause of s Job 29, 
all such as are h appointed to destruction. 

9 Open thy mouth, ' judge righteously, and plead 
the cause of the poor and needy. 

1 Who can find k a virtuous woman 1 for her 
price is far above rubies. 

1 1 The heart of her ' husband doth safely m trust |Eph. 5, 23. 
in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 

12 She will do him n good, and not evil, all the 
days of her life. 

1 3 She seeketh wool and flax, ° and worketh 
p willingly with her hands. 

14 She is like the q merchants' ships, she bringeth 
her r food from afar. 

1 5 She riseth also while it is yet s night, and giveth 
meat to her household, and a ' portion to her maidens. 

1 6 She considereth a u field, and buyeth it ; with 42 
the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. 

17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and 
x strengthened her arms. 

1 8 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good : 
her y candle goeth not out by night. 

19 She layeth her hands to the z spindle, and her 
hands hold the distaff. 

20 She a stretcheth out her hand to the poor ; yea, 
she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. 

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household; 
for all her household are clothed with scarlet. 

22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry ; her b Rev. 19,8. 
clothing is silk and purple. 

23 Her husband c is known in the gates, when he 
sitteth among the elders of the land. 

24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it} and 
delivereth d girdles unto the merchant. 

25 e Strength and honour are her clothing ; and e Mat ie, 
she shall rejoice in time to come. 

26 She openeth her mouth f with wisdom ; and in 
her tongue is the s law of kindness. 

27 She h looketh well to the ways of her household, 
and eateth not the bread of idleness. 

28 Her ' children rise up, and call her blessed ; ' Gal - 4 < *&• 
her husband also, and he praiseth her. 

29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou 
k excellest them all. 

30 Favour is ! deceitful, and beauty is vain : but a 
woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. 

31 m Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let 
D her own works praise her in the gates.

CHAP. L 

The Preacher sheweth that all human courses are vain. 

THE words of the Preacher, the son of David, 
a king of Jerusalem. 

2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of 
vanities ; b all is vanity. 

3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which 
he c taketh under the sun? 

4 One generation passeth away, and another ge- 
neration cometh : but the d earth abideth for ever. 

5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, 
and e hasteth to his place where he arose. 

6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth 
about unto the north : it f whirleth about continu- 
ally; and the wind returneth again according to his 
circuits. 

7 All the rivers run into the sea ; yet the sea is not 
full : unto the place from whence the rivers come, 
thither they 6 return again. 

8 All things are full of labour, man cannot utter 
it : the b eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear 
filled with hearing. 

9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall 
be ; and that which is done, is that which shall be 
done : and there is no '. new thing under the sun. 

10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, 
See, k this is new? it hath been already of old time, 
which was before us. 

1 1 There is l no remembrance of former things ; 
neither shall there be any remembrance of things 
that are to come with those that shall come after. 

12 IT m I the Preacher was king over Israel in Je- 
rusalem : 

1 3 And I n gave my heart to seek and search out 
by wisdom concerning ° all things that are done under 
heaven : this sore travail hath God given to the sons 
of man, to be exercised therewith. 

1 4 I have p seen all the works that are done under 
the sun ; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of 
spirit. 

1 5 That which is q crooked cannot be made straight ; 
and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. 

16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, 
1 am come to great estate, and have gotten more wis- 
dom than. all they that have been before me in Jeru- 
salem ; yea, my heart had r great experience of 
wisdom and knowledge. 

1 7 And I s gave my heart to know wisdom, and to 
know l madness and folly : I perceived that this also 
is vexation of spirit. 

18 For in much wisdom is much u grief; and he 
that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. 

CHAP. II. 
The vanity of human courses in the works of pleasure. 

I SAID a in my heart, Go to now, I will prove thee 
with mirth ; therefore enjoy pleasure : and, behold, 
this also is b vanity. 

2 I said c of laughter, It is mad : and of mirth, 
What doeth it ? 

3 I sought in my heart to give myself unto wine, 
( u yet acquainting my heart with wisdom.) and to lay 
hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for 
the sons of men which they should do under the 
heaven all the days of their life. 

4 I e made me great works ; I builded me r houses; 
I planted me vineyards ; 



5 I made me gardens and E orchards, and I planted 
trees in them h of all kind of fruits ; 

6 I made me ' pools of water, to water therewith 
the wood that bringeth forth trees ; 

7 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants 
born in my house ; also I had k great possessions of 
great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusa- 
lem before me ; 

8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the pecu- 
liar treasure of kings and of the provinces ; I gat me 
men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of 
the sons of men, as l musical instruments, and that of 
all sorts. 

9 So I was great, and increased more than all that 
were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom m re- 
mained with me. 

1 And whatsoever n mine eyes desired I kept not 
from them ; I withheld not my heart from any joy : 
for ° my heart rejoiced in all my labour ; and this was 
my portion of all my labour. 

1 1 Then I p looked on all the works that my hands 
had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured 
to do : and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of 
spirit, and there was q no profit under the sun. 

12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and 
r madness, and folly : for what can the man do that 
cometh s after the king ? even that which hath been 
already done. 

1 3 Then I saw that * wisdom excelleth folly, as far 
as light excelleth darkness. 

14 The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the 
fool walketh in darkness : and I myself perceived also 
that u one event happeneth to them all. 

1 5 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the 
fool, so it happeneth even to me : and why was I then 
x more wise ? Then I said in my heart, that this also 
is vanity. 

1 6 For there is no remembrance of the wise more 
than of the fool for ever ; seeing that which now is, in 
the days to come shall be y forgotten. And how dieth 
the wise man ? z As the fool. 

17 Therefore I a hated life; because the work that 
is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me : for all 
is vanity and vexation of spirit. 

1 8 Yea, b 1 hated all my labour which I had taken 
under the sun ; because I should leave it unto the 
man that shall be after me. 

1 9 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise 
man c or a fool ? yet shall he have rule over all my 
labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have 
shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also 
* vanity. 

20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart e to 
despair of all the labour which I took under the sun. 

21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, 
and in knowledge, and in equity ; yet to a man that 
hath not laboured therein shall he f leave it for his 
portion. This also is vanity, and a great evil. 

22 For what hath man of g all his labour, and of 
the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured 
under the sun ? 

23 For h all his days are sorrows, and his travail 
grief: yea, his heart "taketh not ' rest in the night. 
This is also vanity. 

24 There is nothing better for a man than that he 
should eat and drink, and that he should make his

soul enjoy good in his labour, 
it was k from the hand of God. 

25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten here- 
unto more than I ? 

26 For God giveth to a man that is ' good in his 
sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy : but to the 
m sinner he giveth travail, to gather, and to heap up, 
that he may give to him that is good " before God. 
This also is vanity and vexation of spirit. 

CHAP. III. 

The excellency of God's work. 
O every thing there is a season, and a time to 
every purpose under the heaven : 

2 A time to be a bora, and a time to b die : a time 
to c plant, and a time to pluck d up that which is planted : 

3 A time e to kill, and a time to heal : a time to 
break down, and a time to build up : 

4 A time to f weep, and a time to g laugh : a time 
to mourn, and a time to dance : 

5 A time h to cast away stones, and a time to ' gather 
stones together : a time to embrace, and a time to 
k refrain from embracing. 

6 A time to get, and a time to lose : a time to keep, 
and a time to cast away : 

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew : a time to 
1 keep silence, and a time to speak : 

8 A time to love, and a time to m hate : a time of 
war, and a time of peace. 

9 n What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein 
he laboureth 1 

10 I have ° seen the travail which God hath given 
to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 

1 1 p He hath made every thing beautiful in his 
time : also he hath set the world in their heart ; so 
that no man can q find out the work that God maketh 
from the beginning to the end. 

12 I know that there is no good r in them, but for 
a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 

1 3 And also that every man should s eat and drink, 
and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 

1 4 I know that whatsoever God doeth, it shall be 
1 for ever : u nothing can be put to it, nor any thing 
taken from it : and God doeth it that men should fear 
before him. 

1 5 That which hath been is now ; and that which 
x is to be hath already been : and God requireth that 
which is past. 

1 6 And, moreover, I saw under the sun the place 
of judgment, that y wickedness was there ; and the 
place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 

1 7 I said in my heart, God shall z judge the right- 
eous and the wicked : for there is a time there for 
every purpose, and for every work. 

18 I said in my heart concerning the estate of the 
sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that 
they might see that they themselves are a beasts. 

19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befall 
eth beasts ; even one thing befalleth them : as the one 
dieth, so dieth the other ; yea, they have all one 
breath : so that a man hath b no pre-eminence above 
a beast : for all is vanity. 

20 All go unto c one place : all are of the dust, and 
all turn to dust again. 

2 1 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth d up- 
ward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward 
to the earth ? 

22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing bet- 
ter, than that a man should e rejoice in his own works; 




no b Isa. 59, 16. 



Of oppression, envy, Sfc. 

for that is his f portion : for who shall bring him to see 
what shall be after him ? 

CHAP. IV. 

Vanity is increased unto men by oppression. 
O I returned, and a considered all the oppressions 
that are done under the sun : and, behold, the 
tears of such as were oppressed, and they had b 
comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there n}™ Yi& 
was power ; but they had no comforter. 

2 Wherefore I c praised the dead which are already cMat. n,& 
dead, more than the living which are yet alive. PhiK '• 2I - 

3 Yea, better is he than both they which hath d not d Job 3, n. 
yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done 12 16 2t

neither say thou before the ' angel, that it was an error: 
wherefore should God be k angry at thy voice, and 
destroy the work of thy hands 1 

7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words 
there are also divers vanities : but ' fear thou God. 

8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and vio- 
lent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, 
marvel not at the matter : for he that is higher than 
the highest m regardeth ; and there be n higher than 
they. 

9 Moreover, the profit of the earth is for all : the 
king himself ° is served by the field. 

1 He that p loveth silver shall q not be satisfied 
with silver ; nor he that loveth abundance with in- 
crease. This is also vanity. 

1 1 When goods increase, they are increased that 
eat them : and what good is there to the r owners 
thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes ? 

1 2 The s sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether 
he eat little or much : but the abundance of the rich 
will- not suffer him to sleep. 

1 3 There is a sore evil which I have seen under 
the sun, namely, * riches kept for the owners thereof 
to their hurt. 

1 4 But those riches perish by evil travail ; and he 
begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 

15 u As he came forth of his mother's womb, 
x naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall 
take nothing of Iris labour, which he may carry away 
in his hand. 

1 6 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as 
he came so shall he go : and what profit hath he that 
hath laboured for the wind ? 

1 7 All his days also he eateth in y darkness, and 
he hath much z sorrow and wrath with his sickness. 

1 8 Behold that which I have seen : it is good and 
comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the 
good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all 
the days of his life, which God giveth him ; for it is 
his a portion. 

1 9 Every man also to whom God hath b given riches 
and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, 
and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour ; 
this is the gift of God. 

20 For he shall not much remember the days of his 
life ; because God c answereth him in the joy of his 
heart. 

CHAP. VI. 

The vanity of riches without tise. 

THERE is a an evil which I have seen under the 
sun, and it is common among men : 

2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, 
and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of 
all that he b desireth, yet God giveth him c not power 
to eat thereof, but a d stranger eateth it : this is vanity, 
and it is an evil disease. 

3 If a man e beget a hundred children, and live 
many years, so that the days of his years be many, 
and his soul be f not filled with good, and also that he 
have K no burial ; I say, that an untimely birth is 
better than he : 

4 For he h cometh in with vanity, and departeth 
in ' darkness, and his name shall be covered with 
darkness. 

5 Moreover, he hath not seen the sun, nor known 
any thing : this hath k more rest than the other. 

6 Yea, though he live ' a thousand years twice told, 
yet hath he seen no good : do not all go to one place ? 



Remedies against vanity* 



7 All the labour of man is for his m mouth, and yet 
the appetite is n not filled. 

8 For what hath the wise ° more than the fool ? 
what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the 
living ? 

9 Better is the sight of the eyes than p the wander- 
ing of the desire : this is also vanity and vexation of 
spirit. 

10 That which hath been is named already, and it 
is known that it is man: neither may he q contend 
with him that is mightier than he. 

1 1 Seeing there be many things that r increase 
vanity, what is man the better ? 

1 2 For s who knoweth what is good for man in this 
life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as 
a l shadow ? for who can tell a man what shall be after 
him under the sun ? 

CHAP. VII. 

Remedies against vanity are, a good name, patience, and 
wisdom. 

a GOOD name is better than precious ointment ; 

and the day of b death than the day of one's 
birth. 

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning than 
to go to the c house of d feasting : for that is the end of 
all men ; and the living will lay it to his heart. 

3 e Sorrow is better than laughter : for by the sad- 
ness of the countenance the heart is made better. 

4 The f heart of the wise is in the g house of mourn- 
ing : but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. 

5 It is better to hear the h rebuke of the wise, than 
for a man to hear the song of fools. 

6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot. so is 
the ' laughter of the fool. This also is vanity. 

7 Surely oppression maketh k a wise man mad ; and 
a gift destroyeth the heart. 

8 Better is the ' end of a thing than the beginning 
thereof; and_ the m patient in spirit is better than the 
proud in spirit. 

9 Be not n hasty in thy spirit to be angry : for anger 
resteth in the bosom of fools. 

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the ° for- 
mer days were better than these 1 for thou dost not 
inquire wisely concerning this. 

1 1 IT Wisdom is p good with an inheritance ; and by 
it there is profit to them that see the sun. 

1 2 For wisdom is a q defence, and r money is a 
defence : but the excellency of knowledge is, that 
wisdom giveth life to them that have it. 

13 Consider s the work of God : for who can make 
that l straight which he hath made crooked ? 

1 4 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day 
of adversity u consider : God also hath set the one over 
against the other, to the end that man should find 
nothing after him. 

1 5 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity : 
there is a just man that x perfsheth in his righteousness. 
and there is a wicked man that y prolongeth his life in 
his wickedness. 

16 Be not righteous z over-much ; neither make thy- 
self a over-wise : why shouldest thou destroy thyself? 

1 7 Be not b over-much wicked, neither be thou 
foolish : why shouldest thou die c before thy time ? 

1 8 It is good that thou shouldest d take hold of this ; 
yea, also from this withdraw not thy hand : for he 
that feareth God shall e come forth of them all. 

19 Wisdom ' strengthened the wise more than ten 
mighty men which are in the city.

20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that g doeth 
good, and sinneth not. 

21 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken, 
lest thou hear thy servant h curse thee : 

22 For oftentimes also thine own heart '' knoweth 
that k thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. 

23 All this have I l proved by wisdom : I said, 1 
will be m wise ; but it was far from me. 

24 That which is n far off, and exceeding ° deep, 
who can find it out ? 

25 I applied my heart to know, and to search, and 
to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to 
know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and 
madness : 

26 And p I find more bitter than death the woman 
whose heart q is snares and nets, and her hands as 
bands : whoso r pleaseth God shall escape from her ; 
but the sinner shall be taken by her. 

27 Behold, this have I found, (saith the Preacher,) 
counting one by one, to find out the account ; 

28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not : s one 
man among a thousand have I found ; but ' a woman 
among all those have I not found. 

29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made 
man u upright ; but they have sought out many x ir\- 
ventions. 

CHAP. VIII. 

It is better with the godly in adversity, than with the wicked 
in prosperity. 

WHO is as the a wise man ? and who knoweth 
the interpretation of a thing ? a man's wisdom 
maketh b his fare to shine, and the boldness of his face 
shall be changed. 

2 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, 
and that in regard of the c oath of God. 

3 d Be not hasty to go out of his sight : stand not in 
an evil thing ; for he doeth e whatsoever pleaseth him. 

4 Where the word of a king is, there is power ; and 
who may say unto him, f What doest thou 1 

5 Whoso g keepeth the commandment shall feel no 
evil thing : and a wise man's heart discerneth both 
h time and judgment. 

6 Because to every purpose there is time and judg- 
ment ; therefore the ' misery of man is great upon him. 

7 For he k knoweth not that which shall be : for 
who can tell him when it shall be ? 

8 There is no man that hath power over the spirit, 
to retain the spirit ; neither hath he power in the ' day 
of death ; and there is no discharge in that war ; neither 
shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. 

9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto 
every work that is done under the sun : there is a time 
wherein one man ruleth over another to his m own 
hurt. 

1 And so I saw the wicked n buried, who had come 
and gone from the ° place of the holy, and they were 
p forgotten in the city where they had so done. This 
is also vanity. 

1 1 Because sentence against an evil work is not 
executed speedily, therefore q the heart of the sons of 
men is fully set, in them to do evil. 

1 2 Though a sinner do evil a hundred r times, 
and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it 
shall be s well with them that fear God, which fear 
before him : 

1 3 But it shall * not be well with the wicked, neither 
shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow 
because he feareth not before God. 



1 4 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth ; 
that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth 
according to the u work of the wicked : again, there 
be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to 
the x work of the righteous. I said, that this also is 
vanity. 

1 5 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath 
no better thing under the sun, than y to eat, and to 
drink, and to be merry ; for that shall abide with him 
of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth 
him under the sun. 

1 6 When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and 
to see the business that is done upon the earth : (for 
also there is that neither z day nor night seeth sleep with 
his eyes :) 

1 7 Then I beheld a all the work of God, that a man 
cannot find out the work that is done under the sun ; 
because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he 
shall b not find it ; yea, further, though a wise man 
think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. 

CHAP. IX. 

, Like things happen to good and bad. 

FOR all this I considered in my heart, even n to 
declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise 
and their works, are in the hand of God : no man 
b knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before 
{hem. 

2 All things come alike to all : there is c one event 
to the righteous and to the wicked ; to the good, and 
to the clean, and to the unclean ; to him that sacri- 
ficeth, and to him that sacrificeth not : as is the good, 
so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that 
feareth an oath. 

3 This is an evil among all things that are done 
under the sun, that there is one event unto all : yea 
also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and 
t madness is in their heart while they live, and after 
that they go to the dead. 

4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is 
hope : for a a living dog is better than a dead lion. 

5 For the living e know that they shall die : but the 
dead f know not any thing, neither have they any more 
a g reward ; for the memory of them is forgotten. 

6 Also their love and their hatred, and their envy, 
is now perished ; neither have they any more h a por- 
tion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 

7 ' Go thy way, k eat thy bread with joy, and drink 
thy wine with a merry heart ; for God now accepteth 
thy works. 

8 Let thy ' garments be always white ; and let thy 
head lack no ointment. 

9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all 
the days of the m life of thy vanity, which he hath given 
thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity : for 
that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which 
thou takest under the sun. 

10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with 
D thy might ; for there is no work, nor device, nor 
knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave whither thou 
goest. 

1 1 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the "race 
is not to the swift, nor the p battle to the strong, neither 
yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of under- 
standing, nor q yet favour to men of skill ; but time 
and chance happeneth to them all. 

12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the 
fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds 
that are caught in the snare ; so are the sons of men

them. 

13 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, 
and it seemed great unto me : 

14 There was a little * city, and few men within it ; 
and there came " a great king against it, and besieged 
it, and built great bulwarks against it. 

15 Now there was found in it x a poor wise man, 
and he y by his wisdom delivered the city ; yet no man 
z remembered that same poor man. 

16 Then said I, Wisdom a is better than strength : 
nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and 
his words are not heard. 

1 7 The words of wise men are heard b in quiet, more 
than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. 

1 8 Wisdom is better than weapons of war : but 
c one sinner destroyed] much good.

3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the 
way, his wisdom faileth him, and d he saith to every 
one that he is a fool. 

4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against the^, 
leave not thy place ; for e yielding pacifieth great 
offences. 

5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, 
as an f error which proceedeth from the ruler ; 

6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the E rich sit in 
low place. 

7 I have seen h servants upon horses, and princes 
walking as servants upon the earth. 

8 He that ' diggeth a pit shall fall into it ; and 
whoso k breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 

9 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt there- 
with ; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered 
thereby. 

1 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the 
edge, then must he put to more strength : but ' wisdom 
is profitable to direct. 

1 1 Surely the m serpent will bite without enchant- 
ment ; and a babbler is no better. 

1 2 The words of a wise man's mouth aw n gracious : 
but the lips of a fool will ° swallow up himself. 

1 3 The p beginning of the words of his mouth is 
foolishness : and the end of his talk is mischievous 
madness. 

1 4 A fool also is q full of words : a man cannot tell 
what shall be; and what shall be after him who can 
tell him ? 

1 5 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of 
them ; because he knoweth not how to go to the r city. 

16 Wo to thee, O land, when thy king is s a child, 
and thy princes eat in the morning! 

1 7 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the 
son of l nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for 
strength, and not for drunkenness ! 

1 8 By much slothfulness the building decayeth ; 
and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth 
through. 

1 9 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh 
merry : but money answereth all things. 

20 u Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought ; 
and curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber : for * a

church's love unto Christ : 5 She confesseth her 
deformity. 

THE a Song of songs, which is Solomon's. 
2 Let b him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth : 
for thy c love is better than wine. 

3 Because of the d savour of thy good ointments, 
thy e name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do 
the virgins love thee. 

4 Draw me, we will r run after thee. The King 
hath brought me into his g chambers : we will be glad 
and rejoice in thee ; we will remember thy love more 
than wine : the upright .ove thee. 

5 I am black, but h comely, O ye daughters of Je- 
rusalem ; as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of 
Solomon. 

6 Look not upon me, because I am ' black, because 
the sun hath looked upon me : my k mother's children 
were angry with me ; they made me the keeper of 
the vineyards ; but mine own vineyard have 1 not 
kept. 

7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where 
thou ' feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at 
noon : for why should I be as one that turneth aside 
by the flocks of thy companions ? 

8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, 
go thy way forth by the m footsteps of the flock, and 
feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. 

9 I have compared thee, O n my love, to a company 
of horses in Pharaoh's ° chariots. 

1 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy 
neck with p chains of gold. 

1 1 i We will make thee borders of gold, with studs 
of silver. 

12 While the King sitteth at his r table, my spike- 
nard sendeth forth the sme-11 thereof. 

13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me ; 
he shall lie all night s betwixt my breasts. 

1 4 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of l camphire 
in the vineyards of En-gedi. 

15 Behold, thou art fair, my love ; behold, thou art 
fair, thou u hast doves' eyes. 

1 6 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant : 
also x our bed is green. 

1 7 The y beams of our house are cedar, and our 
rafters of fir. 

CHAP. II. 

The mutual love of Christ and his church. 

1AM the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the a valleys. 
2 As the lily b among thorns, so is my love among 
the daughters. 

3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, 
so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under 
his shadow with great delight, c and his fruit was sweet 
to my taste. 



4 He brought me to the banqueting-house, and his 
banner over me was a love. 

5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples ; 
for I am e sick of love. 

6 His f left hand is under my head, and his right 
hand doth embrace me. 

7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by 
the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye g stir 
not up, nor awake my love, till he please. 

8 The h voice of my beloved ! behold, he i cometh 
leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. 

9 My beloved is like a roe, or a young hart : behold, 
he standeth behind k our wall, he looketh forth at the 
window, shewing himself through the lattice. 

1 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, 
my love, my fair one, and ' come away. 

1 1 For, lo, the m winter is past, the rain is over and 
gone ; 

1 2 The flowers appear on the earth ; the time of 
the n singing of birds is come, and the voice of the 
turtle is heard in our land. 

1 3 The fig-tree putteth forth her green figs, and the 
vines with "the tender grape give a. good smell. Arise, 
my love, my fair one, and come away. 

14 IT O my dove, that art in the p clefts of the rock, 
in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy coun- 
tenance, let me hear thy voice ; for sweet is thy 
voice, and thy countenance is comely. 

15 Take us the q foxes, the r little foxes, that spoil 
the vines : for our vines have tender grapes. 

16 IT My beloved is s mine, and T am his : he feed- 
eth among the lilies. 

17 Until the day t break, and the shadows flee 
away, turn, ray beloved : and be thou like a roe, or a 
young hart, upon the mountains of t Bether. 

CHAP. III. 
The church's fight and victory in temptation. 

BY night on a my bed 1 sought him whom my soul 
loveth : I sought him, but I found him not. 

2 I will rise now, and b go about the city ; in the 
streets, and in the broad ways, I will seek him whom 
my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. 

3 The c watchmen that go about the city found me : 
to whom I said, d Saw ye him whom my soul loveth ? 

4 It was but a little that I passed from them, but I 
found him whom my soul loveth : I held him, and 
would e not let him go, until I had brought him into 
my mother's house, into the chamber of her that 
f conceived me. 

5 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by 
the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not 
up, nor awake my love till he please. 

6 IF Who is this that cometh out of the e wilderness 
like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frank- 
incense, with all powders of the merchant ?

mount Gilead. 

2 Thy c teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even 
d shorn, which came up from the washing ; whereof 
every one bear twins, and none is barren among them. 

3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy 
e speech is comely : thy temples are like a piece of a 
pomegranate within thy locks. 

4 Thy neck is like the f tower of David, builded 
for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand 
bucklers, all shields of mighty men. 

5 Thy two s breasts are like two young roes that

6 Until the h day break, and the shadows flee away,

A further description of the church'' s graces. 

HOW beautiful are thy a feet with shoes, O prince's 
daughter ! the joints of thy thighs are like jew- 
els, the work of the hands of a b cunning workman : 

2 Thy c navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth 
not liquor; thy belly is like a heap of wheat set 
about with lilies : 

3 Thy two d breasts are like two young roes that 
are twins : 

4 Thy neck is as a e tower of ivory ; thine eyes 
like the fish-pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath- 
rabbim : thy f nose is as the tower of Lebanon, which 
looketh toward Damascus : 

5 Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair 
of thy head like purple : the King is s held in the 
galleries. 

6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, h for 
delights ! 

7 This thy stature is like to a ' palm-tree, and thy 
breasts to clusters of grapes. 

8 I said, I will go up to the palm-tree, I will take 
hold of the boughs thereof; now also thy breasts 
shall be as k clusters of the vine, and the ' smell of 
thy nose like apples ; 

9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for 
my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the 
m lips of those that are asleep to speak. 

1 IT n I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward 
me. 

Johni5,5. 1 1 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the 1 field ;

1 The love of the church to Christ. 8 The calling of the Gentiles. 
H that thou wert as my a brother, that sucked the 
breasts of my mother ! when I should find thee 
without, I would b kiss thee ; yea, I should not be 
despised. 

2 1 would c lead thee, and bring thee into my 
d mother's house, who would instruct me: I would dGai.4,26.

pomegranate. 

3 His left hand should be e under my head, and his 
right hand should embrace me. 

4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye 
stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please. 

5 (Who is this that cometh up from the f wilderness, ffte*. 12. 6- 
g leaning upon her beloved?) I raised thee up under gi=a.63,n 
the apple-tree : there thy mother brought thee forth ; J 3 j> e j^ 10 . 
there she brought thee forth that bare thee. 

6 Set me as a seal upon h thy heart, as a seal upon h 2 Tim. 2, 
thine ' arm : for love is strong as death ; jealousy is * 9 sa 40 n> 
cruel as the grave : the coals thereof are coals of fire, & 49, 15,16. 
which hath a most vehement flame. 

7 Many waters k cannot quench love, neither can £, Mat ' 8 7 'H - 
the floods drown it : if a man would give all the sub- om " 
stance of his house for love, it would utterly be 
contemned.

what shall we do for our sister in the day when she 

shall be m spoken for ? m Acts 11,

of silver : and if she be a door, we will enclose her 12. 14. 19! 
with boards of cedar. ©Eph. 2, 22. 

10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers : then 
was I in his eyes as one that found t favour. 

1 1 Solomon had a p vineyard at Baal-hamon ; he 
let out the vineyard unto keepers : every one for the 
fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver. 

1 2 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me : thou, Rev. 2, 1 
O q Solomon, must have a thousand, r and those that q.Mat 21, 
keep the fruit thereof two hundred. 

13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the com

THE vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he 
a saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the 
days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings 
of Judah. 

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth ; for the 
Lord hath b spoken : I have c nourished and brought 
up children, and they have rebelled against me : 

3 The d ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his mas- 
ter's crib : but Israel doth not know, my people doth 
e not consider. 

4 Ah, sinful nation, a people f laden with iniquity, 
8 a seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupters ! 



28, 



they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the 
Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away 
backward. 

5 Why should ye be stricken h any more ? ye will h Jer. 9. 3

the whole heart faint. 

6 From the i sole of the foot even unto the head 
there is no soundness in it ; but wounds, and bruises, 5 - 8 - 
and putrefying sores : they have k not been closed, k Jer. 8, 2?

|| besieged city. 

9 n Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a 
very small remnant, we should have been ° as Sodom, 
and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. 

1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye p rulers of 
Sodom ; give ear q unto the law of our God, ye people 
of Gomorrah : 

1 1 To what purpose is the r multitude of your sacri- 
fices unto me ? saith the Lord : I am full of the burnt- 
offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts ; and I s de- 
light not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of 
he-goats. 

12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath 
1 required this at your hand to tread my courts ? 

13 Bring no more u vain oblations : incense is an 
abomination unto me ; the new moons and sabbaths, 
the calling of assemblies, x I cannot away with : it is 
iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 

1 4 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my 
soul y hateth : they are a trouble unto me ; I am 
z weary to bear them. 

15 And when ye spread forth your hands I will 
* hide mine eyes from you ; yea, when ye make many 
prayers I will not hear : b yoiu hands are full of blood. 

1 6 c Wash you, make you clean ; put away the evil 
of your doings from before mine eyes ; d cease to do 
evil ; 

17 Learn to do well: seek e judgment, relieve the 
oppressed ; judge the fatherless ; plead for the widow. 

1 8 Come now, and let us r reason together, saith 
the Lord : Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall 
be as s white as snow ; though they be red like crim- 
son, they shall be as wool. 

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the 
good of the land : 

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured 
with the sword : for the h mouth of the Lord hath 
spoken it. 

21 How is ' the faithful city become k a harlot! it 
was full of judgment ; righteousness lodged in it ; but 
now ' murderers. 

22 Thy silver is become dross, thy m wine mixed 
with water : 

23 Thy n princes are rebellious, and companions of 
thieves : every one loveth gifts, and followeth ° after 
rewards : they judge not the fatherless, neither doth 
the cause of the widow come unto them. 

24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, 
the mighty One of Israel, p Ah, I will ease me of 
mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies : 

25 And q I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely 
purge away thy dross, and take away all thy r tin : 

26 And I will 3 restore thy judges as at the first, and 
thy counsellors as at the beginning : afterward thou 
shalt be called, The l city of righteousness, The faithful 
city. 

27 Zion shall be u redeemed with judgment, and 
her converts with x righteousness. 

28 And the destruction of the y transgressors and 
of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake 
the Lord shall be consumed. 

29 For they shall be z ashamed of the oaks which 
ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the 
gardens that ye have chosen. 

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and 
as a garden that hath " no water.

CHAP. II. 

Isaiah prophesieth the coming of Christ's kingdom. 

THE word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw con- 
cerning Judah and Jerusalem. 

2 And it shall come to pass in the a last days, that 
the b mountain of the Lord's house shall be established 
in the top of the mountains, and shall be c exalted 
above the hills ; cI and all nations shall flow unto it. 

3 And many people shall go and say, e Come ye, eZec. 8,20. 
and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the 
house of the God of Jacob ; and he will f teach us of f Rev. 22, 5 
his ways, and we will walk in his paths : for E out of e L,lke 24, 
Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord 
from Jerusalem. 

4 And he shall h judge among the nations, and shall h Mat. 28. 
' rebuke many people ; and they shall k beat their 
swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning- 
hooks : nation shall net lift up sword against nation, 
neither shall they ! learn war any more. 

5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in 
the m light of the Lord. 

6 Therefore thou hast n forsaken thy people, the 
house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the 2l 
east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they 
please themselves in the children of strangers. 

7 Their land also is full of v silver and gold, neither 
is there any end of their treasures ; their land is also 
full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots. 

8 Their land also is full of '' idols ; they worship the 
r work of their own hands, that which their own fingers 
have made. 

9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great 
man humbleth himself: therefore 'forgive them not.

1 2 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon 
every one that is y proud and lofty, and upon every one y p . s - u °' 5 
that is lifted up, and he shall be brought low ; 

1 3 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are 
high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 

14 And upon all the z high mountains, and upon all 
the hills that are lifted up, 

15 And upon every high tower, and upon every 
fenced wall, 

1 6 And upon all the a ships of Tarshish, and upon 
all pleasant b pictures. 

1 7 And the c loftiness of man shall be bowed down, 
and the haughtiness of men shall be made low ; and ^j %L*

himself to worship, to the moles, and to the bats ;

Judah'' s calamities foreshewn* 

CHAP. III. 

The great confusion which cometh by sin. 
OR, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth 
take away from Jerusalem, and from Judah, the 
stay and the a staff, the whole stay of bread, and the 
whole stay of water, 

2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the b judge, 
and the prophet, and the c prudent, and the ancient, 

3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, 
and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the 
eloquent orator. 

dE.ci.10,6. 4 And I wili give d children to be their princes, and 
t Heb. mm | babes shall rule over them. 

5 And the e people shall be oppressed, every one 
by another, and every one by his neighbour: the 
f child shall behave himself proudly against the an- 
cient, and the base against the honourable. 

6 When a man shall g take hold of his brother, of 
the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be 
thou our h ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand : 

7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be 
a healer ; for in my house is neither bread nor cloth- 
ing : make me not a ruler of the people. 

8 For Jerusalem is ' ruined, and Judah is fallen; 
because their k tongue and their doings are against the 
Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory. 

9 The ' shew of their countenance doth witness 
against them, and they declare their sin m as Sodom, 
they hide it not : wo unto their soul ! for they have 
rewarded evil unto themselves. 

10 Say ye to the n righteous, that it shall be ° well 
vjith him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 

1 1 Wo unto the wicked ! it shall be p ill with him,' 
for the reward of his hands shall be given him. 

12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, 
and q women rule over them. O my people, they 
which lead thee r cause thee to err, and destroy the 
way of thy paths. 

13 The Lord s standeth up to plead, and standeth 
to * judge the people. 

14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the 
ancients of his people, and the u princes thereof: for 
ye have eaten up the x vineyard ; the spoil of the poor 
is in your houses. 

15 What mean ye that ye y beat my people to 
pieces, and z grind the faces of the poor ? saith the 
Lord God of hosts. 

1 6 Moreover, the Lord saith, Because the daugh- 
ters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched- 
forth t necks and a wanton eyes, walking, and b min- 
cing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet : 

17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a c scab the 
crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the 
Lord will d discover their secret parts. 

1 8 In that day the Lord will take away the brave- 
ry of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and 
their cauls, and their e round tires like the moon, 

1 9 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, 

20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and 
the head-bands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings,

22 The g changeable suits of apparel, and the man- 
tles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins,

ed, Until the u cities be wasted without inhabitant, u 1 Kings

1 Ahaz is comforted by Isaiah. 14 Christ promised. 

AND it came to pass in the days of a Ahaz the 
son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah king of Judah, is, 6 
that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of 
Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem 
to b war against it, but could c not prevail against it. 

2 And it was told the house of David, saying, 
Syria is d confederate with Ephraim : and e his heart 
was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees 
of the wood are moved with the wind. 

3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now 
to meet Ahaz, thou" and || Shear-jashub thy son, at 
the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the high- 
way of the fuller's field ; ,•.,_;■ 

4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet;

6 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let 
us make a breach therein ' for us, and set a king in 
the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal : 

7 Thus saith the Lord God, It shall k not stand, 
neither shall it come to pass. 

8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the 
head of Damascus is Rezin ; and within ' threescore 
and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be 
m not a people. 

9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the 
head of Samaria is D Remaliah's son. If ye will not 
believe, surely ye shall ° not be established. 

10 Moreover, the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, 
saying, 

1 1 p Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God : q ask it 
either in the depth, or in the height above. 

12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I 
r tempt the Lord. 

13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David ; 
Is it a small thing for you to s weary men, but will ye 
weary my God also ? 

14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a 
sign : Behold, ' a Virgin shall conceive, and bear a 
son, and shall call his name || Immanuel. 

15 Butter and honey shall u he eat, that he may 
x know to refuse the evil, and choose the good : 

16 For before the child shall know to refuse the 
evil, and choose the good, the y land that thou abhor- 
rest shall be forsaken of both her kings. 

1 7 The Lord shall bring z upon thee, and upon 
thy people, and upon thy a father's house, days that 
have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed 
from Judah ; even the king of Assyria. 

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the 
Lord shall hiss for the b fly that is in the uttermost 
part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in 
the land of Assyria : 

1 9 And they shall come, and shall rest c all of them 
in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, 
and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes. 

20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a 
razor that is d hired, namely, by them beyond the 
river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair 
of the e feet : and it shall also consume the beard. 

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a 
man shall nourish a f young cow and two sheep : 

22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of 
milk that they shall give, he shall eat butter : for 
g butter and honey shall eveiy one eat that is h left in 
the land. 

23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every 
place shall be, where there were '' a thousand vines at a 
thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns. 

24 With k arrows and with bows shall men come 
thither ; ' because all the land shall become briers 
and thorns. 

25 And on all hills that shall be digged with the 
mattock, || there shall not come thither the fear of 
briers and thorns : but it shall be for the sending forth 
of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle. 

CHAP. VIII. 

Comfort shall be to them that fear God. 

MOREOVER the Lord said unto me, Take thee 
a great a roll, and write in it with a man's pen 
concerning b Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 

2 And I took unto me faithful c witnesses to record, 
d Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jebere- 
chiah. 




3 And I e went unto the prophetess ; and she con- 
ceived and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, 
Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz : 

4 For f before the child shall have knowledge to 
cry, My father, and my mother, the s riches of Da- _ 
mascus, and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away 15 « 29 
before the king of Assyria. 

5 IF The Lord spake also unto me again, saying, 

6 Forsomuch as this people refuseth the waters of 
h Shiloah that go softly, and ' rejoice in Rezin and 
Remaliah's son ; 

7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up 
upon them the waters of the river, k strong and many, 
even the 1 king of Assyria, and all his glory : and he 
shall come up over all his channels, and go over all 
his banks : 

8 And he shall pass through Judah ; he shall over- 
flow and go over ; he shall reach even to the m neck : 
and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the 
breadth of thy land, O Immanuel. 

9 "Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be n Joel 3, 9

hand, and r instructed me, that I should 3 not walk in 
the way of this people, saying, 

1 2 * Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to t 2 Kings

u fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 

13 x Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let

14 And he shall be for y a sanctuary; but for a 
z stone of stumbling, and for a rock of offence, to both 
the houses of Israel ; for a gin and for a snare to the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem. 

15 And a many among them shall b stumble and aRom.ii,

2 The d people that walked in darkness have seen 
a great light : they that dwell in the land of the 
shadow of death, upon them hath the e light shined. 

3 Thou hast f multiplied the nation, and not s in- 
creased the joy : they joy before thee according to 
the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they 
h divide the spoil. 

4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and 
the ' staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as 
in the day of k Midian. 

5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused 
noise, and ' garments rolled in blood ; but this shall 
be with m burning and fuel of fire. 

6 For unto n us a Child is born, unto us a Son is 
° given ; and the p government shall be upon his shoul- 
der : and his name shall be called Wonderful, Coun- 
sellor, The q mighty God, The everlasting Father, 
The Prince of Peace. 

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there 
shall be T no end, upon the throne of David, and upon 
his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judg- 
ment and with justice, from henceforth even for ever. 
The s zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. 

8 IT The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath 
1 lighted upon Israel. 

9 And all the people " shall know, even Ephraim 
and the inhabitants of Samaria, that x say in the pride 
and stoutness of heart, 

10 The y bricks are fallen down, but z we will build 
with hewn stones ; the a sycamores are cut down, but 
we will change them into cedars. 

1 1 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries 
of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together ; 

1 2 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind ; 
4, 8. and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. b For 

all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is 
stretched out still. 

13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth 
them, neither do they c seek the Lord of hosts. 

14 Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel 
d head and tail, branch and rush, in e one day. 

15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head ; 
and the prophet f that teacheth lies, he is the * tail. 

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err ; 
and they that are led of them are h destroyed. 

17 Therefore the Lord shall have ' no joy in their 
young men, neither shall have mercy on their k father- 
less and widows : for every one is ' a hypocrite and 
an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For 
all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is 
stretched out still. 

1 8 For wickedness ra burnetii as the fire : it shall 
devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in Ihe 
thickets of the forest ; and they shall mount up like 
the lifting up of smoke. 

19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the 
land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of 
the fire : no man shall n spare his brother.

The judgment of Assyria. 

this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is 
stretched out still. 

CHAP. X. 

1 The "wo of tyrants. 24 Israel is comforted with a promise 
of deliverance from Assyria. 

O unto them that decree "unrighteous decrees, 
and b that write grievousness which they have 
prescribed : 

2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to Da "-M,9. 
take away the right from the poor of my people, that 
widows maybe their c prey, and that they may rob ^Lukeii, 
the fatherless ! 

3 And what will ye do in the d day of visitation, 
and in the desolation which shall come c from far ? to 
whom r will ye flee for help ? and where will ye leave 
your glory ? 

4 || Without me they shall g bow down under the 12. 
prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all M J n hn £'? 8, 

l ■ 1 • • i 1 1 ■' ' 1 I'll ^ r » -o w * 

this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is forme, 
stretched out still. 

5 O Assyrian, the h rod of mine anger, and the staff 
in their hand is mine indignation. 

6 I will send him against a ' hypocritical nation, 
and against the people of my wrath will I k give him 
a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and 
to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 

7 Howbeit ' he meaneth not so, neither doth his 
heart think so ; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut 
off nations not a few. 

8 For m he saith, Are not my princes altogether m 2 Kings 
kings? 18 < 24 - 

9 Is not Calno as Carchemish ? is not Hamath as 
Arpad ? is not Samaria as Damascus ? 

10 As my hand hath n found the kingdoms of the nJob3i,2r>. 
idols, and whose graven images did excel them of 
Jerusalem and of Samaria ; 

1 1 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and 
her idols, ° so do to Jerusalem and her idols ? °| Sam - **• 

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that, when the 1 p e t. 1, 17. 
Lord hath p performed his whole work upon mount pJer. 25,18. 
Zion and on Jerusalem, I will q punish the fruit of the ijer.lb, ' 
stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his is. 
high looks. Rev. 19, 20. 

1 3 For he saith, By the r strength of my hand I have rVm. 4j3 o. 
done it, and by my s wisdom ; for I am prudent : and sHab.1,15. 
I have removed the ' bounds of the people, and have t Hon. 5, 10. 
robbed their treasures, and I have put down the in- Actsl7 » 26 - 
habitants like a valiant man : 

14 And my hand hath found, as a u nest, the riches u ch - 16, 2- 
of the people : and as one gathereth eggs that are left, 
have I gathered all the earth ; and there was none 
that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. 

15 Shall the axe * boast itself against him that xch.J0,i3 
heweth therewith ? or shall the saw magnify itself r^. is, 7. 
against him that shaketh it ? as if the rod should shake 
itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff 
should lift up itself as if it were y no wood. 

16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, 
send among his * fat ones a leanness ; and under his 
glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire. 

1 7 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his 
Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour 
his thorns and his b briers c in one day ; 

18 And shall consume the glory "I" his forest, and 
of his " fruitful field, both soul and body: and they 
shall be as when a standard-bearer faintelh. 

19 And the rest of the e trees of his forest shall be 
few, that a child may write them.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the 
f remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the 
house of Jacob, shall no more again g stay upon him 
that smote them ; but shall stay upon the Lord, the 
Holy One of Israel, in truth. 

21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of 
Jacob, unto h the mighty God. 

22 For though thy people Israel be as the ' sand of 
the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return : the con- 
sumption decreed shall overflow k with righteousness. 

23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a ! con- 
sumption, even m determined, in the midst of all the 
land. 

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O 
my people that dwellest in Zion, be " not afraid of the 
Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall 
lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. 

25 For yet a ° very little while, and the indignation 
shall p cease, and mine anger, q in their destruction. 

26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge 
1 for him, according to the slaughter s of Midian at the 
rock of Oreb : and as his rod was upon the sea, so 
shall he lift it up ' after the manner of Egypt. 

27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his 
u burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, 
and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be 
destroyed because of x the anointing. 

28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron ; at 
Michmash he hath laid up his carriages : 

29 They are gone over the passage : they have 
taken up their lodging at Geba ; Ramah is afraid ; 
Gibeah of Saul is fled. 

30 * Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim ; cause 
it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth. 

31 Madmenah is removed ; the inhabitants of Ge- 
bim z gather themselves to flee. 

32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day : he shall 
a shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of 
Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. 

33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop 
the bough with terror : and the b high ones of stature 
shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. 

34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forests 
with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a c mighty one. 

CHAP. XI. 

The peaceable kingdom of the Branch out of the root of Jesse. 
ND there shall come forth a rod out of the stem 
of Jesse, and a a Branch shall grow out of his 
roots : 

2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall b rest upon him, 
the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of 
counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge, and of the 
fear of the Lord ; 

3 And shall make him of c quick understanding in 
the fear of the Lord : and he shall not judge after the 
sight of his eyes, neither reprove after'the hearing of 
his ears. 

4 But with righteousness shall he judge a the poor, 
and e reprove with- equity for the meek of the earth : 
and he shall f smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, 
and with s the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 

5 And '' righteousness shall be the girdle of his 
loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 

6 The ' wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and 
the leopard shall lie down with the kid ; and the calf, 
and the young lion, and the fading together ; and a 
little child shall lead them. 

7 And the cow and the bear shall feed ; their young 



ones shall lie down together : and the lion shall eat 
straw like the ox. 

8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of 
the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on 
the cockatrice' den. 

9 They shall k not hurt nor destroy in all my holy 
mountain : for the earth shall be full of the \ know- 
ledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. 

1 And in that day there shall be a m root of Jesse, 
which shall stand for an ensign of the people ; to it 
shall the Gentiles seek : and his n rest shall be glorious. 

1 1 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the 
Lord shall set his hand again the ° second time to 
recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, 
from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and 
from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from 
Harnath, and from the islands of the sea. 

1 2 And he shall p set up an ensign for the q nations, 
and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather 
together the r dispersed of Judah from the four corners 
of the earth. 

13 The fl envy also of Ephraim * shall depart, and 
the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim 
shall not envy Judah, agd Judah shall u not vex 
Ephraim. 

14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the 
Philistines toward x the west : they shall spoil them 
of the y east together : they shall lay their hand upon 
Edom and Moab ; and the children of Amnion shall 
z obey them. 

1 5 And the Lord shall utterly destroy the a tongue 
of the Egyptian sea ; and with his mighty wind shall 
he shake his hand b over the river, and shall smite it 
in the seven streams, and make men go over dry-shod. 

1 6 And there shall be a c highway for the remnant 
of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria ; like 
as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of 
the land of d Egypt. 

CHAP. XII. 

A joyful thanksgiving of the faithful for the mercies of God. 
ND in a that day "thou shalt say, O Lord, I will 
praise thee : though thou wast angry with me, 
thine anger is turned away, and thou c comfortedst me. 

2 Behold, God d is my salvation ; I will trust, and 
not be afraid : for the Lord e JEHOVAH is my 
strength and my song ; he also is become my salvation. 

3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the 
f wells of salvation. 

4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, 
call upon his name, declare E his doings among the 
people, make mention that h his name is exalted. 

5 Sing unto the Lord ; for he hath done i excellent 
things : this is known in all the earth. 

6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion : for 
k great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

doms of nations gathered together : the Lord of hosts 
1 mustereth the host of the battle. 

5 They come from a k far country, from the end of 
heaven, even the Lord, and the l weapons of his in- 
dignation, to destroy the whole land. 

6 m Howl ye ; for the n day of the Lord is at hand ; 
it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every 
man's heart shall melt : 

8 And they shall be afraid : pangs and sorrows 
shall take hold of them ; they shall be in pain as a 
° woman that travaileth ; they shall be amazed one 
at another ; their faces shall be as p flames. 

9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, q cruel both 
with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate ; 
and he shall destroy the sinners thereof r out of it. 

10 For the 8 stars of heaven, and the constellations 
thereof, shall not give their light: the sun shall be 
darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not 
cause her light to shine. 

1 1 And I will punish the l world for their evil, and 
the wicked for their iniquity ; and I will cause the 
arrogancy of the proud u to cease, and will lay low 
the haughtiness of the terrible. 

1 2 I will make a x man y more precious than fine 
gold ; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 

13 Therefore I will z shake the heavens, and the 
earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the 
Lord of hosts, and in the day of his a fierce anger. 

1 4 And it shall be as the b chased roe, and as a 
sheep that no man taketh up : they shall every man 
turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own 
land. 

1 5 Every one that is c found shall be thrust through ; 
and every one that is d joined unto them shall fall by 
the sword. 

16 Their children also shall be e dashed to pieces 
before their eyes ; their houses shall be spoiled, and 
their wives ravished. 

1 7 Behold, I will stir up the f Medes against them, 
which shall not regard B silver ; and as for gold, they 
shall not delight in it. 

1 8 Their bows also shall dash the young men to 
pieces ; and they shall have !l no pity on the fruit of 
the womb ; their eye shall not spare children. 

19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty 
of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God 
overthrew ' Sodom and Gomorrah. 

20 Jt shall never be k inhabited, neither shall it be 
dwelt in from generation to generation ; neither shall 
the Arabian pitch tent there, neither shall the shep- 
herds make their fold there : 

21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there ; 
and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures ; and 
owls shall dwell there, and ' satyrs shall dance there. 

22 And the m wild beasts of the islands shall cry in 
their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant 
palaces ; and her n time is near to come, and her 

days shall not be prolonged. 

CHAP. XIV. 

1 God's merciful restoration of Israel. 29 Palestina is 

threatened. 

FOR the Lord will have ■ mercy on Jacob, and 
will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own 
land : and the b strangers shall be joined with them, 
and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. 

2 And the people shall take them, and c bring them 
to their place ; and the house of Israel shall possess 



them in the land of the Lord for servants and hand- 
maids : and they shall take them captives, whose 
captives they were ; and they shall ll rule over their 
oppressors. 

3 And it shall come to pass, in the day that the 
Lord shall give thee e rest from thy sorrow, and from 
thy fear, and from the f hard bondage wheiein thou 
wast made to serve, 

4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the 
king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor 
ceased ! the 6 golden city ceased ! 

5 The Lord hath broken the h staff of the wicked, 
and the sceptre of the rulers. 

6 He who ' smote the people in wrath with a con- 
tinual stroke, he that k ruled the nations in anger, is 
persecuted, and none hindereth. 

7 The whole earth is at ' rest, and is quiet : they 
break forth m into singing. 

8 Yea, the n fir-trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars 
of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no 
feller is come up against us. 

9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee 
at thy coming : it stirreth up the dead for thee, even 
all the chief ones of the earth ; it hath raised up from 
their thrones all the kings of the nations. 

1 All they shall speak, and say unto thee, Art thou 
also become weak as we 1 art thou become ° like 
unto us ? 

1 1 Thy p pomp is brought down to the grave, and 
the noise of thy viols : the worm, is spread under thee, 
and the worms cover thee. 

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, 
son of the morning ! how art thou q cut down to the 
ground, which didst weaken the nations ! 

1 3 For thou hast said in thy heart, I will r ascend 
into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the s stars 
of God ; I will sit also upon the l mount of the con- 
gregation, in the sides of the north : 

1 4 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds ; I 
will be u like the Most High. 

15 Yet thou shalt be brought x down to hell, to the 
sides of the pit. 

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon 
thee, and consider thee, saying, y Is this the man that 
made the z earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms ; 

1 7 That made the world as a a wilderness, and de- 
stroyed the cities thereof; that b opened not the house 
of his prisoners ? 

18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie 
in glory, every one in his own house : 

1 9 But thou art c cast out of thy grave like an 
(1 abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that 
are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to 
the stones of the pit ; as a e carcase trodden under feet. 

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, 
because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy 
people : the f seed of evil-doers shall never be re- 
nowned. 

21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the s ini- 
quity of their fathers ; that they do not rise, nor pos- 
sess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 

22 For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord 




of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the " name, a 



nd 

remnant, and 'son, and nephew, saith the Lord, 

23 I will also make it a possession for the k bittern, 
and pools of water: and J will sweep it with the 
1 besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts. 

24 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely

have purposed, so shall it stand ; 

25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and 
upon my mountains m tread him under foot : then shall 
his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart 
from off their shoulders. 

26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the 
n Mai. 4, 6. n whole earth ; and this is the hand that is stretched 

out upon all the nations. 

• 27 For the Lord of hosts hath ° purposed, and who

The lamentable state of Moab. 

THE burden of a Moab. Because in the b night 
Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to si- 
lence ; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid 
waste, and brought to silence : 

2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high 
places, to weep : Moab shall howl over Nebo, and 
over Medeba ; on all their c heads shall be baldness, 
and every beard cut off. 

3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with 
sackcloth : on the d tops of their houses, and in their 
streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly. 

4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh : their voice 
shall be heard even unto Jahaz : therefore the armed 
soldiers of Moab shall cry out ; e his life shall be 
grievous unto him. 

5 My heart shall r cry out for Moab ; his fugitives 
shall flee unto Zoar, a s heifer of three years old : for 
by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they 
go it up , for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise 
up a cry of destruction. 

6 For the h waters of Nimrim shall be desolate : for 
the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no 
green thing. 

7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and 
that which they have laid up, shall they carry away 
to the brook of the ' willows. 

8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of 
Moab ; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the 
howling thereof unto Beer-elim. 

9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of k blood : 
for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that 
1 escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.

2 For it shall be, 



that as a c wandering bird cast 




He is threatened /or pride, 

out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at 
the fords of Arnon. 

3 Take counsel, execute judgment, make thy sha- 
dow as the night in the midst of the noon-day ; hide 
the d outcasts, e bewray not him that wandereth. 

4 Let mine outcasts f dwell with thee, Moab : be 
thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler : for 
the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the 
oppressors are consumed out of the land. 

5 And in mercy shall the throne be established ; 
and he shall g sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of 
David, judging and seeking h judgment, and hasting 
righteousness. 

6 We have heard of the pride of Moab ; he is 
1 very proud : even of his haughtiness, and his pride, 
and his wrath : but his k lies shall not be so. 

7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one 
shall howl : for the ' foundations of Kir-hareseth shall 
ye mourn ; surely they are stricken. 

8 For the fields of Heshbon m languish, and the vine m ch- 24. % 
of Sibmah : the lords of the heathen have broken 

down the principal plants thereof, they are come even 
unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness ; 
her branches are stretched out, they are gone over 
the sea : 

9 Therefore I will "bewail with the weeping of n Jer. 48, 5. 
Jazer the vine of Sibmah : I will water thee with my 

tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh ; for the shouting for 
thy summer-fruits, and for thy harvest, is fallen. 

10 And ° gladness is taken away, and joy out of the o eh. 24, 8. 
plentiful field ; and in the vineyards there shall be no Je '' 48 ' 33 '

1 3 This is the word that the Lord hath spoken

7 At that day shall a man k look to his Maker, and 
his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. 

8 And he shall not look to the ' altars, the work of 
his hands, neither shall respect that which his ra fingers 
have made, either the groves or the images. 

9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken

because of the children of Israel : and there shall be 
desolation. 

1 Because thou hast ° forgotten the God of thy

thy strength ; therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, 
and shalt set it with strange slips : 

1 1 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, 
and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to 
flourish ; but the q harvest shall be a heap in the day 
of grief and of desperate sorrow. 

1 2 Wo to the multitude of many people, which make 
a r noise like the noise of the seas ; and to the rushing 
of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of 
mighty waters ! 

13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many

The captivity of Egypt and Ethiopia. 

23 In that day shall there be a 




highway out of 
Egypt to Assyria ; and the Assyrian shall come into 
Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria ; and the Egyp- 
tians shall serve with the Assyrians. 

24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt

A type prefiguring the shameful captivity of Egypt and 
Ethiopia. 
N the year that a Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when 
Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought 
against Ashdod, and took it ; 

2 At the same time spake the Lord by Isaiah the son 
b2Cor. 12, of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the b sackcloth from 

off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And 
he c did so, walking naked and barefoot. 

3 And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah 
hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a 
d sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia ; 

4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the 
Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, 
young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their 
e buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 

5 And they shall be f afraid and ashamed of Ethio- 
pia their g expectation, and of Egypt their glory. 

6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that 
day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee 
for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria : and 
how shall we escape ? 

CHAP. XXI. 

The prophet bewaileth the captivity of God's people. 

THE burden of the a desert of the sea. As whirl- 
winds in the south pass through ; so it cometh 
from the desert, from a terrible land. 

2 A grievous vision is declared unto me ; The 
b Hab. 2, 5. b treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the 

spoiler c spoileth. Go up, O Elam : besiege, O Media : 
all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. 

3 Therefore are my d loins filled with pain ; pangs 
have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a e woman 
that travail eth : I was bowed down at the hearing of 
it ; 1 was dismayed at the seeing of it. 

4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me : the 
f night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me. 

5 g Prepare the table, watch in the watch-tower, 
h eat, drink : arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. 

6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set 
' a watchman, let him declare k what he seeth. 

7 And he saw a ' chariot with a couple of horsemen, 
a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels ; and he 
hearkened m diligently with much heed. 

8 And he cried, n A lion : My lord, I stand ° con- 
tinually upon the p watch-tower in the day-time, and 
I am set iamy ward whole nights ; 

9 And. behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with 
a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, 
q Babylon is fallen, is fallen •, and all the r graven 
images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground. 

1 O my s threshing, and the corn of my floor : that 
which I have heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, have I declared unto you.

2 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a 
c joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the 
sword, nor dead in battle. 

3 All thy a rulers are fled together, they are bound 
by the archers : all that are found in thee are e bound 
together, which have fled from far.

7 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest val- 
leys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall 
set themselves in array at the gate. 

8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and 
thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house 
of the k forest. 

9 Ye have seen also the l breaches of the city of 1 2 chr. 33, 
David, that they are many ; and ye gathered together 5 - 

the waters of the lower pool : 

10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, 
and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the 
wall. 

1 1 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for 

the water of the m old pool : but ye have not looked m Neh. 3, 
unto the " maker thereof, neither had respect unto him 
that fashioned it long ago. 

1 2 And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call

to girding with sackcloth : 

13 And, behold, p joy and gladness, slaying oxen

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will 
call my servant a Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah : 

21 And I will ^ b clothe him with thy robe, and 
strengthen him with thy c girdle, and I will commit 
thy ° government into his hand ; and he shall be a

22 And the e key of the house of David will I lay

shut ; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

and he shall be for a g glorious throne to his father's

24 And they shall hang upon him all h the glory of 
his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all 
1 vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, 
even to all the vessels of flagons. 

25 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the

1 The miserable overthrow of Tyre: 17 Their unhappy 

return. 

THE burden of Tyre. a Howl, ye ships of Tar- 
shish ; for it is b laid waste, so that there is no 
house, no entering in : from the land of Chittim it is 
revealed to them. 

2 Be c still, ye inhabitants of the isle ; thou whom 
the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have 
d replenished. 

3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the har- 
vest of the river, is her revenue ; and she is a e mart 
of nations. 

4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon ; for the r sea hath 
spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail 
not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up 
6 young men, nor bring up virgins. 

5 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they 
be sorely h pained at the report of Tyre. 

6 ' Pass ye over to Tarshish ; howl, ye inhabitants 
of the isle. 

7 Is this your k joyous city, whose antiquity is of 
flcci 1o 7 anc i en t days ? her ' own feet shall carry her afar off 

to sojourn. 

8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the 
m crowning city, whose n merchants are princes, whose 
traffickers are the ° honourable of the earth ? 

9 The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the 
p pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the 
honourable of the earth. 

10 Pass through thy femd as a river, O daughter of 
Tarshish : there is no more strength. 

1 1 He i stretched out his hand over the sea ; he 
r shook the kingdoms .he Lord hath given a com-

are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, 
and shall be removed like a cottage ; and the trans- 
gression thereof shall be heavy upon it ; and it shall

The prophet praiseth God for his judgments and salvation. 
LORD, thou art my God ; I will a exalt thee, 
I will praise thy name : for thou hast done 
b wonderful things ; thy counsels of old are faithfulness 
and truth. 

2 For thou hast made of a c city a fl heap ; of a 
defenced city a ruin : a palace of strangers to be no 
city ; it shall never be built. 

3 Therefore shall the strong people e glorify thee, 
the city of the f terrible nations shall fear thee. 

4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a 
strength to the needy in his distress, a g refuge from 
the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of 
the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. 

5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers as 
the heat in a diy place ; even the heat with the shadow 
of a cloud : the branch of the h terrible ones shall be 
brought low. 

6 And in this ' mountain shall the Lord of hosts 
make unto k all people a feast of fat things, a feast of 
wines on the lees ; of fat things full of marrow, of 
wines on the lees well refined. 

7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of 
the ' covering cast over all people, and the vail that is 
spread over all nations. 

8 He will m swallow up death in victory ; and the 
Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; 
and the " rebuke of his people shall he take away from 
off all the earth : for the Lord hath spoken it. 

9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is ° our 
God : we have waited for him, and he will save us : 
this is the Lord ; we have p waited for him, we will 
be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 

10 For in thi? mountain shall the hand of the Lord 
rest, and Moab shall be trodden down q under him, 
even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

7 The way of the just is k uprightness : thou, most

devour them.

also hast wrought all our works in us. 

1 3 O Lord our God, other x lords besides thee have xLam - 5 > 8 
had dominion over us; but by thee y only will we yP«-73,25 
make mention of thy name. 

14 They are dead, they shall z not live; they are *p»-36,12 
deceased, they shall not rise : therefore hast thou 
visited and destroyed them, and made all their 
a memory to perish. 

15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou 
hast increased the nation: thou art glorified; thou 
hadst removed it far unto all the b ends of the earth. 

16 Lord, in c trouble have they visited thee ; they 
poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon 
them. 

1 7 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near 
the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in 
her pangs; d so have we been in thy sight, O Lord. 

1 8 We have been with child, we have been in pain, 
we have as it were brought forth e wind ; we have not 
f wrought any deliverance in the earth, neither have 
the inhabitants of the world fallen. 

1 9 Thy s dead men shall live, together with my dead 
bodv shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell

were for ' a little moment, until the indignation be 
overpast- 
Si For, behold, the Lord k cometh out of his place 
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity : 
the earth also shall disclose her ' blood, and shall no 
more cover her slain. 

CHAP. XXVII. 

God's chastisements differ from judgments. 

IN that day the Lord, with his sore, and great, and 
strong a sword, shall punish h leviathan the pier- 
cing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; 
and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. 

2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of c red 
wine. 

3 I the Lord do d keep it ; I will e water it every 
moment ; lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and f day. 

4 Fury is g not in me : who would set the briers 
and h thorns against me in battle ? I would go through 
ihem, I would burn them together. 

5 Or let him ' take hold of my strength, that he 
may make peace with me ; and he sliall make peace 
with me. 

6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to k take 
root : Israel shall blossom and bud, and ' fill the face 
of the world with fruit. 

7 Hath he m smitten him, n as he smote those that 
smote him ? or is he slain according to the slaughter 
of them that are slain by him ? 

8 ° In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt 
debate with it : he p stayeth his rough wind in the day 
of the east wind. 

9 By this, therefore, shall the iniquity of Jacob be 
q purged ; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin ; 
when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalk- 
stones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images 
shall not stand up. 

10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the 
habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness : there 
shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and 
consume the branches thereof. 

11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they 
shall be broken off: the women come and set them r on 
fire ; for it is a people of B no understanding : therefore 
he that made them will 4 not have mercy on them, 
and he that formed them will shew them no favour. 

1 2 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the 
Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto 
the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by 
one, O ye children of Israel. 

1 3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the 
u great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come 
which were x ready to perish in the land of Assyria, 
and the outcasts in the y land of Egypt, and shall 
z worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem. 

CHAP. XXVIII. 

Christ, the sure foundation, is promised. 

WO to the a crown of pride, to the b drunkards of 
Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading 
flower, which are on the head of the c fat valleys of 
them that are overcome with wine ! 

2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and d strong one, 
ivhick, as a e tempest of hail, and a destroying storm, 
as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast 
down to the earth with the hand. 

3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, 
shall be trodden under feet. 

4 And the glorious beauty which is on the head of 
the fat valley shall be a fading flower, and as the f hasty 

3 I 



fruit before the summer ; which, when he that looketh 
upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he E eateth 
it up. 

5 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown 
of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the '' residue 
of his people ; 

6 And for a ! spirit of judgment to him that sitteth 
in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the 
k battle to the gate. 

7 But ' they also have m erred through wine, and 
through strong drink are out of the way : the priest 
and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they 
are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way 
through strong drink ; they err in n vision, they stumble 
in judgment. 

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so 
that there is no place clean. 

9 ° Whom shall he teach knowledge ? and whom 
shall he make to understand doctrine ? them p that are 
weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 

1 For q precept must be upon precept, precept upon 
precept ; line upon line, line upon line ; here a little, 
and there a little : 

1 1 For with r stammering lips, and another tongue, 
will he speak to this people. 

1 2 To whom s he said, This is the 4 rest wherewith 
ye may cause " the weary to rest ; and this is the 
refreshing : yet they would not hear. 

13 But the word of the Lord was unto them, pre- 
cept upon precept, precept upon precept ; line upon 
line, line upon line ; here a little, and there a little ; 
that they might x go, and fall backward, and be 
y broken, and snared, and taken. 

14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye 
z scornful men, that rule this people which is in Je- 
rusalem : 

1 5 Because ye have said, We have a made a cove- 
nant with death, and with b hell are we at agreement ; 
when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it 
shall not come unto us : for we have made c lies our 
refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, d I 
lay in Zion for a e foundation a stone, a tried stone, a 
f precious corner-stone, a sure foundation : he that 
believeth shall g not make haste. 

1 7 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and h right- 
eousness to the plummet ; and the hail shall sweep 
away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow 
the hiding-place. 

1 8 And your covenant with death shall be disan- 
nulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand ; 
when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then 
ye shall be ' trodden down by it. 

1 9 k From the time that it goeth forth it shall take 
you : for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day 
and by night ; and it shall be a vexation only to 
understand the report. 

20 For the bed is ' shorter than that a man can 
stretch himself on it ; and the m covering narrower 
than that he can wrap himself in it. 

21 For the Lord shall rise up as in ■ mount Pe- 
razim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of ° Gibeon, 
that he may do his work, his p strange work ; and 
bring to pass his act, his strange act. 

22 Now, therefore, be ye not q mockers, lest your 
r bands be made strong : for I have heard from the 
Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined, 
upon the 9 whole earth.

24 Doth the plowman plow * all day to sow ? doth 
he open and break the clods of his ground ? 

25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth 
he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, 
and cast in the principal wheat, arid the appointed 
barley, and the rye, in their place 1 

26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and 
doth teach him. 

27 For the fitches are not u threshed with a thresh- 
ing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about 
upon the cummin ; but the fitches are beaten out with 
a staff, and the cummin with a rod. 

28 Bread-co?7z is bruised ; because he will not ever 
be x threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his 
cart, nor bruise it with his y horsemen. 

29 This also cometh forth z from the Lord of hosts, 
which is a wonderful in counsel, and excellent in 
working. 

CHAP. XXIX. 

A promise of sanctification to the godly. 

WO to j| Ariel, to Ariel, the city tvhere David 
dwelt ! a add ye year to year ; let them kill 
sacrifices. 

2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heavi- 
ness and sorrow : and it shall be unto me b as Ariel. 

3 And I will c camp against thee round about, and 
will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will 
raise forks against thee. 

4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak 
out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of 
the dust, and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a 
d familiar spirit out of the ground, and thy speech shall 
whisper out of the dust. 

5 Moreover, the multitude of thy strangers shall be 
like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones 
shall be as chaff that e passeth away •, yea, it shall be 
at an instant suddenly. 

6 Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with 
f thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with 
storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire. 

7 And the s multitude of all the nations that fight 
against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her 
munition, and that distress her, shall be as a b dream 
of a night-vision. 

8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreameth, 
and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul 
is empty : or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, 
behold, he drinketh ; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is 
faint, and his soul hath 'appetite : so shall the multitude 
of all the nations be that fight against mount Zion. 

9 Stay yourselves and k wonder ; cry ye out, and 
1 cry : they are drunken, but not with wine ; they 
stagger, but not with strong drink. 

10 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the 
m spirit of deep sleep, and hath D closed your eyes : the 
prophets and your rulers, the seers, hath he covered. 

1 1 And the vision of all is become unto you as the 
words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to 
one that is ° learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee : 
and he saith, p I cannot ; for it is c > sealed. 

12 And tlie book is delivered to him that is r not 
learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee : and he saith, 
1 am not learned. 

1 3 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this 
people draw near me with their 5 mouth, and with their 
lip* do honour me. but have removed their heart far 



from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the 
1 precept of men : 

14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a mar- 
vellous work among this people, even a marvellous 
work and a wonder ; for the u wisdom of their wise 
men shall perish, and the understanding of their pru- 
dent men shall be hid. 

15 Wo unto them that seek x deep to hide their 
counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the 
dark, and they say, y Who seeth us ? and who know- 
eth us ? 

16 Surely your z turning of things upside down shall 
be esteemed as the potter's clay : for shall the work 
a say of him that made it, He made me not ? or shall 
the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had 
no understanding ? 

17 Is it not yet a very little while, and b Lebanon 
shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field 
shall be c esteemed as a forest ? 

1 8 And in that day shall the d deaf hear the words 
of the e book, and the f eyes of the blind shall see out 
of obscurity, and out of darkness. 

19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the 
Lord, and the g poor among men shall rejoice in the 
Holy One of Israel. 

20 For the h terrible one is brought to nought, and 
the scorner is consumed, and all that ' watch for 
iniquity are cut off: 

21 That make a man an offender k for a word, and 
lay a snare for him that 1 reproveth in the gate, and 
turn aside the just for a thing of nought. 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, who m redeemed 
Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob 
shall not now be " ashamed, neither shall his face now 
wax pale. 

23 But when he seeth his ° children, the p work of 
my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify 
my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and 
shall fear the God of Israel. 

24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to un- 
derstanding, and they that q murmured shall r learn 
doctrine.

18 God's mercies tozvard his church. 27 The destruction of 

Assyria. 

O to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, 

that a take counsel, but not of me ; and that 

cover with a covering, but not of my Spirit, that they 

may b add sin to sin : 

2 That walk to c go down into Egypt, and have not 
<J asked at my mouth ; to strengthen themselves in the 
strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of 
Egypt ! 

3 Therefore shall the e strength of Pharaoh be your 
f shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your 
confusion. 

4 For his g princes were at h Zoan, and his ambas- 
sadors came to Hanes. 

5 They were all ashamed of a people that could 
not * profit them, nor be a help nor profit, but a shame, 
and also a reproach. 

6 The burden of the k beasts of the south : Into the 
1 land of trouble and anguish, from whence come m the 
young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, 
they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young 
asses, and their treasures upon fiie bunches of camels, 

i to a people that shall not profit them.

1 1 Get ye y out of the way, turn aside out of the

12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel,

1 3 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach

Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth 
the stroke of their wound. 

27 Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from b far, 
'burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is 12. uke19,

as a devouring fire : 

28 And his e breath, as an overflowing stream, shall

one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of 
the Lord, to the E Mighty One of Israel. 

30 And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice h to 
be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm,

32 And ' in every place where the grounded staff ?^ c ^ g' *• 
shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall 

be with m tablets and harps : and in battles of shaking 
will he fight with it. 

33 For n Tophet is ordained of old ; yea, for the 
king it is prepared : he hath made it deep and large ; 
the pile thereof is fire and much wood : the breath of 
the Lord, like a p stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. 

CHAP. XXXI. 

The prophet sheweth the cursed folly in trusting to Egypt. 
O to them that go down to Egypt a for help, and 
stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because 
they are many ; and in horsemen, because they are 
very strong : but they look not unto the Holy One of 
Israel, neither b seek the Lord ! 

2 Yet he also is c wise, and will bring evil, and will 
not d call back his words : but will arise against the 
house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them 
that work iniquity. 

3 Now the Egyptians are e men, and f not God ; 
and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord 
shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall ePs. 146,3, 
fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they 
all shall fail together. 

4 For thus hath the Lord g spoken unto me, Like 
as h the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, 
when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against 
him, he. will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase 
himself for the noise of them : so shall the Lord of 

hosts come down to fight for ' mount Zion, and for the i Obadiah 
hill thereof. verse 21. 

5 As k birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts ' defend k Mat. 23, 
Jerusalem ; defending also he will deliver //, and pass- f^ch. 2 5. 
ing over he will preserve it. 

6 "' Turn ye unto him from whom the children of mActs2,:<7 
Israel have deeply revolted. 

7 For in that day every man shall n cast away his n ch. 27, 9. 
idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own 

bands have made unto you for a "sin. oAmoa 1 1. 

8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the ■' sword, not pch. 37,3'; 
of a mighty man ; and tiie sword, not of a mean man, 

shall devour him: but he shall lice from the sword, 
and his young men shall be discomfited. 

9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, 
and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the 

Lord, whose 1 fire is in Zion, and his ' furnace in Jm-i'I'Z' 
Jerusalem. 3.

CHAP. XXX11. 

1 The blessings of Christ's kingdom. 9 Desolation is fore- 
shewn. 
BEHOLD, a king a shall reign in righteousness, 
and b princes shall rule in judgment. 

2 And || a man shall be as a hiding-place from the 
wind, and a covert from the tempest ; as c rivers of 
water in a dry place ; as the shadow of a great rock 
in a weary land. 

3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be d dim ; 
and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. 

4 The heart also of the rash shall understand know- 
ledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready 
to speak plainly. 

5 The e vile person shall be no f more called libe- 
ral, nor the churl said to be bountiful. 

6 For the vile person will speak villany, and g his 
heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to 
utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul 
of the hungry ; and he will cause the h drink of the 
thirsty to fail. 

7 The instruments also of the churl are evil : he 
1 deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying 
words, even when the needy speaketh right. 

8 But the liberal k deviseth ' liberal things ; and by 
liberal things shall he stand. 

9 Rise up, ye women that are at m ease ; hear my 
voice, ye careless daughters ; give ear unto my 
speech. 

10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye 
careless women : for the D vintage shall fail, the ga- 
thering shall not come. 

1 1 Tremble, ye women that are at ease ; be trou- 
bled, ye careless ones : ° strip ye, and make ye bare, 
and gird sackcloth upon your loins. 

1 2 They shall lament p for the teats, for the plea- 
sant fields, for the fruitful vine. 

13 Upon the land of my people shall come up 
q thorns and briers, yea, upon all the houses of joy in 
the joyous city : 

1 4 Because the palaces r shall be forsaken ; the 
multitude of the city shall be left ; the forts and tow- 
ers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a 
pasture of flocks ; 

1 5 Until the s Spirit be poured upon us * from on 
high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the 
fruitful field be counted for a forest. 

16 Then "judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, 
and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 

1 7 And the work of righteousness shall be x peace ; 
and the y effect of righteousness, quietness and assu- 
rance for ever. 

18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable 
habitation, and in z sure dwellings, and in quiet rest- 
ing-places, 

1 9 When it shall a hail, coming down on the forest ; 
and the city shall be low in a low place. 

20 Blessed are ye that b sow beside all waters, that 
send forth thither the feet of the c ox and the ass. 

CHAP. XXXIII. 

God" s judgments against the enemies of the church. 

O to thee that a spoilest, and thou wast b not 
spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they 
dealt not treacherously with thee ! when thou shalt 
c cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled ; and when thou 
shalt make an end to deal treacherously, d they shall 
deal treacherously with thee.

ISAIAH. The privileges of the 

for diee : be thou f their arm every morning, our sal- 
vation also in the time of trouble. 

3 At the noise of the tumult the people s fled ; at 
the lifting up of thyself the nations were h scattered. 

4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gather- 
ing of the caterpillar: as the running to and fio of 
locusts shall he run upon them. 

5 The Lord is ■ exalted ; for he dwelleth k on 
high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and right- 
eousness. 

6 And ' wisdom and knowledge shall be the stabi- 
lity of thy times, and strength of salvation : the fear 
of the Lord is his m treasure. 

7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without ; the 
" ambassadors of peace shall weep bitteily. 

8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man 
ceaseth : ° he hath broken the covenant, he hath 
p despised the cities, he regardeth no man. 

9 The q earth mourneth and languisheth ; Lebanon 
is ashamed and hewn down ; Sharon is like a wil- 
derness ; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their 
fruits. 

10 r Now will I rise, saith the Lord ; now will I 
be exalted ; now will I lift up myself. 

11 Ye shall s conceive chaff; ye shall bring forth 
stubble : your breath as fire shall devour you. 

1 2 And the people shall be as the ' burnings of lime ; 
as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire. 

1 3 Hear, ye that are u far off, what I have done ; 
and ye that are near, acknowledge my might. 

1 4 The x sinners in y Zion are afraid ; fearfulness 
hath surprised the hypocrites : Who among z us shall 
dwell with the devouring fire ? who among us shall 
dwell with a everlasting burnings 1 

1 5 He that walketh b righteously, and speaketh up- 
rightly ; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that 
shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stop- 
peth his ears from hearing of blood, and c shutteth his 
eyes from seeing evil ; 

1 6 He shall dwell on high : his place of defence 
shall be the d munitions of rocks ; bread shall be given 
him, his waters shall be sure. 

1 7 Thine eyes shall see the e king in his beauty : 
they shall behold the land that is s very far off. 

18 Thy heart shall h meditate terror. ' Where is 
the scribe ? where is the receiver ? where is he that 
counted the towers ? 

1 9 Thou shalt k not see a fierce people ; a people 
of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive ; of a 
stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand. 

20 Look ' upon Zion, the city of our solemnities : 
thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a 
tabernacle that shall not be taken down ; not one of 
the stakes thereof shall ever be m removed, neither 
shall any of the cords thereof be broken. 

21 But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a 
place of " broad rivers and streams ; wherein shall go 
no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass 
thereby. 

22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our 
p lawgiver, the Lord is our king ; he will q save us. 

23 Thy tacklings are loosed ; they could not well 
strengthen their mast ; they could not spread the sail : 
then is the r prey of a great spoil divided ; the lame 
take the prey. 

24 And the inhabitants shall not say, I am 3 sick : 
the people that dwell therein shall be * forgiven theii 
iniquity.

CHAP. XXXIV. 

The judgments wherewith God revengeth his church. 

COME near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye 
people ; let the a earth hear, and all that is therein ; 
the world, and all things that come forth of it. 

2 For the indignation of the Lord is upon b all 
nations, and his fury upon all their armies : c he hath 
utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the 
slaughter. 

3 Their slain also shall be d cast out, and their e stink 
shall come up out of their carcases, and the moun- 
tains shall be melted with their blood. 

4 And all the f host of heaven shall be dissolved, 
and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll : 
and all their hosts shall fall down, as the leaf falleth 
off from the vine, and as a g falling^fg- from the fig-tree. 

5 For my sword shall be h bathed in heaven : be- 
hold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the 
people of my ' curse, to judgment. 

6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood ; it 
is made fat with fatness, and with the k blood of lambs 
and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams : for 
the Lord hath a sacrifice in ' Bozrah, and a great 
slaughter in the land of Idumea. 

7 And the m unicorns shall come down with them, 
and the bullocks with the bulls ; and their land shall 
be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with 
fatness. 

8 For it is the n day of the Lord's vengeance, and 
the year of recompenses for the ° controversy of Zion. 

9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, 
and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land 
thereof shall become p burning pitch. 

1 It shall not be quenched night nor day ; the 
smoke thereof shall go up for ever : from generation 
to generation it shall lie waste ; none shall pass through 
it for ever and ever : 

1 1 The cormorant and the bittern shall possess it ; 
the q owl also and the raven shall dwell in it : and he 
shall stretch out upon it the r line of confusion, and the 
stones of emptiness. 

12 They shall call the t nobles thereof to the king- 
dom, but 3 none shall be there, and all her princes shall 
be nothing. 

13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, 'nettles 
and brambles in the fortresses thereof; and it shall be 
a habitation of dragons, and a court for owls. 

14 The " wild beasts of the desert shall also meet 
with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall 
cry to his fellow ; the screech-owl also shall rest there, 
and find for herself a place of rest. 

1 5 There shall the great owl make her nest, and 
lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow ; there 
shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with 
her mate. 

16 Seek ye out of (he K book of the Lord, and 
read ; no one of these shall fail, none shall want her 
mate : for my mouth it hath commanded, and his 
y spirit it hath gathered them. 

1 7 And he hath cast the '■ lot for them, and his hand 
hath * divided it unto them by line : they shall possess 
it for ever, b from generation to generation shall they 
dwell therein. 

CHAP. XXXV. 

The joyful flourishing of Christ's kingdom. 

THE wilderness, and the a solitary place, shall be 
glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and 
blossom as the rose. 




2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with 
joy and singing ; the b glory of Lebanon shall be given 
unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon ; they 
shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of 
our God. 

3 c Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the 
feeble knees. 

4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, 

fear not; behold, your God will come with d ven- dch. 34, u 
geance, even God with a recompense ; he will come 
and e save you. 

5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be f opened, and 
the ears of the deaf shall be g unstopped : 

6 Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the 
tongue of the dumb h sing : for in the wilderness ' shall 
waters break out, and streams in the desert. 

7 And the k parched ground shall become a poo,, 
and the thirsty land springs of water : in the habitation 
of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass, with reeds 
and rushes. 

8 And a highway shall be there, and a way, and 
it shall be called, The way of holiness ; the l unclean 
shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the 
wayfaring men, though m fools, shall not err therein. 

9 No n lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast 
shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there : but 
the redeemed shall walk there. 

10 And the ° ransomed of the Lord shall return, 
and come to Zion with songs and p everlasting joy 
upon their heads : they shall obtain joy and gladness, 
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 

CHAP. XXXVI. " 

1 Sennacherib invadeth Judah. 4 Rabshakeh'' s blasphemous 
persuasions to the people. 
OW it came to pass in the a fourteenth year of 
Ying Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria 
came up against all the b defenced cities of Judah, and 
took them. 

2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from 
c Lachish to Jerusalem, unto king Hezekiah, with a 
t great army: and he stood by the conduit of the 
d upper pool, in the highway of the fuller's field. 

3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's 
son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, 
and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder. 

4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to 
Hezekiah, Thus saith the e great king, the king of 
Assyria, f What confidence is this wherein thou 
trustest ? 

5 I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words,) 
I have counsel and strength for war: now, on whom 
dost thou trust, that thou g rebellest against me ? 

6 Lo, thou trustest in the h staff of this broken reed, 
on Egypt ; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his 
hand, and pierce it : so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to 
all that ' trust in him. 

7 But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our 
God : is it not he whose k high places and whose altars 
Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to 
Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before ' this altar ? 

8 Now, therefore, give pledges, I pray thee, to my 
master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee m two 
thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set 
riders upon them. 

9 How then wilt thou turn away the n face of one 
captain of the least of my master's servants, and put 
thy trust "on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen ? 

10 And am 1 now come p up without the Lord

Christ a S amst this land to destroy it ? q The Lord said unto 

7io. me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. 

^■■^v-w 1 1 Then said Eliakim, and Shebna, and Joah, unto 

Ij, 25. SS Rabshakeh, Speak, f pray thee, unto thy servants in 

2 Cor. n, the Syrian language ; for we understand it : and speak 

not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the 

people that are on the wall. 

12 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me 

to thy master and to thee, to speak these words ? 

hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall,

16 Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus saith the 

king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a 
s i Sam. il, present, and x come out to me : and eat ye every one

18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying,

unto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid 
of the words that thou hast heard, w herewith the ser-

7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him ; and he 
shall hear a rumour, and k return to his own Ifind ; and 
I will cause him to fall by the ' sword in his own land. 

8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of li Sam.'iai 
Assyria warring against Libnah : for he had heard '^;. se 38 
that he was departed from m Lachish. Mat. 7, 2. 

9 And he " heard say concerning Tirhakah king of ™^- 36, a 
Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee : 14. *" 
and when he heard it, he sent messengers to Heze- L Sa 2a ^ 
kiah, saying, Mat.i5,32L 

1 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, Luke 4 > 2i) 
saying, Let not thy God in whom thou ° trustest de- 02 Kings 
ceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into *®; , 5 - „ 
the hand of the king of Assyria. Mat.27,'43. 

11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of As- 63 - 
syria have done to all lands, by destroying them utter- 
ly ; and shalt thou be delivered ? 

12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them 
which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Ha- 
ran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which 
were in Telassar ? 

1 3 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of 
Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, 
and Ivah? 

1 4 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand 
of the messengers, and read it : and Hezekiah went 
up unto the house of the Lord, and spread it p before 
the Lord. 

15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying, 

16 O q Lord of hosts, God of Israel, r that dwellest f**r\ v3 - 
between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou jj, i3. mss 
alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth ; thou hast Psai- 80, 1. 
made heaven and earth. 

17 s Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear; open sP». 5, 1,2. 
thine eyes, O Lord, and see ; and hear all the words Dan ' 9 ' 18 ' 
of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living 

God. 

1 8 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid 
waste all the nations, and their countries, 

19 And have cast their gods into the ' fire ; for they 1 2 Sam. 5 V 
were no gods, but the u work of men's hands, wood ^ h ; 40) , 9> 
and stone ; therefore they have destroyed them. 

20 Now, therefore, O Lord our God, save us from 
his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth x may 
know that thou art the Lord, even thou only. 

21 y Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent unto yDan'.9>2o, 
Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, ^ 49 8 
Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib & 65, 24. 
king of Assyria : * Acts 4, 31. 

22 This is the word which the Lord hath spoken 
concerning him, The z virgin, the daughter of Zion, 
hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn ; the ^ 
daughter of Jerusalem hath a shaken her head at a ¥s. 2 
thee. 

23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed ?

Sennacherib^ s destruction prophesied. CHAP. 

sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the 
besieged places, 

26 Hast thou not heard long ago how I have e done 
it ; and of ancient times that I have formed it ? now 
have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay 
waste defcnced cities into ruinous heaps. 

27 Therefore their inhabitants mere of small power, 
they were dismayed and confounded : they were as 
the f grass of the field, and as the green herb ; as the 
grass on the house-tops, and as corn blasted before it 
be grown up. 

28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and 
thy coming in, and thy rage against me. 

29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult. 
is come up into mine ears ; therefore will I put my 

gch.3o,28. g hook in thy nose, and my h bridle in thy lips, and I 

a^os T,2 4 ' will turn mee Dac k by tne wa y ky which thou earnest. 

30 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat 
this year such as groweth of itself; and the second 
year that which springeth of the same ; and in the 
third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and 
eat the fruit thereof. 

31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of 
Judah shall ' again take root downward, and bear 
fruit upward : 

32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a k remnant, 
and they that escape out of mount Zion : the zeal of 
the Lord of hosts shall do this. 

33 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the 
) ch. 36, 2. king of Assyria, He shall not come into this ' city, nor 

shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, 
nor cast a bank against it. 

34 By the m way that he came, by the same shall 
he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the 
Lord. 

35 For I will defend this city to save it, n for mine 
own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 

36 Then the angel of the Lord went forth, ° and 
smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and 
fourscore and five thousand : and when they arose 
early in the morning, behold, they were all dead 
corpses. 

37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria p departed, and 
went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. 

38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in 
the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammeleeh and 
Sharezer his q sons smote him with the sword ; and 
they escaped into the land of Armenia : and Esar- 
haddon his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAP. XXXVIIT. 

Hezekiah, by prayer, hath his life lengthened. 

IN a those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. 
And Isaiah the prophet, tin; son of Amoz, came 
unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 
Set thy house in order : for thou shalt die, and not live. 

2 Then Hezekiah b turned his face toward the wall, 
and prayed unto the Lord, 

3 And said, c Remember now, O Lord, I beseech 
thee, how 1 have walked before thee in truth, and 
with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good 
"in thy sight: and Hezekiah wept sore. 

4 Then came e the word of the Lord to Isaiah, 
saying, 

5 Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, 
the God of David thy father, 1 have r heard thy prayer, 
1 have seen thy tears: behold, I E will add unto thy 
days fift

hand of the king of Assyria : and I will defend this 

cit y- 

7 And this shall be a ' sign unto thee from the Lord, 
that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken ; 

8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the 
degrees, which is gone down in the sun-dial of Ahaz, 
ten degrees backward. So the sun returned t^v 
degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. 

9 IT The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when 
he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness : 

10 I said, in the k cutting off of my days, I shall go 
to the gates of the grave : I am deprived of the residue 
of my years. 

1 1 I said, I shall ' not see the Lord, even the Lord, 
in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more 
with the inhabitants of the world. 

1 2 Mine m age is departed, and is removed from me 
as a n shepherd's tent : I have cut off like a weaver 
my life ; he will cut me off with pining sickness : from 
day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. 

13 I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will 
he ° break all my bones : from day even to night wilt ° Ps. si 
thou make an end of me. 

14 Like a crane, or a swallow, so did I p chatter ; 
I did q mourn as a dove : mine eyes fail with T look- 
ing upward : O Lord, I am oppressed ; undertake 
for me.

And Hezekiah answered, f All that is in my house

that I have not shewed them. 

5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word 
of the Lord of hosts ; 

6 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thy 
house, and that which thy 6 fathers have laid up in 
store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon : 
nothing shall be left, saith the Lord. 

7 And of thy h son : that shall issue from thee, which 
thou shalt beget, shall they take away ; and they shall 
be ' eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

COMFORT ye, comfort ye a my people, saith your 
God. 

2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto 
her, that her warfare is b accomplished, that her ini- 
quity is pardoned : for she hath received of the Lord's 
hand e double for all her sins. 

3 The d voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, 
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in 
the desert a highway for e our God. 

4 Every f valley shall be exalted, and every g moun- 
tain and hill shall be made low : and the crooked shall 
be made straight, and the rough places plain : 

5 And the h glory of the Lord shall be revealed, 
and all flesh shall ' see it together : for the mouth of 
the Lord hath spoken it. 

6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall 
I cry ? k AH flesh fa grass, and all the goodliness 
thereof is as the flower of the field : 

7 The grass witheretk the flower fadeth : because 
i p=. 103, 16. the Spirit of the Lord ' bloweth upon it : surely the 

people fa grass. 

8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth ; but the 
m word of our God shall stand for ever. 

9 O Zion, that bringest n good tidings, get thee up 
into the high mountain ; O Jerusalem, that bringest 
good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength : lift it up, 
be not afraid ; say unto the cities of Judah, ° Behold 
your God ! 

10 Behold, the Lord p God will come with strong 
hand, and his arm shall rule for him : behold, his 
« reward is with him, and his work before him.

16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the & h' 6 ^ X

22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, 
and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers ; that

23 That bringeth the ' princes to nothing : he raa-

5 The isles saw it, and k feared ; the ends of the 
earth were afraid, drew ' near, and came. 

6 They m helped every one his neighbour ; and 
evert/ one said to his brother, Be of good courage. 

7 So the carpenter encouraged the n goldsmith, 
and he that sinootheth with the hammer him that 
smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering : 
and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be 
moved. 

8 But thou, Israel, art my ° servant, Jacob whom 
I have p chosen, the seed of Abraham my q friend. 

9 Thou whom I have r taken from the ends of the 
earth, and called thee from the B chief men thereof, 
and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have 
chosen thee, and * not cast thee away. 

10 Fear thou not; for lam " with thee; be not 
dismayed, for I am thy God : I will * strengthen thee ; 
yea, I will help thee ; yea, I will uphold thee with the 
right hand of my righteousness. 

1 1 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee 
shall be y ashamed and confounded : they shall be as 
nothing ; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 

1 2 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, 
even them that z contended with thee : they that war 
against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of 
a nought. 

13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy b right 
hand, saying unto thee, Fear not ; I will help thee. 

14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Is- 
rael ; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy 
Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 

1 5 Behold, I will make thee c a new sharp thresh- 
ing instrument having teeth : thou shalt d thresh the 
mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the 
hills as chaff. 

16 Thou shalt e fan them, and the wind shall carry 
them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them : 
and thou shalt f rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory 
in the Holy One of Israel. 

1 7 When the s poor and needy seek water, and there 
is h none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the 
Lord will hear them, / the God of Israel will not 
forsake them. 

1 8 I will ' open rivers in high places, and fountains 
in the midst of the valleys : I will make the wilder- 
ness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of 
water. 

19 I will plant in the k wilderness the cedar, the 
shittah-tree, and the myrtle, and the ' oil-tree ; I will 
set in the desert the fir-tree, and the pine, and the 
box-tree together ; 

20 That they may m see and know, and consider, 
and understand together, that the n hand of the Lord 
hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath 
created it. 

21 Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring 
forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. 

22 L: t them bring them forth, and ° shew us what 
shall happen : let them shew the former things what 
they be, that we may consider them, and know the 
latter end of them ; or declare us things for to come. 

23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that 
we may know that ye are gods : yea, p do good, or do 
evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. 

24 Behold, ye are of q nothing, and your work of 
nought : an abomination is. he that chooseth you. 

25 I have raised up r one from the north, and he. 
shall come : from the rising of the sun shall he || call 

3K 



upon my name ; and he shall come upon princes as 
upon mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay. 

26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we 
may know ? and before-time, that we may say, He is 
s righteous 1 yea, there is none that sheweth ; yea, 
there is none that declareth ; yea, there is none that 
heareth your words. 

27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold 
them : and I will give to * Jerusalem one that bring- 
eth good u tidings. 

28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even 
among themj and there was no counsellor, that, when 
I asked of them, could t answer a word. 

29 Behold, they are all x vanity ; their works are 
nothing : their molten images are wind and confusion. 

CHAP. XLII. 
The office of Christ graced with meekness and constancy. 

BEHOLD my a servant, whom I uphold ; mine 
elect, in whom my soul b delighteth : I have put 
my Spirit upon him ; he shall c bring forth judgment to 
the Gentiles. 

2 He shall d not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice 
to be heard in the e street. 

3 A f bruised reed shall he not break, and the smo- 
king flax shall he not quench : he shall bring forth 
judgment unto truth. 

4 He shall s not fail nor be discouraged, till he 
have h set judgment in the earth : and the isles shall 
wait for his law. 

5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the 
heavens, and stretched them out : he that spread 
forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it ; he 
that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit 
to them that walk therein ; 

6 I the Lord have ' called thee k in righteousness, 
and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give 
thee for ! a covenant of the people, for a light of the 
Gentiles ; 

7 To m open the blind eyes, to bring out the prison- 
ers from n the prison, and them that sit in darkness 
out of the prison-house. 

8 I am the Lord ; that is my name : and my glory 
will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven 
images. 

9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and 
new things do I declare : before they spring forth I 
tell you of them. 

10 Sing unto the Lord p a new song, and his praise 
from the end of the earth, ye that q go down to the 
sea, and all that is therein ; the isles, and the inhabit- 
ants thereof. 

1 1 Let the r wilderness and the cities thereof lift up 
their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit : let 
the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from 
the. top of the mountains. 

1 2 Let them 8 give glory unto the Lord, and declare 
his praise in the islands. 

1 3 The Lord shall go forth as * a mighty man, he 
shall stir up jealousy like a man of war : he shall cry ; 
yea, roar ; he shall "prevail against his enemies. 

1 4 I have long time x holden my peace ; I have 
been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a 
travailing woman ; I will y destroy and devour at once. 

15 I will make waste z mountains and hills, and dry 
up all their herbs ; and I will make the rivers islands, 
and I will dry up the pools. 

16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they 
a knew not ; I will lead them in paths that they have

not known : I will make darkness light before them, 
and crooked tilings straight. These things will I do 
unto them, and not forsake them. 

1 7 They shall be b turned back, they shall be 
greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say 
to the molten images, Ye are our gods. 

18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, thatye may c see. 

1 9 Who is blind, but d my servant ? or deaf, as my 
e messenger that I sent ? who is blind as he that is 
r perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant ? 

20 g Seeing many things, but thou h observest not ; 
opening the ears, but he heareth not. 

21 The Lord is ' well pleased for his righteousness' 
sake ; he will magnify the law, and make it k honour- 
able. 

22 But this is a people ' robbed and spoiled ; they 
are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in 
prison-houses : they are for a prey, and none deliver- 
eth ; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. 

23 Who among you will give ear to this ? who will 
m hearken, and hear for the time to come ? 

24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the 
robbers ? did not n the Lord, he against whom we 

have sinned ? for they would not walk in his ways, 
neither were they obedient unto his law. 

25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the p fury 
of his anger, and the strength of battle : and it hath 
set him on fire round about, yet he' q knew not ; and 
it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. 

CHAP. XLIII. 

The Lord comforieth the church with his promises. 

BUT now, thus saith the Lord that R created thee, 
O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear 
not ; for I have redeemed thee, I have b called thee 
by thy name ; thou art mine. 

2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be 
with thee ; and through the rivers, they shall not over- 
flow thee : when thou walkest through the c fire thou 
shalt not be burnt ; neither shall the flame kindle upon 
thee. 

3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of 
Israel, thy Saviour : d I gave Egypt for thy ransom, 
Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 

4 Since thou wast e precious in my sight, thou hast 
been honourable, and I have loved thee : therefore 
will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 

5 Fear not ; for I am with thee : I will bring thy 
seed from the f east, and gather thee from the g west ; 

6 I will say to the h north, ' Give up ; and to the 
south, k Keep not back : bring my sons from far, and 
my daughters from the ends of the earth ; 

7 Even every one that is ' called by my name : for 

1 have created him for m my glory, I have formed him ; 
yea, I have made him. 

8 n Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and 
the deaf that have ears. 

9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let 
the people be assembled: who among them can 
declare this, and shew us fonner things ? let them bring 
forth their witnesses, that they may be "justified: or 
let them hear, and say, It is truth. 

1 Ye are my p witnesses, saith the Lord, and my 
servant whom I have chosen ; that ye may know and 
q believe me, and understand that I am he : before 
me there was no God formed, neither shall there be 
after me. 

ill, even T I, am the Lord ; and besides me there 
is no Saviour. 



12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have 
shewed, when there was s no strange god among you : 
therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I 
am God. 

1 3 Yea, before the day was * I am he ; and there is 
none that can deliver out of my hand : I will work, 
and who shall let it ? 

14 Thus saith the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy 
One of Israel ; For " your sake I have sent to Baby- 
lon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the 
Chaldeans, whose cry is in the x ships. 

15 1 am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of 
Israel, your y King. 

16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh z a way in 
the sea, and a a path in the mighty waters ; 

1 7 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the 
army, and the power ; they shall lie down together, 
they shall b not rise : they are extinct, they are 
quenched as c tow. 

1 8 d Remember ye not the former things, neither 
consider the things of old. 

19 Behold, 1 will do e a new thing: now it shall 
spring forth ; shall ye not know it ? I will even make 
a way in r the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 

20 The g beast of the field shall honour me, the 
dragons and the owls : because I give waters in the 
wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to 
my people, my chosen. 

21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall 
h shew forth my praise. 

22 But thou hast ' not called upon me, O Jacob ; 
but thou hast k been weary of me, O Israel. 

23 Thou hast ' not brought me the small cattle of 
thy burnt-offerings, neither hast thou honoured me 
with thy sacrifices : I have not caused thee to serve 
with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. 

24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with 
money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy 
sacrifices ; but thou hast made me to serve with thy 
sins, thou hast m wearied me with thine iniquities. 

25 I, even I, am he that n blotteth out thy trans- 
gressions for mine ° own sake, and will not remember 
thy sins. 

26 p Put me in remembrance : let us q plead to- 
gether: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. 

27 Thy r first father hath sinned, and thy s teachers 
have transgressed against me. 

28 Therefore I have profaned l the princes of the 
sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the u curse, and 
Israel to reproaches. 

CHAP. XLIV. 

1 God comforieth the church with his promises. 7 The vanity 
of idqls. 

YET now hear, O a Jacob my servant ; and Israel, 
whom I have chosen : 

2 Thus saith the Lord that b made thee, and formed 
thee from the womb, which will help thee ; Fear not, 
O Jacob my servant ; and thou, c Jesurun, whom I 
have chosen. 

3 For I will d pour water upon him that is thirsty, 
and floods upon the dry ground ; I will pour my Spirit 
upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring : 

4 And they shall e spring up as among the grass, as 
willows by the water-courses. 

5 f One shall say, I am the g Lord's ; and another 
shall h call himself "by the name of Jacob ; and another 
shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and 
surname himself by the name of Israel.

6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his 
Redeemer the Lord of hosts ; I am the ' first, and I 
am the last ; and besides me there is no God. 

7 And who, as I, shall k call, and shall declare it, 
and set it in order for me, since I appointed the 
1 ancient people ? and the things that are coming, and 
shall come, let them shew unto them. 

8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid : have not I told 
thee from that time, and have declared it ? ye are 
even my witnesses. Is there a God besides me ? yea, 
there is t no God ; I know not any. 

9 They that make a graven image are all of them 
vanity ; and their delectable m things shall D not profit : 
and they are their own witnesses ; they see not, nor 
know ; that they may be ashamed. 

10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven 
image that is ° profitable for nothing? 

1 1 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed ; and 
the workmen, they are of men : let them all be 
gathered together, let them stand up ; yet they shall 
fear, and they shall be p ashamed together. 

1 2 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the 
coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it 
with the strength of his arms : yea, q he is hungry, and 
his strength faileth ; he drinketh no water, and is faint. 

1 3 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule, he marketh 
it out with a line, he fitteth it with planes, and he 
marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after 
the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man ; 
that it may remain in the r house. 

14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the 
cypress and the oak, which he s strengthened for him- 
self among the trees of the forest : he planteth an ash, 
and the rain doth nourish it. 

1 5 Then shall it be for a man to burn : for he will 
take thereof and *■■ warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, 
and baketh bread ; yea, he u maketh a god, and wor- 
shipped it : he maketh it a graven image, and faileth 
down thereto. 

16 He burnetii part thereof in the fire : with part 
thereof he eatetli flesh ; he roasteth roast, and is satis- 
fied ; yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am 
warm, I have seen the fire : 

17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even 
his graven image : he faileth down unto it, and wor- 
shippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me ; 
for thou art my god. 

1 8 Tliey have x not known nor understood : for he 
hath I shut their eyes, that they cannot see ; and their 
hearts, that they cannot understand. 

10 And none considereth in his heart, neither is 
there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have 
burnt part of it in the fire ; yea, also I have baked 
bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and 
eaten it; and shall I make the residue thereof an 
abomination ? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree ? 

20 He feedeth on ashes : y a deceived heart hath 
turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor 
say, Is there not ' a lie in my right hand ? 

21 a Remember these, O Jacob and Israel ; for thou 
art my servant : I have formed thee ; thou art my 
servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. 

22 I have blotted out, as b a thick cloud, thy trans- 
gressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins : return unto me ; 
for I have c redeemed thee.

it: shout, ye lower parts of the e earth : break forth

God calleth Cyrus for his church's sake. 

THUS saith the Lord to his a anointed, to Cyrus, 
whose right hand I have holden, to h subdue na- 
tions before him ; and I will loose the loins of kings, 
to open before him the two-leaved c gates ; and the 
gates shall not be shut : 

2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked 
places straight ; I will break in pieces the d gates of 
brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron : 

3 And I will give thee the e treasures of darkness, 
and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest 
f know that I the Lord which call thee by thy name, 
am the God of Israel. 

4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine 
s elect, I have even called thee by thy name : I have 
surnamed thee, though thou hast h not known me. 

5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no 
God besides me: 'I girded thee, though thou hast not 
known me ; 

6 That they may know from the k rising of the sun, 
and from the west, that there is none besides me : I 
am the Lord, and there is none else. 

7 I form the light, and create darkness ; 1 make 
1 peace, and create m evil : I the Lord do all these 
things. 

8 Drop down, ye n heavens, from above, and let the 
skies pour down ° righteousness : let the earth open, 
and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteous- 
ness spring up together. I the Lord have created it. 

9 Wo unto him that p striveth with his Maker ! Let 
the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. 
Shall the q clay say to him that fashioneth it, What 
makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands ? 

10 Wo unto him that saith unto his father, What 
begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou 
brought forth ? 

1 1 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, 
and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning 
my sons; and concerning the work of my hands 
r command ye me. 

12 I have made the earth, s and created man upon 
it : I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, 
and all their host have I commanded. 

1 3 l 1 have raised him up in righteousness, and I 
will direct all his ways: lie shall build my city, and 
he shall let go my captives, not for u price nor reward, 
saith the Lord of hosts.

14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and 
merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of 
stature, shall x come over y unto thee, and they shall 
be thine : they shall come after thee ; in chains they 
shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, 
they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely 
God is in thee, and there is none else ; there is no God. 

15 Verily, thou art a God that z hidest thyself, O 
God of Israel, the Saviour. 

16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all 
of them : they shall go to confusion together that are 
makers of t idols. 

1 7 But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an 
a everlasting salvation : ye shall not be ashamed nor 
confounded world without end. 

1 8 For thus saith the Lord that created the hea- 
vens, God himself that formed the earth and made it, 
he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he 
formed it to be b inhabited ; I am the Lord, and there 
is none else. 

1 9 I have not spoken in secret, c in a dark place of 
the earth : I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye 
me d in vain. I the Lord speak righteousness, I 
declare things that are right. 

20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near 
together, ye that are e escaped of the nations : they 
have no knowledge that set up the wood of their 
graven image, and pray unto a god that r cannot save. 

2 1 Tell ye, and bring them near ; yea, let them take 
counsel together : who hath declared this from ancient 
time ? who hath told it from that time 1 have not I the 
Lord? and there is no God else besides me; a just 
God, and a Saviour : there is none besides me. 

22 s Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends 
of the earth ; for I am God, and there is none else. 

23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of 
my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That 
h unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall 
swear. 

24 Surely, shall one say, In the Lord have I ' right- 
eousness and strength : even to him shall men come ; and 
all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 

25 In the Lord shall all the k seed of Israel be 
1 justified, and shall glory. 

CHAP. XLVI. 

Idols not comparable to God for power. 

BEL boweth down, Nebo stoopeth ; their idols 
were upon the a beasts, and upon the cattle : 
your carriages were heavy loaden : they are a burden 
to the weary beast. 

2 They stoop ; they bow down together ; they could 
not * deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into 
captivity. 

3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the 
remnant of the house of Israel, which are c borne 
by me from the belly, which are carried from the 
d womb : 

4 And even to your e old age T lam he; and even to 
hoar hairs will I carry you : I have made, and I will 
bear ; even I will carry, and will deliver you. 

5 To whom will ye E liken me, and make me equal, 
and compare me, that we may be like ? 

6 They h lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh 
silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith, and he 
maketh it a god : they fall down ; yea, they worship. 

7 They ! bear him upon die shoulder, they carry 
him, and set him in his place, and he standeth ; from 
his place shall he not remove : yea, one shall cry unto 



him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his 
trouble. 

8 Remember this, and shew yourselves k men ; 
bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. 

9 Remember the former things of old : for I am 
God, and there is ' none else ; I am God, and there is 
none like me ; 

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from 
ancient times tlie things that are not yet done, saying, 
m My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my 
pleasure : 

1 1 Calling a n ravenous bird from the east, the man 
that executeth ° my counsel from a far country : yea, 
I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass ; I have 
purposed it, I will also do it. 

1 2 Hearken unto me, ye p stout-hearted, that are 
far from righteousness : 

1 3 I bring near q my righteousness ; it shall not be 
far off, and my salvation shall not tarry : and I will 
place salvation in Zion for Israel r my glory. 

CHAP. XLVII. 

God' $ judgments upon Babylon and Chaldea. 

COME down, and sit in the a dust, O virgin daugh- 
ter of Babylon ; sit on the ground : there is no 
throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans : for thou b shalt 
no more be called tender and delicate. 

2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover 
thy locks, c make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass 
over the rivers. 

3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy 
shame shall be seen : I will d take vengeance, and I 
will e not meet thee as a man. 

4 As for f our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his 
name, the Holy One of Israel. 

5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into g darkness, O 
daughter of the Chaldeans : for thou shalt no more be 
called, The lady of kingdoms. 

6 I was h wroth with my people ; I have polluted 
mine inheritance, and given them into thy hand : thou 
didst shew them ' no mercy ; upon the ancient hast 
thou very heavily laid thy yoke. 

7 And thou saidst, I shall be a k lady for ever : so 
that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, nei- 
ther didst remember the latter end of it. 

8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given ' to 
pleasures, that dwellest carelessly ; that sayest in thy 
heart, m I am, and none else besides me ; I shall not 
sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children : 

9 But " these two things shall come to thee in 
a moment in one day, the loss of children, and 
widowhood : they shall come upon thee in their per- 
fection for the multitude of thy ° sorceries, and for the 
great abundance of thine enchantments. 

10 For thou hast p trusted in thy wickedness : thou 
hast said, None seeth me. Thy q wisdom and thy 
knowledge it hath perverted thee ; and thou hast said 
in thy heart, I am, and none else besides me. 

1 1 Therefore shall evil come upon thee ; thou shalt 
not know r from whence it riseth : and mischief shall 
fall upon thee ; thou shalt not be able s to put it off: 
and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which 
thou shalt not know. 

12 Stand now with thy Enchantments, and with 
the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast la- 
boured from thy youth ; if so be thou shalt be able to 
profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. 

13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy coun- 
sels. Let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the

HEAR ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called 
by the a name of Israel, and are come forth out 
of the waters of Judah ; which swear by the name of 
b Mat. 15,8. the Lord, and make b mention of the God of Israel, 
but not in truth nor in righteousness. 

2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and 
c stay themselves upon the God of Israel ; The Lord 
of hosts is his name. 

3 I have d declared the former tilings from the be- 
ginning ; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I 
shewed them ; I did them suddenly, and they e came 
to pass. 

4 Because I knew that thou art t obstinate, and thy 
neck is an iron sinew, and thy f brow brass ; 

5 I have even from the beginning declared it to 
thee ; before it came to pass I shewed it thee : lest 
thou shouldest say, Mine t idol hath done them ; and 
my graven image, and my molten image, hath com- 
manded them. 

6 Thou hast heard, see all this ; and will 6 not ye 
declare it ? I have shewed thee new things from this 
time, even h hidden things, and thou didst not know 
them. 

7 They are ' created now, and not from the begin- 
ning ; even before the day when thou heardest them 
not ; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. 

8 Yea, thou k heardest not ; yea, thou knewest not ; 
yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened : 
for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, 
and wast called a l transgressor from the womb. 

9 m For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, 
and for my " praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut 
thee not off. 

10 Behold, I have refined thee, but || not with sil- 
ver ; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 

1 1 For ° mine own sake, even for mine own sake, 
will I do it : for how should my name be polluted ? 

P ch. 42, 8. and I will p not give my glory unto another. 

12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my 
q called ; I am he : I am the r first, I also am the last. 

1 3 My hand also hath laid the 8 foundation of the 
earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens : 
when I l call unto them, they u stand up together. 

14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which

hath y loved him ; he will do his z pleasure on Baby- 
lon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

4 Then I said, I have laboured 6 in vain, I

h my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with

1 3 Sing, a O heavens ; and be joyful, O earth ; and 
break forth into singing, O mountains ; for the Lord 
hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon 
his afflicted. 

1 4 But b Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, 
and my Lord hath forgotten me. 

1 5 Can c a woman forget her d sucking child, that 
she should not have compassion on the son of her 
womb ? yea, they may forget, yet will f I not forget 
thee. 

16 Behold, I have E graven thee upon the palms of 
my hands ; thy h walls are continually before me. 

1 7 Thy ]| children shall make haste ; thy destroy- 
ers, and they that make thee waste, shall s go forth of 
thee. 

1 8 k Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold : 
all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. 
As I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely ' clothe 
thee with them all as with an ornament, and bind 
them on thee as a bride doeth. 

19 For thy m waste and thy desolate places, and 
the land of thy destruction, shall even now be n too 
narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that 
swallowed thee up shall be ° far away. 

20 The children which thou shalt p have, after thou 
hast q lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The 
place is too strait for me : give place for me that I 
may dwell. 

21 Then shalt thou say in thy heart, Who hath 
r begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, 
and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro 1 
and who hath brought up these ? Behold, I was left 
alone ; these, where had they been ? 

22 Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up 
my hand to the s Gentiles, and set up my standard to 
the people : and they shall bring thy sons in their 
arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their 
shoulders. 

23 And kings shall be thy l nursing-fathers, and 
their queens thy nursing-mothers: they shall bow 
clown to thee with their face toward the earth, and 
u lick up the dust of thy feet ; and thou shalt know 
that I am the Lord : for they shall not be ashamed 
that wait for me. 

24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the 
lawful captive delivered ? 

25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the x captives of 
the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the 
terrible shall be delivered : for ] will contend with 
him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy 
children. 

26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with 
their y own flesh ; and they shall be drunken with 
their own blood, as with sweet wine : and all flesh 
shall z know that I the Lord am thy Saviour, and thy 
Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 

CHAP. L. 

Christ sheweth that the dereliction of the Jews is not to be 
imputed to him. 

THUS saith the Lord, Where is the a bill of your 
mother's divorcement, whom I have put away ? 
or which of my b creditors is it to whom I have sold 
you ? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold your- 
selves, and for your transgressions is c your mother 
put away. 

2 Wherefore, when d I came, was there e no man ? 
when I called, was there none to answer ? Is my hand 
f shortened at all, that it cannot redeem ? or have I 



no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up 
the sea : I make the rivers a wilderness : their fish 
stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. 

3 I clothe the heavens w T ith blackness, and 1 make 
sackcloth their covering. 

4 The Lord God hath given me the g tongue of the 
learned, that 1 should know how to speak h a word in 
season to him that is weary : he wakeneth morning 
by morning ; he ' wakeneth mine ear to hear as the 
learned. 

5 The Lord God hath k opened mine ear, and I 
was not 1 rebellious, neither turned away back. 

6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my m cheeks 
to them that plucked off the hair : I hid not my face 
from shame and spitting. 

7 For the Lord God will n help me ; therefore shall 
I not be confounded : therefore have I set my face 
like a flint, and I know that 1 shall ° not be ashamed. 

8 He is p near that justifieth me ; who will contend 
with me ? let us q stand together : who is mine adver- 
sary ? let him come near to me. 

9 Behold, the Lord God will help me ; who is he 
that shall condemn me ? lo, they all shall r wax old 
as a garment ; the moth shall eat them up. 

1 Who is among you that s feareth the Lord, that 
1 obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh u in 
darkness, and hath no light ? let x him trust in the 
name of the Lord, and y stay upon his God. 

1 1 Behold, all ye that z kindle a fire, that compass 
your selves about with sparks ; walk in the light of your 
fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall 
ye have of my hand, ye shall lie down a in sorrow. 

CHAP. LI. 

An exhortation, after the pattern of Abraham, to trust in 
Christ. 
EARKEN to me, ye that follow after a right- 
eousness, ye that seek the Lord : look unto the 
rock whence ye are hewn, and to the b hole of the pit, 
whence ye are digged. 

2 Look unto c Abraham your father, and unto Sarah 
that bare you : for I d called him alone, and e blessed 
him, and increased him. 

3 For the Lord shall f comfort Zion : he will com- 
fort all her g waste places, and he will make her wil- 
derness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of 
the Lord ; joy and gladness shall be found therein, 
thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. 

4 Hearken unto me, my people, and give ear unto 
me, O my nation : for h a law shall proceed from me, 
and I will make my judgment to rest for ' a light of 
the people. 

5 k My righteousness is near ; my salvation is gone 
forth, and mine arms shall judge the people : the isles 
shall wait upon me, and on mine l arm shall they trust. 

6 Lift up your eyes to the m heavens, and look upon 
the earth beneath ; for the heavens shall vanish away 
like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a gar- 
ment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like 
manner : but n my salvation shall he for ever, and my 
righteousness shall not be abolished. 

7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, 
the people in whose ° heart is my law ; fear ye not 
the p reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their 
reviiings. 

8 For the q moth shall eat them up like a garment, 
and the r worm shall eat them like wool : but my right- 
eousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from 
generation to generation.

9 3 Awake, awake, * put on strength, O arm of the 
Lord ; awake, as in the ancient days, in the genera- 
tions of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, 
and wounded the u dragon ? 

10 Art thou not it which hath x dried the sea, the 
waters of the great deep ; that hath made the depths 
of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over ? 

1 1 Therefore the y redeemed of the Lord shall 
return, and come with singing unto Zion ; and ever- 
lasting joy shall be upon their 'head : they shall obtain 
gladness and joy ; and sorrow and mourning shall flee 
away. 

1 2 I, even I, am he that a comforteth you : who art 
thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall 
die, and of the son of man which shall be made as 
b grass ; 

13 And forgettest the Lord thy Maker, that hath 
stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations 
of the earth ; and hast feared continually every day, 
because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready 
to destroy ? and c where is the fury of the oppressor ? 

14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be 
loosed, and that he should not die in the d pit, nor that 
his bread should fail. 

15 But I am the Lord thy God, that e divided the 
sea, whose waves roared : The Lord of hosts is his 
name. 

16 And I have f put my words in thy mouth, and 
have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I 
may g plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of 
the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people. 

1 7 h Awake, awake, stand up, ' O Jerusalem, which 
ha'st drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his 
fury : thou hast drunken the k dregs of the cup of 
trembling, and wrung them out. 

I Mat. 9, 36. 18 There is none to ' guide her among all the sons

21 Therefore, hear now this, thou afflicted, and 
n Lam. 3, drunken, but a not with wine : 

22 Thus saith thy Lord, the Lord, and thy God 
that r pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have 
taken s out of thy hand the cup of trembling, even the 
dregs of the cup of my fury ; thou shalt no more drink 
it again : 

23 But I will put it l into the hand of them that 
afflict thee ; which have said to thy soul, u Bow down, 
that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as 
the ground, and as the street, to them that went 
over.

Assyrian oppressed them h without cause. 

5 Now, therefore, ! what have I here, saith the 
Lord, that my people is taken away for nought ? They 
that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord, 
and my name continually every day is k blasphemed. 

6 Therefore my people shall know \ my name :

there is no beauty that we should desire him. 

3 He is despised and c rejected of men ; a man of c Luke 19,

CHAP. LTV. 

The prophet prophesieth the preservation of the church. 

SING, a O barren, thou that didst not bear ; break 
forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst 
b not travail with child : for c more are the children of 
the desolate than the children of the married wife, 
saith the Lord. 

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them d stretch 
forth the curtains of thy habitations : spare not, lengthen 
thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes : 

3 For thou shalt e break forth on the right hand and 
on the left ; and f thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, 
and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 

4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed : neither 
be thou confounded ; for thou shalt not be put to 
shame : for thou shalt g forget the shame of thy youth, 
and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widow- 
hood any more. 

5 For thy Maker is thy h husband ; the Lord of 
hosts is his name ; and thy Redeemer, the Holy One 
of Israel ; The God of the ' whole earth shall he be 
called. 

6 For the Lord hath k called thee as a woman for- 
saken and grieved in spirit, and l a wife of youth, when 
thou wast refused, saith thy God. 

7 For a m small moment have I forsaken thee ; but 
with great mercies will I gather thee. 

8 In a little wrath n I hid my face from thee for a 
moment ; but with ° everlasting kindness will I have 
mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. 

9 For this is as the p waters of Noah unto me : for 
as I have * sworn that the waters of Noah should no 
more go over the earth ; so have I sworn that I would 
not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. 

10 For the mountains shall r depart, and the hills be 
removed ; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, 
neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, 
saith the Lord that hath 8 mercy on thee. 

1 1 O thou * afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not 
comforted, behold, I will lay thy u stones with fair 
colours, and lay thy x foundations with sapphires. 

1 2 And I will make thy windows of agates, and 
thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant 
stones. 

1 3 And all thy children shall be ? taught of the Lord ; 
and great shall be the z peace of thy children. 

14 a In righteousness shalt thou be established: 



thou shalt be far from oppression ; for thou shalt not 
fear : and from terror ; for it shall not come near thee. 

1 5 Behold, they shall surely b gather together, but 
not by me : whosoever shall gather together against 
thee shall fall for thy sake. 

1 6 Behold, I have c created the smith that bloweth 
the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instru- 
ment for his work ; and I have created the waster to 
destroy. 

1 7 No d weapon that is formed against thee shall 
prosper ; and every e tongue that shall rise against 
thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the 
heritage of the servants of the Lord ; and their right- 
eousness is of me, saith the Lord. 

CHAP. LV. 

The prophet, with the promises of Christ, calletk to faith. 

HO, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the 
a waters, and he that hath b no money ; come 
ye, c buy and eat ; yea, come, buy wine and milk 
without money, and without price. 

2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is 
d not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth 
not ? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that 
which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 

3 Incline your ear, e and come unto me : hear, and 
your soul shall live ; and I will make an f everlasting 
covenant with you, even g the sure mercies of David. 

4 Behold, I have given him for a h witness to the 
people, ' a leader and commander to the people. 

5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou k know- 
est not ; and nations that knew not thee shall run unto 
thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy 
One of Israel ; for he hath * glorified thee. 

6 Seek ye the Lord m while he may be found, call 
ye upon him while he is near. 

7 Let the n wicked forsake his way, and the unright- 
eous man his ° thoughts : and let him return unto the 
Lord, and he will have mercy upon him ; and to our 
God, for he will p abundantly pardon. 

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither 
are q your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 

9 For as the r heavens are higher than the earth, so 
are my ways higher than your ways, and my 8 thoughts 
than your thoughts. 

1 For as the l rain cometh down, and the snow, 
from heaven, and returneth not thither, but u watereth 
the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that 
it may give x seed to the sower, and bread to the 
eater ; 

1 1 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my 
mouth : it shall not y return unto me void ; but it shall 
accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper 
in the thing whereto I sent it. 

12 For ye shall * go out with joy, and be led ferth 
with peace : a the mountains and the hills shall break 
forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the 
field shall clap their hands. 

13 Instead of the b thorn shall come up the fir-tree, 
and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle-tree : 
and it shall be to the Lord for c a name, and for an 
everlasting sign, that shall not be cut off.

3 Neither let the son of the e stranger, that hath 
joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord 
hath utterly separated me from his people : neither let 
the eunuch say, Behold, I am f a dry tree. 

4 For thus saith the Lord unto the g eunuchs that 
keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that h please 
me, ana take hold of my covenant ; 

5 Even unto them will I give in my ' house, and 
within my walls, a place and a name k better than of 
sons and of daughters : I will give them an everlasting 
name, that shall not be cut off. 

6 Also the sons of the stranger that 'join themselves 
to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of 
the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth 
the sabbath from polluting it, and m taketh hold of my 
covenant ; 

7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and 
make them joyful in n my house of prayer ; their 

burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted 
upon mine altar : for my house shall be called p a 
house of prayer for '' all people. 

8 The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of 
Israel, saith, Yet will I r gather others to him, besides 
those that are s gathered unto him. 

9 All ye beasts of the field, come to * devour, yea, 
all ye beasts in the forest. 

1 His watchmen are u blind ; they are all x igno- 
rant, they are all dumb dogs, they y cannot bark ; 
sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 

1 1 Yea, they are z greedy dogs which can never 
have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot 
understand ; they all look to their own way, every one 
for his a gain from his quarter. 

1 2 Come ye, say they, I will b fetch wine, and we 
will fill ourselves with strong drink ; and c to-morrow 
shall be as to-day, and d much more abundant. 

CHAP. LVII. 

1 The blessed death of the righteous. 3 God reproveth the Jews. 

THE righteous a perisheth, and no man layeth it 
to heart ; and merciful men are taken away, 
none considering that the righteous is taken away from 
the b evil to come. 

2 He shall enter into c peace : they shall rest in 
their ° beds, each one walking in his uprightness. 

3 But draw near hither, ye e sons of the sorceress, 
the seed of the adulterer and the whore. 

4 Against whom do ye f sport yourselves ? against 
whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the 
tongue ? are ye not children of transgression, a seed 
of falsehood ; 

5 E Inflaming yourselves with idols under every 
green tree, h slaying the children in the valleys under 
the clifts of the rocks ? 

6 Among the ' smooth stones of the stream is thy 
portion ; they, they are thy lot ; even to them hast thou 
poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered a meat- 
offering. Should I receive k comfort in these ? 

7 Upon ' a lofty and high mountain hast thou set 
thy bed : even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice. 

8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set 
up thy m remembrance ; for thou hast discovered thy- 
self to another n than me, and art gone up : thou hast 
enlarged thy bed, and ° made a covenant with them ; 
thou lovedst their bed where thou p sawest it. 

9 And thou wenlest to the king with q ointment, 
and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy

LlHiOlt 

CHRIST 




The Jews reproved, 

messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto 
hell. 

1 Thou art r wearied in the greatness of thy way ; 
yet saidst thou not, There is 3 no hope : thou hast found 
the life of thy hand ; therefore thou wast not grieved. 

11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, 
that thou hast ? lied, and hast not remembered me, nor 
laid it to thy heart ? have not I " held my peace even 
of old, and thou fearest me not ? 

1 2 I will declare thy x righteousness, and thy works ; 
for they shall not y profit thee. 

1 3 When thou z criest, let thy companies a deliver 
thee : but the wind shall carry them all away ; vanity 
shall take them : but he that, putteth his trust b in me 
shall c possess the land, and shall inherit my holy 
mountain ; 

1 4 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare 
the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way 
of my people.

trite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the 
humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 

16 For I will not f contend for ever, neither will I 
be always wroth : for the spirit should B fail before ine, 
and the. souls which I have made. 

17 For the iniquity of his h covetousness was I hJer. 6, 13 
wroth, and smote him : I hid me, and was wroth, and 
he ' went on frowardly in the way of his heart. 

18 I have k seen his ways, and will heal him : 1 
will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and 
to his ' mourners. 

1 9 I create the m fruit of the lips ; Peace, peace to 
him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the 
Lord ; and I will heal him. 

20 But the wicked are like the n troubled sea, when 
it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 

21 There is ° no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

The prophet dcclareth what promises are due to the keeping 
of the sabbath. 

CRY a aloud, spare not ; lift up thy voice like a 
trumpet, and shew my people their h transgres- 
sion, and the house of Jacob their sins. 

2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my 
ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook 
not the ordinance of their God : they ask of me the 
ordinances of justice ; they take delight in approaching 
to God. 

3 c Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou cMai. :t.ii

thou takest no knowledge ? Behold, in the '' day of a Ezek. 20

4 Behold, ye fast for e strife and debate, and to

as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on

CHAP. LIX. 

1 The damnable nature of sin. 3 The sins of the Jews. 

BEHOLD, the Lord's hand is a not shortened, 
that it cannot save ; neither his ear heavy, that 
it cannot hear : 

2 But your iniquities have b separated between you 
and your God, and your sins have c hid his face from 
you, that he will not hear. 

3 For d your hands are defiled with blood, and 
your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken 
c lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 

4 f None calleth for justice, nor any g pleadeth for 
truth : they trust in vanity, and speak lies ; they 
h conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 

5 They hatch ' cockatrice' eggs, and weave the 
k spider's web : he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and 
that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. 

6 Their ' webs shall not become garments, neither 
shall they cover themselves with their works : then- 
works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence 
is in their hands. 

7 Their m feet run to evil, and they make haste to 
shed innocent blood : their thoughts are thoughts of 
iniqwity ; wasting and destruction are in their paths. 

8 The way of peace they know not ; and there is 
" no judgment in their goings : they have made them 
° crooked paths ; whosoever goeth therein shall not 
know peace. 

9 Therefore is p judgment far from us, neither doth 
justice overtake us : we wait q for light, but behold 
obscurity ; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. 

1 We r grope for the wall like the blind, and we 
grope as if we had no eyes : we stumble at noon-day

men. 

1 1 We s roar all like bears, and mourn sore like 
doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for 
salvation, but it is far off from us. 

1 2 For our * transgressions are multiplied u before 
thee, and our sins testify against us : for our trans- u Ps - 90 > 8 
gres'sions are x with us ; and as for our iniquities, we x Ex. 34, 9.

and departing away from our God, speaking oppres- 
sion and revolt, y conceiving and uttering from the yJam.1,15. 
z heart words of falsehood. zMat. 12, 

14 And judgment is turned away backward, and 34 - 
justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the 
street, and equity cannot enter. 

1 5 Yea, truth a faileth ; and he that b departeth 
from evil maketh himself a prey : and the Lord saw 
it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. 

1 6 And he saw that there was c no man, and won- 
dered that there teas no intercessor ; therefore d his 
arm brought salvation unto him ; and his righteous- 
ness, it sustained him. 

17 For he e put on righteousness as a breastplate, e Ps. 93, 1. 
and a helmet of salvation upon his head ; and he put 

on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was 
clad with zeal as a cloak. 

1 8 According to their f deeds, accordingly he will f ch. 63, 3 
repay, fury to s his adversaries, recompense to his gch. 41, 1 
enemies ; to the islands he will repay recompense. 

1 9 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from 
the h west, and his glory from the rising of the sun.

k Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against 
him.

21 As for me, this is my "covenant with them, o Heb. io, 
saith the Lord ; My Spirit that is upon thee, and p my *j ohn6 3fi 
words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart 2 Cor. 3, 6.

10 And the sons of x strangers shall y build up thy

1 1 Therefore thy a gates shall be open continually : 
they shall not be shut day nor night ; that men may 
bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that 
their kings may be brought. 

12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve 
thee shall b perish ; yea, those nations shall be utterly 
wasted. 

1 3 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee,

15 Whereas thou hast been f forsaken and hated, 
so that no man went through thee, I will make thee 
an E eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. 

1 6 Thou shalt also h suck the milk of the Gentiles, 
and shalt suck the breasts of kings : and thou shalt 
know that I the Lord am thy ' Saviour and thy Re- 
deemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 

1 7 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will 
bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron : 
I will also make thy k officers ' peace, and thine 
exactors righteousness. 

1 8 m Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, 
wasting nor destruction within thy borders : but thou 
shalt call thy n walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. 

1 9 The ° sun shall be no more thy light by day ; 
neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto 
thee : but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting 
light, and thy God thy glory ; 

20 Thy sun shall no more p go down ; neither shall 
thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine 
everlasting light, and the days of thy i mourning shall

5 And k strangers shall stand and feed your ' flocks, 
and the sons of the alien shall be your m plowmen, 
and your vine-dressers. 

6 But ye shall be named the n priests of the Lord ; 
men shall call you the ministers of our God : ye shall 
eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall 
you boast yourselves. 

7 For your ° shame you shall have double, and for 
confusion they shall rejoice in their portion : therefore 
in their land they shall possess the double ; everlast- 
ing joy shall be unto them. 

8 For I the Lord p love judgment, I hate robbery P p '- n > '

truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with 

them. 

9 And their r seed shall be known among the Gen- 
tiles, and their offspring among the people : all that 
see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the 
seed which the Lord hath s blessed. 

10 I will * greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul 
shall be joyful in my God : for he hath clothed me 

with the u garments of salvation, he hath covered me u Rom - 13 . 
with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom deck- o a i. 3,27. 
eth himself with ornaments, and as x a bride adorneth 
herself with her jewels. 

1 1 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as 
the y garden causeth the things that are sown in it to 
spring forth ; so the Lord God will cause z righteous- 
ness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Christ sheweth his power to save. 

WHO a is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed 
garments from Bozrah ? this that is b glorious 
in his apparel, travelling in c the greatness of his 
strength ? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to 
save. 

2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy 
garments like him that treadeth in the wine-fat ? 

3 I have d trodden the wine-press alone ; and of the 
people there was none with me : for I will tread them 
in mine anger, and trample them in my fury ; and 
their e blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, 
and I wilLstain all my raiment. 

4 For the f day of vengeance is in my heart, and 
the year of my redeemed is come. 

5 And I looked, and there was none to help ; and I 
6 wondered that there was none to uphold ; therefore 
mine own arm brought salvation unto me ; and my 
fury, it upheld me. 

6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, 
and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring 
down their strength to the earth. 

7 I will h mention the loving-kindnesses of the Lord, 
and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the 
Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness 
toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed 
on them according to his mercies, and according to 
the multitude of his loving-kindnesses. 

8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children 
that will not lie : so he was their Saviour. 

9 In all their affliction ' he was afflicted, and the 
angel of his k presence saved them : in his ' love and 
in his pity he redeemed them : and he m bare them, 
and carried them all die days of old. 

10 But they rebelled, and n vexed his holy Spirit : 
therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he 
fought against them. 

1 1 Then he p remembered the days of old, q Moses 
and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them 
up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock ? where 
is he that put his r holy Spirit within him 1 

1 2 That led them by the right hand of Moses with 
" his glorious arm, l dividing the water before them, to 
make himself an everlasting u name 1 

1 3 That led them through the deep, * as a horse in

4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in 
the monuments; which eat swine's flesh, and broth 
of E abominable things is in their vessels ; 

5 Which b say, Stand by thyself, come not near to 
me ; for I am ' holier than thou. These are a smoke 
in my nose, a k fire that burnetii all the day. 

6 Behold, it is ' written before me ; 1 will m not 
keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense 
into their bosom, 

7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers 
n together, saith the Lord, which have burnt incense 
upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the 
hills : therefore will I measure their former work into 
their bosom. 

8 Thus saith the Lord, As the ° new wine is found 
in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not ; for p a 
blessing is in it : so will I do for my q servants' sakes, 
that I may not destroy them all. 

9 And I will bring forth r a seed out of Jacob, and 
out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains : and mine 
elect shall 8 inherit it, and my l servants shall dwell 
there. 

1 And u Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the 
valley of x Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, 
for my people that have sought me. 

11 But ye are they that forsake the Lord, that 
forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that 
y troop, and that furnish the drink-offering unto that 
number. 

12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and 
ye shall all bow down to the slaughter : because 
when I z called, ye did not answer ; when I spake, ye 
did not hear ; but did evil before mine eyes, and did 
choose that wherein I delighted not. 

1 3 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my 
servants shall a eat, but ye shall be hungry : behold, 
my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty : 
behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be 
ashamed : 

1 4 Behold, my servants shall b sing for joy of heart, 
but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl 
for c vexation of spirit. 

1 5 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto 
my chosen : for the Lord God shall slay thee, and 
call his servants by d another name : 

1 6 That he who blesseth himself in the earth, shall 
bless himself in the God of t truth ; and he that swear- 
eth in the earth, shall swear by the God of truth ; be- 
cause the former troubles are forgotten, and because 
they are hid from mine eyes. 

1 7 For, behold, I create e new heavens, and a new 
earth : and the former shall not be remembered, nor 
come into mind. 

18 But be you glad and rejoice for ever in that 
which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem f a 
rejoicing, and E her people a joy. 

19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my 
people : and the voice of weeping shall be no more 
heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 

20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, 
nor an old man that hath not h filled his days : for the 
child shall die ' a hundred years old ; but the sinner, 
being a hundred years old, shall be accursed. 

21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; 
and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of 
them.

and the earth is my footstool : b where is the

2 For all those things hath my hand made, and all 
those things have been, saith the Lord : but to this 
man will 1 look, even to him that is poor and of a 
c contrite spirit, and d trembleth at my word. 

3 He that killeth an e ox is as if he slew a man ; fxitusf'u 
he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck ; 

he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's 
blood ; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an 
idol : yea, they have chosen their own wa3 r s, and their 
f soul delighteth in their abominations. 

4 I also will choose their g delusions, and will bring g Ps. 50, 21 
their fears upon them ; because when I called, none 

did answer ; when I spake, they did not hear : but 
they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which 
I delighted not.

his word ; Your h brethren that ' hated you, that k cast kjviat. 2

The time and the calling of Jeremiah. 

THE a words of Jeremiah the son of b Hilkiah, of 
the priests that were in c Anathoth, in the land 
of Benjamin : 

2 To whom t«he word of the Lord u came in the 
dch.26,15. days of e Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in 
e 2 Kings jj ie thirteenth year of his reign. 

3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of 
Josiah king of Judah, unto the || end of the eleventh 
year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, 
unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the 
fifth month. 

4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

5 Before I f formed thee in the belly g I knew thee ; 
and before thou earnest forth out of the womb I 
h sanctified thee ; and I ordained thee a prophet unto 
the nations. 

6 Then said I, ! Ah, Lord God ! behold, k I cannot 
speak ; for I am a ' child. 

7 But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child : 
for thou shalt go to all that I shall m send thee, and 
n whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 

8 ° Be not afraid of their faces : for p I am with 
thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. 

9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, and q touched 
my mouth : and the Lord said unto me, Behold, I 
have r put my words in thy mouth. 

10 See, I have this day s set thee over the nations, 
and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, 
and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to 
plant. 

11 Moreover, (he word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou ? And I said, I see 
a l rod of an u almond-tree. 

1 2 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast x well 
seen : for I will y hasten my word to perform it. 

13 And the word of the Lord came unto me the

of pits ; through a land of drought, and of the shadow 
of death, through a land that no man m passed through, 
and where no man dwelt ? 

7 And I brought you into a n plentiful country, to 
eat the fruit thereof, and the goodness thereof: but 
when ye entered, ye ° denied my land, and made my 
heritage an abomination. 

8 The p priests said not, Where is the Lord ? and 
they that q handle the law r knew me not : the pastors 
also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophe- 
sied by Baal, and walked after things that do s not profit. 

9 Wherefore I will yet 4 plead with you, saith the 
Lord, and with your children's children will I plead. 

10 For pass over the u isles of Chittim, and see; 
and send unto * Kedar, and consider diligently, and 
see if there be such a thing : 

1 1 Hath a nation y changed their gods, which are 
yet z no gods ? but my people have changed their 
a glory for that which doth not profit. 

12 Be b astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be 
horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. 

13 For my people have committed two evils ; they 
have forsaken me, the c fountain of living waters, and 
hewed them out u cisterns, broken cisterns, that can 
hold no water. 

1 4 Is Israel a e servant 1 is he f a home-born slave? 
why is he spoiled ? 

1 5 The g young lions roared upon him and yelled, 
and they made his land waste : his cities are burnt 
11 without inhabitant. 

1 6 Also the children of ' Noph and Tahapanes 
have broken the crown of thy head. 

1 7 Hast thou not k procured this unto thyself, in 
that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he 
1 led thee by the way ? 

1 8 And now, what hast thou to do in the m way of 
Egypt, to drink the waters of n Sihor ? or what hast 
thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters 
of the river? 

1 9 Thine ° own wickedness shall correct thee, and 
thy backslidings shall reprove thee : know, therefore, 
and see, that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou 
hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear is 
not in thee, saith the Lord God of hosts. 

20 For of p old time I have broken thy yoke, and 
burst thy bands ; and q thou saidst, I will not trans- 
gress ; when upon every r high hill, and under every 
green tree, thou wanderest, playing the harlot. 

21 Yet I had s planted thee a noble vine, wholly a 
right seed : how then art thou turned into the l de- 
generate plant of a strange vine unto me ? 

22 For though thou wash thee with u nitre, and 
take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is x marked 
before me, saith the Lord God. 

23 How canst y thou say, I am not polluted, I have 
not gone after Baalim ? 7 - See thy way in the valley, 
know what thou hast done : thou art a swift drome- 
dary traversing her ways ; 

24 A wild ass a used to the wilderness, that snuff- 
eth up the wind at her pleasure ; in her b occasion 
who can turn her away ? all they that seek her will 
not weary themselves ; in her c month they shall find 
her. 

25 Withhold thy '' foot from being unshod, and thy 
throat from thirst : but thou saidst, There is e no hope : 
no j for I have loved strangers, and after them will 
Tgo. 

26 As the thief is f ashamed when he is found, so

thee ? ' let them arise, if they can save thee in the fi S a 3 45 m

10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah

Israel hath justified t herself more than treacherous 
Judah. 

1 2 Go, and proclaim these words toward the a north, 
and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the 
Lord, and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon 
you ; for I am b merciful, saith the Lord, and I will 
not keep anger c for ever. 

13 Only u acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou

g one of a city, and two of a famdy, and I will bring 
you to Zion : 

15 And I will give you h pastors according to my 
heart, which shall i feed you with knowledge and 
understanding. 

16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be k multi- 
plied and increased in the land, in ' those days, saith 
the Lord, tney shall say no more, The In ark of the 
covenant of the Lord ; neither shall it come to mind, 
neither shall they remember it, neither shall they visit

17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the

gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusa-

pch.3i,33. p imagination of their evil heart. 

1 8 In those days the house of Judah shall walk 
Q with the house of Israel, and they shall come to 
gether out of the land of the north to the land that J 
have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the 
Lord, that the r heart of the king shall perish, and the 
heart of the princes ; and the priests shall be asto-

10 Then said I, Ah, Lord God ! surely l thou hast

Ye shall have peace ; whereas the sword reacheth

Before

cir. 612. 



1 8 Thy way and thy doings have m procured these 
things unto thee : this is thy wickedness, because it is 
n bitter, because it reacheth unto thy heart. 

19 ° My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my 
very heart ; my heart maketh a noise in me : I cannot 
hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, 
the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 

20 Destruction p upon destruction is cried : for the 
whole land is spoiled : suddenly are my tents spoiled, 
and my curtains in a moment. 

21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the 
sound of the trumpet ? 

22 For my people is q foolish, they have not known 
me ; they are sottish children, and they have none 
understanding : they are r wise to do evil, but to do 
good they have s no knowledge. 

23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was ' without form 
and void ; and the heavens, and they had u no light. 

24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they x trembled, 
and all the hills moved lightly. 

25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the 
y birds of the heavens were fled. 

26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilder- 
ness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at 
the z presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger. 

27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land 
shall be desolate ; yet will I not make a a full end. 

28 For this shall the earth b mourn, and the hea- 
vens above be black : because I have spoken it, I 
have purposed it, and will c not repent, neither will I 
turn back from it. 

29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the 
horsemen and bowmen ; they shall go into d thickets, 
and climb up upon the rocks : every city shall be for- 
saken, and not a man dwell therein. 

30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do 1 
Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though 
thou e deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though 
thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou 
make thyself fair ; thy f lovers will despise thee, they 
will seek thy life. 

31 For I have heard a voice as g of a woman in 
travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth 
her first child ; the voice of the daughter of Zion, that 
bewaileth herself, that h spreadeth her hands, saying, 
Wo is me now ! for my soul is weaned because of 
' murderers. 

CHAP. V. 

The judgments of God upon the Jews for their perverseness. 

RUN ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusa- 
lem, and see now, and know, and seek in the 
broad places thereof, if ye can a find a man, if there 
be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth ; 
and I will b pardon it. 

2 And though they c say, The Lord liveth, surely 
they swear J falsely. 

3 O Lord, are not e thine eyes upon the truth ? thou 
hast f stricken them, but they have not grieved ; thou 
hast consumed them, but they have g refused to receive 
correction : they have made their faces harder than a 
h rock ; they have refused to return. 

4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor ; they are 
foolish : for they know not the ' way of the Lord, nor 
the judgment of their God. 

5 I will get me unto the k great men, and will 
speak unto them : for they have known the way of 
the Lord, and the judgment of their God : but ' these 
have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, 
and a wolf of m the evenings shall spoil them, a 
n leopard shall watch over their cities : every one that 
goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces ; because 
their transgressions are many, and their backslidings 
are increased. 

7 How shall J pardon thee for this 1 thy children 
have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are ° no 
gods : when I had p fed them to the full, they then 
committed q adultery, and assembled themselves by 
troops in the harlots' houses. 

8 They were as r fed horses in the morning : every 
one neighed after his s neighbour's wife. 

9 Shall I not visit for these things ? saith the Lord : 
and shall not my soul be t avenged on such a nation 
as this 1 

1 Go ye up upon her u walls, and destroy ; but 
make not a full end : take away her battlements ; for 
they are x not the Lord's. 

1 1 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah 
have y dealt very treacherously against me, saith the 
Lord. 

12 They have z belied the Lord, and said, a It is not 
he, neither shall evil come upon us, neither shall we 
see sword nor famine ; 

1 3 And the prophets shall become b wind, and the 
word is c not in them : thus shall it be done unto them. 

14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, 
Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my 
words in thy mouth d fire, and this people wood, and 
it shall devour them. 

1 5 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you e from far, O 
house of Israel, saith the Lord : it is a mighty nation, 
it is an f ancient nation, a nation whose language thou 
knowest not, neither understandest what they say. 

16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are 
all mighty men. 

1 7 And they shall E eat up thy harvest, and thy 
bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat : 
they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds ; they shall 
eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees : they shall impover- 
ish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the 
sword. 

18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I 
will not make a full end with you. 

19 And it shall come to pass, when ye slml say. 
h Wherefore doth the Lord our God all these things 
unto us ? then shalt thou answer them, Likf> as ye 
have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your 
land ; so shall ye serve ' strangers in a land that is 
not yours. 

20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish 
it in Judah, saying, 

21 Hear now this, O k foolish people, and without 
t understanding ; which have ' eyes, and see not ; 
which have ears and hear not : 

22 m Fear ye not me ? saith the Lord : will ye not 
tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand 
for the n bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that 
it cannot pass it; and though the waves thereof toss 
themselves, yet can they not prevail ; though they 
roar, yet can they not pass over it ? 

23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious 
heart ; they are revolted and gone. 

24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear 
the Lord our God that giveth ° rain, both the " former 
and the latter, in his q season : he reserveth unto us 
the r appointed weeks of the harvest.

25 8 Your iniquities have turned away these things, 
arid your sins have withholden good things from you. 

26 For among my people are found wicked men : 
they lay wait as he that setteth snares : they set a 
trap, they l catch men. 

27 Asa" cage is full of birds, so are their x houses 
full of deceit : therefore they are become great, and 
waxen rich. 

28 They are y waxen fat, they shine ; yea, they 
z overpass the deeds of the wicked : they judge not 
the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they a pros- 
per ; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 

29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the 
Lord : shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation 
as this ? 

30 A b wonderful and horrible thing is committed 
in the land ; 

31 The c prophets prophesy d falsely, and the priests 
by their means ; and my people e love to 

and what will ye do in the end thereof? 
CHAP. VI. 

Tlie enemies sent against Judah encourage themselves. 
YE children of a Benjamin, gather yourselves 
to b flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow 
the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up c a sign of fire in 
Beth-haccerem : for evil appeareth out of the ,J north, 
and great destruction. 

2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely 
and delicate woman. 

3 The e shepherds with their flocks shall come unto 
her : they shall pitch their tents against her round 
about ; they shall feed every one in his place. 

4 Prepare ye war against her ; arise, and let us go 
up f at noon. Wo unto us ! for the day goeth away, 
for the shadows of the evening are stretched out. 

5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy 
her g palaces. 

6 For thus hath the Lord of hosts said, h Hew ye 
down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem : this 
is the city to be visited ; she is i wholly oppression in 
the midst ©f her. 

7 As k a fountain casteth out her waters, so she 
casteth out her wickedness : ' violence and spoil is 
heard in her ; before me continually is grief and 
wounds. 

8 Be thou t instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul 
depart from thee ; lest I make thee desolate, a land 
not inhabited. 

9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall tho- 
roughly m glean the remnant of Israel as a vine : turn 
back thy hand as a grape-gatherer into the baskets. 

10 To whom shall I speak and give warning, that 
they may hear ? Behold, their n ear is uncircumcised, 
and they cannot hearken : behold, the word of the Lord 
is unto them a reproach ; they have ° no delight, in it. 

1 1 Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord ; I 
am p weary with holding in : I will q pour it out upon 
the r children abroad, and upon the assembly of young 
men together 5 for even the husband with the wife shall 
be taken, the aged with him that is full of days. 

12 And their s houses shall be turned unto others, 
with their fields and wives together : for I will stretch 
out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith 
the Lord. 

13 For from the least of them even unto the great- 
est of them, every one is given l to covetousness ; and 
from the prophet even unto the priest, every one deal- 
eth falsely* 



14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter 
of my people u slightly, saying, x Peace, peace ; when 
there is no peace. 

15 Were they ashamed when they had committed 
abomination ? nay, they were y not at all ashamed, 
neither could they blush; therefore they shall fall 
among them that fall : at the time that I visit them 
they shall be cast down, saith the Lord. 

16 Thus saith the Lord, z Stand ye in the ways, 
and see, and ask for the a old paths, where is the good 
way, and walk therein, and ye shall find b rest for your 
souls. But they said, c We will not walk therein. 

1 7 Also I set a watchmen over you, saying, Heark- 
en to the e sound of the trumpet. But they said, We 
will not hearken. 

1 8 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O con- 
gregation, what is among them. 

19 f Hear, O earth ; behold, I will bring evil upon 
this people, even the E fruit of their thoughts, because 
they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my 
law, but rejected it. 

20 h To what purpose cometh there to me incense 
from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country ? 
your ' burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor your 
sacrifices sweet unto me. 

21 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
lay k stumbling-blocks before this people, and the 
1 fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them ; 
the neighbour and his friend shall perish. 

22 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people cometh 
from the north country, and a great nation shall be 
raised from the sides of the earth. 

23 They shall lay hold on bow and m spear ; they 
are " cruel, and have no mercy : their voice roareth 
like the sea ; and they ride upon horses, set in array 
as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion. 

24 We have heard the fame thereof; our hands 
wax feeble : anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain 
as of a ° woman in travail. 

25 p Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the 
way ; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every 
side. 

26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sack- 
cloth, and wallow thyself in ashes ; make thee mourn- 
ing as for an q only son, most bitter lamentation : for 
the spoiler r shall suddenly come upon us. 

27 I have set thee for a s tower and a fortress among 
my people, that thou mayest l know and try their way. 

28 They are all u grievous revolters, walking with 
x slanders : they are y brass and iron ; they are all 
z corrupters. 

29 The a bellows are burnt, the lead is consumed 
of the fire ; the founder melteth in vain ; for the 
wicked are b not plucked away. 

30 c Reprobate silver shall men call them, because 
the Lord hath rejected them.

4 Trust you not in d lying words, saying, The 
e temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The 
temple of the Lord, are f these. 

5 For if ye g thoroughly amend your ways and your 
doings ; if you thoroughly execute judgment between 
a man and his neighbour ; 

6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and 
the widow, and shed not h innocent blood in this place, 
neither walk after other gods to your hurt : 

7 Then will I cause you to dwell in ' this place, in 
the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. 

8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that k cannot 
profit. 

9 Will ye ' steal, murder, and commit adultery, 
and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and 
walk after m other gods whom ye n know not ; 

10 .And come and stand before me in this house, 
o Ezek.'23, which is called by my name, and say, We are ° de- 
livered to do all these abominations I 

1 1 Is this house, which is p called by my name, 
become a q den of robbers in your eyes ? Behold, even 
I have seen it, saith the Lord. 

1 2 But go ye now unto my place, which was in 
Shiloh, where I set my r name s at the first, and l sec 
what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. 

1 3 And now, because ye have done all these works, 
saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, u rising up early 
and speaking, but ye heard not ; and x I called you, 

Pr. 1, 24. but ye answered not ; 

14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is 
called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the 
place which 1 gave to you and to your fathers, as J 
have done to y Shiloh. 

1 5 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have 
cast out all your z brethren, even the whole seed of 
Ephraim. 

1 6 Therefore a pray not thou for this people, neither 
lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make interces- 

, I. sion to me : for I will not b hear thee. 

1 7 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of 
Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem ? 

, iy. 1 8 The c children gather wood, and the fathers kin- 
dle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to 
make cakes to (he t queen of heaven, and to d pour 
out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may 
provoke me to anger. 

1 9 Do they e provoke me to anger ? saith the Lord : 
do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of 
their own faces ? 

20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, 
mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this 

fZeph. 2,3. place, f upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees 
of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground ; and it 
g Mai. 4, i. shall E burn, and shall not be quenehed. 

21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; 
hHos.s, is. h Put your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and 

eat flesh. 

22 For I ' spake not unto your fathers, nor com- 
manded them m the day that J brought them out of 
the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sa- 
crifices : 

23 But k this thing commanded I them, saying, 
1 Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall 
be my people ; and walk ye in m all the ways that I 

mPs.119,6. have commanded you, that it may be well iinto you. 

ii Deut. 29, 24 But they n hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, 

12 but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of 

their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

whom they have '' worshipped : they shall not be ga-

and their fields to them that shall inherit them : for 
every one, from the least even unto the greatest, is 
given 8 to covetousness ; from the prophet even unto 
the priest, every one dealeth falsely. 

1 1 For they have * healed the hurt of the daughter 
of my people slightly, saying, u Peace, peace ; when 
there is no peace. 

1 2 Were they ashamed when they had committed 
abomination ? nay, they were not at all ashamed, 
neither could they x blush : therefore shall they fall 
among them that fall : in the time of their visitation 
they shall be cast down, saith the Lord. 

13 I will surely consume them, saith the Lord: 
there shall be y no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the 
fig-tree, and the leaf shall fade ; and the things that 
1 have given them shall pass away from them. 

14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and 
let us enter into the defnnced cities, and let us be 
z silent there ; for the Lord our God hath put us to 
silence, and given us a waters of gall to drink, because 
we have sinned against the Lord. 

15 We looked for b peace, but no good came; and 
for a time of health, and behold trouble ! 

16 The snorting of his horses was heard from 
c Dan ; the whole land trembled at the sound of the 
d neighing of his strong ones ; for they are come, and 
have devoured the land, and all that is in it ; the city, 
and those that dwell therein. 

1 7 For, behold, I will send serpents, e cockatrices, 
among you, which will not be f charmed, and they 
shall bite you, saith the Lord. 

1 8 When I would g comfort myself against sorrow, 
my heart is faint h in me. 

19 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of 
my people, because of them that dwell in a far coun- 
try. Is not the Lord in Zion ? ' is not her king in her 1 
why have they k provoked me to anger with their 
graven images, and with ' strange vanities ? 

20 The m harvest is past, the summer is ended, and 
we are not saved. 

21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am 
I hurt ; I am n black ; astonishment hath taken hold 
on me. 

22 Is there ° no balm in Gilead 1 is there no phy- 
sician there ? why then is not the health of the daughter 
of my people p recovered ? 

CHAP. IX. 

Jeremiah lamenteth the Jews for their manifold sins. 

OH that my head were waters, and mine eyes a 
fountain of tears, that I might a weep day and 
night for the b slain of the daughter of my people ! 

2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place 
of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people, and 
go from them ! for they be all c adulterers, an d assem- 
bly of treacherous men. 

3 And they e bend their tongue like their bow for 
lies} but they are not valiant for the truth upon the 



earth : for they proceed f from evil to evil, and they 
g know not me, saith the Lord. 

4 h Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and 
trust ye not in any brother : for every brother will 
utterly ' supplant, and every neighbour will walk with 
k slanders. 

5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, 
and will not speak the truth : they have ' taught their 
tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit 
iniquity. 

6 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit ; through 
m deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, 
I will n melt them, and try them ; for ° how shall I do 
for the daughter of my people ? 

8 Their p tongue is as an arrow shot out ; it speak- 
eth deceit : one speaketh q peaceably to his neighbour 
with his mouth, but in hean ■■* ayeth his wait. 

9 Shall I not 'visit then) fo< nese things? saith the 
Lord : shall not my soul be a : unged on such a nation 
as this ? 

10 For the s mountains will I take up a weeping 
and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness 
a lamentation, because they are burnt up, so that none 
can pass through them ; neither can men hear the voice 
of the cattle : both * the fowl of the heavens and the 
beast are fled ; they are gone. 

1 1 And I will make Jerusalem u heaps, and x a den 
of dragons ; and I will make the cities of Judah deso- 
late, without an inhabitant. 

12 y Who is the wise man, that may understand 
this ; and who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord 
hath spoken, that he may z declare it, for what the 
land perisheth and is burnt up like a wilderness, that 
none passeth through ? 

1 3 And the Lord saith, a Because they have for- 
saken my law which I set before them, and have not 
obeyed my voice, neither walked therein ; 

1 4 But have walked after the b imagination of their 
own heart, and after Baalim, which their c fathers 
taught them : 

1 5 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Israel ; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, 
with d wormwood, and give them water of gall to 
drink. 

1 6 I will e scatter them also among the heathen, 
whom neither they nor their fathers have known : and 
I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed 
them. 

1 7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and 
call for the f mourning women, that they may come ; 
and send for cunning women, that they may come : 

1 8 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing 
for us, that our s eyes may run down with tears, and 
our eyelids gush out with waters. 

19 For h a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, 
How are we spoiled ! we are greatly confounded, be- 
cause we have ' forsaken the land, because our dwell- 
ings have cast us out. 

20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye k women, 
and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and 
1 teach your daughters wailing, and every one her 
neighbour lamentation : 

21 For death is come up into our m windows, and is 
entered into our n palaces, to cut off the ° children 
from without, and the young men from the streets. 

22 Speak, Thus saith the Lord, Even the carcases 
of men shall fall p as dung upon the open field, and

* ?. I 8 - saith the Lord. 

25 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I 
u Rom. 2, 8. will punish all them which are u circumcised with the 
Ia uncircumcised ; 

26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children 
of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost 
corners, that dwell in the wilderness : for all these 

x Ezek. 44, nations are x uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel 
are uncircumcised in the heart. 
CHAP. X. 

The unequal comparison of God and idols. 
EAR ye the word which a the Lord speaketh 
unto you, O house of Israel : 

2 Thus saith the Lord, b Learn not the way of the 
heathen, and be not dismayed at the c signs of heaven ; 
for die heathen are dismayed at them. 

3 For the customs of the people are vain : for one 
6 cutteth a tree out of the forest (the work of the hands 
of the workman) with the axe : 

4 They e deck it with silver and with gold ; they 
fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 

5 They are upright as the palm-tree, but speak not ; 
they must f needs be borne, because they cannot go. 
Be not afraid of them ; for they cannot do evil, neither 
also is it in them to do good. 

6 Forasmuch as there is g none like unto thee, O 
Lord ; thou art great, and thy name is h great in might. 

7 Who would not ' fear thee, k O King of nations ? 
for to thee l doth it appertain : forasmuch as among 
all the wise men of the nations, and in all their king- 
doms, there is none like unto thee. 

3 But they are altogether m brutish and foolish ; the 
stock is n a doctrine of vanities. 

9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, 
and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and 
of the hands of the founder : blue and purple is their 
clothing ; they are all the work of cunning men. 

1 But the Lord is the ° true God, he is the p living 
God, and an q everlasting King ; at his wrath the 
earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able 
to abide his indignation. 

1 1 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that 
have not made the heavens and the earth, even they 
shall r perish from the earth, and from under these 
heavens. 

1 2 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath 
8 established the world by his wisdom, and hath 
stretched out * the heavens by his discretion. 

13 When he " uttereth his voice, there is a multi- 
tude of x waters in the heavens, and he causeth the 
vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth ; he 
inaketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the 
wind out of his treasures. 

14 Everyman is y brutish in Ms knowledge; every 
founder is confounded by the graven image : for his 
molten image is falsehood, and there is no z breath in 
them. 

15 They are vanity, and the work of errors : in the 
time of their visitation they shall perish.

1 9 Wo is me for my hurt ! my wound is grievous : 
but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must b bear it. 

20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are 
broken : my children are gone forth of me, and they 
are not ; there is none to stretch forth my tent any

not sought the Lord : therefore they shall k not pros-

2 a Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak

God of Israel, b Cursed be the man that t obeyeth not

4 Which I commanded c your fathers in the day 
that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,

so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God ; 

5 That I may e perform the oath which I have sworn 
unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with 
milk and lioney, as it is this day. Then answered I, 
and said, f So be it, O Lord. 

6 Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all these 
words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Je- 
rusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, 
and E do them. 

7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers, in the 
day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt,

Obey my voice.

Israel and the house of Judah have broken my cove- 
nant, which I made with their fathers. 

1 1 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
bring n evil upon them, which they shall not be able 
to ° escape ; and though they shall cry unto me, I will 
p not hearken unto them. 

1 2 Then shall the cities of Judah, and inhabitants 
of Jerusalem, q go and cry unto the gods unto whom 
they offer incense : but they shall not save them at all 
in the time of their trouble. 

1 3 For according to the r number of thy cities were 
thy gods, O Judah ; and according to the number of 
the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that 
s shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal. 

14 Therefore * pray not thou for this people, neither 
lift up a cry or prayer for them : for I will not hear 
them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble. 

1 5 What hath my beloved u to do in my house, 
seeing she hath wrought lewdness x with many, and 
the y holy flesh is passed from thee ? when thou doest 
evil, then thou z rejoicest. 

1 6 The Lord called thy name, a A green olive-tree, 
fair, and of goodly fruit ; with the noise of a great tumult 
he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are 
broken. 

1 7 For the Lord of hosts that b planted thee hath 
pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house 
of Israel, and of the house of Judah, which they have 
done against themselves, to provoke me to anger, in 
offering incense unto Baal. 

18 And the Lord hath given me c knowledge of it, 
and I know it : then thou shewedst me their doings. 

1 9 But 1 was like d a lamb, or an ox, that is brought 
to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had e devised 
devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree 
with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the 
land of the living, that his name may be f no more 
remembered. 

20 But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, 
that g triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy 
vengeance on them ; for unto thee have I revealed 
h my cause. 

21 Therefore thus saith the Lord of the men of 
' Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, k Prophesy not 
in the name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hand : 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, 
I will punish them ; the young men shall die by the 
sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by 
famine ; 

23 And there shall be l no remnant of them, for I 
will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the 
year of m their visitation. 

CHAP. XII. 

Jeremiah complainelh of the prosperity of the wicked. 
' IGHTEOUS a art thou, O Lord, when I plead 
with thee ; yet let me talk wiih thee of thy judg- 
ments : Wherefore doth the way of the wicked b pros- 
per ? wherefore are all they happy that deal very 
treacherously ? 

2 Thou hast planted them ; yea, they have taken 
root : they grow ; yea, they bring forth fruit : thou art 
c near in their mouth, and far from their reins. 

3 But thou, O Lord, d knowest me ; thou hast seen 
me, and tried my heart e toward thee ; pull them out 
like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the 
f day of slaughter. 

4 How long shall the g land mourn, and the herbs 
of every field wither, for the h wickedness of them that 



dwell therein ? the beasts are consumed, and the birds ; 
because they said, He shall ' not see our last end. 

5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have 
wearied thee, then how canst thou k contend with 
horses ? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou 
trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in 
the ! swelling of Jordan ? 

6 For even thy m brethren, and the house of thy 
father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee ; 
yea, they have " called a multitude after thee : believe 
them not, though they speak ° fair words unto thee. 

7 I have forsaken p my house, I have left my heri- 
tage ; I have given the dearly-beloved of my soul into 
the hand of her enemies. 

8 My heritage is unto me as q a lion in the forest ; 
it crieth out against me : therefore have I hated it. 

9 My heritage is unto me as T a speckled bird ; the 
birds round about are against her ; come ye, assemble 
all the beasts of the field, s come to devour. 

10 Many * pastors have destroyed my vineyard, 
they have trodden my u portion under foot, they have 
made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. 

1 1 x They have made it desolate, and being desolate 
it mourneth unto me ; the whole land is made desolate, 
because no man y layeth it to heart. 

12 The z spoilers are come upon all high places 
through the wilderness : for the sword of the Lord 
shall devour from the one end of the land even to the 
other end of the land : a no flesh shall have peace. 

1 3 They have b sown wheat, but shall reap thorns ; 
they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit ; 
and they shall be c ashamed of your revenues, because 
of the fierce anger of the Lord. 

1 4 Thus saith the Lord against all mine d evil 
neighbours, that e touch the inheritance which I have 
caused my people Israel to inherit ; Behold, I will 
f pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house 
of Judah from among them. 

15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have 
plucked them out I will return, and have compassion 
on them, and will s bring them again, every man to his 
heritage, and every man to his land. 

16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently 
learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, 
The Lord liveth ; (as they h taught my people to swear 
by Baal ;) then shall they ' be built in the midst of my 
people. 

1 7 But if they will k not obey, I will utterly pluck 
up and destroy that nation, saith the Lord. 

CHAP. XIII. 

By the type of a linen girdle, God prefigureth his peopWs 
destruction. 
HUS saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee 
a a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and 
b put it not in water. 

2 So 1 got a girdle, c according to the word of thy 
Lord, and put it on my loins. 

3 And the word of the Lord came unto me the 
second time, saying, 

4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon 
thy loins, and arise, go to d Euphrates, and hide it 
there in a hole of the rock. 

5 e So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the Lord 
commanded me. 

6 And it came to pass after many days, that the 
Lord said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take

7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took i 
the girdle from the place where I had hid it ; and, 
"behold, the girdle was marred, it was f profitable for ' 
nothing. 

8 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

9 Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I 
mar the g pride of Judah, and the great pride of Je- 
rusalem. 

1 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, 
which walk in the imagination of their heart, and 
11 walk after other gods to serve them, and to worship 
them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for 
nothing. 

1 1 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, 
so have I caused to ' cleave unto me the whole house 
of Israel, and the whole house of Judah, saith the 
Lord ; that they might be unto me for k a people, and 
for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory : but 
they would not hear. 

1 2 Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word, 
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Every ' bottle 
shall be filled with m wine ; and they shall say unto 
thee, Do we not certainly D know that every bottle 
shall be filled with wine ? 

1 3 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this 
land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and 
the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem, ° with drunkenness. 

1 4 And I will dash them p one against another, even 
the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord ; I 
will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, q but destroy 
them. 

1 5 Hear ye, and give ear ; be not r proud : for the 
Lord hath spoken. 

16 5 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he 
cause l darkness, and before your feet stumble upon 
the dark mountains, and while ye look for light, he 
turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross 
darkness. 

17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall u weep 
in secret places for your pride ; and mine eyes shall 
weep sore, and run down with tears, because the 
Lord's flock is carried away captive. 

1 8 * Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble 
yourselves, sit down ; for your principalities shall 
come clown, even the y crown of your glory. 

19 The z cities of the south shall be shut up, and 
none shall open them ; Judah shall be carried away 
captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away 
captive. 

20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come 
from the north ; where is the flock that was a given 
thee, thy beautiful flock ? 

21 What wilt thou say when he shall b punish thee ? 
(for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief 
over thee ;) shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman 
in travail ? 

22 And if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore come 
these things upon me ? For the greatness of thine 
iniquity are thy ' skirts discovered, and thy heels made 
bare. 

23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard 
his spots ? then may ye also do good, that are accus- 
tomed to do evil. 

24 Therefore will I d scatter them as the stubble 
that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.

and f trusted in falsehood. 

26 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thv 
face, that thy shame may appear. 

27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy g neighings, 
the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abomina- 
tions on the hills in the fields. Wo unto thee, O Je-

A grievous famine causeih Jeremiah to pray. 

THE word of the Lord that came to * Jeremiah 
concerning the dearth. 

2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish ; 
they are black unto the ground ; and the cry of Jeru- 
salem is gone up. 

3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the 
waters : they came to the b pits, and found no water ; 
they returned with the vessels empty ; they were 
ashamed and confounded, and c covered their heads. 

4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was d no 
rain in the earth, the e plowmen were ashamed, they 
covered their heads. 

5 Yea, the hind also f calved in the field, and for- 
sook it, because there was no grass. 

6 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, 
they g snuffed up the wind like dragons ; their h eyes 
did fail, because there was no grass. 

7 ' O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, 
do thou it for thy k name's sake : for our backslidings 
are many ; we have sinned against thee. 

8 O the 'Hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in 1 ch. 17, 13. 
time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger 

in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside 
to tarry for m a night ? 

9 Why shouldest thou be as a man n astonished, as 
a mighty man that ° cannot save ? yet thou, O Lord, 
art in the p midst of us, and we are called by thy pZech.2,5. 
name ; leave us not. 

10 Thus saith the Lord unto this people, Thus 

have they 1 loved to wander, they have not refrained q ch - 2 - 23 - 
their feet ; therefore the Lord doth not accept them : 
he will now r remember their iniquity, and visit their

1 1 Then said the Lord unto me, 8 Pray not for this s ch. u, u. 
people for their good. 

12 When they fast, I will ' not hear their cry ; and 
when they offer burnt-offering and an oblation, I will 
not accept them ; but I will consume them by the 
sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. 

13 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, u the pro- 
phets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, nei- 
ther shall ye have famine ; but I will give you assured 
peace in this place. 

14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets 
prophesy x lies in my name ; y I sent them not, nei- 
ther have I commanded them, neither spake unto 
them : they prophesy unto you a false vision and divi- 
nation, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their 
heart. 

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the 
prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them 
not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in 
this land ; * by sword and famine shall those prophets 
be consumed.

The utter rejection and manifold judgments of the Jews.

and let them go forth. 

2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee,

Thus saith the Lord, Such as are b for death, to 
death ; and such as are for the sword, to the sword ; 
and such as are for the famine, to the famine ; and 
such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.

the Lord ; the sword to slay, and the dogs d to tear, 
and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the

6 Thou hast h forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou

The prophet foresheweth the utter ruin of the Jews. 

THE word of the Lord came also unto me, saying, 
2 Thou shalt a not take thee a wife, neither 
shalt thou have sons b nor daughters in this place. 

3 For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons, 
and concerning the daughters that are born in this 
place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, 
and concerning their fathers that begat them in this 
land ; 

4 They shall die of grievous deaths : they shall not 
be lamented, neither shall they be buried ; but they 
shall be as dung upon the face of the earth : and they 
shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine ; and 
their c carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, 
and for the beasts of the earth. 

5 For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house 
of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them : 
for I have taken away my peace from this people, 
saith the Lord, even loving-kindness and mercies. 

6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land : 
they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for J"^ t ' hem<

7 Blessed is the man that m trusteth in the Lord, ™ ! Chron - 
and whose hope the Lord is : Prov. 16,20. 

8 For he shall be as n a tree planted by the waters, Is a- 30, is. 
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and 
shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be 
green ; and shall not be careful in the year of ° drought, 
neither shall p cease from yielding fruit. 

9 The heart is deceitful q above all things, and 
r desperately wicked : who s can know it ? 

1 I the Lord * search the heart, / try the reins, 
even to give every man according to his ways, and 
according to the fruit of his doings. 

11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth 
them not ; so he u that getteth riches, and not by right, u 1 Kings 
shall x leave them in the midst of his days, and at his ^jobis 22.

13 O Lord, the Hope of Israel, all that z forsake zPs. 73,27. 
thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me 
shall be a written in the earth, because they have for- 
saken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.

16 As for me, I have d not hastened from being a a ch. 1,4.6! 
pastor to follow thee; neither have e I desired the ech. 9, 1.

1 7 Be not a terror unto me : thou art my hope in

24. And it shall come to pass, if ye r diligently 
hearken unto me, saith the Lord, to bring in no bur- 
den through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, 
but hallow the sabbath-day, to do no work therein ; 

25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city 
s kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David,

ces, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
lem ; and this city shall remain for ever. 

26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, 
and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the 
1 land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the 
mountains, and from the " south, bringing burnt-offer- 
ings, and sacrifices, and meat-offerings, and incense, 
and t bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of 
the Lord. 

27 But if you will not hearken unto me to hallow 
the sabbath-day, and not to bear a burden, even en- 
tering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath- 
day ; then will I x kindle a fire in the gates thereof, 
and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it 
shall not be quenched. 

CHAP. XVITI. 

Under the type of a potter is shewed God^s absolute power. 

THE word which came to Jeremiah from the 
Lord, saying, 

2 a Arise, and go down to b the potter's house, and 
c there will I cause thee to hear my words. 

3 Then d I went down to the potter's house, and, 
behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 

4 And the vessel that e he made of clay was 
marred in the hand of the potter ; so he made it again 
another vessel, f as seemed good to the potter to 
make it. 

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, 
saying, 

6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you E as this 
potter 1 saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in 
the potter's hand, h so are ye in my hand, O house of 
Israel. 

7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, 
and concerning a kingdom, ' to pluck up, and to pull 
down, and to destroy it : 

8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, 
k turn from their evil, I will ' repent of the evil that I 
thought to do unto them. 

9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a 
nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build, and to 
plant it : 

1 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my 
voice, then I will repent of the m good wherewith J 
said 1 would benefit them. 

1 1 Now, therefore, go to, speak to the men of Ju- 
dah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, n I frame evil against 
you, and devise a device against you : ° return ye now 
every one from his evil way, and make your ways 
and your doings good. 

12 And they said, There is p no hope; but q we 
will walk after our own devices, and we will every 
one do the imagination of his evil heart. 

1 3 Therefore thus saith the Lord, r Ask ye now 
among the heathen, who hath heard such things ? the 
3 virgin of .Israel hath done a very * horrible thing. 

1 4 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanun which 
cometh from the rock of the field 1 or shall the cold 



flowing waters that come from another place be 
forsaken ? 

15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they 
have burnt incense to vanity, and they have u caused 
them to stumble in their ways from the x ancient 
paths, to walk in paths in a way not cast up ; 

16 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual 
y hissing: every one that passeth thereby shall be 
astonished, and wag his head. 

1 7 I will '■ scatter them as with an a east wind be- 
fore the enemy : I will shew them the back, and not 
the face, in the day of their calamity. 

1 8 b Then said they, Come, and let us c ^devise 
devices against Jeremiah ; for the d law shall not 
perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor 
the word from the prophet : come, and let us smite 
him with the e tongue, and let us not give heed to any 
of his words. 

1 9 Give heed to me, O Lord, and hearken to the 
voice of them that contend with me. 

20 Shall f evil be recompensed for good ? for they 
have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I 
stood before thee to speak good for them, and g to 
turn away thy wrath from them. 

21 Therefore h deliver up their children to the 
famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the 
sword ; and let their wives be bereaved of their chil 
dren, and be widows ; and let their men be put to 
death ; let their young men be slain by the sword in 
battle. 

22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou 
shalt bring ' a troop suddenly upon them ; for they 
have k digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my 
feet. 

23 Yet, Lord, thou knowest all their counsel 
against me to slay me : \ forgive not their iniquity, 
neither m blot out their sin from thy sight ; but let 
them be overthrown before thee : deal thus with them 
in the time of thine anger. 

CHAP. XIX. 

The desolation of the Jews for their sins foretold. 

THUS saith the Lord, Go, and get a potter's 
earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the 
people, and of the a ancients of the priests, 

2 And go forth unto the b valley of the son of Hin- 
nom, which is by the entry of the ? east gate, and 
proclaim there the words that d I shall tell thee ; 

3 And say, Hear ye the word of the Lord, e O 
kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus 
saith the Lord of f hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, 
I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever 
heareth, his ears shall g tingle. 

4 Because they have h forsaken me, and have 
' estranged this place, and have burnt incense in it 
unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers 
have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled 
this place with the k blood of innocents ; 

5 They have built also the high places of Baal, 
to 1 burn their sons with fire for burnt-offerings unto 
Baal, which I m commanded not, nor spake it, neither 
came it into my mind : 

6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, 
that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor, 
The n valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of 
slaughter. 

7 And I will make void the ° counsel of Judah and 
Jerusalem in this place ; and I will cause them p to 
fall bv the sword before their enemies, and by the

hands of them that seek their lives ; and their q car- 
cases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the 
heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. 

8 And J will make this city r desolate, and a hissing : 
every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and 
hiss, because of all the plagues thereof. 

9 And J will cause them s to eat the flesh of their 
sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall 
eat eveiy one the flesh of his l friend, in the siege and 
straitness wherewith their enemies, and they that seek 
their lives, shall straiten them. 

10 Then shalt thou break u the bottle in the sight 
of the men that go with thee, 

1 1 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
of hosts, x Even so will I break this people, and this 
city, as one. breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be 
made whole again ; and they shall y bury them in 
Tophet, till there be no place else to bury. 

12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the Lord, 
and to the inhabitants thereof, and even z make their 
city as Tophet : 

13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of 
the kings of Judah, shall be defiled, as the place of 
Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose a roofs 
they have burnt incense unto all the host of heaven, 
and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods. 

1 4 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the 
Lord had sent him to prophesy ; and he stood in 
the b court of the Lord's house, and said to all the 
people, 

15 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
Behold, I will bring upon this city, and upon all c her 
towns, all the evil that I have pronounced against it. ; 
because they have d hardened their necks, that they 
might e not hear my words. 

CHAP. XX. 

Pashur, smiting Jeremiah, receiveth a new name, and a fear- 
ful doom. 
NOW a Pashur, the son of b Immer the priest, 
who was also the c chief governor in the house 
of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these 
things. 

2 Then Pashur d smote Jeremiah the prophet, and 
put him in e the stocks that were in the high gate of 
Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord. 

3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur 
brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said 
Jeremiah unto him, The Lord hath not called thy 
name Pashur, but || Magor-missabib. 

4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make 
thee f a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends ; and 
fhey shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and 
g thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah 
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall 
cany them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them 
with the sword. 

5 Moreover, I will deliver all the b strength of this 
city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious 
things thereof, and all the ' treasures of the kings of 
Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which 
shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to 
Babylon. 

6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house, 
shall go into captivity : and thou shalt come to Babylon, 
and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, 
thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied 
k lies. 

7 O Lord, thou hast ' deceived me, and I was m de- 



ceived ; thou art " stronger than I, and hast prevailed : 
I am in ° derision daily, every one mocketh me. 

8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence 
and spoil ; because the word of the Lord was made 
a reproach unto me, and a derision daily. 

9 Then I p said, I will not make mention of him, 
nor speak any more in his name : but his word was in 
my heart as *» a burning fire shut up in my bones, and 
I was r weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. 

10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every 
side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All 
my familiars s watched for my halting, saying, Perad- 
venture he will be enticed, and we shall prevail 
against him, and we shall take our revenge on him. 

1 1 But the Lord is l with me as a mighty terrible 
one ; therefore my persecutors shall u stumble, and they 
shall not prevail ; they shall be greatly ashamed ; for 
they shall not prosper : their everlasting confusion 
shall never be forgotten. 

12 But, O Lord of hosts, that x triest the righteous, 
and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy 
vengeance on them : y for unto thee have I z opened 
my cause. 

1 3 Sing unto the Lord, a praise ye the Lord ; for 
he hath b delivered the soul of the poor from the hand 
of evil-doers. 

1 4 c Cursed be the day wherein I was born : let not 
the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. 

15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my 
father, saying, d A man-child is born unto thee ; making 
him very glad. 

16 And let that man be as the cities which the 
Lord e overthrew, and repented not ; and let him hear 
the cry in the f morning, and the shouting at noon-tide ; 

1 7 Because he slew me not g from the womb ; or 
that my mother might have been my grave, and her 
womb to be always great with me. 

1 8 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb h to 
see labour and sorrow, that my days should be con- 
sumed with shame ? 

CHAP. XXI. 

1 Zedekiah sendeth to inquire the event of Nebuchadrezzar'' t 
war. 3 A hard siege foretold. 

THE word which came unto Jeremiah from the 
Lord, when king Zedekiah a sent unto him 
Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son 
of Maaseiah the priest, saying, 

2 || Inquire, I pray thee, of the Lord for us ; for 
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon "maketh war against 
us ; if so be that the Lord will deal with us accord- 
ing to all his c wondrous works, that he may go up 
u from us. 

3 Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say 
to Zedekiah, 

4 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will 
turn back the weapons of war that are c in your hands, 
wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and 
against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the 
walls, and r I will assemble them into the midst of 
this city. 

5 And I myself will fight g against you with an out- 
stretched hand, and with a strong arm, even in b anger, 
and in fury, and in great wrath. 

6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, ' both 
man and beast : they shall die of a great pestilence. 

7 And afterward, saith the Lord, I will deliver 
Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the 
people, and such as are left in this city from the

9 He that n abideth in this city shall die by the 
sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence : but 
he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that 
besiege you, ne shall live, and his life shall be unto 
him ° for a prey. 

1 For I have p set my face against this city, for 
evil, and not for good, saith the Lord ; it shall be 
given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he 
shall i burn it with fire. 

1 1 And touching the house of the king of Judah, 
say, Hear ye the word of the Lord ; 

12 O house of David, thus saith the Lord, r Exe- 
cute judgment in the s morning, and deliver him that 
is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my 
fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench 
it, because of the evil of your doings. 

1 3 Behold, I am * against thee, O inhabitant of the 
valley, and rock of the plain, saith the Lord ; which 
say, "Who shall come down against us ? or who shall 
enter into our habitation ? 

14 But I will punish you according x to the fruit of 
your doings, saith the Lord : and I will kindle a fire 
in the forest thereof, and it shall y devour all things 
round about it 

CHAP. XXII. 

Jeremiah exhorteth to repentance with promises and threats. 

THUS saith the Lord, Go down to the a house of 
the king of Judah, and speak there this word, 

2 And say, b Hear the word of the Lord, O king of 
Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and 
thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates ; 

3 Thus saith the Lord, c Execute ye judgment and 
righteousness, and d deliver the spoiled out of the hand 
of the oppressor : and do no wrong, do no violence to 
the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither 
shed innocent blood in this place. 

4 For if ye e do this thing indeed, then shall there 
f enter in by the gates of this house kings, sitting upon 
the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, 
he, and his servants, and his people. 

5 But if ye will g not hear these words, I b swear 
by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall be- 
come a desolation. 

6 For thus saith the Lord unto the king's house of 
Judah, Thou art ' Gilead k unto me, and the head of 
Lebanon : yet surely I will make thee ' a wilderness, 
and cities which are not inhabited. 

7 And I will prepare m destroyers against thee, 
every one with his n weapons ; and they shall cut 
down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire. 

8 And many nations shall ° pass by this city, and 
they shall say every man to his neighbour, p Where- 
fore hath the Lord done q thus unto this great city ? 

9 Then they shall answer, r Because they have for- 
saken the covenant of the Lord their God, and wor- 
shipped other gods, and served them. 

10 Weep ye not s for the dead, neither bemoan 
him ; but weep sore for him that * goeth away : for he 
shall return no more, nor see his native country. 



1 1 For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum the 
son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of 
Josiah his father, which u went forth out of this place, 
He shall not return thither any more: 

12 But he shall die in the place whither they have 
led him captive, and shall see this land no more. 

1 3 Wo unto him that buildeth his house by * un- 
righteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth 
his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him 
not for his y work ; 

14 That saith, I will build me a wide house, and 
large chambers, and cutteth him out windows ; and it 
is ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion ! 

1 5 Shalt thou z reign because thou closest thyself 
in cedar ? a Did not thy father b eat and drink, and do 
judgment and justice, and then c it was well with him ? 

16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; 
then it was well with him : d was not this to know me 1 
saith the Lord. 

1 7 But thine eyes and thy heart are not but for thy 
e covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for 
oppression, and for violence to do it. 

1 8 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning f Je- 
hoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, They shall 
g not lament for him, saying, b Ah my brother ! or, Ah 
sister ! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord ! 
or, Ah his glory ! 

1 9 He shall be buried with the ' burial of an ass, 
drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. 

20 k Go up to Lebanon, and cry ; and lift up thy 
voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages : for all 
thy lovers are destroyed. 

21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity ; but thou 
saidst, I will ' not hear : this hath been thy manner 
from thy youth, that thou m obeyedst not my voice. 

22 n The wind shall eat up all thy pastures, and 
thy ° lovers shall go into captivity : surely then shalt 
thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wick- 
edness. 

23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest 
in the cedars, how p gracious shalt thou be when pangs 
come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail ! 

24 As I live, saith the Lord, though q Coniah the 
son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the r signet upon 
my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence ; 

25 And I will s give thee into the hand of them that 
seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face 
thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 

26 And I will * cast thee out, and thy mother that 
bare thee, into another " country, where ye were not 
born ; and there shall ye die. 

27 But to the land whereunto they desire to return, 
thither shall they not return. 

28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol ? is 
he x a vessel wherein is no pleasure ? wherefore are 
they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land 
which they know not ? 

29 O earth, earth, eardi, hear the word of the Lord : 

30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man y child- 
less, a man that shall not prosper in his days : for no 
man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne 
of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

against the pastors that feed my people, Ye have scat- 
tered my flock, and driven them away, and have not 
visited them : behold, I will visit upon you the evil of 
your doings, saith the Lord. 

3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of 
all countries whither I have driven them, and will 
bring them again to their c folds ; and they shall be 
fruitful and increase. 

4 And I will set up d shepherds over them, which 
shall feed them ; and they shall fear no more, nor be. 

eHos.2,18. dismayed, neither shall they e be lacking, saith the 
Lord. 

5 Behold, f the days come, saith the Lord, that 1 
will raise unto David a righteous g Branch, and h a 
King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute 'judg- 
ment and justice in the earth. 

• 6 In his days k Judah shall be saved, and ' Israel 
shall dwell safely ; and this is his name whereby he 
shall be called, THE LORD m OUR RIGHT- 
EOUSNESS. 

7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the 
Lord, that n they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, 
which brought up the children of Israel out of the land 
of Egypt ; 

8 But, The Lord liveth, which brought up, and 
which led, the seed of the house of Israel out of the 
north country, and from all countries whither I had 
driven them ; and they shall ° dwell in their own land. 

9 My heart within me is p broken because of the 
q prophets ; all my r bones shake : I am like a drunken 
man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, be- 
cause of the Lord, and because of the 8 words of his 
holiness. 

10 For the land is full of * adulterers ; fov because 
of u swearing the land mourneth, the pleasant places 
of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, 
and their force is not right. 

1 1 For both prophet and priest are profane ; yea, 
x in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the 
Lord. 

12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as 
y slippery ways in the darkness ; they shall be driven 
on, and fall therein : for I will bring evil upon them, 
even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord. 

1 3 And I have seen folly in the z prophets of Sama- 
ria ; they prophesied in Baal, and a caused my people 
Israel to err. 

14 I have seen also in the b prophets of Jerusalem 
a horrible thing : they commit adultery, and walk in 
c lies : they d strengthen also the hands of evil-doers, 
that none doth return from his wickedness : they are 
all of them unto me e as Sodom, and the inhabitants 
thereof as Gomorrah. 

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts con- 
cerning the prophets, Behold, I will feed them with 
r wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall : 
for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone 
forth into all the land. 

16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, £ Hearken not 
unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto 
you ; they make you h vain : they speak a vision of 
their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the 
Lord. 

17 They say still unto them that despise me, The 
Lord hath said, Ye shall have ' peace ; and they say 
unto every one that walketh after the imagination of 
his own heart, k No evil shall come upon you. 

1 8 For who hath ' stood in the counsel of the Lord, 




t Heb.

11. 



and hath t perceived and heard his word? who hath 
marked his word, and heard it? 

19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth 
in fury, even a m grievous whirlwind: it shall "fall 
grievously upon the head of the wicked. 

20 The anger of the Lord shall ° not return, until m-NaV'i/a 
he have executed, and till he have performed, the niins •";/;■ 
thoughts of his heart : in the latter days ye shall P con- P £z e k. 2, 5 
sider it perfectly. 

21 I have not q sent these prophets, yet they ran: qMat.7,15 
I have not spoken to the.m, yet they prophesied. 

22 But if they had stood r in my counsel, and had r 1 Kings 
3 caused my people to hear my words, then they 
should have turned them from their evil way, and 
from the evil of their doings. 

23 Am I a God l at hand, saith the Lord, and not \?*- i<>3 
a God afar off ? 

24 Can any hide himself u in secret places that I 
shall not see him ? saith the Lord. Do not I x fill 
heaven and earth ? saith the Lord. 

25 I have heard what the prophets said, that pro- 
phesy lies in my name, saying, I have y dreamed, I 
have dreamed. 

26 z How long shall this be in the heart of the pro- z Psai. 4, 
phets that prophesy lies ? yea, they are prophets of the 
a deceit of their own heart ; 

27 Which think b to cause my people to forget my b Acts 13, « 
name by their dreams, which they tell every man to 

his neighbour, c as their fathers have forgotten my cJudg.3, ? 
name for Baal. 8 '

yet I sent them not, nor commanded them : therefore 
they shall ° not profit this people at all, saith the Lord. 

33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a

of the Lord ? thou shalt then say unto them, What 
burden ? I will r even forsake you, saith the Lord.

CHAP. XXIV. 

The restoration of them that were in captivity foretold. 

THE Lord a shewed me, and, behold, two baskets 
of figs were set before the temple of the Lord, 
after that Nebuchadrezzar b king of Babylon had car- 
ried away captive c Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim 
king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the car- 
penters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought 
them to Babylon. 

2 d One basket had very good figs, even like the 
figs that are first ripe ; and the other basket had very 
naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so 
bad. 

3 Then said the Lord unto me, What seest thou, 
Jeremiah ? And I said, Figs ; the good figs, very good ; 
and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are 
so evil. 

4 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

5 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Like 
these good figs, so will I t acknowledge them that are 
carried away captive of Judah ; whom I have sent 
out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans e for 
their good. 

6 For f I will set mine eyes upon them for g good, 
and I will h bring them again to this land : and I will 
build them, and not pull them down ; and I will plant 
them, and not pluck them up. 

7 And ' I will give them a k heart to know me, that 
I am the Lord ; and they shall be my people, and I 
will be their God : for they shall return unto me with 
their \ whole heart. 

8 And as the m evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they 
are so evil ; surely thus saith the Lord, So will I give 
Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the 
residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and 
them that n dwell in the land of Egypt ; 

9 And I will deliver them to ° be removed into all 
the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a re- 
proach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all 
places whither I shall drive them. 

10 And p I will send the sword, the famine, and 
the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed 
from off the land that I gave unto them and to their 
fathers.

his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and 
h dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you 
and to your fathers for ever and ever : 

6 And go not after ' other gods to serve them, and 
to worship them, and k provoke me not to anger with 
the works of your hands ; and I will do you no hurt. 

7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the 
Lord ; that ye might provoke me to anger with the 
works of your hands ' to your own hurt. 

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Because 
ye have not heard my words, 

9 Behold, I will send and take m all the families of 
the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the 
king of Babylon n my servant, and will bring them 
against this land, and ° against the inhabitants thereof, 
and against all these nations round about, and will 
utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, 
and a hissing, and perpetual desolations. 

10 Moreover, I will take from them p the voice of 
mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the 
bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of 
the q millstones, and the light of the candle. 

1 1 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and 
an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the 
king of Babylon r seventy years. 

12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years 
are s accomplished, that 1 will punish the king of 
Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their 
iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will 
make it l perpetual desolations. 

1 3 And I will bring upon that land all my words 
which I have pronounced against it, even all that is 
written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied 
against all the nations. 

14 For u many nations and great kings shall serve 
themselves of them also : and I will x recompense 
them according to their deeds, and according to the 
works of their own hands. 

1 5 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me, 
Take the y wine-cup of this fury at my hand, and 
cause all the nations to whom I send thee, to drink it. 

16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be 
z mad, because of the sword that I will send among 
them. 

1 7 Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and 
a made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord 
had sent me : 

18 To wit, "Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, 
and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make 
them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a 
curse ; c (as it is this day ,) 

1 9 d Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and 
his princes, and all his people ;

one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, 
which are upon the face of the earth : and the king 
of p Sheshach shall drink after them. 

27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them. Thus saith 
the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Drink ye, and 
be drunken, and spue, and fall, and q rise no more, 
because of the sword which I will send among you. 

28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at 
thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Ye shall certainly 
r drink. 

29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which 
is s called by my name, and should ye be utterly 
unpunished ? Ye shall not * be unpunished : for I will 
call for u a sword upon all the inhabitants of the 
earth, saith the Lord of hosts. 

30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these 
words, and say unto them, The Lord shall x roar 
from y on high, and utter his voice from his holy 
habitation ; he shall mightily roar z upon his habitation ; 
he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes. 
against all the inhabitants of the earth. 

31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth: 
for the Lord a hath a controversy with the nations ; 
b he will plead with all flesh : he will give them that 
are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord. 

32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall 
go forth from nation to nation, and c a great whirlwind 
shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 

33 And the d slain of the Lord shall be at that day 
from one end of the earth even unto the other end of 
the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither ga- 
thered, nor buried : they shall be e dung upon the 
ground. 

34 f Howl, ye shepherds, and cry ; and wallow 
yourselves in the ashes, ye 6 principal of the flock : 
for the b days of your slaughter and of your disper- 
sions are accomplished ; and ye shall fall like a 
pleasant vessel. 

35 And the shepherds shall have \ no way to flee, 
nor the principal of the flock to escape. 

36 k A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a 
howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard : 
for the liORD hath spoiled their pasture. 

37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down, 
because of the ' fierce anger of the Lord. 

38 He hath m forsaken his covert, as the lion : for 
their land is desolate, because of the fierceness of the 
oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.

dah, which come to worship in the Lord's house, all

prophets, whom I sent unto you, both f rising up early, 
and sending them, but ye have not hearkened ; 

6 Then will I make g this house like Shiloh, and 
will make this city h a curse to all the nations of the 
earth. 

7 So the ' priests, and the prophets, and all the peo- 
ple, heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house 
of the Lord. 

8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made 
an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded 
him to speak unto all the people, that the priests, and 
the prophets and k all the people, took him, saying, 
Thou shalt surely 'die. 

9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the 66 
Lord, saying, This house shall be m like Shiloh, and ^pV^'sl' 
this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant ? 14. 
And all the people were gathered n against Jeremiah jj^^ 6 }' 
in the house of the Lord. 2. & 13/45' 

10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, 
then the}' came up from the king's house unto the 

house of the Lord, and sat down in the ° entry of och. 36, 10 
the p new gate of the Lord's house. p 2 |i n S 9 

1 1 Then spake the q priests and the prophets unto q Ma.t. 23 : 
the princes, and to all the people, saying, This man is | 9 - „ 
r worthy to die ; for he hath prophesied against this r DeW. h°, 
city, as ye have heard with your ears. 

1 2 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes, and 
to all the people, saying, The Lord s sent me to pro- 
phesy against this house, and against this city, all the 
words that ye have heard. 

1 3 Therefore now * amend your ways and your 
doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God ; 
and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath 
pronounced against you. 

14 As for me, behold, u I am in your hand; do u ch. 38, 5 
with me x as seemeth good and meet unto you : 

15 But know ye for certain, that, if ye put me to 
death, ye shall surely bring y innocent blood upon 
yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabit- 
ants thereof: for of a truth the Lord hath sent me 
unto you, to speak all these words in your ears. 

16 z Then said the a princes and all the people unto 
the priests and to the prophets, This man is not 
worthy to die ; for he hath spoken to us in the name 267 
of the Lord our God. ^ *}< ' 

17 Then rose up certain of the b elders of the land, b p?ai lis 
and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying, 15 - 

18 Micah the c Morasthite prophesied in the days cMicahi,i 
of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the peo- 
ple of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
d Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem 
shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house 
as the high places of a forest. 

19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah 
put him at all to death ? did he not e fear the Lord, 
and besought the Lord, and the Lord r repented him 
of the evil which he had pronounced against them ? 
Thus might we procure g great evil against our souls. 

20 And there was ''also a man that prophesied in f£ ]06> ]5 
the name of the Lord, Urijah the son of Shemaiah Luke 3,20 
of ' Khjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city, ''.josh.^s,' 
and against this land, according to all the words of 14. 
Jeremiah : 

21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his 
mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the 
king sought to put him to death ; but when Urijah 
heard it, he was afraid, and u fled, and went into 
Egypt ;

Jeremiah? s prophecy against Edom, tyc. 

22 And Jehoiakim tlie king ' sent men into Egypt ; 
namely, Ekiathan the son of Achbor, and certain men 
with him into Egypt : 

23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt ; 
and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king, who m slew 
him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the 
graves of the common people. 

24 Nevertheless, the hand " of Ahikam the son of 
Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give 
him into the hand of the people to put him to death. 

CHAP. XXVII. 
The svbdving of the neighbouring kings unto Nebuchadnezzar. 
~"N the beginning of the reign a of Jehoiakim the 
son of Josiah king of Judah, came this word unto 
Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord to me, Make thee b bonds 
and yokes, and put them upon thy neck, 

3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the 
king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and 
to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zide.n, by the 
hand of the messengers which c come to Jerusalem 
unto Zedekiah king of Judah; 

4 And command them to say unto their masters, 
Thus saith the d Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
Thus shall ye say unto your masters ; 

5 I have made the e earth, the man and the beast 
that are upon the ground, by my great power, and by 
my out-stretched arm, and have f given it unto whom 
it s seemed meet unto me. 

6 And now have I given all these lands into the 
hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, h my 
servant ; and the ' beasts of the field have I given him 
also to serve him. 

7 And all nations shall serve him, and his k son, and 
his ' son's son, until the very m time of his land come ; 
and then many nations and great kings shall " serve 
themselves of him. 

8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and 
kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchad- 
nezzar the. king of Babylon, and that will not put their 
neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that 
nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, 
and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I 
have consumed them by his hand. 

9 Therefore hearken not ye to your ° prophets, nor 
to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your 
enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto 
you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon : 

10 For they prophesy p a lie unto you, to q remove 
you far from your land ; and that I should drive you 
out, and ye should perish. 

1 1 But the nations that bring their neck under r the 
yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those 
will I let remain still in their own land, saith the Lord : 
and they shall till it, and dwell therein. 

12 IT I spake also to s Zedekiah king of Judah ac- 
cording to all these words, sajing, Bring your necks 
under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him 
and his people, and live. 

1 3 * Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the 
sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the 
Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not 
serve the king of Babylon ? 

1 4 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the 
prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not 
serve the king of Babylon : for they prophesy u a lie 
unto you.

you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets 
that prophesy unto you. 

16 Also I spake to the priests, and to all this people, 
saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hearken not to the words 
of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Be- 
hold, the z vessels of the Lord's house shall now z2Chr. 36, 
shortly be brought again from Babylon : for they pro- 7 - ia 
phesy a lie unto you. 

17 Hearkeij not unto them; serve the king of 
Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be 

a laid waste ? ach.25,33. 

1 8 But if they be prophets, and if the word of the 

Lord be with them, let them now make b intercession b Gen. 20,7. 
to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left f> b ^ *• . 
in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the Ezek.22,3». 
king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon. 

1 9 For thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the 

c pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the c 2 Kings 
bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that 26* 16 - 
remain in this city, 

20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took d 2 Kings 
not, when he carried away captive d Jeconiah, the son 24 > i4.° 
of Jehoiakim king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Baby- thite^es. 
Ion, and all the t nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; " isa. 34, 12. 

21 Yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of ^ ev \^ 
Israel, concerning the vessels that e remain in the house 24.' 

of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah Isr " ah 5 ' 25 - 
and of Jerusalem ; 

22 They shall be r carried to Babylon, and there 
shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the 
Lord : then will I bring them up, and g restore them 22 
to this place. 

CHAP. XXVIII. 

Hananiah prophesieth the return of the vessels and of Jeconiah. 
ND it came to pass the same year, in a the be- 
ginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, 
in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hana- 
niah the son of Azur tlie b prophet, which was of ^ch. 23, 2! 
Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the Lord, in the 2 Tim. -3,a. 
presence of the priests, and of all the people, saying, 

2 c Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of °J ^ngs 
Israel, saying, 1 have broken the yoke of the king of c k 14, 14. 
Babylon. & 23 - «■ 

3 Within two full years will I d bring again into | Ezek - 13 « 
this place all the vessels of the Lord's house that 2 Pet 2, 19* 
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this 

place, and carried them to Babylon : 

4 And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the 

son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the e captives e ch. 24, 4. 
of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the Lord : * 
for I will f break the yoke of the king of Babylon. 

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet

hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the

from Babylon into this place. v 

7 Nevertheless, hear thou now this word that I 
speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people ; 

8 The h prophets that have been before me, and 
before thee of old, prophesied both against many coun- ^' ck ^ 17

the word of the prophet shall come to pass, ' then shall 
the prophet be known that the Lord hath truly sent 
him. 

1 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from 
m off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and n brake it. 

1 1 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the 
people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, ° Even so will 
I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 
from the neck of all nations, within the p space of two 
full years. And the prophet Jeremiah q went his way. 

12 If Then the word of the Lord came unto Jere- 
miah the prophet, (after that Hananiah the prophet had 
broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet 
Jeremiah,) saying, 

13 Go and tell Hananiah, Saying, Thus saith the 
Lord, Thou hast broken the yokes of wood ; but thou 
shalt make for them yokes of r iron. 

14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all 
these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar 
king of Babylon ; and they shall serve him : and 1 
have given him the s beasts of the field also. 

1 5 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah 
the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah, The Lord hath 
1 not sent thee ; but thou makest this people to trust 
in a lie. 

16 Therefore thus saith the Loud, Behold, I will 
" cast thee from off the face of the earth : this year 
thou shalt die, because thou hast x taught rebellion 
against the Lord. 

1 7 So Hananiah the prophet y died the same year, 
in the sevenih month. 

CHAP. XXIX. 

Jeremiah sendeth a letter to the captives in Babylon. 

NOW these are the words of the a letter that Jere- 
miah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the 
residue of the elders which were carried away b cap- 
tives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to 
all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried 
away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,

in the midst of you, m deceive you, neither hearken 
to your di earns which "ye cause to be dreamed.

Zedekiah and AhaUs fearful end. 

10 For thus saith the Lord, That after ''seventy 
years be q accomplished at Babylon I will r visit you, 
and perform my good word towards you, in causing 
you to return to this place. 

1 1 For I know s the thoughts that I think towards 
you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of £j 
evil, to give you 1 an expected end. 1 1 Pet 

12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and 
pray unto me, and I will u hearken unto you. 

13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye 
shall search for me x with all your heart. 

14 And I will be found of you, saith the Lord; 
and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather 
you from all the nations, and from all the places whi- 
ther I have driven you, saith the Lord ; and I will 
y bring you again into the place whence I caused you y isa.27, 12 
to be carried away captive. 

15 Because z ye have said, The Lord hath raised 
us up prophets in Babylon ; 

1 6 Know that thus saith the Lord of the king that 
sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people 
that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that 
are not gone forth with you into captivity ; 

17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will 
send upon them the a sword, the famine, and the pes- 
tilence, and will make them like b vile figs, that can- 
not be eaten, they are so evil. 

1 8 And I will persecute them with the sword, with 
the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver 
them t to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, t Heb./oro 
to be c a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, 
and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have 
driven them : 

1 9 Because they have not hearkened to my words, 
saith the Lord, which d I sent unto them by my ser- 
vants the prophets, rising up early and sending them ; 
but ye would not hear, saith the Lord. 

20 Hear ye, therefore, the word of the Lord, c all 
ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem 
to Babylon : 

21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 

of f Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the f 2 Pet. 2. 1 
son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my 
name, Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of 
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall g slay gSong2,i:>. 
them before your eyes ; 

22 And of them shall be taken up h a curse by all b.Isa.65,15. 
the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, 
The Lord make thee ' like Zedekiah, and like Ahab, i Ruth 4 
whom the king of Babylon k roasted in the fire ; 

23 Because they have committed ' villany in Israel, 
and have committed adultery with their neighbours' 
wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, 
which I have not commanded them ; even '" I know, 
and am a witness, saith the Lord. 

24 Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the 
|| Nehelamite, saying, 

25 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters " in thy 
name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and 
to " Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and 
to all the priests, saying, 

26 The Lord hath made thee priest in the stead of 
Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the 
house of the Lord, for every man that is ■' mad, and 
maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest '' put 
him in prison, and in the stocks :

JEREMIAH. 

which 3 maketh himself a pro 



VJie Jews' return : 

Jeremiah of Anathoth. 
phet to you ? 

28 For therefore * he sent unto us in Babylon, say- 
ing, This captivity is long : build ye houses, and dwell 
in them ; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 

29 And u Zephaniah the priest read this letter in 
the ears of Jeremiah the prophet. 

30 Then came, the word of the Lord unto Jere- 
miah, saying, 

31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus 
saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite ; 
Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, 
and x I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in 
y a lie ; 

32 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed : he 
shall not have a man to dwell z among this people ; 
neither shall a he behold the good that I will do for 
my people, saith the Lord ; because he hath b taught 
rebellion against the Lord. 

CHAP. XXX. 

God shezceth Jeremiah the return of the Jews. 

THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, 
saying, 

2 Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, 
a Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto 
thee in a book. 

3 For, lo, b the days come, saith the Lord, that I 
will c bring again the captivity of my people Israel 
and Juclah, saith the Lord ; and I will cause them to 
return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they 
shall possess it. 

4 And these are the words that the Lord spake 
concerning Israel, and concerning Judah. 

5 For thus saith the Lord, We have heard a voice 
of d trembling, of fear, and e not of peace. 

6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth f tra- 
f' isa. 66, 7. vail with child ? wherefore do I see every man with

7 Alas ! for that day is g great, so that h none is like 
it -. it is even the s time of Jacob's trouble ; but k he 
shall be saved out of it. 

8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the 
Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from oif thy 
neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall 
1 no more serve themselves of him : 

9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and 
m David their king, whom I will " raise up unto them. 

I Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, 
saith the Lord ; neither be dismayed, O Israel : for, 
lo, I will ° save thee from afar, and thy seed from the 
land of their captivity ; and Jacob shall return, and 
shall be p in rest and be quiet, and none shall make 
him afraid. 

I I For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save 
thee : though I make a full end of all nations whither 
I have scattered thee, yet will I not make q a full end 
of thee ; but I will correct thee r in measure, and will 
not leave thee altogether unpunished. 

1 2 For thus saith the I ,ord, Thy 9 bruise is incura- 
ble, and thy wound is grievous. 

13 There is t none to plead thy cause, that thou 
mayest be bound up : thou hast " no healing medi- 
cines.

thee not : for I have wounded thee with the wound of j 
an y enemy, with the chastisement of z a cruel one, for!

the multitude of thine iniquity ; because thy sins were 
increased. 

15 Why *criest thou for thi Me affliction? thy sor- 
row is incurable for the b multitude of thine iniquity : 
because thy sins were increased I have done these 
things unto thee.

T the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the

Yea, I have e loved thee with f an everlasting love; e Mai. 1,3.

4 Again I will h build thee, and thou shalt be built, 
O virgin of Israel : thou shalt again be adorned with 
thy ! tablets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them 
that make merry. 

5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of 
Samaria: the planters shall k plant, and shall eat kisa.65,21.

9 They shall come with r weeping, and with s sup-

14 And I will e satiate the soul of the priests with 
fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my 
goodness, saith the Lord. 

15 Thus saith the Lord, A voice was heard in 
r Kamah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel 
weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for 
her children, g because they were not. 

16 Thus sailh the Lord, h Refrain thy voice from 
weeping, and thine eyes from tears : for thy work 
shall be ' rewarded, saith the Lord ; and they shall 
k come again from the land of the enemy. 

1 7 And there, is ' hope in thine end, saith the Lord, 
that thy m children shall come again to their own 
border. 

1 8 I have surely heard n Ephraim bemoaning him- 
self thus ; Thou hast "chastised me, and I was chas- 
tised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke : turn 
thou me, and I shall be turned ; for thou art the Lord 
my God. 

1 9 Surely p after that I was turned, I repented ; 
and after that I was q instructed, I smote upon my 
thigh : I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because 
I did bear the r reproach of my youth. 

20 Is Ephraim my 9 dear son ? is he a pleasant 
child ? For since 1 spake against him, I do earnestly 
1 remember him still ; therefore my bowels are " trou- 
bled for him : I will surely x have mercy upon him, 
saith the Lord. 

21 Set thee up y way-marks, make thee 'high heaps : 
a set thy heart toward the highway, even the wa 
which thou wentest : turn again, O virgin of Israe 
turn again to these thy cities. 

22 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding 
daughter ? for the Lord hath created a new thing in 
the earth, h A woman shall compass a man. 

23 Thus sailh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah, 
and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their 
captivity-; The Lord c bless thee, *' O habitation of 
justice, and e mountain of holiness. 

24 And there shall f dwell in Judah itself, and in 
all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they 
that go forth with "~oks.

Tlie stability of the church. 

25 For I have satiated the e weaiy soul, and I have 
replenished every sorrowful soul. 

26 Upon this I h awaked, and beheld; and my 'sleep 
was sweet unto me. 

27 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I 
will sow the house of Israel, and the house of Ju- 
dah, with the k seed of man, and with the seed of |j J p 
beast. 

28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have 
watched over them, to ' pluck up, and to break down, 
and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict ; so 
will I watch over them, to m build, and to plant, saith 
the Lord. 

29 In those days they shall say no more, " The u Lam. 5, 7. 
fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's 
teeth are set on edge. 

30 But every one shall die ° for his own iniquity : 
every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall 
be set on edge. 

31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I 
will make v a new covenant with the house of Israel, 
and with the house of Judah ; 

32 Not according q to the covenant that I made with 
their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand, 
to bring them out of the land of Egypt ; (which my 
covenant 'they brake, although I was a husband unto 2Coi.3j3.6. 
them, saith the Lord ;) cii. S 'ii, i s. 

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make Rom. 11,20. 
with the house of Israel ; After those days, saith the 
Lord, s I will put my law in their * inward parts, and 
" write it in their hearts ; and will be their God, and 
they shall be my people. 

34 And they shall teach no more every man his 
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know 
the Lord : for they shall all x know me, from the least 
of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord : 
for I will y forgive their iniquity, and I will remember 
their sin no more. 

35 Thus saith the Lord, which z giveth the sun for zGen. 1,1s. 
a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of 

the stars for a light by night, which a divideth the sea aisa.51,15. 
when the waves thereof roar ; The Lord of hosts is 
his name : 

36 If '' those ordinances ° depart from before me, 
saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease 
from being a nation before me for ever. 

37 Thus saith the Lord, If heaven above can be 

J measured, and the foundations of the earth searched dch.33, 22. 
out beneath, I will also cast off * all the seed of Israel, «Ro»'- 1 1 *• 
f for all that they have done, saith the Lord. fEsseic.3i>,2.

of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner. 

39 And the measuring-line shall yet go forth over f, zed 
against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about l6 -

40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of 
the ashes, and all the fields, unto the brook of Kidron, 
unto the corner of the horse-gate towards the east 
shall be ' holy unto the Lord ; it shall k not be, plucket 
up, nor thrown down, any more for ever.

in the court of the prison, which was in the king of 
Judah's house. 

3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, 
saying, e Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus 
saith the Lord, Behold, f I will give this city into the 
hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it ;. 

4 And g Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape 
out the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be 
delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and 
shall h speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes 
shall behold his eyes ; 

5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and 
there shall he be ' until I visit him, saith the Lord : 
though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall k not 
prosper. 

6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

7 Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum, thine 
uncle, shall come unto thee, saying, ' Buy thee my 
field that is in Anathoth ; for the m right of redemption 
is thine to buy it. 

8 So Hanameel, mine uncle's son, came to me in 
the court of the prison, according to the word of the 
Lord, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, 
that is in " Anathoth, which is in the country of Ben- 
jamin : for the right of inheritance is thine, and the 
redemption is thine ; buy it for thyself. ° Then I knew 
that this was the word of the Lord. 

9 And T bought the field of Hanameel, mine uncle's 
son, that was in Anathoth, and p weighed him the 
money, ex^en seventeen shekels of silver. 

10 And I subscribed the evidence, and q sealed it, 
and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the 
balances. 

11 Sn I took the evidence of the purchase, both 
that which was sealed according r to the law and cus- 
tom, and that which was open. 

12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto 
5 Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in 
the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the 
presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of 
the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court 
of the prison. 

13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying, 

1 4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, 
(both which is sealed,) and this evidence which is open, 
and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may 
continue many days : 

1 5 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, Houses, and fields, and vineyards, shall be 
1 possessed again in this land. 

16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the 
purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, u I prayed 
unto the Lord, saying, 

17 Ah, Lord God! behold, thou hast made the 
heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretch- 
ed-out arm, and there is x nothing too hard for thee : 

1 3 Thou shewest y loving-kindness unto thousands, 
and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the 
besom of their children after them : The z Great, the 
Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name. 

19* Great in counsel, and mighty b in work : (for 
thine c eyes arc open upon all the ways of the sons of 
men ; d to give every one according to his ways, and 
according to the fruit of his doings :) 

20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land 
of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among 



other men ; and hast made thee e a name, as at this 
day; 

21 And hast r brought forth thy people Israel out of 
the land of Egypt, with E signs, and with wonders, 
and with a strong hand, and with a stretched-out arm, 
and with great terror ; 

22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst 
swear to their fathers to give them, h a land flowing 
with milk and honey ; 

23 And they came in, and possessed it ; but they 
1 obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law : they 
have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them 
to do ; therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come 
upon them. 

24 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city 
to take it ; and the city k is given into the hand of the 
Chaldeans that fight against it, because of the. sword, 
and of the famine, and of the pestilence : and what 
thou hast spoken ' is come to pass ; and, behold, thou 
seest it. 

25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy 
thee the field for money, and take witnesses ; for m the 
city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 

26 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jere- 
miah, saying, 

27 Behold, I am the Lord, » the God of all flesh : 
is there ° any thing too hard for me ? 

28 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, p I will 
give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into 
the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he 
shall take it. 

29 And the Chaldeans, that fight, against this city, 
shall come and ,J set fire on this city, and burn it, with 
the houses r upon whose roofs they have offered incense 
unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto other 
gods, to provoke me to anger. 

30 For the children of Israel, and the children of 
Judah "have only done evil before me from their youth : 
for the children of Israel have only provoked me to 
anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord. 

31 For this city hath been to me as i a provocation 
of mine anger and of ray fury, from the day that they 
built it, even unto this clay, that I should remove it 
from before my face ; 

32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel, 
and of the children of Judah, which they have done 
to provoke me to anger, u they, their kings, their prin- 
ces, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of 
Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 

33 And they have turned unto me the back, and 
not the face : though I taught them, x rising up early 
and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to 
receive instruction. 

34 But they y set their abominations in the house 
which is called by my name, to defile it. 

35 And they " built the high places of Baal, which 
are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their 
sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto 
Molech, which I commanded them not, neither came 
it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, 
to cause Judah to sin. 

36 And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God 
of Israel, concerning this city, whereof a ye say, It 
shall be delivered into the hand of the king of 
Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by 
the pestilence ; 

37 Behold, I will b gather them out of all countries 
whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my

38 And they shall be d my people, and I will be 
their God : 

39 And I will give them e one heart, and f one way, 
that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them,

CHAP. XXXIII. 

1 A gracious return promised. 15 Christ the branch of 
righteousness promised. 

OREOVER, the word of the Lord came unto 
Jeremiah the a second time, while he was yet 
shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord, the b maker thereof, the 
Lord that formed it, to c establish it ; the Lord is his 
name ; 

3 d Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew 
thee "great and mighty tilings, which thou knowest not. 

4 For tlrus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, con- 
cerning the houses of this city, and concerning the 
houses of the kings of Judah, which are f thrown 
down by the mounts, and by the sword ; 

5 s They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it 
is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom 
h I have slain in mine anger, and in my fury, and for 
all whose wickedness I have hid my face from tliis 
city. 

6 Behold, ' I will bring it health and cure, and 1 
will cure them, and will k reveal unto them the abun- 
dance of peace and truth. 

7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah, and the 
captivity of ' Israel, to return, and will m build them 
as at the first. 

8 And I will D cleanse them from all their iniquity, 
whereby they have sinned against me ; and I will 
pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, 
and whereby they have transgressed against me 

9 And it shall be to me ° a name of joy, a praise 
and an honour before all the nations of the earth, 
which shall hear all the good that I do unto them : 
and they shall p fear and tremble for all the goodness, 
and for all the prosperity, that I procure unto it. 

10 Thus saith the Lord, Again there shall be heard 
qch. 32, 43. in this place (which '< ye say shall be desolate without 

man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, 
and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate 
without man, and without inhabitant, and without 
beast,)

cause to return the captivity of the land, * as at the * th 3 " . 20. 
first, saith the Lord. 

12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Again in this

tion of shepherds causing their flocks to he down. 

1 3 x In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of

land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, 
and 111 the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again 

under the hands of him that y telleth them, saith the y John 10,3. 
Lord. 

1 4 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I 
will z perform that good tiling which I have promised 
unto the house of Israel, and to the house of Judah. 

15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause 
the a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David ; 
and he shall b execute judgment and righteousness in 
the land. 

1 6 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusa- 
lem shall dwell safely : and this is the name where- 
with she shall be c called, J The Lord our right- 
eousness. 

17 For 
want a man 
Israel ; 

18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a 
man before me, f to offer burnt-offerings, and to kindle 
meat-offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. 

1 9 And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, 
saying, 

20 Thus saith the Lord, If you can g break my gch.31,36. 
covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, 

and that there should not be day and night in their 
season ; 

21 Then may also my covenant be broken with 
David my servant, that he should not have a son h to 
reign upon his throne ; and with the Levites the 
' priests, my ministers. 

22 As the k host of heaven cannot be numbered, 
neither the sand of the sea measured ; so will I mul- 
tiply the ' seed of David my servant, and the Levites M 
that minister unto me. 

23 Moreover, the word of the Lord came to Jere- 
miah, saying, 

24 Considerest thou not what m this people have 
?poken, saying, " The two families which the Lord 
hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? Thus they 
have despised my people, that they should be ° no 
more a nation before them. 

25 Thus saith the Lord, If my covenant be not 
with day and night, and if I have not p appointed the 
ordinances of heaven and earth ; 

26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and 
David my sen-ant, so that I will not take any of his 
seed to be q rulers over the r secd of Abraham, Isaac, 
and Jacob : for I will cause their captivity to return, 
and B have mercy on them.

Jeremiah prophesieth the JEREMIAH. 

Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the 
earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought 
against Jerusalem, and against b all the cities thereof,) 
saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Go, 
and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him ; 
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, c I will give this city 
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall 
burn it with fire. 

3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but 
shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand ; 
and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of 
Babylon, and he shall speak with thee d mouth to 
mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon. 

4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah 
king of Judah ; Thus saith the Lord of thee, Thou 
shalt e not die by the sword ; 

5 But thou shalt die in peace : and with the f burn- 
ings of thy fathers, the former kings wliich were be- 
fore thee, so shall they burn odours for thee ; and 
they will s lament thee, saying, Ah, lord ! for I have 
pronounced the word, saith the Lord. 

6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words 
unto h Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, 

7 When the king of Babylon's army fought against 
Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that 
were left, against 1 Lachish, and against Azekah : 
for these k defenced cities remained of the cities of 
Judah. 

8 This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from 
the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had t made a 
covenant with all the people which were at Jerusa- 
lem, to proclaim ' liberty unto them ; 

9 That every man should let his man-servant, and 
every man his maid-servant, being a Hebrew or a 
Hebrewess, go free ; that none m should serve himself 
of them, to wit, of a Jew " his brother. 

10 Now, when all the princes, and all the people 
which had entered into the covenant, heard that every 
one should let his man-servant, and every one his 
maid-servant, go free, that none should serve them- 
selves of them any more ; then they obeyed, and let 
them go. 

11 But "afterwards they turned, and caused the 
servants, and the handmaids, whom they had let go 
free, to return, and p brought them into subjection for 
servants and for handmaids. 

12 Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jere- 
miah from the Lord, saying, 

13 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, 1 made 
a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought 
them forth out i of the land of Egypt, out of the house 
of bondmen, saying, 

1 4 r At the end of seven years, let. ye go every man 
his brother a Hebrew, which hath been s sold unto 
thee ; and, when he hath served thee six years, thou 
shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers 
hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear. 

1 5 And ye were l now turned, and had done right 
in my sight, in proclaiming liberty eveiy man to his 
neighbour : and ye had made a covenant before me 
in " the house which is called by my name : 

1 6 But ye turned, and x polluted my name, and 
caused every man his servant, and every man his 
handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their plea- 
sure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to 
be iiuto you for servants and for handmaids.

us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our

have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed : 

10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed,

commanded us.

of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the 
Syrians : so we dwell at Jerusalem. 

1 2 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jere- 
miah, saying, 

13 Tims saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
Go and tell the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem, W ill '> ye not receive instruction to hearken 
to my words ? saith the Lord. 

1 4 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that 
he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are r per- 
formed ; for unto this day they drink none, but obey 
their father's commandment : notwithstanding s I have 
spoken unto you, rising early and speaking ; but ye 
hearkened not unto me. 

1 5 1 have sent also unto you all my servants the 
prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 
1 Return ye now every man from his evil way, and 
amend your doings, and go not after other gods to 
serve them, and ye shall u dwell in the land which I 
have given to you and to your fathers ; but ye have 
not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me. 

16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab 
have performed the commandment of their father, 
which he commanded them ; but this people hath not 
hearkened unto me : 

1 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the 
God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon Judah, and 
upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the evil that 

x iv. i,24. I have pronounced against them: x because I have 
tth.U^fi. spoken unto them, but they have not heard ; and y I 
have called unto them, but they have not z answered. 

1 8 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Re- 
chabites, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, Because ye have obeyed the commandment of 

's. si, ii. Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and 
Im^'oTZ ^ one according unto all that he hath commanded you ; 

1 9 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God

CHAP. XXXVI. 

Jeremiah causeth Baruch to write his prophecy. 
ND it came to pass, in the a fourth year of Jeho- 
iakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this 
word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 

2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein 
b all the words that I have spoken unto thee against 
Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, 
from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of 
Josiah, even || unto this day. 

3 c It may be that the house of Judah will hear all 
the evil which I purpose to do unto them ; that they 
may return every man from his d evil way, that I may 
forgive their iniquity and their sin. 

4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah : 
and Baruch e wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all 
the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto 

Heb.n;27. him, upon a roll of a book. 

5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am 
r shut up ; I cannot go into the house of the Lord : 

G Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which 
thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the 
Lord, in the ears of the people, in the Lord's house 
upon the g fasting-day : and also thou shalt read them 
in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities. 

7 It maybe they will ''present their supplication 
before the Lord, and will ' return every one from his 
evil way : for great is the anger and the fury that the 
i Tim.X8. Lord hath pronounced against this people.

The reading of Jeremiads prophecy 

8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to 
all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, read- 
ing in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's 
house. 

9 And it came to pass, in the fifth year of Jehoia- 
kim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth 
month, that they proclaimed k a fast before the Lord to k Ps. 78, 34. 
all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that i*a. -3, 3,4, 
came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem. cn . 4 7 s t g, 

1 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Teree 6 - 
Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the ' chamber 1 1 Kings 6, 
of Gemariah the son of Shaphan m the scribe, in the 
n higher court, at the entry of the ° new gate of the 
Lord's house, in the ears of all the people. 

1 1 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son 
of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words 
of the Lord, 

1 2 Then he went down into the king's house, into 

the p scribe's chamber, and, lo, all the princes sat p 1 Kings 
there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son 4 ' 3 ' 
of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and 
Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son 
of Hananiah, and all the princes. 

13 Then Michaiah q declared unto them all the 
words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book 
in the ears of the people. 

1 4 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of 
Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, 
unto Baruch, saying, Take in thy hand the roll 
wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and 
come. So Baruch the son of Neriah r took the roll 
in his hand, and came unto them. 

1 5 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read 
it in our ears. So Baruch read it s in their ears. 

1 6 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all 
the words, they were ' afraid both one and other, and 
said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all |? a - 6 V, , 
these words. t eh. 34, 15. 

17 And they asked Baruch, saying, u Tell us now. £°£ 5 d L 
How didst thou write all these words at his mouth ? „ j u< j g \ 4< 

1 8 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced 12. 

all these words unto me with his mouth, and I x wrote ^"S 23 ' 
them with ink in the book. Mat. 10, 32. 

19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go hide Rom - h iC - 
thee, y thou and Jeremiah, and let no man know where y Ps. 121,3. 
ye be. 

20 And they went in to the king into the court, but 
they z laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the 
scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king. 

21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and 
he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber : and 
Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears 
of all the princes which- stood beside the king. 

22 Now the king sat in the a winter-house, in the 
ninth month : and there was afire on the hearth burn- 
ing before him. 

23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read 

three or four leaves, he b cut it with the pen-knife, and i) 1 King* 

cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, unlil all the ve ; se ' 29 . 

roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. Aim* 7, 12,

lemiah the son of Abdeel, e to take Baruch the scribe, 
and Jeremiah the prophet : but the Lord f hid them. 

27 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, 
(= after that the king had burnt the roll, and the words 
which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah,) 
saying, 

28 h Take thee again another roll, and write in it 
all the former words that were in the first roll, which 
J ehoiakim the king of Judah hath burnt. 

29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, 
Thus saith the Lord, Thou hast burnt this roll, saying, 
1 Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of 
Babylon shall k certainly come and destroy this land, 
and shall cause to cease from thence man and 
beast? 

30 Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoiakim king 
of Judah, He shall have ' none to sit upon the throne 
of David ; and his dead body shall be cast out in the 
day to the heat, and in the night to the frost. 

31 And I will m punish him, and his seed, and his 
servants, for their iniquity, and I will bring upon 
them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and 
upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pro- 
nounced against them : but they hearkened not. 

32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to 
Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote 
therein, from the "mouth of Jeremiah, all the words 
of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burnt 
in the fire : and there were added besides unto them 
many like words. 

CHAP. XXXVII. 

1 Jeremiah prophesieth the Chaldeans' 1 certain return and 

victory : 1 1 He is smitten and put in prison. 

ND king Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, reigned 

instead of a Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom 

Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the 

land of Judah. 

2 But neither he, b nor his servants, nor the people 
of the land, did hearken unto the words of the Lord, 
which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah. 

3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of 
Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the 
priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, c Pray now 
unto the Lord our God for us. 

4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the 
people : for they had not put him into prison. 

5 Then d Pharaoh's army was come forth out of 
Egypt : and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jeru- 
salem heard tidings of them, they e departed from 
Jerusalem. 

6 Then came the word of the Lord unto the prophet 
Jeremiah, saying, 

7 Thus saith the L,ord, the God of Israel, Thus 
shall ye say to the king of Judah, that f sent you unto 
me to inquire of me ; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which 
is come forth to help you, shall s return to Egypt into 
their own land. 

8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight 
against this city, and h take it. and burn it with fire. 

9 Thus saith the Lord, ' Deceive not yourselves, 
saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us : 
for they shall not depart. 

10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of 
the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there re- 
mained but wounded men among them, k ijet should 
they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city 
with fire. 

1 1 And it came to pass, that when the army of the 



Chaldeans was oroken up from Jerusalem for fear of 
Pharaoh's army, 

12 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to 
go into the land of Benjamin, to ' separate himself 
thence in the midst of the people. 

13 And when he was in the m gate of Benjamin, a 
captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, 
the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah ; and he 
took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou D fallest away 
to the Chaldeans. 

1 4 Then said Jeremiah, It is t false ; I fall not away 
to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him : so 
Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. 

1 5 Wherefore the princes ° were wroth with Jere- 
miah, and p smote him, and put him in prison in the 
house of q Jonathan the scribe ; for they had made that 
the prison. 

1 6 When Jeremiah was entered into the r dungeon, 
and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there 
many days ; 

1 7 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and 8 took him out ; 
and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, 
Is there l any word from the Lord ? And Jeremiah 
said, There is : for, said he, thou shalt be u delivered 
into the hand of the king of Babylon. 

! 8 Moreover, Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, 
x What have I offended against thee, or against thy 
servants, or against this people, that ye have put me 
in prison ? 

1 9 y Where are now your prophets which prophesied 
unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not 
come against you, nor against this land? 

20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the 
king : let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted 
before thee ; that thou cause me not to return to the 
house of Jonathan the scribe, z lest I die there. 

21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they 
should a commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, 
and that they should give him daily h a piece of bread 
out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city 
were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of 
the prison. 

CHAP. XXXVIII. 

1 Jeremiah, by a false suggestion, is put into the dungeon of 

Mulchiah : 7 Ebed-melech getteth him some enlargement. 
TW1HEN Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Geda- 
JL liah the son of Pashur, and Ji>cal the son of 
Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard 
a the words that Jeremiah had spoken b unto all the 
people, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord, c He that remaineth in this 
city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the 
pestilence : but lie that goeth forth to the Chaldeans 
shall live ; for he shall have d his life for a prey, and 
shall live. 

3 Thus saith the Lord, This city shall surely be 
e given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, 
which shall take it. 

4 Therefore the f princes said unto the king, We. 
beseech thee, let this man be g put to death ; for thus 
he h weakeneth the hands of the men of war that re- 
main in this city, and the hands of all the people, in 
speaking such words unto them : for this man ' seeketh 
not the welfare of this people, but the hurt. 

5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in 
your hand : for tl>e king is not he that k can do any 
thing against you. 

6 Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the

1 dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that 
was in the court of the prison : and they let down 
Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was 
no water, but mire : so Jeremiah sunk in the mire. 

7 Now when Ebed-melech the m Ethiopian, one of 
the eunuchs, which was n in the king's house, heard 
that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon, (the king 
then sitting in the gate of Benjamin,) 

8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, 
and ° spake to the king, saying, 

9 My lord the king, p these men have done evil in 
all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom 
they have cast into the dungeon ; and he is like to die 
for hunger in the place where he is ; for there is no 
more bread in the city. 

10 Then the king q commanded Ebed-melech the 
Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with 
thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the 
dungeon, before he die. 

1 1 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and 
went into the house of the king under the treasury, 
and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and 
let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah. 

1 2 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jere- 
miah, Put now these old cast clouts and r rotten rags 
s under thine arm-holes, under the cords. And Jere- 
miah did so. 

1 3 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took 
him up out of the dungeon : and Jeremiah remained 
in the court of the t prison. 

1 4 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and u took Jere- 
miah the prophet unto him into the x third entry that 
is in the house of the Lord : and the king said unto 
Jeremiah, I will ask thee y a thing ; z hide nothing 
from me. 

15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If T declare 
it unto thee, wilt thou not surely a put me to death ? 
and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou b not hearken 
unto me ? 

16 So the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, say- 
ing, As the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will 
not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the 
hand of these men that seek thy life. 

1 7 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith 
the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, If thou 
wilt assuredly c go forth unto the king of Babylon's 
princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not 
be burnt with fire ; and thou shalt live, and thy house : 

1 8 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Baby- 
lon's princes, then shall this city be given into the 
hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with 
fire, and thou shalt '' not escape out of their hand. 

19 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, c I 
am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, 
lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me. 

20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. 
Obey, I f beseech thee, the voice of the Lord, which 
I speak unto thee : so it shall be well unto thee, and 
thy soul shall live. 

21 But if thou refuse to go forth, E this is the word 
that the Lord hath shewed me : 

22 And, behold, all the h women that are left in the 
king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king 
of Babylon's princes : and those women shall say, Thy 
friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against 
thee : thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned 
away back. 

23 So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy

1 children to the Chaldeans ; and thou shalt not escape 
out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of 
the king of Babylon : and thou shalt cause this city 
to be burnt with fire. 

24 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man 
know of these words, and thou shalt not die. 

25 But if k the princes hear that I have talked with 
thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, 
Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, 
hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death ; 
also what the king said unto thee ; 

26 Then thou shalt say unto them, I ' presented 
my supplication before the king, that he would not 
cause me to return to m Jonathan's house, to die there. 

27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and 
asked him : and he told them n according to all these 
words that the king had commanded. So they left off 
speaking with him : for the matter was not perceived. 

28 So Jeremiah ° abode in the court of the prison 
until the day that Jerusalem was taken : and he was 
there when Jerusalem was taken. 

CHAP. XXXIX. 

1 Jerusalem is taken. 7 Zedekiah is made blind, and sent 
to Babylon. 9 Tlie people carried away captive. 
N the a ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in 
the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of 
Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they 
besieged it. 

2 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah. in the 
b fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the c city 
was broken up. 

3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came 
in, and sat in d the middle gate, even Nergal-sharezer, 
Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, 
Rab-mag, with all the residue of the princes of the 
king of Babylon. 

4 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king 
of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then 
e they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by 
the way of the king's garden, f by the gate betwixt the 
two walls ; and he went out the way of the plain. 

5 But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and 
overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho : and when 
they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebu- 
chadnezzar king of Babylon to 6 Riblah, in the land 
of Hamath, where he b gave judgment upon him. 

6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zede- 
kiah in Riblah before his eyes : also the king of 
Babylon slew all the ' nobles of Judah. 

7 Moreover, he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound 
him k with chains, to cany him to Babylon. 

8 And the Chaldeans burnt the king's house, and 
the ' houses of the people, with fire, and brake down 
the walls of Jerusalem. 

9 Then Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard, 
carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of (he 
people that remained in the city, and those that fell 
away, that m fell to him, with the rest of the people 
that remained. 

10 But Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard. 
" left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in 
the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields 
at the same time. 

1 1 IT Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave 
charge n concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar-adan the 
captain of the guard, saying, 

12 Take him, and look well to him, and p do him no 
but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.

Jeremiah set free. 

13 So Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard, 
sent, and Nebushasbaii, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sha- 
rezer, Rab-mag, and all the king of Babylon's 
princes, 

1 4 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah q out of the 
court of the prison, and committed him unto r Geda- 
liah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he 
should carry s him home : so he dwelt among the 
people. 

15 IF Now the word of the Lord came unto Jere- 
miah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, 
saying, 

1 6 Go and * speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, 
saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, Behold, I will bring my words upon this city 
for evil, and not for good ; and they shall be accom- 

a Ps. 91, 8. plished in that day u before thee. 
xisa.3,io, 17 But I will x deliver thee in that day, saith the 
l l p . _ Lord ; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of 
' ' the men of whom thou art afraid. 

18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt 
not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey 
unto thee ; because thou hast y put thy trust in me, 
saith the Lord. 

CHAP. XL. 

1 Jeremiah, being set free by Nebuzar-adan, goeth to Geda- 
liah: 7 The Jews repair to him. 15 IshmaeVs conspiracy. 

HE word a which came to Jeremiah from the 
Lord, after that Nebuzar-adan the captain of 
the guard had let him go from Ramath, when he had 
taken him, being bound b in chains among all that 
were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, 
which were carried away captive unto Babylon. 

2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and 
said unto him, The Lord thy God hath c pronounced 
this evil upon this place. 

3 Now the Lord hath brought it, and done accord- 
ing as he hath said : because ye have d sinned against 
the Lord, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore 
this tiling is come upon you. 

4 And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the 
chains which were upon e thy hand. If it seem good 
unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come, and 
I will f look well unto thee ; but if it seem ill unto 
thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear : behold, 
g all the land is before thee : whither it seemeth good 
and convenient for thee to go, thither go. 

5 Now, while he was not yet gone back, he said, 
Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son 
of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made 
governor over all the cities of Judah, and dwell with 
him h among the people ; ' or go wheresoever it seem-

him go. 

6 Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of 
Ahikam, to m Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the 
people that were left in the land. 

7 IT Now when all the n captains of the forces 
which were in the fields, even they and their men, 
heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah 
the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had 
committed unto him men, and women, and children, 
and of the poor of the land, of them that were not 
carried away captive to Babylon ; 

8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah. even 
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and 
Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of 




JEREMIAH. Ishmael' 1 s conspiracy. 

Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the p Netopha-

and their men. 

9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of H Chr - % 
Shaphan, r sware unto them, and to their men, say- q i chr. 8, 
ing, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans : dwell in the fj Km'J 5 *

10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, t to t Heb. to

them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities u that ye i Kings 1,2.

1 1 Likewise, when all the Jews that were x in chap. 39,'i 
Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and "j^ 5 , 1 ^ 
that were in all the countries, heard that the king of 
Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he 
had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the 
son of Shaphan : 

12 Even all the Jews returned out of all places 
whither they were driven, and came to the land of 
Judah, to Gedafiah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine 
and summer-fruits very much. 

1 3 Moreover, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all 
the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came 
to Gedaliah to Mizpah, 

1 4 And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know 
that Baalis the king of the Ammonites y hath sent 
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah t to slay thee ? But 
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not. 

15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to 
Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I 
pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Netha- 
niah, and no man shall know it : wherefore should he 
slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto /t 9 od ' ° r . a 
thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah p^ 112 5 
perish ? 

1 6 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Jo- 
hanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do tins 
thing ; for thou speakest t falsely of Ishmael. 

CHAP. XLI. 

Ishmael treacherously killeth Gedaliah and others. 

NOW it came to pass in the a seventh month, that 
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Eli- 
shama, of the b seed royal, and the princes of the 
king, even ten men with liim, came unto Gedaliah 
the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah ; and there they did 
c eat bread together in Mizpah. 

2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and 
the ten men that were with him, and d smote Geda- 
liah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the 
sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had 
made governor over the land. 

3 Ishmael also slew e all the Jews that were with ePs. 52,1,3. 
him, even with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chal- 
deans that were found there, and the men of war. 

4 And it came to pass, the second day after he had 
slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it, 

5 That there came certain from f Shechem, from 
g Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, 
having their h beards shaven, and their clothes rent, 
and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense 
in their hand, to bring them to the ' house of the Lord. 

6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth 
from Mizpah to meet them, k weeping all along as he 
went : and it came to pass, as he met them, he said 
unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.

of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah || slew 
them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and 
the men that were with him. 

8 But ten men were found among them that said 
unto Ishmael, Slay us not ; for we have treasures in 
the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of 
honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among 
their brethren. 

9 A r ow the pit wherein Ishmael had cast ' all the 
dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain t because 
of Gedaliah, was it which m Asa the king had made 
for fear of Baasha king of Israel ; and Ishmael the 
son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain. 

10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the 
residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the 
n king's daughters, and all the people that remained 
in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the 
guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam : 
and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away 

©Neh.6,17, captive, and departed to go over to the "Ammonites. 

1 1 But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all 
the p captains of the forces that were with him, heard 
of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah 
had done, 

1 2 Then they took all the men, and went to q fight 
with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him 
by the r great waters that are in Gibeon. 

13 Now it came to pass, that when all the people 
which were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of 
Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were 
with him, then they were s glad. 

14 So all the people that Ishmael had earned away 
captive from Mizpah cast about, and returned, and 
1 went unto Johanan the son of Kareah. 

15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah u escaped 
uJob2i,30. fi-om Johanan with eight men, and went to the Am- 
monites. 

1 6 Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all 
the captains of the forces that were with him, all the 

*Job27,i6. remnant of the people whom he had * recovered from 
Prov'i2 6 27 I s ' imae l the son of" Nethaniah, from Mizpah, (after 
that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam,) even 
tHeb- J/**- t mighty men of war, and the women, and the chil- 
dren, and the y eunuchs, whom he had brought again 
from Gibeon : 

17 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation 
of z Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter 
into Egypt, 

1 8 t Because of the Chaldeans : for they were 
afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah 
had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the 
king of Babylon made governor in the land.

your God according to your words ; and it shall come 
to pass, that 6 whatsoever thing the Lord shall answer 
you, I will declare it unto you ; I will h keep nothing 
back from you. 

5 Then they said to Jeremiah, The Lord be a 
1 true and faithful witness between us, if we do not 
even according to all tilings for the which the Lord 
thy God shall send thee to us. 

6 Whether it be k good, or whether it be evil, we 
will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom 
we send thee ; that it may be ! well with us, when 
we obey the voice of the Lord our God. 

7 IF And it came to pass, m after ten days, that the 
word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah. 

8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and 
all the captains of the forces which were with him. 
and all the people, from the n least even to the greatest, 

9 And said unto them, Thus saith ° the Lord, the 
God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your 
supplication before him ; 

10 If ye will still abide in this land, then will I 
p build you, and not pull you down ; and I will plant 
you, and q not pluck you up : for I r repent me of the 
evil that I have done unto you. 

1 1 s Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom 
ye are afraid ; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord : 
for I am x with you to save you, and to deliver you 
irom his hand. 

12 And I will shew mercies unto you, that u he 
may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return 
to your own land. 

13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, 
neither x obey the voice of the Lord your God, 

1 4 Saying, y No ; but we will go into the land ot 
Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound 
of a trumpet, nor have hunger of bread ; and there 
will we dwell : 

1 5 And now, therefore, hear the word of the Lord, 
ye remnant of Judah ; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, If ye wholly z set your faces a to 
enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there ; 

16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, 
which b ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land 
of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, 
shall follow close after you in Egypt; and there ye 
shall die. 

1 7 c So shall it be with all the men that set their 
faces to go into Egypt, to sojourn there ; they shall 
die d by the sword, by the famine, and by the pesti- 
lence : and none of them shall remain or escape from 
the evil that I will bring upon them. 

18 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, As mine anger and my fury hath been poured 
forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; so shall my 
fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter 
into Egypt : and ye shall be e an execration, and an 
astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach ; and ye 
shall see this place no more. 

19 The Lord hath said concerning you, Oye rem- 
nant of Judah, Go ye not into Egypt : know certainly 
that I have r admonished you this day. 

20 For ye s dissembled in your hearts, when ye 
sent me unto the Lord your God, saying. Pray for us 
unto the Lord our God ; and according unto all that 
the Lord our God shall say. so declare unto us, and 
we will do it, 

21 And now I have this day h declared it to you; 
but ye have not obeved the voice of the Lord your

CHAP. XLIII. 

Jeremiah prophesieth the conquest of Egypt by the Babylonians. 

AND it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had 
made an end of" speaking unto all the people 
all the words of the Lord their God, for which the 
Lord their God had sent him to them, even all these 
words, 

2 Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and 
Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the a proud men, 
saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest b falsely: the 
Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into 
Egypt to sojourn there : 

3 But c Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on 
against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chal- 
deans, that d they might put us to death, and carry us 
away captives into Babylon. 

4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the cap 
tains of the forces, and all the people, e obeyed not the 
voice of the Lord, to f dwell in the land of Judah ; 

5 But g Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the cap- 
tains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that 
were returned from all nations whither they had been 
driven, to dwell in the land of Judah ; 

6 Even men, and women, and children, and the 
h king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzar- 
adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah 
the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and i Jere- 
miah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah. 

7 So they came into the land of Egypt : for they 
obejed not the voice of the Lord. Thus came they 
even to k Tahpanhes. 

8 '■Then came the word of the Lord unto Jere- 
miah in Tahpanhes, saying, 

9 Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in 
the clay in the brick-kiln, which is m at the entry of 
Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men 
of Judah ; 

10 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will send and take 
Nebuchadrezzar the king of n Babylon my servant, 
and will ° set his throne upon these stones that I have 
hid ; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. 

1 1 And when he cometh, he shall p smite the land 
of Egypt, and deliver •* such as are for death, to death ; 
and such as are for captivity, to captivity ; and such 
as are for the sword, to the sword. 

1 2 And I will kindle a fire in the r houses of die 
gods of Egypt ; and he shall bum them, and carry 
them away captives ; and he shall array himself with 
the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his gar- 
ment ; and he shall go forth from thence s in peace. 

13 He shall break also the images of Beth-she- 
mesh, that is in the land of Egypt ; and the houses of 
the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire. 

CHAP. XLIV. 

Jeremiah prophesieth their destruction "who commit idolatry. 

THE word that came to Jeremiah concerning all 
the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, 
which dwell at a Migdol, and at b Tahpanhes, and at 
c NopL, and in the country of d Pathros, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
Ye have, seen all the evil that T have brought upon 




Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah ; and, 
behold, this day they are e a desolation, and no man 
dvvelleth therein ; 

3 Because of their wickedness which they have 
committed, f to provoke me to anger, in that they went 
to e burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they 
knew not, neither they, you, nor your fathers. 

4 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the 
prophets, h rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, 
do not this abominable thing that I hate. 

5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to 
turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto 
other gods. 

6 Wherefore ' my fury and mine anger was poured 
forth, and was kindled m the cities of Judah and in 
the streets of Jerusalem ; and they are wasted and 
desolate, k as at this day. 

7 Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of 
hosts, the God of Israel, ' Wherefore commit ye this 
great evil m against your souls, to cut off from you 
man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, 
to leave you none to remain ; 

8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the 
n works of your hands, burning incense unto other 
gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, 
that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be 
a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the 
earth ? 

9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, 
and the wickedness of the p kings of Judah, and the 
wickedness of then- wives, and your own wickedness, 
and the wickedness of your wives, which they have 
committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of 
Jerusalem ? 

1 They are not t humbled even unto this day, nei- 
ther have they feared, q nor walked in my law, nor in 
my statutes, that I set before you, and before your 
fathers. 

1 1 IT Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Israel, Behold, I wall r set my face against you 
for evil, and to cut off all Judah. 

12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have 
s set then faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn 
there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the 
land of Egypt ; they shall even be consumed by the 
sword and by the famine : they shall die, from the 
least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the 
famine : and they shall be * an execration, and an 
astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach. 

1 3 For I w ? ill t punish them that dwell in the land 
of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, 
by the famine, and by the pestilence : 

14 So that none of the remnant of Judah, which 
are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, \ shall 
escape or remain, that they should return into the land 
of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to 
dwell there ; for none shall return but such as shall 
escape. 

15 IT Then L all the men x which knew that their u Gen. 19,4. 
wives had burnt incense unto other gods, and all the f£ hron " iH 
women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the chap. 5, 3. 
people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, ^J 
answered Jeremiah, saying, 23. 

16 As for the word which thou hast spoken unto 

us in the name of the Lord, y we will not hearken 7 <=•»• 6, w 
unto thee. 

1 7 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing * Deut ,2 » 
* goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense pki. 3, ».

CHAP. XLV, XLV1. 



Pharaoh? s overthrow. 



unto the a queen of heaven, and to pour out drink- 
offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and b our 
fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of 
Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem : for then had 
we plenty of ° victuals, and were d well, and saw no 
evil. 

1 8 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen 
of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her, 
we have e wanted all things, and have been consumed 
by the sword and by the famine. 

19 And f when we burnt incense to the queen of 
heaven, and poured out drink-offerings unto her, did 
we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out 
drink-offerings unto her g without our men ? 

20 IF Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to 
the men, and to the women, and to all the people 
which had given him that answer, saying, 

21 The incense that ye burnt in the cities of Judah, 
and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, 
your kings, and your princes, and the people of the 
land, did not the Lord h remember them, and came 
it not into his mind ? 

22 So that the Lord could no ' longer bear, be- 
cause of the evil of your doings, and because of the 
abominations which ye have committed ; k therefore 
is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a 
curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. 

23 Because you have burnt incense, and because 
ye have sinned against the Lord, and have not obey- 
ed the voice of the Lord, nor walked in Iris law, nor 
in his statutes, nor in his testimonies ; therefore this 
evil is happened unto you, as at this day. 

24 Moreover, Jeremiah said unto all the people, 
and to all the women, Hear the word of the Lord, 
all Judah that are in ' the land of Egypt ; 

25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
saying, Ye and your wives have both m spoken with 
your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, 
We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, 
to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour 
out drink-offerings unto her : ye will surely accom- 
plish your vows, and surely n perform your vows. 

26 Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all 
Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I 
have ° sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, that 
p my name shall no more be named in the mouth of 
any man of Judah, in all the land of Egypt, saying 
The Lord God liveth. 

27 Behold, I will q watch over them for evil, and 
not for good ; and all the men of Judah that are in 
the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword 
and by the famine, until there be an end of them. 

28 Yet r a small number that escape the sword 
shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of 
Judah ; and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone 
into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall 8 know 
whose wards shall stand, mine, or theirs. 

29 And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the 
Lord, that I will punish you in this place, that ye 
may know that my words shall surely stand against 
you for evil : 

30 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, 1 1 will give Pha- 
raoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of u his ene- 
mies, and into the hand of them that seek his life, as 
I gave x Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of 
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon his enemy, and 
that sought his life.

Baruch being dismayed, Jeremiah comforteth him. 

HE word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto 
a Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written 
these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in 
the b fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king b -h. 35, 1. 
of Judah, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, c unto c 2 tor. 1,4. 
thee, O Baruch 5 

3 Thou didst say, i Wo is me now ! for the Lord 
hath e added grief to my sorrow ; I fainted in my 
sigliing, and I find no rest. 

4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord saith 
thus; Behold, that which I have built will I f break fPs- 52,5. 
down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, 

even this whole land. 

5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? s seek gPsai. 4, s. 
them not : for, behold, I will bring evil h upon all flesh, hGen.6,12. 
saith the Lord ; but thy life will I give unto thee ' for i ch. 39, is.

CHAP. XLVI. 

Jeremiah prophesieth the overthrow of Pharaoh's army at 
Euphrates. 

THE word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah 
the prophet against the a Gentiles ; 

2 Against Egypt, against the army of b Pharaoh- 
necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates 
in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar c king of Baby- 
lon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of 
Josiah king of Judah. 

3 d Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near 
to battle. 

4 Harness the horses ; and e get up, ye horsemen, 
and stand forth with your helmets ; furbish the spears, 
and put on the brigandines. 

5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned 

away back ? and their mighty ones are f beaten down, fMicah 1. 7. 
and are fled apace, and look not back : for g fear teas 
round about, saith the Lord. 

6 Let not the h swift flee away, nor the ' mighty 
man escape ; they shall stumble, and fall toward the 
north by the river Euphrates. 

7 k Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose 
waters are moved as the rivers ? 

8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are 
moved like the rivers ; and ' he saith, I will go up, and 
will cover the earth ; I will destroy m the city, and the s 
inhabitants thereof. 

9 Come up, ye horses ; and rage, ye chariots ; and 
let the mighty men come forth ; the Ethiopians and the 
" Libyans, that handle the shield ; and the Lydians, 
that handle and bend the bow. 

10 For this is ° the day of the Lord God of hosts, 
a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of liis 
adversaries : and the r sword shall devour, and it shall 
be satiate and made drunk with their blood ; for the 
Lord God of hosts hath q a sacrifice in the north 
country by the river Euphrates. 

1 1 Go up into Gilead and r take balm, O virgin, (lie 
daughter of Egypt : in vain shalt thou use many 
9 medicines ; for thou shalt not be cured. 

1 2 The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry 
hath filled the land : for the * mighty man hath stumbled 
against the mighty, and they are fallen both together. 

13 IF The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah 
the prophet, u how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 
should come and * smite the land of Egypt,

18 As I live, saith the King, g whose name is The 
Lord of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the moun- 
tains, and as Carmel by the sea, h so shall he come. 

1 9 O thou daughter ! dwelling in Egypt, furnish 
thyself to go k into captivity : for Noph shall be waste 
and desolate without an inhabitant. 

20 Egypt is like ' a very fair heifer, but destruction 
cometh ; it cometh out of m the north. 

21 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like 
fatted bullocks ; for they also are n turned back, and 
are fled away together : they did not stand, because 
the ° day of their calamity was come upon them, and 
the time of their visitation. 

22 The p voice thereof shall go like a serpent ; for 
they shall march with an army, and come against her 
with axes, as hewers of wood. 

23 They shall cut down her q forest, saith the Lord, 
though it cannot be searched ; because they are more 
than the grasshoppers, and are T innumerable. 

24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded ; 
she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of 
the north. 

25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith, 
Behold, I will punish the multitude of 8 No, and 
Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their tgods, and their u kings ; 
even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him : 

26 And I will x deliver them into the hand of those 
that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchad- 
rezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his ser- 
vants : and afterwards it shall be y inhabited, as in the 
days of old, saith the Lord. 

27 But z fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and 
be not dismayed, O Israel : for, behold, I will save 
thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their 
captivity ; and Jacob shall a return, and b be in rest 
and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. 

28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, Siiith the 
Lord ; for I am with thee : for I will make a full end 
of all the nations whither I have driven thee ; but I 
will c not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in 
measure : yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished. 

CHAP. XL VII. 

The destruction of the Philistines. 

THE word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah 
the prophet against the Philistines, a before that 
Pharaoh smote Gaza. 

2 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, b waters rise up 
out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, 
and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein ; 
c the city, and them that dwell therein : then the men 
shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl. 

3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his 
d strong horses, at the e rushing of his chariots, and 
at the rumbling of his wheels, the f fathers shall not 
look back to their children for feebleness of hands ; 

4 Because of the day g that cometh to spoil all the 



Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every 
h helper that remaineth ; for the Lord will spoil the 
Philistines, the remnant of the country of ' Caphtor. 

5 k Baldness is come upon Gaza ; Ashkelon is cut 
off with the remnant of their valley : how long wilt 
thou ' cut thyself? 

6 m O thou sword of the Lord, n how long will it 
be ere thou be quiet ? Put up thyself into thy scabbard, 
rest, and be still. 

7 How can it be ° quiet, seeing the Lord hath given 
it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea- 
shore ? there hath he p appointed it. 

CHAP. XL VIII. 

The judgment of Moab for their contempt of God. 

AGAINST Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Israel, Wo unto a Nebo ! for it is spoiled ; 
Kiriathaim is confounded and taken ; b Misgab is 
confounded and dismayed. 

2 Th ere shall be c no more praise of Moab: inHesh- 
bon they have d devised evil against it ; come, and let 
us cut it off from being a nation : also thou shalt be 
cut down, O Madmen ; the sword shall pursue thee. 

3 A voice of crying shall be e from Horonaim, 
spoiling and great destruction. 

4 Moab is f destroyed ; her little ones have caused 
a cry to be heard. 

5 For in the going up of g Luhith h continual weep- 
ing shall go up ; for in the going down of Horonaim 
the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. 

6 ' Flee, save your lives, and be like the k heath in 
the wilderness. 

7 For because thou hast ' trusted in thy works, 
and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken ; and 
m Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, with his "priests 
and his princes together. 

8 And the ° spoiler shall come upon every city, and 
no city shall escape ; the valley also shall perish, and 
the plain shall be destroyed, as the Lord hath spoken. 

9 Give p wings unto Moab, that it may flee and 
get away : for the cities thereof shall be desolate, 
without any to dwell therein. 

10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord 
deceitfully, and q cursed be he that keepeth back his 
sword from blood. 

1 1 Moab hath been r at ease from his youth, and 
he hath R settled on his lees, and hath ' not been emptied 
from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into cap- 
tivity : therefore his taste remained in him, and his 
scent is not changed. 

1 2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, 
that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause 
him u to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and 
x break their bottles. 

1 3 And Moab shall y be ashamed of Chemosh, as 
the house of Israel was ashamed of z Beth-el their 
confidence. 

1 4 How say ye, We are mighty and strong men 
for the war ? 

1 5 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, 
and his a chosen young men are gone down to the 
b slaughter, saith the King, c whose name is The Lord 
of hosts. 

16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his 
affliction d hasteth fast. 

1 7 All ye that are about him, e bemoan him ; and 
all ye that know his f name, say, How is the E strong 
staff broken, and the beautiful rod !

down from thy glory, and sit * in thirst ; for the spoiler 
of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy 

^^f thy strong holds. 

\^Ti ' 19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and 

1 1 Sam. 4, espy ; k ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, 

i Ps. 46, 8. an d say, ' What is done 1 

20 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: 
m howl and cry ; n tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is 
spoiled, 

21 And "judgment is come upon the plain country ; 
upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath, 

22 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon 
Beth-diblathaim, 

23 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, 
and upon Beth-meon, 

24 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon 
all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. 

p Ps. 75, 4. 25 The p horn of Moab is cut off, and his q arm 

1 Job 22, 9. i s broken, saith the Lord. 

rch. 25,17. 26 Make ye him r drunken ; for he magnified him- 

i Acts 9, 4. self s against the Lord : Moab also shall * wallow in 

Usa.19,14. j-jjg vom it, and he also shall be in derision. 

i Judg. i, 7. 27 For was not Israel a u derision unto thee ? was 

i ch. 2, 26. j ie x f oun( j among thieves ? for since thou spakest of 

r Ps. 22, 7. him, thou y skippedst for joy. 

28 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and 
i Judg. 20, dwell in the z rock, and be like the a dove that maketh 

her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth. 

29 b We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is ex- 
ceeding proud,) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and 
his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart. 

30 I know his wrath, saith the Lord : but it shall 
c not be so ; his d lies shall not so effect it. 

31 Therefore will e I howl for Moab, and I will 
cry out for all Moab ; my heart shall mourn for the 
men of Kir-heres. 

32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with 
the weeping of Jazer ; thy plants are gone over the 

iRw. 14,15. sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: f the spoiler 
l8 - is fallen upon thy summer-fruits, and upon thy 

vintage. 

33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful 
field, and from the land of Moab ; and I have caused 
wine to fail from the wine-presses : none shall tread 

'ch. si, 14. with shouting ; their shouting shall be g no shouting. 
Rev. is, 9, 34 jr rom t h e cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, 

and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, 

hisa. is, 5. from Zoar even unto Horonaim, h as a heifer of three 

46 > w - years old ; for the waters also of Nimrim shall be 

desolate. 

35 Moreover, I will cause to cease in Moab, saith 
>Nuro,25,3, the Lord, him that offereth in the ' high places, and 

him that burnetii incense to his gods. 

36 Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like 
pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the 
of Kir-heres : because the riches that he hath e 
k is perished. 

37 For every head shall be bald, and every beard 
1 dipt : upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon 
the loins sackcloth. 

38 There shall be lamentation generally upon all 
the house-tops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: 
for I have broken Moab like m a vessel wherein is no 
pleasure, saith the Lord. 

39 They shall howl, saying, ■ How is it broken 
down ! how hath Moab turned the back with shame ! 
so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all 
them about him.

40 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, he shall fly 
as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab. 

41 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are sur- 
prised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that 
day shall be p as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 

42 And Moab shall be q destroyed from being a 
people, because he hath magnified himself against 
the Lord. 

43 r Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon 
thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord. 

44 He that fleeth s from the fear shall fall into the 
pit ; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken 
in the snare : for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, 
the year of their visitation, saith the Lord. 

45 They that fled stood * under the shadow of 
Heshbon, because of the force : but a fire shall come 
forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of 
Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the 
u crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. 

46 Wo be unto thee, O Moab ! the people of Che- 
mosh perisheth : for thy sons are taken captives, and 
thy daughters captives. 

47 Yet will x I bring again the captivity of Moab 
in the y latter days, saith the Lord. Thus far is the 
judgment of Moab. 

CHAP. XLIX. 

1 The judgment of the Ammonites: 6 Their restoration. 

CONCERNING the Ammonites, thus saith the 
Lord, a Hath Israel no sons ? hath he no heir ? 
why then doth their king b inherit Gad, and his people 
c dwell in his cities ? 

2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, 
that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rab- 
bah of the Ammonites ; and it shall be a desolate 
heap, and her daughters shall be burnt with fire : then 
shall Israel d be heir unto them that were his hens, 
saith the Lord. 

3 e Howl, O Heshbon ; for Ai is spoiled : cry, ye 
daughters of Rabbah, gird ye with sackcloth ; lament, 
f and run to and fro by the hedges : for their king shall 
go into captivity, and his priests and his princes to- 
gether. 

4 Wherefore E gloriest thou m the valleys, thy flow- 
ing valley, O backsliding daughter ? that h trusted in 
her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me ? 

5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the 
Lord God of hosts, from all those that be about thee ; 
and ye shall be ' driven out every man right forth ; 
and k none shall gather up him that wandereth. 

6 And ' afterward I will bring again the captivity 
of the children of Ammon, saith the Lord. 

7 IF Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
m Is wisdom no more in Teman ? is counsel perished 
from the prudent ? is their wisdom n vanished ? 

8 Flee ye, turn back, ° dwell deep, O inhabitants 
of Dedan ; for I will bring r the calamity of Esau 
upon him, the time that I will visit him. 

9 If q grape-gatherers come to thee, would the)' 
not leave some gleaning-grapes ? if thieves by night, 
they will destroy till they have enough. 

10 But I have made Esau r bare, I have uncover- 
ed his s secret places, and he shall not be able to hide 
himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his 
neighbours, and l he is not. 

1 1 Leave thy fatherless children, I will u preserve 
thevi alive ; and let thy widows * trust in me. 

12 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, they whose 
iudement * was not to drink of the cup have assuredly

The judgment of Edom; 

drunken ; and art thou he that shall altogether go un- 
punished ? thou shalt not go z unpunished, hut thou 
shalt surely drink of it. 

1 3 For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, 
that Bozrah shall become a a desolation, a reproach, 
a waste, and a curse ; and all the cities thereof shall 
be perpetual wastes. 

1 4 I have b heard a rumour from the Lord, and an 
c ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather 
ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the 
battle. 

1 5 For, lo, I d will make thee small among the 
heathen, and despised among men. 

1 6 Thy e terribleness hath deceived thee, and the 
f pride of thy heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts 
of the rock, that boldest the height of the hill : though 
thou shouldest make thy s nest as high as the eagle, I 
will bring thee clown from thence, saith the Lord. 

1 7 Also Edom shall be a desolation ; every one 
that goeth by it shall h be astonished, and shall hiss at 
all the plagues thereof. 

18 As in the overthrow of " Sodom and Gomorrah, 
and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord, no 
man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man 
dwell in it. 

1 9 Behold, k he shall come up like a lion from the 
1 swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the 
strong : but I will m suddenly make him run away 
from her ; and who is n a chosen man, that I may ap- 
point over her ? for who is like me ? and who will 
appoint me the time ? who is that shepherd that will 
stand before me ? 

20 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he 
hath taken against Edom ; and his purposes, that he 
hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman : 
Surely the p least of the flock shall draw them out ; 
surely he shall make their habitations desolate with 
them. 

21 The earth is q moved at the noise of their fall ; 
at the cry, the noise thereof was heard in the r Red Sea. 

22 Behold, he shall come up s and fly as the eagle, 
and spread his wings over Bozrah : and at that day 
shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the 
heart of a woman in her pangs. 

23 IT Concerning Damascus. Hamath is con- 
founded, and Arpad ; for they have heard evil tidings ; 
they are faint-hearted : there is sorrow on the sea ; it 
cannot be f quiet. 

24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself 
to flee, and fear hath seized on her : anguish and sor- 
rows have taken her, u as a woman in travail. 

25 How is the * city of praise y not left, the city of 
my joy! 

26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, 
and all the z men of war shall be cut off in that day, 
saith the Lord of hosts. 

27" And I will a kindle a fire in the wall of Da- 
mascus, and it shall consume the palaces of b Ben- 
hadad. 

28 IT Concerning c Kedar, and concerning the king- 
doms of d Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Ba- 
bylon shall smite, thus saith the Lord ; Arise ye, go 
up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the e east. 

29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take 
away : they shall take to themselves their f curtains, 
and all their vesseis, and their 6 camels ; and they 
shall cry unto them, h Fear is on every side. 

30 IF Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inha- 



JEREMIAH. Damascus, Kedar, ?-c. 

bitants of Hazor, saith the Lord ; for Nebuchadrez- 
zar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, 
and hath conceived a purpose against you. 

31 Arise, get you up unto ■ the wealthy nation, that 
dwelleth k without care, saith the Lord, which have 
neither gates nor bars, which ' dwell alone. 

32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the 
m multitude of their cattle a spoil ; and I will scatter m Isa - & 
into n all winds them that are in the utmost corners ; » Ezek. 5,

35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will 
break the s bow of Elam, the chief of their might. 

36 And upon Elam will I bring the l four winds 
from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them 
toward all those winds ; and there shall be no nation 
whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. 

37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before 
their enemies, and before them that seek their life ; 
and I will bring evil upon them, even my u fierce an- 
ger, saith the Lord ; and I will send x the sword after x ch. 48, 2> 
them, till 1 have consumed them : 

38 And I will set y my throne in Elam, and will 
destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the 
Lord. 

39 But it shall come to pass in the z latter days, 
that I will a bring again the captivity of Elam, saith 
the Lord. 

CHAP. L. 

The judgment of Babylon, and the redemption of Israel. 
HE word that the Lord spake against a Baby- 
lon, and against the land of the Chaldeans, by 
Jeremiah the prophet. 

2 b Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and 
set up a standard ; publish, and conceal not : say, Rev. 14, & 
Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is 
broken in pieces ; c her idols are confounded, her 
images are broken in pieces. 

3 For out of the north there cometh up d a nation disa.i3,i7: 
against her, which shall make her land desolate, and 

none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they 
shall depart, e both man and beast. 

4 f In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, 
the g children of Israel shall come, they and the chil- 
dren of Judah together, going and h weeping : they 
shall go, and seek the Lord their God. 

5 They shall " ask the way to Zion, with their 1 ch. 6, 16. 
faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join our- 
selves to the Lord "in a peipetual covenant that kch. 31,3a 
shall not be forgotten. 

6 My people hath been ' lost sheep ; their m shep- 
herds have caused them to go astray, they have turned 
them away on the mountains : they have gone from 
mountain to hill, they have forgotten their " resting- 
place. 

7 All that found them have ° devoured them ; and o Ps. 1 
their adversaries said, We p offend not, because they 
have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of jus- 
tice ; even the Lord, q the hope of their fathers. 

8 r Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go 
forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the Rev. is, 4, 
he-goats before the flocks.

Tlie ji/agment of Babylon., CHAP. L. 

9 For, lo, I will raise, and cause to come up against 
Babylon, an assembly of s great nations from the 
north country : and they shall set themselves in array 
against her ; from thence she shall be taken : their 
arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man ; none 
shall return l in vain. 

10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil 
her shall be u satisfied, saith the Lord. 

1 1 Because ye were x glad, because ye rejoiced, 
y O ye destroyers of my z heritage ; because ye are 
a grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls ; 

12 Your b mother shall be sore confounded; she 
that bare you shall be ashamed : behold, the c hinder- 
most of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, 
and a desert. 

1 3 Because of the d wrath of the Lord it shall not 
be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate : every 
one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and 
c hiss at ail her plagues. 

14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round 
about : all ye that bend the bow shoot at her, f spare 
no arrows ; for she hath s sinned against the Lord. 

1 5 Shout against her round about ; she hath given 
her hand : h her foundations are fallen, her walls are 
thrown down ; for it is the ' vengeance of the Lord : 
take vengeance upon her ; k as she hath done, do unto 
her. 

1 6 Cut off the ' sower from Babylon, and him that 
handleth the m sickle in the time of harvest : for fear 
of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to 
his people, and they shall flee every one to his own 
land. 

17 Israel is n a scattered sheep, the lions have 
driven him away : first the ° king of Assyria hath 
devoured him, and last this p Nebuchadrezzar king of 
Babylon hath broken his bones. 

18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Israel, Behold, I will q punish the king of 
Babylon and his land, r as I have punished the king 
of Assyria. 

1 9 And I will 9 bring Israel again to his habitation, 
and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his 
soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraimancl Gilead. 

20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, 
the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there 
shall be none ; and the sins of Judah, and they shall 
1 not be found : for I will u pardon them whom I 
reserve. 

21 Go up against the land of || Merathaim, even 
against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod : 
waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, 
and x do according to all that I have commanded thee. 

22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great 
y destruction. 

23 How is the z hammer of the whole earth cut 
asunder and broken ! a how is Babylon become a 
desolation among the nations ! 

24 b I have laid a c snare for thee, and thou art 
also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware : 
thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast 
striven against the Lord. 

25 The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath 
d brought forth the weapons of his indignation : for 
this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the land 
of the Chaldeans.

30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, 
and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, 
saith the Lord. 

31 Behold, I am against thee, t O thou most proud, 
saith the Lord God of hosts : for thy day is come, 
the time that I will visit thee. 

32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and 
n none shall raise him up : and I will ° kindle a fire in 
his cities, and it shall devour all round about him. 

33 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, The children of 
Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed p to- 
gether; and all that took them captives held them 
fast ; they q refused to let them go. 

34 Their Redeemer r is strong ; The Lord of hosts 
is his name ; he shall thoroughly plead their cause, 
that he may give s rest to the land, and l disquiet the sisa.60, is 
inhabitants of Babylon. 

35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, 
and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her 
princes, and upon her wise men. 

36 A sword is upon the t liars ; and they shall 
dote : a sword is upon her mighty men ; and they 
shall be dismayed. 

37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their 
chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in 
the midst of her ; and they shall become u as women : 
a sword is upon her treasures ; and they shall be 
robbed. 

38 x A drought is upon her waters ; and they shall xch.51,35, 
be dried up : for it is the land of graven images, and ^ 6 ey 
they are y mad upon their idols. y Dan 3 { 

39 Therefore z the wild beasts of the desert, with Rev. 13,14. 
the wild beasts of the islands, shall dwell there, and ^^'n* 1 ' 
the owls shall dwell therein : and it shall be no more Rev. 18, 2. 
inhabited for ever ; neither shall it be dwelt in from 
generation to generation. 

40 As God overthrew a Sodom and Gomorrah, and ach. 49. is. 
the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord ; so shall 2 Pet - 2 - 6 - 
no man abide there, neither shall any son of man 
dwell therein. 

41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, 
and a great nation, and many b kings shall be raised bch. 27, 14. 
up from the coasts of the earth. 

42 They shall hold the bow and the lance ; they

4.3 The king of Babylon hath d heard the report of

that he hath purposed against the land of the Chal

CHAP. LI. 

The judgment of God against Babylon in revenge of Israel. 

HUS saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up 

against Babylon, and against them that dwell 

in the midst of them that rise up a against me, b a 

destroying wind ; 

2 And will send unto Babylon c fanners, that shall 
fan her, and shall d empty her land : for in the day of 
trouble they shall be against her round about. 

3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his 
bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his 
brigandine : and e spare ye not her young men ; de- 
stroy ye utterly all her host. 

4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chal- 
deans, and they that are thrust through in her streets. 

5 For Israel hath not been || forsaken, nor Judah of 
his God, of the Lord of hosts ; though their land 
was f filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. 

6 s Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver 
every man h his soul ; be not cut off in her iniquity : 
for this is the ' time of the Lord's vengeance ; he will 
render unto her a recompense. 

7 Babylon hath been k a golden cup in the Lord's 
hand, that ' made all the earth drunken : the nations 
have drunken of her wine ; therefore the nations are 
mad. 

8 Babylon is m suddenly fallen and destroyed : 
n howl for her ; take balm for her pain, if so be she 
may be healed. 

9 ° We would have healed Babylon, but she p is not 
healed : forsake her, and q let us go every one into his 
own country ; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, 
and is lifted up even to the skies. 

10 The Lord hath r brought forth our righteous- 
ness : come, and let us s declare in Zion the work of 
the Lord our God. 

1 1 Make bright the arrows, gather the shields : 
tEwai, l. the Lord hath l raised up the spirit of the kings of 

the Medes : for his device is against Babylon, to 
ucii. 50,28. destroy it ; because it is the " vengeance of the Lord, 
the vengeance of his temple. 

1 2 Set up the x standard upon the walls of Ba- 
bylon, make the watch strong ; set up the watchmen, 
prepare the ambushes : for the Lord hath both de- 
vised and done that which he spake against the inha- 
bitants of Babylon. 

] 3 O thou that dwellest upon many y waters, 
abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the 
1 measure of thy covetousness. 

14 The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, say- 
ing, Surely I will fill thee with men as with a cater- 
pillars ; and they shall b lift up a shout against thee. 

1 5 He hath c made the eartli by his power, he hath 
established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretch- 
ed out the heaven by his understanding.

Babylon, in revenge of Israel. 

maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the 
wind out of his treasures. 

1 7 Every man is e brutish by his knowledge ; every 
founder is confounded by the graven image : for his 
molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in 
them. 

1 8 They are vanity, the work of errors : in the 
time of their f visitation they shall perish. 

19 s The Portion of Jacob is h not like them ; for 
he is the former of all things ; and Israel is the rod of 
his inheritance ; The Lord of hosts is his name. 

20 Thou art my ' battle-axe and weapons of war : 
for with thee will I break in pieces the nations ; and 
with thee will I destroy kingdoms ; 

21 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse 
and his rider ; and with thee will I break in pieces the 
k chariot and his rider ; 

22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and 
woman ; and with thee will I break in pieces ' old and 
young ; and with thee will I break in pieces the young 
man and the maid ; 

23 I will also break in pieces with thee m the shep- 
herd and his flock ; and with thee will I break in pieces 
the husbandman and his yoke of oxen ; and with thee 
will I break in pieces captains and rulers. 

24 And I will render unto Babylon, and to all the 
inhabitants of Chaldea, all their evil that they have 
done n in Zion in your sight, saith the Lord. 

25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying ° moun- 
tain, saith the Lord, which p destroyest all the earth ; 
and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll 
thee down from the q rocks, and will make thee r a 
burnt mountain. 

26 And they shall not take of thee a s stone for a 
corner, nor a stone for foundations ; but thou shalt be 
desolate for ever, saith the Lord. 

27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trum- 
pet among the nations, * prepare the nations against 
her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, 
Minni, and Ashchenaz ; appoint a captain against her ; 
cause her horses to come up as the rough caterpillars. 

28 Prepare against her the nations, with the kings 
of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers 
thereof, and all the land of his dominion. 

29 And the u land shall tremble and sorrow : for 
K every purpose of the Lord shall be performed against 
Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation 
without an inhabitant. 

30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to 
fight, they have remained in their y holds : their z might 
hath failed ; they became as women : they have burnt 
their dwelling-places ; her a bars are broken. 

31 b One post shall run to meet another, and one 
messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Baby- 
lon that his city is taken at one end, 

32 And that the passages are stopped, and the c rceds 
they have burnt with fire, and the d men of war are 
affrighted. 

33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, The daughter of Babylon is like e a threshing- 
floor, it is time f to thresh her : yet a little while, and 
the time of her s harvest shall come. 

34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath h de- 
voured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an 
empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like ' a dragon,

shall fall in the midst of her. 

48 Then the e heaven and the earth, and all that 
is therein, shall sing for Babylon : for the spoilers shall

49 As Babylon f hath caused the slain of Israel to

1 Zedekiah rebelleth. 4 Jerusalem is besieged and taken. 
EDEKIAH was a one and twenty years olcl when 
he began to reign ; and he reigned eleven years 
in Jerusalem : and his mother's name was Hamutal, 
the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 

2 And he did that which was evil b in the eyes of the 
Lord, c according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 

3 For d through the anger of the Lord it came to 
pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them c 2 Kings 
out from his e presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against dPs^! n 
the king of Babylon. 

4 And it came to pass, in the r ninth year of his reign, 
in the s tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, 
that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and 2 
all his ai-my, against Jerusalem, and pitched against gZec.'s.io. 
it, and built forts against it round about. 

5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year 
of king Zedekiah. 

6 And in the h fourth month, in the ninth day of the 
month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there 
was ' no bread for the people of the land. i p sa i. 107, 

7 Then k the city was broken up, and all the men ^ 1 v ' i) ! '.' ! , j () 
of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night, kp&W.a. 
by the way of ' the gate between the two walls, which {*■ :W - 2 - :i - 
teas by the king's garden ; (now the Chaldeans were c '' 49, 4 * 
by the city round about ;) and they went by the way 

of the plain. 

8 hut the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the 

king, and m overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho ; mPs.so 21 
and all his army was scattered from him. 22 

9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto ^X %lte 
the king of Babylon to Riblah, in the land of Hamath ; with him 
where he t gave judgment upon him. ch^Tia?'*

into Jerusalem, 

13 And * burnt the u house of the Lord, and the 
king's house ; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and 
all the houses of the great men, burnt he with fire. 

14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were 
with the captain of the guard, x brake down all the 
walls of Jerusalem round about. 

15 Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard 
carried away captive certain of the y poor of the people, 
and the residue of the people that remained in the city, 
and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Baby- 
lon, and the rest of the multitude. 

16 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left 
certain of the poor of the land, for vine-dressers and 
for husbandmen. 

1 7 Also the z pillars of brass that were in the house 
of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that 
was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans brake, 
and carried all the brass of them to Babylon. 

1 8 The a caldrons also, and the shovels, and the 
snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the 
vessels of brass, wherewith they ministered, took they 
away. 

1 9 And the basons, and the fire-pans, and the bowls, 
and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons r 
and the b cups ; that which was of gold in gold, and 
that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of 
the guard away. 

20 The c two pillars, one sea, and twelve brazen 
bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon 
had made in the house of the Lord : the brass of all 
these vessels was ') without weight. 

21 And concerning the e pillars, the height of one 
pillar was eighteen cubits, and f a fillet of twelve cu- 
bits did compass it ; and the thickness thereof was 
four fingers : it was hollow. 

22 And a chapiter of brass was upon it ; and the 
height of one chapiter was s five cubits, with net-work 
and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all 



of brass : the second pillar also and the pomegranates 
were like unto these. 

23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates 
on a side ; arid all the pomegranates upon the net- 
work were a hundred round about. 

24 And the h captain of the guard took Seraiah 
the chief priest, and ' Zephaniah the k second priest, 
and the three keepers of the door : 

25 He took also out of the city a eunuch which 
had the charge of the men of war ; and ' seven men 
of them that t were near the king's person, which 
were found in the city ; and the principal scribe of the 
host, who mustered the people of the land ; and three- 
score men of the people of the land, that were found 
in the midst of the city. 

26 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took 
them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to 
Riblah. 

27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put 
them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath. Thus 
Judah was carried away captive out of his own land. 

28 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar car- 
ried away captive : In the m seventh year, three thou- 
sand Jews and three and twenty : 

29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he 
carried away captive n from Jerusalem eight hundred 
thirty and two t persons : 

30 In the ° three and twentieth year of Nebuchad- 
rezzar, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard car- 
ried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty 
and five persons : all the persons were four thousand 
and six hundred. 

31 IT And it came to pass, in the seven and thirtieth 
year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in 
the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the 
month, that p Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the 
first year of his reign, q lifted up the head of Jehoiachin 
king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison, 

32 And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne 
above the throne of the kings that were with him in 
Babylon, 

33 And r changed his prison-garments ; and he did 
continually s eat bread before him all the days of his 
life. 

34 And for his diet, there was a continual diet 
given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion, 
until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

CHAP. I. 

The miserable estate of Jerusalem by reason of her sin. 
[OW doth the a city sit solitary that was full of 
people ! how is she become as a widow ! she 
that was great among the nations, and b princess 
among the provinces, how is she become c tributary ! 

2 She d weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are 
on her cheeks ; among e all her lovers she hath none 
to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treache- 
rously with her ; they are become her enemies. 

3 Judah f is gone into captivity, because of afflic- 
tion, and because of great servitude ; she g dwelleth 
among the heathen, she findeth no rest : all her perse- 
cutors overtook her between the h straits. 

4 i The ways of Zion do mourn, because none 
come to the solemn feasts : all her gates are desolate ; 



k her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is k <*■ 4, is. 
in bitterness. 

5 Her adversaries are the ' chief, her enemies pros- l Deut. 28, 
per ; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the m multi- ]^ Jer 30> 
tude of her transgressions : her children are gone into 14. 
captivity before the enemy. Dan ' 9 ' 7 ' 8 

6 And from the daughter of Zion n all her beauty nJer.52,13. 
is departed : her princes are become like harts that 

find ° no pasture ; and they are gone without strength o Amos 8, 
before the pursuer. 

7 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her afflic- 
tion, and of her miseries, all her p pleasant things that p ch. 2, 4. 
she had in the days of old, when her people fell into q Lev. 26,

1 2 Is it nothing to you, all ye that c pass by ? be- 
hold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sor- 
row, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord 
hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. 

1 3 From d above hath he sent fire into my bones, 
and it prevaileth against them : he hath spread e a net 
for my feet ; he hath turned me back ; he hath made 
me desolate and faint all the day. 

1 4 The f yoke of my transgressions is bound by his 
hand ; they are s wreathed, and come up upon my 
neck ; he hath made my strength to fall ; the Lord 
hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am 
not able to rise up. 

15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my 
h mighty men in the midst of me ; he hath called an 
assembly against me to ' crush my young men : the 
Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, 
as k in a wine-press. 

16 For these things I weep : ' mine eye, mine eye 
runneth down with water, because the m comforter 
that should relieve my soul is far from me : my chil- 
dren are desolate, because the enemy u prevailed. 

1 7 Zion ° spreadeth forth her hands, and there is 
none to comfort her : the Lord hath commanded con- 
cerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round 
about him : Jerusalem is p as a menstruous woman 
among them. 

1 8 The Lord q is righteous ; for 
against his r commandment : hear, 
people, and behold my sorrow ; my 
young men are gone into captivity. 

1 9 I called for my lovers, but they * deceived me ; 
my u priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the 
city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls. 

20 Behold, O Lord, for I am in distress ; my bowels 
are x troubled : my heart is turned within me ; for ] 
have grievously rebelled : y abroad the sword bereav- 
eth, at home there is as death. 

21 They have heard that I sigh ; there is none to 
comfort me : all mine enemies have heard of my trou- 
ble ; they z are glad that thou hast done it : thou wilt 
bring a the day that thou hast called, and they shall 
be b like unto me. 

22 c Let all their wickedness come before thee ; 
and do unto them as thou hast done unto me for all 
my transgressions : for my sighs are many, and my 
heart is faint. 

CHAP. II. 

Jeremiah lamenteth the misery of Jerusalem. 

HOW hath the Lord a covered the daughter of 
Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down 
from heaven unto the earth the b beauty of Israel, 



I have rebelled 
I pray you, all 
8 virgins and my 



and remembered not his 
i 



footstool in the day of his 
anger ' 

2 The Lord hath d swallowed up all the habita- 
tions of Jacob, and hatli not pitied : he hath thrown 
down in his wrath the e strong holds of the daughter 
of Judah ; he hath brought them down to the ground : 
he hath f polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof. 

3 He hath cut off in his g fierce anger all the horn 
of Israel : he hath h drawn back his right hand from 
before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a 
flaming fire, which devoureth round about. 

4 He hath bent his bow like ' an enemy : k he stood 
with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that 
were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the 
daughter of Zion : ' he poured out his fury like fire. 

5 The Lord was m as an enemy ; he hath n swal- 
lowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her pala- 
ces ; he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath 
increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and 
lamentation. 

6 And he hath violently ° taken away his taberna- 
cle, as if it were of a garden ; he hath destroyed his 
places of the assembly : the Lord hath caused the 
solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, 
and hath despised, in the indignation of his anger, the 
p king and the priest. 

7 The Lord hath cast off his q altar, he hath ab- 
horred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand 
of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have 
made r a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day 
of a solemn feast. 

8 The Lord hath purposed to destroy the 8 wall of 
the daughter of Zion ; he hath stretched out * a line, 
he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: 
therefore he made the rampart and the wall to la- 
ment ; they languished together. 

9 Her gates are sunk into the ground ; he hath de- 
stroyed and broken her bars ; u her king and her 
princes are among the Gentiles : x the law is no more; 
her y prophets also find no vision from the Lord. 

10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the 
z ground, and keep silence : they have cast up dust 
upon their heads ; they have girded themselves with 
sackcloth : the virgins of Jerusalem a hang down their 
heads to the ground. 

1 1 b Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are trou- 
bled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruc- 
tion of the daughter of my people ; because the chil- 
dren and the suckling c swoon in the streets of the city. 

12 They say to their mothers, Where is d corn and 
wine ? when they swooned as the wounded in the 
streets of the city, when their soul was poured out 
into their mothers' bosom. 

13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee ? 
what thing shall 1 liken to thee, O daughter of Jeru- 
salem ? what shall I e equal to thee, that I may com- 
fort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion ? for thy breach 
is great like f the sea ; E who can heal thee ? 

14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things 
for thee ; and they have h not discovered thine iniquity, 
to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee 
false burdens, and causes of banishment. 

1 5 All that pass by ' clap their hands at thee ; they 
hiss and wag their head at the daughterof Jerusalem, 
saying, Is this the city that men call The k perfection 
of beauty, The joy of the whole earth ? 

1G All thine enemies have Opened their mouth 
against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say

Jeremiah's complaint to God : 

We have ' swallowed he? up : certainly this is the 
day that we looked for ; we have found, we have 
m seen it. 

17 The Lord hath done that which he had n de- 
vised ; he hath fulfilled his word that he had com- 
manded in the days of old : he hath thrown down, 
and hath not pitied : and he hath caused thine enemy 

to rejoice over thee ; he hath set up the horn of thine 
adversaries. 

18 Their heart p cried unto the Lord, q O wall of 
the daughter of Zion, let r tears run down like a river 
day and night ; give thyself no rest ; let not the apple 
of thine eye cease. 

1 9 Arise, cry out in the s night ; in the beginning 
of the watches pour out thy heart like water before 
the face of the Lord : lift up thy hands toward him 
for the life of thy l young children, that faint for hun- 
ger in the top of every street. 

20 Behold, O Lord, and u consider to whom thou 
hast done this. Shall the women x eat their fruit, 
and children of a span long ? shall the priest and the 
prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord ? 

21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the 
streets : my virgins and my young men are fallen by 
the sword ; thou hast slain them in the day of thine 
anger ; thou hast y killed, and not pitied. 

22 Thou hast called, ''■ as in a solemn day, a my 
terrors round about ; so that in the day of the Lord's 

j Ps g 1 ^ 3 ' anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have 
b Hosea 9, swaddled and brought up hath mine b enemy con- 
sumed.

1 The prophet bewaileth his own calamities : 37 His humble

1AM the man that hath a seen affliction by the b rod 
of his wrath. 

2 He hath led me, and brought me into c darkness, 
but not into light. 

3 Surely against me is he turned ; he turneth his 
hand against me all the day. 

4 My flesh and my skin hath he made old ; he hath 
d isa. 38, 13. <i broken my bones. 

eJobl'i', 12! 5 He hath e builded against me, and compassed 
me with gall and travail. 

6 He hath set me in dark places, as they that be

7 He hath g hedged me about, that I cannot get 
out : he hath made my chain heavy. 

8 Also when I cry and shout, h he shutteth out my 
prayer. 

9 He hath ' enclosed my ways with hewn stone ; he 
hath made my paths k crooked. 

10 He was unto me as a ' bear lying in wait, and 
as a lion in secret places. 

1 1 He hath turned aside my ways, and m pulled 
me in pieces : he hath made me desolate. 

1 2 He hath bent his bow T , and set me as n a mark

1 3 He hath caused the ° arrows of his quiver to

53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and 
cast k a stone upon me. 

54 l Waters flowed over my head ; then I said, I 
am cut off. 

55 I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the 
m low dungeon. 

56 Thou n hast heard my voice ; hide not thine ear 
at my breathing, at my cry. 

57 Thou ° drewest near in the day that I called 
upon thee : thou saidst, Fear not. 

58 O Lord, thou hast p pleaded the causes of my 
soul ; thou hast redeemed my life. 

59 O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong ; judge thou 
my q cause. 

60 Thou hast seen all their r vengeance, and all 
their imaginations against me. 

61 Thou hast heard their s reproach, O Lord, and 
all their imaginations against me ; 

62 The Mips of those that rose up against me, and 
their device against me all the day. 

63 Behold their u sitting down, and their rising up ; 
I am their music.

1 Zion , s pitiful estate bewailed : 13 She confesseth her sins. 

HOW is the gold become dim ! how is the most 
fine gold changed ! the stones of the sanctuary 
are a poured out in the top of every street. 

2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine 
gold, how are they esteemed b as earthen pitchers, 
the work of the hands of the potter ! 

3 Even the sea-monsters draw out the breast, they 
give suck to their c young ones : the daughter of my 
people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wil- 
derness. 

4 The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the 
roof of his mouth for thirst ; the young children d ask 
bread, and no man breaketh it unto them. 

5 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the 
streets ; they that were brought up in scarlet embrace 
e dunghills. 

6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daugh- 
ter of my people is greater f than the punishment of 
the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a mo 
ment, and no hands stayed on her. 

7 Her g Nazarites were purer than snow, they 
were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body 
than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire : 

8 Their visage is h blacker than a coal ; they are 
not known in the streets : their skin cleaveth to their 
bones ; it is withered, it is become like a stick. 

9 They that be slain with the sword are better than 
thexj that be. slain with hunger : for these ' pine away, 
k stricken through for want of the fruits of the field. 

10 The hands of the ' pitiful women have m sodden 
their own children, they were their meat in the de- 
struction of the daughter of my people. 

11 The Lord hath accomplished his fury; he hath 
J 1 poured out his fierce anger, and hath "kindled a fire 
in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof. 

12 The kings of the earth, and all tliu inhabitants 
of the world, would not have believed that the adver-

CHAP. T. 

1 The time of EzekieVs prophecy at Chebar : 4 His vision. 
OW it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the 
fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as 
I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, 
that the a heavens were opened, and I saw b visions of 
God. 

2 In the fifth day of the month, (which was the fifth 
year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,) 

3 The word of the Lord c came expressly unto 
Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the 
d Chaldeans, by the river Chebar; and the e hand of the 
Lord was there upon him. 

4 And I f looked, and, behold, s a whirlwind came 
out of h the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding 
itself, and a ! brightness was about it, and out of the 
midst thereof, as the colour of amber, out of the midst 
of the fire : 

5 Also out of the k midst thereof came the likeness 
of l four living creatures. And this was their appear- 
ance ; they had the likeness of a man. 

6 And every one had four faces, and every one had 
four m wings. 

7 And their feet were n straight feet ; and the sole 
of their feet was like the sole of a " calf's foot ; and 
they sparkled like the colour of p burnished brass. 

8 And they had the q hands of a man r under their 
wings, on their four sides ; and they four had their 
faces and their wings. 

9 Their wings were 'joined one to another ; they 
1 turned not. when they went ; they went every one 
u straight forward. 

1 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had 
the face of x a man, and the face of y a lion on the 
right side ; and they four had the face of an z ox on the 
left side ; they four also had the face of a an eagle. 

1 1 Thus were their faces : and their wings were 
stretched upward ; two wings of every one were joined 
one to another, and two covered their bodies. 

12 And they went every one straight forward : 
whither the b spirit was to go, they went ; and they 
turned not when they went. 

1 3 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their 
appearance was like c burning coals of fire, and like 
the appearance of lamps : u it went up and down among 
the living creatures ; and the fire was bright, and out 
of the fire went forth lightning. 

1 4 And the living creatures e ran and f returned as 
the appearance of a flash of lightning. 

1 5 Now, as I beheld the living creatures, behold, 
g one wheel upon the b earth by the living creatures, 
with his four faces. 

16 The appearance ' of the wheels and their work 
was like unto the colour of a beryl ; and they four had 
one likeness : and their appearance and their work 
was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 

1 7 When they went, they went upon their four sides ; 
a?id they returned not when they went. 



1 8 As for their rings, they were so k high, that they 
were dreadful ; and their rings were ' full of eyes round 
about them four. 

19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels 
went m by them ; and when the living creatures were 
lifted up from the earth, the n wheels were lifted up. 

20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, 
thither was their spirit to go ; and the wheels were 
lifted up over against them : for the spirit of the living 
creature ° was in the wheels. 

21 When those went, these went; and when those 
stood, these stood ; and when those were lifted up from 
the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them : 
for p the spirit of the living creature ivas in the wheels. 

22 And the likeness of the q firmament upon the 
heads of the living creature was as the colour of 
r the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads 
above. 

23 And under the firmament were their wings 
straight, the one toward the other : eveiy one had two, 
which s covered on this side, and every one had two, 
which covered on that side, their bodies. 

24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their 
wings, like the noise of 4 great waters, as the voice of 
u the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of a 
host : when they stood, they let down their wings. 

25 And there was x a voice from the firmament that 
was over their heads, when they y stood, and had let 
down their wings. 

26 And above the firmament that was over their 
heads was the likeness of a z throne, as the appearance 
of a sapphire-stone : and upon the likeness of the throne 
was the likeness as the appearance of a man above 
a upon it. 

27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appear- 
ance of b fire round about within it ; from the appear- 
ance of his loins even upward, and from the appear- 
ance of his loins even downward, I saw it as it were 
the appearance of fire, and it had c brightness round 
about. 

28 As the appearance of the J bow that is in the 
cloud in the day of e rain, so teas the appearance of 
the brightness round about. This was the appearance 
of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when 
I saw it, f I fell upon my face, and I g heard a voice 
of one that spake.

I do send thee unto them ; and thou shalt say unto 
them, Thus saith the Lord God. 

5 And they, ' whether they will hear, or whether 
they will forhear ; (for they are a rebellious house,) 
yet k shall know that there hath been a prophet among 
them. 

6 And thou, son of man, ' be not afraid of them, 
neither be afraid of their words, though m briers and 
thorns be, with thee, and thou dost dwell among scor- 
pions : be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed 
at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 

7 And thou shalt speak n my words unto them, 
whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear ; 
for they are ° most rebellious. 

8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee ; 
Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house : open 
thy mouth, p and eat that I give thee. 

9 And when 1 looked, behold, a hand was sent 
unto me ; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein ; 

10 And q he spread it before me : and it was written 
within- and without ; and there was written therein 
r lamentations, and mourning, and wo. 

CHAP. III. 

1 Ezekiel eateth the roll. 4 God encourageth him. 

MOREOVER, he said unto me, Son of man, eat 
that thou findest : a eat this b roll, and go speak 
unto the house of Israel. 

2 So I c opened my mouth, and he d caused me to 
eat that roll. 

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause e thy 
belly to eat, and f fill thy bowels with this roll that I 
give thee. Then did I E eat it ; and it. was in my 
mouth h as honey for sweetness. 

4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee 
unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto 
them. 

5 For thou art not sent to a people of ' a strange 
speech, and of a hard language, but to the house of 
Israel : 

6 Not to many people of a strange speech, and of 
a hard language, whose words thou canst not under- 
stand : surely, had I sent thee to them, k they would 
have hearkened unto thee. 

7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto 
thee ; for they will not hearken ! unto me : for all the 
house of Israel are m impudent and hard-hearted. 

8 Behold, I have made thy n face strong against then- 
faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. 

9 As an adamant, ° harder than flint, have I made 
thy forehead : fear them not, neither be dismayed at 
their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 

10 Moreover, he said unto me, Son of man, p all 
my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in q thy 
heart, and hear with thine ears. 

1 1 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto 
r thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, 
Thus saith the Lord God, ■ whether they will hear, or 
whether they will forbear. 

12 Then the ' spirit took me up, and I heard behind 
me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the 
u glory of the Lord from x his place. 

13 I heard also the noise of the wings of the living 
creatures that touched one another, and the noise of 
the wheels over against them, and a noise of a y great 
rushing. 

14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, 
and I went z in bitterness, a in the heat of my spirit ; 
but the b hand of the Lord was strong upon me. 

3 R 



15 IF Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel- 
abib, that dwelt by c the river of Chebar, and I sat 
where they sat, and remained there d astonished among 
them e seven da3'S. 

1 6 And it came to pass, f at the end of seven days, 
that " the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

1 7 Son of man, h I have made thee ' a watchman 
unto the house of Israel : therefore hear the word k at 
my mouth, and give them ' warning m from me. 

1 8 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely 
die ; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest 
to warn the wicked from his wicked way, n to save 
his life ; the same wicked man shall ° die in his ini- 
quity : but his p blood will I require at thy hand. 

1 9 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not 
from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall 
die in his iniquity : but thou hast delivered q thy soul. 

20 Again, when r a righteous man doth turn from 
his s righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay * a 
stumbling-block before him, he shall die : because 
thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his 
sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall 
not be remembered ; but his blood will I require at 
u thy hand. 

21 Nevertheless, if thou warn the righteous man, 
that the righteous x sin not, and he doth not sin, he 
shall surely y live, because he is warned : also thou 
hast delivered thy soul. 

22 IT And the * hand of the Lord was there upon 
me ; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the 
plain, and I will a there talk with thee. 

23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain ; 
and, behold, the b glory of the Lord stood there, as 
the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar : and I 
c fell on my face. 

24 Then the d spirit entered into me, and set me 
upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, 
Go, shut thyself within thy house. 

25 But thou, O son of man, behold, e they shall put 
bands upon thee, and shall r bind thee with them, and 
thou shalt not go out among them : 

26 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof 
of thy mouth, that thou shalt g be dumb, and shalt not 
be to them '' a reprover ; for they are a rebellious house. 

27 But when I speak with thee, I will ' open thy 
mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord God, He that k heareth, let him hear ; and he 
that ' forbeareth, let him forbear : for they are a re- 
bellious house. 

CHAP. IV. 

By the provision of the siege is shewed the hard/iess of the 
famine. 

THOU also, son of man, take thee a a tile, and lay 
it before thee, and b pourtray upon it the city, 
even c Jerusalem : 

2 And d lay siege against it, and build a fort against 
it, and cast a mount against it ; set the camp also 
against it, and set battering-rams against it round 
about. 

3 Moreover, take thou unto thee an iron pan, and 
set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city ; 
e and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, 
and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be ' a 
sign to the house of Israel. 

4 Lie thou also upon thy E left side, and h lay the 
iniquity of the house of Israel upon it : according to 
the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou 
shalt bear their iniquity.

5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their ini- 
quity, according to the number of the days, || three 
hundred and ninety days : so shalt thou bear the ini- 
quity of the house of Israel. 

6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie 
again on ' thy right skle, and thou shalt bear the ini- 
quity of the house of Judah k forty days : I have ap- 
pointed thee each day for a year. 

7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege 
of Jerusalem, ' and thine arm shall be uncovered, and 
thou shalt prophesy against it. 

8 And, behold, I will lay m bands upon thee, and 
thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till 
thou hast ended the days of thy siege. 

9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and 
beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put 
them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, ac- 
cording to the number of the days that thou shalt lie 
upon thy side ; three hundred and ninety days shalt 
thou eat thereof. 

10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by 
weight, n twenty shekels a-day : from time to time 
shalt thou eat it. 

1 1 Thou shalt drink also ° water by measure, the 
p sixth part of a hin : from time to time shalt thou drink. 

12 And thou shalt eat it as barley-cakes, and thou 
shalt bake it with q dung that cometh out of man, in 
their sight. 

13 And the Lord said, Even thus shall ' the chil- 
dren of Israel eat their s defiled bread among the 
Gentiles, whither I will drive them. 

1 4 Then said I, Ah Lord God ! behold, l my soul 
hath not been polluted; for from my youth up, even 
till now, have 1 not eaten of that which dieth ot itself, 
or is torn in pieces ; neither came there abominable 
flesh into my mouth. 

15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee 
u cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare 
thy bread therewith. 

1 6 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, 
I will break x the staff of bread in Jerusalem ; and 
they shall eat bread by weight, and with care ; and 
they shall drink water by measure, and with asto- 
nishment : 

1 7 That they may y want bread and water, and be 
astonished one with another, and z consume away for 
their iniquity. 

CHAP. V. 

The judgment of Jerusalem for their rebellion. 

AND thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, 
take thee a barber's a razor, and cause it to pass 
upon thy head, and upon thy beard ; then take thee 
balances to b weigh, and divide the hair. 

2 Thou shalt c burn with fire a third part in the 
midst of the city, when the days of the siege are ful- 
filled ; and thou shalt take a third part, and smite 
about it with a knife; and a third part thou shalt 
d scatter in the wind : and I will draw out a sword 
after them. 

3 Thou shalt also take thereof e a few in number, 
and bind them in thy skirts. 

4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the 
midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire ; for thereof 
shall f a fire come forth into all the house of Israel. 

5 Thus saith the Lord God, This is g Jerusalem : I 
h have set it in the midst of the nations and countries 
that are round about her. 

6 And she hath ' changed my judgments into wick-

edness k more than the nations, and my statutes more 
than the countries that are round about her ; for they 
have refused my judgments and my statutes, they

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because ye

you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have 
kept my judgments, neither have done m according to S^^'lf -

in the midst of thee, in the sight of the nations. 

9 And I will do in thee that which I have not 
done, and whereunto I will not do any more the 

like ; because of all thine abominations. 

10 Therefore the fathers shall p eat the sons in the 
midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers ; and |^ m 2 
I will execute judgments in thee, and the q whole q.ier.49,32!

1 1 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, Sure-

thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, jg' r 
therefore will I also diminish thee / neither shall s mine 
eye spare, neither will I have any pity. 

1 2 A third part of thee shall die with the * pesti- t'pT 9V, 3.

x sword round about thee ; and I will scatter a third x Deut. 32, 
part into all the winds ; and I will draw out a sword j 2 j n x%

6 In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be 
6 laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate ; 
that your altars may be laid waste and made deso- 
late, and your idols may be broken and cease, and 
h your images may be cut down, and your works may 
be abolished. 

7 And the slain shall ' fall in the midst of you ; and 
ye shall k know that I am the Lord. 

8 Yet will I leave ' a remnant, that ye may have 
some that shall escape the sword among the nations, 
when ye shall be scattered through the countries. 

9 And they that escape of you shall remember me 
among the nations, whither they shall be carried cap- 
tives, because I am m broken with their n whorish 
heart, which hath departed from me, and with their 

eyes, which go a whoring after their idols : and they 
shall p loathe themselves for the evils which they have 
committed in all their abominations. 

10 And they shall know that I am the Lord, and 
that I have q not said in vain that I would do this evil 
unto them. 

1 1 Thus saith the Lord God, r Smite with thy 
hand, and s stamp with thy foot, and say, * Alas, for 
all the evil abominations of the house of Israel ! for 
they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the 
pestilence. 

12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence ; and 
he that is near shall fall by the sword ; and he that 
remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine : 
thus will I accomplish my fury upon them. 

1 3 Then shall ye know that I am the Lord, when 
their slain men shall be u among their idols round 
about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops 
of the mountains, and under every x green tree, and 
under every thick oak, the place where they did offer 
sweet savour to all their idols. 

14 So will I stretch out my hand y upon them, and 
make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the 
wilderness toward z Diblath, in all their habitations ; 
and they shall know that I am the Lord. 

CHAP. VII. 

1 The final desolation of Israel: 23 Their miserable captivity. 

MOREOVER, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God 
unto the a land of Israel, b An end, the end is come 
upon the four corners of the land. 

3 Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send 
mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according 
to thy ways, and will c recompense upon thee all thine 
abominations. 

4 And d mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will 

1 have pity : but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, 
and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee ; 
and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

5 Thus saith the Lord God, An evil, e an only evil, 
behold, is come. 

6 An end is come, the end is come : it f watcheth 
for thee ; behold, it is come. 

7 g The morning is come unto thee, O thou that 
dwellest in the land : the time is come, the h day of 
trouble is near, and not the ' sounding again of the 
mountains. 

8 Now will I shortly k pour out my fury upon thee, 
and accomplish mine anger upon thee ; and I will 
judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense 
thee for all thine abominations. 

9 And mine eye ihall not spare, neither will I have 



pity : I will recompense thee according to thy ways, 
and thine abominations that are in the midst of 
thee ; and ye shall know that I am the Lord that 
smiteth. 

1 Behold the day, behold, it is come ; the morning 
is gone forth ; the ' rod hath blossomed ; m pride hath 
budded. 

1 1 " Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness : 
none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor 
of any of theirs ; neither shall there ° be wailing for 
them. 

1 2 The p time is come, the day draweth near : let 
not the q buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for 
wrath T is upon all the multitude thereof. 

1 3 For the seller shall not return to that which is 
sold, although they were yet alive : for the vision is 
touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not 
return ; neither shall any s strengthen himself in the 
iniquity of his life.

1 5 The x sword is without, and the pestilence and 
the famine within : he that is in the field shall die with 
the sword ; and he that is in the city, famine and 
pestilence shall devour him. 

16 But they that escape of them shall escape, and 
shall be on the mountains like y doves of the valleys, 
all of them * mourning, every one for his iniquity. 

1 7 a All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall 
be weak as water. 

1 8 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, 
and b horror shall cover them •, and shame shall be upon 
all faces, and c baldness upon all their heads. 

1 9 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and 
their gold shall be removed : their silver and their gold 
shall a not be able to deliver them in the day of the 
wrath of the Lord : they shall not satisfy their souls, 
neither fill their bowels ; because it is the e stumbling- 
block of their iniquity. 

20 As for the ' beauty of his ornament, he set it in 
majesty ; but they made the images of their abomina- 
tions, and of their E detestable things therein : therefore 
have I set it far from them. 

21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers 
for a prey, and to the h wicked of the earth for a spoil ; 
and they shall ' pollute it. 

22 My face will k I turn also from them, and they 
shall pollute my secret place: for the ' robbers shall 
enter into it, and defile it. 

23 Make m a chain ; for the land is full of u bloody 
crimes, the city is full of violence. 

24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, 
and they shall possess their houses : I will also make 
the pomp of the strong to cease, and their ° holy places 
shall be defiled. 

25 Destruction cometh ; and they shall seek peace, 
and there shall be none. 

26 p Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour

ND it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth

that the c hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. 

2 Then 1 beheld, and, lo, a likeness as the appear- 
ance of d fire : from the appearance of his loins, even 
downward, fire ; and from his loins, even upward, as

me by a lock of my head, and the f spirit lifted me up

6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest 
thou what they do ? even the great abominations that

city to draw near, even eveiy man with his destroying 2L

2 And, behold, six c men came from the way of the ctkn. n,z

man d a slaughter-weapon in his hand ; and e one man <* PsaJ. io.j, 
f among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's ^ Tim 2 s, 
s ink-horn by his side : and they went in, and stood f Rev. 19,°" 
beside the brazen altar. u - 

3 And the h glory of the God of Israel was gone up h p s a 99', l 
from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the i threshold ' cl »- to, 4. 
of the house : and he called to the man clothed with & n>23 " 
linen, which had the writer's ink-horn by his side ; 

4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the 
midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and 
set k a mark upon the foreheads of the men that ' sigh, 
and that cry, for all the abominations that be done in 
the midst thereof. 

5 And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye 
m after him through the city, and smite ; let not your 21 
eye spare, neither have ye pity : •* Gt ^ ia » 

6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little 
children, and women ; but " come not near any man n Re¥ - ?> 3» 
upon whom is the mark ; and ° begin at my sanctuary. ?J Pet 4, 
Then they began at p the ancient men which were 
before the house. 

7 And he said unto them, q Defile the house, and q 2 Kings 
fill the courts with the slain ; go ye forth. And they fch r 6 ' s 
went forth, and slew in the city. 17. 

8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, Lam - 2 ' 7 
and I was left, that r I fell upon my face, and cried, * Num. 14, 
and said, 3 Ah Lord God ! wilt thou destroy all the j^; - c 
1 residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon 
Jerusalem ? 

9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house 
of Israel and Judah is u exceeding great, and the land u ch. Tt>, 25. 
is full of x blood, and the city full of perverseness ; for x 2 Kings 
they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the 21 * 16 "

1 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare,

1 1 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which 
had the ink-horn by his side, reported the matter, 
saying, I have a done as thou hast commanded me.

appeared over them as it were a sapphire-stone, as the

5 And the sound of the cherubims' wings was 
heard even to the k outer court, as the ' voice of the 
Almighty God when he speaketh. 

6 And it came to pass, that when m he had com- 
manded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire 
from between the wheels, from between the cheru- 
bims ; then he went in, and " stood beside the wheels. 

7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from 
between the cherubims unto the fire that was between 
the cherubims, and took thereof, and ° put it into the 
hands of him that was clothed with linen ; who took 
it, and went out. 

8 And there appeared in the cherubims the p form 
of a man's q hand under their wings. 

9 And when I looked, behold, the four wheels by 
the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another 
wheel by another cherub : and the appearance of the 

r ch. i, 15. r wheels was as the colour of a beryl-stone. 

10 And as for their appearances, they four had one 
likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a 
wheel. 

1 1 When they 8 went, they went upon their four 
sides ; they turned not as they went, but to the place 
whither the * head looked they u followed it ; they 
turned not as they went. 

12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their 
hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were x full of 
eyes round about, even the wheels, that they four had. 

13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my 
t Ps. 119,9. hearing, * O wheel ! 

14 And z every one had four faces: the first face 
was the face of a a cherub, and the second face was 
the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, 
and the fourth the face of an eagle. 

15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the 
living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar. 

16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went 
by them ; and when the cherubims lifted up their wings, 
to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also 
turned not from beside them. 

1 7 When they stood, these stood ; and when they 
were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also : for the 
spirit of the b living creature was in them. 

1 8 Then the c glory of the Lord d departed from 
off the threshold of the house, and stood over the 
cherubims. 

1 9 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and 
mounted up from the earth in my sight : when they 
went out, the wheels also were beside them ; and 
every one stood at the door of the e east gate of the 
Lord's house ; and the glory of the God of Israel 
was over them above. 

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the 
God of Israel, by the river of f Chebar; and I knew 
that they were the cherubims.. 

21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one 
four wings ; and the likeness of the hands of a man 
was under their wings. 

22 And the likeness of their faces was the same 
faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their ap- 

8 p s .i9,30. pearances and themselves: E they went every one 
straight forward.

CHAP. XI. ^ 

God sheweth Ezekiel his purpose in saving a remnant. S o,4_ 

MOREOVER, the a spirit lifted me up, and brought a ^p£ 
me unto the east gate of the Lord's house, ' 

which looketh eastward : and, behold, at the door of 
the gate b five and twenty men ; among whom I saw b ch. 8, us. 
Jaazauiah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of 
c Benaiah, li princes of the people. 

2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the 
men that e devise mischief, and give f wicked counsel, 
in this city ; 

3 Which say, It is g not near : let us build houses : 
this city is the caldron, and we be the '' flesh. 

4 j Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O 
son of man. 

5 And the k Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and 
said unto me, ' Speak ; Thus saith the Lord, Thus 
have ye said, O house of Israel : for I m know the 
things that come into your mind, every one of them. 

6 Ye have n multiplied your slain in this city, and n ch - 7 > 2S - 
ye have ° filled the streets thereof with the slain. oGen.6,11. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Your p slain, pMicah3,3. 
whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the 

flesh, and this city is the caldron ; but q I will bring qPs. 50,22. 
you forth out of the midst of it. 

8 Ye have feared the sword ; and 1 will bring a 
sword upon you, saith the Lord God. 

9 And r I will bring you out of the midst thereof, r isa. 5, 5. 
and deliver you into the hands of E strangers, and will s cb ~ 5 > 8 - 
execute judgments among you. 

10 Ye shall fall by the sword : I will judge you in 

the * border of Israel; and ye shall know that lam " Kings 8, 
the Lord. 2 Kings 25, 

1 1 This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall g. 

ye be the flesh in the midst thereof: but I will judge Jer - 52 ' ,0 - 
you in the border of Israel : 

1 2 And ye shall " know that I am the Lord : for 
ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed 
my judgments, but have done x after the manners of xLe 
the heathen that are round about you. 

13 And it came to pass, when I 7 prophesied, that 
Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, z died : then fell I a down 
upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, 
Ah Lord God ! wilt thou make a full end of the rem- 
nant of Israel ? 

14 b Again the word of the Lord came unto me, Ps- H9> 12 

° ' bPsal. 103, 

saying, 13) ]4 . 

1 5 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, verse 13. 
the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel 
wholly, are they c unto whom the inhabitants of Je- c John 16,2 
rusalem have said, d Get ye far from the Lord ; unto d isa. 66, 
e us is this land given in possession. 

16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, Al 
though I have f cast them far off among the heathen, nsn.45,6,7. 
and although I have scattered them among the conn- ,cal 
tries, yet will I be to them as s a little sanctuary in k Gen. 8, 1 
the countries where they shall come. er ' ' ' 

17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, I will 

even ''gather you from the people, and assemble you y^f*}^ 
out of the countries where yo have been scattered, 
and I will give you the land of Israel. 

18 And they shall come thither, and they shall 

'take away all the detestable things thereof, and all JJJ»: , J fc 
the abominations thereof, from thence. 

19 And I will give them "one heart, and ! will put kJer.32.s9. 
a new spirit within you : and I will take the stony ch - 3t; - 2T - 
heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of

me in vision by the p Spirit of God into Chaldea, to

not ; they have ears to hear, and hear not : for they 
are a rebellious house. 

3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff 
c Jet. 28, 3. for removing, and remove c by day in their sight ; and 

thou slialt remove from thy place to another place in 
their sight : it may be they will consider, though they 
be a rebellious house. 

4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in 
their sight, as stuff for removing : and thou shalt go 
forth u at even in their sight, as they that go forth into 

Je'r.39,4.& captivity. 

52, 7. 5 e Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and

f 2 Sam. 15, f cover thy face, that thou see not the ground ; for I 
have set thee for g a sign unto the house of Israel. 

7 And I h did so as I was commanded : I brought 
forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in 
the ev en I digged through the wall l with my hand ; 
1 brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon 
my shoulder in their sight. 

8 And in the morning came the word of the Lord 
unto me, saying, 

9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the 
/t Neh. 4, 2, rebellious house, said unto thee, k What doest thou 1 

10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God,

1 1 Say, I am n your sign : like as I have done, so

16 But I will leave a few men of them from the 
sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that 
they may l declare all their abominations among the 
heathen whither they come ; and they shall know that 
I am the Lord. 

1 7 IT Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, 
saying, 

1 8 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and 
drink thy water with u trembling and with carefulness; 

19 And say unto the people of the land, Thus 
saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
and of the land of Israel, They shall eat their bread 
with carefulness, and drink their water with astonish- 
ment, that her land may be x desolate from all that is 
therein, because of the violence of them that dwell 
therein. 

20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid 
waste, and the land shall be desolate ; and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

21 IT And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have 
in the land of Israel, saying, y The days are prolonged, 
and every vision faileth ? 

23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God, 
I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no 
more use it as a proverb in Israel ; but say unto them, 
The z days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. 

24 For there shall be no more any a vain vision nor 
b nattering divination within the house of Israel. 

25 For I am the Lord : I will speak, and the word 
that I shall speak shall c come*to pass ; it shall be no 
more prolonged : for in your days, O rebellious house, 
will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord 
God. 

26 IT Again, the word of the Lord came to me, 
saying, 

27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel 
say, The vision that he seeth is for d many days to 
come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. 

28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God, There shall none of my words be prolonged any 
more ; but the word which I have spoken shall be 
done, saith the Lord God.

Will ye f hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save 
the souls alive that come unto you 1 

1 9 And will ye pollute me among my people for 
6 handfuls of barley, and for pieces of bread, to slay 
the souls that should not die, and to save the souls 
alive that should not live, by your lying to my people 

hPr.i9,27. h that hear yo?/r lies? 

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I

ye hunt to make them fly.

people out of your hand, and they shall be no more

CHAP. XIV. 

Hypocrites reproved, mho inquire of God with idolatry in 
their heart. 
HEN came certain of the elders of Israel unto 
me, and a sat before me. 

2 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in 
their b heart, and put the c stumbling-block of then- 
iniquity before their face: should I be a inquired of at 
all by them ? 

4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, 
Thus saith the. Lord God, Every man of the house of 
Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth 
the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and 
cometh to the prophet, I the Lord will e answer him 
that cometh according to the multitude of his idols ; 

5 That I may f take the house of Israel in their own 
heart, because they are all estranged from me through 
their idols. 

6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus 
saith the Lord God, e Repent, and turn yourselves from 
your idols ; and turn away your h faces from all your 
abominations. 

7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the 
stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which J separateth 
himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, 
and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before 
his face, and cometh to k a prophet to inquire of Mm 
concerning me; I the Lord will answer him by 
myself: 

8 And 1 will set my face against that man, and will 
make him 1 a sign and a proverb, and I will m cut him 
off from the midst of my people ; and ye shall know 
that I am the Lord. 

9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath 
spoken a thing, I the Lord d have deceived that pro- 
phet; and I will ° stretch out my hand upon him, and 
will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. 

10 And they shall bear the punishment of their 
iniquity : the punishment p of the prophet shall be even 
as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him ; 

1 1 That the house of Israel may go no more q astray 
from me, neither be 'polluted any more with all their 
transgressions ; but that they may be my people, and 
I may be their God, saith the Lord God. 

12 IT The word of the Lord came again to me, 
saying, 

13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me, 
by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out my 
hand upon it, and will break s the staff of the bread 
thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off 
man and beast from it. 

14 Though f these three men, u Noah. " Daniel, and 
y Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own 
souls z by their righteousness, saith the Lord God. 

15 If 1 cause a noisome beasts to pass through the 
land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, thai no 
man may pass through because of the beasts. 

16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, 
saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor 
daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land 
shall be desolate. 

17 Or if I bring b a sword upon that land, and 'say. 
Sword, go through the land ; so that 1 cut off man and 
beast from it : 

18 Though these three men were in it, as I live,

saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor 
daughters, but the.y only shall be delivered themselves. 

19 Or if I send d a pestilence into that land, and 
e pour out my fury upon it f in blood, to cut off from 
it man and beast : 

20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I 
live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son 
nor daughter ; they shall but deliver their own souls 
by their righteousness. 

21 For thus saith the Lord God, How much more 
when I send s my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, 
the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and 
the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast ? 

22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left b a remnant 
that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters : 
behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall 
see their way and their doings : and ye shall be ' com- 
forted concerning the evil that I have brought upon 
Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought 
upon it. 

23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their 
ways and their doings : and ye shall know that I have 
not done k without cause all that I have done in it, 
saith the Lord God. 

CHAP. XV. 

The rejection of Jerusalem foreshewn. 

ND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
2 Son of man, what is the a vine-tree more than 
any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees 
of the forest ? 

3 Shall wood be taken thereof b to do any work ? 
or will men take c a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon ? 

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel ; the fire 
devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is 
burnt. Is it meet for any work ? 

5 Behold, when it was whole it was meet for no 
work : a how much less shall it be meet yet for any 
work when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned ? 

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, e As the vine- 
tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given 
to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem. 

7 And I will f set my face against them ; they shall 
go out from g one fire, and another fire shall devour 
them ; and ye shall know that I am the Lord, when 
I set my face against them. 

8 And I will make the land h desolate, because 
they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God. 

CHAP. XVI. 

God's extraordinary love toward Jerusalem. 

AGAIN the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, a cause Jerusalem to know her abo- 
minations, 

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto Jerusa- 
lem, Thy b birth and thy nativity is of the land of Ca- 
naan ; thv father was an Amorite, and thy mother a 
Hittite. 

4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast 
c born, thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou wash- 
ed in water to supple thee : thou wast not u salted at 
all, nor swaddled at all. 

5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto 
thee, to have compassion upon thee ; but thou wast 
c ( ast out in the open field, to the e loathing of thy per- 
son, in the day that thou wast born. 

6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee pol-

thou wast in thy blood, s Live. 

7 I have caused thee to h multiply as the bud of the 
field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and 
thou art come to excellent ornaments : thy * breasts 
are fashioned, and thy hair is grown, whereas thou 
wast k naked and bare. 

8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon R ° ev . 3< r 
thee, behold, thy time was the time of t love ; and I t Hebl 
spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy naked- jXi'3. 
ness : yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a 
covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou 
becamest ' mine. 

9 Then m washed I 
roughly washed away 
n anointed thee with oil. 

10 I clothed thee also with °broidered work, and 
p shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about s, 6, 7 
with fine linen, and I q covered thee with silk. q long's,^ 

111 decked thee also with ornaments, and I put 1 Cor c ii', 5.

12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and ear- 
rings in thine ears, and s a beautiful crown upon thy » Pr. 4, 9. 
head. 

1 3 Thus wast thou * decked with gold and silver ; * 1 Kings 
and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broi- 10 ' lb ' 
dered work : thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and 
oil ; and thou wast exceeding u beautiful, and thou c Ps. 4s, a. 
didst prosper into a kingdom. 

1 4 And thy x renown went forth among the heathen * 1 Kings 
for thy beauty : for it was perfect through my comeli- 4 ' 29-

f incense before them. 

19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and 
oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even 
set it before them for a sweet savour : and thus it was, 
saith the Lord God.

red, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed 
by, and multiplied thy whoredoms. 

26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the 
p Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh ; and hast 
increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger. 

27 Behold, therefore, I have stretched out my hand 
over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, 
and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate 
thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are 
q ashamed of thy r lewd way. 

28 Thou hast played the whore also with the s As- 
syrians, because thou wast unsatiable ; yea, thou hast 
played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not. be 
satisfied. 

29 Thou hast, moreover, multiplied thy fornication 
in the land of Canaan unto * Chaldea, and yet thou 
wast not satisfied herewith. 

30 How u weak is thy heart, saith the Lord God, 
seeing thou doest all these things, the x work of an 
imperious whorish woman ; 

31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the 
head of every way, and makest thy high place in 
every street ; and hast not been as a y harlot, in that 
thou scornest hire ; 

32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which 
taketh z strangers a instead of her husband ! 

33 They give gifts to all whores ; but thou givest 
thy gifts to all b thy lovers, and hirest them, that they 
may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom. 

34 And the contrary is in thee from other women 
in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to 
commit whoredoms : and in that thou givest a reward, 
and no reward is given unto thee ; therefore thou art 
contrary. 

35 Wherefore, c O harlot, hear the word of the 
Lord : 

36 Thus saith the Lord God, Because thy filthi- 
ness was poured out, and thy d nakedness discovered 
through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all 
the idols of thine abominations, and by the blood of 
thy children, which thou didst give unto them : 

37 Behold, therefore, T will n gather all thy lovers, 
with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that 
thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated ; I 
will even gather them round about against thee, and 
will discover thy nakedness f unto them, that they may 
see all thy nakedness. 

38 And I will judge thee, E as women that break 
wedlock, and shed blood, are judged : and I will give 
thee blood in fury and h jealousy. 

39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and 
they shall throw down thine ' eminent place, and shall 
break down thy high places : they shall k strip thee 
also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and 
leave thee naked and bare. 

40 They shall also bring up ' a company against 
thee, and they m shall stone thee with stones, and 
thrust thee through with their swords. 

41 And they shall " burn thy houses with fire, and 
execute judgments upon thee in the ° sight of many 
women : and I will cause thee to cease froru playing 
the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more. 

42 So will I make my fury towards thee p to rest, 
and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will 
q be quiet, and will be no more angry. 

43 Because thou hast r not remembered the days 
of thy youth, but hast " fretted me in all these things ; 
behold, therefore, I also will e recompense thy way 

3 S 



upon thy head, saith the Lord God ; and thou shalt 
not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations. 

44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use 
this proverb against thee, saying, As is the u mother, 
so is her daughter. 

45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, that loatheth 
her husband and her children ; and thou art the sister 
of thy sisters, which loathed their husbands and their 
children : your mother was a Hittite, and your father 
an Amorite. 

46 And thine x elder sister is Samaria, she and her 
daughters that dwell at thy left hand : and thy younger 
sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and 
her daughters. 

47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor 
clone after their abominations; but, as if that were y a 
very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they 
in all thy ways. 

48 As I live, saith the Lord God, Sodom thy sister 
hath not done, she nor her daughters, ? as thou hast 
done, thou and thy daughters. 

49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister So- 
dom, a pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idle- 
ness, was in her, and in her daughters, neither did she 
strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 

50 And they were b haughty, and committed abo- 
mination before me : therefore I took them away as i 
saw good. 

51 Neither hath c Samaria committed half of thy 
sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations 
more than they, and hast d justified thy sisters in all 
thine abominations which thou hast done. 

52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, e bear 
thine own shame, for thy sins that thou hast commit- 
ted more abominable than they : they are more r right- 
eous than thou ; yea, be thou confounded also, and 
bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters. 

53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the 
s captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the cap- 
tivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring 
again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of 
them ; 

54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and 
mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in 
that thou art h a comfort unto them. 

55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, 
shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and 
her daughters shall return to their former estate, ' then 
thou and thy daughters shall return to your former 
estate. 

56 For thy sister Sodom was k not mentioned by 
thy mouth in the day of thy pride, 

57 ' Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at 
the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and 
all that are round about her, the daughters of the Phi- 
listines, which m despise thee round about. 

58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abomi- 
nations, saith the Lord. 

59 For thus saith the Lord God, 1 will even deal 
with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the 
n oath in breaking the covenant. 

60 Nevertheless, I will ° remember my covenant 
with thee in the days of thy youth, and J will establish 
unto thee p an everlasting covenant. 

61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways and be 
q ashamed, when thou shalt receive r thy sisters, thine 
elder andlhy younger : and J will give them unto thee 
for a daughters, but not by thv l covenant.

The parable of the two eagles and the vine. 
ND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a 
parable unto a the house of Israel ; 

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God, A great 
eagle with great wings, b long-winged, full of feathers, 
which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and 
took the u highest branch of the cedar : 

4 He d cropped off the top of his young twigs, and 
carried it. into a land of traffic ; he set it in a city of 
merchants. 

5 He took also of e the seed of the land, and 
planted it in a f fruitful field ; he placed it by great 
waters, and set it as a willow-tree ; 

6 And it g grew, and became a spreading vine of 
low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and 
the roots thereof were under him : so it became a 
vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. 

7 There was also h another great eagle with great 
wings and many feathers ; and, behold, this vine did 
1 bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branch- 
es toward him, that he might water it by the furrows 
of her plantation. 

8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, 
that it might bring forth branches, and that it might 
bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. 

9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God, Shall it 
k prosper ? shall ' he not pull up the roots thereof, and 
cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither 
iu all the leaves of her spring, even without great 
power, or many people to pluck it up by the rods 
thereof. 

10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? 
shall it not utterly wither when the m east wind touch- 
eth it ? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew. 

1 1 II Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

1 2 Say now to the " rebellious house, Know ye not 
what these tilings mean? tell them, Behold, °the king 
of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the 
king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them 
with him to Babylon ; 

1 3 And hath taken of the v king's seed, and made 
a covenant with him, and hath taken q an oath of him : 
he hath also taken the t mighty of the land : 

1 4 That the kingdom might be base, that it might 
not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant 
it might stand. 

15 But he rebelled against him, in sending his 
ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him 
r horses and much people. Shall he prosper ? shall 
he escape that doeth such things? or shall he 9 break 
the covenant, and be delivered 1 

16 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely in the 
place where the king dwelleth that made him king, 
1 whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he 
brake, even with him, in the midst of Babylon, he 
shall u die. 

17 Neitner shall x Pharaoh with ids mighty army and 
great company, make for him in the war, by casting! 
up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons : 1 



1EL. The parable of sour g 

18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the 
covenant, when, lo, lie had y given his hand, and hath 
done all these things, he shall not escape. 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, As I live, 
surely z mine oath that he hath despised, and my co- 
venant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense 
upon his own head. 

20 And 1 will spread my a net upon him, and he 
shall be taken in my snare ; and I will bring him to 
Babylon, and will b plead with him there for his tres- 
pass that he hath trespassed against me. 

21 And all his c fugitives with all his bands shall 
fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scat- 
tered towards all winds ; and ye shall know that I the 
Lord have spoken it. 

22 Thus saith the Lord God, I will also take of 
the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it ; 
I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a d ten- 
der one, and will plant it upon a e high mountain and 
eminent : 

23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I 
plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and f bear 
fruit, and be a s goodly cedar : and b under it shall 
dwell all fowl of every wing ; in the shadow of the 
branches thereof shall they dwell. 

24 And all the trees of the field shall ! know that 

I the Lord have k brought down the high tree, have 
exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, 
and have made the ' dry tree to flourish : 1 the Lord 
have spoken, and have done it. 

CHAP. XVIII. 

God reproveth the unjust parable of sour grapes. 

AND the word of the Lord came unto me again, 
saying, 

2 a What mean ye, that ye use this proverb con- 
cerning the land of Israel, saying, b The fathers have 
eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on 
edge? 

3 As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have 
occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 

4 Behold, all souls are mine ; c as the soul of the 
father, so also the soul of the son is mine : the soul 

II that sinnelh, it shall e die. 

5 But if a man be f just, and do E that which is law- 
ful and right, 

6 And hath h not eaten upon the mountains, nei- 
ther hath ' lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of 
Israel, neither hath k defiled his neighbour's wife, 
neither hath come near to a menstruous woman, 

7 And hath not ' oppressed any, but hath restored 
to the debtor his m pledge, hath n spoiled none by vio- 
lence, hath given his ° bread to the hungry, and hath 
covered the naked with a garment ; 

8 He that hath not given forth upon p usury, nei- 
ther hath taken any increase, that hath q withdrawn 
his hand from iniquity, hath r executed true judgment 
between man and man, 

9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my 
judgments, to s deal truly ; he is just, he shall surely 
live, saith the Lord God. 

10 If he h?get a son that is a robber, * a shedder of 
blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these 
things, 

1 1 And that doeth not any of those duties, but even 
hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neigh- 
bour's wife, 

1 2 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled 
by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath

lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed u abomi- 
nation, 

13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken 
increase : shall he then live ? he shall not live : he 
hath done all these abominations ; he shall surely 
x die, his y blood shall be upon him. 

1 4 Now, lo, if he z beget a son that a seeth all his 
father's sins which he hath done, and b considereth, 
and c doeth not such like, 

15 That hath not eaten upon the mountains, nei- 
ther hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of 
Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife, 

16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withhold- 
en the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but 
hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered 
the naked with a garment, 

1 7 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, 
that hath not received usury nor increase, hath exe- 
cuted my judgments, hath walked in my statutes ; 
he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall 
surely live. 

1 8 As for his father, because he d cruelly oppressed, 
spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is 
not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his 
iniquity. 

19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the 
'• e iniquity of the father ? When the son hath done 

that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my 
statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 

20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. f The son

gisa. 3, io. the father bear the iniquity of the son ; the g righteous- 
ness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the 
b wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 

21 But if the wicked will ! turn from all his sins 
that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, 
and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely 
live, he shall not die. 

22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, 
they shall not be k mentioned unto him : ' in his right- 
eousness that he hath done he shall live. 

23 Have I any m pleasure at all that the wicked 
should die ? saith the Lord God ; and not that he 
should return from his ways, and live ? 

24 But when n the righteous tumeth away from his 
righteousness, and ° committeth iniquity, and doeth 
according to all the abominations that the wicked 
man doeth, shall he live? All his p righteousness that 
he hath done shall not be mentioned : in his trespass, 
that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath 
sinned, in them shall he die. 

25 Yet '* ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. 
Hear now, O house of Israel, r Is not my way equal ? 
are not 8 your ways unequal ? 

26 When a righteous man turneth away from his 
righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in 
them ; for his iniquity that he hath done, shall, he die.

whereby ye have transgressed ; and make you a a

A lamentation for the princes of Israel, and for Jerusalem 

MOREOVER, take thou a up a lamentation for 
the b princes of Israel, 

2 And say, What is thy mother ? c A lioness : 
she lay down among d lions, she nourished her e whelps 
among young lions. 

3 And she brought up f one of her whelps : it be- 23, 31.

it devoured men. 

4 The nations also heard of him ; he was taken in 
their pit, and they br«ught him with chains unto the 
land of Egypt. 

5 Now, when she saw that she had E waited, and 
her hope was lost, then she took h another of her 
whelps, and made him a young lion. 

6 And he went up and down among the lions, he 
became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, 
' and devoured men. ' Jer. 20, 17 

7 And he knew their k desolate palaces, and he k 2 Chr. 36

8 Then the m nations set against him on every side

Tlit history of TsraePs 

judge them ? e cause them to 
of their fathers ; 

5 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, 
f In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my 
hand unto the g seed of the house of Jacob, and h made 
myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when 
I lifted up my hand unto them, saying, I am the Lord 
your God ; 

6 In the day that I lifted up my hand unto them, to 
bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that 
1 had ' espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, 
which is the k glory of all lands ; 

7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away eveiy man 
the ' abominations of his eyes, and m defile not your- 
selves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. 

8 But they rebelled against me, and would n not 
hearken unto me : they did not every man cast away 
the abominations of their eyes, neither did they for- 
sake the idols of Egypt : then I said, °I will pour out 
my fury upon them, to accomplish mine anger against 
them in the midst of the land of Egypt. 

9 But I wrought for my p name's sake, that it should 
not be polluted q before the heathen, among whom 
they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto 
them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 

1 Wherefore r I caused them to go forth out of the 
land of Egypt, and brought them into the 9 wilderness : 

1 1 And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them 
my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even * live 
in them. 

12 Moreover also, I gave them my sabbaths, to be 
u a sign between me and them, that they might know 
that I am the Lord that sanctify them. 

13 But the house of Israel x rebelled against me in 
the wilderness : they walked not in my statutes, and 
they y despised my judgments, which if a man do, he 
shall even live in them ; and my sabbaths they greatly 
polluted : then I said, I would z pour out my fury upon 
them in the wilderness, to consume them. 

14 But a I wrought for my name's sake, that it 
should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose 
sight T brought them out. 

1 5 Yet also I b lifted up my hand unto them in the 
wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land 
which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, 
which is the glory of all lands ; 

16 Because they despised my judgments, and walk- 
ed not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths : for 
their c heart went after their idols. 

17 Nevertheless mine eye spared them from de- 
stroying them, neither did I make d an end of them 
in the wilderness. 

1 8 Rut I said unto their children in the wilderness, 
e Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither 
observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with 
their idols. 

19 I am the Lord your God ; f walk in my statutes, 
and keep my judgments, and do them ; 

20 And g hallow my sabbaths ; and they shall be a 
sign between me and you, that ye may know that I 
am the Lord your God. 

21 Notwithstanding the children h rebelled against 
me : they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my 
judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall 
even live in them ; they polluted my sabbaths : then I 
said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accom- 
plish mine anger against them in the wilderness.

28 For when I p had brought them into the land, for 
the which I lifted up my hand to give it to them, q then q Jer - 2 > '• 
they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and 

they offered there their sacrifices, and there they pre- 
sented the provocation of their offering : there also they 
made their sweet savour, and poured out there their 
r drink-offerings. •. Ps - * 6 - *• 

29 Then I said unto them, What is the s high place %%%l ' 
whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called s2Chr. 34, 
Bamah unto this day. 

30 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus 

saith the Lord God, Are ye polluted l after the manner 1 1 Cor. 11, 
of your fathers? and commit ye " whoredom after their E ' h 6 T 
abominations ? u Lev. 20, 5. 

31 For when ye offer x your gifts, when ye make "c°h e i6 2 'i8[ 
y your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute your- y Lev. 20, 
selves with all your idols, even unto this day : and £*• 106 37 
shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel ? As V er. 20,' 21! 
I live, saith the Lord God, I will not be z inquired of z 2 Rings 

by yOU. verse 3. 

32 And that which a cometh into your- mind shall 
b not be at all, that ye say, c We will be as the heathen, 
as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. 

33 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely with d a 
mighty hand, and with a stretched-out arm, and with 
e fury poured out, will I f rule over you ; 

34 And I will bring you out from the people, and 
will s gather you out of the countries wherein ye are g Amos 9, a. 
scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched- 
out arm, and with fury poured out ; 

35 And I will bring you into the h wilderness of the h ch. 19, ia 
people, and there will I ' plead with you face to face, i ch. 19, ia 

36 Like as I k pleaded with your fathers in the wil- k Ex. 32, 7. 
derness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, 

saith the Lord God. 

37 And I will cause you l to pass under the rod, and iLev.27,32. 
I will bring you into the bond of the covenant : 

38 And I will m purge out from among you the 
rebels, and them that transgress against me : I will 
bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, 
and they shall n not enter into the land of Israel ; and 
ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord 
God, ° Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter 
also, if ye will not hearken unto me : but pollute ye 
my holy name no more with your p gifts, and with pisa. 1,13.

the height of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall 
all the r house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve 
nie : there will I accept them, and there will 1 require 
your 8 offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, 
with all your holy things. 

41 I will accept you with your * sweet savour, when 
I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of 
the countries wherein ye have been scattered ; and I 
will be sanctified in you before the heathen. 

42' And ye shall u know that I am the Lord, when 
I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the coun- 
try/or the which I lifted up my hand to give it to your 
fathers. 

43 And there shall ye x remember your ways, and 
all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled ; and ye 
shall y loathe yourselves in your own sight, for all your 
evils that ye have committed. 

44 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I 
have wrought with you for my name's sake, not ac- 
cording to your z wicked ways, nor according to your 
corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God. 

45 IT Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

46 Son of man, a set thy face toward the south, and 
h drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against 
the forest of the south field ; 

47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word 
of the Lord, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will 
kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every c green 
tree in thee, and every diy tree : the flaming flame 
shall not be quenched, and d all faces from the south 
to the north shall be burnt therein. 

48 And e all flesh shall see that I the Lord have 
kindled it : it shall not be quenched. 

49 Then said I, Ah Lord God ! they say of me, 
Doth he not speak f parables ?

Ezekiel prophesieth against Jerusalem -with a sign of sighing. 

AND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 
2 Son of man, a set thy face toward Jerusalem, 
and drop thy word toward b the holy places, and pro- 
phesy against the land of Israel, 

3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, 
Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my 
sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the 
c righteous and the wicked. 

4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the 
righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my d sword 
go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the 
south to the north ; 

5 That all flesh may know that I the Lord have 
drawn forth my sword out of his sheath : e it shall not 
return any more. 

6 Sigh, therefore, thou son of man, with the f break- 
ing of thy loins ; and with g bitterness sigh before their 
eyes. 

7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Where- 
fore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the 
h tidings ; because it comcth : and every heart shall 
' melt, and k all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit 
shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water : be- 
hold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the 
Lord God. 

8 If Again, the word of the Luud came unto me, 
saying, 

9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the 
Lord ; Say, ' A sword, a sword is sharpened, and 
also furbished :

10 It is sharpened to make

mirth 1 it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree. 

1 1 And p he hath given it to be furbished, that it 
may be handled : this sword is sharpened, and it is 
furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer. 

12 'i Cry and howl, son of man ; for it shall be upon 
my people, it shall be upon all the r princes of Israel : 
terrors, by reason of the sword, shall be upon my peo- 
ple : s smite therefore upon thy thigh. 

1 3 Because it is a trial, and what if the sword con- 
temn even the rod ? it shall be * no more, saith the 
Lord God. 

14 Thou, therefore, son of man, prophesy, and 
smite thy hands together, and let the sword be doubled 

the u third time, the sword of the slain : it is the sword u Lev. 26, 
of the great men that are slain, which entereth into ^ u( 28 m 
their x privy chambers. x i Kings 

15 I have set the point of the sword against all A ^ ^° 9 2 
their y gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins 3.

up for the slaughter. 

16 Go thee one way or other, either on the right 
hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set. 

1 7 a I will also smite my hands together, and I will 
cause b my fuiy to rest : I the Lord have said it. 

1 8 T The word of the Lord came unto me again, b Isa - '< '^- 
saying, 

1 9 Also, thou son of man, c appoint thee two ways, 
that the sword of the king of Babylon may come : 
both twain shall come forth out of one land ; and 
choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way 
to the city. 

20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to 

d Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusa- d2Sam 12, 
lem the e defenced. j^ r 49 ., 

21 For the r king of Babylon stood at the parting el's. 4s', 12. 
of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use g divi- f^ 5 4] ':> 2 
nation : he made his arrows bright, he consulted with & 46, 9.' 
images, he looked in the h liver. |_ Pl '' 1( ^ '']• 

22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusa- h pTm, 
lem, to appoint t captains, to open the mouth in the 
slaughter, to ' lift up the voice with shouting, to ap- 
point battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, 
and to build a fort. 

23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination 
k in their sight, to them that have, sworn oaths : but 
he will call to ' remembrance the iniquity, that they 
may be taken. 

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because ye 
have made m your iniquity to be remembered, in that 
your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your 
doings your sins do appear ; because, / say, that ye 
are come to remembrance, ye shall be n taken with 
the hand.

CHAP. XXII. 
The general corruption of all orders of men. 

MOREOVER, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou 
judge the a bloody city ? yea, thou shalt shew her all 
her abominations. 

3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord God, The 
city sheddeth blood in the b midst of it, that c her time 
may come ; and maketh idols against herself to defile 
herself. 

4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou 
hast shed ; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which 
thou hast made ; and thou hast caused thy days to 
draw near, and art come even unto thy years : there- 
fore have I made thee d a reproach unto the heathen, 
and a mocking to all countries. 

5 Tliose that be near, and those that be far from thee, 
shall mock thee, which art e infamous and f much 
vexed. 

6 Behold, the g princes of Israel, 
thee to their power to shed blood. 

7 In thee have they h set light by father and 
mother ; in the midst of thee have they dealt by op- 
pression with the stranger ; in thee have they vexed 
1 the fatherless and the widow. 

8 Thou hast despised my holy things, and hast pro- 
faned my k sabbaths. 

9 In thee are men that ' carry tales to shed blood ; 
and in thee they m eat upon the mountains ; in the 
midst of thee they commit n lewdness ; 

10 In thee have they "discovered their fathers' na- 
kedness ; in thee have they humbled her that was set 
apart for pollution. 

1 1 And one hath p committed abomination with his 
neighbour's wife ; and another hath lewdly defiled his 
daughter-in-law ; and another in thee hath humbled 
his sister, his father's daughter. 

12 In thee have they "J taken gifts to shed blood; 
thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast 
greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and 
hast r forgotten me, saith the Lord God. 

1 3 Behold, therefore, I have s smitten my hand at 
thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy 
1 blood which hath been in the midst of thee. 

1 4 Can thy heart endure, or can thy u hands be 
strong, in the days that x I shall deal with thee ? I the 
Lord have spoken it, and will do it. 

15 And 1 will y scatter thee among the heathen, 
and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume 
thy filthiness out of thee. 

16 And thou shalt z take thine inheritance in thy- 
self in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt * know 
that I am the Lord.

General corruption of the people. 

17 IF And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me be- 
come b dross : all they are c brass, and tin, and iron, 
and lead, in the midst of the furnace ; they are even 
the dross of silver. 

1 9 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because ye 
are all become dross, behold, therefore, I will d gather d ch. n, ?. 
you into the midst of Jerusalem. 

20 As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and 
lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow 

the fire upon it, e to melt it; so will I gather you in e Rev. 2, 22. 
mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, 
and melt you. 

21 Yea, I will gather you, and f blow upon you in f<*- 21, 13. 
the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the 

midst thereof. 

22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, 
so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye 

shall know that I the Lord have 6 poured out my fury gch. 20,33 
upon you. 

23 II And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land 

that is h not cleansed, nor ' rained upon in the k day of h isa. 9, is. 
indignation. 

25 There is ' a conspiracy of her prophets in the 
midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey : 
they have m devoured souls ; they have taken the trea- 
sure and precious things ; they have made her many 
widows in the midst thereof. 

26 Her priests have n violated my law, and have 
profaned my holy things : they have put no difference 

between the holy and profane, neither have they Mat. 15, 6 
shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, \f^' % ' n 
and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and 1 am 
profaned among them. 

27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like p wolves 
ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, 
to get dishonest gain. 

28 And her prophets have q daubed them with un- 
tempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto 
them, saying, r Thus saith the Lord God, when the 
Lord hath not spoken. 

29 The people of the land have used s oppression, 
and * exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and 
needy ; yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrong- 
fully. 

30 And I u sought for a man among them that 
should make up the hedge, and stand in the x gap be- 
fore me for the land, that 1 should not destroy it ; but 

1 found none. 

31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation 
upon them ; I have consumed them with the fire of 
my wrath ; their own way have I recompensed upon 
their heads, saith the Lord God.

2 Son of man, there were a two women, the daugh- 
ters of one mother ; 

3 And they " committed whoredoms in Egypt ; 
they committed whoredoms in their c youth : there

they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names, 
Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah. 

5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was 
mine ; and she doted on her lovers, on the f Assyrians 
her neighbours. 

6 Which were clothed with blue, captains and 
rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen 
riding upon horses. 

7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, 
E with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, 
and with all on whom she doted : with all their idols 
she defiled herself. 

8 Neither left she her whoredoms h brought from 
Egypt : for in her youth they lay with her, and they 
bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their 
whoredom upon her. 

9 Wherefore I liave ' delivered her into the hand 
of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon 
whom she doted. 

1 These k discovered her nakedness ; they took 
her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the 
sword ; and she became ' famous among women ; for 
they had executed judgment upon her. 

1 1 And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was 
m more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in 
her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms. 

1 2 She n doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, 
captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen 
riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. 

13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took 
both ° one way : 

1 4 And that she increased her whoredoms : for 
when she saw men p pourtrayed upon the wall, the 
images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with q vermilion, 

1 5 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding 
in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to 
look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chal- 
dea, the land of their nativity : 

16 And, as soon as she r saw them with her eyes, 
she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them 
into Chaldea. 

1 7 And the 8 Babylonians came to her into the bed 
of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom ; 
and she was polluted with them, and her l mind was 
alienated from them. 

18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and disco- 
vered her nakedness : then my mind was alienated 
from her, like as my mind was u alienated from her 
sister. 

1 9 Yet she x multiplied her whoredoms, y in call- 
ing to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein 
she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 

20 For she doted upon their t paramours, whose 
flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like 
the issue of horses. 

21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewd- 
ness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyp- 
tians for the paps of thy youth. 

22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord 
God, Behold, '■ I will raise up thy lovers against thee, 
from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring 
them against thee on every side ; 

23 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, " Pe- 
kod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with 
them : all of them desirable young men, captains and 
rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding 
upon horses. 

24 And they shall come against thee with chariots,

pie, which shall ,.set against thee buckler, and shield, 
and helmet, round about : and h I will set judgment 
before them, and they shall judge thee c according to 
their judgments. 

25 And I will set nry d jealousy against thee, and 
they shall deal furiously with thee : they shall take 
away thy e nose and thine ears ; and thy remnant 
shall fall by the sword : they shall take thy sons and 
thy daughters ; and thy residue shall be devoured by 
the fire. 

26 They shall also f strip thee out of thy clothes, fch. 16, 16. 
and take away thy fair jewels. 

27 Thus will I make thy g lewdness to cease from gch.22,15.. 
thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of 

Egypt : so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto 
them, nor remember Egypt any more. 

28 For thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will de-

33 Thou shalt be q filled with drunkenness .

34 Thou shalt even drink it, and r suck it out, and qcb. Z a| 4 i^ 
thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and s pluck off r Ps. 75, 8.

35 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because 
thou hast * forgotten me, and u cast me behind thy

whoredoms.

man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah ? yea, 
x declare unto them their abominations ; 

37 That they have committed adultery, and y blood cha h p, j| 2( 
is in their hands, and with their idols have they com- y

whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through 
the fire, to devour them.

have z defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and 
have profaned my sabbaths.

idols, a then they came the same day into my sanctu- a z Kin

Jerusalem's destruction.

42 And a voice of a multitude being e at ease was 
with her : and with the men of the common sort were 
brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put 
bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon 
their heads. 

43 Then said I unto her that was f old in adulteries, 
Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she 
with them? 

44 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a 
woman that playeth the harlot; so went they in unto 
Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women. 

45 And the g righteous men, they shall judge them 
after the manner of adulteresses, and h after the man- 
ner of women that shed blood; because they are 

h^Deut 22, a d u lteresses, and blood is in their hands, 
ck 16, 38. 46 For thus saith the Lord God, ■ I will bring up a 
i'dTfs^o com P an y upon them, and will give them to be re- 
moved and spoiled. 

47 And the company shall k stone them with stones, 
and despatch them with their swords ; they shall slay 
their sons and their daughters, and burn up their 
houses with fire. 

48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the 
land, that all ' women may be taught not to do after 
your lewdness. 

49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon 
you, and ye m shall bear the sins of your idols : and 
ye shall know that I am the Lord God. 

CHAP. XXIV. 

By a boiling pot, is shewed Jerusalem's destruction. 

AGAIN, in the a ninth year, in the tenth month, in 
the tenth day of the month, the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, 
even of this same day ; the king of Babylon b set him- 
self against Jerusalem this same day. 

3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, 
and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Set on 
c a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it : 

4 d Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every 
e good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder ; fill it with 
the choice bones. 

5 Take the f choice of the flock, and burn also the 
bones under it, and make it g boil well, and let him 
seethe the bones of it therein. 

6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, Wo to the 
h bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and 
whose ' scum is not gone out of it ! bring it out piece 
by piece ; k let no lot fall upon it. 

7 For her blood is in the midst of her ; she set it 
upon the l top of a rock ; she poured it not upon the 
ground to cover it with dust ; 

8 That it might cause fury to come up m to take 
vengeance ; I have set her blood upon the top of a 
rock, that it should not be covered. 

9 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Wo to the 
bloody city ! I will even make the pile for fire great. 

1 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, 
and spice "-it well, and let the bones be burnt. 

1 1 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that 
the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that 

oEzra9,n. the ° filthiness of it maybe molten in it, that the scum 
of it may be consumed. 

1 2 She hath wearied herself with p lies, and her 
great scum went not forth out of her : her scum shall 
be in the fire.

judgments upon Moab, fyc. 

6 For thus saith the Lord God, Because thou hast 
h clapped thy hands, and stamped with the feet, and 
rejoiced ' in heart with all thy despite against the land 
of Israel ; 

7 Behold, therefore, I will k stretch out my hand 
upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the hea- 
then ; and I will cut thee off from the people, and 1 will 
cause thee to perish out of the countries : I will destroy 
thee ; and thou shalt know that 1 am the Lord. 

8 Thus saith the Lord God, Because that ' Moab 
and m Seir do say, Behold, the n house of Judah is 
like unto all the heathen ; 

9 Therefore, behold, I will ° open the side of Moab 
from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, 
the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, 
and Kiriathaim, 

1 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, 
and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites 
may p not be remembered among the nations. 

1 1 And I will execute judgments upon Moab ; and 
they shall know that I am the Lord. 

12 Thus saith the Lord God, Because that Edom 
hath dealt against the house of Judah by q taking- 
vengeance, and hath greatly r offended, and revenged 
himself upon them : 

1 3 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, I will also 
stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will s cut off 
man and beast from it ; and I will make it. desolate 
from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the 
sword. 

14 And I will l lay my vengeance upon Edom by 
u the hand of my people Israel : and they shall do in 
Edom according to mine anger, and according to my 
fury ; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the 
Lord God. 

1 5 Thus saith the Lord God, Because the Philis- 
tines have dealt x by revenge, and have taken ven- 
geance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the 
1 old hatred ; 

16 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I 
will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and I 
will cut off the z Cherethims, and destroy the remnant 
of the sea-coast. 

1 7 And I will execute a great vengeance upon them 
with b furious rebukes ; and they shall know that I am

Jerusalem, b Aha, she is broken that urns the gates of 
the people ; she is turned c unto me ; I shall be re-

against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause d many nations 
to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves 
to come up. 

4 And they shall destroy the e walls of Tyrus, and 
break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust 
from her, and make her like the top of a rock. 

5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the 
f midst of the sea : for I have spoken it, saith the Lord 
God ; and it shall become a spoil to the nations. 

6 And her 6 daughters which are in the field shall 
be slain by the sword ; and they shall know that I am

8 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the

cause their terror to be on all that haunt it ! 

1 8 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy 
fall ; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be x troubled 
at thy departure. 

1 9 For thus saith the Lord God, When I shall make 
thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not in- 
habited ; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, 
and y great waters shall cover thee ; 

20 When I shall bring thee down with them that 
descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and 
shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places 
desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, 
that thou be not inhabited ; and I shall set 7 glory in 
the land of the living ; 

21 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be 'no

b entry of the sea, which art c a merchant of the people 
for many isles, Thus saith the Lord God, O Tyrus, 
thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty. 

4 Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy 
d builders have perfected thy beauty. 

5 They have made all thy s^?jt?-boards of fir-trees 
of e Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to 
make masts for thee. 

6 Of the f oaks of Bashan have they made thine 
oars ; the company of the Ashurites have made thy 
benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of g Chittim. 

7 Fine linen, with broidered work from Egypt, was 
that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail : blue 
and purple from the isles of h Elishah was that which 
covered thee. 

8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy 
mariners : thy ' wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee 
were thy pilots. 

9 The ancients of k Gebal, and the wise men thereof, 
were m thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea, 
with their mariners, were in thee to occupy thy mer- 
chandise. 

10 They of Persia, and of ' Lud, and of m Phut, 
were in thine army thy men of war : they hanged the 
shield and helmet in thee ; they set forth thy comeliness. 

1 1 The men of Arvad, with thine army, were upon 
thy walls round about, and the || Gammadims were in 
thy towers : they hanged their shields upon thy walls 
round about ; they have made thy beauty perfect. 

1 2 n Tarshish teas thy merchant by reason of the 
multitude of all kind of riches : with silver, iron, tin, 
and lead, they traded in thy fairs. 

1 3 ° Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy 
merchants : they traded the persons of men and vessels 
of brass in thy market. 

14 They of the house of p Togarmah traded in thy 
fairs with horses, and horsemen, and mules. 

1 5 The men of q Dedan were thy merchants ; many 
isles were the merchandise of thy hand : they brought 
thee for a present, horns of ivoiy and ebony. 

16 t Syria was thy merchant by reason of the mul- 
titude of the wares of thy making : they occupied in 
thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, 
and fine linen, and coral, and agate. 

17 r Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy 
merchants : they traded in thy market wheat of s Min- 
nith and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm. 

1 8 * Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude 
of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all 
riches ; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool. 

19" Dan also and Javan, going to and fro, occupied 
in thy fairs ; bright iron, x cassia, and calamus, were 
in thy market. 

20 y Dedan ?c-as thy merchant in precious clothes 
for chariots. 

21 z Arabia, and all the princes of a Kedar, they 
occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats ; in 
these were they thy merchants. 

22 The merchants of b Sheba and Raamah, they 
were thy merchants : they occupied in thy fairs with 
chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. 

23 c Haran, and d Canneh, and e Eden, the mer- 
chants of f Sheba, E Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy 
merchants. 

24 These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, 
in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of 
rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, 
among thy merchandise. 



25 The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy 
market ; and thou wast replenished, and made very 
glorious in the midst of the seas. 

26 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters : 
the h east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the 




seas. 



27 Thy ' riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy 
mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occu- 
piers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that 
are in thee, and in all thy company, which is in the 
midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in 
the day of thy ruin. 

28 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry 
of thy pilots. 

29 And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and 
all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their 
ships, they shall stand upon the land ; 

30 And shall cause their voice to be heard || against 
thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up k dust 
upon their heads; they shall wallow themselves in 
the ashes ; 

31 And they shall make themselves utterly ' bald 
for thee, and gird them with sackcloth ; and they shall 
weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter 
wailing. 

32 And in their wailing they shall take up a la- 
mentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, 
m What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the 
midst of the sea ? 

33 When thy n wares went forth out of the seas, 
thou filledst many people : thou didst enrich the kings 
of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of 
thy merchandise. 

34 In the time when thou shalt ° be broken by the 
seas in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise, and 
all thy company in the midst of thee, shall fall. 

35 All the inhabitants of the isles shall be p asto- 
nished at thee, and their q kings shall be sore afraid, 
they shall be troubled in their countenance. 

36 The merchants among the people shall r hiss at 
thee ; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be 8 any 
more. 

CHAP. XXVIII. 

1 God's judgment upon the prince of Tyrus for his impious 
pride. 20 The judgment of Zidon, 4*c. 

THE word of the Lord came again unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus 
saith the Lord God, Because a thy heart is lifted up, 
and thou hast said, h I am a god, I c sit in the seat of 
God, in the midst of the sea ; yet thou art a d man, 
and not God, though thou set thy heart as the heart 
of God : 

3 Behold, thou art e wiser than Daniel: there is 
f no secret that they can hide from thee : 

4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding 
thou hast 6 gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold 
and silver into thy treasures : 

5 By thy great wisdom, and by thy traffic, hast thou 
increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up h be- 
cause of thy riches : 

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, • Because 
thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God ; 

7 Behold, therefore, I will bring k strangers upon 
thee, the terrible of the nations : and they shall draw 
their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and 
they shall defile thy brightness. 

8 They shall bring thee down to the ' pit, and thou

shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst 
of the seas. 

9 Wilt thou m yet say before him that slayeth thee, 
I am God ? but thou shalt be a man, and no god, in 
the hand of him that slayeth thee. 

10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the n uncircumcised 
by the hand of strangers : for I have spoken it, saith 
the Lord God. 

11 TT Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

12 Son of man, "take up a lamentation upon the 
king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord 
God, Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and 
perfect in beauty. 

13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; 
every p precious stone toas thy covering, the sardius, 
topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the 
jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, 
and gold : the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy 
pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast 
created. 

14 Thou art the q anointed cherub that covereth 
and r I have set thee so : thou wast upon the holy 
mountain of God ; thou hast walked up and down in 
the midst of the stones of fire. 

1 5 Thou wast s perfect in thy ways from the day 
that thou wast created, ' till iniquity was found hi thee. 

16 By the u multitude of thy merchandise they have 
filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast 
sinned : therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the 
mountain of God ; and I will destroy thee, O covering 
cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 

1 7 Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty ; 
thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy 
brightness : I x will cast thee to the ground, I will lay 
thee before kings, that they may y behold thee. 

1 8 Thou hast defiled thy z sanctuaries by the mul- 
titude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic ; 
therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, 
it shall devour thee ; and I will bring thee to a ashes 
upon the earth, in the sight of all them that behold thee. 

1 9 All they that know thee among the people shall 
be astonished at thee : thou shalt be b a terror, and 
never shalt thou be any more. 

20 IT Again the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

21 Son of man, set thy face against c Zidon, and 
prophesy against it, 

22 And say, Thus saith the Lord God 5 Behold, I 
am against thee, O Zidon ; and I will be J glorified in 
the midst of thee : and they shall e know that I am 
the Lord, when I shall have executed judgments in 
her, and shall be sanctified in her. 

23 For I will send into her pestilence, and blood 
into her streets ; and the wounded shall be judged in 
the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side ; 
and they shall know that I am the Lord. 

24 IT And there shali be no more f a pricking brier 
unto the g house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of 
all that are round about them, that despised them ; 
and they shall know that I am the Lord God. 

25 Thus saith the Lord God, When I shall have 
gathered the h house of Israel from the people among 
whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in 
them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell 
in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob 

26 And they ' shall dwell safely therein, and shall 
build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall

1 The judgment of Pharaoh. 8 The desolation of Egypt. 
N the a tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth a <*• 26, 1. 
day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

. 2 Son of man, b set thy face against Pharaoh king b ch. 6, 2. 
of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and c against all cisa. 19, l. 
Egypt: i"' ' ' 

3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, Be- 
hold, u I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the dch.28,22 
great e dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, e P s - 74 < 13 
which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have 

made it for myself. 

4 But I will put r hooks in thy jaws, and I will f isa. 37,20. 
cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales ; c ap ' " 
and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, 

and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. 

5 And I will leave thee thrown into E the wilder- g2Sam. 13, 
ness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers : thou shalt fall p 9 ; 74, 14. 
upon the open fields ; thou shalt not be brought to- 
gether, nor gathered : I have given thee for meat to the 
beasts of h the field and to the fowls of the heaven. 

6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt ' shall know 
that I am the Lord, because they have been k a staff p 2 - 
of reed to the house of Israel. ; p 3 . 9, i&. 

7 When they ' took hold of thee by thy hand, thou 1 2 kings 
didst break, and rend all their shoulder : and when Is ^ 3]> 3 
they leaned upon thee thou m brakest, and madest all Lam. 4', 17 
their loins to be at a stand. 

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, D I 
will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and 
beast out of thee. 

9 And the land of Egypt shall be ° desolate and ° 4 Ps - 107 - 
waste ; and they shall know that I am the Lord : 
because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have 
made it. 

10 Behold, therefore, I am against thee, and against 

thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt p utterly p Jer. 50,39. 
waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even v ' ' 
unto the border of Ethiopia. 

1 1 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of 

beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be q inha- qisa.23,15 
bited forty years. & 46> 26 . 

12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in Dan. 8,21. 
the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her 

cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be 
desolate forty years : and I will r scatter the Egyp- 
tians among the nations, and will disperse them 
through the countries. 

13 Yet thus saith the Lord God, At the 9 end of jJ^Jf-g- 
forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people 
whither they were scattered : 

14 And I will bring again the ' captivity of Egypt, t isa. 19, 23. 
and I will cause them to return into the land of 
Pathros, into the land of their habitation ; and they 

shall be vhere a base kingdom. 

15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither 

shall it u exalt itself any more above the nations : for u 2 King. 
I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule ™^\ 37 
over the nations. 

16 And it shall be no more x the confidence of the x , Isa 7 3 "'- 1 
house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to re- c 
membrance, when they shall y look after them: but y 2Cbr » 6 - 
they shall know that I am the Lord God.

1 7 IT And it came to pass in the seven and twen- 
tieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the 
month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

10 Son of man, IN ebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 
caused his z army to serve a great service against 
Tyrus : every head was made bald, and every shoul- 
der was peeled : yet had he no wages, nor his army, 
for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it : 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, a I 
will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king 
of Babylon ; and he shall take her multitude, and take 
her spoil, and take her prey ; and it shall be the wages 
for his army. 

20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his b la- 
bour wherewith he served against it, because the)' 
wrought c for me, saith the Lord God. 

21 d In that day will I cause the horn of the house 
of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the e open- 
ing of the mouth in the midst of them ; and they shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

CHAP. XXX. 

The desolation of Egypt and her helpers. 
HE word of the Lord came again unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the 
Lord God, a Howl ye, b Wo worth the day ! 

3 For the day is c near, even the day of the Lord 
is near, a cloudy day ; it shall be the time of the 
d heathen. 

4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great 
pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in 
Egypt, and they shall take away e her multitude, and 
her f foundations shall be broken down. 

5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the 
s mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land 
that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. 

6 Thus saith the Lord, They also that h uphold 
Egypt shall fall ; and the ' pride of her power shall 
come down : from the tower of Syene shall they fall 
in it by the sword, saith the Lord God. 

7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the 
countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in 
the midst of the cities that are wasted. 

8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when 
1 have k set a fire in Egypt, and when all her ' helpers 
shall be destroyed. 

9 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in 
ships, to make the m careless Ethiopians afraid, n and 
great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of 
Egypt : for, lo, it ° cometh. 

1 Thus saith the Lord God, I will also make the 
multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebu- 
chadrezzar king of Babylon. 

11 p He and his people with him, the terrible of the 
nations; shall q be brought to destroy the land : and 
they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill 
the land with the slain. 

12 And I will make the rivers r dry, and sell the 
land into the hand of the s wicked ; and J will make 
the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of 
strangers : I the Lord have spoken it. 

13 Thus saith the Lord God, 1 will also destroy the 
idols, and I will cause their t images to cease out of 
Noph ; and there shall be no more a prince of the 
land of Egypt : and I will put a fear in the land of 
Egypt. 

14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set 
fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in * No. 



15 And I will u pour my fury upon Sin, the strength 
of Egypt ; and I will cut off the multitude of No. 

1 6 And I will set x fire in Egypt : Sin shall have 
great, pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph 
shall have distresses daily. 

1 7 The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall 
fall by the sword : and these cities shall go into 
captivity. 

1 8 At y Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, 
when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt : and the 
pomp of her strength shall cease in her : as for her, a 
cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into 
captivity. 

19 z Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt ; and 
they a shall know that I am the Lord. 

20 IT And it came to pass in b the eleventh year, in 
the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that 
the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

21 Son of man, I have c broken the arm of Pharaoh 
king of Egypt ; and, lo, it shall d not be bound up to be 
healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to 
hold the sword. 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I 
am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will e break 
his arms, the strong, and that which was broken ; and 
I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. 

23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the 
nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 

24 And I will f strengthen the arms of the king of 
Babylon, and put g my sword in his hand : but I will 
break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall h groan before him 
with the groanings of a deadly- wounded man. 

25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of 
Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down ; 
and they shall ' know that I am the Lord, when I shall 
put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, 
and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. 

26 And I will k scatter the Egyptians among the 
nations, and disperse them among the countries ; and 
they shall know that I am the Lord. 

CHAP. XXXI. 

A recital unto Pharaoh of the glory of Assyria. 

ND it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the 
third month, in the first day of the month, that 
the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, 
and to his multitude ; a Whom art thou like in thy 
greatness ? 

3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon 
with fair branches, and with b a shadowing shroud, 
and of a high stature ; and his top was among the 
thick boughs. 

4 The c waters made him great, the deep set him 
up on high with her rivers running round about his

of the field. 

5 Therefore his height was exalted e above all the 
trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and 
his branches became long, because of the multitude 
of waters, when he shot forth. 

6 All the f fowls of heaven made their nests in his 
boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of 
the field bring forth their young, and under his g shadow 
dwelt all great nations. 

7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length 
of his branches : for his root was by great waters. 

8 The cedars in the h garden of God could not hide 
him : the fir-trees were not like his boughs, and the

The fall of Assyria. 

chesnut-trees were not like his branches ; nor any tree 
in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. 

9 * I have made him fair by the multitude of his 
branches : so that all the trees of Eden, that were in 
the garden of God, k envied him. 

10 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because thou 
hast ' lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up 
his top among tlie thick boughs, and his heart is lifted 
up in his height ; 

11 m I have, therefore, delivered him into the hand 
of the mighty one of the heathen ; he shall surely u deal 
with him : I have driven him out for his wickedness. 

12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have 
cut him off, and have left him : upon the mountains 
and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his 
boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land ; and 
all the people of the earth are gone down from his 
shadow, and have left him. 

1 3 Upon his ruin shall all ° the fowls of the heaven 
remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon 
his branches : 

1 4 p To the end that none of all the trees by the 
waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot 
up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees 
stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they 
are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the 
earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them 
that go down to the pit. 

15 Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when he 
went down to the grave I caused a mourning : q I 
covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods 
thereof, and the great waters were stayed ; and I 
caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees 
of the field fainted for him. 

16 1 made the nations to shake at the sound of his 
fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that 
descend into the pit : and all the trees of Eden, the 
choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall 
be r comforted in the nether parts of the earth. 

1 7 They also went down into hell with him, unto 
them that be slain with the sword ; and they that were 
his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of 
the heathen. 

1 8 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in great- 
ness among the trees of Eden ? yet shalt thou be 
brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether 
parts of Ihe earth : thou shalt lie in the midst of the 
uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword 
9 This is Pharaoh, and all his multitude, saith the Lord 
God.

A lamentation for the fearful fall of Egypt.

twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that 
the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, take up a a lamentation for Pharaoh 
king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art b like a 
young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in 
the seas ; and thou earnest forth with thy rivers, and 
troubledst the c waters with thy feet, and u fouledst 
their rivers. 

3 Thus saith the Lord God, I will, therefore, spread 
out my * net over thee with a company of many peo- 
ple : and they shall r bring thee up in my net, 

4 Then will 1 leave thee upon the land, 1 will cast 
thee forth upon the 8 open field, and will cause all h the 
fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will

the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. 

13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from 

beside the great waters ; neither shall the * foot of man t ch. 29, 11. 
trouble them anymore, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble 
them.

25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the

CHAP. XXXIII. 

God sheweth the justice of his ways toward the penitent. 

AGAIN the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, speak to the children of a thy peo- 
ple, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon 
a land, if the people of the land take a man of their 
coasts, and set him for their b watchman : 

3 If, when he c seeth the sword come upon the 
land, he blow the trumpet, and d warn the people ; 

4 Then whosoever e heareth the sound of the trum- 
pet, and taketh not warning ; if the sword come and 
take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not 
warning, f his blood shall be upon him : but he that 
s taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 

6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and 
blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned ; 
if the sword come and take any person from among 
them, he is taken away b in his iniquity ; but his blood 
will I require at the watchman's hand. 

7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watch- 
man unto the house of Israel •, therefore thou shalt 
hear the word ' at my mouth, and warn them from me. 

8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, 
thou shalt surely die ; if thou dost not speak to warn 
the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die 
in his iniquity ; but his blood will I require at thy hand. 

9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to 
turn from it ; if he do not turn from his way, he shall 
die in his iniquity ; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

EZEKIEL. The justice of God^s ways. 

1 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the 
house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, k If our trans- 
gressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away 
in them, ' how should we then live ? 

1 1 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, 
I have m no pleasure in the death of the wicked ; 
" but that the wicked turn from his way and live : 
turn ye, turn ye, from your evil ways ; for why will 
ye die, O house of Israel ? 

1 2 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the chil- 
dren of thy people, The righteousness of the ° right- 
eous shall not deliver him in the day of his trans- 
gression : as for the wickedness of the wicked, he 
shall not fall thereby in the day that he p turneth from 
his wickedness ; neither shall the righteous be able to 
live for his righteousness in the day that he q sinneth. 

13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall 
surely r live ; if he s trust to his own righteousness 
and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not 
be remembered ; but for his iniquity that he hath com- 
mitted, he shall die for it. 

14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt 
surely l die ; if he turn from his sin, and do that which 
is u lawful and right ; 

15 If the wicked x restore the pledge, give again 
that he hath robbed, walk in y the statutes of life, 
without committing iniquity ; he shall surely live, he 
shall not die. 

1 6 None of his sins that he hath committed shall 
be z mentioned unto him : he hath done that which is 
lawful and right ; he shall surely live. 

1 7 Yet the children of thy people say, The a way 
of the Lord is not equal : but, as for them, their way 
is not equal. 

1 8 When the righteous b turneth from his right- 
eousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die 
thereby. 

19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, 
and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live 
thereby. 

20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. 
O ye house of Israel, I will c judge you d every one 
e after his ways. 

21 IT And it came to pass in f the twelfth year of 
our captivity, in the g tenth month, in the fifth day of 
the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem 
came unto me, saying, The city is smitten. 

22 Now the h hand of the Lord was upon me in 
the evening, afore he that was escaped came, and 
had ' opened my mouth, until he came to me in the 
morning, and my mouth was opened, and I was no 
more dumb. 

23 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of 
the land of Israel speak, saying, k Abraham was one, kjsa. 51, i 
and he inherited the land : but 
land is given us for inheritance.

brought again that which was driven away, neither 
have ye sought that which was f lost ; but with E force 
and with cruelty have ye ruled them. 

5 And they were scattered, because there is h no 
shepherd : and they became meat to all the beasts of 
the field when they were scattered. 

6 My sheep ' wandered through all the mountains, 
and upon every high hill : yea, my flock was scattered 
upon all the face of the earth, and none did k search 
or seek after them. 

7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the 
Lord ; 

8 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because 
my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat 
to every beast of the field, because there was no shep- 
herd, neither did my ' shepherds search for my flock, 
but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my 
flock: 

9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the 
Lord ; 

10 Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, m l am 
against the shepherds ; and I will D require my flock 
at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding 
the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves 
any more : for 1 will deliver my flock from their 
mouth, that they may not be meat for them. 

1 1 For thus saith the Lord God, Behold I, even I, 
will both ° search my sheep, and seek them out. 



Tlie blessi7igs of Christ's kingdom. 

12 p As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day Before 
that he is among his sheep that are scattered ; so will C ™ IST 
I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all v -^-v^^-' 
places where they have been scattered in the q cloudy S hnio'ii 
and dark day. l Pet. i, 3. 

13 And I will bring them out from the people, and j^f k ? ' 
gather them from the countries, and will bring them 

to their r own land, and feed them upon the mountains r Jer. 3, is. 
of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places f n 2 37 8 2i 
of the country. 

1 4 I will feed them s in a good pasture, and upon 
the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there 
shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall 
they feed upon the mountains of Israel. 

15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to f Peter 2, k 
' lie down, saith the Lord God. t Song l, 7. 

1 6 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again 
that which was driven away, and will hind up that 
which was broken, and will strengthen that wh'ch was 
sick : but I will destroy u the fat and the strong ; I 
will feed them with x judgment.

1 8 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have z eaten 
up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with 
your feet the residue of your pastures ? and to have 
drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue 
with your feet ? 

1 9 And as for my flock, they eat that which ye 
have trodden with your feet ; and they drink that 
which ye have fouled with your feet. 

20 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God unto them, 
Behold I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and 
between the lean cattle. 

21 Because ye have thrust with side and with 
shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, 
till ye have scattered them abroad ; 

22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall 
no more be a prey ; and I will judge between cattle 
and cattle. 

23 And I will set up a one Shepherd over them, 
and he shall feed them, even my b servant David ; he 
shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. 

24 And I the Lord will be their God, and my ser- 
vant David c a prince

CHAP. XXXV. 

The judgment of mount Seir for their hatred of Israel. 

MOREOVER, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

2 Son of man, a set thy face against b mount Seir, 
and c prophesy against it, 

3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God, Be- 
hold, O mount Seir, lam d against thee, and 1 will 
stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make 
thee most desolate. 

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be 
desolate ; and thou shalt e know that I am the Lord. 

5 Because thou hast had f a perpetual hatred, and 
hast g shed the blood of the children of Israel by the 
force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the 
time that their iniquity had an end : 

6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will 
b prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee : 
sith thou hast ' not hated blood, even blood shall 
pursue thee. 

7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and 
cut off from it him that k passeth out, and him thaf 
returneth. 

And T will ' fill his mountains with his slain men : 
in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, 
shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 

9 I will make thee m perpetual desolations, and thy 
cities shall n not return ; and ye shall know that I am 
the Lord. 

10 Because thou hast said, ° These two nations, 
and these two countries, shafl be mine, and we will 
possess it ; whereas p the Lord was there : 

1 1 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will 
even do q according to thine anger, and according to 
thine envy, which thou hast used out of thy hatred 
against them ; and I will make myself known r among 
them, when I have judged thee. 

12 And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and 
that I have s heard all thy blasphemies which thou 
hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, 
They are laid desolate, they are given us to con- 
sume. 

1 3 Thus with your mouth ye have * boasted against 
me, and have multiplied your words against me : I 
have heard them. 

14 Thus saith the Lord God, When the whole 
earth u rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. 

15 x As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the 
house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do 
unto thee : thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and 
all Idumea, even all of it ; and they shall know that I 
am the Lord.

taken up in the e lips of talkers, and are an infamy of 
the people : 

4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word 
of the Lord God ; Thus saith the Lord God to the 
mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the 
valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that 
are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to 
the residue of the heathen that are round about ; 

5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Surely in 
the f fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the re- 
sidue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which 
have appointed s my land into their possession with 
the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast 
it out for a prey. 

6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, 
and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the 
rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord God ; 
Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, 
because ye have borne the h shame of the heathen : 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; I have lifted *„ 34 29 
up my hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, 
they shall * bear their shame. 

8 IF But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall k shoot 
forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Ar " 0: 
of Israel ; for they are at hand to come. 

9 For behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto 

you, and ye shall ? be tilled and sown : 1 Joel 3, is. 

10 And I will m multiply men upon you, n all the mJer. 31, 
house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be ^ 37 ]0 
inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded : Hu=eai',u! 

1 1 And I will multiply upon you man and beast ; E v h - 2, 18. 
and they shall increase and bring fruit : and I will 

settle you after your old estates, and will p do better o obadiah, 
unto you than at your beginnings : and ve shall know ve /- 19 - m 

iliTiUT plsa.24,23. 

that 1 am the Lord. 

1 2 Yea, I will cause q men to walk upon you, even 
my people Israel ; and they shall possess thee, and 
thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt r no 
more henceforth bereave them of men. 

1 3 Thus saith the Lord God ; Because they say 
unto you, Thou land s devourest up men, and hast 
bereaved thy nations ; 

1 4 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, nei- 
ther * bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord 
God. 

1 5 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the 
shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou 

bear "the reproach of the people anymore, neither uisa.49,23. 
shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith Ze P h - 3 > i9 - 
the Lord God. 

1 6 f Moreover the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

1 7 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in 

their own land, they x defiled it by their own way and x Jer. 2, 7. 
by their doings : their way was before me y as the y Lev. 15, 
uncleanness of a removed woman. 19 - 

1 8 Wherefore I z poured my fury upon them for the % Ps. 79, 6. 
a blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their a Isa - '- 1S - 
t idols wherewith they had polluted it : LJ^gwfa. 

19 And h I scattered them among the heathen, and Lev. 26,30. 
they were dispersed through the countries : according to b Isa - 5 ' 5l 
their way and according to their doings 1 judged them. 

20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whi- c Isa ^ 5i 
ther they went, they profaned c my holy name, when Rom. 2, 24. 
they said to them, (1 These are the people of the Lord, ^ 5 Lam - 2>

21 If But I had pity e for my holy name, which the 
house of Tsrael had profaned among the heathen, 
whither they went. 

22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus 
saith the Lord God ; I do not this f for your sakes, O 
house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which 
ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye 
went. 

23 And I will g sanctify my great name, which was 
profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned 
in the midst of them ; and the heathen shall know that 
I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be 
sanctified in you before their eyes. 

24 For I will h take you from among the heathen, 
iisa. 11,12. and gather you out of all countries, and will 'bring 

you into your own land. 

25 IT Then will I k sprinkle clean water upon you, 
and ye shall be clean : from all your ' filthiness, and 
from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 

26 m A new heart also will I give you, and a new 
spirit will I put within you : and I will take away the 
stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a 
heart of flesh. 

3- 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and D cause 
you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my 
judgments, and do them. 

28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to 
i. your fathers ; and ye shall be ° my people, and I will 
' be your God. 

I- 29 I will also p save you from all your unclean- 
ly nesses : and I will q call for the corn, and will in- 
crease it, and lay no famine upon you. 
7 - 30 And I will r multiply the fruit of the tree, and 
the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more 
reproach of famine among the heathen. 

3 1 s Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, 
and your doings that were not good, and shall l loathe 
yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities, and 
for your abominations. 

32 u Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord 
God, be it known unto you : be ashamed and con- 
founded for your own ways, O house of Israel. 

33 Thus saith the Lord God ; In the day that 1 
shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities, I will 

i J lo' o' 18 ' a ' so CHUse I) 011 to * dwell in the cities, and the wastes 
shall be builded. 

34 And the desolate land shall be y tilled, whereas 
it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. 

3.5 And z they shall say, This land that was deso- 
late is become like the a garden of Eden ; and the 
waste, and desolate, and ruined cities, are become 
fenced, and are inhabited. 

36 Then the heathen, that are left round about you, 
bAmos4,7. shall b know that I the Lord build the ruined places, 

and plant that that was desolate : I the Lord have 
cch. 27,24. c spoken it, and I will do it. 

37 Thus saifbthe Lord God, I will yet for this be 
A inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them ; 
I will increase them e with men like a flock. 

38 As the f holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in 
her solemn feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled 
with flocks of men ; and they shall know that I am

The resurrection of dry 

me down in the midst of the valley which was c full of 
bones, 

2 And caused me to pass by them round about : 
and, behold, there were very many in the open valley ; 
and, lo, they were very dry. 

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, *' can these 
bones live ? And I answered, O Lord God, " thou 
knowest. 

4 Again he said unto me, f Prophesy upon these 
bones, and say unto them, g O ye diy bones, hear the 
word of the Lord. 

5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones, Be- 
hold, h I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye 
shall live : 

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring 
up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put 
breath in you, and ye shall live ; and ye shall know 
that I am the Lord. 

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded : and ' as 
1 prophesied there was a noise, and, behold, k a sha- 
king, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh 
came up upon them, and the skin covered them 
above : but there was no breath in them. 

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the ' wind, 
prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith 
the Lord God, Come from the m four winds, O breath, 
and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 

10 So I prophesied, as he commanded me, and the 
breath came into them, and they lived, and " stood up 
upon their feet, ° an exceeding great army. 

1 1 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones 
are the p whole house of Israel : behold they say, Our 
bones q are dried, and our hope is lost ; we are r cut off 
for our parts. 

1 2 Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God, Behold, O my people, I will 

- open your graves, and cause you to come up out of 
your graves, and bring you into the l land of Israel. 

1 3 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I 
have opened your graves, O my people, and brought 
you up out of your graves, 

14 And shall u put my Spirit in you, and ye shall 
live; and I shall place you in your own land: then 
shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and 
performed it, saith the Lord. 

15 IT The word of the Lord came again unto me, 
saying, 

16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, 
and write upon it, For s Judah, and for the children 
of Israel his companions : then take anothor stick, 
and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, 
andybr all the house of Israel his companions : 

17 And y join them one to another into one stick ; 
and they shall become z one in thy hand. 

18 And when the children of a thy people shall 
speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what 
thou meanest by these 1 

19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Be- 
hold, b I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the 
hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, 
and will put them with him, even with the stick of 
Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be 
one in my hand. 

20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in 
thy hand c before; their eyes. 

21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, 
Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among

have been always waste : but it is brought forth out of 
the nations, and they shall dwell m safely all of them.

shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou and all

mind, and thou shalt think ° an evil thought :

them riding upon horses, a great company, and a ° 
mighty army : 

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of 
Israel as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the 
"latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, xDan.12,1 
that the heathen may know me, when I shall be 
y sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. 

17 Thus saith the Lord God, Art thou he z of 
whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the 
prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days Dan 6 'i2^i 
many years, that I would bring thee against them ? 

1 8 And it shall come to pass at the same time, when 
Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the 
Lord God, that my fury shall come a up in my face. 

1 9 For in my jealousy, and in the fire of my wrath, 
have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be b 
great shaking in the land of Israel ; 

20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the 
heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping 
things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that 
are upon the face of the earth, c shall shake at my 
presence ; and the mountains shall be thrown down, 
and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall 
fall to the ground. 

21 And I will d call for a sword against him through- d Ps. 75, a. 
out all my mountains, saith the Lord God : every 
man's sword shall be e against his brother. e Judg. 7, 

22 And I will f plead against him with pestilence f chr w

his bands, and upon the many people that are with ^ech'if'a! 
him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire and 5 
brimstone. 

23 Thus will I h magnify myself, and sanctify my- 
self; and I will be known in the eyes of many na- 
tions ; and they ' shall know that I am the Lord.

4 Thou shalt d fall upon the mountains of Israel, 
thou, and all thy bauds, and the people that is with 
thee : I will give thee unto the e ravenous birds of every 
sort, and to the beasts of the field, to be devoured. 

5 Thou shalt fall upon the t open field ; for 1 have 
spoken it, saith the Lord God. 

6 And I will send f a fire on Magog, and among 
them that dwell carelessly in the % isles ; and they shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst 
of my people Israel ; and I will not let them h pollute 
my holy name any more ; and the heathen shall know 
that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. 

8 Behold, ' it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord 
God ; this k is the day whereof I have spoken. 

9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall 
1 go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, 
both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the 
arrows, and the hand-staves and the spears, and they 
shall m burn them with fire seven years. 

1 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, 
neither cut down any out of the forests ; for they shall 
burn the weapons with fire : and they shall n spoil 
those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed 
them, saith the Lord God. 

1 1 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will 
give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the 
valley of the passengers on the ° east of the sea ; and 
it shall stop the noses of the passengers : and there 
shall they bury Gog, and all his multitude ; and they 
shall call it, The valley of || Hamon-gog. 

1 2 And seven months shall the house of Israel be 
burying of them, that they may p cleanse the land. 

13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them ; 
and it shall be to them t a renown, the day that 1 shall 
be q glorified, saith the Lord God. 

1 4 And they shall r sever out men of continual em- 
ployment, passing through the land, to bury with the 
passengers those that remain upon the face of the 
earth, to cleanse it : after the end of seven months 
shall they search. 

1 5 And the passengers that pass through the land, 
when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a 
sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley 
of Hamon-gog. 

1 6 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. 
Thus shall they cleanse the land. 

17 IT And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord 
God, Speak unto eveiy feathered fowl, and to every 
beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come ; 
gather yourselves on eveiy side to my 8 sacrifice that 
I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the 
mountains of Israel, that ye may l eat flesh, and drink 
blood. 

1 8 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink 
the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of 
lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them u fatlings 
of Bashan. 

19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink 
blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have 
sacrificed for you. 

20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with x horses 
and chariots, t with mighty men, and with all men of 
war, saith the Lord God. 

21 y And I will set my glory among the heathen, 
and all the heathen shall z see my judgment that 1 
have executed, and a my hand that I have laid upon 
them.

Israel went into captivity for their b iniquity : because 
they trespassed against me, c therefore hid I my face

The time, manner, and end of Ezekiel's vision. 

SN the a five and twentieth year of our captivity, in 
the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the 
month, in the fourteenth year b after that the city was 
smitten, in the self-same day the c hand of the Lord 
was upon me, and brought me thither. 

2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land 
of Israel, and set me upon d a very high mountain, 
by which teas as the frame of e a city on the south. 

3 And he brought me thither, and. behold, there 
ivas f a man, whose appearance was like the appear- 
ance of g brass, with h a line of flax in his hand, and 
1 a measuring-reed ; and he stood k in the gate. 

4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold 
with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and ' set 
thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee ; for to the 
intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou 
brought hither : declare all that thou seest to the house 
of Israel. 

5 And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house 
round about, and in the man's hand a measuring-reed 
of six cubits long, by the cubit ; and a hand-breadth : 
so he measured m the breadth of the building one reed, 
and the n height one reed. 

6 Then came he unto the "gate which looketh to- 
ward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and 
measured the p threshold of the gate, which was one 
reed broad, and the other threshold of the gate, winch 
was one reed broad. 

7 And every q little chamber was one reed long, and qJohiiW.-2. 
one reed broad ; and between the little chambers were 

five cubits ; and the threshold of the gate, by the porch 
of the gate within, Was one reed. 

8 He measured also the porch of the gate r within, rJoeI3,ll 
one reed. 

9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eighl 
cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the 
porch of the gate was inward.

were three on this side, and three on that side ; they 
three were of one measure : and the posts had one 
measure on this side and on that side. 

1 1 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the 
gate, ten cubits ; and the length of the gate, thirteen 
cubits. 

12 The space also before the little chambers was 
one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on 
that side ; and the little chambers were six cubits on 
this side, and six cubits on that side. 

1 3 He measured then the gate from the roof of one 
little chamber to the roof of another : the breadth was 
five and twenty cubits, door against door. 

1 4 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even 
unto the post of the 3 court round about the gate. 

1 5 And from the face of the gate of the entrance, 
unto the face of the porch of the inner gate, were fifty 
cubits. 

1 6 And there were t narrow windows to the little 
chambers, and to their posts within the gate round 
about, and likewise to the arches ; and windows were 
round about inward : and upon each post were palm- 
trees. 

1 7 Then brought he me into the outward court, and, 
lo. there were t chambers, and a pavement made for 
the court round about : thirty chambers were upon the 
" pavement. 

18 And the pavement by the side of the gates, 
over against the length of the gates, was the x lower 
pavement. 

1 9 Then he measured the breadth, from the fore-

20 And the gate of the outward court, that tlooked

the breadth thereof. 

21 And the little chambers thereof were three on 
this side, and three on that side ; and the posts thereof, 
and the arches thereof, were after the measure of the 
first gate : the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the 
breadth five and twenty cubits. 

22 And their windows, and their arches, and their 
palm-trees, were after the measure of the gate that 
looketh towards the east ; and they y went up unto it 
by seven steps ; and the arches thereof were before 
them.

the gate toward the north, and toward the east ; and

thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these

and five and twenty cubits broad. 

30 And the |j arches round about were five and 
twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad : 

31 And the arches thereof were toward the outer 
court ; and c palm-trees were upon the posts thereof : 
and the going up to it had eight steps. 

32 And he brought me into the inner court toward 
the east : and he measured the gate according to these 
measures. 

33 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts 
thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to these 
measures ; and there were windows therein, and in the 
arches thereof round about : it was fifty cubits long, 
and five and twenty cubits broad. 

34 And the arches thereof were toward the outward 
court ; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, and 
on this side and on that side : and the going up to it 
had d eight steps. 

35 And he brought me to the north gate, and mea- 
sured it according to these measures : 

36 The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, 
and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round 
about : the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth 
five and twenty cubits. 

37 And the posts thereof were toward the outer court ; 
and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, 
and on that side : and the going up to it had eight steps. 

38 And the chambers, and the entries thereof, were 
by the posts of the gates, where they e washed the 
burnt-offering. 

39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on 
this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon 
the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the f tres- 
pass-offering. 

40 And at the side without, as one goeth up to the 
entry of the north gate, were two tables ; and on the 
other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were 
two tables. 

41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on 
that side, by the side of the gate ; eight tables, where- 
upon they slew their sacrifices. 

42 And the four tables were of hewn stone for the 
burnt-ofTering, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit 
and a half broad, and one cubit high : whereupon 
also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew 
the burnt-ofTering and the sacrifice. 

43 And within were hooks, a hand broad, fastened 
round about : and upon the tables was the flesh of the 
offering. 

44 And without the inner gate were the chambers 
of the g singers in the inner court, which was at the 
side of the north gate ; and their prospect was toward 
the south ; one at the side of the east gate, having 
the prospect toward the north. 

45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose 
prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the 
11 keepers of the charge of the house. 

46 And the chamber whose prospect is toward the 
north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of 
the ' altar : these are the sons of k Zadok, among the 
sons of Levi, which come ' near to the Lord to 
minister unto him. 

47 So he measured the court, a hundred cubits 
long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare, and the 
altar that was before the house.

48 And he brought me to m the porch of the house, 
and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on 
this side, and five cubits on that side : and the breadth 
of the gate was three cubits on tliis side, and three 
cubits on that side. 

49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and 
the breadth eleven cubits : and he brought me by the 
steps whereby they went up to it ; and there were 
n pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on 
that side. 

CHAP. XLI. 

The measures, parts, chambers, and ornaments of the temple. 

AFTERWARD a he brought me to the b temple, 
and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the 
one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which 
was the c breadth of the tabernacle. 

2 And the breadth of the d door was ten cubits ; 
and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one 
side, and five cubits on the other side ; and he mea- 
sured the e length thereof, forty cubits, and the breadth, 
twenty cubits. 

3 Then went he inward, and measured the post of 
the door two cubits, and the door six cubits, and the 
breadth of the door seven cubits. 

4 So he measured the length thereof, f twenty cu- 
bits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple; 
and he said unto me, Tliis is the most holy place* 

5 After he measured the wall of the house six 
cubits ; and the breadth of every g side-chamber four 
cubits, round about the house on every side. 

6 And the side-chambers were three, one over 
another, and thirty in order ; and they h entered into 
the wall, which was of the house for the side-cham- 
bers round about, that they might have hold, but they 
had not hold in the wall of the house. 

7 And there was an enlarging and a winding about 
still upward to the side-chambers ; for the winding 
about of the house went still upward round about the 
house : therefore the breadth of the house was still 
upward, and so ' increased from the lowest chamber 
to the highest by the midst. 

8 I saw also the height of the house round about : 
the foundations of the side-chambers were a full reed 
of six great cubits. 

9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the 
side-chamber without, was five cubits ; and that which 
vias left was the place of the side-chambers that were 
within. 

1 And between the chambers was the wideness 
of twenty cubits round about the house on every side. 

1 1 And the doors of the side-chambers were toward 
the place that vms left, k one door toward the north, 
and another door toward the south : and the breadth 
of the place that was left was five cubits round about. 

1 2 Now the building that was before the separate 
place, at the end toward the west, was seventy cubits 
broad ; and the wall of the building was five cubits 
thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits. 

13 So he measured the house, a hundred cubits 
long ; and the separate place, and the building, with 
the walls thereof, a hundred cubits long; 

1 4 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and 
of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits. 

1 5 And he measured the length of the building over 
against the separate place which zvas behind it, and 
the ' galleries thereof on the one side, and on the other 
side, a hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the 
porches of the court ;

16 The door-posts, and the m narrow windows, and 
the galleries round about on their three stories, over 
against the door, ceiled with wood round about, and 
from the ground up to the windows, and the windows 
were covered ; 

17 To that above the door, even unto the inner 
house and without, and by all the wall round about, 
within and without, by measure. 

1 8 And it was made with cherubims and " palm- 
trees, so that a palm-tree was between a cherub and 
a cherub ; and every ° cherub had two faces ; 

1 9 So that the p face of a man was toward the 
palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young 
lion toward the palm-tree on the other side : it was 
made through all the house round about. 

20 From the ground unto above the door were 
cherubims and palm-trees made, and on the wall of 
the temple. 

21 The q posts of the temple were squared, and the q Uv- .4. 6 
face of the sanctuary ; the appearance of the one as p s ^' <£?*. 
the appearance of the other. 

22 The r altar of wood was B three cubits high, 
and the length thereof two cubits ; and the corners 
thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, 
were of wood : and he said unto me, This is the 
1 table that is before the Lord. 

23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors. 

24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turn- 
ing leaves ; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves 
for the other door. 

25 And there were made on them, on the " doors of uJohni«,7 
the temple, cherubims and palm-trees, like as were 
made upon the walls; and there were thick planks 
upon the face of the porch without. 

26 And there were narrow windows and palm-trees 
on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of 
the porch, and upon the x side-chambers of the house, 
and thick planks.

1 The chambers for the priests : 13 Tlie use thereof. 
HEN a he brought me forth into the b outer court, 
the way toward the north, and he brought me 
into the c chamber that was over against the separate 
place, and which was before the building toward the 
north. 

2 Before the length of a hundred cubits was the 
north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. 

3 Over against the twenty cubits which were for 
the inner court, and over against the pavement which 
was for the outer court, was t gallery against gallery 
in three stories. 

4 And before the chambers was d 
cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit : and their 
doors toward the north. 

5 Now, the upper chambers were shorter : for the 
galleries were e higher than these, than the lower, and 
than the middlemost of the building. 

6 For they were in three stories, but had not pillars 33. ' 
as the pillars of the courts : therefore the building j ,< 
was straitened more than the lowest and the middle- 
most from the ground. 

7 And the f wall that was without over against the 
chambers, toward the outer court on the forepart of 
the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits. 

8 For the length of the chambers that were in the

ple were a hundred cubits.

on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer 
court. 

1 The chambers were in the thickness of the wall 
of the court toward the east, over against the separate 
place, and over against the building. 

1 1 And the way before them was like the appear- 
ance of the chambers which were toward the north, 
as long as they, and -63 broad as they ; and all their 
goings-out were both according to their fashions, and 
according to their doors- 

12 And according io the doors of the chambers 
that were toward the south was a door in the head of 
the way, even the way directly before the wall toward 
the east, as one entereth into them. 

13 Then said he unto me, The north chambers 
and the south chambers, which are before the separate 
place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that 
approach unto the Lord shall g eat the most hoi}' 
things : there shall they lay the most holy things, and 
the meat-offering, and the sin-offering, and the tres- 
pass-offering ; for the place is holy. 

14 When the priests enter therein, then shall they 
not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but 
there they shall lay their b garments wherein they 
minister ; for they are holy ; and shall put on other 
garments, and shall approach to those things which 
are for the people. 

1 5 Now, wnen he had made an end of measuring 
the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate 
whose prospect is toward the east, and ' measured it 
round about. 

16 He measured the east side with the measuring- 
reed, five hundred reeds, with the k measuring-reed 
round about. 

1 7 He measured the north side five hundred reeds, 
with the measuring-reed round about. 

18 He measured the south side five hundred reeds, 
with the measuring-reed. 

19 He turned about to the west side, and measured 
five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed. 

20 He measured it by the four sides : it had a wall 
round about five hundred reeds long, and five hundred 
broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary 
and the profane place. 

GHAP. XLIII. 

1 The glory of the Lord returneth into the temple. 13 The 
measures and ordinances of the altar. 

AFTERWARD he brought me to the gate, even 
the gate that looketh toward the east : 

2 And, behold, a the glory of the God of Israel 
came from the way of the east ; and his b voice was 
like a noise of many waters : and the c earth shined 
with his glory. 

3 And it was d according to the appearance of the 
vision which I saw, even according to the vision that 
I saw when I came e to destroy the city ; ana the 
visions were like the vision that I saw by the river 
Chebar ; and I fell upon rny face. 

4 And the glory of the Lord came into the house, 
by the way of the gate whose t prospect is toward 
the east. 

5 So the f spirit took me up, and brought me into 
the inner court ; and, behold, the glory of the Lord 
filled the house. 

6 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the 
house ; and the man stood by me. 

7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of j 
g my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, I 



where I will h dwell in the midst of the children of 
Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of 
Israel ' no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, 
by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings 
in their high places ; 

8 In their setting of their k threshold by my thresh- 
olds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between 
me and them ; they have even defiled my holy name 
by their abominations that they have committed : 
wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. 

9 ' Now let them put away their whoredom, and 
the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will 
dwell in the midst of them for ever. 

1 Thou son of man, m shew the house to the house 
of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities ; 
and let them measure the pattern. 

1 1 And if they be ashamed of all that they have 
done, n shew them the form of the house, and the fashion 
thereof, and the goings-out thereof, and the comings- 
in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordi- 
nances thereof; and all the forms thereof, and all the 
laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may 
keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances 
thereof, and do them. 

1 2 This is the law of the house ; Upon the t top of 
the mountain, the ° whole limit thereof round about 
shall be p most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house. 

1 3 And these are the measures of the i altar after 
the cubits : The cubit is a cubit and a hand-breadth ; 
even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a 
cubit, and the border thereof bj* the edge thereof round 
about shall be a span : and this shall be the higher 
place of the altar. 

1 4 And from the bottom vpon the ground even to 
the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth 
one cubit ; and from the lesser settle even to the greater 
settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit. 

1 5 So the altar shall be four cubits ; and from the 
altar and upward shall be four horns. 

16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve 
broad, square in the four squares thereof. 

1 7 And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long, and 
fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the 
border about it shall be half a cubit ; and the bottom 
thereof shall be a cubit about ; and his r stairs shall 
look toward the east. 

1 8 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the 
Lord God, These are the ordinances of the altar in 
the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt- 
offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon. 

19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites 
that be of the s seed of Zadok, which approach unto 
me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord God, a young 
bullock for t a sin-offering. 

20 And thou shalt take of the u blood thereof, and 
put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners 
of the settle, and upon the border round about : thus 
shalt thou cleanse and purge it. 

21 Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin-offer- 
ing, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the 
house, x without the sanctuary. 

22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of 
the goats without blemish for a sin-offering ; and they 
shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the 
bullock. 

23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, 
thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and 
a ram out of the flock without blemish.

24 And thou shalt offer them before the Lord, and

25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat 
for a sin-offering : they shall also prepare a young

2^ Seven days shall the}' purge the altar, and purify

27 And when these days are expired, it shall be, 
that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests 
shall make your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and 
your z peace-offerings ; and I will a accept you, saith 
the Lord God. 

CHAP. XLIV. 

The priests reproved for polluting of the sanctuary. 

THEN he brought me back the way of the gate 
of the outward sanctuary, which looketh toward 
the east, and it was shut. 

2 Then said the Lord unto me, This gate shall be 
a shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter 
in by it ; because the Lord, the God of Israel, b hath 
entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. 

3 It is for the c prince ; the prince he shall sit in it 
to d eat bread before the Lord : he shall enter by the 
way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the 
way of the same. 

4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate 
before the house : and I looked, and, behold, the glory 
of the Lord filled the house of the Lord ; and I fell 
upon my face. 

5 And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, e mark 
well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine 
ears, all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordi- 
nances of the house of the Lord, and all the laws 
thereof ; and mark well the entering in of the house, 
with every going forth of the sanctuary. 

6 And thou shalt say to the r rebellious, even to the 
house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, O ye 
house of Israel, let it ? suffice you of all your abo- 
minations, 

7 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary, h stran- 
gers, uncircumcised in ' heart, and uncircumcised in 
flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my 
house, when ye offer k my bread, the fat and the blood, 
and they have broken my covenant, because of all 
your abominations. 

8 And ye have not kept the ' charge of my holy 
things : but ye have set keepers of my charge in my 
sanctuary for yourselves. 

9 Thus saith the Lord God, m No stranger, uncir- 
cumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall 
enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among 
the children of Israel. 

10 And the n Levites that are gone away far from 
me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away 
from me after their idols ; they shall even ° bear their 
iniquitv. 

1 1 Vet they shall be p ministers in my sanctuary, 
having charge at the gates of the house, and minister- 
ing to the house : they shall slay the burnt-offering and 
the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before 
them to minister unto them. 

1 2 Because they ministered unto them before their 
idols, and caused the house of Israel « to fall into 
iniquity ; therefore have I lifted up my hand against 
them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their 
iniquity. 

1 3 And they shall not come near unto me to do the 



office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of 
my t holy tilings, in the most holy place ; but they shall 
bear their shame, and their abominations which they 
have committed : 

1 4 But 1 will make them r keepers of the charge 
of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all 
that shall be done therein. 

15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of s Zadok, 
that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the chil- 
dren of Israel went astray from me, they shall l come 
near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand 
before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith 
the Lord God : 

16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they 
shall come near to my table to minister unto me, and 
they shall u keep my charge. 

1 7 And it shall come to pass, that, when they enter 
in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed 
with x linen garments ; and no y wool shall come upon 
them while they minister in the gates of the inner 
court, and within. 

18 They shall have z linen bonnets upon their 
heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins ; 
they shall not gird themselves with any tiling that 
causeth a sweat. 

1 9 And when they go forth into the outer court, 
even into the outer court to the people, they shall put 
off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay 
them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on 
other garments ; and they shall b not sanctify the people 
with their garments. 

20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer 
their locks to grow c long ; they shall d only poll their 
heads. 

21 Neither shall any priest e drink wine, when they 
enter into the inner court. 

22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, 
or her that is f put away : but they shall take s maidens 
of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that 
had a priest before. 

23 And they shall teach my people the difference 
h between the holy and profane, and cause men to 
discern between the unclean and the clean. 

24 And in controversy they shall stand in judg- 
ment ; and they shall judge it ' according to my judg- 
ments : and they shall keep my laws and my statutes 
in all mine assemblies ; and they shall hallow my 
sabbaths. 

25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile 
themselves : k but for father, or for mother, or for son, 
or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had 
no husband, they may defile themselves. 

26 And ' after he is cleansed they shall reckon unto 
him seven days. 

27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, 
unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he 
shall offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord God. 

28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance ; 
m I am their inheritance : and ye shall give them no 
possession in Israel ; I am their possession. 

29 They shall eat the meat-offering, and the sin- 
offering, and the trespass-offering ; and every ° dedi- 
cated thing in Israel shall be theirs. 

30 And the first of all "the first-fruits of all things, 
and every oblation of all, of everv sort of your obla- 
tions, shall be the priest's: ye shail also give unto the 
priest the fust of your dough, that he may cause the 
blessing to rest in thy house.

The sanctuary-portion of the land. 

31 The priests shall p not eat of any thing that is 
dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast. 
CHAP. XLV. 

1 The portion of land for the sanctuary, & for the city, 7 and 
for the prince, <$•<:. 

OREOVER, when ye shall divide by lot the 
land a for inheritance, ye shall b offer an obla- 
tion unto the Lord, a holy portion of the land : the 
length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand 
reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This 
shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about. 

2 Of this there shall be for the c sanctuary five hun- 
dred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square 
round about; and fifty cubits round about for the 
suburbs thereof. 

3 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length 
of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten 
thousand : and in it shall be the sanctuary and the 
t most holy place. 

4 The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests, 
the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near 
to minister unto the Lord ; and it shall be a place for 
their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuaiy. 

5 And the five and twenty thousand of length, and 
the d ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, 
the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a 
possession for twenty chambers. 

6 And ye shall appoint e the possession of the city 
five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand 
long, over against the oblation of the holy portion : it 
shall be for the whole house of Israel. 

7 And a portion shall be for the f prince on the one 
side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy 
portion, and of the possession of the city, before the ob- 
lation of the holy portion, and before the possession of 
the city, from the g west side westward, and from the 
east side eastward ; and the length shall be over against 
one of the portions, from the west border unto the east 
border. 

8 In the land shall be his possession in Israel : and 
h my princes shall no more ' oppress my people ; and 
the rest of the land shall they give to the house of 
Israel according to their tribes. 

9 Thus saith the Lord God, Let it k suffice you, O 
princes of Israel: 'remove violence and spoil, and 
execute judgment and justice, take away your exac- 
tions from my people, saith the Lord God. 

10 Ye shall have m just balances, and a just ephah, 
and a just bath. 

1 1 The ephah and the bath shall be of one mea- 
sure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of a 
homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer : the 
measure thereof shall be after the homer. 

12 And the shekel shall be twenty n gerahs : twenty 
shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels shall 
be your maneh. 

1 3 This is the oblation that ye shall offer ; the sixth 
part of an ephah of a homer of wheat, and ye shall 
give the sixth part of an ephah of a homer of barley. 

14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, 
ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, 
which is a homer of ten baths ; for ten baths are a 
homer : 

15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hun- 
7. dred, out of the ° fat pastures of Israel, for a meat- 
offering, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offer- 
ings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord 
God.

1 6 All the people of the land shall give this oblation 
for p the prince in Israel. 

1 7 And it shall be the prince's part q to give burnt- 
offerings, and meat-offerings, and drink-offerings, in 
the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, 
in all solemnities of the house of Israel : he shall pre- 
pare the r sin-offering, and the meat-offering, and the 
burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make recon- 
ciliation for the house of Israel. 

1 8 Thus saith the Lord God, In the first month, in 
the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young 
bullock without blemish, and s cleanse the sane- s Gal. 3, 2a 
tuary : ha.\\ 

1 9 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin- 
offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and 
upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and 
upon the posts of the gate of the inner court. 

20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the 
month for every one that l erreth, and for him that is l M* 1 - lfl » 
simple : so shall ye reconcile the house. Joim2o.'2a 

21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the Rom. ii 4.

CHAP. XLVI. 

Ordinances for the prince in his worship, and for the people. 

THUS saith the Lord God, The gate of the inner 
court that looketh toward the east shall be a shut 
the six working days ; but on the sabbath it shall be 
opened, and in the day of the b new moon it shall be bisa.66,23. 
opened. 

2 And the c prince shall enter by the way of the c ch. 44, 3. 
porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post 
of the gate, and the d priest shall prepare his burnt- 
offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship 
at' the threshold of the gate ; then he shall go forth ; 
but the gate shall e not be shut until the evening. 

3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at 
the f door of this gate before the Lord, in the sab- 
baths, and in the new moons. 

4 And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer 
unto the Lord in the sabbath-day shall be * six lambs | Num. 28

by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go 
forth by the way thereof. 

9 But when the people of the land shall come be- 
fore the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that entereth 
in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go 
out by the way of the south gate ; and he that enter- 
eth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the 
way of the north gate : he shall k not return by the 
way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go 
forth over against it. 

10 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go 
in, ' shall go in ; and when they go forth, shall go forth : 

1 1 And in the feasts, and in the solemnities, the 
meat-offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an 
ephah to a ram ; and to the lambs m as he is able to 
give, and a hin of oil to an ephah. 

12 Now when the prince shall prepaie a voluntary 
burnt-offering or peace-offerings voluntarily unto the 
Lord, one shall then open him the gate that looketh 

a Cor. 8, 12. t owarc j t] ie gas^ anc i h e shall prepare his burnt-offer- 
ing and his peace-offerings as he did on the sabbath- 
day ; then he shall go forth ; and after his going forth 
one shall shut the gate. 

13 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt-offering unto 
the Lord of a lamb of the first year without blemish; 
thou shalt prepare it t eveiy morning. 

14 And thou shalt prepare a meat-offering for it 
every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the 
third part of a hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour ; 
a meat-offering continually, by a perpetual ordinance, 
unto the Lord. 

1 5 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat- 
offering, and the n oil, every morning, for a continual 
burnt-offering. 

16 IT Thus saith the Lord God, If the prince give 
a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall 
be his sons' ; it shall be their possession by inheritance. 

1 7 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of 
his servants, then it shall be his to the ° year of liberty ; 
after it p shall return to the prince : but his inheritance 
shall be his sons' for them. 

1 8 Moreover, the prince shall not take of the peo- 
ple's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of 
their possession ; but he shall give his sons inheritance 
out of his own possession ; that my people be not 
scattered every man from his possession. 

1 9 IT After he brought me through the entry, which 
was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of 
the priests, which looked toward the north : and, be- 
hold, there was a place on the two sides westward. 

20 Then said he unto me, This is the place where 
♦ Heb. boil the priests shall t boil the trespass-offering and the sin- 
I^c/s^T 14 * offering, where they shall bake the meat-offering ; that 

they bear them not out into the outer court, to sanctify 
the people. 

21 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, 
and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court ; 
and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a 
court. 

22 In the four corners of the court there were courts 
joined of forty cubits long, and thirty broad : these four 
corners were of one measure. 

23 And there was a new building round about in 
them, round about them four, and it was made with 
boiling-places under the rows round about. 

24 Then said he unto me, These are the places of 
them that q boil, where the ministers of the house shall 
boil the r sacrifice of the people.

FTERWARD he brought me again unto the 
door of the a house ; and, behold, waters issued 
out from under the threshold of the house eastward : 
for the fore-front of the house stood toward the east, 
and the b waters came down from under, from the 
right side of the house, at the south side of the c altar. 

2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate 
northward, and led me about the way without unto 
the outer gate by the way that looketh eastward ; and, 
behold, there ran out waters on the right side. 

3 And when the. man that had the line in his hand 
went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, 
and he brought me through the waters ; the waters 
were to the d ancles. 

4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me 
through the waters ; the waters were to the knees. 
Again he measured a thousand, and brought me 
through : the waters were to the loins. 

5 Afterward he measured a thousand ; and it was 
a river that I could not pass over : for the waters were 
risen, waters e to swim in, a river that could not be 
passed over. ^ 

6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen 
this ? Then he brought me, and caused me to return 
to the brink of the river. 

7 Now, when I had returned, behold, at the bank 
of the river were veiy many f trees on the one side and 
on the other. 

8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out 
toward the east country, and go down into the desert, 
and go into the sea ; which being brought forth into 
the sea, the waters shall be healed. 

9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that 
liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall 
come, shall live ; and there shall be s a very great 
multitude of fish, because these waters shall come 
thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing 
shall live whither the river cometh. 

10 And it shall come to pass, that the h fishers shall 
stand upon it, from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim ; 
they shall be a place to spread forth nets : their fish 
shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the 
great sea, exceeding many. 

1 1 But the ' miry places thereof, and the marshes 
thereof, shall not be k healed : they shall be given to 
salt. 

1 2 And by the river, upon the bank thereof, on this 
side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, 
whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof 
be consumed : it shall bring forth x new fruit according 
to his months, because their waters they issued out of 
the sanctuary ; and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, 
and the leaf thereof for m medicine. 

1 3 IT Thus saith the Lord God, This shall be the 
border whereby ye shall inherit the land, according 
to the twelve tribes of Israel : Joseph shall have ttvo 
portions. 

1 4 And ye shall inherit it, ° one as well as another ; 
concerning the which I lifted up my hand to give it 
unto your fathers ; and this land shall fall unto you 
for inheritance. 

15 And this shall be the border of the land toward

CHAP. 1. 

1 Jehoiakim , s captivity. 3 Ashpenaz taketh Daniel, Hananiah, 
Mishael, and Azariah : 1 7 Their excellency in wisdom. 

IN the a third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king 
of Judah came b Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 
unto c Jerusalem, and besieged it. 

2 And the Lord d gave Jehoiakim king of Judah 
into his hand, with e part of the vessels of the f house 
of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar, to 
the house of his god ; and he brought the vessels into 
the g treasure-house of his god. 

3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of 
his eunuchs, that he should h bring certain of the chil- 
dren of Israel, and of the ' king's seed, and of the 
princes ; 

4 Children in whom was no blemish, but k well- 
favoured, and l skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in 
knowledge, and understanding science, and such as 
had m ability in them n to stand in the king's palace, 
and whom they might teach the ° learning and the 
tongue of the Chaldeans. 

5 And the king appointed them a p daily provision 
of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank ; 
so nourishing them q three years, that at the end thereof 
they might stand before the king. 

6 Now among these were of the r children of Ju- 
dah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah ; 

7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs a gave 
names: for he gave unto Daniel, the name of Bel- 
teshazzar ; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach ; and to 
Mishael, of Meshach ; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego. 

8 But Daniel * purposed in his heart that he would 
not u defile himself with the portion of the king's 
meat, nor with the wine which he drank : therefore 
he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he 
might not defile himself. 

9 Now God had brought Daniel x into favour and 
tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 

10 And the prince of the eunuchs y said unto 
Daniel, z I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed 
your meat and your drink : for why should he see 
your faces worse liking than the children which are 
of your sort ? then shall ye make me a endanger my 
head to the king ? 

1 1 Then b said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince 
of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, 
Mishael, and Azariah, 

12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, c ten days; 
and let them give us d pulse to eat, and water to drink. 

1 3 Then let our countenances be looked upon before 
thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of 
the portion of the king's meat ; and as thou seest, 
e deal with thy servants. 

14 So f he consented to them in this matter, and 
proved them ten days. 



15 And at thfc end of ten days their countenances 
appeared E fairer and fatter in flesh than all the chil- 
dren which did eat the portion of the king's meat. 

1 6 Thus Melzar h took away the portion of their 
meat, and the wine that they should drink, and gave 
them pulse. 

17 As for these four children, ' Gud gave them 
knowledge and skill in all k learning and wisdom : and 
Daniel had understanding in all ' visions and dreams. 

1 8 Now, at the m end of the days that the king had 
said he should bring them in, then the prince of the 
eunuchs brought them in before IS ebuchadnezzar. 

1 9 And the king n communed with them : and 
among them all was found none like Daniel, Hana- 
niah, Mishael, and Azariah : therefore stood they 
before the king. 

20 And in all matters of wisdom and understand- 
ing, that the king inquired of them, he found them 
t ten times better than all the magicians and astrolo- 
gers that were in all his realm. 

21 And Daniel continued even unto the ° first year 
of king Cyrus. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Nebuchadnezzar Jorgetteth his dream: 14 It is revealed 
to Daniel. 31 The dream, and interpretation thereof. 

AND in the second year of the reign of Nebuchad- 
nezzar, Nebuchadnezzar a dreamed dreams, 
wherewith his b spirit was troubled, and his sleep 
brake from him. 

2 Then the king commanded d to call e the magi- 
cians, and the astrologers, and the f sorcerers, and the 
Chaldeans, for s to shew the king his dreams. So 
they came and stood before the king. 

3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a 
dream, and my spirit was troubled h to know the 
dream. 

4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriac, 
O king, live for ever : ' tell thy servants the dream, 
and k we will shew the interpretation. 

5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, 
The thing is gone from me : if ye will not make known 
unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye 
shall be ' cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made 
a dunghill : 

6 But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation 
thereof, ye shall receive of me m gifts, and rewards, 
and great honour : therefore shew me the dream and 
the interpretation thereof. 

7 They n answered again, and said, Let the king 
tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the 
interpretation of it. 

8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty 
that ye would t gain the time, p because ye see the 
tiring is gone from me. 

9 But if ye will not make known unto me die

dream, there is but q one decree for you ; for ye have 
prepared r lying and corrupt words to speak before me 
till the s time be changed ; therefore tell me the dream, 
and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpreta- 
tion thereof. 

10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and 
said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew 
the king's matter : therefore there is no king, lord, nor 
ruler, * that asked such things at any magician, or 
astrologer, or Chaldean. 

1 1 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth ; 
and there is none other that can shew it before the 
king except the gods, whose dwelling u is not with 
flesh. 

12 For this cause the king was angry and x very 
furious, and commanded to destroy y all the wise men 
of Babylon. 

13 And the z decree went forth that the wise men 
should be slain ; and they a sought Daniel and his 
fellows to be slain. 

1 4 b Then Daniel answered c with counsel and wis- 
dom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which 
was gone forlh to slay the wise men of Babylon : 

1 5 He answered and said to Arioch the king's cap- 
tain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king ? Then 
Arioch (1 made the thing known to Daniel. 

16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king 
that he would give him e time, and that he would 
f shew the king the interpretation. 

1 7 Then Daniel went to his g house, and made the 
thing h known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 
his companions ; 

1 8 That they would ' desire mercies of the God of 
heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his 
fellows should not perish k with the rest of the wise 
men of Babylon. 

1 9 ' Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in 
a night-vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of 
heaven. 

20 Daniel answered and said, m Blessed be the name 
of God for ever and ever ; D for wisdom and might 
are his : 

21 And he changeth the times and the seasons : he 
"removeth Icings, and setteth up kings : he giveth p wis- 
dom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know 
understanding : 

22 He q revealeth the deep and secret things : he 
r knoweth what is in the darkness, and the 3 light 
dwelleth with him. 

23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my 
fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and 
hast made known unto me now what l we desired of 
thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the 
king's matter. 

24 Therefore Daniel u went in unto Arioch, whom 
the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Ba- 
bylon : he went and said thus unto him, x Destroy not 
the wise men of Babylon : bring me in before the king, 
and I will shew unto the king the interpretation. 

25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king 
in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man 
of the y captives of Judah that will make known unto 
the king the interpretation. 

26 The king answered, and said to Daniel, whose 
name was Belteshazzar, * Art thou able to make 
known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the 
interpretation thereof? 

27 Daniel answered in the presence ol the king, 



and said, The secret which the king hath demanded, 
a cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, 
the soothsayers, shew unto the king ; 

28 But there is b a God in heaven that revealeth 
secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchad- 
nezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, 
and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these ; 

29 (As for thee, O king, thy c thoughts came into 
thy mind upon thy bed what should come to pass 
hereafter; and he that revealeth secrets maketh 
d known to thee what shall come to pass : 

30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me 
e for any wisdom that I have more than any living, 
but for their sakes that shall make known the inter- 
pretation to the king, and that lliou mightest know 
the thoughts of thy heart ;) 

31 Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great 
f image. This great image, whose brightness was 
excellent, stood before thee, and the form thereof was 
g terrible. 

32 This h image's head was of fine gold, his breast 
and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass. 

33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of 
' clay. 

34 Thou sawest k till that ' a stone was cut out 
m without, hands, which smote the image upon his feet, 
that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. 

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, 
and the gold, n broken to pieces together, and became 
like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the 
wind carried them away, that ° no place was found 
for them : and the stone that smote the image became 
P a great mountain, and q filled the whole earth. 

36 ' This is the dream ; and we will tell the inter- 
pretation thereof before the king. 

37 Thou, O king, art ■ a king of kings : for the God 
of heaven hath l given thee a kingdom, power, and 
strength, and glory. 

38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the 
beasts of the field, and the fowls of the heaven, hath 
he given into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over 
them all. Thou art this u head of gold. 

39 And after thee shall arise x another kingd6m, 
y inferior to thee, and another z third kingdom of brass, 
which shall bear rule over all the earth. 

40 And the a fourth kingdom shall be b strong as 
iron : forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and sub- 
dueth all things : and as iron that c breaketh all these, 
shall it break in pieces and bruise. 

4 1 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes part 
of d potter's clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall 
be e divided ; but there shall be in it of f the strength 
of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed 
with miry clay. 

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron and 
part of clay ; so the kingdom shall be partly g strong, 
and partly b broken. 

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry 
clay, they ' shall mingle themselves with the seed of 
men : but they shall not cleave one to another, even 
as iron is not mixed with clay. 

44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of 
heaven set up k a kingdom, which shall never be de- 
stroyed : and the kingdom shall not be left to other 
people, but it shall ' break in pieces and consume all 
these kingdoms, and it shall In stand tor ever. 

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the D stone was 
cut out of the mountain ° without hands, and that it

brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, 
and the gold ; the great God hath made known to the 
king what shall come to pass hereafter : and the dream 
is p certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. 

46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his 
face, and q worshipped Daniel, and commanded that 
they should r offer an oblation and sweet odours unto 
him. 

47 The king R answered unto Daniel, and said, Of 
a truth it is that * your God is a God of gods, and a 
Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou 
couldest reveal this secret. 

48 Then the king made Daniel " a great man, and 
gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over 
the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the 
governors over all the wise men of Babylon. 

49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he x set 
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs 
of the province of Babylon : but Daniel sat in the 

«a.49,i4. y gate of the king. 

CHAP. in. 

Nebuchadnezzar setteth up a golden image. 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR * the king made b an 
image of gold, whose height was c threescore cu- 
bits, and the breadth thereof six cubits : he set it up 
in the d plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent e to gather 
together the princes, the governors, and the captains, 
the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, 
and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the 

f Rev. 17,2. f dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the 
king had set up. 

3 Then the E princes, the governors, and captains, 
the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, 
and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered to- 
gether unto the dedication of the image that Nebu- 
chadnezzar the king had set up ; and they h stood be- 
fore the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 

4 Then a herald ' cried aloud, To you it is k com- 
manded, O people, nations, and languages, 

5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cor- 
p| T pef'2 6 ' ne *' flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and ' all

6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, 
shall the n same hour be cast into the midst of a

7 Therefore at that time, when all ? the people 
heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, 
psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the 
nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped 
the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had 
set up. 

8 Wherefore n at that time certain Chaldeans came 
near and r accused the Jews. 

9 They spake, and said " to the king Nebuchad- 
nezzar, O king, l live for ever. 

10 Thou, O king, hast made a u decree, that every 
man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute,

a not regarded thee ; they serve not thy gods, nor wor- 
ship the golden image which thou hast set up. 

1 3 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in his b rage and fury, 
commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
nego. Then they c brought these men before the king. 

14 Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said unto them, 
d Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego ? dPr.18,13 
do not ye serve e my gods, nor worship the golden e ch. 2, 4:. 
image which I have set up ? 

1 5 Now, if ye be ready, that at what time ye hear 
the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, 
and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and 
worship the image which I have made, well : but if ye 
worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the 
midst of a fiery furnace : and f who is that God that f Ex - 5 - " 2 
shall deliver you out of my hands ? 

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, g answered f, 1 Pet - 3 
and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, h we are not 
careful to answer thee ' in this matter. 

17 If it be so, our God, whom we serve, k is able 
to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace ; and ' he 
will deliver us out of thy hand, O king. 

18 But if m not, be it n known unto thee, O king, nsam. 17, 
that we Will not serve thy gods, nor worship thy l\ im 4 18 
golden image which thou hast set up. 

19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar p full of fury, and 
the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, 
Meshach, and Abed-nego : there/ore he spake, and 
commanded that they should heat the furnace one p Ex. 5' 5. 
q seven times more than it was wont to be heated. Acts 7 - 54 - 

20 And he commanded the most mighty men that q ' 
were in his army to r bind Shadrach, Meshach, and l^ V 2 : * 
Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery 
furnace. 

21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their 
hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and 
s were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace, s Ezra 4. 23 

22 Therefore, because the king's commandment 
was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame 
of the fire l slew those men that took up Shadrach, 
Meshach, and Abed-nego. 

23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and 
Abed-nego, u fell down bound into the midst of the u , Ps 
burning fiery furnace. 

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was x astonished, 
and rose up in haste, and spake and said unto his coun- 
sellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst 
of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, 
True, O king. 

25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, 
walking in the midst of the fire, and they have y no 
hurt ; and the form of the fourth is like || the z Son of geb n 

God. I! <>. a.' 

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth pJiM.i.'V 
of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Sha- Heb. 1, 14. 
drach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, a ye servants of the » l> <" 1 :f '

27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and

c these men, upon whose bodies the fire had d no power, 
nor was * a hair of their head singed, neither were 
their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed

that E trusted in him, and have h changed the king's 
word, and ' yielded their bodies, that they might k not

29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people,

against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be 
made a dunghill ; because there is no other god that

30 Then the king n promoted Shadrach, Meshach, 
and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon. 

CHAP. IV. 

Daniel heareth Nebuchadnezzar" 1 s dream, and interpreteth it. 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR the king, a unto all peo- 
ple, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the 
b ch. 6, 25. earth ; b Peace be multiplied unto you. 

2 c I thought it good to shew d the signs and wonders 
that the high God hath wrought 8 toward me. 

3 How great are his signs ! and f how mighty are 
his wonders ! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, 
and his dominion is g from generation to generation. 

4 I Nebuchadnezzar was h at rest in my house, and 
1 flourishing in my palace : 

5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the 
thoughts upon my bed and the vision's of my head 
k troubled me. "" 

6 Therefore made I ' a decree to bring in all the wise 
men of Babylon before me, that m they might make 
known unto me the interpretation of the dream. 

7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the 
Chaldeans, and the soothsayers : and I told the dream 
before them ; but they did n not make known unto me 
the interpretation thereof. 

8 But ° at the last Daniel came in before me, (whose 
name was Belteshazzar, according to the p name of 
my god, and in whom is the q spirit of the holy gods,) 
and before him I told the dream, saying, 

9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because 
I know that the spirit of the holy gods is r in thee, and 
no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my 
dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. 

10 Thus were the visions of my head in my bed : 
I saw, and, behold, 3 a tree in the midst of the earth, 
and the height thereof was * great. 

1 1 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height 
thereof u reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof 
to the end of all the earth. 

12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof 
much, and in it was meat for all : the x beasts of the 
field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven 
dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. 

13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed. 
and, behold, y a watcher and z a holy one came down 
from heaven. 

14 He cried a aloud, and said thus, b Hew down 
aRcv. 18, l. t j ie tree5 an( j p U t ff hi s branches, shake off his leaves, 
b Ps. 37, 38. and scatter his fruit : let the beasts c get away from

1 5 Nevertheless, d leave the stump of his roots in 
the earth, even with e a band of iron and brass in the 
tender grass of the field ; and let it be wet with the 
dew of heaven, and let his f portion be with the beasts 
in the grass of the earth.

1 8 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. 
Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation 
thereof; forasmuch as all the wise men of my king- 
dom are ra not able to make known unto me the inter- 
pretation : but n thou art able ; for the spirit of the 
holy gods is in thee. 

1 9 Then Daniel, (whose name was ° Belteshazzar,) o l Cor. 9, 
was p astonished for one hour, and his thoughts q trou- 19 e cc1 8 17 
bled him. The king spake and said, Belteshazzar, Rom i 1,33'. 
let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble q Jer - 4> 19 - 
thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the 
dream be to them that r hate thee, and the interpretation ri Tim. 2,1. 
thereof to thine enemies. 

20 The 6 tree that thou sawest, which grew, and sver.10, 11. 
was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, 
and the sight thereof to all the earth ; 

21 Whose l leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof * Ezek. 29, 
much, and in it was meat for all ; under which the 18 ' 19 " 
beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches 
the fowls of the heaven had their habitation : 

22 It is u thou, O king, that art grown and become 
strong : for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto 
heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. 

23 And w T hereas the king saw a watcher and a holy 
one x coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the x Ps. 9, 4. 
tree down, and destroy it ; yet leave the stump of the r™ s £' % % 
roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron 
and brass in the tender grass of the field; and let it be 
wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be 
with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over 
him ; 

24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the 
decree of y the Most High, which is come upon my y Ps. 39, 9. 
lord the z king : ™usl % 

25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy p s . 107,' 40! 
dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they 
shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall 
wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times 
shall pass over thee, till thou a know that the Most aPs - 83 > 18< 
High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to 
whomsoever he will. 

26 And whereas they commanded to leave the 
stump of the tree-roots ; thy kingdom shall be sure b Hab. 3, 2, 
unto thee, b after that thou shalt have known that the c'M at 2 i, 
c heavens do rule. 

27 d Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be accept

and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor ; if ^ |" gs 
it may be e a lengthening of thy tranquillity. isa. 58, 7,8,

33 The a same hour was the tiling fulfilled upon 
Nebuchadnezzar : and he was driven from men, and 
did ' eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the 
dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' 
feathers, and his nails like birds' dates. 

34 And u at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar 
x lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and y mine under- 
standing returned unto me ; and T z blessed the Most 
High ; and I praised and honoured him that a liveth 
for ever, whose dominion is an b everlasting dominion, 
and his kingdom is from generation to generation : 

35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed 
c as nothing : and he doeth according to his will in the 
army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth ; 
and none d can stay his hand, or say unto him, What 
doest thou ? 

36 At the same time my reason returned unto me ; 
and, for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and 
brightness returned unto me ; and my e counsellors 
and my lords sought unto me ; and I was established 
in my kingdom ; and excellent majesty was f added 
unto me. 

37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and 
honour the King of heaven, all whose works % are truth, 
and his ways judgment : and those that walk b in pride 
he is able to abase. 

CHAP. V. 
1 Belshazzar' s impious feast. 5 A hand-writing on the wall. 

BELSHAZZAR the king made a a great feast to 
a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before 
the thousand. 

2 Belshazzar, while he b tasted the wine, com- 
manded to bring the golden and silver vessels which 
his father Nebuchadnezzar had c taken out of the 
temple which was in Jerusalem ; that the king and 
his princes, his wives and his concubines, might 
d drink therein. 

3 Then e they brought the golden vessels that were 
taken out of the temple of the house of God which 
was at Jerusalem ; and f the king and his princes, his 
wives and his concubines, drank in them. 

4 They drank wine and g praised the gods of gold, 
and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. 

5 In the h same hour came forth ' fingers of a man's 
hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon 
the k plaster of the wall of the king's palace ; and the 
king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 

6 Then the king's ' countenance was changed, and his 
thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins 
were loosed, and his m knees smote one against another. 

7 The king cried aloud n to bring in the astrologers, 
the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king 
spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoso- 
ever shall read this writing, and shew me the inter- 
pretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and 
have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the 
third ruler in the kingdom. 

8 Then came in all the king's wise men : but they 
could not p read the writing, nor make known to the 
king the interpretation thereof. 

9 Then was king Belshazzar q greatly troubled, 
and his countenance was changed in him, and his 
T lords were astonished. 

10 Now the queen, by reason of the words of the 
. king and his lords, came into the banquet-house ; and 

the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever : " let 



not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance 
be changed : 

1 1 There is * a man in thy kingdom, in whom is 
the spirit of the holy gods : and, in the days of thy 
father, " fight, and understanding, and wisdom, x like 
the wisdom of the gods, was found in him ; whom the 
king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, / saij, thy 
father, made y master of the magicians, astrologers, 
Chaldeans, and soothsayers ; 

12 Forasmuch as z an excellent spirit, and know- 
ledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and 
shewing of hard sentences, and a dissolving of doubts, 
were found hi the same Daniel, whom the king named 
Belteshazzar : now let Daniel be called, and he will 
shew the interpretation. 

13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. 
And the king spake and said unto Daniel, b Art thou 
that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity 
of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of 
Jewry ? 

14 I have even c heard of thee, that the d spirit of 
the gods is in thee, and that light, and understanding, 
and excellent wisdom, is found in thee. 

15 And now the wise men. the astrologers, have 
been brought in before me, e that they should read this 
writing, and make known unto me the interpretation 
thereof: but they could not f shew the interpretation 
of the thing : 

1 6 And I have heard of thee that thou canst make 
interpretations and dissolve doubts : now, if thou 
canst read the writing, and make known to me the 
interpretation thereof, thou shalt be g clothed with 
scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and 
shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. 

1 7 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, 
Let thy h gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to 
another ; ' yet I will read the writing unto the king, 
and make known to him the interpretation. 

1 8 k O thou king, the most high God ' gave Nebu- 
chadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and 
glory, and honour. 

19 And, for the majesty that he gave him, all peo- 
ple, nations, and languages, m trembled and feared 
before him : whom he would he slew, and whom he 
would he n kept alive, and whom he would he set up, 
and whom he would he put down. 

20 But when his ° heart was lifted up, and his mind 
hardened in pride, he was p deposed from his kingly 
throne, and they took his glory from him : 

21 And he was q driven from the sons of men ; and 
his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling 
was with the wild asses : they fed him with grass like 
oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven ; 
till he knew that the most high God ruled in the king- 
dom of men, and tliat he appointeth over it whomso- 
ever he will. 

22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast r not 
humbled thy heart, though thou s knewest all this ; 

23 But hast * lifted up thyself against the Lord of 
heaven; and they have "brought the vessels of his 
house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives 
and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and 
thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, 
iron, wood, and stone, which x see not, nor hear, nor 
know : and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and 
whose are » all thy ways, hast thou z not glorified. 

24 a Then was the part of the hand sent from him ; 
and this writing was written.

25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, 
MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 

26 This is the interpretation of the thing : MENE ; 
God hath b numbered thy kingdom, and c finished it. 

27 TEKEL ; Thou art d weighed in the balances, 
and art e found wanting. 

28 PERES ; Thy kingdom f is divided, and g given 
to the Medes and Persians. 

29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed 
Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his 
neck, and h made a proclamation concerning him, that 
he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. 

30 IT ' In that night was Belshazzar the king of the 
Chaldeans slain. 

31 And k Darius the Median took the kingdom, 
being about threescore and two years old. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 Daniel's preferment : 10 He is cast into the den of lions: 
1 8 He is miraculously saved. 

IT pleased Darius a to set over the kingdom a hun- 
dred and twenty princes, which should be over 
the whole kingdom ; 

2 And over these, three presidents, of whom Daniel 
was b first ; that the princes might give c accounts 
unto them, and the king should have no damage. 

3 Then this Daniel was d preferred above the presi- 
dents and princes, e because an excellent spirit was in 
him ; and the king thought to set him over the whole 
realm. 

4 Then f the presidents and princes g sought to find 
occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom ; 
but they could h find none occasion nor fault ; foras- 
much as he was faithful, neither was there any ' error 
or fault found in him. 

5 Then said these men, We k shall not find any 
occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against 
him concerning the ' law of his God. 

6 Then these presidents and princes m assembled 
together n to the king, and said thus unto him, King 
Darius, live for ever. 

7 ° All the presidents of the kingdom, the gover- 
nors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the cap- 
tains, have p consulted together to establish a royal 
statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever 
shall ask a petition of any q god or man for thirty 
days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the 
den of lions. 

8 Now, O king, r establish the decree, and sign the 
writing, that it be not changed, according to the law 
of the Medes and Persians, which s altereth not. 

9 Wherefore king Darius t signed the writing and 
the decree. 

10 Now when Daniel u knew that the writing was 
signed, he went into his house ; and, his x windows 
being open in his chamber y toward Jerusalem, he 
kneeled upon his z knees three times a-day, and pray- 
ed, a and gave thanks before his God, b as he did 
aforetime. 

1 1 Then these men assembled, and c found Daniel 
praying and making supplication before his God. 

1 2 d Then they came near, and spake before the 
king concerning the king's decree ; Hast thou not 
signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a pe- 
tition of any god or man within thirty days, save of 
thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions ? 
The king answered and said, e The thing is true, 
according to the law of the Medes and Persians, 
which altereth not. 



1 3 Then answered they, and said before the king, 
That Daniel, which is of the f captivity of the chil- 
dren of Judah, e regardeth not thee, O king, nor the 
decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition 
three times a-day. 

1 4 Then the king, when he heard these words, was 
sore displeased with himself, and h set his heart on 
Daniel to deliver him ; and he laboured ' till the going 
down of the sun to deliver him. 

1 5 Then these men assembled unto the king, and 
said unto the king, Know, O king, that the k law of 
the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor sta- 
tute which the king establisheth may be changed. 

16 ' Then the king commanded, and they brought 
Daniel, and m cast him into the den of lions. Now 
the king spake and said unto Daniel, D Thy God, 
whom thou servest ° continually, he will deliver thee. 

1 7 And p a stone was brought, and laid upon the 
mouth of the den ; and the king sealed it with his 
own signet, and with the signet of his lords, that the 
purpose might not be q changed concerning Daniel. 

1 8 Then the Icing r went to his palace, and passed 
the night 3 fasting : neither were instruments of music 
brought before him ; and his l sleep went from him. 

1 9 Then the king arose u very early in the morn- 
ing, and went in haste unto the den of lions. 

20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a 
lamentable voice unto Daniel ; and the king spake 
and said to Daniel, O Daniel, x servant of the living 
God, is thy y God, whom thou servest continually, 
able to deliver thee from the lions ? 

2 1 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live 
for ever. 

22 My God hath sent his z angel, and a hath shut 
the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me : foras- 
much as b before him innocency was found in me ; 
and also c before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. 

23 Then was the king d exceeding glad for him, 
and commanded that they should take Daniel up out 
of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, 
and e no manner of hurt was found upon him, because 
he f believed in his God. 

24 And the king commanded, and they brought 
s those men which had accused Daniel, and they 
b cast them into the den of lions, them, their ' children, 
and their wives ; and the lions had the mastery of 
them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they 
came at the bottom of the den. 

25 Then king Darius k wrote unto all people, na- 
tions, and languages, that dwell in all the earth ; 
1 Peace be multiplied unto you. 

26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my 
kingdom men tremble m and fear before the God of 
Daniel : for he is the n living God, and ° steadfast for 
ever?' and his kingdom that which shall p not be de- 
stroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. 

27 He q delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh 
r signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath 
delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. 

28 So s this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, 
and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by 
night, and, behold, the a four winds of the heaven 
strove upon the e great sea. 

3 And ' four great beasts ' came up from the sea, 
diverse one from another. 

4 The first was '' like a lion, and had eagles' wings : 
I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it 
was lifted up from the earth, and ' made stand upon 
the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 

5 And, behold, another beast, k a second, like to ' a 
bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had 
m three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it : 
and n they said thus unto it, Arise, ° devour much flesh. 

6 After this I beheld, and lo, p another, like a 
leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of 
a fowl : the beast had also q four heads ; and dominion 
was given to it. 

7 After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, 
1 a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong ex- 
ceedingly ; and it had s great iron teeth : it devoured 
and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the 
feet of it : and it was diverse from all the beasts that 
were before it ; and it had ' ten horns. 

8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came 
up among them another u little horn, before whom 
there were three of the first horns plucked up by the 
roots : and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the 
eyes of man, and x a mouth y speaking great tilings. 

9 [ beheld till the thrones were || cast down, and 
the z Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was 
white as snow, and the hair of liis head like the pure 
wool : his throne was like the fiery flame, and a his 
wheels as burning fire. 

1 b A fiery stream issued and came forth from be- 
fore him : c thousand thousands ministered unto him, 
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: 
the judgment was set, and the d books were opened. 

1 1 I beheld then, because of the voice of the great 
words which the horn spake -, I beheld, even till the 
beast was slain, and liis body destroyed, and given to 
the e burning flame. 

1 2 As concerning the f rest of the beasts, they had 
their E dominion taken away : yet their lives were 
h prolonged for a season and time. 

1 3 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like 
the ' Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and 
came to the Ancient of days, k and they brought him 
near before him. 

1 4 And there was given him ' dominion, and glory, 
and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and lan- 
guages, should serve him : his dominion is an ever- 
lasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his 
kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. 

15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst 
of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. 

16 I m came near unto one of them that stood by, 
and " asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, 
and ° made me know the interpretation of the things. 

17 These great beasts, which are four, are four 
p kings, which shall q arise out of the earth. 

18 But the saints of the Most High shall take the 
kingdom, and r possess the kingdom for ever, even for 
ever and ever. 

19 Then I would know 8 the truth of the fourth 
beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceed- 
ing dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails 
of brass ; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamp- 
ed the residue with liis feet ;

of the other which came up, and before whom three 
fell ; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth 
that spake very great things, l whose look was more 
stout than liis fellows. 

2 1 I beheld, and the same horn u made war with u Ex 
the saints, and prevailed against them ; 

22 Until the Ancient of days came, and x judgment 
was given to the saints of the Most High ; and y the 
time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. 

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the 
z fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse 
from all kingdoms, and shall a devour the whole earth, 
and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 

24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are b ten 
kings that shall arise : and another shall rise after 
them ; and he* shall be diverse from the first, and he 
shall subdue three kings. 

25 And he shall speak great words c against the c Rev. 13,6. 
Most High, and. shall wear out the saints of the Most 

High, and think to d change times and laws : and d 1 Tim. 4, 
they shall be given into liis hand, e until a time and L 3 - 
times and the dividing of time. 

26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall r take f verse 18. 
away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto Zech - 14 > 3 - 
the end. 

27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the great- 
ness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall 
be g given to the people of the saints of the Most High, 
whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all 
dominions shall serve and obey him. 

23 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me 
Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my 
h countenance changed in me : but I kept the matter h verse 15. 
in my ' heart. 1 Luke 2, 51. 

CHAP. VIII. 

Daniel's vision of the ram and he-goat. 

IN the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a cir. 553. 
vision appeared unto me, a even unto me Daniel, a ch. 9, 23. 
b after that which appeared unto me at the first. 9 Cor ' lo ' 8 ' 

2 And I saw in a vision ; (and it came to pass, b Hab. 2, 2. 
when I saw, that I c was at Shushan in the palace, c Ezek. 8, 3. 
which is in the province of d Elam ;) and I saw in a a Gbb. 10, 
vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. 22 - 

3 Then I e lifted up mine eyes and saw, and, behold, e Pr. 8, 34. 
there stood before the river f a ram which had s two f ch. 7, 5. 
horns, and the two horns were high; but one teas gz^.^'21. 
higher than the othe;\ and the higher came up last. 

4 I saw the ram pushing h westward, and north- 
ward, and southward ; so that no ' beasts might stand 
before him, neither was there any that could deliver 
out of his hand ; but he did k according to his will, k Ps. 4, 4. 
and became great. 

5 And as I was considering, behold, a 'he-goat 1 ch. 2, 32. 
came from the west, on the face of the whole earth, verse21 - 
and touched m not the ground : and the goat had n a 
notable horn between his eyes. 

6 And he came to the rain that had two horns, 
which I had seen standing before the river, and 
unto him in the fury of his power. 

7 And I saw him come close unto the rani, and he 

was p moved with choler against him, and smote the p Pr. 6, 34 
ram, and brake his two horns ; and there was q no q N"i»- m, 
power in the ram to stand before him, but he r cast him r Jol) 20 , 5. 
down to the ground, and stamped upon him : and there 
was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. 

8 Therefore the he-goat waxed very great: and 
when he was 9 strong, the great hom was broken ; s <>h 4, 31

and for it came up * four notable ones, toward the four

9 And out of one of them came forth " a little horn 
which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and

of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken 
away, b and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 

12 And a host was given him against the daily 
sat rifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down 
c the truth to the ground ; and it practised, and d pros- 
pered. 

1 3 Then I heard e one saint speaking, and another 
saint said unto t that certain saint which spake, How 
long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, 
and the transgression of desolation, to give both the 
sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot ? 

1 4 And he said unto me, Unto f two thousand and 
three hundred days ; then shall the sanctuary be 
g cleansed. 

15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had 
seen the vision, h and sought for the meaning, then, 
behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a 
man. 

16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks 
of Ulai, which called, and said, ' Gabriel, k make this 
man to understand the vision. 

17 So he came near where I stood ; and when he 
came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face : but he 
said unto me, Understand, O son of man; for at the 
time of the end shall be the vision. 

1 8 Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a 
deep sleep on my face toward the ground : but he 
1 touched me, and m set me upright. 

19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know 
what shall be in the D last end of the indignation : for 
at the time appointed the end shall be. 

20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns 
are the ° kings of Media and Persia. 

21 And the p rough goat is the king of q Grecia: 
and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first 
king. 

22 Now that being broken, whereas r four stood up 
for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, 
but s not in his power. 

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when 
the transgressors are come to the full, * a king of fierce 
countenance, and u understanding dark sentences, 
shall stand up. 

24 And his x power shall be mighty, but not by his 
own power : and he shall destroy wonderfully, and 
shall prosper, and practise, and shall y destroy the 
z mighty and the holy people. 

25 And through his a policy also he shall cause craft 
to prosper in his hand ; and he shall b magnify himself 
in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many : he 
shall also stand up against the Prince of princes ; but 
he shall be broken c without hand. 

26 And the vision of the evening and the morning 
which was told d is true : wherefore e shut thou up the 
vision ; for it shall be for many days. 

27 And I Daniel f fainted, and was sick certain 
days : afterward I rose up, and did the g king's busi- 
ness ; and 1 was astonished at the vision, h but none 
understood it. 



CHAP. IX. 

Daniel, confessing his sins, prayeth for the restoration of 
Jerusalem. 

N the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, 
of the seed of the Medes, which was made king 
over the realm of the Chaldeans ; 

2 In the first year of his reign, 1 Daniel understood 
by books' the number of the years, whereof the word 

of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he 
would accomplish b seventy years in the c desolations 
of Jerusalem. 

3 And 1 set my face unto the Lord God, d to seek 
by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sack- 
cloth, and ashes : 

4 And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and e made 
my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dread- 
ful God, keeping the covenant and f mercy to them that 
love him, and to them that keep his commandments ; 

5 We have s sinned, and have committed iniquity, 
and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by 
departing from thy precepts, and from thy judgments : 

6 Neither have we h hearkened unto thy servants 
the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our 
princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 

7 O Lord, righteousness belongeth ' unto thee ; but 
unto us k confusion of faces, as at this day : to the 
men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
and unto all Israel, that are ' near, and that are far 
off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven 
them, because of their trespass that they have tres- 
passed against thee. 

8 O Lord, m to us belongeth confusion of face, to 
our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because 
we have sinned against thee. 

9 To the Lord our God n belong mercies and for- 
giveness, ° though we have rebelled against him : 

10 Neither have we obeyed p the voice of the Lord 
our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us 
by his servants the prophets. 

1 1 Yea, Q all Israel have transgressed thy law, even 
by departing, that they might not obey thy voice ; 
therefore the r curse is poured upon us, and the oath 
that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, 
because we have sinned against him. 

1 2 And he hath s confirmed his words, which he 
spake against us, and against our judges that judged 
us, by bringing upon us a great evil : l for under the 
whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done 
" upon Jerusalem. 

1 3 As it is * written in the law of Moses, all this 
evil is come upon us : y yet made we not our prayer 
before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our 
iniquities, and understand thy truth. 

14 Therefore hath the Lord z watched upon the 
evil, and brought it upon us : for the Lord our God 
is righteous in all his works which he doeth : for we 
obeyed not a his voice. 

15 And now, O Lord our God, that b hast brought 
thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty 
hand, and hast gotten thee c renown, as at this day; we 
have sinned, we have done wickedly. 

16 O Lord, according to all a thy righteousness, I 
beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned 
away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain : 
because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our 
fathers, e Jerusalem and thy people are become a re- 
proach to all that are about us. 

1 7 Now, therefore, O our f God, hear the prayer

of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy 
face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, g for 
the Lord's sake. 

18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear ; open 
thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city 
which is called by thy name : for we do not present 
our supplications before thee h for our righteousness, 
but for ' thy great mercies. 

1 9 O Lord, hear ; O Lord, forgive •, O Lord, hearken, 
and do ; k defer not, for ' thine own sake, O my God : 
for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. 

20 And m while I was speaking, and praying, and 
confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and 
presenting my supplication before the Lord my God 
for the holy mountain of my God ; 

21 Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the 
man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the 
beginning, being caused to fly n swiftly, touched me 
about the time of the ° evening oblation. 

22 And he p informed me, and talked with me, and 
said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill 
and understanding. 

23 At the '' beginning of thy supplications the com- 
mandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee ; 
for thou art t greatly beloved : therefore understand 
the matter, and consider the vision. 

24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people 
and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and 
to || make an end of sins, and to make r reconciliation 
for iniquity, and to bring in 3 everlasting righteousness, 
and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to t anoint 
the Most Holy. 

25 u Know, therefore, and understand, that from 
the x going forth of the commandment to restore and 
to build Jerusalem, unto the y Messiah the Prince, 
shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks 
the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in 
troublous times. 

2fi And after threescore and two weeks shall Mes- 
siah be z cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the 
prince that shall come shall a destroy the city and the 
sanctuary ; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, 
and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 

27 And he shall b confirm the covenant with many 
for one week : and in the midst of the week he shall 
c cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for 
the overspreading of abominations d he shall make it 
desolate, even until the consummation, and that e de- 
termined, shall be poured upon the desolate. 
CHAP. X. 

1 Daniel, having humbled himself, seeth a vision : 10 Being 
troubled with fear, he is comforted by the angel. 

IN the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a a thing 
was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called 
Belteshazzar ; and the thing teas true, but the time 
appointed was b long : and he c understood the thing, 
and had understanding of the vision. 

2 In those days I Daniel was d mourning three full 
weeks. 

3 I ate no e pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor 
wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, 
r till three whole weeks were fulfilled. 

4 And in the four and twentieth day of the s first 
month, as I was by the side of the great river, which 
is h Hiddekel ; 

5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, be- 
hold, ' a certain man k clothed in linen, whose loins 
were girded with fine gold of Uphaz : 



6 His body also was like the beryl, and his ' face 
as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps 
of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to 
polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice 
of a multitude. 

7 And I Daniel m alone saw the vision : for the 
men that were with me saw not the vision ; but a great 
quaking fell upon them, so that they n fled to hide 
themselves. 

8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great 
vision, and there remained ° no strength in me : for 
my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and 
I retained no strength. 

9 p Yet heard I the voice of his words : and when 
I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep 
sleep on my face, and my face q toward the ground. 

10 And, behold, a hand r touched me, which set 
me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands : 

1 1 And he said unto me, O Daniel, s a man greatly 
beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, 
and * stand upright : for unto thee am I now sent. 
And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood 
trembling. 

12 Then said he unto me, u Fear not, Daniel ; for 
x from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to un- 
derstand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy 
words were heard, and I am come for thy words. 

1 3 But the y prince of the kingdom of Persia z with- 
stood me one and twenty days : but, lo, a Michael, 
one of the chief princes, came to help me ; and I 
remained there with the kings of Persia. 

1 4 Now I am come to make thee understand what 
shall befall thy people in the b latter days : for yet the 
vision is for many days. 

15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, 
I set my face toward the ground, and I became 
dumb. 

1 6 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons 
of men c touched my lips : then I opened my mouth 
and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O 
my lord, d by the vision my sorrows are turned upon 
me, and I have retained no strength. 

1 7 For how can the e servant of this my lord talk 
with this my lord ? for as for me, straightway there 
remained no strength in me, neither is there f breath 
left in me. 

18 Then there came g again and touched me one 
like the appearance of a man, and he h strengthened 
me, 

1 9 And said, ' O man greatly beloved, fear not ; 
peace be unto thee ; be strong, yea, be strong. And 
when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and 
said, Let my lord speak ; for thou hast strengthened me. 

20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come 
unto thee ? and now will I return k to fight with the 
prince of Persia : and when I am gone forth, lo, the 
prince of Greoia shall come. 

21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the 
'scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth 
with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

strength b through his riches he shall stir up all against 
the realm of c Grecia. 

3 And d a mighty king shall stand up, that shall 
rule with e great dominion, and do according to his will. 

4 And when he shall f stand up, his kingdom shall 
be broken, and shall be g divided toward the four 
winds of heaven ; and b not to his posterity, nor accord- 
ing to his dominion which he ruled : for his kingdom 
shall be plucked up, even for others ■ besides those. 

5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one 
of his princes ; and he shall be k strong above him, and 
have dominion ; his dominion shall be a great dominion. 

6 And in the end of years they shall join themselves 
together ; for the king's daughter of the south shall 
come to the king of the north to make an agreement : 
but she shall ' not retain the power of the arm; neither 
shall he stand, nor his arm ; but she shall be given up, 
and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and 
he that strengthened her in these times. 

7 But out of a branch of her roots shall one m stand 
up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and 
shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, 
and shall deal against them, and shall prevail ; 

8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt n their 
gods, with their princes, and with their t precious ves- 
sels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue °more 
years than the king of the north. 

9 So the king of the south shall come into his king- 
dom, and shall return into his own land. 

10 But his sons shall be p stirred up, and shall as- 
semble a multitude of great forces : and one shall 
certainly q come, and overflow, and pass through ; 
then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his 
fortress. 

1 1 And the king of the south shall be moved with 
choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even 
with the king of the north : and he shall set forth r a 
great multitude ; but the multitude shall be 3 given into 
his hand. 

12 And when he hath taken away the multitude, 
1 his heart shall be lifted up ; and he shall " cast down 
many ten thousands : but he shall x not be strength- 
ened by it. 

1 3 For the king of y the north shall return, and 
shall set forth a multitude z greater than the former, 
and shall certainly come after certain years with a 
great army and with much riches. 

1 4 And in those times there shall many stand up 
against the king of the south : also the a robbers of thy 
people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision ; 
but they shall fall. 

1 5 So the king of the north shall come, and cast 
up a mount, and take the most b fenced cities ; and 
the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his 
c chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to 
withstand. 

16 But he that cometh against him shall do ac- 
cording to his own will, and d none shall stand before 
him ; and he shall stand in the e glorious land, which 
by his hand shall be consumed. 

1 7 He shall also f set his face to enter with the 
strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with 
him ; thus shall he do : and he shall give him the 
daughter of women, g corrupting her ; but she shall 
not stand on his side, neither be for him. 

1 8 After this shall he turn his face unto the h isles, 
and shall take many ; but a prince ' for his own be- 
half shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease ; 



without his own reproach he shall cause it k to turn 
upon him. 

19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of 
his own land : but he shall stumble and fall, and ' not 
be found. 

20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of 
taxes in the glory of the kingdom : but within few 
days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger nor in 
battle. 

21 And in his estate shall stand up m a vile person, 
to whom they shall not give the honour of the king- 
dom : but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the 
kingdom n by flatteries. 

22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be over- 
flown from ° before him, and shall be broken ; yea, 
also the prince of the p covenant. 

23 And after the league made with him he shall 
q work deceitfully : for he shall come up, and shall 
become strong r with a small people. 

24 He shall enter s peaceably even upon the fattest 
places of the province ; and he shall do that which 
his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers ; he 
shall l scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and 
riches ; yea, and he shall u forecast his devices against 
the strong holds, even for a time. 

25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage 
against the king of the south with x a great army ; 
and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle 
with a very great and mighty army ; but he shall not 
stand : for they shall forecast devices against him. 

26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat 
shall y destroy him, and his army shall overflow ; and 
many shall fall down slain. 

27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mis- 
chief, and they shall speak z lies at one table ; but it 
shall a not prosper : for yet the end shall be at the 
time appointed. 

28 Then shall he return into his land with great 
riches ; and his heart shall be against the b holy cove- 
nant ; and he shall do exploits and return to his own 
land. 

29 At the time c appointed he shall return, and 
come toward the south : but it shall not be d as the 
former, or as the latter. 

30 For the ships of e Chittim shall come against 
him; therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and 
have f indignation against the holy covenant : so shall 
he do ; he shall even return, and g have intelligence 
with them that forsake the holy covenant. 

31 And h arms shall stand on his part, and they 
shall ' pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take 
away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the 
abomination that maketh desolate. 

32 And such as k do wickedly against the covenant 
shall he corrupt by flatteries : but the people that do 
'know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 

33 And they that m understand among the people 
shall instruct many ; yet they shall n fall by the sword, 
and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, "many days. 

34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen 
with p a little help : but many shall cleave to them

35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, 
r to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, 
even to the time of the end : because it is yet for s a

36 And || the king shall do according to his will ; 
and he shall exalt himself, and * magnify himself above

every god, and shall speak marvellous things against 
the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation 
be accomplished : for that that is determined shall be 
done. 

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, 
nor the u desire of women, nor regard x any god : for 
he shall magnify himself above all. 

38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of 
forces ; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall 
he honour y with gold, and silver, and with precious 
stones, and z pleasant things. 

39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with 
a * strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and in- 
crease with glory : and he shall cause them to rule 
over many, and shall divide the land for t gain. 

40 And at the b time of the end shall the c king of 
the south push at him : and the d king of the north 
shall come against him like a wliirlwind, with chariots, 
and with horsemen, and with many ships ; and he 
shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and 
pass over. 

41 He shall enter also into the e glorious land, and 
many countries shall be overthrown : but these shall 
escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and 
the chief of the children of Ammon. 

42 He shall f stretch forth his hand also upon the 
countries ; and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 

43 But he shall have power over the g treasures of 
gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of 
Egypt : and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be 
at his steps. 

44 But h tidings out of the east and out of the north 
shall trouble him : therefore he shall go forth with 
great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. 

45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace 
between the seas in the glorious holy mountain ; j'et 
he shall ' come to his end, and k none shall help him. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 Michael shall deliver Israel from their troubles. 5 Daniel 
is informed of the times. 

AND a at that time shall b Michael stand up, the 
great prince which slandeth for the children of 
thy people ; and there shall be a time of trouble, such 
as never was since there was a nation even to that 



same time : -and at that time thy people shall be c de- 
livered, every one that shall be found d written in the 
book. 

2 And many of them that e sleep in the dust of the 
earth shall awake, some to f everlasting life, and some 
to shame and everlasting g contempt. 

3 And they that be h wise shall shine as the bright- 
ness of the firmament ; and they that ' turn many to 
righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever. 

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and k seal 
the book, even to the time of the end : many shall 
1 run to and fro. and knowledge shall be m increased. 

5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood 
other two, the n one on this side of the bank of the 
river, and the other on that side of the bank of the 
river. 

6 And ° one said to the man clothed in linen, which 
teas p upon the waters of the river, How long shall it 
be to the end of these wonders ? 

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was 
upon the waters of the river, when he q held up his 
right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware 
by him that liveth for ever, that it shall be for r a time, 
times, and a half; and when he shall have accom- 
plished * to scatter the power of the holy people, all 
these things shall be finished. 

8 And I heard, but I * understood not : then said I, 
O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? 

9 And he said, u Go thy way, Daniel ; for the 
words are closed up and sealed x till the time of the 
end. 

1 Many shall be y purified, and made white, and 
tried ; but the wicked shall do z wickedly : and a none 
of the wicked shall understand ; but the b wise shall 
understand. 

1 1 And ° from the time that the daily sacrifice shall 
be taken away, and the abomination that maketh 
desolate set up, there shall be ° a thousand two hun- 
dred and ninety days. 

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and e cometh to the 
thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. 

1 3 But go thou thy way till the end be : for thou 
shalt f rest, and stand in thy s lot at the end of the 
days.

1 Hosea, to shew God's judgment for spiritual whoredom, 
taketh Gomer,fy-c. 10 Judah and Israel restored. 

THE word of the Lord that a came unto Hosea, 
the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, 
Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the clays 
of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. 

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord || by 
Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto 
thee a wife of whoredoms, and children of whore- 
doms : for the land hath committed b great whoredom, 
c departing from the Lord. 

3 So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of 
Diblaim ; which conceived, and bare him a son. 

4 And the Lord said unto him, Call his name 
Jezreel ; for yet a little while, and 1 will avenge the 
blood of d Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will 
cause to cease the kingdom of the e house of Israel. 

5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will 
f break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel. 



6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. 
And God said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah : 
for I will g no more have mercy upon the house of 
Israel ; but I will h utterly take them away. 

7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, 
and will save them ' by the Lord their God, and will 
not save them k by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, 
by horses, nor by horsemen. 

8 Now when she had ' weaned Lo-ruhamah, she 
conceived, and bare a son. 

9 Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi : for ye 
are m not my people, and I will not be your God. 

10 Yet the number of the n children of Israel shall 
be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured 
nor numbered : and it shall come to pass, that in the 
place where it was said unto them, Ye arc not my 
people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the 
sons of the living God. 

1 1 Then shall the children of Judah and the chil- 
dren of Israel be p gathered together, and appoint

CHAP. IT. 

1 The idolatry of the people. 6 God's judgments against 
them: 14 His promises of reconciliation with them. 

SAY a ye unto your brethren, Ammi ; and to your 
sisters, Ruhamah. 

2 b Plead with your mother, plead ; for she is not 
c my wife, neither am I her husband : let her, there- 
fore, put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and 
her adulteries from between her breasts ; 

3 Lest I d strip her naked, and set her as in the day 
that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and 
set her like a diy land, and slay her with e thirst. 

4 And I will not have mercy upon her children ; for 
they be the children of f whoredoms. 

5 For their g mother hath played the harlot ; she 
that conceived them hath done shamefully : for she 
said, h I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread 
and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and 
my drink. 

6 Therefore, behold, I will ' hedge up thy way with 
thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her 
paths. 

7 And she shall k follow after her lovers,, but she 
shall ' not overtake them •, and she shall seek them, 
but shall not find them : then shall she say, I will go 
and return to m my first husband ; for then was it 
n better with me than now. 

8 For she did ° not know that I gave her corn, and 
wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which 
they p prepared for Baal. 

9 Therefore will I q return, and r take away my 
corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season 
thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given 
to cover her nakedness. 

10 And now will I 8 discover her lewdness in the 
sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of 
my hand. 

11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her 
1 feast-days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and 
all her solemn feasts. 

12 And I will destroy her vines, and her "fig-trees, 
whereof she hath said, These are my x rewards, that 
my lovers have given me : and I will make them y a 
forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. 

13 And I will visit upon her the days of z Baalim, 
wherein she burnt incense to them, and she decked 
herself with her ear-rings and her jewels, and she went 
after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord. 

14 a Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring 
her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto 
her. 

1 5 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, 
and the b valley of Achor for a door of hope ; and she 
shall sing there, as in the days of her c youth, and as 
in the day when she came up oat of the land of 

Egypt- 

16 And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that 
thou shalt call me d Ishi, and shalt call me no more 
e Baali. 

1 7 For I will take away f the names of Baalim out 
of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered 
by their name. 

1 8 And hi that day will I make a covenant for them 
with the g beasts of the field, and with the fowls of 
heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground : 
and I will break the h bow, and the sword, and the 



battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie 
down ' safely. 

1 9 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever ; yea, 
I will k betroth thee unto me in ' righteousness, and 
in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies: 

20 I will even betroth thee unto me in m faithful- 
ness ; and thou D shalt know the Lord. 

2 1 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will 
hear, saith the Lord, I will ° hear the heavens ; and 
they shall hear the earth ; 

22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, 
and the oil ; and they shall p hear Jezreel. 

23 And I will q sow her unto me in the earth ; and 
I will have mercy upon her that r had not obtained 
mercy ; and I will say to them which were not my peo- 
ple, Thou art my people ; and they shall say, Tliou 
art my God. 

CHAP. III. 

By the expiation of an adulteress, is shewed the desolation of 
Israel before their restoration. 

THEN said the Lord unto me, a Go yet, love a 
woman beloved of her b friend, yet an adul- 
teress, according to the love of the Lord toward the 
children of Israel, who look to other gods, and c love 
flagons of wine. 

2 So I d bought her to me for e fifteen pieces of 
silver, and for a homer of barley, and a half homer 
of barley. 

3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt f abide for me 
many days : thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou 
shalt not be for another man ; so will g I also be for 
thee. 

4 For the children of Israel shall abide h many days 
without a king, and without a prince, and without a 
sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, 
and without teraphim. 

5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and 
seek the Lord their God, and ' David their king ; and 
shall k fear the Lord and his goodness in the ' latter 
days. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 God's judgments against the sins of the people, 6fc. \bJudah 
exhorted to take warning by Israel's calamity. 
EAR the word of the Lord, ye children of Is- 
rael : for the Lord hath a a controversy with the 
inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor 
mercy, nor b knowledge of God, in the land. 

2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, 
and committing adultery, they c break out, and blood 
toucheth blood. 

3 Therefore shall the land d mourn, and every one 
that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts 
of the field, and with the fowls of heaven ; yea, the 
fishes of the sea also shall be e taken away. 

4 Yet let no man f strive, nor reprove another : for 
this people are as they that strive g with the priest. 

5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the h day, and the 
prophet also shall fall with thee in the ' night, and I 
will destroy thy mother. 

6 ir My people are destroyed for k lack of know- 
ledge : because thou hast 1 rejected knowledge, I will 
also reject thee, that thou shalt be m no priest to me : 
seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will 
also n forget thy children. 

7 As they were ° increased, so they sinned against 
me ; therefore will I change their p glory into shame. 

8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set 
their heart on their iniquity.

9 And there shall be, q like people, like priest : and 
I will punish them for their ways, and reward them 
their doings. 

10 For they shall eat, and not have r enough ; they 
shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase : be- 
cause they have s left off to take heed to the Lord. 

1 1 Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take away 
the l heart. 

12 1T My people u ask counsel at their stocks, and 
their staff declareth unto them : for the x spirit of 
whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have 
gone a whoring from- under their God. 

13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the y mountains, 
and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks, and 
poplars, and elms, because the shadow thereof w good : 
z therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, 
and your spouses shall commit adultery. 

1 4 I will a not punish your daughters when they 
commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they com- 
mit adultery ; for themselves are b separated with 
whores, and they sacrifice with harlots, therefore the 
people that doth not understand shall fall. 

15 IT Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, c yet let 
not Judah offend ; and come not ye unto Gilgal, 
neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The Lord 
liveth. 

16 For Israel slideth back as d a backsliding heifer : 
now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in e a large 
place. 

1 7 Ephraim is joined to idols : f let him alone. 

1 8 Their drink is g sour 5 they have committed 
whoredom continually : her rulers with shame do love, 
h Give ye. 

1 9 The wind hath ' bound her up in her wings, arid 
they shall be k ashamed because of their sacrifices. 

CHAP. V. 

1 God's judgments against the priests, the people, and the 
princes of Israel, for their manifold sins. 

HEAR ye this, a O priests ; and hearken, ye house 
of Israel ; and give ye ear, O house of the king ; 
for judgment is toward you, because ye have been b a 
snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. 

2 And the reyolters are ° profound to make slaughter, 
though 1 have been J a rebuker of them all. 

3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is e not hid from me : 
for now, O Ephraim, thou committest f whoredom, 
and Israel is defiled. 

4 They will E not frame their doings to turn unto 
their God : for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst 
of them, and they have not known the Lord. 

5 And the pride of Israel doth h testify to his face : 
therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity, 
Judah also shall fall with them. 

6 They shall go with their flocks and with their 
herds to seek the Lord ; but they shall ' not find him: 
he hath withdrawn himself horn them. 

7 They have dealt treacherously against the Lord ; 
for they have begotten k strange children : now shall 
1 a month devour them with their portions. 

8 m Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet 
in Ramah : cry aloud at " Beth-aven, after thee, O 
Benjamin. 

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the ° day of rebuke: 
among the tribes of Israel have I made known that 
which shall p surely be. 

1 The princes of Judah were like them that re- 
move the q bound : therefore I will pour out my wrath 
upon them like water. 



CHAP. V, VI, VII. An exhortation to repentance. 

1 1 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, 
because he willingly walked after the 'commandment. 

1 2 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as 3 a moth, 
and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah s Job 13, 28 
saio his * wound, then went Ephraim to the u Assyrian, f s r a OT 5 o 2 ' 9 4 ' 
and sent to king Jareb : yet could he not heal you, nor t Jer. 30, 13. 
cure you of your wound. J 5 2 ^"S" 

14 For I will be unto Ephraim as x a lion, and as a s 2 Kings 
young lion to the house of Judah : I, even I, will tear 17 ' 9- 
and go away ; I will take away, and none shall rescue 

him. ' T a q-

CHAP. VI. 

1 An exhortation to repentance. 4 A complaint of their 
untowardness and iniquity. 

COME, and a let us return unto the Lord : for he a Ezek. 36, 
hath torn, and he will heal us : he hath smitten 
and he will bind us up. 

2 b After two days will he revive us ; in the third b ] Cor - 15 > 
day he will raise us up, and we shall c live in his sight, c isa. 26, 20. 

3 Then shall we know, if we d follow on to know 
the Lord : his e going forth is prepared as the morn- 
ing ; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the 
latter and former rain unto the earth. 

4 O Ephraim. f what shall I do unto thee ? O Ju- ( isa. 5, 4. 
dah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is Lukel9 > 42 - 
as g a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth s Ps - ?8,.34. 
away. 

5 Therefore have I h hewed them by the prophets ; b Jer. 23, 
I have slain them by the words of my mouth : and 29 ' 

thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. 

6 For I desired mercy, and ' not sacrifice ; and the 
k knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings. 

7 But they, like men, have ' transgressed the cove- 
nant : m there have they dealt treacherously against 
me. 

8 Gilead is " a city of them that work iniquity, and 
is polluted with blood. 

9 And as troops of robbers wait, for a man, so the 
"company of priests murder in the way by consent: o eh. 6,1,2. 
for they commit lewdness. 

10 I have seen p a horrible thing in the house of p Jer. 5,30. 
Israel : there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is 
defiled. 

1 1 Also, O Judah, he hath set q a harvest for thee, 
when I r returned the captivity of my people. 

CHAP. VII. 

1 A reproof of manifold sins. 1 1 God's wrath against the 
people for their hypocrisy. 

WHEN I would have a healed Israel, then the a Jer. si, ft 
iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the 
wickedness of Samaria : for they commit falsehood ; 
and the b thief comet h in, and the troop of robbers b John le, 
spoileth without : 

2 And they consider not in their hearts that c I c Jer. 17, 1.

have beset them about ; they are (1 before my feee. d p>- no, 8.

6 For they have k made ready their heart like an 
oven, while they ' lie in wait : their baker sleepeth all 
the night ; in the morning it burnetii as a flaming fire. 

7 They are all m hot as an oven, and have devour- 
ed their judges : all their n kings are fallen ; there is 
none among them that ° calleth unto me. 

8 Ephraim, he hath p mixed himself among the 
people ; Ephraim is a cake not turned. 

9 Strangers have q devoured his strength, and he 
knoweth it not ; yea, gray hairs are here and there 
upon him, yet he r knoweth not. 

10 And the a pride of Israel testifieth to his face ; 
and they do not return to the Lord their God, nor 
seek him l for all this. 

1 1 Ephraim also is like u a silly dove without heart : 
they call x to Egypt, they go to Assyria : 

1 2 When they shall go, 1 will spread my y net upon 
them ; I will bring them down as the fowls of the 
heaven; I will chastise them as their congregation 
z hath heard. 

1 3 Wo unto them ! for they have fled from me ; 
destruction unto them ! because they have transgressed 
against me : though I have a redeemed them, yet 
they have b .spoken lies against me. 

1 4 And they have c not cried unto me with their 
heart, when they howled upon their d beds : they 
assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they 
rebel against me. 

1 5 Though I have e bound and strengthened their 
arms, yet do they imagine mischief f against me 

16 They return, but s not to the Most High; they 
are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by 
the sword for the h rage of their tongue. This shall 
be their derision in the land of Egypt. 

CHAP. VIII. 

Destruction threatened for Israel's impiety, and idolatry. 

G<E T the trumpet to thy mouth : a he shall come as 
^ an eagle against the house of the Lord, because 
they have transgressed b my covenant, and trespassed 
against my law. 

2 Israel shall c cry unto me, My God, d we know 
thee. 

3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is e good : the 
enemy shall pursue him. 

4 They have f set up kings, but not by me ; they 
have made princes, and I E knew it not : of their sil- 
ver and their gold have they h made them idols, that 
they may be cut off. 

5 ] Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine 
anger is kindled against them ; k how long will it be 
ere they attain to innocency ! 

6 For from Israel aw it also : the workman made 
it ; therefore it is l not God : but the calf of Samaria 
shall be broken in pieces. 

7 For they have m sown the wind, and they shall 
reap the whirlwind : it hath no stalk ; the bud shall 
yield no meal : if so be it yield, the c strangers shall 
swallow it up. 

8 Isf ael is ° swallowed 
among the Gentiles as a 
pleasure. 

9 For they are gone up q to Assyria, a 
alone by himself: Ephraim hath 'hired lovers. 

1 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, 
now will I s gather them, and they shall sorrow a 
1 little for the burden of the king of princes. 

1 1 Because Ephraim hath made many altars n t< 
sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

1 2 I have written x to him the great things of my 
law, but they were counted as a strange thing. 

1 3 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine 
offerings, and eat it; but the Lord y accepteth them 
not : now will he remember their iniquity, and visit 
their sins : they shall return z to Egypt. 

14 For Israel hath forgotten his a Maker, and build- 
eth b temples ; and Judah hath multiplied fenced 
cities : but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it 
shall devour the palaces thereof. 

CHAP. IX. 

The distress and captivity of Israel for sin and idolatry. 
EJOICE not, O Israel, for joy, a as other peo- 
ple : for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God ; 
thou hast loved b a reward upon every corn-floor. 

2 The floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, 
and the new wine shall fail in her. 

3 They shall not dwell in c the Lord's land ; but 
Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat 
d unclean things in Assyria. 

4 They shall not offer wine-offerings to the Lord, 
neither shall they be e pleasing unto him : their sacri- 
fices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners ; all 
that eat thereof shall be polluted : for their bread f for 
their soul shall not come into the house of the Lord. 

5 What will ye do in the E solemn day, and in the 
day of the feast of the Lord ? 

6 For, lo, they are gone because of destruction : 
Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury 
them : the pleasant places for their silver, h nettles 
shall possess them : ' thorns shall be in theii taber- 
nacles. 

7 The days of visitation are come, the days of 
recompense are come ; Israel shall know it : the 
k prophet is a fool, the \ spiritual man is mad, for the 
multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred. 

8 m The watchman of Ephraim was with my God : 
but the prophet is n a snare of a fowler in all his ways, 
and. hatred in the house of his God. 

9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the 
days of ° Gibeah : therefore he will remember then- 
iniquity, he will visit their sins. 

1 I found Israel like p grapes in the wilderness ; I 
saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her 
first time : but they went to q Baal-peor and separated 
themselves unto that shame ; and their abominations 
were according as they loved. 

1 1 As for Ephraim, r their glory shall flee away 
like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and 
from the conception. 

1 2 Though they bring up their cliildren, yet will I 
9 bereave them, that there shall not be a man left : yea, 
wo also to them when 1 1 depart from them ! 

13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a plea- 
sant place : but Ephraim shall bring forth his children 
to the u murderer. 

14 x Give them, O Lord : what wilt thou give? 
give them y a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 

1 5 All their wickedness is in z Gilgal ; for there I 
hated them : for the wickedness of their doings I will 
drive them out of a my house, I will love them no 
more : all their princes are revolters. 

16 Ephraim is smitten, their b root is dried up, they 
shall bear no fruit ; yea, though they bring forth, yet 
will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. 

17 My God will cast them away, because they did 
c not hearken unto him : and they shall be d wander- 
ers among the nations.

Israel reproved for impiety. CHAP. X, 

CHAP. X. 

Israel reproved and threatened for impiety and idolatry. 

ISRAEL is a an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit 
b unto himself: according to the multitude of his 
fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the 
goodness of his land they have made goodly images. 

2 Their heart is c divided ; now shall they be found 
faulty : he shall break down their altars, he shall 
spoil their images. 

3 For now they shall say, We have d no king, be- 
cause we e feared not the Lord ; what then should a 
king do to us ? 

4 They have spoken f words, swearing falsely in 
making a covenant : thus g judgment springeth up as 
hemlock in the furrows of the field. 

5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of 
the calves of Beth-aven : for the people thereof shall 
mourn over it, and the t priests thereof that rejoiced 
on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed 
from it. 

6 It shall be also carried unto Assyriayo7 - a present 
to king h Jareb : Ephraim shall receive shame, and 
Israel shall be ashamed of his ' own counsel. 

7 As for Samaria, k her king is cut off as the foam 
upon the water. 

8 The high places also of Aven, the ' sin of Israel, 
shall be destroyed : the thorn and the thistle shall 
come up on their altars, and they shall say to the 

m Rev. 6,16. mountains, m Cover us ; and to the hills, Fall on us. 
oJudg. 19, 9 O Israel, thou hast sinned "from the days of 

Gibeah ; there they stood : the battle in Gibeah 
o Judg. 20, against ° the children of iniquity did not overtake 

them. 

10 It is in p my desire that I should chastise them ; 
and the people shall be gathered against them, when 
they shall bind themselves in their two furrows. 

11 And Ephraim is as a heifer that is taught, and 
loveth q to tread out the corn ; but I passed over upon 
her fair neck : I will make Ephraim r to ride ; Judah 
shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods. 

12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in 
mercy ; s break up your fallow ground : for it is l time 
to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness 
upon you. 

1 3 Ye have " plowed wickedness, ye have reaped 
iniquity : ye have eaten the fruit of lies : because thou 
didst trust in thy way, in the x multitude of thy mighty 
men. 

1 4 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, 
and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shahnan 
spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle : the y mother 
was dashed in pieces upon her children. 

1 5 So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your 
great wickedness: in a 'morning shall the king of 
Israel be utterly cut off. 

CHAP. XI. 

1 The ingratitude of Israel unto God for his benefits : 5 His 
judgment. 8 God , s mercy toward them. 

WHEN Israel ivas a child, then n I loved him, and 
called b my son out of Egypt. 

2 As c they called them, so they went from them : 
they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burnt incense to 
graven images. 

3 I taught Ephraim also d to go, taking them by 
their e arms; but they knew not that I healed them 

4 I drew them with f cords of a man, with bands 
of love ; and 1 was to them as they that take off the 
yoke on their jaws, and I g laid meat unto them.

XI, XII. Ephraim, <^c. rep, 

5 He shall h not return into the land of Egypt, but 
the Assyrian shall be ' his king, because they refused 
to return. 

6 And the k sword shall abide on his cities, and 
shall consume his branches, and devour them, because 
of their own ' counsels. 

7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me : 
though m they called them to the Most High, none at 
all would exalt him. 

8 n How shall I give thee up, Ephraim ? how shall 
I deliver thee, Israel ? how shall I make thee as Ad- 
mah 1 how shall I set thee as Zeboim ? ° My heart 
is turned within me, my repentings are kindled to- 
gether. 

9 I will P not execute the fierceness of mine anger, 
I will not return to destroy Ephraim : for q I am God, 
and not man ; the Holy One in the midst of thee ; 
and I will not enter into the city. 

1 They shall walk r after the Lord ; he shall roar 
like a lion : when he shall roar, then the children shall 
tremble from the west. 

1 1 They shall s tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and 
as a dove out of the land of Assyria : and I will place 
them in their houses, saith the Lord. 

12 Ephraim compasseth me about l with lies, and 
the house of Israel with deceit : but Judah yet " ruleth 
with God, and is faithful with the saints. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 A reproof of Ephraim, Judah, and Jacob. 7 Ephraim'' s 
sins and ingratitude provoke God. 

EPHRAIM feedeth on H wind, and followeth after 
the east wind : he daily increaseth lies and deso- 
lation ; and they do make a covenant with the Assy- 
rians, and b oil is carried into Egypt. 

2 The Lord hath also a controversy with 'Judah. 
and will punish Jacob according to his ways ; d accord- 
ing to his doings will he recompense him. 

3 He took his brother e by the heel in the womb, 
and by his strength he had f power with God : 

4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed ; 
he wept and made supplication unto him : he found 
him in g Beth-el, and there he spake h with us ; 

5 Even the Lord God of hosts ; The Lord is his 
' memorial. 

6 Therefore turn thou to thy God : k keep mercy 
and judgment, and ' wait on thy God continually. 

7 He is a merchant, the m balances of deceit are 
in his hand : he loveth to oppress. 

8 And Ephraim said, Yet 1 am become " rich, I 
have found me out substance : in all my labours they 
shall find ° none iniquity in me that were sin. 

9 And I, thai am the Lord thy God p from the land 
of Egypt, will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, 
as in the days of the solemn feast. 

10 || I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have 
multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry 
of the prophets. 

11 Is there iniquity in Gilead ? surely they ar;^ 
vanity: (1 they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal ; yea, uieii 
altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields. 

12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and 
Israel served for a 'wife, and for a wife he kept 
sheep. 

13 And by s a prophet the Lord brought Israel out 
of Egypt, and by a prophet was he l preserved. 

14 Ephraim " provoked him to anger most bitterly : 
therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his 
reproach shall his Lord x return unto him.

HEN Ephraim spake a trembling, he b exalted 
Israel ; but when he offended in 



himself in 
Baal, he c died. 

2 And now they sin d more and more, and have 
made them molten images of their silver, and idols 

ch2 Tim. 3, according to their own e understanding, all of it the 
« Mat. 15,9. work of the craftsmen : they say of them, Let the men 
Col. 3, 25. t h a t sacr ince kiss the calves. 

3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, 
f Dan. 2,35. and as the early dew that passeth away ; as the f chaff 

that is driven with a whirlwind out of the floor, and 
as the smoke out of the chimney. 

4 Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of 
Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me : for there 

g Acts 4, 12. is s no saviour besides me. 

5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of 
great h drought. 

6 According to their pasture, so were they filled ; 
they were filled, and their heart was exalted ; there- 
fore have they ' forgotten me. 

7 Therefore I will be unto them k as a lion ; as a 
leopard by the way will I observe them. 

8 I will meet them as ' a bear that is bereaved of 
her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and 
there will 1 devour them like a lion : the wild beast 
shall tear them. 

9 O Israel, thou hast m destroyed thyself; but in 
n me is thy help. 

1 I will be ° thy king : where is any other that may 
save thee in all thy cities ? and thy judges, of whom 
thou saidst, p Give me a king and princes ? 

1 1 I gave thee q a king in mine anger, and took 
him away in my wrath. 

12 The iniquity of Ephraim is T bound up ; his sin 
is hid. 

13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come 
upon him : he is an 8 unwise son ; for he should not 
stay long in the place of the l breaking forth of children.

1 Joel, declaring sundry judgments of God, exhorteth to ob~ 
serve them, and to mourn : 14 He prescribeth a fast. 

THE a word of the Lord that came to Joel, the 
son of Pethuel. 

2 b Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye in- 
habitants of the land. Hath this been in c your days, 
or even in the days of your fathers ? 

3 Tell ye a your children of it, and let your children 
tell their children, and their children another generation ; 

4 That which the palmer-worm hath left, e hath the 
locust eaten ; and that which the locust hath left, hath 
the canker-worm eaten ; and that which the canker- 
worm hath left, hath the caterpillar eaten. 

5 ' Awake, ye drunkards, and weep ; and howl, 
all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine ; for 
it is E cut off from your mouth. 

6 For h a nation is come up upon i my land, strong, 
and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a 
lion, and he hath the k cheek-teeth of a great lion. 

7 He hath laid my ' vine waste, and m barked my 
fig-tree ; he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; 
tiie branches thereof are made white. 



8 Lament like a n virgin girded with sackcloth for n isa. 22, 12. 
the husband of her youth. * 

9 The ° meat-offering and the drink-offering is cut ° Ze P h - ^ 
off from the house of the Lord: the p priests, the p Lev. 10, a 
Lord's ministers, mourn. 

10 The field is wasted, q the land mourneth ; for q Jer. 12,11. 
the com is wasted : the new wine is dried up, the oil 
languisheth. 

11 r Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen ; howl, O * Isa - 9 > * 
ye vine-dressers, for the wheat and for the barley; 
because the harvest of the field is perished. 

1 2 The vine is dried up, and the fig-tree languished! ; 
the pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree also, and the 
apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered : 
because ' joy is withered away from the sons of s Ps 4, 7 
men. 

1 3 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests ; howl, 
ye l ministers of the altar ; come, u lie all night in 
sackcloth, ye ministers of my God : for the meat-offer- 
ing and the drink-offering x is withholden from the 
house of your God. 

1 4 Sanctify ye y a fast, call a solemn assembly, 
gather the elders, and all the z inhabitants of the land,

18 How do the e beasts groan ! the herds of cattle 
are perplexed, because they have no pasture ; yea, 
the flocks of sheep are made desolate. 

19 O Lord, f to thee will I cry : for the fire hath 
Micah 7, 6, devoured th e pastures of the wilderness, and the flame

20 The beasts of the field g cry also unto thee : for 
the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath 
devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

1 The terribleness of God's judgments : 1 2 He exhorleth to 
repentance, 18 and promiseth a blessing thereon. 
LOW ye the trumpet in Zion, and a sound an

b isa. 66, 2. bitants of the land b tremble : for the day of the Lord 
cometh, for it is nigh at c hand : 

2 A day of darkness, and of gloominess, a day of 
dPs. 18,13. d clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread 

upon the mountains : e a great people and a strong ; 
there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any 
more after it, even to the years of many generations.

5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains 
shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fixe that de- 
voureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 

6 Before their face the people shall be much pained ; 
all faces shall gather t blackness.

down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead 
with them there for my people, and for my heritage 
Israel, whom they have c scattered among the nations, 
and parted my land. 

3 And they have d cast lots for mj people : and have 
given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that 
they might drink. 

4 Yea, and what have ye to do e with me, O Tyre, 
and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine ? will ye 
render me a recompense ? and if ye recompense me, 
f swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense 
upon your own head : 

5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, 
and have carried into E your temples my goodly plea- 
sant things. 

6 h The children also of Judah, and the children of 
Jerusalem, have ye ' sold unto the Grecians, that ye 
might remove them far from their border. 

7 Behold, I will raise them k out of the place 
whither ye have sold them, and will return your ' re- 
compense upon your own head : 

8 And I will m sell your sons and your daughters 
into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall 
sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the 
Lord hath spoken it. 

9 n Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles ; Prepare 
war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war 
draw near, let them come up : 

10 Beat your plow-shares into swords, and your 
pruning-hooks into spears : let the weak say, I am 
strong. 

1 1 ° Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, 



and gather yourselves together round about; thither 
cause thy v mighty ones to come down, O Lord. 

1 2 Let the heathen be q wakened, and come up to 
the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will M sit to judge 
all the heathen round about. 

1 3 Put ye in the sickle ; for s the harvest is ripe : 
come, get you down ; for the press is full, the fats over- 
flow ; for the wickedness is great. 

14 * Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision : 
for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. 

15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and 
the stars shall withdraw their shining. 

16 The Lord also shall " roar out of Zion, and 
utter his voice from Jerusalem : and the heavens and 
the earth shall shake : but the Lord will be the t hope 
of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 

17 So shall ye x know that I am the Lord your 
God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain : then shall 
Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no y strangers pass 
through her any more. 

1 8 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the 
z mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills 
shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall 
flow with waters, and a a fountain shall come forth of the 
house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim. 

1 9 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be 
a desolate wilderness, for the b violence against the 
children of Judah, because they have shed innocent 
blood in their land. 

20 But Judah shall dwell for c ever, and Jerusalem 
from generation to generation. 

21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not 
cleansed : for the Lord d dwelleth in Zion.

CHAP. I. 

Amos sheweth God's judgments upon Syria, cj*c. 

THE words of Amos, who was among the a herd- 
men of b Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel 
in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days 
of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years 
before the c earthquake. 

2 And he said, d The Lord will e roar from Zion, 
and utter his voice from Jerusalem ; and the habitations 
of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel 
shall wither. 

3 Thus saith the Lord, For f three transgressions 
of Damascus, and for E four, I will not turn away the 
punishment thereof; because they h have threshed

4 But ! I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, 
which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad. 

5 I will break also the k bar of Damascus, and cut 
off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him 
that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden : 
and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto 
Kir, saith the Lord. 

6 IT Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions 
of Gaza, > and for four, I will not turn away the 
punishment thereof; because they 'carried away cap- 
tive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom :

9 IT Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions 
of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the 
punishment thereof; because they delivered up the 
whole captivity p to Edom, and remembered not the 
q brotherly covenant : 

1 But I will send a fire on T the wall of Tyrus, 
which shall devour the palaces thereof. 

1 1 IT Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions 
of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the pun- 
ishment thereof; because he did 8 pursue his brother 
with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his an- 
ger did tear perpetually, and kept his wrath for ever : 

1 2 But I will send, a fire upon Teman, which 
shall devour the palaces of Bozrah. 

1 3 IT Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions 
of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not 
turn away the punishment thereof; because they have 
u ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they 
might * enlarge their border : 

14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, 
and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with y shout- 
ing in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of 
the whirlwind : 

1 5 And their z king sliall go into captivity, he and 
his princes together, saith the Lord.

c with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of

3 And I will cut off the d judge from the midst 
thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, 
saith the Lord. 

4 IF Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions 
of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the pun-

of the Lord, and have not kept his commandments, 
and their lies caused them to err, after the which 
f their fathers have walked ;

6 IT Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions

8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid

9 Yet ° destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose 
p height was like the height of the cedars, and he was

10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, 
and r led you forty years through the wilderness, to 
possess the land of the Amorite. 

1 1 And I raised up of your sons for 8 prophets, and 
of your young men for Nazarites. * Is it not even 
tlvus, O ye children of Israel ? saith the Lord. 

1 2 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink ; and 
commanded the prophets, saying, u Prophesy not. 

13 Behold, I am * pressed under you, as a cart is 
pressed that is full of sheaves. 

14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, 
and the y strong shall not strengthen his force, neither 
shall the mighty deliver himself: 

15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow ; 
and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: 
neither shall he that z rideth the horse deliver himself:

Exhortations to repentance. AMOS. 

1 I have sent among you the pestilence, after the 
manner ° of Egypt : your young men have I slain 
with the sword, and have taken away your horses ; 
and I have made the stink of your camps to come up 
unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, 
saith the Lord. 

Ill have overthrown p some of you, as God over- 
threw Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a fire- 
brand q plucked out of the burning : yet have ye not 
returned unto me, saith the Lord. 

12 Therefore r thus will I do unto thee, O Israel : 
and because I will do this unto thee, prepare s to meet 
thy God, O Israel. 

13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and 
createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is 
his l thought, that maketh the morning u darkness, and 
treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The Lord, 
the God of hosts, is his name. 

CHAP. V. 

1 A lamentation for Israel. 4 An exhortation to repentance. 
21 God rejecleth their hypocritical service. 

HEAR ye this word which I take up against you, 
even a a lamentation, O house of Israel. 

2 The b virgin of Israel is fallen ; she shall c no 
more rise : she is forsaken upon her land ; there is 
none to raise her up. 

3 For thus saith the Lord God, The city that went 
out by a thousand shall leave a hundred, and that 
which went forth by a hundred shall leave ten, to the 
house of Israel. 

4 For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, 
d Seek ye me, and ye shall e live. 

5 f But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and 
pass not to Beer-sheba : for Gilgal shall surely go into 
captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought. 

6 Seek the Lord, and ye shall live ; lest he break 
out like g fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, 
and there be none to quench it in Beth-el. 

7 h Ye who turn judgment to ' wormwood, and 
leave off righteousness in the earth, 

8 Seek him that maketh the seven k stars and Orion, 
and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, 
and maketh the day dark with night : that ' calleth 
for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon 
the face of the earth : The Lord is his name : 

9 That strengthened the "spoiled against the strong, 
so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. 

1 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and 
they abhor him that n speaketh uprightly. 

1 1 Forasmuch, therefore, as ° your treading is upon 
the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat ; ye 
have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall p not 
dwell in them ; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, 
but ye shall not drink wine of them. 

1 2 For q I know your manifold transgressions and 
your mighty sins : they afflict the just, they take a 
bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from 
their right. 

13 Therefore the 'prudent shall keep silence in 
that time ; for it is 8 an evil time. 

1 4 t Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live ; and 
so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as 
ye have u spoken. 

1 5 * Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish 
judgment in the gate : it may be that the Lord God 
of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. 

1 6 Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, 
saith thus, Wailing shall be in all streets ; and they

for I will not hear the s melody of thy viols. 

24 But let judgment run down as waters, and right- 
eousness h as a mighty stream. 

25 Have ye offered ' unto me sacrifices and offer- 
ings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel ? 

26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your k Mo- 
loch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, 
which ye made to yourselves. 

27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity

The God of hosts.

Judgments of the grassnoppers, fyc CHAP. Vll, 

12 Shall horses °run upon the rock? will one plow 
there with oxen ? for ye have turned judgment into 
gall, and the fruit of righteousness into p hemlock. 

13 Ye wluch rejoice in a thing of q nought, which 
say, Have we not taken to us horns by r our own 
strength ? 

14 But, behold, 9 1 will raise up against you a nation, 

house of Israel, saith the Lord, the God of hosts ; 
and they shall afflict you from the entering in of 
Hamath unto the river of the wilderness. 

CHAP. VII. 

The judgments of grasshoppers, and of fire, are diverted by 
the prayer of Amos, fyc. 

THUS hath the Lord God shewed unto me ; and, 
behold, he formed a grasshoppers in the begin- 
ning of the shooting up of the latter growth ; and, lo, 
it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. 

2 And it came to pass, that when they had made 
b an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, c O 
Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee ; by whom shall 
Jacob arise ? for he is d small. 

3 The Lord e repented for this : it shall not be, 
saith the Lord. 

4 1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, 
behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and 
it devoured the f great deep, and did eat up a part. 

5 Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee ; 
E by whom shall Jacob arise ? for he is small. 

6 The Lord repented for this : This also shall not 
be, saith the Lord God. 

7 IT Thus he shewed me ; and, behold, the Lord 
stood upon a wall made by a plumb-line, b with a 
plumb-line in his hand. 

8 And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest 
thou ? And I said, A plumb-line. Then said the 
Lord, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of 
my people Israel : I will ' not again pass by them any 
more : 

9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, 
and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste ; and 

1 will rise against the k house of Jeroboam with the 
sword. 

1 IT Then Amaziah, the ' priest of Beth-el, sent 
to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath m con- 
spired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel ; 
the land is not able n to bear all his words. 

1 1 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall ° die by 
the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive 
out of their own land. 

1 2 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, 
p flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat

CHAP. VIII. 

1 By a basket of summer-fruit is shewed Israel's end. 
pression of the poor reproved. 

THUS hath the Lord God shewed unto me : and, 
behold, a a basket of summer-fruit. 

2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said. 
A basket b of summer-fruit. Then said the Lord unto 
me, c The end is come upon my people of Israel ; I will 2 c °j * 'P' |£ 
not again pass by them any more. 

3 And the d songs of the temples shall be howlings 
in that day, saith the Lord God : there shall be e many 
dead bodies in every place ; they shall cast them forth 
with silence. 

4 IT Hear this, O ye that f swallow up the needy, 
even to make the poor of the land to fail, 

5 Saying, When will the g new moon be gone, that s 2 Ki "g* 
we may sell corn ? and the sabbath, that we may set p'^1'2, 3. 
forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel 1^. 58, 3. 
great, and falsifying the balances by deceit ? ^ al y , 3 

6 That we may h buy the poor for silver, and the h Lev 25, 
needy for a pair of shoes ; yea, and sell the refuse of ^ 9 eh 5 , 3 
the wheat ? chap. 2, 5.' 

7 The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, 
Surely I will never forget any of their works. 

8 Shall not the ' land tremble for this, and every i p s . go, 2. 
one mourn that dwelleth therein ? and it shall rise up ^ e o r 3 9 ' j 2 - 
wholly as k a flood ; and it shall be cast out and k Ezek. 29, 
drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. 

9 And it shall come to pass ' in that day, saith the 
Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down m at 
noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day : 

1 And I will turn your feasts n into mourning, and 
all your songs into lamentation ; and I will bring up 
sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head ; 
and I will make it as the mourning of an only S071, and 
the end thereof as a ° bitter day. 

1 1 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that 
I will send a famine in the land ; not a famine of 
bread, nor a thirst for water, p but of hearing the words 
of the Lord : 

12 And they shall q wander from sea to sea, and q Dan. 12.4. 
from the north even to the east 5 they shall run to and 

fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall r not find it. r isa. 5, 5,6. 

13 In that day shall the 8 fair virgins and young s p r . 11,-22. 
men faint for thirst. 

1 4 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, 

Thy god, l O Dan, liveth ; and, The manner of Beer- 1 1 Kings

1 The destruction of Edom for their pride. 17 The salva- 
tion and victory of Jacob. 
THE vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord 
God concerning Edom, a We have heard a ru- 
mour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent 
among the heathen, b Arise ye, and let us rise up 
against her in battle. 

2 Behold, I have made thee c small among the hea- 
then : thou art greatly despised. 

3 The pride of thy heart hath d deceived thee, thou 
that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habita- 
tion is high ; that e saith in his heart, Who shall bring 
me down to the ground ? 

4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and 
though thou set thy f nest among the stars, thence 
will I bring thee down, saith the Lord. 

5 s If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, 
(how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen 
till they had enough ? if the grape-gatherers came to 
thee, would they b not leave some grapes ? 

6 How are the \\ things of Esau searched out ! how 
are his hidden things sought up ! 

7 All the men of thy ' confederacy have brought 
thee even to the border : the men that were at peace 
with thee have k deceived thee, and prevailed against 
thee ; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under 
thee : there is none understanding in him. 

8 Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even 
destroy ' the wise men out of Edom, and understand- 
ing out of the mount of Esau ? 

9 And thy m mighty men, O Teman, shall be dis- 
mayed, to the end that every one of the mount of 
Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 

10 For thy " violence against thy brother Jacob, 
shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for 
ever. 

1 1 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, 
in the day that the p strangers carried away captive 
his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and 
q cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of 
them. 



12 But thou shouldest not have r looked on the day 
of thy brother, in the day that he became a stranger ; 
neither shouldest thou have 8 rejoiced over the chil- 
dren of Judah in the day of their destruction ; neither 
shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of 
distress. 

1 3 Thou shouldest l not have entered into the gate 
of my people in the day of their calamity ; yea, thou 
shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day 
of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their sub- 
stance in the day of their calamity : 

14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the cross- 
way, to cut off those of his that did escape ; neither 
shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did 
remain in the day of distress. 

15 For the u day of the Lord is near upon all the 
heathen : x as thou hast done, it sliall be done unto 
thee ; thy reward shall return upon thine own head. 

1 6 For as y ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, 
so shall all the heathen drink continually : yea, they 
shall drink, and they shall z swallow down, and they 
shall be as though they had not been. 

17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and 
there shall be holiness ; and the house of Jacob a shall 
possess their possessions. 

1 8 And the b house of Jacob shall be a fire, and 
the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau 
for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour 
them ; and there shall not be any remaining of the 
house of Esau : for the Lord hath spoken it. 

19 And they of the south shall possess the c mount 
of Esau ; and they of the plain the Philistines : and 
they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields 
of Samaria; and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. 

20 And the captivity of this host of the children of 
Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto 
Zarephath ; and the captivity of Jerusalem, d which is 
in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south. 

21 And e saviours shall come up on mount Zion to 
judge the mount of Esau ; and the f kingdom shall be 
the Lord's.

CHAP. I. 

1 Jonah, sent to Nineveh, fleeth to Tarshish : 4 He is over- 
taken by a tempest, and thrown into the sea, fyc. 
NOW the word of the Lord came " unto Jonah, 
the son of Amittai, saying, 

2 Arise, go to Nineveh, b that great city, and cry 
against it ; for their wickedness is come up c before 
me. 

3 But Jonah rose up d to flee unto Tarshish 8 from 
the presence of the Lord, and went down to Jop- 
pa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he 
paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go 
with them unto Tarshish e from the presence of the 
Lord. 

4 But the Lord f sent out a great wind into the 
sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so 
that the ship was like to be broken. 

5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every 
man 6 unto his god, and h cast forth the wares that 
were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them 
but Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship ; 
and he lay, and was ' fast asleep. 

6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto 
him, k What meanest thou, O sleeper ? arise, l call 
upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, 
that we perish not. 

7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and 
let us m cast lots, that we may know for whose cause 
this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot 
n fell upon Jonah. 

8 Then said they unto him, ° Tell us, we pray thee, 
for whose cause this evil is upon us. What is p thine 
occupation ? and whence comest thou ? what is thy 
country ? and of what people art thou ? 

9 And he said unto them, I q am a Hebrew ; and 
r I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath 
made the sea and the dry land. 

10 Then were the men exceedingly 8 afraid, and 
said unto him, Why hast l thou done this ? (for the 
men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, 
because he had told them.) 

1 1 Then said they unto him, u What shall we do 
unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us ? (for 
the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.) 

1 2 And he said unto them, * Take me up, and cast 
me forth into the sea ; so shall the sea be calm unto 
you : for I know that y for my sake this great tempest 
is upon you. 

1 3 Nevertheless, the men z rowed hard to bring it 
to the land ; but they a could not : for the sea wrought, 
and was tempestuous against them. 

1 4 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, 
We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us 
not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us 
innocent blood : for thou, O Lord, hast done b as it 
pleased thee. 

15 So they took up Jonah, and c cast him forth into 
the sea ; and the sea d ceased from her raging. 

16 Then the men "feared the Lord exceedingly, 
and 'offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made 
vows 

17 Now the Lord had g prepared a great fish to 
swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of 
the fish three days and h three nights. 

4 A 



chap. n. 

1 The prayer of Jonah : 10 He is delivered out of the belly 
of the fish. 

THEN Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God a out 
of the fish's belly, 

2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction 
unto the Lord, and he b heard me ; out of the belly 
of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. 

3 For thou hadst cast c me into the deep, in the 
midst of the seas ; and the floods d compassed me 
about : all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. 

4 Then e I said, I am cast out of thy sight ; yet I 
will f look again toward thy holy temple. 

5 The e waters compassed me about even to the 
soul : the depth closed me round about, the weeds 
were wrapped about my head. 

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains ; 
the earth with her bars was about me for ever : h yet 
hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord 
my God. 

7 When my soul fainted within me ' I remembered 
the Lord ; and my prayer came in unto thee, into thy 
holy temple. 

8 They that observe lying vanities k forsake their 
own mercy. 

9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of 
1 thanksgiving ; I will pay that that I have vowed. 
Salvation is of the Lord. 

10 And the Lord m spake unto the fish, and it 
vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. 

CHAP. III. 

Jonah, sent again, preacheth to the Ninevites, fyc. 

AND the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the 
a second time, saying, 

2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and 
preach unto it the preaching b that I bid thee. 

3 So Jonah arose, and c went unto Nineveh, accord- 
ing to the word of the Lord. (Now Nineveh was 
an exceeding great city, of three days' journey.) 

4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's 
journey ; and he cried, and said, d Yet forty days, and 
Nineveh shall be overthrown. 

5 So the e people of Nineveh believed God, and 
proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the 
greatest of them even to the least of them. 

6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and 
r he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from 
him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in 
ashes. 

7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and * pub- 
lished through Nineveh, (by the decree of the king and 
his nobles,) saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd 
nor flock, taste any thing ; let them not feed, nor drink 
water. 

8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, 
and ciy mightily unto God : yea, let them h turn every 
one from Ins evil way, and from the violence that is 
in their hands. 

9 ' Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and 
turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not ? 

10 And God k saw their works, that they turned 
from their evil way ; and God repented of the evil that 
he had said that he would do unto them ; and he did

Jonah, repining at God's mercy, is reproved by the type

BUT it a displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was

2 And he b prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray 
thee, O Lord, was not this my saying when I was 
yet in my country ? c Therefore I fled before unto 
Tarshish : for T knew that thou art a gracious God, 
and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, 
and repentest thee of the evil. 

3 Therefore now, O Lord, d take, I beseech thee, my 
life from me : for it is e better for me to die than to live. 

4 Then said the Lord, f Doest thou well to be angry ? 

5 So Jonah g went out of the city, and sat on the 
east side of the city, and there h made him a booth, 
and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what 
would become of the city. 

6 And the Lord God ' prepared a gourd, and made 
it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow 



over his head, to deliver him from his k grief. So Jonah 
was ' exceeding glad of the gourd. 

7 But God prepared a worm, when the morning rose 
the next day, and it m smote the gourd that it withered. 

8 And it came to pass, when the " sun did arise, 
that God prepared a vehement east wind ; and the 
sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and 
° wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me 
to die than to live. 

9 And God said to Jonah, p Doest thou well to be 
angry for the gourd ? And he said, q I do well to be 
angry, even unto death. 

10 Then said the Lord, Thou hast r had pity on 
the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither 
madest it grow ; which came up in a night, and perished 
in a night : 

1 1 And should not I s spare Nineveh, that * great 
city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons 
that cannot discern between their u right hand and 
their left hand ; and also much cattle ?

CHAP. I. 

1 Micah sheweth the wrath of God against Jacob for idolatry : 
10 He exhcrteth to mourning. 

THE word of the Lord that came to a Micah the 
b Morasthite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and 
Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning 
Samaria and Jerusalem. 

2 TI Hear, c all ye people ; hearken, O earth, and 
all that therein is : and let the Lord God d be witness 
against you, the Lord from his holy temple. 

3 For, behold, the Lord e cometh forth out of his 
place, and will come down, and f tread upon the high 
places of the earth. 

4 And the E mountains shall be molten under him, 
and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the 
fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep 
place. 

5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for 
the sins of the house of Israel. h What is the trans- 
gression of Jacob ? is it not ' Samaria ? and what are 
the high places of Judah ? are they not k Jerusalem ? 

6 Therefore I will make Samaria as ' a heap of the 
field, and as plantings of a vineyard : and I will pour 
down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will 
m discover the foundations thereof. 

7 And all the " graven images thereof shall be beaten 
to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burnt with 
the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate : 
for she ° gathered it of the hire of a harlot, and they 
shall return to the hire of a harlot. 

8 Therefore I will p wail and howl, I will go stripped 
and naked : I will make a wailing like the dragons, 
and mourning as the owls. 

9 For her wound is incurable ; for q it is come unto 
Judah : he is come unto the gate of my people, even 
to Jerusalem. 

1 r Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all : 
in the house of Aphrah 9 roll thyself in the dust. 

1 1 l Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having 
" thy shame naked ; the inhabitant of Zaanan came 
not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel ; he shall receive 
of you his standing. 

i 2 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully 



for good ; but evil came down * from the Lord unto 
the gate of Jerusalem. 

13 O thou inhabitant of y Lachish, bind the chariot 
to the swift beast : she is the z beginning of the sin to 
the daughter of Zion ; for the transgressions of Israel 
were found in thee. 

1 4 Therefore shalt thou "give presents to Moresheth- 
gath : the houses of Achzib shall be h a. lie to the kings 
of Israel. 

1 5 Yet will I bring c an heir unto thee, O inhabitant 
of Mareshah : he shall come unto Adullam the glory 
of Israel. 

1 6 d Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy e delicate 
children ; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle ; for they 
are gone into captivity from thee. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Against oppression. 7 A reproof of injustice and idolatry. 
12 A promise of restoring Jacob. 

WO to them that a devise iniquity, and work evil 
upon their beds ! when the morning is light, 
they practise it, because it is in the b power of their 
hand. 

2 And they c covet fields, and take them by violence ; 
and houses, and take them away : so they oppress a 
man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 

3 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, against 
this family do I d devise an evil, from which ye shall 
e not remove your necks ; neither shall ye go haughtily : 
for this time is f evil. 

4 g In that day shall one take up a parable against 
you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, 
We be utterly spoiled ; he hath h changed the portion 
of my people: how ha'h he removed it from me! 
turning away he hath divided our fields. 

5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a 
cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord. 

6 5 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy : 
they shall k not prophesy to them that they shall not 
take shame. 

7 O thou that art l named The house of Jacob, is 
the Spirit of the Lord m straitened ? are these his 
doings 1 do not my words do n good to him that walketh 
uprightly 1

The cruelty of the princes. 

8 Even of late my people is ° risen up as an enemy 
ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that 
pass by securely as men averse from war. 

9 The women of my people have ye cast out from 
their pleasant houses ; from their children have ye 
taken away my glory for ever. 

10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your p rest : 
because it is q polluted, it shall destroy you, even with 
a sore destruction. 

1 1 If a man, r walking in the spirit and falsehood 
do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of s wine, and 
of strong drink ; he shall even be the prophet of tliis 
people. 

1 2 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee ; I 
will surely l gather the remnant of Israel ; I will put 
them together as the sheep of u Bozrah, as the flock in 
the midst of their fold : they shall make great noise by 
reason of the multitude of men. 

1 3 The x breaker is come up before them : they 
have broken up, and have passed through the gate, 
and are gone out by it : and y their King shall pass 
before them, and the Lord on the head of them. 

CHAP. III. 

1 The cruelty of the princes. 5 The falsehood of the prophets. 
8 The security of them both. 

AND I said. Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, 
and ye princes of the house of Israel ; 7s it not 
a for you to know judgment ? 

2 Who b hate the good, and love the evil ; who 
c pluck off then skin from off them, and their flesh from 
off their bones 5 

3 Who also d eat the flesh of my people, and flay 
their skin from off them ; and they break their bones, 
and chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as flesh 
within the caldron. 

4 Then shall they e cry unto the Lord, but he will 
not hear them.; he will even hide his face from them 
at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in 
their doings. 

5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that 
make my people err, that r bite with their teeth, and 
cry, Peace : and he that s putteth not into their mouths, 
they even prepare war against him : 

6 Therefore h night shall be unto you, that ye 
shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto 
you, that ye shall not divine ; and the sun shall go 
down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over 
them. 

7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners 
confounded ; yea, they shall all cover their ' lips : for 
there is no k answer of God. 

8 But truly I am ' full of power by the Spirit of the 
Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto 
Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. 

9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of 
Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor 
judgment, and pervert all equity. 

10 They build up Zion m with blood, and Jerusalem 
with iniquity. 

1 1 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the 
priests thereof n teach for hire, and the prophets thereof 
divine for money : yet will they ° lean upon the Lord, 
and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can 
come upon us. 

12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed 
as a field ; and Jerusalem shall become p heaps ; and 
the mountain of the house as the high places of the 
forest.

The restoration of the church. 
CHAP. IV. 

1 The establishment of Christ'' s kingdom: 3 The peace, resto- 
ration, kingdom, and victory of the church. 
BUT in the last days it shall come to pass, that the 
a mountain of the house of the Lord shall be 
established in the top of the mountains, and it shall 
be exalted above the hills ; and b people shall flow 
unto it. 

2 And c many nations shall come and say, Come, 
and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to 
the house of the God of Jacob ; and he will teach us 
of his ways, and we will walk in his paths : for the 
law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord 
d from Jerusalem. 

3 And he shall e judge among many people, and 
rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat 
their swords into plowshares, and their spears into 
pruning-hooks : nation shall not lift up a sword against 
nation, neither shall f they learn war any more. fRev. 19,19. 

4 But they shall °sit every man under his vine, and & 3„ 7 
under his fig-tree ; and none shall make them afraid : s ' 
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it. 

5 For all people will walk every one in the name 

of h his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord h Jer. 1, 5. 
1 our God for ever and ever. 

6 In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her 
that k halteth, and I will gather her that is ' driven out, k isa. 35,3. 
and her that I have afflicted ; l ££ ^ 18 - 

7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and 21, 22. 
her that was cast far off m a strong nation : and the ra Iia - 33 . 
n Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion from hence- n f aa . 9) 6 . 
forth, even for ever. 

8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold 
of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even 
the first dominion ; the kingdom shall come to the 
daughter of Jerusalem. 

9 Now why dost thou ° cry out aloud 1 is there p no 
king in thee ? is thy counsellor perished ? for q pangs- 
have taken thee as a woman in travail. 

10 r Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter 
of Zion, like a woman in travail ; for s now shalt thou 
go forth out of the city, and thou shalt l dwell in the * 5 C 
field, and thou shalt u go even to Babylon ; x there shalt r i 9 ° r '66, 9." 
thou be delivered ; there the Lord shall redeem thee 
from the hand of thine enemies. 

1 1 Now also y many nations are gathered against 
thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye 
look upon Zion. 

12 But they know not the z thoughts of the Lord, ztch.u, 1. 
neither understand they his counsel : for he shall z isa. 55,' 8. 
a gather them as the sheaves into the floor. ^'ioci V'?*' 

13 Arise and b thresh, O daughter of Zion ; fori blsa.41,15. 
will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs £j* u - 2 < 35 
brass ; and thou shalt beat in pieces many people : and 
I will c consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their 
substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the 
Lord, that I will cut off thy y horses out of the midst

1 1 And I will cut off the z cities of thy land, and 
throw down all thy strong holds : 

1 2 And 1 will cut off a witchcrafts out of thy hand ; 
and thou shalt have no more soothsayers : 

1 3 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy 
standing images, out of the midst of thee 5 and thou

CHAP. I. 

The majesty of God in goodness to his people, and severity 
against his enemies. 

THE burden of a Nineveh. The book of the 
vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. 

2 God is b jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the 
Lord revengeth, and is furious : the Lord will take 
vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath 
for his enemies. 

3 The Lord is c slow to anger, and great in power, 
and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath 
his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the 
clouds are the dust of his feet. 

4 He d rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and 
drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and 
Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. 

5 The e mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, 
and the earth is burnt at his presence, yea, f the world, 
and all that dwell therein. 

6 g Who can stand before his indignation ? and 
who can abide in the fierceness of his anger ? his fury 
is b poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown 
down by him. 

7 The Lord is ' good, a strong hold in the day 
of trouble ; and he k knoweth them that trust in 
him. 

8 ' But with an over-running flood he will make an 
utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall 
pursue his enemies. 

9 What do ye m imagine against the Lord ? he 
will make an utter end : affliction shall not rise up the 
second time. 

10 For while they be n folden together as thorns, 
and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall 
be devoured as stubble fully diy. 

1 1 There is one come out of thee that imagineth 
evil against the Lord, a ° wicked counsellor. 

12 Thus saith the Lord, Though they be p quiet, 
and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, 
when he shall pass through. Though I have q af- 
flicted thee, I will afflict thee r no more. 

1 3 For now will I " break his yoke from off thee, 
and will burst thy bonds in sunder. 

14 And the Lord hath 'given a commandment

concerning thee, that no more of thy u name be sown : 
out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven 
image, and the molten image ; I will make thy grave ; 
for thou art vile. 

1 5 Behold upon the x mountains the feet of him 
that bringeth y good tidings, that publisheth peace ! O 
Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows : for 
the wicked shall no more pass through thee ; he is 
utterly cut off. 

CHAP. II. 

Judah and Israel being punished, God sendeth fearful armies 
against their enemies. 

HE that a dasheth in pieces is come up before thy 
face : b keep the munition, watch the way, make 
thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily. 

2 For the Lord hath turned away c the excellency 
of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel : for the d emp- 
tiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine 
branches. 

3 The shield of his e mighty men is made red, the 
valiant men are in scarlet : the chariots shall be with 
flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the 
fir-trees shall be terribly shaken. 

4 The f chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall 
justle one against another in the broad ways : they 
shall seem like g torches, they shall run like the light- g isa. 13, 9 
nings. 

5 He shall recount his h worthies : they shall stum- 
ble in their walk ; they shall ' make haste to the wall 
thereof, and the defence shall be prepared. 

6 The k gates of the rivers shall be opened, and 
the palace shall be dissolved. 

7 And || Huzzab shall be led away captive, she 
shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her 
as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their 
breasts. 

8 But Nineveh is of old like a pool of ' water ; yet 
they shall flee away. m Stand, stand, shall they cry; 
but none shall look back. 

9 Take ye the D spoil of silver, take the spoil of 
gold ; for there is none end of the store and glory out 
of all the pleasant furniture. 

10 She is empty, and void, and waste-, and the 
heart "melteth, and the knees smite together, and

the sword shall devour thy young lions ; and I will 
cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy 
1 messengers shall no more be heard. 

CHAP. III. 

1 The miserable ruin of Nineveh : 8 /Vo power able to resist 
God: 15 Their sudden destruction. 

WO to the a bloody city ! it is all b full of lies and 
robbery ; the prey departeth not ; 

2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rat- 
tling of the c wheels, and of the prancing horses, and 
of the jumping chariots. 

3 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword 
and the glittering spear : and there is a multitude of 
slain, and a great number d of carcases ; and there is 
none end of their corpses ; they stumble upon their 
corpses : 

4 Because of the multitude of the e whoredoms of 
the well-favoured harlot, the f mistress of witchcrafts, 
that g selleth nations through her whoredoms, and 
families through her witchcrafts. 

5 Behold, I am h against thee, saith the Lord of 
hosts ; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, 
and I will shew the nations thy ' nakedness, and the 
kingdoms thy shame. 

6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and 
make k thee vile, and will set thee as ' a gazing- 
stock. 

7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look 
upon thee shall m flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is 
laid n waste : ° who will bemoan her ? whence shall 
I seek comforters for thee ? 

8 Art thou better than p populous No, that was 



situate q among the rivers, that had the waters round 
about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was 
from the sea ? 

9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was 
infinite 5 Put and Lubim were thy r helpers. 

1 Yet was she s carried away, she went into cap- 
tivity : her young children also were * dashed in pieces 
at the top of all the streets ; and they cast lots for her 
honourable men, and all her great men were u bound 
in chains. 

1 1 Thou also shalt be x drunken : thou shalt be 
y hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the 
enemy. 

1 2 All thy strong holds shall be like z fig-trees with 
the first-ripe figs : if they be shaken, they shall even 
fall into the a mouth of the eater. 

13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee b are 
women : the gates of thy land shall be set wide 
open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy 
c bars. 

1 4 Draw thee waters for the siege, d fortify thy 
strong holds : go into e clay, and tread the mortar, 
make strong the brick-kiln. 

15 There shall the f fire devour thee; the sword 
shall cut thee off; it shall eat thee up like the canker- 
worm: make thyself many as the canker-worm, 
make thyself many as the locusts. 

16 Thou hast multiplied thy g merchants above the 
stars of heaven : the canker-worm spoileth, and fleeth 
away. 

1 7 Thy h crowned are as the locusts, and thy ' cap- 
tains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the 
hedges in the cold day; but when the sun ariseth 
they flee away, and their place is not known where 
they are. 

1 8 Thy k shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria ; 
thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is 
1 scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth 
them. 

1 9 There is no healing of thy bruise ; thy wound 
is grievous : all that hear the bruit of thee m shall clap 
the hands over thee : for upon whom hath not n thy 
wickedness passed continually ?

1 Unto Habakkuk, complaining of the iniquity of the land, 
5 is shewed the fearful vengeance by the Chaldeans. 

THE burden which Habakkuk the prophet did 
a see. 

2 O Lord, b how long shall I cry, and thou wilt 
c not hear ! even cry out unto thee of violence, and 
thou wilt not save ! 

3 Why dost thou d shew me iniquity, and cause me 
to behold grievance ? for spoiling and violence are 
before me : and there are that raise up strife and 
contention. 

4 Therefore the law is e slacked, and judgment doth 
never go forth : for the wicked doth f compass about the 
righteous ; g therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. 

5 IF Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, 
and wonder marvellously ; for I will h work a work 
in your days, which ye will ' not believe, though it be 
told you. 

6 For, lo, I raise up the k Chaldeans, that bitter 



and ! hasty nation, which shall march through the l i«a. 5, 26. 
breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling-places that Jer ' 25, M 
are not theirs. 

7 They are terrible and dreadful : their judgment 
and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. 

8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, 

and are more fierce than the m evening wolves : and m Jer. 5, 6. 
their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their Ze P h. 3,3. 
horsemen shall come from far ; they shall fly as the

10 And they shall scoff p at the kings, and the gs^ 
princes shall be a scorn unto them : they shall deride ' 
every strong hold ; for they shall « heap dust, and Jj^g 
take it. 

1 1 Then shall r his mind change, and he shall pass risa. i4,ia

thou hast established them for correction. 

1 3 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and

The judgment upon the Chaldeans for their sins. 

I WILL stand upon my a watch, and set me upon 
the tower, and will watch to see what he will say 
|| unto me, and what I shall answer when I am 
reproved. 

2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write 
the vision, and make it plain upon b tables, that he may 
run that readeth it. 

3 For the vision is yet for c an appointed time, but at 
the end it shall speak, and not lie : though it tarry, wait 
for it ; because it will surely d come, it will not 
tarry. 

4 Behold, his soul which is e lifted up is not upright 
in him : but the f just shall live by his faith. 

5 Yea also, because he transgresseth s by wine, he 
is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who h en- 
largeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot 
be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and 
heapeth unto him all people : 

6 Shall not all these take up ' a parable against 
him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, 
Wo to him that increaseth that which is not his ! 
how long ? and to him that ladeth himself k with thick 
clay ! 

7 Shall they not rise up ' suddenly that shall bite 
thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt 
be for booties unto them 1 

8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the 
remnant of the people shall spoil thee ; because of 
men's blood, and for the m violence of the land, of the 
city, and of all that dwell therein. 

9 Wo to him that n coveteth an evil covetousness 
to his house, that he may set his ° nest on high, that 
he may be delivered from the power of evil ! 

10 Thou hast consulted p shame to thy house by 
cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy 
soul. 

1 1 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the 
beam out of the timber shall answer it. 

12 Wo to him that buildeth a town with blood, and 
established! a city by iniquity ! 

1 3 Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the 
people shall labour in the q very lire, and (he people 
shall weary themselves for very vanity ? 

14 For the r earth shall be filled with the know-

and the eartli was full of his praise. 

4 And his brightness was as the light ; he had e horns 
coming out of his hand : and there was the hiding of 
his power. 

5 Before him we.-t the r pestilence, and burning 
coals went forth at his feet. 

6 He stood and g measured the earth: he beheld, &Acts 17, 
and drove asunder the nations ; and the everlasting 
mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow : 
his ways are everlasting. 

7 I saw the tents of Cushan h in affliction : and the 
curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. 

8 Was the Lord displeased against the rivers ? was 

thine anger against the ' rivers ? was thy wrath against > E *. H 14

9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the 
oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst 
k cleave the earth with rivers. 

1 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled ; 
the overflowing of the water passed by : the deep 
uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high. 

1 1 The ' sun and moon stood still in their habita- 
tion : at the light of thine arrows they went, and at 
the shining of thy glittering spear. 

12 Thou didst march through the land in indigna- 
tion, thou m didst thresh the heathen in anger. 

13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy peo- 
ple, even for salvation with thine "anointed; thou n2S "" ' 
woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by } , s ; 77 . 20

CHAP. 

1 When Zephaniah prophesied. 2 God's severe judgment 
against Judah for divers sins. 

THE a word of the Lord which came unto Ze- 
phaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, 
the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of 
Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah. 

2 I will utterly b consume all things from off the 
land, saith the Lord. 

3 I will consume c man and beast ; I will consume 
the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea ; and 
the d stumbling-blocks with the wicked ; and I will cut 
off man from off the land, saith the Lord. 

4 I will also stretch out my hand upon Judah, and 
upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; and I will cut 
off the remnant of e Baal from this place, and the 
name of the Chemarims with the priests ; 

5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon 
the house-tops ; and them that worship and that f swear 
by the Lord, and that swear by Malcham ; 

6 And them that are g turned back from the Lord ; 
and those that have h not sought the Lord, nor inquired 
for him. 

7 ' Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God ; 
for the day of the Lord is at hand : for the Lord hath 
prepared k a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. 

8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's 
sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the ' king's 
children, and all such as are clothed with strange 
apparel. 

9 In the same day also will I punish all those that 
leap on the threshold, which m fill their masters' houses 
with violence and deceit. 

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the 
Lord, that there shall be the n noise of a cry from the 
fish-gate, and a howling from the second, and a great 
crashing from the hills. 

11° Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the 
merchant people are cut down; all they that bear 
silver are cut off. 

1 2 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will 
p search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men 
that are q settled on their lees ; that say in their heart, 
The Lord will not r do good, neither will he do evil. 

1 3 Therefore their goods s shall become a booty, 
and their houses a desolation : they shall also build 
houses, but not inhabit them y and they shall plant 
vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. 

14 The l great day of the Lord is near, it is near, 
and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the 
Lord : the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. 

15 u That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble 
and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a 
day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and 
thick darkness,

1 7 And I will bring distress upon men, that they 
shall walk like y blind men, because they have sinned 
against the Lord : and their blood shall be * poured 
out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. 

18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall a be able aPr. 11, 4

4 The judgment of the Philistines, 8 of Moab and Amman, 
12 oj Ethiopia, 13 and Assyria. 

GATHER yourselves together, yea, gather to- 
gether, O nation a not desired ; 

2 Before the b decree bring forth, before the day 
pass as the chaff, before the c fierce anger of the Lord 
come upon you, before the day of the Lord's anger 
come upon you. 

3 Seek ye the Lord, all ye d meek of the earth, 
which have wrought his judgment ; seek righteous- 
ness, seek meekness : it may be ye shall be e hid in 
the day of the Lord's anger. 

4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a 
desolation : they shall drive out Ashdod at the f noon- 
day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. 

5 Wo unto the inhabitants of the sea-coast, the 
nation of the s Cherethites ! the word of the Lord is 
against you; h O Canaan, the land of the 'Philistines, I 
will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. 

6 And the sea-coast shall be dwellings and cottages 
for shepherds, and folds for flocks. 

7 And the coast shall be fcr the k remnant of the 
house of Judah ; they shall feed thereupon : in the 
houses of \ Ashkelon shall they lie down in the eve- 
ning ; for the Lord their God shall visit them, and 
m turn away their captivity. 

8 IT I have heard the n reproach of Moab, and the 
revilings of the children of Amnion, whereby they 
have reproached my people, and magnified themselves 
against their border. 

9 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Israel, Surely ° Moab shall be as Sodom, and 
the children of Amnion as Gomorrah, even the breed- 
ing of nettles, and salt-pits, and a perpetual desolation: 
the residue of my people shall p spoil them, and the 
remnant of my people shall possess them. 

10 This shall they have for their q pride, because 
they have reproached and magnified themselves against 
the people of the Lord of hosts. 

11 The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he 
will r famish all the gods of the earth ; and men shall 
worship him, every one from his s place, even all the 
isles of the heathen.

pressing city ! 

2 She obeyed not the voice ; she received not 
blsa 29,13. correction : she trusted not in the Lord ; she b drew 

not near to her God. 

3 Her princes within her are roaring lions ; her 
c Jer. 5, 6. judges are c evening wolves ; they gnaw not the bones 
Hab. l, 8. -till the morrow. 

4 Her prophets are u light and treacherous persons : 
her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have 
done e violence to the law. 

5 The just Lord is in the f midst thereof; he will 
E not do iniquity : every morning doth he bring his 
judgment to light, he faileth not ; but the unjust know- 
eth h no shame. 

6 I have ' cut off the nations : their towers are 
desolate ; I made their streets waste, that k none 
passeth by : their cities are destroyed, so that there is 
no man, that there is none inhabitant. 

7 I said, Surely thou wilt ' fear me, thou wilt re- 
ceive instruction : m so their dwelling should not be 
cut off, howsoever I punished them : but they rose 
early, and corrupted all their doings. 

8 Therefore n wait ye upon me, saith the Lord,

1 9 Behold, at that time I will f undo all that af-

her that was driven out ; and I will get them 6 praise 
and fame in every land where they have been put to 
shame. 

20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the

and they came, and " did work in the house of the 
Lord of hosts, their God, 

15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, 
in the second year of Darius the king. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Haggai encourageth the people to the work : 1 He sheweth 
that their sins hindered the work, fyc. 

fN the a seventh month, in the one and twentieth 
day of the month, came the word of the Lord by 
the prophet Haggai, saying, 

2 b Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, 
governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedeeh, 
the high priest, and to the residue of the people, 
saying, 

3 Who is c left among you that saw this house in 
her first glory ? and how do ye d see it now ? is it not 
in your eyes in comparison of it as e nothing ? 

4 Yet now f be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the 
Lord ; and be strong, O Joshua son of Josedeeh, the 
high priest ; and be strong, all ye people of the land, 
saith the Lord, and g work : for I am with you, saith 
the Lord of hosts. 

5 According to the word that I covenanted with you 
when ye came out of Egypt, so h my Spirit remaineth 
among you : fear ye not. 

6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, Yet once, it is 
1 a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the 
earth, and the sea, and the dry land ; 

7 And I will shake all nations, and k the Desire of 
all nations shall come : and I will ' fill this house with 
glory, saith the Lord of hosts. 

8 The m silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith 
the Lord of hosts. 

9 The glory of this latter house shall n be greater 



than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts : and in this 
place will I give ° peace, saith the Lord of hosts. 

10 If In the four and twentieth day of the ninth 
month, in the second year of Darius, came the word 
of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, 

11 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, p Ask now the 
priests concerning the law, saying, 

1 2 If one bear q holy flesh in the skirt of his gar- 
ment, and with his skirt do r touch bread, or pottage, 
or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy 1 And 
the priests answered and said, s No. 

1 3 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by * a 
dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean ? And 
the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean. 

14 Then answered Haggai, and said, u So is this 
people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord ; 
and so is every x work of their hands ; and that which 
they offer there is unclean. 

1 5 And now, I pray you, consider y from this day 
and upward, from before z a stone was laid upon a 
stone in the temple of the Lord ; 

1 6 Since those days were, when one came to a heap 
of twenty measures, there were but ten : when one 
came to the press-fat, for to draw out fifty vessels out 
of the press, there were but twenty. 

17 I smote you with a blasting, and with mildew, 
and with hail, in all the labours of your hands ; b yet 
ye turned not to me, saith the Lord. 

1 8 Consider now from c this day and upward, from 
the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even 
from the day that the d foundation of the Lord's temple 
was laid, consider it. 

1 9 Is the seed yet in the barn 1 yea, as yet the vine, 
and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive- 
tree, hath not brought forth : from this day will e I 
bless you. 

20 IF And f again the word of the Lord came unto 
Haggai, in the four and twentieth day of the month, 
saying, 

21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, say- 
ing, I will 6 shake the heavens and the earth ; 

22 And I will overthrow the h throne of kingdoms ; 
and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the 
heathen ; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those 
that ride in them; and the horses and their riders 
shall come down, ' every one by the sword of his 
brother. 

23 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take 
thee, O Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel, 
saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet : for I 
have k chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.

The vision of the horses, <$*c. 

7 IT Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh 
month, which is the month Sebat, in tiie second year 
of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, 
the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet,; 
saying. 

8 1 saw by night, and, behold, ' a man riding upon 
k a red horse, and he stood among the ' myrtle-trees 
that ivere in the bottom ; and behind him were there 
red horses, speckled, and white. 

9 Then said I, O my lord, m what are these ? And 
the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will 
shew thee what these be. 

1 And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees 
answered and said, These are they whom the Lord 
hath n sent to walk to and fro through the earth. 

1 1 And they answered the angel of the Lord that 
stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have 
walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all 
the earth p sitteth still, and is at rest. 

12 Then the q angel of the Lord answered and said, 
O Lord of hosts, r how long wilt thou not have mercy 
on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which 

Ban "12, 6. thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten 
years ? 

1 3 And the Lord answered the angel that talked 
with me with l good words, and comfortable words. 

1 4 So the angel that communed with me said unto 
me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
J am "jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great 
jealousy. 

1 5 And I am x very sore displeased with the heathen 
that are at ease : for I was but a little displeased, and 

yjer.25,3. they y helped forward the affliction, 
i isa. 12, i. J 6 Therefore thus saith the Lord, z I am returned 
!b i'i3 <0 Jerusalem with mercies : a my house shall be built 

in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be 

stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 

1 7 Ciy yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
My cities through prosperity shall yet be b spread 
abroad ; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and 
shall yet choose Jerusalem. 

1 8 IT Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, 
behold, c four horns. 

1 9 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, 
What be these ' And he answered me, These are the 
horns which have d scattered Judah, Israel, and Je- 
rusalem. 

20 And the Lord shewed me four e carpenters. 

21 Then said I, What come these to do ? And he 
spake, saying, These are the horns which have scat- 

f isa 35, 5. tered Judah, so that f no man did lift up his head : but 
these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of 

gP«. 75, 4. the Gentiles, which lifted up their 6 horn over the land 
of Judah to scatter it. 

CHAP. II. 

Jin angel sent to measure Jerusalem, and its flourishing state 
under God's protection foretold. 

I LIFTED up mine eyes again, and looked, and, 
behold, a man with a a measuring-line in his 
hand. 

2 Then said I, Whither goest thou 1 And he said 
unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the 
h breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. 

3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went 
cch.1,8,9. forth, and c another angel went out to meet him,

1 Under the type of Joshua, the restoration of the church 
promised. 8 Christ foretold. 

AND he shewed me Joshua the high priest stand-

standing at his right hand to resist him. h p° 109. a'. 

2 And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord c re- 31.

4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood 
before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments 
from him. And unto him he said, Behold. 1 have 
r caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will 
clothe thee with g change of raiment. 

5 And I said, Let them set '' a fair mitre upon his 1

clothed him with garments. And the angel of the 
Lord stood by. 

6 And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, 
saying, 

7 Thus saith the. Lord of hosts, If thou wilt ' walk 
in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then jj.' 
thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep 
my courts ; and I will give thee places to walk among

8 Hear now, () Joshua the high priest, thou and

By the golden candlestick is foreshewed the good success oj 
ZerubbabeTs foundation. 
ND the angel that talked with me came again 
and ;i waked me, as a man that is wakened out 
of his sleep, 

2 And said unto me, What seest thou ? And 1 
said, I have looked, and behold a b candlestick all of 
gold, with c a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven 
d lamps thereon, and seven e pipes to the seven lamps 
which were upon the f top thereof; 

3 And g two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side 
of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof; 

4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked 
with me, saying, h What are these, my lord ? 

5 Then the angel that talked with me answered 
and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be ? 
And 1 said, ' No, my lord. 

6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying. 
This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, say- 
ing T k Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, 
saith the Lord of hosts. 

7 Who art thou, ' O great mountain ? before Ze- 
rubbabel thou shalt become a plain : and he shall bring 
forth the head-stone thereof m with shoutings, crying, 
Grace, grace, unto it. 

8 Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the founda- 
tion of this house, his hands shall also n finish it ; and 
thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me 
unto you. 

1 For who hath despised the ° day of small things ? 
for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in 
the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven ; they are 
the p eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through 
the whole earth. 

1 1 IF Then answered I, and said unto him, What 
are these two q olive-trees upon the right side of the 
candlestick, and upon the left side thereof? 

12 And I answered again, and said unto him, 
What be these two olive-branches, which, through 
the two golden r pipes, empty the golden oil out of 
themselves ? 

1 3 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou 
not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 

14 Then said he, These arc the two t anointed 
ones, that stand by the Lord of the 8 whole earth. 

CHAP. V. 

1 By the flying roll, is shewed the curse of thieves and of 
false swearers. 5 Babylon's ruin. 

THEN I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and 
looked, and behold a a flying roll. 

2 And he said unto me, What seest thou ? And I 
answered, I see a flying roll ; the b length thereof is 
twenty cubits, and the c breadth thereof ten cubits. 

3 Then said he unto me, This is the d curse that 
goeth forth over the face of the whole earth : for ever}' 
one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side, ac- 
cording to it ; and every one that sweareth shall be 
cut off as on that side, according to it. 

4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lqrd of hosts, and 
it shall e enter into the house of the thief, and into the 
house of him that sweareth falsely by my name : and 
it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall 
consume it, with the timber thereof, and the stones 
1 hereof. 

6 *S Then the angel that talked with me went 




forth, and said unto me, r Lift up now thine eyes, and 
see what is this that goeth forth. 

6 And I said, What is it ? And he said, This is 
1 an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This 
is their resemblance through all the earth. 

7 And, behold, there was lifted up a h talent of lead : 
and this is ' a woman that sitteth in the midst of the 
ephah. 

8 And he said, This is k wickedness. And he cast 
it into the midst of the ephah, and he cast the weight 
of lead upon ' the mouth thereof. 

9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, be- 
hold, there came out m two women, and the wind was 
in their wings ; (for they had n wings like the wings of 
a stork ;) and they lifted up the ephah between the 
earth and the heaven. 

10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, 
Whither do these bear the ephah ? 

1 1 And he said unto me, To build it a house in 
the land of ° Shinar ; and it shall be established, and 
set p there upon her own base. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 The vision of the four chariots. 9 The temple and king-

ND I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, 
and, behold, there came four a chariots out from 
between two mountains ; and the mountains were 
mountains of b brass. 

2 In the first chariot were c red horses, and in the 
second chariot d black horses, 

3 And in the third chariot e white horses, and in 
the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. 

4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that 
talked with me, What are these, my lord ? 

5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These 
are the four f spirits of the heavens, which go forth 
from E standing before the Lord of all the earth. 

6 The black horses which are therein go forth into 
the h north country : and the ' white go forth after 
them ; and the grisled go forth toward the k south 
country. 

7 And the [| bay went forth, and ' sought to go, 
that they might walk to and fro through the earth : 
and m he said, Get ye hence, walk to and fro through 
the earth. So they walked to and fro through the 
earth. 

8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, say- 
ing, Behold, these that go toward the north country 
have n quieted my spirit in the north country. 

9 IT And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

10 ° Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, ° ?««™- 16.

1 The captives inquire of fasting : 4 Zechariah reproveth

AND it came to pass, in the a fourth year of king

Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even 
in h Chisleu ; 

2 When they had c sent unto the house of God,

priests, saying, When ye h fasted and mourned in the 
fifth and ' seventh month, even those seventy years, 
did ye at all k fast unto me, even to me 1 

6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, 
did not ye eat ' for yourselves, and drink for your- 
selves? 

7 Should ye not m hear the words which the Lord 
hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem 
was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof 
round about her, when men inhabited the south and the 
plain ? 

8 IT And the word of the Lord came unto Zechariah, 
saying, 

9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Exe- 
cute "true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions 
every man to his brother : 

1 And ° oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, 
the stranger, nor the poor ; and let none of you imagine 
evil against his brother in your heart. 

1 1 But they refused to hearken, and p pulled away 
the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should 
not hear. 

12 Yea, they made their hearts as an q adamant - 
stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words 
which the Lord of hosts hath sent in liis Spirit by the 
former prophets : therefore came r a great wrath from 
the Lord of hosts. 

13 Therefore it is come to pass, that, as he cried, 
and they would not hear ; s so they cried, and I would 
not hear, saith the Lord of hosts- 

14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among 
all the nations whom they knew not : thus the land was 
1 desolate after them, that no man passed through nor 
returned ; for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

VII, VIII. The restoration of Jerusalem. 

and will c dwell in the midst of Jerusalem ; and Je- 
rusalem shall be called, d A city of truth ; and the 
mountain of the Lord of hosts, The holy mountain. 

4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, There shall yet 
e old men and old women dwell in the streets of Je- 
rusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for 
very age. 

5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys Zeph ' 3 ' 5 - 
and gills playing in the streets thereof. 

6 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, If it be marvellous 
r in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, 
should it also be marvellous in my eyes ? saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will E save 
my people from the east country, and from the west 
country ; 

8 And I will bring them, and they shall h dwell h Jc>-. 3, is. 
in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my Amos9 - 14 - 
people, and I will be their God, in truth and in right- 
eousness. 

9 H Thus saith the Lord of hosts, ■ Let your hands 
be strong, ye that hear in k these days these words by 
the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that k Ezra 3, 8. 
the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was 
laid, that the temple might be built. 

10 For before these days there was l no hire for iHag. 2,«. 
man, nor any hire for beast ; neither was there any lti - 
m peace to him that went out or came in, because of m2Chr. is, 
the affliction : for I set n all men every one against his „' Neh 5 l 
neighbour. 2. 

1 1 But now I will not be unto the residue of this IVa 45 - 7 
people "as in the former days, saith the Lord of ops. 103,9, 
hosts. 

1 2 For the seed shall be prosperous ; the vine shall 
give her fruit, and the ground shall give her p increase, 
and the heavens shall give their dew ; and I will 
cause the remnant of this people to possess all q these 
things. 

1 3 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were r a 
curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house 
of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be s a blessing: 
fear not, but let your hands be strong. 

1 4 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, As I thought 
to punish you, when l your fathers provoked me to t Ezek 20, 
wrath, saith the Lord of hosts, and I u repented J °j Chr x 
not ; 16 

15 So again have I thought in these days to do cha ? '■ 6 - 
well unto Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah : fear 
ye not. 

16 These are the things that ye shall * do, Speak * Ps 1 5 . 5 - 
ye every man the y truth to his neighbour ; execute the > E i ,l! - '- & 
judgment z of truth and peace in your gates : * Hel 

17 And let none of you "imagine evil in your hearts j a m. 
against his neighbour ; and love no false oath : for all a Jar 
these are things that 1 hate, saith the Lord. 

1 8 IT And the word of the Lord of hosts came unto 
me, saying, 

1 9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, The fast of tlx 
h fourth month, and the fast of the c fifth, and (he fast 
of the d seventh, and the fast of the B tenth, shall be to 
the house of Judah f joy and gladness, and cheerful 
feasts : therefore love the truth and peace. 

20 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 7/ shall yet came 
In pass, that there shall 6 come people and the inhabit- 
ants of many cities: 

21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, 
saying, b Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, bJ* 
and to seek the Lord of hosts ; I will go also.

22 Yea, ! many people and strong nations shall come 
to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray 
before the Lord. 

23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, In those days it 
shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of 
all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of 
the k skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will 
go with you ; for ' we have heard that God is with

CHAP. IX. 

1 God defendeth his church. 9 Zion is exhorted to rejoice 

for the coming of Christ. 

HE a burden of the word of the Lord in the land 

of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest 

thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes 

of Israel, shall be b toward the Lord. 

2 And Hamath also shall border thereby ; Tyrus, 
and Zidon, though it be c very wise. 

3 And Tyrus did build herself a d strong hold, and 
heaped up silver e as the dust, and fine gold as the mire 
of the streets. 

4 Behold, the Lord will f cast her out, and he will 
smite her power in the sea ; and she shall be devoured 
with fire. 

5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear ; Gaza also shall 
see it, and be g veiy sorrowful ; and Ekron, for her 
expectation, shall be ashamed ; and the king shall 
perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be in- 
habited. 

6 And h a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod ; and I will 
cut off the pride of the Philistines. 

7 And I will ' take away his blood out of his mouth, 
and his abominations from between his teeth : but he 
that remaineth, even he, shall be k for our God ; and 
he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a 
Jebusite. 

8 And I will ! encamp about my house because of 
the army, because of him that passeth by, and because 
of him that returneth ; and no m oppressor shall pass 
through them any more : for now have I seen with 
mine eyes. 

9 IT Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion ; shout, O 
daughter of Jerusalem : behold, " thy King cometh 

unto thee ; he is just, and having salvation ; lowly, 
and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of 
an ass. 

10 And I will cut off the p chariot from Ephraim, 
and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle-bow shall 
be cut off: and he shall speak q peace unto the heathen ; 
and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from 
the river even to the ends of the earth. 

1 1 As for thee also, by the r blood of thy covenant 

1 have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein 
is no water. 

12 IT Turn ye to the s strong hold, ye prisoners of 
hope: even to-day do I declare, that I will render 
double unto thee ; 

1 3 When I have bent Judah for me, filled l the bow 
with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against 
thy sons, O Greece, and u made thee as the sword of 
a mighty man. 

1 4 And the Lord shall be x seen over them, and 
his y arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord 
God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirl- 
winds of the south. 

1 5 The Lord of hosts shall defend them ; and they 
shall z devour, and subdue with sling-stones ; and they 
shall drink and make a noise as through wine ; and

3 Mine anger was kindled against the d shepherds, Si

The staves Beauty and Bands. 

3 There is a voice of the howling of the d shepherds ; 
for their e glory is spoiled : a voice of the roaring of 
young lions ; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled. 

4 Thus saith the Lord my God, f Feed the flock 
of the slaughter, 

5 Whose g possessors slay them, and hold them- 
selves b not guilty 5 and they that ' sell them say, 
k Blessed be the Lord ; for I am rich : and their own 
shepherds pity them not. 

6 For 1 will no more ! pity the inhabitants of the 
land, saith the Lord ; but, lo, I will deliver the men 
every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand 
of his m king ; and they shall smite the land, and out 
of their hand I will not deliver them. 

7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, 
O n poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves ; 
the one I called ° Beauty, and the other I called 
p Bands : and I fed the flock. 

8 '' Three shepherds also I cut off in one month ; 
and my soul loathed them, and their soul also ab- 
horred me. 

9 Then r said I, I will not feed you : that that 
dieth, s let it die ; and that that is to be cut off, let it 
be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of 
another. 

1 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and l cut it 
asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had 
made with all the people. 

11 And it was broken in that day: and so the 
u poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it 
teas the word of the Lord. 

12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give 
me my price ; and if not, forbear. So they weighed 
for my price * thirty pieces of silver. 

13 And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the 
7 potter : a z goodly price that I was prized at of them. 
And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them 
to the potter in the house of the Lord. 

1 4 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, 
that I might "break the brotherhood between Judah 
and Israel. 

15 And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee 
yet the instruments of a b foolish shepherd : 

1 6 For, lo, I will raise up c a shepherd in the land, 
which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall 
seek J the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor 
feed that that standeth still ; but he shall eat the flesh 
of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. 

1 7 Wo to the e idle shepherd that leaveth the flock ! 
the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right 

lohnio, 13. eye : his f arm shall be clean dried up, and his right

3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem d a bur-

5 And the h governors of Judah shall say in their 
heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my 
strength in the Lord of hosts their God. 

6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah 
like ' a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a 
torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall k devour all 
the people round about, on the right hand and on the 
left : and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her 
own place, even in Jerusalem. 

7 The Lord also shall ' save the tents of Judah 
first, that the m glory of the house of David, and the 
glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify 
themselves against Judah. 

8 In that day shall the Lord d defend the inhabit- 
ants of Jerusalem : and he that is ° feeble among 
them at that day shall be as David ; and the house 
of David shall be p as God, as the angel of the Lord 
before them. 

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will 
seek to destroy q all the nations that come against 
Jerusalem. 

1 And I will pour upon the house of David, and 
upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the r spirit of grace 
and of supplication ; and they shall a look upon me 
whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for 
him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in 
bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his 
first-born. 

11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in 
Jerusalem, as the mourning of ' Hadad-rimmon in 
the valley of u Megiddon. 

1 2 And the x land shall mourn, every family apart ; 
the family of the house of David apart, and then- 
wives y apart ; the family of the house of z Nathan 
apart, and their wives apart ; 

13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and

2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the 
Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the c names of the 
idols out of the land, and they shall no more be 
remembered ; and also I will cause the d prophets and 
the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. 

3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall 
yet prophesy, then his "father and his mother thai 
begat him shall say unto him, Thou shall not live ; 
for thou speakest f lies in the name of the Lord j 
and his father and his mother that begat him shall 
thrust him through when he prophesieth. 

4 And it shall come to pass in that day, thai the 
prophets shall be g ashamed every one of his vision. 
when ho hath prophesied : neither shall they wear "a

friends. 

7 IT ' Awake, O sword, against my m Shepherd, and 
against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of 
hosts : " smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be 
scattered ; and I will turn my hand upon the ° little 
ones. 

8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, 
saith the Lord, p two parts therein shall be cut off, 
and die ; but the q third shall be left therein. 

9 And I will bring the third part r through the fire, 
and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try 
them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and 
T will hear them ; I will say, It is my people ; and 
they shall say, The Lord is s my God. 

CHAP. XIV. 

1 The destruction of Jerusalem. 3 The coming of Christ, 
and the graces of his kingdom, <$»c. 

BEHOLD, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy 
spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 

2 For I will a gather all nations against Jerusalem 
to battle ; and the city shall be taken, and the houses 
rifled, and the b women ravished ; and c half of the 
city shall go forth into captivity, and the d residue of 
the people shall not be cut off from the city. 

3 Then shall the Lord e go forth, and fight against 
those nations, as when he fought in the day of 
battle. 

4 And his feet f shall stand in that day upon the 
E mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the 
east ; and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the 
midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, 
and there shall be h a very great valley : and half of 
the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half 
of it toward the south. 

5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the ' moun- 
tains ; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto 
Azal ; yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before 
the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah ; 
and the Lord my God shall come, and all the k saints 
with thee. 

6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the 
light shall not be ' clear, nor dark : 

7 But it shall be m one day n which shall be known 
to the Lord, not day, nor night : but it shall come to 
pass, that ° at evening-time it shall be light. 

8 And it shall be in that day, that p living waters 
shall go out from Jerusalem ; half of them toward 
the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder 
sea : in summer and in winter shall it be. 

9 And the Lord shall be i king over all the 



earth : in that day shall there be one Lord, and his 
name one. 

10 All the land shall be turned r as a plain from 
Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem : and it shall 
be lifted up, and 'inhabited in her place, from Benja- 
min's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the 
corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto 
the king's wine-presses. 

1 1 And men shall * dwell in it, and there shall be 
u no more utter destruction ; but Jerusalem shall be 
safely inhabited. 

12 And this shall be the x plague wherewith the 
Lord will smite all the people that have fought against 
Jerusalem ; Their y flesh shall consume away while 
they stand upon their feet, and their z eyes shall con- 
sume away in their holes, and their a tongue shall 
consume away in their mouth. 

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a 
great h tumult from the Lord shall be among them; 
and they shall c lay hold every one on the hand of his 
neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand 
of his neighbour. 

1 4 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem : and 
the d wealth of all the heathen round about shall be 
gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in 
great abundance. 

1 5 And so shall be the e plague of the horse, of the 
mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the 
beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague. 

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is 
left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem, 
shall even go up from year to year to f worship the King, 
the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of 
all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship 
the g King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall 
be h no rain. 

18 And if the 'family of Egypt go not up, and 
come not, that have no rain, there shall be the pla? ue 
wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come 
not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 

19 This shall be the || punishment of Egypt, and 
the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep 
the feast of tabernacles. 

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the 
horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD ; and 
the k pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls 
before the altar. 

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem, and in Judah, shall 
be Holiness unto the Lord of hosts ; and all they that 
sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe 
therein : and in that day there sball be no more the 
1 Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

and if I be a. master, where is my fear? saith the 
Lord of hosts unto you, ° O priests, that despise my 
name. And ye say, Wherein p have we despised thy 
name ? 

7 Ye offer i polluted bread upon mine altar ; and 
ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee ? In that ye 
say, r The table of the Lord is contemptible. 

8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, * is it not 
evil T and if ye offer the ' lame and sick, is it not evil ? 
offer it now unto thy governor : will he be pleased 
with thee, or accept thy person ? saith the Lord of 
hosts. 

9 And now, u I pray you, beseech God that he 
will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your 
means : will he * regard your person ? saith the Lord 
of hosts. 

10 Who is there even among you that would shut 
the doors for nought ? neither do ye kindle fire y on 
mine altar for nought. I have z no pleasure in you, 
saith the Lord of hosts, neither will I accept an 
offering at your hand. 

1 1 For from the rising of the sun, even unto the 
going down of the same, my name shall be great 
• among the Gentiles ; and b in every place incense 
shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering : 
for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith 
the Lord of hosts. 

1 2 But * ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The 
table of the Lord is d polluted ; and the fruit thereof, 
even his meat, is contemptible. 

1 3 Ye said also, Behold, what a e weariness is it ! 
and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts : and 
ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the 
sick ; thus ye brought an offering : should I accept this 
of your hand ? saith the Lord. 

14 But cursed be the f deceiver, which hath in his 
flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the 
Lord a corrupt thing : for I am a great 6 King, saith 
the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among 
the heathen.

Malachi tharply reproveth the priests and the people for 

their sins. 

AND now, O ye * priests, this commandment is 
for you. . 

2 If ye will b not hear, and if ye will not lay it to 
heart, to c give glory unto my name, saith the Lord 
of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and will 
''curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already, 
because ye do not lay it to heart. 

3 Behold, I will corrupt e your seed, and f spread 
dung upon your faces, evm the dung of your solemn 
feasts, and one shall take you away with it. 

4 And ye shall g know that I have sent this com- 
mandment unto you, that h my covenant might be with 
Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. 

5 My covenant was with him ' of life and peace ; 
and 1 gave them to him for the fear wherewith he 
feared me, and was k afraid before my name. 

6 The Maw of truth was in his mouth, and m iniquity 
was not found in his lips : he walked with me in peace 
and equity, and did D turn many away from iniquity. 

7 For the priest's ° lips should keep knowledge, 
and they should p seek the law at his mouth : for he is 
the messenger of the Lord of hosts. 

8 But ye are q departed out of the way ; ye have 
caused many to stumble r at the law ; ye have cor- 
rupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.

CHAP. II, \Yi. for their treachery and impiety 

9 Therefore have f also made you * contemptible 




and base before all the people, according as ye have 
not kept my ways, but have been l partial in the 
law. 

1 Have we not all u one father ? hath not one God 
created us? why do we deal x treacherously every man ™ j|£ '§\ 
against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our 
fathers ? 

1 1 y Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomi- 7 Ho »- •»• 
nation is committed in Israel and in Jeriisalem : for 
Judah hath profaned the holiness of the Lord which 

he loved, and hath z married the daughter of a strange * E*r* 9, i. 
god. 

12 The Lord will * cut off the man that doeth this, a l Sam. a, 
the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of 23- 
Jacob, and him that b offereth an offering unto the bJer. 8,8. 
Lord of hosts. 

13 And this have ye done c again, covering the altar « 2 Tira 3 - 
of the Lord with d tears, with weeping, and with crying d i Sam. i, 
out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any 6 - ™- 
more, or receiveth it with good-will at your hand. 

14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord 

hath been e witness between thee and the wife of thy « Gen. si. 
youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet p^, v . 2 , ?-. 
is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. Heb. is, s. 

15 And did not he f make one? Yet had he the fM.t.,9,4. 
residue of the Spirit. And wherefore one ? That he 

might seek a godly 6 seed. Therefore take heed to gEir»9, l 
your spirit, and let none h deal treacherously against 
the wife of his youth. 

1 6 For the Lord, the God of Israel saith, that he 
hateth ' putting away : for one covereth violence with • P eut - 24, 
his garment, saith the Lord of hosts ; therefore take j^j at ^ ^ 
heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. 

1 7 Ye have k wearied the Lord with your words : 
yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him ? When 
ye say, Every one that l doeth evil is good in the sight cha P- 1, ! !- 
of the Lord, and he delighteth in them ; or, Where is & 21, li." %

AND Josias held the a feast of the passover in Jerusalem 
unto his Lord, and offered the passover the fourteenth 
day of the first month ; 

2 Having set the priests according to their daily courses, 
being arrayed in long garments, in the temple of the Lord. 

3 And he spake unto the Levites, the holy ministers of 
Israel, that they should hallow themselves unto the Lord, to 
set the holy ark of the Lord in the house that king Solomon 
the son of David had built : 

4 And said, Ye shall no more bear the ark upon your 
shoulders : now therefore serve the Lord your God, and 
minister unto his people Israel, and prepare you after your 
families and kindreds, 

5 According as David the king of Israel prescribed, and 
according to the magnificence of Solomon his son : and 
standing in the temple according to the several dignity of 
the families of you the Levites, who minister in the pre- 
sence of your brethren the children of Israel, 

6 Offer the passover in order, and make ready the sacri- 
fices for your brethren, and keep the passover according to 
the commandment of the Lord, which was given unto Moses. 

7 And unto the people that was found there Josias gave 
thirty thousand lambs and kids, and three thousand calves : 
these things were given of the king's allowance, according 
as he promised to the people, to the priests, and to the 
Levites. 

8 And Helkias, Zacharias, and || Syelus, the governors 
of the temple, gave to the priests for the passover two 
thousand and six hundred sheep, and three hundred calves. 

9 And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathanael his brother, 
and Assabias, and Ochiel, and Joram, captains over thou- 
sands, gave to the Levites for the passover five thousand 
sheep, and || seven hundred calves. 

10 And when these things were done, the priests and 
Levites having the unleavened bread, stood in very comely 
order according to the kindreds, 

1 1 And according to the several dignities of the fathers 
before the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in 
the book of Moses : b and thus did they in the morning. 

12 And they roasted the passover with fire, as apper- 
tained} : as for the sacrifices, they sod them in brass pots, 
and pans, |j with a good savour, 

13 And set them before all the people : and afterward 
they prepared for themselves, and for the priests their 
brethren, the sons of Aaron. 

14 For the priests offered the fat until night : and the 
Levites prepared for themselves, and the priests their 
brethren, the sons of Aaron. 

15 The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their 
order, according to the appointment c of David, to wit, Asaph, 
Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who wis d of the king's retinue. 

16 Moreover, the porters were at every gate ; it was 
net lawful for any to go from his ordinary service : for 
their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 

17 Thus were the things that belonged to the sacrifices 
of the Lord accomplished in that day, that they might hold 
the passover, 

18 And offer sacrifices upon the altar of the Lord, ac- 
cording to the commandment of king Josias. 

19 So the children of Israel which were present held 
the passover at that time, and the feast of sweet bread 
seven days. 

A* 



20 And such a passover was not kept in Israel since the 
time of the prophet Samuel. 

21 Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a passover 
as Josias, 'and the priests, and the Levites. and the Jews, 
held with all Israel that were found dwelling at Jerusalem. 

22 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias waS this 
passover kept. 

23 And the works of Josias were upright before his Lord, 
with a heart full of godliness. 

24 As for the things that came to pass in his time, they 
were written in former times, concerning those that sinned, 
and |j did wickedly against the Lord above all people and 
kingdoms, and how they grieved him || exceedingly, so that 
the words of the Lord rose up against Israel. 

25 e Now after all these acts of Josias it came to pass, 
that Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to raise war at Car- 
chamis upon Euphrates : and Josias went out against him. 

26 But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have 
I to do with thee, O king of Judea ? 

27 I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee ; 
for my war is upon Euphrates : and now the Lord is with 
me, yea, the Lord is with me hasting me forward : depart 
from me, and be not against the Lord. 

28 Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, 
but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of 
the prophet Jeremy, spoken by the mouth of the Lord : 

29 But joined battle with him in the plain of Megiddo, 
and the princes came against king Josias. 

30 Then said the king unto his servants, Carry me away 
out of the battle ; for I am very weak. And immediately 
his servants took him away out of the battle. 

31 Then gat he up upon his second chariot ; and being 
brought back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in his 
father's sepulchre. 

32 And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias, yea, 
Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men 
with the women made lamentation for him unto this day : 
and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continu 
ally in all the nation of Israel. 

33 These things are written in the book of the stories of 
the kings of Judah, and every one of the acts that Josias did, 
and his glory, and his understanding in the law of the Lord, 
and the things that he had done before, and the things now 
recited, are reported in the book of the kings of Israel and 
Judea. 

34 f And the people took Joachaz the son of JosTas, and 
made him king instead of Josias his father, when he was 
twenty and three years old. 

35 And he reigned in Judea and in Jerusalem three 
months : and then the king of Egypt deposed him from 
reigning in Jerusalem. 

36 And he set a tax upon the land of a hundred talents 
of silver and one talent of gold. 

37 The king of Egypt also made king Joacim his brother 
king of Judea and Jerusalem. 

38 And he bound Joacim and the nobles : but Zaraces 
his brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt. 

39 Five and twenty years old was « Joacim when he was 
made king in the land of Judea and Jerusalem ; andjie did 
evil before the Lord. 

40 Wherefore against him Nabuchodon 
Babylon came up, and bound him wit 
and carried him into Babylon.

Lord, and carried them away, and set them is his own tem- 
ple at Babylon.) 

42 Bat those things that are recorded of him, and of his 
rancleanness and impiety, are written in the chronicles of 
the kings'. 

43 And Joacim his son reigned in his stead : he was 
made king being eighteen years old ; 

44 And reigned bat three months and ten days in Jeru- 
salem, and did evil before the Lord. 

45 So after a year Nabncbodonosor sent and caused him- 
to be brought into Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord, 

46 And made Zedechias king of Judea and Jerusalem, 
when he was one and twenty years old ; and he reigned 
eleven years : 

47 And he did evil also in the sight of the Lord, and 
cared not for the words that were spoken unto him by 
the prophet Jeremy from the month of the Lord. 

48 And after that king Nabiichodonosor had made him 
to swear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself and 
rebelled, and hardening his neck and his heart, he trans- 
gressed the laws of the Lord God of Israel. 

49 The governors a!so» of the people and of the priests 
did many things against the laws, and passed all the pollu- 
tions of all nations, and defiled the temple of the Lord, 
which was sanctified in Jerusalem. 

50 Nevertheless, the God of their fathers sent by his 
messenger to call them back, because he spared them and 
his tabernacle also. 

51 But they had his messengers in derision ; and look, 
when the Lord spake unto them, they made a sport of his 
prophets : 

52 So far forth, that he, being wroth with his people for 
their great ungodliness, commanded the kings of the Chal- 
dees to come op against them ; 

53 Who slew their young men with the sword, yea, even 
within the compass of their holy temple, and spared neither 
young man nor maid, old man nor child, among them ; for 
he delivered alt into their hands. 

54 And they took all the holy vessels of the Lord, both 
great and small, with the vessels of the ark of God, and the 
king's treasures, and carried them away into Babylon. 

55 As for the house of the Lord, they burnt it, and brake 
down the walls of Jerusalem, and set fire upon her towers : 

56 And as for her glorious things, they never ceased till 
they had consumed and brought them all to nought : and 
the people that were not slain with the sword, he carried 
unto Babylon : 

57 Who became servants to him and his children, till the 
Persians reigned, to fulfil the h word of the Lord spoken 
by the mouth of Jeremy : 

58 Until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths, the whole 
time of her desolation shall she || rest, until the full term of 
seventy years.

kingdom, and also by writing,

Lord of Israel, the most high Lord, hath made me king of

whose minds were stirred up thereto. 

10 King Cyrus also brought forth the holy vessels which 
Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem, and had 
set up in his temple of idols. 

1 1 Now when Cyrus king of the Persians had brought 
them forth, he delivered them to Mithridates his treasurer : 

12 And by him they were delivered to | Sanabassar* the 
governor of Judea. 

13 And this was the number of them ; A thousand golden jfrstpart of

18 Be it now known to the lord the king, that the Jews thefto the

of the temple. 

19' Now if this city and the walls thereof be made op j 

again, they will not only refuse to give tribute, but also re- 
bel against kings. 

20 And forasmuch as the things pertaining to the temple 
are now in hand, we think it meet not to neglect such a 
matter, 

21 But to speak onto our lord the king, to the intent 
that, if it be thy pleasure, it may be sought out in the 
books of thy fathers : 

22 And thou shalt find in the chronicles what is written 
concerning these things, and shalt understand that that city 
was rebellious, troubling both kings and cities : 

23 And that the Jews were rebellious, and raised always 
wars therein ; for the which cause even this city was made 
desolate. 

24 Wherefore now we do declare unto thee, (O lord the 
king) that if this city be built again, and the walls thereof 
set up anew, thou shalt from henceforth have no passage 
into Celosyria and Phenice. 

25 Then the king wrote back again to Rathumus the 
story-writer, to Beeltethmus, to Semellius the scribe, and 
to the rest that were in commission, and dwellers in Sama- 
ria, and Syria, and Phenice, after this manner ; 

26 I have read the epistle which ye have sent unto me ; 
therefore I commanded to make diligent search, and it hath 
been found, that that city was from the beginning practising 
against kings ; 

27 And the men therein were given to rebellion and 
war : and that mighty kings and tierce were in Jerusalem, 
who reigned and exacted tributes in Celosyria and Phenice. 

28 Now therefore 1 have commanded to hinder those

men from building the city, and heed to be taken that there j 
be no more done in it ; 

29 And that those wicked workers proceed no further to 
the annoyance of kings. 

30 Then king Artaxerxes his letters being read, Rathu- 
irnis, and Semellius the scribe, and the rest that were in 
commission with them, removing in haste towards Jerusa- 

BOr,«g-re<rf lem with a troop of horsemen, and | a multitude of people 
number of i a battle-array, began to hinder the builders ; and the 
building of the temple in Jerusalem ceased until the second 
year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians. 
CHAP. III. 
OW when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto 
all his subjects, and unto all his household, and unto 
all the princes of Media and Persia, 

2 And to all the governors, and captains, and lieutenants 
that were under him, from India unto Etliiopia, of a hun- 
dred twenty and seven provinces. 

3 And when they had eaten and drunken, and being 
satisfied were gone home, then Darius the king went into 
his bed-chamber, and slept, and soon after awaked. 

4 Then three young men that were of the guard, that 
kept the king's body, spake one to another ; . 

5 Let every one of us speak a sentence : he that shall 
overcome, and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the 
others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and 
great things in token of victory : 

6 As, to be clothed in purple, to drink in gold, and to 
sleep upon gold, and a chariot with bridles of gold, and a 
head-tire of fine linen, and a chain about his neck : 

7 And he shall sit next to Darius, because of his wis- 
dom, and shall be called Darius his cousin. 

8 And then every one wrote his sentence, sealed it, 
and laid it under king Darius his pillow, 

9 And said that, when the king is risen, some will give 
him the writings ; and of whose side the king and the three 
princes of Persia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, 
to him shall the victory be given, as was appointed ; 

10 The first wrote, Wine is the strongest. 

1 1 The second wrote, The king is the strongest. 

12 The third wrote, Women are strongest: But above 
all things truth beareth away the victory. 

13 Now when the king was risen up, they took their 
writings, and delivered them unto him, and so he read 
them: 

14 And sending forth he called all the princes of Persia 
and Media, and the governors, and the captains, and the 
lieutenants, and the chief officers ; 

15 And sat him down in the || royal seat of judgment 5 
and the writings were read before them. 

16 And he said, Call the young men, and they shall 
declare their own sentences. So they were called, and 
came in. 

17 And he said unto them, Declare unto us your mind 
concerning the writings. Then began the first, who had 
spoken of the strength of wine ; 

18 And he said thus, O ye men, how exceeding strong 
is wine ! it causeth all men to err that drink it : 

19 It maketh the mind of the king, and of the fatherless 
child, to be all one : of the bondman and of the free man, 
of the poor man, and of the rich : 

20 It turneth also every thought into jollity and mirth, 
so that a man remembereth neither sorrow nor debt : 

21 And it maketh every heart rich, so that a man re- 
membereth neither king nor governor ; and it maketh to 
speak all things by talents : 

22 And when they are in their cups, they forget their 
love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw 
out swords : 

23 But when they are from the wine, they remember 
not what thej have done. 

24 O ye men, is not wine the strongest, that enforceth 
to do thus ? And when he had so spoken, he held his peace. 



CHAP. IV. 

FT! HEN the second, that had spoken of the strength of 

-■- the king, began to say, 

2 O ye men, do not men excel in strength, that | bear ;[| Or, Iwxt 
rule over sea and land, and all things in them I ihe *"•*■ 

3 But yet the king is more mighty : for he is lord of all 
these things, and hath dominion over them ; and whatso- 
ever he commandeth them they do. 

4 If he bid them make war the one against the other, 
they do it : if he send them out against the enemies, they 
go, and break down mountains, walls, and towers. 

5 They slay and are slain, and transgress not the king's 
commandment : if they get the victory, they bring all to 
the king, as well the spoil, as all things else. 

<5 Likewise for those that are no soldiers, and have not 
to do with wars, but use husbandry, when they have reap- 
ed again thai which they had sown, they bring it to the 
king, and compel one another to pay tribute unto the king. 

7 And yet he is but one man : if he command to kill, 
they kill ; if he command to spare, they spare ; 

6 If he command to smite, they smite ; if he command 
to make desolate, they make desolate ; if he command to 
build, they build 5 

9 If he command to cut down, they cut down ; if he 
command to plant, they plant. 

10 So all his people and his armies obey him : further- 
more he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and taketh his 
rest: 

1 1 And these keep watch round about him, neither || may 8 Or, vem. 
any one depart, and do his own business, neither disobey 
they him in any thing. 

12 O ye men, how should not the king be mightiest, 
when in such sort he is obeyed ? And he held his tongue. 

13 IT Then the third, who had spoken of women, and 
of the truth (this was Zorobabel) began to speak. 

14 O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the multitude 
of men, neither is it wine that t excelleth : who is it then t Heb. i* 
that ruleth them, or hath the lordship over them 1 are they vf ™*- 
not women ? 

15 Women have born the king and all the people that 
bear rule by sea and land. 

16 Even of them came they : and they nourished them 
up that planted the vineyards from whence the wine cometh. 

17 These also make garments for men ; these bring glo- 
ry unto men ; and without women cannot men be. 

18 Yea, and if men have gathered together gold and sil- 
ver, or any other goodly thing, do they not love a woman 
which is comely in favour and beauty ? 

19 And letting all those things go^ do they not gape, and 
even with open mouth fix their eyes fast on her ; and have 
not all men more desire unto her than unto silver or gold, 
or any goodly thing whatsoever ? 

20 A man leaveth his own father that brought him up, 
and his own country, and cleaveth unto his wife. 

21 He sticketh not to spend his life with his wife, and 
remembereth neither father, nor mother, nor country. 

22 By this also ye must know that women have dominion 
over you : do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all 
to the woman ? 

23 Yea, a man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to 
rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers ; 

24 And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness ; 
and when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth 
it to his love. 

25 Wherefore a man loveth his wife better than father 
or mother. 

26 Yea, many there be that have fl run out of their wits || Or, grow 
for women, and become servants for their sakes. <fc?We. 

27 Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for 
women. 

28 And now do ye not believe me ? is^ot the king great 
in his power ? <lo not nil regions fear tojd&liim ?

the daughter of the admirable j| Bartacus, sitting at the 
right hand of the king, 

30 And taking the crown from the king's head, and set- 
ting it upon her own head ; she also struck the king with 
her left hand. 

31 And yet [j fo* all this the king gaped and gazed upon 
her with open mouth : if she laughed upon him, he laughed 
also : but if she took any displeasure at him, the king was 
fain to flatter, that she might [j be reconciled to him again. 

32 O ye men, how can it be but women should be strong, 
seeing they do thus ? 

33 Then the king and the princes looked one upon an- 
other : so he began to speak of the truth. 

34 O ye men, are not women strong ? great is the earth, 
high is the heaven, swift is the sun in his course, for he 
compasseth the heavens round about, and fetcheth his 
course again to his own place in one day. 

35 Is he not great that maketh these things ? therefore 
great is the truth, and stronger than all things. 

36 All the earth || calleth upon the truth, and the heaven 
blesseth it : all works shake and tremble at it, and with it 
is no unrighteous thing. 

37 Wine is wicked, the king is wicked, women are 
wicked, all the children of men are wicked, and such are 
all their wicked works ; and there is no truth in them ; in 
their unrighteousness also they shall perish. 

38 As for the truth, it endureth, and is always strong ; 
it liveth and conquereth for evermore. 

39 With her there is no accepting of persons or rewards ; 
but she doeth the things that are just, and refraineth from 
all unjust and wicked things ; and all men do well like of 
her works. 

40 Neither in her judgment is any unrighteousness ; and 
she is the strength, kingdom, power, and majesty of all 
ages. Blessed be the God of truth. 

41 And with that he held his peace. And all the people 
then shouted, and said, Great is truth, and mighty above all 
things. 

42 Then said the king unto him, Ask what thou wilt 
more than is appointed in the writing, and we wiH give it 
thee, because thou art found wisest ; and thou shalt sit next 
me, and shalt be called my cousin. 

43 Then said he unto the king, Remember thy vow, 
which thou hast vowed to build Jerusalem, in the day when 
thou earnest to thy kingdom, 

44 And to send away all the vessels that were taken away 
out of Jerusalem, which Cyrus set apart, when he vowed 
to destroy Babylon, and to send them again thither. 

45 Thou also hast vowed to build up the temple, which 
the Edomites burned, when Judea was made desolate by 
the Chaldees. 

46 And now, O lord the king, this is that which I require, 
and which I desire of thee, and this is the princely liberal- 
ity proceeding from thyself: I desire therefore that thou 
make good the vow, the performance whereof with thine 
own mouth thou hast vowed to the King of heaven. 

47 Then Darius the king stood up and kissed him, and 
wrote letters for him unto all the treasurers, and lieu- 
tenants, and captains, and governors, that they should safely 
convey on their way both him, and all those that go up with 
him to build Jerusalem. 

48 He wrote letters also unto the lieutenants that were 
in Celosyria, and Phenice, and unto them in Libanus, that 
they should bring cedar wood from Libanus unto Jerusalem 
and that they should build the city with him. 

49 Moreover he wrote for all the Jews that went out of 
his realm up into Jewry, concerning their freedom, that 
no officer, no ruler, no lieutenant, nor || treasurer, should 
forcibly enter into their doors ; 

50 And that all the country which they hold should be 
free without t|^te ; and that the Edomites should give 
over the villadB lithe Jews which then they held : 

51 Ys?^thaHlR should be yearly given twenty talents

to the building of the temple, until the time that it were 
built ; 

52 And other ten talents yearly, to maintain the burnt 
offerings upon the altar every day, as they had a com- 
mandment to offer seventeen : 

53 And that all they that went from Babylon to build the 
city should have free liberty, as well they as their pos- 
terity, and all the priests that went away. 

54 He wrote also concerning the charges, and the priests* 
vestments wherein they minister ; 

55 And likewise for the charges of the Levites, to be 
given them, until the day that the house were finished, and 
Jerusalem builded up. 

56 And he commanded to give to all that kept the city 
[| pensions and wages. H.Or,^o» 

57 He sent away also all the vessels from Babylon, that .jj*? v 
Cyrus had set apart ; and all that Cyrus had given in com- 
mandment, the same charged he also to be done, and sent 
unto Jerusalem. 

58 Now when this young man was gone forth, he lifted 
up his face to heaven, towards Jerusalem, and praised the 
King of heaven, 

59 And said, From thee cometh victory, from thee com- 
eth wisdom, and thine is the glory, and 1 am thy servant. 

60 Blessed art thou, who hast given me wisdom : for to 
thee I give thanks, O Lord of our fathers. 

61 And so he took the letters, and went out, and came 
unto Babylon, and told it all his brethren. 

62 And they praised the God of their fathers, because 
he had given them freedom and liberty 

63 To go up, and to build Jerusalem, and the temple 
which is called by his name : and they feasted with instru- 
ments of music and gladness seven days.

2 And Darius sent with them a thousand horsemen, till 
they had brought them back to Jerusalem safely, and with 
musical [instruments] tabrets and flutes. 

3 And all their brethren played, and he made them go

to the yoke. 

44 And certain of the chief of their families, when they 
came to the temple of God that is in Jerusalem, vowed to 
set up the house again in his own place according to their 
ability, 

45 And to give into the holy treasury of the works a 
thousand pounds of gold, five thousand of silver, a hundred 
priestly vestments. 

46 And so dwelt the priests, and the Levites, and the 
people in Jerusalem, and in the country, the singers also 
and the porters ; and all Israel in their villages. 

47 But when the seventh month Was at hand, and when 
the children of Israel were every man in his own place, 
they came all together with one consent into the open 
place of the first || gate which is towards the east. 

48 Then stood up Jesus the son of Josedec, and his 
brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, 
and his brethren, and made ready the altar of the God of 
Israel, 

49 To offer burnt-sacrifices upon it, according as it is 
expressly commanded in the book of Moses the man of God. 

50 And there were gathered unto them out of the other 
nations of the land, and they erected the altar upon his own 
place, because all the nations of the land were at enmity 
with them, and oppressed them ; and they offered sacrifices 
according to the time, and burnt-offerings to the Lord both 
morning and evening. 

51 Also they held the feast of tabernacles, as it is com- 
manded in the law, and offered sacrifices daily, as was meet : 

52 And after that, the || continual oblations, and the sa- 
crifice of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of all 
holy feasts. 

53 And all they that had t made any vow to God began t Gr - 
to offer sacrifices to God from the first day of the seventh 
month, although the temple of the Lord was not yet built. 

54 And they gave unto the masons and carpenters, 
money, meat, and drink with cheerfulness. 

55 Unto them of Sidon also and Tyre they gave cars, 
that they should bring cedar trees from Libanus, which 
should be brought by floats to the haven of Joppe, accord- 
ing as it was commanded them by Cyrus king of the Persians. 

56 And in the second year and second month after his 
coming to the temple of God at Jerusalem began Zoroba- 
bel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and 
their brethren, and the priests, and the Levites, and all 
they that were come unto Jerusalem out of the captivity : 

57 And they laid the foundation of the house of God in 
the first day of the second mouth, in the second year after 
they were come to Jewry and Jerusalem. 

58 || And they appointed the Levites from twenty years 
old over the works of the Lord. Then Mt<>«] up Jesus, and

|j according as David the king of Israel had ordained. 

61 And they sung with loud voices songs to the praise of 
the Lord, because his mercy and glory is for ever in all 
Israel. 

62 And all the people sounded trumpets, and shouted 
with a loud voice, singing songs of thanksgiving unto the 
Lord for the rearing up of the house of the Lord. 

63 m Also of the priests and Levites, and of the chief of 
their families, the ancients who had seen the former house, 
came to the building of this with weeping and great crying. 

64 But many with trumpets and joy shouted with loud 
voice, 

65 Insomuch that the trumpets might not be || heard for 
the weeping of the people : yet the multitude sounded 
marvellously, so that it was heard afar off. 

66 Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah 
and Benjamin heard it, they came to know what that noise 
of trumpets should mean. 

67 And they perceived that they that were of the cap- 
tivity did build the temple unto the Lord God of Israel. 

68 So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief 
of the families, and said unto them, We will build together 
with you. 

69 For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do 
sacrifice unto him from the days of j| Azbazareth the king 
of the Assyrians, who brought us hither. 

70 Then Zorobabel and Jesus, and the chief of the 
families of Israel said unto them, It is not for us and you to 
build together a house unto the Lord our God. 

71 We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel, 
according as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath com- 
manded us. 

72 But the heathen of the land lying heavy upon the 
inhabitants of Judea, and holding them strait, hindered 
their building ; 

73 And by their secret plots, and popular persuasions 
imtil the se- an<1 commotions, they hindered the finishing of the building

CHAP. VI. 
"T^TOW in the second year of the reign of Darius, Aggeus, 
-^ and Zacharias the son of |j Addo, the prophets, pro- 
phesied unto the Jews, in Jewry and Jerusalem, in the 
name of the Lord God of Israel || which was upon them. 

2 Then stood up Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and 
Jesus the son of Josedec, and began to build the house of 
the Lord at Jerusalem, the prophets of the Lord being 
with them, and helping them. 

3 a At the same time came unto them |] Sisinnes, the go- 
vernor of Syria and Phenice, with j| Sathrabuzanes, and 
his companions, and said unto them, 

4 By whose appointment do ye build this house and this 
roof, and perform all the other things ? and who are the 
workmen that perform these things ? 

5 Nevertheless the elders of the Jews obtained favour, 
because the Lord had visited the captivity.

time as signification was given unto Darius concerning them, 
and an answer received. • .

Apocrypha. 

8 Let all things be known unto our lord the king, that 
being come into the country of Judea, and entered into the 
city of Jerusalem, we found in the city of Jerusalem the 
ancients of the Jews that were of the captivity, 

9 Building a house unto the Lord, great and new, of 
hewn and costly stones, and the timber already laid upon 
the walls. 

10 And those works are done with great speed, and the 
work goeth on prosperously in their hands, and with all 
glory and diligence is it made. 

11 Then asked we these elders, saying, By whose com- 
mandment build ye this house, and lay the foundations of 
these works ? 

1 2 Therefore to the intent that we might give knowledge 
unto thee by writing, we demanded of them who were the 
chief doers, and we required of them the names in writing 
of their principal men. 

13 So they gave us this answer, We are the servants of 
the Lord which made heaven and earth. 

14 And as for this house, it was builded many years ago 
by a king of Israel, great and strong, and was finished. 

15 But when our fathers provoked God unto wrath, and 
sinned against the Lord of Israel which is in heaven, he 
gave them over into the power of Nabuchodonosor king of 
Babylon, of the Chaldees ; 

16 Who pulled down the house, and burned it, and car- 
ried away the people captives unto Babylon. 

17 But in the first year that king Cyrus reigned over the 
country of Babylon, Cyrus the king wrote to build up this 
house. 

18 And the holy vessels of gold and of silver that Na- 
buchodonosor had carried away out of the house at Jeru- 
salem, and had set them in his own temple, those Cyrus 
the king brought forth again out of the temple at Babylon, 
and they were delivered to |j Zorobabel and to Sanabas- 
sarus the ruler, 

19 With commandment that he should carry away the bassarlhe 
same vessels, and put them in the temple at Jerusalem ; and ™ fc r, so as 
that the temple of the Lord should be built in his place. seemeth <o 

20 Then the same Sanabassarus, being come hither, laid be added to 
the foundations of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem : J?? e te ?\ 
and from that time to this being still a building, it is not yet 

fully ended. 

21 Now therefore, if it seem good unto the king, let 

search be made among the j| records of king Cyrus : l| Or, m8*. 

22 And if it be found that the building of the house of 
the Lord at Jerusalem hath been done with the consent of 
king Cyrus, and if our lord the king be so minded, let him 
signify unto us thereof. 

23 Then commanded king Darius to seek among the re- 
cords at Babylon : and so at Ecbatana the palace, which is 

in the country of Media, there was found a U roll wherein fl Or, place 
these things were recorded. 

24 In the first year of the reign of Cyrus, king Cyrus 
commanded that the house of the Lord at Jerusalem should 
be built again, where they do sacrifice with continual fire : 

25 Whose height shall be sixty cubits, and the breadth 
sixty cubits, with three rows of hewn stones, and one row 
of new wood of that country ; and the expenses thereoi 
to be given out of the house of king Cyrus : 

26 And that the holy vessels of the house of the Lord, 
both of gold and silver, that Nabuchodonosor took out of 
the house at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, should be 
restored to the house at Jerusalem, and be set in the place 
where they were before. 

27 And also he commanded that Sisinnes the governor 
of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, and their com- 
panions, and those which were appointed rulers in Syria 
and Phenice, should be careful not to meddle with the 
place, but suffer Zorobabel, the servant of the Lord, and 
governor of Judea, and the elders of the Jews, to build the 
house of the Lord in that place. 

28 I have commanded also to have it built up whole

again ; and that they look diligently to help those that be 
of the captivity of the Jews, till the house of the Lord be 
finished : 

29 And out of the tribute of Celosyria, and Phenice, a 
portion carefully to be given these men, for the sacrifices 
of the Lord, that is, to Zorobabel the governor, for bul- 
locks, and rams, and lambs ; 

30 And also corn, salt, wine, and oil, and that continually 
every year without further question, according as the 
priests that be in Jerusalem shall signify to be daily spent : 

31 That || offerings may be made to the most high God, 
for the king, and for his children, and that they may pray 
for their lives. 

32 And he commanded that whosoever should transgress, 
yea, or make light of any thing afore spoken or written, out 
of his own house should a tree be taken, and he thereon be 
hanged, and all his goods seized for the king. 

33 The Lord therefore, whose name is there called 
upon, utterly destroy every king and nation, that stretcheth 
out his hand to hinder or endamage that house of the Lord 
in Jerusalem. 

34 I Darius the king have ordained that according unto 
these things it be done with diligence. 

CHAP. Vll. 

THEN a Sisinnes the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, 
and Sathrabuzanes, with their companions, following 
the commandments of king Darius, 

2 Did very carefully oversee the holy works, assisting 
the ancients of the Jews and governors of the temple. 

3 And so the holy works prospered when Aggeus and 
Zacharias the prophets prophesied. 

4 And they finished these things by the commandment 
of the Lord God of Israel, and with || the consent of Cyrus, 
Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of Persia. 

5 And thus was the holy house finished in t the three 
and twentieth day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of 
Darius king of the Persians. 

6 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, 
and others that were cf the captivity, that were added unto 
them, did according to the things written in the book of 
Moses. 

7 And to the dedication of the temple of the Lord they 
offered a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hun- 
dred lambs ; 

8 And twelve goats for the sin of all Israel, according to 
Or, tribes, the number of the || chief of the tribes of Israel. 

9 The priests also and the Levites stood arrayed in their 
vestments, according to their t kindreds, in the service of 
the Lord God of Israel, according to the book of Moses : 
and the porters at every gate. 

10 And the children of Israel || that were of the cap- 
tivity held the passovCr the fourteenth day of the first 
month, after that the priests and the Levites were sanctified. 

1 1 They that were of the captivity were not all sancti- 
fied together : but the Levites Were all sanctified together. 

12 And so they offered the passover for all them of the 
captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for them- 
selves 

13 And the children of Israel that came out of the cap- 
tivity did eat, even all they that had separated themselves 
from the abominations of the people of the land, and sought 
the Lord. 

14 And they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven 
days, making merry before the Lord, 

15 For that he had turned the || counsel of the king of 
Assyria towards them, to strengthen their hands in the 
works of the Lord God of Israel.

10 Having determined to deal graciously, I have given 
order, that such of the nation of the Jews, and of the 
priests and Levites being within our realm, as are willing 
and desirous, should go with thee unto Jerusalem. 

1 1 As many therefore as have a mind thereunto, let them 
depart with thee, as it hath seemed good both to me and my 
seven friends the counsellors ; 

12 That they may look unto the affairs of Judea and Je- 
rusalem, agreeably to that which is in the law of the Lord ; 

13 And carry the gifts unto the Lord of Israel to Jeru-

and gold may be collected for bullocks, rams, and lambs, 
and things thereunto appertaining; 

15 To the end that they may offer sacrifices unto the 
Lord upon the altar of the Lord their God, which is in 
Jerusalem. 

16 And whatsoever thou and thy brethren will do || with

17 And the holy vessels of the Lord which are given 
thee for the use of the temple of thy God, which is in Je-

18 And whatsoever thing else thou shalt remember for 
the use of the temple of thy^Sod, thou shalt give it out of

19 And I king Artaxerxes have also commanded the 
keepers of the treasures in Syria and Phenice, that what-

22 I command you also, that ye require no tax, nor any 
other imposition of any of the priests or Levites, or holy 
singers, or porters, or ministers of the temple, or of any 
that have doings in this temples and that no man have au- 
thority to impose any thing upon them.

25 IF Then said Esdras the scribe, Blessed be the only 
Lord God of my fathers, who hath put these things into the 
heart of the king, to glorify his house that is in Jerusalem : 

26 And hath honoured me in the sight of the king, and 
his counsellors, and all his friends, and nobles. 

27 Therefore was I encouraged by the help of the Lord my 
God, and gathered together men of Israel to go up with me.

Lord our God should be with them that seek him, to sup- 
port them in all ways. 

53 And again we besought our Lord as touching these 
things, and found him favourable unto us. 

54 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, 
|| Esebrias, and Assanias, and ten men of their brethren 
with them : 

55 And I weighed them the gold, and the silver, and the 
holy vessels of the house of our Lord, which the king, and 
his council, and the princes, and all Israel, had given. 

56 And when I had weighed it, I delivered unto them 
six hundred and sixty talents of silver, and silver vessels 
of a hundred talents, and a hundred talents of gold, 

57 And twenty golden vessels, and t twelve vessels of t Heb 
brass, even of fine brass, glittering like gold. 

58 And I said unto them, Both ye are holy unto the 
Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the gold and the silver 
is a vow unto the Lord, the Lord of our fathers. 

59 Watch ye, and keep them till ye deliver them to the 
chief of the priests and Levites, and to the principal men of 
the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, into the chambers of 
the house of our God. 

60 So the priests and the Levites, who had received the 
silver, and the gold, and the vessels, brought them unto 
Jerusalem into the temple of the Lord. 

61 And from the river Theras we departed the twelfth 
day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem by the mighty 
hand of our Lord, which was with us ; and from the || be- ||Or, 
ginning of our journey the Lord delivered us from every 7J™ eers **

63 And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and Uriah the

65 Moreover, they that were come out of the captivity 
offered sacrifice unto the Lord God of Israel, even twelve 
bullocks for all Israel, fourscore and sixteen rams, 

66 j Threescore and twelve lambs, goats for a peace- 
offering, twelve ; all of them a sacrifice to the Lord. 

67 And they delivered the king's commandments unto the 
king's stewards, and to the governors of Celosyria and Phe- 
nice ; and they honoured the people and the temple of God. 

68 Now when these things were done, the rulers came Ezra 8, 3&, 
unto me, and said, 

69 The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests, and 
Levites, have not put away from them the strange people 
of the land, nor the pollutions of the Gentiles, to wit, of 
the Canaanites, Hittites, Pheresites, Jebusites, and the Mo- 
abites, Egyptians, and Edomites. 

70 c For both they and their sons have married with their c Ezra 9 i 
daughters, and the holy seed is mixed with the strange peo- 
ple of the land ; and from the beginning of this matter the 

rulers and the great men have been partakers of this iniquity. 

71 And as soon as I had heard these things, I rent my 
clothes, and the holy garment, and pulled off the hair from 
off my head and beard, and sat me down sad and very heavy. 

72 So all they that were then moved at the word of the 
Lord God of Israel, assembled unto me, whilst I mourned 
for the iniquity : but I sat still full of heaviness until the 
evening sacrifice. 

73 Then rising up from the fast with my clothes and the 
holy garment rent, and bowing my knees, and stretching 
forth my hands unto the Lord, 

74 I said, O Lord, I am confounded and ashamed before 
thy face ;

76 For ever since the time of our fathers, we have been 
and are in great sin, even unto this day. 

77 And for ow sins and our fathers' we with our brethren 
and our kings and our priests were given up unto the kings 
of the earth, to the sword, and to captivity, and for a pre}' 
witii shame, unto this day. 

78 And now in some measure hath mercy been shewed 
unto us from thee, O Lord, that there should be left us a 
root and a name in the place of tiiy sanctuary ; 

79 And to discover unto us a light, in the house of the 
f Heh. Vf&, Lord our God, and to give us | food in the time of our 
liiay, 8. servitude. 

80 Yea, when we were in bondage, we were not for- 
saken of our Lord ; but he made us gracious before the 
kings of Persia, so that they gave us food ; 

81 Yea, and honoured the temple of our Lord, and raised 
up the desolate Zion, that they have given us a sure abiding 
in Jewry and Jerusalem. 

82 And now, Lord, what shall we say. having these 
things ? for we have transgressed thy commandments which 
thou gavest by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, 

83 That the land which ye enter into to possess as a her- 
itage, is a land polluted with the pollutions of the strangers 
of the land, and they have filled it with their uncleanness. 

84 Therefore now shall ye not join your daughters unto 
their sons, neither shall ye take their daughters unto your 
sons. 

85 Moreover, ye shall never seek to have peace with 
them, that ye may be strong, and eat the good things of the 
land, and that ye may leave the inheritance of the land 
unto your children for evermore. 

86 And all that is befallen, is done unto us for our wick- 
ed works, and great sins : for thou, O Lord, didst make our 
sins light, 

87 And didst give unto us such a root ; but we have 
turned back again* to transgress thy law, and to mingle our- 
selves with the uncleanness of the nations of the land. 

88 || Mightest not thou be angry with us to destroy us, 
till thou hadst left us neither root, seed, nor name ? 

89 O Lord of Israel, thou art true : for we are left a 
root this day. 

90 Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities, for 
we cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before 
thee. 

91 And as Esdras in his prayer made his confession, 
weeping, and lying fiat upon the ground before the temple, 
there gathered unto him from Jerusalem a very great mul- 
titude of men, and women, and children : for there was 
great weeping among the multitude. 

' 92 Then Jechonias the son of Jeelus, one of the sons of 
Israel, called out, and said, O Esdras, we have sinned 
against the Lord God, we have married strange women of 
the nations of the land, and now is all Israel || aloft. 

93 Let us make an oath to the Lord, that we will put 
away all our wives, which we have taken of the heathen, 
with their children, 

94 Like as thou hast decreed, and as many as do obey 
the law of the Lord. 

95 Arise, and put in execution : for to thee doth this 
matter appertain, and we will be with thee : do valiantly. 

96 So Esdras arose, and took an oath of the chief of the 
priests and Levites t of all Israel to do alter these things ;

5 And in three days were all they of the tribe of Juda 
and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem the twentieth 
day of the ninth month. 

6 And all the multitude sat trembling in the broad court 
of the temple because of the present foul weather. 

7 So Esdras arose up, and said unto them, Ye have trans- 
gressed the law in marrying strange wives, thereby to in- 
crease the sins of Israel. 

8 And now by confession give glory unto the Lord God 
of our fathers, 

9 And do his will, and separate yourselves from the 
heathen of the land, and from the strange women. 

10 Then cried the whole multitude, and said with a loud 
voice, Like as thou hast spoken, so will we do. 

1 1 But forasmuch as the people are many, and it is foul 
weather, so that we cannot stand without, and this is not a 
work of a day or two, seeing our sin in these things is spread 
far: 

12 Therefore let the rulers of the multitude || stay, and 
let all them of our habitations that have strange wives come 
at the time appointed, 

13 And with them the rulers and judges of every place, till 
we turn away the wrath of the Lord from us for this matter. 

14 Then Jonathan the son of Azael, and Ezechias the 
son of Theocanus, accordingly took this matter upon them : 
and Mosollam, and Levis, and Sabbatheus helped them. 

15 And they that were of the captivity did according to 
all these things. 

16 And Esdras the priest chose unto him the principal 
men of their families, all by name : and in the first day cf 
the tenth month they sat together to examine the matter.

15 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, The h quails were as 
a token to you ; I gave you tents for your safeguard : 
nevertheless ye murmured there, 

16 And triumphed not in my name for the destruction of 
your enemies, but ever to this day do ye yet murmur. 

17 Where are the benefits that I have done for you ? 
When ye were hungry and thirsty in the wilderness, ' did 
ye not cry unto me, 

18 Saying, Why hast thou brought us into this wilderness 
to kill us ? it had been better for us to have served the 
Egyptians, than to die in this wilderness. 

19 Then had I pity upon your mournings, and gave you 
manna to eat ; k so ye did eat angels' bread. 

20 ' When ye were thirsty, did I not cleave the rock, 
and waters flowed out || to your fill ? for the heat I covered 
you with the leaves of the trees. 

21 I divided among you a fruitful land, I cast out the 
Canaanites, the Pherezites, and the Philistines, before you : 
m what shall I yet do more for you ? saith the Lord. 

22 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, When ye were in the 
wilderness, || in the river of the Amox'ites, being athirst, and 
blaspheming my name, 

23 I gave you not fire for your blasphemies, but cast a 
tree in the water, and made the river sweet. 

24 What shall I do unto thee, O Jacob ? thou n Juda 
wouldest not obey me : I will turn me to other nations, and 
unto those will I give my name, that they may keep my 
statutes. 

25 Seeing ye have forsaken me, I will forsake you also ; 
when ye desire me to be gracious unto you, I shall have no 
mercy upon you. 

26 ° Whensoever ye shall call upon me, I will not hear 
you : for ye have defiled your hands with blood, and your 
feet are swift to commit manslaughter. 

27 Ye have not as it were forsaken me, but your own 
selves, saith the Lord. 

28 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Have I not prayed 
you as a father his sons, as a mother her daughters, and a 
nurse her young babes,

you ? I will cast you out from my face. 

31 q When ye offer unto me, I will turn my face from 
you : for your solemn feast-days, your new moons, and 
your circumcisions have I forsaken. 

32 I sent unto you my servants the prophets, whom ye 
have taken and slain, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose 
blood I will require of your hands, saith the Lord. 

33 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Your house is desolate, 
I will cast you out as the wind doth stubble. 

34 And your children shall not be fruitful ; for they have 
despised my commandment, and done the thing that is evil 
before me. 

35 Your houses will I give to a people that shall come ; 
which not having heard of me yet shall believe me : to 
Whom I have shewed no signs, yet they shall do that I have 
commanded them. 

36 They have seen no prophets, yet they shall call their 
sins to remembrance, and acknowledge them. 

37 I take to witness the grace of the people to come, 
whose little ones rejoice in gladness : and though they have 
not seen me with bodily ej'es, yet in spirit they believe the 
thing tli at I say. 

38 And now, brother, behold what glory ; and see the 
people that come from the east : 

39 Unto whom I will give for leaders, Abraham, Isaac, and 
Jacob, Oseas, Amos, and Micheas, Joel, Abdias, and Jonas,

rilHUS saith the Lord, I brought this people out of bond- 
-*- age, and I gave them my commandments by my ser- 
vants the prophets ; whom they would not hear, but de- 
spised my counsels. 

2 The mother that bare them, saith unto them, Go your 
way, ye children ; for I am a widow and forsaken. 

3 I brought you up with gladness ; but with sorrow and 
heaviness have I lost you : for ye have sinned before the 
Lord your God, and done that thing that is evil before him. 

4 But what shall I now do unto you ? I am a widow and 
forsaken : go your way, O my children, and ask mercy of 
the Lord. 

5 As for me, O father, I call upon thee for a witness over 
the mother of these children, which would not keep my 
covenant, 

6 That thou bring them to confusion, and their mother 
to a spoil, that there may be no offspring of them. 

7 Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen, let 
their names be put out of the earth : for they have de- 
spised my || covenant.

did unto Sodom and Gomorrah ;

the Almighty Lord.

that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I 
would have given unto Israel. 

11 Their glory also will 1 take unto me, and give these

their feet. 

26 As for the servants whom I have given thee, there 
shall not one of them perish ; for I will require them from 
among thy number. 

27 Be not weary : for when the day of trouble and 
heaviness cometh, others shall weep and be sorrowful, but 
thou shalt be merry, and have abundance. 

28 The heathen shall envy thee, but they shall be able 
to do nothing against thee, saith the Lord.

mount Oreb, that I should go unto Israel ,• but when I came 
unto them, they set me at nought, and despised the com-

hear and understand, Look for your Shepherd, he shall 
give you everlasting rest ; for he is nigh at hand, that shall 
come in the end of the world.

43 And in the midst of them there was a young man of 

a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one 

of their heads he set crowns, and was more exalted ; which 

I marvelled at greatly. 

I! Or, Lord. 44 So I asked the angel, and said, || Sir, what are these ? 

45 He answered and said unto me, These be they that 
have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, 
and have confessed the name of God : now are they crown-

46 Then said I unto the angel, What young person is it

47 So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of 
God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then be- 
gan I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the 
name of the Lord.

CHAP. III. 

IN the thirtieth year after the ruin of the city, I was in 
Babylon, and lay troubled upon my bed, and my thoughts 
came up over my heart : 

2 For I saw the desolation of Sion, and the wealth of 
them that dwelt at Babylon. 

3 And my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak 
words full of fear to the Most High, and said, 

4 O Lord, who bearest rule, thou spakest at the begin- 
ning, when thou didst plant the earth (and that thyself 
alone) and commandedst the people, 

a Gen. 2, 7. 5 * And gavest a body unto Adam without soul, wlTicli 
was the workmanship of thy hands, and didst breathe into 
him the breath of life, and he was made living before thee. 

6 And thou leddest him into paradise, which thy right 
hand had planted, before ever the earth came forward. 

7 And unto him thou gavest commandment to love thy 
way : which he transgressed, and immediately thou appoint- 
edst death in him and in his generations, of whom came 
nations, tribes, people, and kindreds, out of number. 

bGeu.6,12. 8 b And every people walked after their own will, and 
did wonderful things before thee, and despised thy com- 
mandments. 

c Gen. 7,10. 9 " And again in process of time thou broughtest the flood 
upon those that dwelt in the world, and destroyedst them. 

10 And it came to pass in every of them, that as death 
was to Adam, so was the flood to these. 

dl Pet. 3,2. 11 Nevertheless, one of them thou leftest, namely, d Noah 
with his household, of whom came all righteous men. 

12 And it happened that when they that dwelt upon the 
earth began to multiply, and had gotten them many children, 
and were a great people, they began again to be more un- 
godly than the first. 

eGen. 12, l. 13 Now when they lived so wickedly before thee, e thou 
didst choose thee a man from among them, whose name 

f Gen. 17,5. was f Abraham. 

14 Him thou lovedst, and unto him only thou shevvedst 
thy will : 

15 And madest an everlasting covenant with him, pro- 
mising him that thou wouldest never forsake his seed. 

16 s And unto him thou gavest Isaac, and b unto Isaac 
also thou gavest Jacob and Esau. As for Jacob, thou ' didst 
choose him to thee, and put by Esau : and so Jacob became 
a great multitude. 

17 And it came to pass, that when thou leddest his seed 
out of Egypt, k thou broughtest them up to the mount Sinai. 

18 And bowing the heavens, thou didst set fast the earth, 
movedst the whole world, and madest the depths to trem- 
ble, and troubledst the men of that age. 

19 And thy glory went through four gates, of fire, and 
of earthquake, and of wind, and of cold , that thou mighte3t

Apocrypha 

21 For the first Adam bearing a wicked heart, trans- 
gressed, and was overcome ; and so be all they that are 
born of him. 

22 Thus infirmity was made permanent ; and the law 
(also) in the heart of the people with the malignity of the 
root ; so that the good departed away, and the evil abode still. 

23 So the times passed away, and the years were brought 
to an end : ' then didst thou raise thee up a servant, called 1 1 Sam- 1C, 
David : 13 - 

24 m Whom thou commandedst to build a city unto thy m 2 Sam. 5* 
name, and to offer incense and oblations unto thee therein. 2 - &7 <° '•'• 

25 When this was done many years, then they that in- 
habited the city forsook thee, 

26 And in all things did even as Adam and all his genera- 
tions had done : for they also had a wicked heart : 

27 And so thou gavest thy city over into the hands of 
thine enemies. 

28 Are their deeds then any better that inhabit Babylon, 
that they should therefore have the dominion over Sion ? 

29 For when I came thither, and had seen impieties 
without number, then my soul saw many evil-doers in this 
thirtieth year, so that my heart failed me. 

30 For I have seen how thou sufferest them sinning, and 
hast spared wicked doers : and hast destroyed thy people, 
and hast preserved thine enemies, and hast not signified it. 

31 || I do not remember how this way may be left : Are 
they then of Babylon better than they of Sion ? 

32 Or is there any other people that knoweth thee be ■ 
sides Israel ? or what generation hath so believed thy cove- 
nants as Jacob ? 

33 And yet their reward appeareth not, and their labour 
hath no fruit : for I have gone here and there through the 
heathen, and I see that they || flow in wealth, and think not 
upon thy commandments. 

34 Weigh thou therefore our wickedness now in the 
balance, and tiieirs also that dwell in the world ; and so 
shall thy name no where he found but in Israel. 

35 Or when was it that they which dwell upon the earth 
have not sinned in thy sight ? or what people hath so kept 
thy commandments ? 

36 Thou shalt find that Israel by name hath kept thy 
precepts ; but not the heathen. 

CHAP. IV. 
4 ND the angel that was sent unto me, whose name was 
■*y^- Uriel, gave me an answer, 

2 And said, Thy heart hath gone too far in this world, 
and thinkest thou to comprehend the way of the Most High ? 

3 Then said I, Yea, my lord. And he answered me, 
and said, I am sent to shew thee three ways, and to set 
forth three similitudes before thee : 

4 Whereof if thou canst declare me one, I will shew 
thee also the way that thou desirest to see, and I shall 
shew thee from whence the wicked heart cemeth. 

5 And I said, Tell on, my lord. Then said he unto me, 
Go thy way, weigh me the weight of the fire, or measure me 
the blast of the wind, or call me again the day that is past. 

6 Then answered I and said, What man is able to do 
that, that thou shouldest ask such things of me 1 

7 And he said unto me, If I should ask thee how great 
dwellings are in the midst of the sea, or how many springs 
are in the beginning of the deep, or how many springs are 
above the firmament, or which are the outgoings of paradise: 

8 Peradventure thou wouldest say unto rne, I never went 
down into the deep, nor as yet into hell, neither did I ever 
climb up into heaven. 

9 Nevertheless now have I asked thee but only of the 
fire and wind, and of the day wherethrough thou hast pass- 
ed, and of things from which thou canst not be separated, 
and yet canst thou give me no answer of them. 

10 He said moreover unto me, Thine own things, and 
such as are grown up with thee, canst thou not know ;

corrupted, to understand the || corruption that is evident in 
my sight ? 

12 Then said I unto him, It were better that we were 
not at all, than that we should live still in wickedness, and 
to suffer, and not to know wherefore. 

13 He answered me, and said, I went into a forest into a 
plain, and the a trees took counsel, 

14 And said, Come, let us go and make war against the 
sea, that it may depart away before us, and that we ma}' 
make us more woods. 

15 The floods of the sea also in like manner took counsel, 
and said, Come, let us go up and subdue the woods of the 
plain, that there also we may make us another country. 

16 The thought of the wood was in vain, for the fire 
came and consumed it. 

17 The thought of the floods of the sea came likewise 
to nought, for the sand stood up and stopped them. 

18 If thou wert judge now betwixt these two, whom 
wouldest thou begin to justify ? or whom wouldest thou 
condemn ? 

19 I answered and said, Verily it is a foolish thought 
that they both have devised, for || the ground is given unto 
the wood, and the sea also hath his place to bear his || floods. 

20 Then answered he me, and said, Thou hast given a 
right judgment, but why judgest thou not thyself also 1 

21 For like as || the ground is given unto the wood, and 
the sea to his floods : even so b they that dwell upon the 
earth may understand nothing but that which is upon the 
earth : and he that dwelleth above the heavens may only un- 
derstand the things that are above the height of the heavens. 

22 Then answered I and said, I beseech thee, O Lord, 
let me have understanding : 

23 For it was not my mind to be curious of the high 
things, but of such as pass by us daily, namely, wherefore 
Israel is given up as a reproach to the heathen, and for 
what cause the people whom thou hast loved is given over 
unto ungodly nations, and why the law of our forefathers 
is brought to nought, and the written covenants come || to 
none effect, 

24 And we pass away out of the world as grasshoppers, 
and our life is astonishment and fear, and we are not wor- 
thy to obtain mercy. 

25 What will he then do unto his name whereby we are 
called ? of these things have I asked. 

26 Then answered he me, and said, The more thou 
searchest, the more thou shalt marvel ; for the world 
hasteth fast to pass away, 

27 And cannot comprehend the things that are promised 
to the righteous in time to come : for this world is full of 
unrighteousness and infirmities. 

28 But as concerning the things whereof thou askest me, 
I will tell thee ; for the evil is sown, but the destruction 
thereof is not yet come. 

29 If therefore that which is sown be not turned upside 
down, and if the place where the evil is sown pass not 
away, then cannot it come that is sown with good. 

30 For the grain of evil seed hath been sown in the 
heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much ungodli- 
ness hath it brought up unto this time ? and how much 

wgir,Jtoor. shall it yet bring forth until the |j time of threshing come ? 

31 Ponder now by thyself, how great fruit of wickedness 
the grain of evil seed hath brought forth. 

32 And when the ears shall be cut down, which are 
without number, how great a floor shall they fill ? 

33 Then I answered and said, How, and wUcn shall these 
things come to pass ? wherefore are our years few and evil ? 

34 And he answered me, saying, Do not thou hasten 
above the Most Highest : for thy haste is in vain to be 
above him, for thou hast much exceeded. 

35 Did not the souls also of the righteous ask question 
of these things in their chambers, 3aying, How long shall I 
hope on this fashion ? when cometh the fruit of the floor of 
our reward ? 



I! Or,

36 And unto these things fl Uriel the archangel gave [| Or, 
them answer, and said, Even when the number of seeds is ^ erCTl1 ^- 
filled in you : for he hath weighed the world in the balance. 

37 By measure hath he measured the times, and by 
number hath he numbered the times ; and he doth not 
move nor stir them, until the said measure be fulfilled. 

38 Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rule, 
even we all are full of impiety. 

39 And for our sakes peradventure it is that the floors 
of the righteous are not filled, because of the sins of them 
that dwell upon the earth. 

40 So he answered me, and said, Go thj' way to a woman 
with child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine 
months, if her womb may keep the birth any longer with- 
in her. 

41 Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not. And he 
said unto me, In the grave the chambers of souls are like 
the womb of a woman : 

42 For like as a woman that travaileth maketh haste to 
escape the necessity of the travail : even so do these places 
haste to deliver those things that are committed unto them. 

43 From the beginning, look, what thou desirest to see, 
it shall be shewed thee. 

44 Then answered I and said, If I have found favour in 
thy sight, and if it be possible, and if I be meet therefore, 

45 Shew me then whether there be more to come than 
is past, or more past than is to come. 

46 What is past I know, but what is for to come I know not. 

47 And he said unto me, Stand up upon the right side, 
and I shall expound the similitude unto thee. 

48 So I stood, and saw, and behold, a hot burning oven 
passed by before me : and it happened, that when the flame 
was gone by I looked, and behold, the smoke remained still. 

49 After this there passed by before me a watery cloud, 
and sent down much rain with a storm; and when the 
stormy rain was past, the drops remained still. 

50 Then said he unto me, Consider with thyself; as the 
rain is more than the drops, and as the fire is greater than 
the smoke ; but the drops and the smoke remain behind : 
so the || quantity which is past did more exceed. 

51 Then 1 prayed, and said, May I live, thinkest thou,

10 And shall be sought of many, and yet not be found : 
then shall unrighteousness and incontinency be multiplied 
upon earth. 

1 1 One land also shall ask another, and say, Is right- 
eousness that maketh a man righteous gone through thee ? 
and it shall say, No. 

12 At the same time shall men hope, but nothing obtain : 
they shall labour, but their ways shall not || prosper. 

13 To shew thee such tokens I have leave ; and if thou 
wilt pray again, and weep as now, and fast seven days, thou 
shalt hear yet greater things. 

14 Then I awaked, and an extreme fearfulness went 
through all my body, and my mind was troubled, so that it 
fainted. 

15 So the angel that was come to talk with me held me, 
comforted me, and set me up upon my feet. 

16 And in the second night it came to pass, that Salathiel 
the captain of the people came unto me, saying, Where 
hast thou been ? and why is thy countenance so heavy 1 

17 Knowest thou not that Israel is committed unto thee 
in the land of their captivity ? 

18 Up then, and eat bread, and forsake us not, as the 
shepherd that leaveth his flock in the hands of cruel wolves. 

19 Then said I unto him, Go thy ways from me, and 
come not nigh me. And he heard what I said, and went 
from me. 

20 And so I fasted seven days, mourning and weeping, 
like as Uriel the angel commanded me 

21 And after seven days so it was, that the thoughts of 
my heart were very grievous unto me again, 

22 And my soul recovered the spirit of understanding 
and I began to talk with the Most High again, 

23 And said, O Lord that bearest rule, of every wood 
of the earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou hast chosen 
thee one only vine : 

24 And of all lands of the whole world thou hast 
chosen thee one pit : and of all the flowers thereof one 
lily: 

25 And of all the depths of the sea thou hast filled thee 
one river : and of all builded cities thou hast hallowed 
Sion unto thyself: 

26 And of all the fowls that are created thou hast named 
thee one dove : and of all the cattle that are made thou 
hast provided thee one sheep : 

27 And among all the multitude of peoples thou hast 
gotten thee one people : and unto this people, whom thou 
lovedst, thou gavest a law that is approved of all. 

28 And now, O Lord, why hast thou given this one 
U Oc.over. people over unto many ? and || upon the one root hast thou 

prepared others, and why hast thou scattered thine only 
one people among many ? 

29 And they which did gainsay thy promises, and be- 
lieved not thy covenants, have trodden them down. 

30 If thou didst so much hate thy people, yet shouldest 
thou punish them with thine own hands. 

31 Now when I had spoken these words, the angel that 
came to me the night afore was sent unto me, 

32 And said unto me, Hear me, and I will instruct thee ; 
hearken to the thing that I say, and I shall tell thee more. 

33 And I said, Speak on, my Lord. Then said he unto 
me, Thou art sore troubled in mind for Israel's sake : 
lovest thou that people better than he that made them ? 

34 And I said, No, Lord : but of very grief have I spo- 
ken : for my reins pain me every hour, while I labour to 
comprehend the way of the Most High, and to seek out 
part of his judgment. 

35 And he said unto me, Thou canst not. And I said, 
Wherefore, Lord ? whereunto was I born then ? or why 
ws>s not my mother's womb then my grave, that I might not 
have seen the travail of Jacob, and the wearisome toil of 
the 3tock of Israel ? 

36 And he said unto me, Number me the things that are 
not yet come, gather me together the drops that are scat-

tered abroad, make me the flowers green again that are 
withered, 

37 Open me the places that are closed, and bring me 
forth the winds that in them are shut up, shew me the 
image of a voice : and then I will declare to thee the thing 
that thou labourest to know. 

38 And I said, O Lord that bearest rule, who may know 
these things, but he that hath not his dwelling with men ? 

39 As for me, I am unwise : how may I then speak of 
these things whereof thou askest me 1 

40 Then said he unto me, Like as thou canst do none of 
these things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not 
find out my judgment, or in the end the love that I have 
promised unto my people. 

41 And I said, Behold, O Lord, yet art thou nigh unto 
them that be reserved till the end : and what shall they do 
that have been before me, or we that be now, or they that 
shall come after us ? 

42 And he said unto me, I will liken my judgment unto 
a ring : like as there is no slackness of the last, even so 
there is no swiftness of the first. 

43 So 1 answered and said, Couldest thou not make 
those that have been made, and be now, and that are for 
to come, at once ; that thou mightest shew thy judgment 
the sooner '/ 

44 Then answered he me, and said, The creature may 
not haste above the maker ; neither may the world hold 
them at once that shall be created therein. 

45 And I said, As thou h«st said unto thy servant, that 
thou which givest life to all, hast given life at once to the 
creature that thou hast created, and the creature bare it : 
even so it might now also bear them that now be present 
at once. 

46 And he said unto me, Ask the womb of a woman, and 
say unto her, If thou bringest forth children, why dost thou 
it not together, but one after another ? pray her therefore 
to bring forth ten children at once. 

47 And I said, She cannot : but must do it by distance 
of time. 

48 Then said he unto me, Even so have I given the 
womb of the earth to those that be sown in it in their times 

49 For like as a young child may not bring forth the 
things that belong to the aged, even so have I disposed the 
world which I created. ■ 

50 And I asked, and said, Seeing thou hast now given 
me the way, I will proceed to speak before thee : for bur 
mother, of whom thou hast told me that she is young, draw- 
eth now nigh unto age. 

51 He answered me, and said, Ask a woman that beareth 
children, and she shall tell thee. 

52 Say unto her, Wherefore are not they whom thou 
hast now brought forth, like those that were before, but 
less of stature ? 

53 And she shall answer thee, They that be born in the 
strength of youth are of one fashion, and they that are born 
in the time of age, when the womb faileth, are otherwise. 

54 Consider thou therefore also, how that ye are less of 
stature than those that were before you. 

55 And so are they that come after you less than ye, as 
the creatures which now begin to be old, and have passed 
over the strength of youth. 

56 Then said I, Lord, I beseech thee, if I have found 
favour in thy sight, shew thy servant by whom thou visitest 
thy creature.

4 Or ever the heights of the air were lifted up, before 
the measures of the firmament were named, or ever the 
chimneys in Sion were hot, 

5 And ere the present years were sought out, and or 
ever the inventions of them that now sin were turned, before 
they were sealed that have gathered faith for a treasure : 

6 Then did I consider these things, and they all were 
made through me alone, and through none other : by me 
also they shall be ended, and by none other. 

7 Then answered I and said, What shall be the parting 
asunder of the times : or when shall be the end of the first, 
and the beginning of it that followeth ? 

8 And he said unto me, From Abraham unto Isaac, when 
Jacob and Esau were born of bim, a Jacob's hand held 
j| first the heel of Esau. 

9 For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the 
beginning of it that followeth. 

10 The hand of man is betwixt the heel and the hand : 
other question, Esdras, ask thou not. 

11 TT I answered then and said, Lord that bearest rule, 
if 1 have found favour in thy sight, 

12 1 beseech thee, shew thy servant the end of thy to- 
kens, whereof thou shewedst me part the last night. 

13 So he answered and said unto me, Stand up upon thy 
feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice. 

14 And it shall be as it were a great || motion ; but the 
place where thou standest shall not be moved. 

15 And therefore when it speaketh be not afraid : for 
the word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth is 
understood. 

16 And why? because the speech of these things trem- 
bleth and is moved : for it knoweth that the end of these 
things must be changed. 

17 And it happened that when I had heard it I stood up 
upon my feet, and hearkened, and behold, there was a 
voice that spake, and the sound of it was like the sound of 
many waters. 

18 And it said, Behold, the days come, that I will begin 
to draw nigh, and to visit them that dwell upon the earth, 

19 And will begin to make inquisition of them, what they 
be that have hurt unjustly with their unrighteousness, and 
when the affliction of Sion shall be fulfilled ; 

20 And when the world, that shall begin to vanish away, 
g Or, seakd. shall be || finished, then will I shew these tokens : the 

books shall be opened before the firmament, and they shall 
see all together : 

21 And the children of a year old shall speak with their 
voices, the women with child shall bring forth untimely 
children of three or four months old, and they shall live, 
and be raised up. 

22 And suddenly shall the sown places appear unsown, 
the full storehouses shall suddenly be found empty : 

23 And the trumpet shall give a sound, which when 
every man heareth, they shall be suddenly afraid. 

24 At that time shall friends fight one against another 
like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those 
that dwell therein, the springs of the fountains shall stand 
still, and in three hours they shall not run. 

25 Whosoever remaineth from all these that I have told 
thee shall escape, and see my salvation, and the end of your 
world. 

26 And the men that are received shall see it, who have 
not tasted death from their birth : and the heart of the 
inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another 
meaning. 

27 For evil shall be put out, and deceit shall be. quenched. 

28 As for faith, it shall flourish, corruption shall be over- 
come, and the truth which hath been so long without fruit, 
shall be declared. 

29 And when he talked with me, behold, I looked by 
little and little upon him before whom I stood. 

30 And these words said he unto me ; I am come to 
shew thee the time of the night to come 



CHAP. \ I. -Apocrypha. 

31 If thou wilt pray yet more, and fast seven days again, 
I shall tell thee greater things || by day than I have heard, tl $* e Cha I* 

32 For thy voice is heard before the Most High : for the ia Ver 52 " 
Mighty hath seen thy righteous dealing, he hath seen also 
thy chastity, which thou hast had ever since thy youth. 

33 And therefore hath he sent me to shew thee all these 
things, and to say unto thee, Be of good comfort, and fear not. 

34 And hasten not with the times that are past, to think 
vain things, that thou mayest not hasten from the latter times. 

35 And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and 
fasted seven days in like manner, that I might fulfil the 
three weeks which he told me. 

36 And in the eighth night was my heart vexed within 
me again, and I began to speak before the Most High. 

37 For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul 
was in distress. 

38 And I said, O Lord, thou spakest from the beginning 
of the creation, even the first day, and saidst thus ; b Let b Gen. 1,1. 
heaven and earth be made ; and thy word was a perfect work. 

39 And then was the spirit, and darkness and silence 
were on every side ; the sound of man's voice was not yet 
formed. 

40 Then commandedst thou a fair light to come forth of 
thy treasures, that thy work might appear. 

41 Upon the second day thou madest the spirit of the 
firmament, and commandedst it to part asunder, and to make 
a division betwixt the waters, that the one part might go 
up, and the other remain beneath. 

42 Upon the third day thou didst command that the 
waters should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth : 
six parts hast thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent 
that of these some being planted of God and tilled might 
serve thee. 

43 For as soon as thy word went forth the work wag 
made. 

44 For immediately there was great and innumerable 
fruit, and many and divers pleasures for the taste, and 
flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful 
smell : and this was done the third day. 

45 c Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that the sun r.Gen. 1,14. 
should shine, and the moon give her light, and the stars 
should be in order : 

46 And gavest them a charge to do d service unto man, d Gen. 1 
that was to be made. 

47 Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh part, 
e where the waters were gathered, that it should biing forth 
living creatures, fowls and fishes : and so it came to pass. 

48 For the dumb water and without life brought forth 
living things at the commandment of God, that all people 
might praise thy wondrous works. 

49 Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the one 
thou calledst || Enoch, and the other Leviathan ; 

50 And didst separate the one from the other : for the 
seventh part, namely, where the water was gathered to- 
gether, might not hold them both. 

51 Unto Enoch thou gavest one part, which was dried 
up the third day, that he should dwell in the same part, 
wherein are a thousand hills : 

52 But unto Leviathan thou gavest the seventh part, 
namely, the moist ; and hast kept him to be devoured ol 
whom thou wilt, and when. 

53 Upon the sixth day thou gavest commandment unto 
the earth, that before thee it should bring forth beasts, 
cattle, and creeping things : 

54 And after these, Adam also, whom thou madest lord 
of all thy creatures : of him come we all, and the people 
also whom thou hast chosen. 

55 All this have I spoken before thee, O Lord, because 
thou madest the world for our sakes. 

56 As for the other people, which also come of Adam, 
thou hast said that they are nothing, but be like unto spittle : 
and hast likened the abundance of them unto a drop that 
falleth from a vessel.

Svoerypha II. ESDRAS 

57 And now, O Lord, behold, these heathen, which | 
have ever been reputed as nothing, have begun to be lords 
over us, and to devour us. 

58 But we thy people, whom thou hast called thy first- 
born, thy only-begotten, and thy fervent lover, are given 
into their hands. 

59 If the world now be made for our sakes, why do we 
not possess an inheritance with the world 1 how long shall 
this endure ? 

CHAP. VII. 

AND when I had made an end of speaking these words, 
there was sent unto me the angel which had been sent 
unto me the nights afore : 

2 And he said unto me, Up, Esdras, and hear the words 
that I am come to tell thee. 

3 And I said, Speak on, my God. Then said he unto me, 
The sea is set in a wide place, that it might be deep and great. 

4 But put the case the entrance were narrow, and like 
a river ; 

5 Who then could go into the sea to look upon it, and to 
rule it ? if he went not through the narrow, how could he 
come into the broad ? 

6 There is also another thing ; A city is builded, and set 
upon a broad field, and is full of all good things : 

7 The entrance thereof is narrow, and set in a || danger- 
ous place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the right 
hand, and on the left a deep water ; 

8 And one only path between them both, even between 
the fire and the water, so small that there could but one 
man go there at once. 

9 If this city now were given unto a man for an inherit- 
ance, if he never shall pass the danger set before it, how 
shall he receive this inheritance ? 

10 And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he unto me, 
Even so also is Israel's portion. 

1 1 Because for their sakes I made the world : and when 
Adam transgressed my statutes, then was decreed that now 
is done. 

12 Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, 
full of sorrow and travail : they are but few and evil, full 
of perils, and very painful. 

13 For the entrances of the j| elder world were wide and 
sure, and brought immortal fruit. 

14 If then they that live, labour not to enter these strait 
and vain things, they can never receive those that are laid 
up for them. 

15 Now therefore why disquietest thou thyself, seeing 
thou art but a corruptible man ? and why art thou moved, 
whereas thou art but mortal ? 

16 Why hast thou not considered in thy mind this thing 
that is to come, rather than that which is present ? 

17 Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rule, 
a Dent, i, 4. thou hast ordained in thy a law, that the righteous should in- 
herit these things, but that the ungodly should perish. 

18 Nevertheless, the righteous shall suffer strait things, 
and hope for wide : for they that have done wickedly have 
suffered the strait things, and yet shall not see the wide. 

19 And he said unto me, There is no judge above God, 
and none that hath understanding above the Highest. 

20 For there be many that perish in this life, because 
they despise the law of God that is set before them. 

21 For God hath given strait commandment to such as 
came, what they should do to live, even as they came, and 
what they should observe to avoid punishment. 

22 Nevertheless, they were not obedient unto him ; but 
spake against him, and imagined vain things ; 

23 And deceived themselves by their wicked deeds ; and 
said of the Most High, that he is not ; and knew not his ways : 

24 But his law have they despised, and denied his cove- 
nant ; in his statutes have they not been faithful, and have 
not performed his works. 

25 And therefore, Esdras. for the empty are empty 
things, and for the full are the full things.

26 Behold, the time shall come, that these tokens which 
I have told thee shall come to pass, and the bride shall ap- 
pear, and she coming forth shall be seen, that now is with- 
drawn from the earth. 

27 And whosoever is delivered from the foresaid evils 
shall see my wonders. 

28 For my son Jesus shall be revealed with those that 
be with him, and they that remain shall rejoice within four 
hundred years. 

29 After these years shall my son Christ die, and all men 
that have life. 

30 And the world shall be turned into the old silence 
seven days, like as in the || former judgments : so that no 
man shall remain. 

31 And after seven days the world, that yet awaketh not. 
shall be raised up, and that shall die that is corrupt. 

32 And the earth shall restore those that are asleep in 
her, and so shall the dust those that dwell in silence, and 
the secret places shall deliver those souls that were com- 
mitted unto them. 

33 And the Most High shall appear upon the seat of 
judgment, and misery shall pass away, and the long-suffer- 
ing shall have an end : 

34 But judgment only shall remain, truth shall stand, 
and faith shall wax strong : 

35 And the work shall follow, and the reward shall be 
shewed, and the good deeds shall be of force, and wicked 
deeds shall bear no rule. 

36 Then said I, b Abraham prayed first for the Sodomites, b Gen. is, 
and c Moses for the fathers that sinned in the wilderness : 

37 And Jesus after him for Israel in the time of [| Achan : i 

38 And Samuel and d David for the destruction : and II Oi, 
e Solomon for them that should come to the sanctuary : a 2 Sam 

39 And f Helias for those that received rain ; and for 24, n. 
the dead, that he might live : l 2 ,? 1 ™" 

40 And s Ezechias for the people in the time of Sen- { \ Sm „ s 
nacherib : and many for many. 17, 21. &. 

4 1 Even so now, seeing corruption is grown up, and 18 ' |?.- j 3 
wickedness increased, and the righteous have praj r ed for jc^ 15. " 
the ungodly : wherefore shall it not be so now also ? 

42 He answered me, and said, This present life is not 
the end where much glory doth abide ; therefore have they 
prayed for the weak. 

43 But the day 0? doom shall be the end of this time, 
and the beginning of the immortality for to come, wherein 
corruption is past, 

44 Intemperance is at an end, infidelity is cut off, right- 
eousness is grown, and truth is sprung up. 

45 Then shall no man be able to save him that is de- 
stroyed, nor to oppress him that hath gotten the victory. 

46 I answered then and said, This is my first and last 
saying, that it had been better not to have given the earth 
unto Adam : or else, when it was given him, to have re 
strained him from sinning. 

47 For what profit is it for men now in this present time 
to live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment? 

48 O thou Adam, what hast thou done ! for though it 
was h thou that sinned, thou art not fallen alone, but we hRom.3 
all that come of thee. 

49 For what profit is it unto us, if there be promised us 
an immortal time, whereas we have done the works that 
bring death ? 

50 And that there is promised us an everlasting hope, 
whereas ourselves being most wicked are made vain ? 

51 And that there are laid up for us dwellings of health 
and safety, whereas we have lived wickedly 1 

52 And that the glory of the Most High is kept to defend 
them which have led |] a wary life, whereas we have walked 
in the most wicked ways of all ? 

53 And that there should be shewed a paradise, whose 
fruit endureth for ever, wherein is || security and medicine 
since we shall not enter into it ?

55 And that the faces of them which have used absti- 
nence shall shine above the stars, whereas our faces shall 
be blacker than darkness ? 

56 For while we lived and committed iniquity, we con- 
sidered not that we should begin to suffer for it after death. 

57 Then answered he me, and said, This is the | con- 
dition of the battle, which man that is born upon the earth 
shall tight ; 

58 That, if he be overcome, he shall suffer as thou hast 
said ; but if he gel the victory, he shall receive the thing 
that I say. 

59 For this is the life whereof Moses spake unto the 
people while he lived, saying, ■ Choose thee life, that thou 
mayest live. 

60 Nevertheless, they believed not him, nor yet the pro- 
phets after him, no, nor me which have spoken unto them, 

61 That there should not be such heaviness in their de- 
struction, as shall be joy over them that are persuaded to 
salvation, 

62 I answered then, and said, I know, Lord, that the 
Most High is called merciful, in that he hath mercy upon 
them which are not yet come into the world, 

63 And upon those also that turn to his law ; 

64 And that k he is patient, and long suffereth those that 
have sinned, as his creatures ; 

65 And that he is bountiful, for he is ready to give where 
it needeth ; 

66 And that he is of great mercy, for he multiplieth more 
and more mercies to them that are present, and that are 
past, and also to them which are to come, 

67 For if he shall not multiply his mercies, the world 
would not continue with them that inherit therein. 

68 And he pardoneth ; for if he did not so of his good- 
ness, that they which have committed iniquities might be 
eased of them, the ten thousandth part of men should not 
remain living. 

69 And being judge, if he should not forgive them that 
are || cured with his word, and put out the multitude of 
(J contentions. 

70 There should be very few left peradventure in an 
innumerable multitude. 

CHAP. VIII. 
A ND he answered me, saying, The Most High hath made 
-"■ this world for many, but the world to come for few. 

2 I will tell thee a similitude, Esdras ; As when thou 
askest the earth, it shall say unto thee, that it giveth much 
mould whereof earthen vessels are made, but little dust 
that gold cometh of: even so is the course of this present 
world. 

3 *• There be many created, but few shall be saved. 

4 So answered I and said, Swallow then down, O my 
soul, understanding, and devour wisdom. 

5 For thou hast agreed to give ear, and art willing to 
prophesy : for thou hast no longer space than only to live. 

6 O Lord, if thou suffer not thy servant, that we may 
pray before thee, and || thou give us seed unto our heart, 
and culture to our understanding, that there may come 
fruit of it ; how shall each man live that is corrupt, who 
beareth the place of a man? 

7 For thou art alone, and we all one workmanship of thy 
hands, like as thou hast said. 

8 For || when the body is fashioned now in the mother's 
womb, and thou givest it members, thy creature is preserv- 
ed in fire and water, and nine months doth thy workmanship 
endure thy creature which is created in her. 

9 But that which keepethand is kept shall both be pre- 
served : and when the time cometh, the womb preserved 
delivereth up the things that grew in it. 

1 For thou hast commanded out of the parts of the body, 
that is to say, out of the breasts, milk to be given, which 
is the fruit of the breasts. 

11 That the thing which is fashioned may be nourished 
for a time, till thou disposest it to thy mercy.

CHAP. VIII Apocrypha 

12 Thou broughtest it up with thy righteousness, and 
nurturedst it in thy law, and reformedst it with thy judgment. 

13 And thou shalt mortify it as thy creature, and quicken 
it as thy work. 

1-1 If therefore thou shalt destroy him which with so 
great b labour was fashioned, it is an easy thing to be or- bJob 10, a 
dained by thy commandment, that the thing which was ? s 139, ,41 
made might be preserved. 

15 Now therefore, Lord, I will speak ; touching man in 
general, thou knowest best ; but touching thy people, for 
whose sake I am sorry ; 

16 And for thine inheritance, for whose cause I mourn ; 
and for Israel, for whom I am heavy ; and for Jacob, for 
whose sake I am troubled ; 

17 Therefore will I begin to pray before thee for myself 
and for them : for I see the falls of us that dwell in the land. 

18 But I have heard the swiftness of the judge which is 
to come. 

1 9 Therefore hear my voice, and understand my words, 
and I shall speak before thee. This is the beginning of 
the words of Esdras, before he was taken up : and I said, 

20 O Lord, thou that dwellest in everlastingness, which 
beholdest from above things in the heaven and in the air ; 

21 Whose throne is inestimable ; whose glory may not 
be comprehended ; before whom the hosts of angels stand 
with trembling, 

22 Whose service is conversant in w T ind and fire ; whose 
word is true, and sayings constant ; whose commandment is 
strong, and ordinance fearful ; 

23 Whose look drieth up the depths, and indignation 
maketh the mountains to melt away ; which the truth wit- 
ness eth : 

24 O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to 
the petition of thy creature. 

25 For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have 
understanding I will answer. 

26 O look not upon the sins of thy people ; but on them 
which serve thee in truth. 

27 Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, but 
the desire of those that keep thy testimonies in afflictions. 

28 Think not upon those that have walked feignedly 
before thee : but remember them, which according to thy 
will have known thy fear. 

29 Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have 
lived like beasts ; but to look upon them that have clearly 
taught thy law. 

30 Take thou no indignation at them which are deemed 
worse than beasts ; but love them that always put their 
trust in thy righteousness and glory. 

31 For we and our fathers || do languish of such diseases : |jOr, 
but because of us sinners thou shalt be called merciful. are sick. 

32 For if thou || hast a desire to have mercy upon us, || Or, 
thou shalt be called merciful, to us namely, that have no be ««"«><?• 
works of righteousness. 

33 For the just, which have many good works laid up 
with thee, shall out of their own deeds receive reward. 

34 For what is man, that thou shouldest take displeasure 
at him ? or what is a corruptible generation, that thou 
shouldest be so bitter towards it ? 

35 c For in truth there is no man among them that be c '^'"P 1 
born, but he hath dealt wickedly ; and among the faithful 2 ' Chnin . 6 
there is none which hath not done amiss. 36. 

36 For in this, O Lord, thy righteousness and thy good- 
ness shall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them which 
have not the II confidence of good works. II Or, 

37 Then answered he me, and said, Some things hast ««■"■«* 
thou spoken aright, and according unto thy words it shall be. 

38 For indeed I will not think on the disposition oi them 
which have sinned before death, before judgment, bclore 

destruction : • «_•*. 

39 But d I will rejoice over the disposition ot the right- a Gen. 4, v 
eous, and I will remember also their pilgrimage, and the 
salvation, and the reward that they shall have.

40 Line as I nave spoken now, so shall it come to pass. 

41 For as the husbandman soweth much seed upon the 
ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is 
sown good in his season cometh not up, neither doth all 
that is planted take root : even so is it of them that are 
sown in the world ; they shall not all be saved. 

42 I answered then and said, If 1 have foand grace, let 
me speak. 

43 Like as the husbandman's seed perisheth, if it eome 
not up, and receive not thy rain in due season : or if there 
come too ranch rain, and corrupt it : 

44 Even so perisheth man also, which is farmed with 
thy hands, and is called thine own image, because thou art 
like unto him, for whose sake thou hast made all things, 
and likened him unto the husbandman's seed. 

45 Be not wroth with us, but spare thy people, and have 
mercy opon thine own inheritance : for thou art merciful 
unto thy creature. 

46 Then answered he me, and said, Things present are 
for the present, and things to come for such as be to come. 

47 For thou ' comest far short that thou shouldest be 
able to love my creature more than I : but I have oft- 
times drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but never to the 
unrighteous. 

4C In this also thou art marvellous before the Most High : 

49 In that thou hast { humbled thyself, as it becometh 
thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy to be much glo- 
rified among the righteous. 

50 For many great miseries shall be done to them that 
g2 Tim. 3, in the s latter time shall dwell in the world, because they 
1_ have walked in great pride. 

51 But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the 
glory for such as be like thee. 

52 For unto you is paradise h opened, the tree of life is 
planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made 
ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect 
goodness and wisdom. 

53 The root of evil is sealed up from jcu r weakness and 
the moth is hid from you, and corruption is fled into |j hell 
to be forgotten ; 

54 Sorrows are passed, and in the end is shewed the 
i 2 Tim. I, treasure of ' immortality- 

55 And therefore ask thou no more b questions concern- 
ing the multitude of them that perish. 

56 For when they had taken liberty, they despised the 
Most High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook his ways. 

57 Moreover they have trodden down his righteous, 

58 And l said in their heart, that there is no God ; yea, 
and that knowing they must die. 

59 For as the things aforesaid shall receive you, so thirst 
and pain are prepared for them : for it was not his will 
"■that men should come to nought : 

60 But they which be created have defiled the name of 
him that made them, and were unthankful unto him which 
prepared life for them. 

61 And therefore is my judgment ■ now at hand. 

62 These things have I not shewed unto all men, but 
unto thee, and a few like thee. Then answered I and said, 

63 Behold, O Lord, now hast thou shewed me the mul- 
titude of the wonders, which thou wilt begin to do in the 

o Acts 1, 7. last times : c but at what time, thon hast not shewed me. 

CHAP. IX. 
E answered me then, and said, Measure thou the time 
diligently in itself; and when thou a seest part of the 
signs past, which I have told thee before, 

2 Then shalt thou understand, that it is the very same 
time, wherein the Highest will begin to visit the world 
which he made. 

3 Therefore when there shall he seen b earthquakes and 
uproars of the people in the world : 

4 Then shalt thou well understand, that the Most High 
spake of those things ■ from the days that were before thee, 
even from the beginning.

5 For like as all that is made in the world hath a begin- 
ning and an end, and the end is manifest : 

6 d Even so the times also of the Highest have plain be- d lsa.46,9, 
ginnings in wonders and powerful works, and endings in ef- 10l 
iects and signs. 

7 And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to 
escape by his works, and by faith , whereby ye have believed, 

8 Shall be * preserved from the said perils, and shall see el Pet. 1,5. 
my salvation in my land, and within my borders : for 1 have ^ 
sanctified them for me from the beginning. 

9 Then || shall they be in pitiful case, which now have 
abused my ways : and they that have cast them away de- 
spitefully shall dwell f in torments. 

10 For such as in their life have received benefits, and II. &19.3. 
have not known me ; 

1 1 And they that have loathed my law, while they had 
yet liberty, and when as yet place of repentance was open 
unto them, understood not, but despised it ; 

12 s The same must know it after death by pain. 

13 And therefore be thou not curious how the ungodly l 6 ^, 
shall be punished, and when : "■ but inquire bow the right- ^ & 
eous shall be saved, whose the world is, and for whom the hActs2,3i. 
world is created. * 16 ' 3 °- 

14 Then answered 1, and said, 

15 1 have said before, and now do speak, and will speak 
it also hereafter, 'that there be many more of them which i Mat. 7,13, 
perish, than of them which shall be saved : 

16 Like as a wave is greater than a drop. 

17 And he answered me, saying, Like as the field is, so 
is also the seed ; as the flowers be, such are the colours 
also ; such as the workman is, such also is the work ; and 
as the husbandman is himself, so is his husbandry also ; for 
it was the time of the world. 

18 k | And now when I prepared the world which was kPlroT. 8;

23 Nevertheless, if thou wilt cease yet seven days more h ■ "^

27 After seven days I sat upon the grass, and my heart 
was vexed within me, ■ like as before : » d»*p- 6, 

28 And I opened my mouth, and began to talk before 36 > 37 - 
the Most High, and said,

33 Yet they that received it ' perished, because they 
kept not the thing that was sown in them. 

34 And lo, it is a custom, when the ground hath received 
seed, or the sea a ship, or any vessel meat or drink, that, 
that being perished wherein it was sown or cast into, 

35 That thing also which was sown, or cast therein, or 
received, doth perish, and remaineth not with us ; but with 
us it hath not happened so. 

36 For we that have received the iaw " perish by sin, 
and our heart also which receiveth it. 

37 Notwithstanding, s the law perisheth not, but remain- 
eth in his force. 

38 And when I spake these things t in my heart, I look- 
ed back with mine eyes, and upon the right side I saw a 
■ woman, and behold, she mourned and wept with a loud 
voice, and was much grieved in heart, and her clothes 
were rent, and she had ashes upon her head. 

39 Then let I my thoughts go that I was in, and turned 
me unto her, 

40 And said unto her, x Wherefore weepest thou ? why 
art thou so grieved in thy mind ? 

41 And she said unto me. Sir, let me alone, that I may 
bewail myself, and add unto my sorrow, for 1 am sore vexed 
in my mind, and brought very low. 

42 And I said unto her, What aileth thee ? tell me. 

43 She said unto me, I thy servant have been barren, 
and had no child, though I had a husband thirty years. 

44 And those thirty years I did nothing else y day and 
night, and every hour, but make my prayer to the Highest. 

45 After thirty years God heard me, thy handmaid, 
looked upon my misery, considered my trouble, " and gave 
me a son : and I was very a glad of him, so was my hus- 
band also, and all my neighbours : and we gave great 
honour unts- the Almighty. 

46 And I nourished him with great travail. 

47 So when he grew up, and came to the time that he 
14, should have a wife, h I made a feast.

4 ND it so came to pass, that when my son was entered 
•5, *P- into his wedding "chamber, he fell down, and died. 



2 Then we all overthrew the lights, and all my [| neigh- 
bours rose up to comfort me : so 1 took my rest unto the 
second day at night 

3 And it came to pass, when they had all left off to com- 
fort me, to the end I mi<j;ht be quiet ; then rose I up by 
night, and fled, and came hither into this held, as thou scest. 

4 And I do now purpose not to return into the city, but 
here to stay, h and neither to eat nor drink, but continually 
to mourn and to Cist until I die. 

b Then left I the || meditations wherein I was, and spake 
to her in anger, saying, 

6 Thou foolish woman above all other, seest thou not 
our mourning, and what happenetli unto us ? 

7 How that Sion c our mother is full of all heaviness, and 
much humbled, mourning very sore ? 

6 And now, seeing we all mourn and are J sad, for we 
are all in heaviness, art thou grieved for one son ? 

9 For ask the earth, and she shall tell thee, that it is she 
which ought to mourn for the fill of so many that grow 
upon her. 

10 For 'out of her came all n the first, and out of her 
shall all others come, and behold, they walk almost all truo 
destruction, and a multitude of them is utterly || rooted out. 

11 Who then should make more mourning than she that 
hath lost so great a multitude ; and not thou, which art 
sorry but for one ? 

12 But if thou saye?>t unto me. My lamentation is not 
like the earth's, because I have lost the fruit of my womb, 
which ' I brought forth with pains, and bare with sorrows ; 

13 || But the earth not so: for the multitude present in 
i f , according to the course of the earth, is gone, as it came : j 

1-i Then say 1 unto thee. Like as thou hast brought 
forth with labour ; even so the earth also hath given her!

fruit, namely, man, ever since the beginning onto him that 
made her. 

1 5 Now therefore keep thy sorrow to thyself, and bear 
with a good courage that which hath befallen thee. 

16 For if thou shalt e acknowledge the determination of 
Cod to be just, thou shalt both receive thy son in time, and 
shalt be commended among women. 

17 Go thy waj' then into the city to thy husband. 

1 8 And she said unto me, That will 1 not do : I will not 
go into the city, h but here will I die. 

19 So I proceeded to speak further unto her, and said, 3 - 8 - 

20 Do not so, but be counselled by me : for how many 
are the adversities of Sion ? be comforted in regard of the 
sorrow of Jerusalem. 

21 For thou seest that ■ our sanctuary is laid waste, our i Ps. 74, 3. 
altar broken down, our temple destroyed ; ^ 7 ' *j» 9. 

22 Our psaltery is laid on the ground, bur song is put to L am ' {.&% 
silence, our rejoicing is at an end, the light of our candle- & 4 &. 5. 
stick is put out, the ark of our covenant is spoiled, our 
holy things are defiled, and the name that is called upon us 
is almost profaned : our children are put to shame, our 
priests are burnt, our Levites are gone into captivity, our 
virgins are defiled, and our wives ravished 5 our righteous 
men carried away, our little ones destroyed, our young 
men are brought in bondage, and our strong men are be- 
come weak ; 

23 And, which is the greatest of all, the seal of Sion hath 
now lost her * honour 5 for she is delivered into the hands 
of them that hate us. 

24 And therefore shake off thy great heaviness, and put 
away the multitude of sorrows, that the Mighty may be 
merciful unto thee again, and the Highest shall give thee 
rest and ease from thy labour. 

25 And it came to pass, while I was talking with her, 
behold, ' her face upon a sudden shined exceedingly, and 1 John 16, 
her countenance glistered, so that 1 was afraid of her, and 
mused what it might be. 

26 And behold, suddenly she made a great cry, very 

fearful : so that the m earth sliook at the noise of the woman, m Hag. 2,6. 

27 And 1 looked, and behold, the woman appeared unto Heb. 12,26. 
me no more, but there was a city builded, and a large 

place shewed itself from the foundations : then was I afraid 
and cried with a loud voice, and said, 

28 Where is n Uriel the angel, who came unto me at the n chap. 4,1. 
first 1 for he hath caused me to fall |j into many trances, and || Or, into

29 And as I was speaking these words, behold, he came trance. 
unto me, and looked upon me. 

30 And lo, I lay ° as one that had been dead, and mine 
understanding was taken from me : and he took p me by 
the right hand, and comforted me, and set me upon my feet, 
and said unto me, 

31 What aileth thee ? and why art thou so disquieted ? 
and why is thine understanding troubled, and the thoughts 
of thy heart? 

32 And I said, Because thou hast forsaken me, and yet 

I did according to thy ' words, and 1 went into the field, and 1 ch. 5, 20. 
lo, 1 have seen, and yet see, that I am not able to express. 

33 And he said unto me, Stand up manfully, ' and I will r Acts 9, 6.

34 Then said I, Speak on, my lord, in me ; only forsake 
me not, lest I die frustrate of rny hope.

Apocrypha II. ESDRAS. 

40 This therefore is the meaning of the vision which 
thou lately sawest : 

41 Thou sawest * a woman mourning, and thou T began- 
nest to comfort her : 

42 Bat now seest thou the likeness of the woman no 
more, bat there appeared unto thee a city builded. 

43 And whereas she told thee of the death of her son, 
this is the || solution : 

44 This woman, whom thou sawest, is Sion : -and 
whereas she said unto thee, even she whom thou seest z as 
a city builded, 

45 Whereas, / say r she said onto thee, that she hath 
been thirty years barren : those are the thirty years 
wherein there was no offering made in her. 

46 But after thirty years * Solomon builded the eity, 
b and offered offerings : and then bare the barren a son. 

47 And whereas she told thee that she nourished him 
with labour : that was the dwelling in Jerusalem. 

48 But whereas she said unto thee, That my son coming 
into his marriage-chamber happened to have a fall, and died : 
c this was the destruction that came to Jerusalem. 

49 And behold, thou sawest her likeness, and because 
she mourned for her son, thou begannest to comfort her : 
and of these things which have chanced, these are to be 
opened unto thee. 

50 For now the d Most High seeth that thou art grieved 
unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so 
hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the 
comeliness of her beauty : 

51 And therefore 1 bade thee remain in the field where 
no house was builded : 

52 For I knew that the Highest e would shew this unto 
thee. 

53 Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, 
where no foundation of any building was. 

54 For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to 
shew his city, there can no man's building be able to stand. 

55 And therefore £ fear not, let g not thy heart be 
affrighted, but go thy way in, and see the beauty and great- 
ness of the building, as much as thine eyes be able to 
see : 

56 And then shalt thou hear as much as thine ears may 
comprehend. 

57 For thou art blessed E above many other, and |j art 
called with the Highest ; and so are but few. 

58 But to-morrow at night thon shalt remain here ; 

59 And so shall the Highest shew thee * visions of the 
|[ high things, which the Most High will do unto them that 
dwell upon earth in the last days. So I slept that night 
and another, like as he commanded me. 

CHAP. XI. 
rilHEN saw I a dream, and behold, there came up from 
-"- the sea an a eagle, which had twelve feathered wings, 
and three heads. 

2 And I saw, and behold, she spread her wings over all 
the earth, and all the winds of the air blew on her, and 
were gathered together. 

3 And I beheld, and out of her b feathers there grew 
other contrary feathers ; and they became little feathers 
and small. 

4 But her c heads were at rest : the head in the midst 
was greater than the other, yet rested | it with the residue. 

5 Moreover I beheld, and lo, the eagle flew with her 
feathers, and reigned upon earth, and over them that dwelt 
therein. 

6 d And I saw that alf things under heaven were subject 
anto her, and no man spake against her, no, not one crea- 
ture upon earth. 

7 And 1 beheld, and lo, the eagle rose upon her lalons, 
and spake to her feathers, saying, 

8 Watch not all at once : sleep every one in his own 
place, and walch by course : 

9 But let the heads be preserved for the last.

10 And I beheld, and lo, the voice went not out of her 

heads, but from the midst of her body. 

1 1 And I numbered her e contrary feathers, and behold, e verse a. 
there were eight of them. 

12 And I looked, and behold, on the right side there 
arose one feather, f and reigned over all the earth ; fver. 5, 6. 

13 And so it was, that when it reigned, the end of it 
came, and s the place thereof appeared no more : so the g 1 Cor. 7, 
next following stood up, and reigned, and had a great time ; 31 * 

14 And it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it 
came also, like as the first, so that it appeared no more. 

15 Then came there a voice unto it, and said, 

16 h Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so h Ps. 75,4, 
long : this I say unto thee, before thou heginnest to appear *» 6 » '• 
no more, 

17 There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, 
neither unto the half thereof. 

18 Then arose the third, and reigned as the other be- 
fore, and appeared no more also. 

19 So went it with all the residue one after another, as 
that every one reigned, 'and then appeared no more. t Jam. 4, 13, 

20 Then I beheld, and lo, in process of time the feathers 14 * 
k that followed stood up upon the right side, that they might k ver. 3. II. 
rule also ; and some of them ruled, but within a while they 
appeared no more : 

21 For some of them were set up, but ruled not. 

22 After this I looked, and behold, the l twelve feathers I »e«e I. 
appeared no more, nor the two little feathers : 

23 And there was no more upon the eagle's body, but 
m three heads that rested, and six n little wings. 

24 Then saw I also that two little feathers divided them- 
selves from the six, and remained under the head that was 
upon the right side : for the four continued in their place. 

25 And I beheld, and lo, the feathers that were under 
the wing thought to set up themselves, and to have the rule. 

26 And I beheld, and lo, there was one set up, but 
shortly ° it appeared no more. 

27 And the second was sooner away than the first. 

28 And I beheld, and lo, the two that remained thought 
also in themselves to reign : 

29 And when they so thought, behold, there awaked one 
p of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in the p verse 23 
midst ; for that was greater than the two other heads. 

30 And then I saw that the two other heads were joined 
with it. 

3} And behold, the head was turned with them that were 
with it, and did eat up the * two feathers under the wing q verse 28. 
that would have reigned. 

32 But this head put the whole earth in fear, and bare 
rule in it over all those 'that dwelt upon the earth with rver. 5, S. 
much oppression ; and it had the governance of the world 
more than all the wings that had been. 

33 And after this I beheld, and lo, the head that was in 
the midst suddenly "appeared no more, like as the wings. 

34 But there remained the two heads, which also in like 
sort ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein. 

35 And I beheld, and lo, the head upon the right side 
devoured it that was upon the left side. 

36 Then I heard a voice, which said unto me, • Look 
before thee, and consider the thing that thou seest. 

37 And I beheld, and lo as it were a roaring ■ lion chased uGen.49,9 
out of the wood : and I saw that he sent out a man's voice ^ ev " * 
unto the eagle, and said, 

38 Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Highest 
shall say unto thee, 

39 Art not thou it that remainest of the four beasts, 
whom I made to reign in my world, that the end of their 
times might come through them ? 

40 And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts 
that were past, and had power over the world with great 
fearfulness, " and over the whole compass of the earth with x verse 32. 
much wicked oppression ; and so long time dwelt he upon 
the earth with deceit.

42 For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the 
peaceable, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwell- 
ings of them that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down 
the walls of such as did thee no harm. 

43 Therefore is thy wrongful dealing come up unto the 
Highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty. 

44 The Highest also hath z looked upon the proud times, 
and behold, they are ended, and his abominations are ful- 
filled. 

45 And therefore appear no more, a thou eagle, nor thy 
horrible wings, nor thy wicked feathers, nor thy malicious

CHAP. XII. 

AND it came to pass, while the a lk»n spake these words 
unto the eagle, I saw, 

2 And, behold, the head that remained, and the four 
wings appeared no more, and the two went unto it, and set 
themselves up to reign, and their kingdom was small and 
full of uproar. 

3 And I saw, and behold, b they appeared no more, and 
the whole body of the eagle was burnt, so that the earth 
was in great fear : then awaked I out of the trouble and 
trance of my mind, and from great fear, and said unto my 
spirit, 

4 Lo, this hast thou done unto me, in that thou c searchest 
out the ways of the Highest. 

5 Lo, yet am I weary in my mind, and very weak in my 
spirit ; and little strength is there in me, for the great fear 
wherewith I was affrighted this night. 

6 Therefore will I now beseech the Highest, that he 
will comfort me unto the end. 

7 And I said, Lord d that bearest rule, if I have found 
grace before thy sight, and if I am justified with thee be- 
fore many others, and if my prayer indeed be come up 
before thy face ; 

8 Comfort me then, and e shew me thy servant the in- 
terpretation and plain difference of this fearful vision, that 
thou mayest perfectly comfort my soul. 

9 For thou hast judged me worthy to shew me the last 
times. 

10 And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of the 
vision : 

11 The eagle whom thou sawest come up from the sea, 
f Dan. 7, 7. is the kingdom which was seen in the ' vision of thy brother 

Daniel. 

12 But it was not expounded unto him, therefore now I 
declare it unto thee. 

13 Behold, the days will come, that there shall rise up 
g chap. 11, a kingdom upon earth, and it shall be K feared above all the 

kingdoms that were before it. 

14 In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after another : 

15 Whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall 
have more time than any of the twelve. 

16 And this do the twelve wings signify, h which thou 
sawest. 

17 As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that 
ich. 11, 10. thou sawest ' not to go out from the heads, but from the 

midst of the body thereof, this is the interpretation : 

18 That after the time of that kingdom there shall arise 
great strivings, and it shall stand in peril of falling : never- 
theless, it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to 
his beginning. 

19 And whereas thou sawest the k eight small under- 
feathcrs sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation : 

20 That in him there shall arise eight kings, whose 
times shall be but small, and their years swift. 

21 And two of them shall perish, the middle time ap- 
proaching : four shall be kept until their end begin to ap- 
proach : but two shall be kept unto the end.

22 And whereas thou sawest ' three heads resting, this 1 ch. 11, 23 
is the interpretation : 

23 In his last days shall the Most High raise up three 
kingdoms, and renew many things therein, and they shall 
have the dominion of the earth, 

24 And of those that dwell therein, with much oppres- 
sion, above all those that were before them : therefore are 
they called the m heads of the eagle. m ch. n, i 

25 For these are they that shall accomplish his wicked- 
ness, and that shall finish his last. end. 

26 And whereas thou sawest that the great head appear- 
ed no more, it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his 
bed, and yet with pain. 

27 For the two that remain shall be slain with the sword. 

28 For the sword of the one shall devour the other : but 
at the last shall he fall through the sword himself. 

29 And whereas thou sawest » two feathers under the nch. 11,24. 
wings passing over the head that is on the right side ; 

30 It signifieth that these are they whom the Highest 
hath kept unto their end : this is the small kingdom and full 
of trouble, as thou sawest. 

31 And the lion, ° whom thou sawest rising up out of the o ch. 11,37 
wood, and roaring, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking 

her for her unrighteousness with all the words which thou 
hast heard ; 

32 This is the p anointed, which the Highest hath kept pPsal. 2, 2. 
for them and for their wickedness unto the end : he shall 

reprove them, and shall upbraid them with their cruelty. qPs. 50,21. 

33 For he shall set them before him alive in judgment, 
and shall rebuke them and correct them. 

34 For the rest of my people shall he r deliver with rPs.106,43, 
mercy, those that have been preserved upon my borders, ^ a S4 7 
and he shall make them joyful until the coming of the day 

of judgment, whereof I have spoken unto thee from the 
beginning. 

35 This is "the dream that thou sawest, and these are schap.11,1. 
the interpretations. 

36 Thou only hast been meet to know this secret of the 
Highest. 

37 Therefore l write all these things that thou hast seen t Isa. 30, 8. 
in a book, and hide them : Hab - 2 > 2 - 

38 And teach them to the wise of the people, whose 
hearts thou knowest may comprehend and keep these 
secrets. 

39 But wait thou here thyself yet ■ seven days more, u ch. 9, 23, 
that it may be shewed thee, whatsoever it pleaseth the 27 " 
Highest to declare unto thee. And with that he went his way. 

40 And it came to pass, when all the people saw that 
the seven days were past, and 1 not come again into the 
city, they gathered them all together, from the least unto 
the greatest, and came unto me, and said, 

41 What have we offended thee? and what evil have 
we done against thee, that thou forsakest us, and 6ittest 
here in this place ? 

42 For of all the || prophets thou ■ only art left us, as a || Or,fienpU. 
cluster of the vintage, and as a candle in a dark place, and jJi^'^g 
as a haven or ship preserved from the tempest. io! 14. 

43 Are not the evils which are come to us sufficient ? Horn. 11, 3, 

44 If thou shalt forsake us, how much better had it been 

for us, if we also had ' been burned in the midst of Sion ? y Ps. 74, 7. 

45 For we are not better than they that died there. 
And they wept with a loud voice. Then answered I them, 
and said, 

46 Be of good comfort, O Israel, and be not heavy, thou 
house of Jacob : 

47 For the Highest hath yon ' in remembrance, and the » Isa. 43, 15. 
Mighty bath not forgotten you in temptation. 

48 As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I de- 
parted from you : but am come into this place, to pray for 
the desolation of Sion, and that I might seek mercy for the 

•low estate of your sanctuary. aPs.136,23. 

49 And now go your way home every man, and after 
these days will 1 come unto you.

50 So the people went their way into the city, like as I 
commanded them : 

51 But I remained still in the field seven days, as b the 
angel commanded me ; and did eat only in those days of the 
flowers of the field, and had my meat of the herbs. 

CHAP. XIII. 
ND it came to pass after seven days, I a dreamed a 
dream by night : 

2 And lo, there arose j] a wind from the sea, that it 
moved all the waves thereof. 

3 And I beheld, and lo, that man waxed strong with the 
j] thousands of heaven : and when he turned his counte- 
nance to look, b all the things trembled that were seen un- 
der him. 

4 And whensoever the voice went out of his mouth, all 
they burned that heard his voice, like as the earth faileth 
when it feeleth the fire. 

5 And after this I beheld, and lo, there was gathered to 
gether a multitude of men, out of number, from c the four 
winds of the heaven, to subdue the man that came out of 
the sea. 

6 But I beheld, and lo, he had graved himself a great 
mountain, and flew up upon it. 

7 But I would have seen the region or place whereout 
the hill was graven, and I could not. 

8 And after this I beheld, and lo, all they which wer 
gathered together to i subdue him were sore afraid, and yet 
durst fight. 

9 And lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that 
came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor 
any instrument of war : 

10 But only I saw that he sent e out of his mouth as it 
had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, 
and out of his tongue he cast out sparks and tempests. 

1 1 And they were all mixed together ; the blast of fire, 
the flaming breath, and the great tempest ; and fell with 
violence upon the multitude which was prepared to fight, 
and burned them up every one, so that upon a sudden of 

f verse 5. an f innumerable multitude nothing was to be perceived, but 
only dust and smell of smoke : when I saw this I was afraid. 

12 Afterward I saw the same man come down s from the 
mountain, and call unto him another peaceable multitude. 

13 And there came much people unto him, h whereof 
some were glad, some were sorry, some of them were 

i| Junius, of bound, and other some brought || of them that were offered : 
''hJiv&vof- t ' ien was * S1 °k through great fear, and I awaked, and said, 

14 Thou hast shewed thy servant these wonders from 
the beginning, and hast counted me worthy that thou 
shouldest receive my prayer : 

15 Shew me now yet ' the interpretation of this dream. 

16 For as I conceived in mine understanding, wo unto 
them that shall be left in those days I and much more wo 
unto them that are not left behind ! 

17 For they that were not left were in k heaviness. 

18 Now understand I the things that are laid up in the 
latter days, which shall happen unto them, and to those 
that are left behind. 

19 Therefore are they come into great ' perils and 
many necessities, like as these dreams declare. 

20 Yet is it easier for him that is in danger to come into 
]| these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the 
world, and not to see the things that happen in the last 
days. And he answered unto me, and said, 

21 m The interpretation of the vision shall I shew thee 
and I will open unto thee the thing that thou hast re- 
quired. 

22 Whereas thou hast spoken of them that are left be- 
hind, this is the interpretation : 

23 He that shall n endure the peril in that time hath kept 
himself: they that be fallen into danger are such as have 
works, and faith towards the Almighty. 

24 Know this therefore, that they which be left behind jl

25 " This is the meaning of the vision : Whereas thou ® verse21. 
sawest a man coming up from the midst of the sea : 

26 The same is he whom God the Highest p hath kept pcb, 12,32. 
a great season, which by his own self shall deliver his 
creature : and he shall order them that are left behind. 

27 And whereas thou sawest, * that out of his mouth q verse 10. 
there came as a blast of wind, and fire, and storm ; 

28 And that he held r neither sword, nor any instrument of r verse 9. 
war, but that the rushing in of him destroyed the whole mul- 
titude that came to subdue him ; this is the interpretation : 

29 Behold, the days come, when the Most High will be- 
gin to deliver them that are upon the earth. 

30 And he shall come to the astonishment of them that 
dwell on the earth. 

31 And "one shall undertake to fight against another, s2Chr. 15, 
one city against another, one place against another, one ^ 
people against another, and one realm against another. 

32 And the time shall be when these things shall come 
to pass, and the signs shall happen which I shewed thee 
before, and then shall 'my Son be declared, whom thou t Rom. 1,4. 
sawest as a man ascending. 

33 And when all the people hear his voice, every man 
shall in their own land leave the battle they have one 
against another. ^. 

34 And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered to- 
gether, as thou sawest them, willing to come, and to over- 
come him b} r fighting. 

35 But he shall " stand upon the top of the mount Sion. uRev. 14,1 

36 And Sion shall come, and shall be shewed to all men, 
being prepared and builded, like as thou sawest the hill 
graven without hands. 

37 And this my Son shall x rebuke the wicked inven- xba.ll, 4. 
tions of those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen 

into the tempest ; 

38 And shall lay before them their y evil thoughts, and y Mat 15, 
the torments wherewith they shall begin to be tormented, 

which are like unto, a flame : and he shall destroy them 
without labour by the law which is like unto fire. 

39 And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another 

z peaceable multitude unto him ; z verse 12. 

40 Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away 
prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the 

king, whom a Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away cap- a 2 Kings 
tive, and he carried them over the b waters, and so came b j osh 24, 
they into another land. 2,3. 15. 

41 But they took this counsel among themselves, that 
they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go 
forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt* 

42 That they might there keep their statutes, which 
they never kept in their own land. 

43 And they entered into c Euphrates by the narrow c Gen. 15, 
passages of the river. 

44 For the Most High then shewed d signs for them, and d Exod. 14, 
held still the flood, till they were passed over. j^ 3 J5 

45 For through that country there was a great way to 16. 
go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is 
called |] Arsareth. || Or, Ara- 

46 Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and ™^ Gen - 
now when they shall begin to come, 

47 The Highest shall c stay the springs of the stream e Rev. 16, 
again, that they may go through : therefore sawest thou *~ 

the multitude with peace. 

48 But those that be left behind of thy people, are they 
that are found within my borders. 

49 Now when he destroyeth the multitude of the na- 
tions that are gathered together, f he shall defend his peo- fJer.30,11. 
pie that remain. 

50 And then shall he shew them great wonders. 

51 Then said I, O Lord that bearest rule, shew ms 
this : Wherefore have I seen the man coming up from the

sea : even so can no man upon earth see my Son, or those 
that he with him, but in the day-time. 

53 This is the interpretation of the dream which thou 
h oh. 12, 12. sawest, and whereby thou h only art here lightened. 

54 For thou hast forsaken thine own way, and applied 
thy diligence unto my law, and sought it. 

55 Thy life hast thou ordered in wisdom, and hast call- 
ed understanding thy mother. 

56 And therefore have I shewed thee the treasures of 
the Highest : after other three days I will speak other 
things unto thee, and declare unto thee mighty and won- 
drous things. 

57 Then went I forth into • the fiekl, giving praise and 
thanks greatly unto the Most High because of his wonders, 
which he did in time ; 

58 And because he governeth the same, and such things 
as fall in their seasons : and there I sat k three days. 

CHAP. XIV. 

AND it came to pass upon the third day, I sat under an 
oak, and behold, there came a voice a out of a bush 
over against me, and said, Esdras, Esdras. 

2 And I said, Here am I, Lord. And I stood up upon 
my feet. 

3 Then said he unto me, b In the bush I did manifestly 
reveal myself unto Moses, and talked with him, when my 
people served in Egypt : 

4 And I sent him, and led my people out of Egypt, and 
brought him up to the c mount of Sinai, where I held him 
by me a long season, 

5 And told him many d wondrous things, and shewed him 
the secrets of the times, and the end ; and commanded 
him, saying, 

6 These words shalt thou declare, and these shalt thou 
hide. 

7 And now I sny unto thee, 

8 That thou lay up in thy heart the signs that I have 
shewed, and the e dreams that thou hast seen, and the inter- 
pretations which thou hast heard : 

9 For thou shalt be f taken away from all, and from 
henceforth thou shalt remain with my Son, and with such 
as be like thee, until the times be ended. 

10 For the world hath lost his youth, s and the times 
begin to wax old. 

11 For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the 
ten parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part : 

12 And there remaineth that which is after the half of 
the tenth part : 

13 Now therefore " set thy house in order, and reprove 
l Mac. 9,55. ln y people, comfort such of them as be in trouble, and now 

renounce corruption. 

14 Let go from thee mortal thoughts, cast away the bur- 
dens of man, put off now the weak nature, 

15 And set aside the thoughts that are most heavy onto 
thee, and haste thee to flee from these times. 

16 For 'yet greater evils than those which thou hast 
seen happen shall he done hereafter. 

17 For look how much the world shall be weaker through 
age, so much the more shall evils increase upon them that 
dwell therein. 

18 For the truth is lied fir away, and leasing is hard at 
hand : for now hasteth the vision to come, k which thou 
hast seen. 

19 Then answered I before thee, and said, 

20 Behold, Lord, 1 will go, as thou hast commanded me, 
and reprove the people which are present : but they that 
shall be born afterward, * who shall admonish them ? thus 
the world is set in darkness, and they that dwell therein 
are Without light. 

21 For thy law is burnt, therefore no man knoweth the 
things that are done of thee, or the works that shall begin. 

,hu 16, 22 But if 1 have found grace before thee, " send the 
Holy Ghost into me, and 1 shall write all that hath been 
done in the world since the beginning, which were written

not ■ for forty days. 

24 But look thou prepare thee many jj box-trees, and

all the people together, and said, 

28 Hear these words, q O Israel. 

29 r Our fathers at the beginning were strangers in 
Egypt, from whence they were delivered : 

30 " 8 And received the law of life, which they kept not, sActs 7,53. 
which ye also have transgressed after them. 

31 Then was the land, even the land of Sion, 'parted tJosh.13,6. 
among you by lot : but your fathers, and ye yourselves, & 14 > J > 2 - 
have done unrighteousness, and have not kept the ways 

which the Highest commanded you. 

32 And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took 
from you in time the thing that he had given you. 

33 And now u are ye here, and your brethren among you. 

34 Therefore if so be that ye will subdue your own un- 
derstanding, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive, 
and after death ye shall " obtain mercy. 

35 For after death shall the judgment come, when we 
shall live again : and then shall the names of the righteous 
be manifest, and the works of the ungodly shall be declared. 

36 Let no man therefore come unto me now, nor seek 
after me these y forty days. 

37 So I took 2 the five men, as he commanded me, and 
we went into the field, and remained there. 

38 And the next day, behold, a voice called me, saying, 
Esdras, a open thy mouth, and drink that I give thee to aEzek. 3,S 
drink. 

39 Then opened I my mouth, and behold, he reached 
me a full cup, which was full as it were with water, but the 
colour of it was like fire. 

40 And I took it, and drank : and when I had drunk of 
it, my he;irt uttered understanding, and wisdom grew in my 
breast, for my spirit strengthened my memory : 

41 And my b mouth was opened, and shut no more. bPs. 51,15. 

42 The Highest gave understanding unto the five men, Isa - ^ ii - 
' and they wrote the wonderful visions of the night that c vers « 24 - 
were told, which they knew not : and they sat d forty days, d verse 23. 
and they wrote in the day, and at night they ate bread. 

43 As for me, I spake in the day, e and I held not my e Ps. 22, 2. 
tongue by night. • 

44 In forty days they wrote || two hundred and four hooks. 

45 And it carne to pass, when the forty days were ful- 
filled, that the Highest spake, saying, The first that thou hast 
written ' publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy may f verse 2ti 
read it . 

46 But keep the seventy last, r that thou mayest deliver 
them only to such as he h wise among the people : 

47 For in them is the spring of understanding, the foun- 
tain of wisdom, and || the stream of knowledge. 

48 And I did 90.

Apocrypha. 

5 Behold, saith the Lord, I will bring * plagues upon the 
world ; the sword, famine, death, and destruction. 

6 For wickedness hath exceedingly polluted the whole 
earth, and their hurtful works are fulfilled. 

7 Therefore saith the Lord, 

8 e 1 will hold my tongue no more as touching their wick- 
edness, which they profanely commit, neither will I suffer 
them in those things in which they wickedly exercise them- 
selves : behold, the ' innocent and righteous blood crieth 
unto me, and the souls of the just complain continually. 

9 And therefore, saith the Lord, 1 will surely avenge 
them, and receive unto me all the innocent blood from 
among them. 

10 Behold, my people is s led as a flock to the slaughter : 
I will not suffer them now to dwell in the land of Egypt : 

11 But 1 will bring them with a mighty hand and a 
stretched-out arm, and h smite Egypt with plagues, as be- 
fore, and will destroy all the land thereof. 

12 Egypt shall mourn, and the foundation of it shall be 
smitten with the plague and punishment that God shall 
bring upon it. 

13 They that till the ground shall mourn : for their seeds 
shall fail through the blasting and hail, and with a fearful 
constellation. 

14 ■ Wo to the world, and them that dwell therein ! 

15 For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, 
k and one people shall stand up to fight against another, and 
swords in their hands. 

16 For there shall be sedition among men, and invading 
one another ; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, 
and the course of their actions shall stand in their power. 

17 A man shall desire to go into a city, ' and shall not be 
able. 

18 For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, 
the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid. 

19 m A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but 
shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their 
goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation. 

20 Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings 
of the earth to reverence me, n which are from the rising 
of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus ; to 
turn themselves one against another, and repay the things 
that they have done to them. 

21 ° Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will 
I do also, and recompense in their bosom. Thus saith the 
Lord God, 

22 My right hand shall not spare the sinners, and my 
sword shall not cease over them that shed innocent blood 
upon the earth. 

23 The fire is gone forth from his wrath, p and hath con- 
sumed the foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like the 
straw that is kindled. 

24 q Wo to them that sin, and keep not my command- 
ments ! saith the Lord : 

25 I will not spare them : go your way, ye children, from 
the power, defile not my sanctuary. 

26 For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, 
r and therefore delivereth he them unto death and destruc- 
tion. 

27 For now are the plagues come upon the whole earth, 
and ye shall remain in them : for God shall not deliver you, 
because ye have sinned against him. 

28 Behold a horrible vision, and the appearance thereof 
from s the east : 

29 Where the nations of the dragons of Arabia shall 
come out with many chariots, and the multitude of them shall 
be carried as the wind upon earth, ' that all they which hear 
them may fear and tremble. 

30 Also the Carmanians raging in wrath shall go forth as 
the wild boars of the wood, and with great power shall they 
come, and join battle with them, and shall waste a portion 
of the land of the Assyrians. 

Si And then shall the " dragons have the upper hand, re-

that all fields may be full, and all rivers, with the abundance

42 And they shall break down the cities and walls,

stripes, and as one chastised with wounds, so that the 
mighty and lovers shall not be able to receive thee.

6 May any man drive away a hungry lion in the wood ?

q for all places shall be desolate of men : q Isa. 1, 7. 

27 So that one man shall desire to see another, and to & 3 > 25 > ^

28 For of a city there shall be ten left, and two of the 
field, which shall hide themselves in the thick groves, 
r and in the clefts of the rocks. 

29 As in an orchard of olives upon every tree there are 
left three or four olives ; 

30 Or as when a vineyard is gathered, there are left 
some clusters of them that diligently seek through the 
vineyard : 

31 Even so in those days there shall be three or four

the women shall mourn, having no husbands ; their daugh-

35 Hear now these things, and understand them, * ye t Ps. 135, 1

36 Behold the word of the Lord, receive it : believe 
not the gods of whom the Lord spake. 

37 Behold, the u plagues draw nigh, and are not slack, u verse 8. 

38 As when a woman with child in the ninth month 
bringeth forth her son, within two or three hours of her 
birth great pains compass her womb, which pains, when the 
child cometh forth, they slack not a moment : 

39 Even so shall not the plagues be slack to come upon

40 O my people, hear my word : make you ready to the 
battle, and in those evils be even y as pilgrims upon the earth. 

41 He that selleth, let him be as he that fleeth away : 
and he that buyeth, as one that will lose : 

42 He that occupieth merchandise, as he that hath no 
profit by it : and he that buildeth, as he that shall not dwell 
therein : 

43 He that soweth, as if he should not reap : so also he 
that planteth the vineyard, as he that shall not gather the 
grapes : 

44 z They that marry, as they that shall get no children : z l Cor. 7, 
and they that marry not, as the widowers. 

45 And therefore they that labour, labour in vain : 

46 "For strangers shall reap their fruits, and spoil their 
goods, overthrow their houses, b and take their children 
captives, for in captivity and famine shall they get children. 

47 And they that occupy their merchandise with robbery, 
the more they deck their cities, their houses, their posses- 
sions, and their own persons : 

48 The more will I be angry with them for their sin, 
saith the Lord. 

49 Like as a whore envieth a right honest and virtuous

60 So shall righteousness hate iniquity, when she deck- 
eth herself, and shall accuse her to her face, when he com- 
eth that shall defend him that diligently c searcheth out

61 And therefore be ye. not like thereunto, nor to the 
works thereof. 

52 For yet a little, and iniquity shall be taken away out 
of the earth, and righteousness shall reign among you. 

53 Let not the sinner say d that he hath not sinned : for d l John l,

THE book of the || words of Tobit, son of Tobiel, the 
son of Ananiel, the son of Aduel, the son of Gabael, 
of the seed of Asael, of the tribe * of Nephthali ; 

2 Who in the time of b Enemessar king of the Assyrians 
was led captive out of Thisbe, which is at the right hand of 
that city, which is called || properly Nephthali in Galilee 
above Aser. 

3 I Tobit have walked all the days of my life in the way 
of truth and justice, and I did many alms-deeds to my 
brethren, and my nation, who came with me to Nineve, 
into the land of the Assyrians. 

4 And when I was in mine own country, in the land of 
Israel, being but young, c all the tribe of Nephthali my fa- 
ther fell from the house of Jerusalem, d which was chosen 
out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the tribes should sa- 
crifice there, where the temple of the habitation of the 
Most High was consecrated and built for all ages. 

5 Now all the tribes which together revolted, and the 
house of my father Nephthali, sacrificed || unto the e heifer 
Baal. 

6 But I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feasts, as 
it was ordained unto all the people of Israel by an ever- 
lasting decree, f having the first-fruits and tenths of in- 
crease, with that which was first shorn ; and them gave I 
at the altar to the priests the children of Aaron. 

7 The first tenth part of all increase 1 gave to the sons 
of j| Aaron, who ministered at Jerusalem : another tenth 
part I sold away, and went, and spent it every year at Je- 
rusalem : 

8 And the third I gave unto them to whom it was meet, 
g as Debora my father's mother had commanded me, be- 
cause I was left an orphan by my father. 

9 Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, I 
married Anna of mine h own kindred, and of her 1 begat 
Tobias. 

10 And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, 
all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat 
of the ' bread of the Gentiles. 



1 1 But I kept t myself from eating ; 

12 Because I remembered God with all my heart. 

13 And the Most High gave me grace and favour before 
Enemessar, so that I was his | purveyor.. 

14 And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, 
the brother of Gabrias, || at Rages, a city of Media, ten 
talents of silver. 

15 Now when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib his son 
reigned in his ' stead ; t whose estate was troubled, that I 
could not go into Media. 

16 And in the time of Enemessar I gave many alms to 
my brethren, k and gave my bread to the hungry, 

17 And my clothes to the naked : and if I saw any of 
my nation dead, or cast || about the walls of Nineve, I 
buried him. 

18 And if the king Sennacherib had slain any, when he 
was come, and ' fled from Judea, I buried them privily ; for 
in his wrath he killed many ; but the bodies were not 
found, when they were sought for of the king. 

19 And when one of the Ninevites went and complained 
of me to the king, that I buried them, and hid myself; 
understanding that I was sought for to be put to death, m I 
withdrew myself for fear. 

20 Then all my goods were forcibly taken away, neither 
was there any thing left me, besides my wife Anna and my 
son Tobias. 

21 And there passed not five and fifty days before two 
of his sons "killed him, and they fled into the mountains of 
Ararath ; and || Sarchedonus his son reigned in his stead ; 
who appointed over his father's accounts, and over all his 
affairs, Achiacharus my brother Anael's son. 

22 And Achiacharus entreating for me, I returned to 
Nineve. Now Achiacharus was p cup-bearer, and keeper 
of the signet, and steward, and overseer of the accounts : 
and || Sarchedonus appointed him next unto him: and he 
was my brother's son.

I sat down to eat, 

2 And when I saw abundance of meat, I said to my son, 
Go and bring what c poor man soever thou shalt find out of 
our brethren, who is mindful of the Lord ; and lo, 1 tarry 
for thee. 

3 But he came again, and said, Father, one of our nation 
is strangled, and is cast out in the market-place. 

4 Then before 1 had tasted of any meat, I started up, 
and took him up into a room until the going down of the sun. 

5 Then I returned, and washed myself, and ate my meat 
in heaviness, 

6 Remembering that prophecy of d Amos, as he said, 
Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your 
mirth into lamentation. 

7 Therefore I wept : and after the going down of the 
sun I went e and made a grave, and buried him. 

8 But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is 
not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter : f who fled 
away ; and yet lo, he burieth the dead again. 

9 The same night also I returned from the burial, and 
gNum. 19, slept by the wall of my court -yard, e being polluted, and 

my face was uncovered : 

10 And I knew not that there were || sparrows in the 
wall, and mine eyes being open, the sparrows muted warm 
dung into mine eyes, and || a whiteness came in mine eyes ; 
and 1 went to the physicians, but they helped me not : 
moreover, Achiacharus did nourish me, until I went into 
Elymais. 

1 1 And my wife Anna || did take women's works to do. 

12 And when she had sent |j them home to the owners, 
they paid her wages, and gave her also besides a kid. 

13 And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I 
said unto her, From whence is this kid ? is it not stolen ? 
render it to the owners ; b for it is not lawful to eat any 

Deut. 22| 1. thing that is stolen. 
i Job 2, 9.. 14 'But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift 
more than the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but 
kch. l, 8. bade, her render it to the owners: and I was abashed at

a chap. 2, 7. rilHEN I being grieved 'did weep, and in my sorrow 
-*- prayed, saying, 

2 O Lord, thou art just, b and all thy works and all thy 
ways are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly 
for ever. 

3 Remember me, and look on me, punish me not for my 
t F.x. 20, 5. sins and ignorances, c and the sins of my fathers, who have 

sinned before thee : 

4 For they obeyed not thy commandments : wherefore 
thou hast delivered us for a spoil, and unto captivity, and 
unto death, d and for a proverb of reproach to all the na- 
tions among whom we are dispersed. 

5 And now thy "judgments are many and true : deal 
with me according to my sins and my fathers' : because we 
have not kept thy commandments, neither have walked in 
truth before thee. 

6 Now therefore deal with me f as seemeth best unto 
thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I 
may be || dissolved, and become earth : for it is profitable 
for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard 
false reproaches, and have much sorrow : command tbere- 
fore that I may now be delivered out of this distress, and 
go into the s everlasting place : turn not thy face away 
from me. 

7 It came to pass the same day, that in Ecbatane a city 
of Media, Sara the daughter of Raguel wa3 also reproached 
by her father's maids ; 

8 Because that she had been married to h seven hus-l 
bands, whom Asmodeus the evil spirit had killed before'

they had lien with her. Dost thou riot know, said they, 
that thou hast strangled thy husbands ? thou hast had al- 
ready seven husbands, neither wast thou named after any 
of them. 

9 Wherefore dost thou beat us for them ? if they be 
dead, go thy ways after them, let us never see of thee 
either son or daughter. 

10 When she heard these things, she was very sorrow- 
ful, so that she thought to have 'strangled herself; and i verse 8. 
she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do 

this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his 
old age with sorrow unto the grave. 

11 Then k she prayed towards the window, and said, kDan. 6, K>. 
Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thy holy and glo- 
rious name is blessed and honourable for ever: 'let all lPs.145,10. 
thy works praise thee for ever. 

12 And now, O Lord, I set mine eyes and my face to- 
wards thee, 

13 And say, m Take me out of the earth, that I may hear m Jonah 4, 
no more the reproach. 3- 8> 

14 Thou knowest, Lord, that I am pure from all sin 
with man, 

15 And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of 

D my father, in the land of my captivity : I am the only n verse It 
daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his 
heir, neither any || near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, II Or, 
to whom I may keep myself for a wife : my seven husbands brother - 
are already dead ; " and why should I live ? but if it please o verse 13. 
not thee that I should die, command some regard to be had 
of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach. 

16 So the prayers of them both p were heard before the p Ps. 65 2. 
majesty of the great God. 

17 And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to 

scale away the q whiteness of Tobit's eyes, and to give q ch. 2, 10. 
r Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son r verse 7. 
of Tobit ; and to bind ■ Asmodeus the evil spirit ; because s verse 8. 
she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The self- 
same time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, 
and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her up- 
per chamber. 

CHAP. IV. 
TN that day Tobit remembered the a money which he a ch. 1, 14. 
-*- had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media, 

2 And said within himself, b I have wished for death ; b ch. 3, 13 
wherefore do I not call for my son Tobias, that I may sig- 15 - 

nify to him of the money before I die ? 

3 And when he had- called him, he said, My son, when 

I am dead, bury me; and despise not thy mother, "but cEx. -20, 12. 
honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall E cc,us - 7 . 
please her, and grieve her not. 

4 Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for 
thee, when thou wast in her womb ; and when she is dead, 
bury her by me in one grave. 

5 My son, d be mindful of the Lord our God all thy d Ps. 78, 11. 
days, and let not thy will be set to sin, or to transgress his Mai. 3, 16. 
commandments : do c uprightly all thy life long, and follow e Mic. 6, C. 
not the ways of unrighteousness. 

6 For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously 
succeed to thee, and to all them that live justly. 

7 f Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest fp TO v. 3, 9. 
alms, let not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy face ^I" 3 .^ 4, '" 
from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned nike'14,13. 
away from thee. 

8 If thou hast abundance, *give alms accordingly: if g Ecchw. 
thou have but a little, be not afraid to give according to ' ' 
that little : 

9 For thou layest up a good k treasure for thyself against h Mai. 5,20 
the day of necessity. 

10 ■ Because that alms do deliver from death, and suffer- i Ecclus.29 
eth not to come into darkness. 13 -

a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a ' strange 
woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe : for we 
are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and 
Jacob : remember, my son, that our fathers from the be- 
ginning, even that they all married wives of their own 
kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed 
shall inherit the land. 

13 Now therefore, my son, love m thy brethren, and 
despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daugh- 
ters of tliy people, in not taking a wife of them : for in 
pride is destruction and much trouble, and in lewdness is 
decay and great want : for lewdness is the mother of famine. 

14 Let not the " wages of any man, which hath wrought 
for thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand : for 
if thou serve God, he will also repay thee : be ° circum- 
spect, my son, in all things thou doest, and be wise in all 
thy conversation. 

15 p Do that to no man which thou hatest : drink not 
wine to make thee drunken : neither let drunkenness go 
with thee in thy journey. 

16 q Give of thy bread to the hungry, and of thy gar- 
ments to them that are naked ; and according to thine 
abundance r give alms ; and let not thine eye be envious, 
when thou givest alms. 

17 Pour out thy bread on the burial of the just, but give 
nothing to the wicked. 

18 Ask counsel of all that are wise, and despise not any 
counsel that is profitable. 

19 E Bless the Lord thy God always, and desire of him 
that \ thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and 
counsels may prosper : for every nation hath not counsel ; 
but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he hum- 
bleth whom he will, as he will ; now therefore, my son, 
remember my commandments, neither let them be put out 
of thy mind. 

20 And now I signify this to thee, that u I committed ten 
talents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media. 

21 And fear, not, my son, that we are made poor: for 
thou hast much wealth, if thou *fear God, and depart from 
all sin, and do that which is pleasing in his sight.

things which thou hast commanded me : 

2 But how can I receive the b money, seeing I know him 
not ? 

3 Then he gave him the hand-writing, and said unto 
him, Seek thee a man which may go with thee, while 1 yet 
live, and I will give him wages : and go and receive the 
money. 

4 Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Ra- 
phael that was an angel. 

5 But he knew not ; and he said unto him, Canst thou go 
with me to c Rages ? and knowest thou those places well ? 

6 To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, and I 
know the way well : for 1 have lodged with our brother 
J Gabael. 

7 Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me, till I tell 
my father. 

8 Then he said unto him, Go, and tarry not. So he 
went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one 
which will go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, 
that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a 
trusty man to go with thee. 

9 So he called him, and he came in, and they e saluted 
one another. 

10 Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, shew me of 
what tribe and family thou art. 

11 To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or 
family, or a hired man to go with thy son ? Then Tobit 
said unto him, ' I would know, brother, thy kindred and 
name. 

12 Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the 
great, and of thy brethren. 



Apocrypha 

13 Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be 
not now angry with me, because I have inquired to know 
thy tribe and thy family ; for thou art my brother, of an 
honest and good stock : for I know Ananias and Jonathas, 
sons of that great Samaias, as we e went together to Jeru- g ch. 1, 6. 
salem to worship, and offered the first-born, and the tenths 
of the fruits ; and they were not seduced h with the error hch. 1,4,5.

14 But tell me, ' what wages shall I give thee 1 wilt thou iSeever.ll. 
a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son? 

15 Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add some- 
thing to thy wages. 

16 So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, 
Prepare thyself for the journey, k and God send you a good k See Gen.

A ND as they went on their journey, they came in the 
-^*- evening to the river Tigris, * and they lodged there. a Gen - 28 > 

2 And when the young man went down to wash himself, 
a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him. 

3 Then the b angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the b ch. 3, 17. 
young man laid hold of the fish, and || drew it to land. 

4 To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the 
heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely. 

5 So the young man did as the angel commanded him ; 
and when they had roasted the fish, they did eat it : then 
they both went on their way, till they drew near to c Ec- c ch. 3, 7, 
batane. 

6 Then the young man said to the angel, Brother d Aza- 
rias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the gall of 
the fish ? 

7 And he said unto him, Touching the heart and the 
liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make 
a smoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the 
party shall be no more vexed. 

8 As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath 
e whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed. 

9 And when they were come near to Rages, 

10 The angel said to the young man, Brother, to-day 

we shall lodge with f Raguel, who is thy cousin ; he also fchap. 3, 7, 
hath one only daughter, named e Sara ; I will speak for her, g ch. 3, 7.

12 And the maid is fair and wise : now therefore hear 8. &36, 8. 
me, and I will speak to her father ; and when we return 

from Rages we will celebrate the marriage : for I know 
that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the 
law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the 
right of inheritance doth rather appertain to thee than to 
any other. 

13 Then the young man answered the angel, I have

but those which come unto her : wherefore I also fear lest 
I die, and bring my father's and my mother's life, because 
of me, to the grave with sorrow : for they have no other

15 Then the angel said unto him, m Dost thou not re- 
member the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou 
shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred ? wherefore 
hear me, O my brother ; for she shall be given thee to 
wife ; and make thou no reckoning of the n evil spirit ; for

16 And when thou shalt come into the marriage-cham-

a chap. 6, 5. A ND when they were come to * Ecbatane, they came to 
b See Gen. -^*- the house of Raguel, h and Sara met them ; and after 
24, lo. they had saluted one another, she brought them into the 

house. 

2 Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this 
young man to Tobit my cousin ! 

3 And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, breth- 
c chap. 1,1. ren ? To whom they said, We are of the sons of c Neph- 
d ch. l, 10. thali, d which are captives in Nineve. 

4 Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kins- 
man ? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he 
in good health ? 

5 And they said, He is both alive and in good health : 
echap. 1,9. and Tobias said, e He is my father. 

6 Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept, 

7 And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son 
of an honest and good man : but when he had heard that 

f ch. 2, 10. Tobit f was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept. 
g verse 2. 3 And likewise B Edna his wife and Sara his daughter 

wept. Moreover, they entertained them cheerfully ; and 
\\(h-,asuck- a f ter t h a t they had killed || a ram of the flock, they set 
lamb ' ' s t° re of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to '" Raphael, 
Junius. Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst 
h ch. 3, 17. tjjjk m the way, and let this business be despatched. 

9 So he communicated the matter with Raguel : and 
Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry : 

10 For it is ' meet that thou shouldest marry my daugh- 
ter : nevertheless, I will declare unto thee the truth. 

11 1 have given my daughter in marriage to k seven men, 
who died that night they came in unto her : nevertheless, 
for the present be merry. But Tobias said, 1 will eat 
nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another. 

12 Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth accord- 
ing to the || manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is 
thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all 
things. 

13 Then he ' called his daughter Sara, and she came to 
her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to 

m Num. 36, be wife to Tobias, siying, Behold, take her after m the law

blessed them ; 

14 And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did 
write an instrument of covenants, "and sealed it.

A ND when they had a supped, they brought Tobias in a cb. 7, 11

2 And as he went he remembered the words of Raphael, 
and took the || ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and

him. 

4 And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias 

rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, d and let us pray d ch. 6, 17. 
that God would have pity on us. 

5 Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of 
our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for 
ever ; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures. 

6 e Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for e Gen. 2, 7. 
a" helper and stay : of them came mankind : thou hast 

said, It is not good that man should be alone ; let us make 
unto him an aid like unto himself. 

7 And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lust, 

f but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may flThess. 4, 
become aged together. 4 ' 5- 

8 And she said with him, e Amen. g l Cor. 14, 

9 So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and 
went and made a grave, 

10 Saying, I fear lest he also be dead. 

11 But when Raguel was come into his house, 

12 He said unto his h wife Edna, Send one of the maids, h ch. 7,2. 
and let her see whether he be alive : if he be not, that we 

may bury him, and no man know it. 

13 So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found 
them both asleep, 

14 And came forth, and told them that he was alive. 

15 Then Raguel ' praised God, and said, O God, thou art i Ps. 147, l. 
worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise ; there- 
fore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures ; and 

let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever. 

16 Thou art to be praised, k for thou hast made me joy- 
ful ; and that is not come to me which I suspected ; but 
thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy. 

17 Thou art to be praised, because thou hast had mercy 

of ' two that were the only-begotten children of their fa- l verse 4. 
thers : grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in 
health with joy and mercy. 

18 Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave. 

19 And he kept the '" wedding-feast fourteen days. m Judges 

20 For before the days of the marriage were finished, '}' ™- . 
Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not 14 '

-*- 2 Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and 
two camels, and go to 'Rages of Media, to Gabael, and b chap. 4,1 
bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding. 

3 For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart. 

4 But my father counteth the days ; and if I tarry long, 
he will be very sorry. 

5 So Raphael went out, and lodged with "Gabael, and c ch. 1,14. 
gave him the hand-writing : who brought forth bags which 

were sealed up, and gave them to him.

2 Then Tobit said, Are they detained ? or is Gabael 
dead, and there is no man to give him the money ? 

3 Therefore he was very sorry. 

4 Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing 
he stayeth long , and she began to bewail him, and said, 

5 Nozv b / care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee 
go, the light of mine eyes. 

6 To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, c take no care, 
for he is safe. 

7 But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not ; 
my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way 
which they went, and did eat no meat on the day-time, and 
ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until 

d ch. 8, 20. d the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which 
Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then 
Tobias said to Raguel, e Let me go, for my father and my 
mother look no more to see me. 

8 But his father-in-law said unto him, Tarry with me, 
and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto 
him how things go with thee. 

9 But Tobias said, No ; but let me go to my father. 

10 Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and 
half his goods, servants, and cattle, and money : 

1 1 And f he blessed them, and s sent them away, saying, 
The God of heaven give you a prosperous journey, my 
children. 

12 And he said to his daughter, h Honour thy father and 
thy mother-in-law, which are now thy parents, that I may 
hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also 
said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear 

iJob42,16. brother, and grant 'that I may see thy children of my 
daughter Sara before 1 die, that 1 may rejoice before the 
Lord : behold, 1 commit my daughter unto thee || of special 
trust ; wherefore do not entreat her evil. 
CHAP. XI. 
A FTER these things Tobias a went his way, praising God 
-£*• that he had given him a prosperous journey, and 
blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till 
they drew near unto b Nineve. 

2 Then ° Raphael said to Tobias, thou knowest, brother, 
how thou didst leave thy father : 

3 Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house. 

4 And take in thy hand the gall of the fish. So they 
d ch. 5, 16. went their way, d and the dog went after them. 

5 Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son. 

6 And when she espied him coming, she said to his 
father, Behold, thy son cometh, and e the man that went 
with him. 

7 Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father 
will open his eyes. 

8 Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and be- 
ing pricked therewith, he shall rub, and f the whiteness shall 
fall away, and he shall see thee. 

9 Then Anna ran forth, and g fell upon the neck of her 
son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, 
from henceforth h I am content to die. And they wept both. 

10 Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled ; 
but his son ran unto him, 

11 And took hold of his father ; and he strake of the 
gall on his father's eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my 
father. 

12 And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them ; 

13 And ' the whiteness pilled away from the corners of 
his eyes : and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck. 

14 And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and 
blessed is thy name for ever ; and blessed are all thy holy 
angels : 

15 For thou hast scourged, k and hast taken pity on me : 
for behold, I see my son Tobias. And his sou went in re- 
joicing, and told his father the great things that had hap- 
pened to him in Media. 

16 Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law at 
the gate of l Nineve, rejoicing, and praising God : and they

CHAP. XII. 
HHHEN Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, 
-*- My son, a see that the man have his wages, which 
went with thee, and thou must give him more. 

2 And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to 
me to give him half of those things which I have brought : 

3 For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, b and 
made whole my wife, c and brought me the money, and like- 
wise healed thee. 

4 Then the old man said, It is due unto him. 

5 So he called the angel, and he said unto him, d Take d verse 2. 
half of all that ye have brought, and go away in safety. 

6 Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, 
Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for 
the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all 
that live. e It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, ePs. 117, 1 
and || honourably to shew forth the works of God ; there- II Or. witk 
fore be not slack to praise him. honour. 

7 It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is 
honourable to reveal the works of God. Do that which is 
good, f and no evil shall touch you. (I Pet. 3, 

8 Prayer is good with fasting, and alms, and righteous- 13- 
ness. e A little with righteousness is better than much with gPs.37, "»■ 
unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold : 

9 For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away 
all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall 
be filled with life : 

10 But they that sin h are enemies to their own life. 

1 1 ' Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I 
said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that 
it was honourable to reveal the works of God. 

12 Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy 
daughter-in-law, k I did bring the remembrance of your kActsl0,4. 
prayers before the Holy One : and when thou didst bury 
the dead, I was with thee likewise. 

13 And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave 
thy dinner, t to go and' cover the dead, thy good deed was t Or. logo 
not hid from me : but I was with thee. j™* bu ^ 

14 And ' now God hath sent me to heal tnee and Sara thy i c h a p. 3,17. 
daughter-in-law. 

15 I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which 
present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out 
before the glory of the Holy One. 

16 Then they weie both troubled, and m fell upon their m Judg. 13, 
faces : for they feared. 20 * 

17 But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well 
with you ; praise God therefore. 

18 For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of 
our God I came ; wherefore praise him for ever. 

19 n All these days I did appear unto you ; but I did nei- n Gen. 18, 
ther eat nor drink, but ye did see a vision. j u d-r»is 

20 Now therefore give God thanks ; for I go up to him ig. " 
that sent me ; but write all things which are done in a book. 

21 And when they arose, "they saw him no more. 

22 Then they confessed the great and wonderful work? 
of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto 
them. 

CHAP. XIII. 

THEN Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said, 
Blessed be God that liveth for ever, and blessed be 
his kingdom.

Tigris, and Hydaspes, and the plain of Arioch the king of 
the Elymeans, and very many nations of the sons of Che- 
lod, assembled themselves to the battle. 

7 Then Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians sent unto 
all that dwelt in e Persia, and to all that dwell westward, 
and to those that dwelt in Cilicia, and Damascus, and Li- 
banus, and Antilibanus, and to all that dwelt upon the sea- 
coast, 

8 And to those among the nations that were of Carmel, 
and Galaad, and the higher ' Galilee, and the great plain of 
Esdrelom, 

9 And to all'that were in e Samaria and the cities thereof, 
and beyond Jordan unto Jerusalem, and Betane, andChellus, 
and Kades ; h and the river of Egypt, and Taphnes, and 
Ramesse, and all the land of Gesem, 

10 Until ye come beyond Tanis and Memphis, and to all 
the inhabitants of Egypt, until ye come to the borders of 

i Acts 8, 27. 'Ethiopia. 

1 1 But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the 
commandment of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, 
neither went they with him to the battle ; for they were 
not afraid of him : yea, he was before them as one man, 
and they sent away his ambassadors from them without 
effect, and with disgrace. 

12 Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very angry with all 
this country, and sware by his throne and kingdom, that he 
would surely be avenged upon all those coasts of k Cilicia, 
and ' Damascus, and m Syria, and that he would slay with 
the sword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, and the 
children of Ammon, and all Judea, and all that were in 
Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas. 

13 Then he marched in battle-array with his power 
against king Arphaxad in the seventeenth year, and he pre- 
vailed in his battle : for he overthrew all the power of 
Arphaxad, and all his horsemen, and all his chariots, 

14 And became lord of his cities, and came unto Ecba- 
tane, and took the ° towers, and spoiled the streets thereof, 
and turned the beauty thereof into shame. 

15 He took also "Arphaxad in the mountains of Ragau, 
and smote him through with his darts, and destroyed him 
utterly that day. 

16 So he returned afterward to p Nineve, both he and 
all his company of sundry nations, being a very great mul- 
titude of men of war, and there he took his ease, and ban- 
queted, both he and his army, a hundred and twenty days. 

CHAP. II. 
A ND a in the eighteenth year, the two and twentieth day 
i™ of the first month, there was talk in the house of Na- 
buchodonosor king of the Assyrians, that he should, b as he 
said, avenge himself on all the earth. 

2 So he cdled unto him all his officers, and all his nobles, 
and communicated with them his secret counsel, and c con- 
cluded the afflicting of the whole earth out of his own mouth. 

3 Then they decreed to destroy d all flesh that did not 
obey the commandment of his mouth. 

4 And when he had ended his counsel, Nabuchodonosor 
king of the Assyrians called Holofernes the chief captain of 

fGr. second his army, which was t next unto him, and said unto him, 
man - 5 Thus saith the great king, the lord of the whole earth, 

Behold, thou shalt go forth from my presence, and take 
with thee men that trust in their own strength, of footmen 
a hundred and twenty thousand ; and the number of horses 
with their riders twelve thousand. 

6 And thou shalt go against all the west country, because 
they disobeyed my commandment.

10 Thou therefore shalt go forth, and take beforehand

unto thee, thou shalt reserve them for me till the day of 
their punishment. 

1 1 But concerning them that rebel, let not thine eye

wheresoever thou goest. 

12 For ' as I live, and e by the power of my kingdom, f Gen. 42,

13 And take thou heed that thou transgress none of the

have commanded thee, and defer not to do them. 

14 Then Holofernes went forth from the presence of his 
lord, and called h all the governors and captains, and the h ver. 2. 
officers of the army of Assur ; 

15 And he mustered the chosen men for the battle, as 
his lord had commanded him, ■ unto a hundred and twenty i ver. 5. 
thousand, and twelve thousand archers on horseback ; 

16 And he ranged them, as a great army is ordered for 
the war. 

17 k And he took camels and asses for their carriages, a 
very great number ; and sheep, and oxen, and goats without 
number, for their provision : 

13 And plenty of victual for every man of the army, and 
very much gold and silver out of the king's house. 

19 Then he went forth and all his power to go before 
king Nabuchodonosor in the voyage, and ' to cover all the 
face of the earth westward with the chariots, and horsemen, 
and their chosen footmen. 

20 A great multitude also of sundry countries came with 
them like locusts, and like the sand of the earth : for the 
multitude was m without number. 

21 And they went forth of Nineve three days' journey 6 ' 5 - 
towards the plain of Bectileth, and pitched from Bectileth 
near the mountain which is at the left hand of the upper 
Cilicia. 

22 Then he took all his army, his footmen, and horse- 
men, and chariots, and went from thence into the hill- 
country ; 

23 And destroyed "Phud and °Lud, and spoiled all the nGen. 10,6 
children of Rasses, and the children of p Ismael, which "Gen. 10, 
were towards the wilderness at the south of the land of 
the Chellians. 

24 Then he went over Euphrates, and went through 
q Mesopotamia, and destroyed all the high cities that were q Acts 7, 2. 
upon the river Arbonai, till ye come to the sea. 

25 And he took the borders of Cilicia, and killed all that 
resisted him, and came to the borders of Japheth, which 
were towards the south, over against Arabia. 

26 He compassed also all the children of r Madian, and 
burned up their tabernacles, and spoiled their sheep-cotes. 

27 Then he went down into the plain of Damascus in 
the time of 'wheat harvest, and burned up all their fields, sRu.th2.23i 
and destroyed their flocks and herds, also he spoiled their 
cities, and utterly wasted their countries, and smote all 
their young men with the edge of the sword. 

28 Therefore the fear and dread of him fell upon all the 
inhabitants of the sea-coasts, which were in ' Sidon and tlsa. 23,4.

5 So the men came to c Holofernes, and declared unto 
him after this manner. 

6 Then came he down towards the sea-coast, both he 
and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took 
out of them chosen men for aid. 

7 So they and all the country round about received 
them with d garlands, with e dances, and with timbrels. 

8 Yet he did cast down their frontiers, and cut down 
their groves : for he had decreed to destroy all the gods of 
the land, that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor 
only, and that all tongues and tribes should call upon him 
as God. 

9 Also he came over against || Esdraelon near unto

CHAP. IV. 
O W the children of Israel that dwelt in Judea, heard 
all that Holofernes the chief captain of Nabuchodo- 
• chap. 3, 8. nosor king of the Assyrians had done to the nations, * and 
after what manner he had spoiled all their temples, and 
brought them to nought. 
Dch. 2, 28. 2 b Therefore they were exceedingly afraid of him, and 
c Pa. 137, 5, were 'troubled for Jerusalem, and for the temple of the 
R Lord their God : 

3 For they were newly returned from the captivity, and 
J Or, out of all the people || of Judea were lately gathered together : 

and the vessels, and the altar, and the house, were sancti- 
fied d after the profanation. 

4 Therefore they sent into all the coasts of Samaria, 
and the villages, and to Bethoron, and Belmen, and Jericho, 
and to Choba, and Esora, and to the valley of Salem : 

5 And possessed themselves beforehand of all the tops of 
the high mountains, and fortified the villages that were in 
them, and laid up victuals for the provision of war : for 
their fields were of late reaped. 

6 Also Joacim the high priest, which was in those days 
in Jerusalem, wrote to them that dwelt in Bethulia, and 
Betomestham, which is over against || Esdraelon towards the 
|| open country, near to Dothaim, 

7 Charging them to keep the passages of the hill-country : 
for by them there was an entrance into Judea, and it 
was easy to stop them that would come up, because the pas- 
sage was strait, || for two men. at the most. 

8 And the children of Israel did as Joacim the high priest 
had commanded them, with the || e ancients of all the peo- 
ple of Israel, which dwelt at Jerusalem. 

9 Then every man of Israel ' cried to God with great 
fervency, and with great vehemency did they humble their 
souls : 

10 Both they, s and their wives, and their children, h and 
their cattle, and every stranger and hireling, and their 
servants bought vt'tih money, put sackcloth upon their 
loins. 

11 Thus every man and woman, and the little children, 
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell before the temple, and 
cast ashes upon their heads, and spread out their sackcloth 
before the face of the Lord : also they put sackcloth about 
the altar, 

12 And cried to the God of Israel all ' with one consent 
earnestly, that he would not give their children for a prey, 
and their wives for a spoil, and the cities of their inherit- 
ance to destruction, and the sanctuary to profanation and re- 
proach, and for the nations to rejoice at. 

13 k So God heard their prayers, and looked upon their 
afflictions • for the people fasted many days in all Judea and 
Jerusalem before the sanctuary of the Lord Almighty. 

14 And Joacim the high priest, ' and all the priests that 
stood before the Lord, and they which ministered unto the 
Lord, had their loins girt with sackcloth, and offered the

CHAP. V. 
r | THEN was it declared to Holofernes, the chief captain 
-*- of the army of Assur, that a the children of Israel had a chap. 4,1. 
prepared for war, and had b shut up the passages of the hill- bchap. 4, 7. 
country, and had fortified | all the tops of the high hills, and t G >- aii t! * 
had laid impediments in the champaign countries : top ' 

2 Wherewith ° he was very angry, and called all the c ch. l, 12. 
princes of Moab, and the captains of Ammon, and all the 
governors of the sea-coast, 

3 And he said unto them, Tell me now, ye sons of Cha- 

naan, who this people is that dwelleth d in the hill-country, d Luke l, 
and what are the cities that they inhabit, and what is the 30 " 
multitude of their army, and wherein is their power and 
strength, and what king is set over them, or captain of their 
army ; 

4 And why have they determined not to come and meet 
me, " more than all the inhabitants of the west. 

5 f Then said Achior, s the captain of all the sons of Am- 
mon, Let my lord now hear a word from the mouth of thy 
servant, and I will declare unto thee the truth concerning 
this people, which dwelleth near thee, and inhabiteth the 
hill-countries : and there shall no lie come out of the mouth 
of thy servant. 

6 This people are descended of the Chaldeans : 

7 b And they sojourned heretofore in Mesopotamia, be- 
cause they would not follow ' the gods of their fathers, 
which were in the land of Chaldea. 

8 For they |j left the way of their ancestors, and wor- 
shipped the God of heaven, the God whom they knew : so ouio f- 
they cast them out from the face of their gods, and they 
fled into Mesopotamia, and sojourned there many days. 

$ Then k their God commanded them to depart from the kGeu. 12,1 
place where they sojourned, and to go into the land of * l^'a 7 ', 
Chanaan : where they dwelt, and were increased with gold 
and silver, and with very much cattle. 

10 But when a famine covered all the land of Chanaan, 

'they went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, while I Gen. 46, S 
they were nourished, ,n and became there a great multi- 6 > £ 
tude, so that one could not number their nation. 

1 1 Therefore the king of Egypt rose up against them, 
"and dealt subtilly with them, and brought them low with n Ex. 1, 8, 
labouring in " brick, and made them slaves. 

12 Then they cried unto their God, and he smote all 
the land of Egypt with incurable plagues : so the r Egyp- p Ex. 12,31 
tians cast them out of their sight. 

13 And q God dried the Red Sea before them, 

14 And r brought them t to mount Sina, and Cades- 
Barne, and cast forth all that dwelt in the wilderness. 

15 So they dwelt in the land of the Amorites, and they 
destroyed by their strength all them of Esebon, and passing "f« °f 
over Jordan they possessed all the hill-country. 

16 "And they cast forth before them the Chanaanite, sJwh. 12,7, 
the Pherezite, the Jebusite, and the Sychemite, and all the 
Gergesites, and they dwelt in that country many days. 

17 And whilst they sinned not before their God, they 
prospered, because the God ' that hateth iniquity was with tHab. 1,13. 
them. 

18 "But when they departed from the way which he ^ J ^ d | e J' 2 ' 
appointed them, they were destroyed in many battles very 

sore, * and were led captives into a land that was not *2 Kiugd 
theirs, and the temple of their God was cast to the ground, 
and their cities were taken by the enemies. 

19 But y now they are returned to their God, and are yEjral.l. 
come up from the places where they were scattered, and 1(0r ftow 
have possessed Jerusalem, where their sanctuary is, and thHrdwlL 
|| are seated in ■ the hill-country ; for it was desolate. fag*^ 

20 Now therefore, my lord and governor, a if there be a , K ' in ,.,' 8i 
any error in this people, and they sin against their God, 46.

let us consider that this shall be their ruin, and let us go

21 But if there be no iniquity in their nation, let my 
lord now pass by, lest their Lord defend them, and b their 
God be for them, and we become a reproach before all the 
world. 

22 And when Achior had finished these sayings, all the 
people standing round about the tent murmured, and the 
chief men of Holofernes, and all that dwelt by the sea-side, 
and in Moab, spake that he should kill him. 

23 For, say they, we will not be afraid of the face of the 
children of Israel : for lo, it is c a people that have no 
strength nor power f for a strong battle. 

.24 Now therefore, lord Holofernes, we will go up, and 
they shall be a prey to be devoured of all thine army. 
CHAP. VI. 

A ND when the a tumult of men that were about the 
-£*- council was ceased, Holofernes the chief captain of 
the army of Assur said unto Achior and all the Moabites 
before all the company of other nations, 

2 And who art thou, Achior, and the hirelings of 
Ephraim, that thou hast prophesied among us as to-day, 
and hast said, that we should not make war with the people 
of Israel, because their God will defend them ? b and who 
is God but Nabuchodonosor ? 

3 He will send his power, and will destroy them from 
the face of the earth, and their God shall not deliver them : 
but we his servants c will destroy them as one man ; for 
they are not able to sustain the power of our horses. 

4 For with them we will tread them under foot, and 
d their mountains shall be drunken with their blood, and 
their fields shall be filled with their dead bodies, and their 
footsteps shall not be able to stand before us, for they shall 
utterly perish, saith king Nabuchodonosor, lord of all 
the earth : for he said, None of my words shall be in 
vain. 

5 And thou, Achior, e a hireling of Ammon, which hast 
spoken these words in the day of thine iniquity, shalt see 
my face no more from this day, until I take vengeance of 
this nation ' that came out of Egypt. 

6 And then shall the sword of mine army, and the mul- 
titude of them that serve me, pass through thy sides, and 
thou shalt fall among their slain, when I return. 

7 Now therefore E my servants shall bring thee back into 
the hill-country, and shall set thee in one of the cities h of 
the passages : 

8 And thou shalt not perish, till thou be destroyed with 
them. 

9 And if thou persuade thyself in thy mind that they 
shall not be taken, let not thy countenance fall : I have 
spoken it, and none of my words shall be in vain. 

10 Then Holofernes commanded his servants, that waited 
in his 'tent, to take Achior, and bring him to.Bethulin, and 
deliver him into the hands of the children of Israel. 

11 So his servants took him, and brought him out of the 
camp into k the plain, and they went from the midst of the 
plain into the hill-country, and came unto the fountains 
that were under Bethulia. 

12 And when the men of the city saw them, they took 
up their weapons, and went out of the city to the top of the 
hill : and every man that used ' a sling kept them from 
coming up by casting of stones against them. 

13 Nevertheless, having gotten privily under the hill, 
they bound Achior, and cast him down, and left him at the 

m ch. 5. 24. foot of the hill, and returned to their m lord. 

14 But the Israelites descended from their city, and came 
unto him, and loosed him, and brought him into " Bethulia, 
and presented him to the governors of the city : 

15 Which were in those clays Ozias the son of Micha, 
of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the son of Gothoniel, 
and Charmis the son of Melchiel. 

16 And they called together all ° the ancients of the city, 
nnd all their youth ran together, and their women, to the

assembly, and they sat Achior in the midst of all their peo-

17 And he answered and declared unto them the words 

of p the council of Holofernes, and all the words that he had p verse i. 
spoken in the midst of the princes of Assur, and what- 
soever Holofernes had spoken proudly against the house 
of Israel. 

18 Then the people q fell down and worshipped God, qPs. 72, 11. 
and cried unto God, saying, 

19 O r Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, and pity r ch. 5, 8. 
the low estate of our nation, and look upon the face of those 

that are sanctified unto thee this day. 

20 Then s they comforted Achior, and praised him greatly, s verse 19. 

21 And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, 

and made a feast to the elders ; ' and they called on the God tPs. 50, 15 
of Israel all that night for help. 

CHAP. VII. 
nnHE next day Holofernes commanded all his army, and 
-*- all his people which were come to take his part, that 
they should remove their camp against a Bethulia, to fake 
aforehand the ascents of the hill-country, and to make war 
against the children of Israel. 

2 Then their strong men removed their camps in that 
day, and the army of the men of war was b a hundred and 
seventy thousand footmen, and twelve thousand horsemen, 
besides the baggage, and other men that were afoot among 
them, a verj' grer>t multitude. 

3 And they camped in the valley near unto Bethulia, 
c by the fountain, and they spread themselves in breadth 
|| over Dothaim even to Belmaim, and in length from Be- 
thulia unto t Cyamon, which is over against Esdraelom. 

4 Now the children of Israel, when they saw the multi- 
tude of them, were greatly troubled, and said every one to f- e M- 
his neighbour, d Now will these men lick up the face of d Num. 22, 
the earth ; for neither the high mountains, nor the valleys, 4- 

nor the hills, are able to bear their weight. 

5 Then every man took up his weapons of war, and 
when they had kindled fires upon their towers, they 
remained and e watched all that night. « Hab. 2, l. 

6 But in the second day Holofernes brought forth all his 
horsemen in the sight of the children of Israel which were 
in Bethulia ; 

7 And viewed f the passages up to the city, and came to f cha P- 4 > 7 
e the fountains of their waters, and took them, and set gar- S ch. 6, 11 
risons of men of war over them, and he himself removed 
toward his people. 

8 Then came unto him all the chief of the children of 
Esau, and all the governors of the people of Moab, and the 
captains of the sea-coast, and said, 

9 Let our lord now hear a word, that there be not an 
overthrow in thine army. 

10 For this people of the children of Israel do not trust 

in their h spears, but in the height of the mountains wherein h 1 Sam. 17 
they dwell, because it is not easy to come up to the tops of p s " 20 7 A 
their mountains. 33,16,17. 

11 Now therefore, my lord, fight not against them in 
battle-array, and there shall not so much as one man of 
thy people perish. 

12 Remain in thy camp, and keep all the men of thine 
army, and let thy servants get into their hands ! the foun- ' verse 7 - 
tain of water, which issueth forth of the foot of the moun- 
tain : 

13 For all the inhabitants of Bethulia have their water 
thence : k so shall thirst kill them, and they shall give up their k Ex. 17, 3 
city, and we and our people shall go up to the tops of the 
mountains that .are near, and will camp upon them, to 

watch that none go out of the city. 

14 So they and their wives and their children shall be 
consumed ' with famine, and before the sword come against ' Ex - 16 > 3 
them, they shall be overthrown in the streets where they 

dwell. 

15 Thus shalt thou render them an evil reward ; be 
cause they m rebelled, and n met not thy person peaceably

16 And these words pleased Holofernes and all his ser- 
vants, and he appointed to do as they had spoken. 

17 So the camp of the children of Amnion departed, and 
with them rive thousand of the Assyrians, and they pitched 
in the valley, and "took the waters, and the fountains of 
the waters of the children of Israel. 

18 Then the children of Esau went up with the children 
of Ammon, and camped in the hill-country over against 
p Dothaim : and they sent some of them toward the south, 
and toward the east, over against Ekrebel, which is near 
unto Chusi, that is upon the brook Mochmur ; and the rest 
of the army of the Assyrians camped in the plain, and 
q covered the face of the whole land ; and their tents and 
carriages were pitched to a very great multitude. 

19 Then the r children of Israel cried unto the Lord 
their God, because their heart failed, for all their enemies 
had compassed them round about, and there was no way to 
escape out from among them. 

20 Thus all the company of Assur remained about them, 
both their footmen, chariots, and horsemen," four and thirty 
days, s so that all their vessels of water failed all the inha- 
bitants of Beihulia. 

21 And the || cisterns were emptied, and they had not 
water to drink their till for one day ; for they gave them 
drink by measure. 

22 Therefore their young children were out of heart, 
tba.40,30. and their women 'and young men fainted for thirst, and 

fell down in the streets of the city, and by the passages of 
the gates, and there was no longer any strength in them. 

23 Then all the people assembled to u Ozias, and to the 
chief of the city, both young men, and women, and chil- 
dren, and cried with a loud voice, and said before all the 
elders, 

24 God be "judge between us and you : for ye have 
done us great injur}', y in that ye have not required peace 
of the children of Assur. 

25 For now we have no helper : z but God hath sold us 
into their hands, that we should be thrown down before 
them with thirst and great destruction. 

26 Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the 
whole city for a spoil to the peopie of Holofernes, and to 
all his army. 

27 For it is better for us to be made a spoil unto them, 
than to die for thirst : for we will be his servants, that our 
souls may live, and not see the death of our infants before 
our eyes, nor our wives' nor our children to die. 

28 a We take to witness against you the heaven and the 
earth, and our God and Lord of our fathers, which pnnish- 
eth us according to our sins and the sins of our fathers, 
|| that he do not according as we have said this day. 

29 Then there was great weeping with one consent in 
the midst of the assembly ; and they cried unto the Lord 
God with a loud voice. 

30 Then said l Ozias to them, Brethren, be of good 
courage, let us yet endure five days, in the which space the 
Lord our God may turn his mercy toward us ; c for he 
will not forsake us utterly. 

31 And if these days pass, and there come no help unto 
us, I will do according to your word. 

32 And he dispersed the people, every one to their own 
charge ; and they went unto the walls and towers of their 
city, and sent the women and children into their houses : 
d and they were very low brought in the city.

4 So Judith was a widow in her house three years and 
four months. 

5 And she made her a tent upon the top of her house, 
and put on sackcloth upon her loins, and ware her widow's 
apparel. 

6 And e she fasted all the da}? of her widowhood, save e Luk % 
the eves of the sabbaths, and the sabbaths, and the eves of 37 - 

the new moons, and the new moons, and the feasts and

7 She was also of a goodly countenance, and very beau-

gold, and silver, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and 
cattle, and lands ; || and she remained upon them. || or, mid 

8 And there was none that nave her an ill word; for siekept 
she feared God greatly. them ' 

9 Now when she heard ' the evil words of the people f ch. 7, 22. 
against the governor, that they fainted for lack of water ; 2 s - 

for Judith had heard all % the words that Ozias had spoken gc tj 7 M> 
unto them, and that he had sworn to deliver the city unto 31. 
the Assyrians after five days ; 

10 Then she sent her waiting-woman, that had the 
government of all things that she fyad, to call Ozias and 

" Chabris and Charmis, ■ the ancients of the city. h ch. 6, 15 

1 1 And they came unto her, and she said unto them, ' c "- 6 ' 16- 
Hear me now, O ye governors of the inhabitants of Bethu- 
lia : for your words that ye have spoken before the people 

this day are not right, touching this k oath which ye made k vei« ; 9. 
and pronounced between God and you, and have promised 
to deliver the city to our enemies, unless withiD these days 
the Lord turn to help you. 

12 And now who are ye that have 'tempted God this ip s . 95, 9. 
day, and stand instead of God among the children of men ? 

13 And now try the Lord Almighty, but ye shall never 
know any thing. 

14 For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, 
neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh : "then m Jo>< 11, 
how can ye search out God, that hath made all these 7 
things, and know his mind, or comprehend his purpose ? 
Nay, my brethren, provoke not the Lord our God to anger. 

15 For if he will not help us within these five days, "he nDan.4, 35 
hath power to defend us when he will, even every day, or 

to destroy us before our enemies. 

16 Do not || bind the counsels of the Lord our God : for || Or. 
"God is not as man, that he may be threatened ; neither is en S"S c - 
he as the son oi man, that he should be wavering. jo 

17 Therefore let us p wait for salvation of him, and call Isa. 55,8,9 
upon him to help us, and he will hear our voice, if it please f b ' J *' n 49 ' 
him. 

18 For there arose none in our age, neither is there any 
now in these days, neither tribe rior family, nor || people, 
nor city, among us, which worship gods made with hands, 
q as hath been aforetime. 

19 For the which cause our fathers were given to the 
sword, and for a spoil, and had a great fall before our 
enemies. 

20 But we know none other God, therefore ' we trust 
that he will not despise us, nor any of our nation. 

21 For if we be taken so. all Judca shall lie waste, ' and 
our sanctuary shall be spoiled ; and he will require the 
profanation thereof at our mouth. 

22 And the || slaughter of our brethren, and the captivity || 0,,/uxr 
of the country, and the desolation of our inheritance, will 

he turn upon our heads among the Gentiles, wheresoever 
we shall be in bondage ; ' and we Bhall be an offence and a 
reproach to all them that possess us. 

23 For our servitude shall not be directed to favour: 
but the Lord our God Bhall turn it to dishonour.

25 Moreover, let us give thanks to the Lord our God, 
which trieth us, even as he did our fathers. 

26 Remember what things he did to " Abraham, and how 
he tried Isaac, and what happened to y Jacob in Mesopota- 
mia of Syria, when he kept the sheep of Laban his mother's 
brother. 

27 For he hath not tried us in the fire, as he did them, 
for the examination of their hearts, neither hath he taken 
vengeance on us : z but the Lord doth scourge them that 
come near unto him, to admonish them. 

28 Then said a Ozias to her, All that thou hast spoken, 
hast thou spoken with a good heart, and there is none that 
may gainsay thy words. 

29 For this is not the first day wherein thy wisdom is 
manifested ; but from the beginning of thy days all the peo- 
ple have known thy understanding, because the disposition 
of thy heart is good. 

30 b But the people were very thirsty, and compelled us 
to do unto them as we have spoken, and to bring an oath 
upon ourselves, which we will not break. 

31 Therefore now c pray thou for us, because thou art 
a godly woman, and the Lord will send us rain to fill our 
cisterns, and we shall faint no more. 

32 Then said Judith unto them, Hear me, and I will do 
a thing which shall go throughout all generations to the 
children of our nation. 

33 Ye shall stand this night in the gate, and I will go forth 
with my waiting-woman : and within the days that ye have 
promised to deliver the city to our enemies, the Lord will 
d visit Israel by my hand. 

34 But inquire not ye of mine act : for I will not declare 
it unto you, till the things be finished that I do. 

35 Then said Ozias and the princes unto her, e Go in 
peace, and the Lord God be before thee, to take vengeance 
on our enemies. ' ■> 

36 So they returned from the tent, and went to their 
wards. 

CHAP. IX. 
rpiHEN Judith a fell upon her face, and put ashes upon 
-■- her head, and uncovered the sackcloth wherewith she 
was clothed ; and about the time b that the incense of that 
evening was offered in Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, 
Judith cried with a loud voice, and said, 

2 O Lord God of my father c Simeon, to whom thou 
gavest a sword to take vengeance of the strangers, who 
loosened the girdle of a maid to defile her, and discovered 
the thigh to her shame, and polluted her virginity to her 
reproach ; d for thou saidst, It shall not be so ; and yet they 
did so : 

3 Wherefore thou gavest their rulers to be slain, so that 
they dyed their bed in blood, being deceived, and smotest 
the servants with their lords, and the lords upon their 
thrones ; 

4 e And hast given their wives for a prey, and their daugh- 
ters to be captives, and all their spoils to be divided among 
thy dear children ; which were moved with thy zeal, and 
abhorred f the pollution of their blood, and called upon thee 
for aid : O God, O my God, hear me also e a widow. 

5 For thou hast wrought not only those things, but also 
the things which fell out before and which ensued after ; 
thou hast thought upon the things which are now, and which 
are to come. 

6 Yea, h what things thou didst determine were ready at 
hand, and said, Lo, we are here : for all thy ways are pre- 
pared, and thy judgments are in thy foreknowledge. 

7 For, behold, the Assyrians ■ are multiplied in their 
power ; they are exalted with horse and man ; they glory 
in the strength of their footmen ; they trust in shield and 
spear, and bow and sling ; and know not that thou art the 
Lord that breakest the battles : the Lord is thy name. 

8 Throw dowa their strength in thy power, and bring

down their force in thy wrath : k for they have purposed to k ch. 8,21. 
defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle where 
thy glorious name resteth, and to cast down with the sword 
the horn of thine altar. 

9 Behold their pride, and send thy wrath upon their 
heads : give into my hand, which am a widow, the power 
that I have conceived. 

10 ' Smite by the deceit of my lips the servant with the Uudg.4,11. 
prince, and the prince with the servant : break down their & 5 > 2y - 
stateliness by the hand of a woman. 

1 1 m For thy power standeth not in multitude, nor thy ™ J"dg- 7, 
might in strong men : for thou art a God of the afflicted, 
a helper of the oppressed, an upholder of the weak, a pro- 
tector of the forlorn, a saviour of them that are without 
hope. 

12 I pray thee, I pray thee, ° O God of my father, and nGen.32,& 
God of the inheritance of Israel, ° Lord of the heavens and 
earth, Creator of the waters, King of every creature, hear 
thou my prayer : 

13 And make my speech and p deceit to be their wound p verse 10.

covenant, and thy hallowed house, and against the top of 

q Sion, and against the house of the possession of thy q Ps. 4a, 2. 
children. 

14 And make r every nation and tribe to acknowledge rDan. 6,26. 
that thou art the God of all power and might, and that there 

is none other that protecteth the people of Israel but thou.

MOW after that she had ceased a to cry unto the God of a chap, o, i. 
-"-^ Israel, and had made an end of all these words, 

2 She rose where she had fallen down, and called b her b ch. 8. 33. 
m;iid, and went down into the house, in the which she 

abode in the sabbath-days, and in her feast-days. 

3 And pulled off c the sackcloth which she had on, and c ch. 8, 5. 
put off the garments of her widowhood, and washed her 

body all over with water, and anointed herself with precious 
ointment, and braided the hair of her head, and put on a 
t tire upon it, and put on her garments of gladness, where- 
with she was clad during the life of d Manasses her husband. 

4 And she took sandals upon her feet, and e put about 
her her bracelets, and her chains, and her rings, and her 
ear-rings, and all her ornaments, and decked herself bravely, 
to allure the eyes of all men that should see her. 

5 Then she gave her maid a bottle of wine, and a cruse 
of oil, and filled a bag with parched corn, and lumps of figs, 
and with fine bread ; so she || folded all these things to- 
gether, and laid them upon her. 

6 Thus they went forth to the gate of the city of Bethu- 
lia, and found standing there f Ozias, and the ancients of fch. 8, 35. 
the city, Chabris and Charmis. 

7 And when they saw her, that her countenance was 
altered, ? and her apparel was changed, they wondered pt g verse 3. 
her beauty very greatly, and said unto her, 

8 The God, h the God of our fathers, give thee favour, h Acts 24, 
and accomplish thine enterprises to the glory of the chil- 14 - 
dren of Israel, and to the exaltation of Jerusalem. Then 

they worshipped God. 

9 And she said unto them, Command the gates of the 
city to be opened unto me, that I may go forth to accom- 
plish the things whereof ye have spoken with me. So 
they commanded the young men to open unto her, as she 
had spoken. 

10 And when they had done so, Judith went out, she, 
and her maid with her ; and the men of the city looked 

after her, until she was gone down the mountain, ' and till ich. 6, 1. 
she had passed the valley, and could see her no more. 

1 1 Thus they went straight forth in the valley : and the 

first watch of the k Assyrians met her, k ch. 9, 7. 

12 And took her, and asked her, Of what people art 
thou ? and whence comest thou ? and whither goest thou ? 

1 And she said, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled l Q ch. 9, 10. 
from them : for they shall be given you to be consumed :

him a way wherehy he shall go, and win all the hill-coun- 
try, without losing the body or life of any one of his men. 

14 Now when the men heard her words, and beheld her 
countenance, ra they wondered greatly at her beauty, and 
said unto her, 

15 Thou hast saved thy life, in that thou hast hasted to 
come down to the presence of our lord : now therefore 
come to his tent, and some of us shall conduct thee, until 
they have delivered thee to his hands. 

16 And when thou standest before him, be not afraid in 
thy heart, but shew uuto him n according to thy word ; 
and he will entreat thee well. 

17 Then they chose out of them a hundred men f] to 
accompany her and her maid ; and they brought her to the 
tent of Holofernes. 

18 Then was there a concourse throughout all the 
camp : for her coming was noised among the tents, and 
they came about her, as she stood without the tent of 
Holofernes, till they told him of her. 

19 "And they wondered at her beauty, and admired the 
children of Israel because of her, and every one said to his 

P ch. 5, 23. neighbour, p Who would despise this people that have among 
them such women ? surely it is not good that one man of 
them be left, who being let go might deceive the whole 
earth. 

20 And they that lay near Holofernes went out, and all 
his servants, and they brought her into q the tent. 

21 Now Holofernes rested upon his bed under a canopy, 
which was woven with purple, and gold, and emeralds, and 
precious stones. 

22 So they shewed him of her ; and he came out before 
his tent with silver lamps going before him. 

23 And when Judith was come before him and his ser- 
vants, r they all marvelled at the beauty of her countenance ; 
• and she fell down upon her face, and did reverence unto 
him : and his servants took her up. 

CHAP. XI. 

rilHEN said Holofernes unto her, Woman, a be of good 

-*- comfort, fear not in thy heart : for I never hurt any 

that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor, h the king of all 

the earth. 

2 Now therefore, if thy people c that dwelleth in the moun- 
tains had not set light by me, I would not have lifted up my 
spear against them : but they have done these things to 
themselves. 

3 But now tell me wherefore thou art fled from them, 
and art come unto us : for thou art come for safeguard ; d be 
of good comfort, thou shalt live this night, and hereafter : 

4 For none shall hurt thee, but entreat thee well, as they 
do the servants of king Nabuchodonosor my lord. 

5 Then Judith said unto him, Receive the words of thy 
servant, and suffer thy handmaid to speak in thy presence, 

e th. 10, 13. e and I will declare no lie to my lord this night. 

6 And if thou wilt follow the words of thy handmaid, God 
will bring the thing perfectly to pass by thee ; and my lord 
shall not fail of his purposes. 

7 As Nabuchodonosor f king of all the earth liveth, and 
as his power liveth, e who hath sent thee for the upholding 
of every living thing : for not only men shall serve him by 
thee, but also the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the 
fowls of the air, shall live by thy power under Nabuchodo- 
nosor and all his house. 

8 For we have heard of thy wisdom and thy policies, 
and it is reported in all the earth, that thou only art || ex- 
cellent in all the kingdom, and mighty in knowledge, and 
wonderful in feats of war. 

9 Now as concerning the matter, h which Achior did speak 
in thy council, we have heard his words ; for the men of 
Bethulia || saved him, and he declared unto them all that 
he had spoken unto thee.

shall not be punished, neither can the sword prevail against

1 1 And now, that my lord be not defeated and frustrate 
of his purpose, even death is now fallen upon them, and 
their sin hath overtaken them, wherewith they will provoke 
their God to anger, whensoever they shall do that which is 
not fit to be done : 

12 For their victuals fail them, * and all their water is kch. 7,22. 
scant, and they have determined to lay hands upon their cat- 
tle, and purposed to consume all those things, that God hath 
forbidden them to eat by his laws : 

13 And are resolved to spend the first-fruits of the corn, 
and the tenths of wine and oil, which they had sanctified, 

! and reserved for the priests that serve in Jerusalem before 1 Mat. 12, 4. 
the face of our God ; the which things it is not lawful for 
any of the people so much as to touch with their hands. 

14 For they have sent some to Jerusalem, because they 
also that dwell there have done the like, to bring them a 
license from the senate. 

15 Now when they shall bring them word, they will forth- 
with do it, m and they shall be given thee to be destroyed m verse 11. 
the same day. 

16 Wherefore I thy handmaid, knowing all this, n am fled n verse 3 - 
from their presence ; and God hath sent me to work things 

with thee, whereat all the earth shall be astonished, and 
whosoever shall hear it. 

17 For thy servant is religious, and serveth the God of 
heaven ° day and night : now therefore, my lord, I will re- 
main with thee, and thy servant will go out by night into the 
valley, and I will pray unto God, and he will tell me when 
they have committed their sins : 

18 And I will come and shew it unto thee : then thou 
shalt go forth with all thine army, and there shall be none 
of them that shall resist thee. 

19 And p I will lead thee through the midst of Judea, un- 
til thou come before Jerusalem ; and I will set thy throne 
in the midst thereof; and thou shalt drive them as sheep 
that have no shepherd, and q a dog shall not so much as || open 
his mouth at thee : for || these things were told me accord- 
ing to my foreknowledge, and they were declared unto me, things have

20 Then her words pleased Holofernes and all his ser- 
vants ; and they marvelled at r her wisdom, and said, r Seevej. 8. 

21 There is not such a woman from one end of the earth 

to the other, both ■ for beauty of face, and wisdom of s ch. 10, 19. 
words. 

22 Likewise Holofernes said unto her, * God hath done t Gen. 45, 5. 
well to send thee before the people, that strength might be 

in our hands, and destruction upon them that lightly regard 
my lord. 

23 And now thou art both beautiful in thy countenance, 
and witty in thy words : surely if thou do as thou hast spo- 
ken, " thy God shall be my God, and thou shalt dwell in the u Ruth 1, 16. 
house of king Nabuchodonosor, and shalt be renowned 
through the whole earth.

2 And Judith said, I '■ will not eat thereof, lest there he 
an offence : but provision shall be made for me of the things

3 Then Holofernes said unto her, If thy provision should 
fail, how should we give thee the like ? for there be none 
with us of c thy nation. 

4 Then said Judith unto him, As thy soul liveth, my lord,

6 And sent to Holofernes, saying, Let my lord now com- 
« ch. 11, 17. mand that thy handmaid e may go forth unto prayer. 

7 Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should 
not stay her : thus she abode in the camp three days, and 

t ch. 13, 10. went out in the night into f the valley of Bethulia, and wash- 
ed herself in a fountain of water by the camp. 

8 And when she came out, she besought the Lord God 
of Israel to direct her way to the raising up of the children 
of her people. 

9 So she came in clean, and remained in the tent, until 
she did eat her meat at evening. 

§ verse 5. 10 And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feast to e his 

own servants only, and called none of the officers to the 
banquet. 

11 Then said he to Bagoas the eunuch, who had charge 
hch. 10,12. over all that he had, Go now, and persuade this h Hebrew 

woman which is with thee, that she come unto us, and eat 
and drink with us. 

12 For lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we shall 
let ' such a woman go, not having had her company ; for if 
we draw her not unto us, she will laugh us to scorn. 

13 Then went Bagoas from the presence of Holofer- 
nes, and came to her, and he said, k Let not this fair dam- 
sel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured in his pre- 
sence, and drink wine, and be merry with us, and be made 

1 ch. 11, 23. this day as one of the daughters of the Assyrians, ' which 
serve in the house of Nabnchodonosor. 

14 Then said Judith unto him, m Who am I now, that I 
should gainsay my lord ? surely whatsoever pleaseth him I 
will do speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my 
death. 

15 So she arose, n and decked herself with her apparel, 
and all her women's attire, and her maid went and laid soft 
skins on the ground for her over against Holofernes, which 
she had received of " Bagoas for her daily use, that she 
might sit and eat upon them. 

16 Now when Judith came in and sat down, Holofernes' 
heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and 
he desired greatly her company ; for he waited a time to 
deceive her, from the day that he had seen her. 

17 Then said Holofernes unto her, Drink now, p and be 
merry with us. 

18 So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my 
life is magnified in me this day more than all the days since 
I was born. 

19 Then she took and ate and drank before him what 
, her maid had prepared. 

20 And Holofernes took great delight in her, and drank 
much more wine than he had drunk at any time in one day 
r since he was born. 

CHAP. XIII. 
'TVTOW when the evening was come, a his servants made

dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord ; and 
they went to their beds : for they were all weary, because 
the feast had been long. 

2 And Judith was left alone in the tent, and Holofernes 
lying along upon his bed : for he was filled with b wine. 

3 Now Judith had commanded her maid to stand with- 
out hei bed-chamber, and to wait for her coming forth, as 
she did daily : for she said she would go forth c to her pray- 
ers, and she spake to Bagoas according to the same purpose.

of his head, and said, ' Strengthen me, O 
Israel, this day. 

8 s And she smote twice upon his neck with all her might, 
and she took away his head from him, 

9 And tumbled his body down from the bed, and pulled 
down the canopy from the pillars, and anon after she went 
forth, and gave Holofernes' head to h her maid ; 

10 And she put it in her bag of meat : so they twain went 
together according to their custom unto prayer : and when 
they passed the camp, they compassed ' the valley, and went 
up the mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof. 

1 1 Then said Judith afar off to the watchmen k at the 
gate, Open, open now the gate: God, even our God, is with 
us, to shew his power yet in Jerusalem, and his forces against 
the enemy, as he hath even done this day. 

12 Now when the men of her city heard her voice, they 
made haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they 
called ' the elders of the city. 

13 And then thej ran all together, both small and great, 
for it was strange unto them that she was come : so they 
opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for a 
light, and stood round about them. 

14 Then she said to them with a loud voice, m Praise, 
praise God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away 
his mercy from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our 
enemies by my hands this night. 

15 So " she took the head out of the bag, and shewed it, 
and said unto them, Behold the head of Holofernes, the 
chief captain of the army of Assui , and behold the canopy, 
wherein he did lie in his drunkenness ; and the Lord hath 
smitten him ° by the hand of a woman. 

16 As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in my way that 
I went, my countenance hath p deceived him to his destruc- 
tion, and yet hath he not committed sin with me, q to defile 
and shame me. 

1 7 Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and 
bowed themselves, and worshipped God, and said with one 
accord, Blessed be thou, O our God, which hast this day 
brought to nought the enemies of thy people. 

18 Then said Ozias unto her, O daughter, r blessed art 
thou of the most high God above all the women upon the 
earth : and s blessed be the Lord God, ' which hath created 
the heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to the 
cutting off of the head of the chief of our enemies. 

19 For this thy confidence shall not depart from the 
heart of men, which remember the power of God for ever. 

20 And God turn these things to thee for a perpetual 
praise, to visit thee in good things, because thou hast not 
spared thy life for the affliction of u our nation, but hast re- 
venged our ruin, walking a straight way before our God. 
And all the people said, So be it, so be it.

f aiHEN said Judith unto them, Hear me now, my brethren, 
-*- and take this a head, and hang it upon the highest place 
of your walls. 

2 And so soon as the morning shall appear, and the sun 
shall come forth upon the earth, take ye b every one his 
weapons, and go forth every valiant man out of the city, 
and set ye a captain over them, as though ye would go 
down into the field toward c the watch of the Assyrians ; 
but go not down. 

3 Then they shall take their armour, and shall go into 
their camp, and raise up the captains of the army of Assur, 
and they shall run to the tent of Holofernes, but shall not 
find him : then fear shall fall upon them, ,f and they shall 
flee before your face. 

4 So ye, and all that inhabit the coast of Israel, shall 
pursue them, and overthrow them as they go. 

5 But before ye do these things, call me e Achior the 
Ammonite, that he may see and know him that despised the 
house of Israel, and that sent him to us, as it were to his 
death.

and when he was come, and saw the head of Holofernes in 

a man's hand in the assembly of the people, he fell down 

on his face, and his spirit failed. 
t Rev. 1,17. 7 But when they had recovered him, f he fell at Judith's 
gch. 13, 18. feet, and reverenced her, and said, s Blessed art thou in all 

the tabernacle of Juda, and in all nations, which hearing 

thy name shall be astonished. 

8 Now therefore tell me all the things that thou hast done 

in these days. Then Judith declared unto him in the midst 

of the people all that she had done, from the day that she 

went forth until that hour she spake unto them. 
hEzi-a3.il. 9 And when she had left off speaking, h the people 

shouted with a loud voice, and made a joyful noise in their 

city. 

10 And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel 
had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the 

iJer. 50, 5. flesh of his foreskin, and was 'joined unto the house of 
Israel unto this day. 

1 1 And as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the 
head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his 
weapons, and they went forth by bands unto the || straits of 
the mountain. 

12 But when the Assyrians saw them, they sent to k their 
leaders, which came to their captains and tribunes, and to 
every one of their rulers. 

13 So they came to Holofernes' tent, and said to ' him 
that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord : 
for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to 
battle, m that they may be utterly destroyed. 

14 Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of the 
tent ; for he thought that he had slept with Judith. 

15 But because none answered, m he opened it, and went 
into the bed-chamber, and found him cast upon the floor 
dead, n and his head was taken from him. 

16 || Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with weep- 
ing, and sighing, and a mighty cry, ° and rent his garments. 

17 After, he went into the tent where Judith lodged : 
and when he found her not, he leaped out to the people, and 
cried, 

18 p These slaves have dealt treacherously ; one woman 
of the Hebrews hath brought shame upon the house of 
king Nabuchodonosor : for behold, Holofernes lieih upon 
the ground without a head. 

19 When q the captains of the Assyrians' army heard 
these words, r they rent their coats, and their minds were 
wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry and a very great 
noise throughout the camp. 

CHAP. XV. 
A ND when they that were in the tents heard, they were 
■**- astonished at the thing that was done. 

2 And a fear and trembling fell upon them, so that there 
was no man that durst abide in the sight, of his neighbour, 
but rushing out all together, they fled into every way of 
the plain, and of the hill-country. 

3 They also that had camped in the mountains round 
about Bethulia fled away. b Then the children of Israel, 
every one that was a warrior among them, rushed out upon 
them. 

4 Then sent c Ozias to Betomasthem, and to Bebai, and 
Chobai, and Cola, and to ail the coasts of Israel, such as 
should tell the things that were done, and that all should 
d rush forth upon their enemies to destroy them. 

5 Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell 
upon them with one consent, and slew them unto c Chobai : 
likewise also they that came from Jerusalem, and from all 
the hill-country, (for men had told them what things were 
done in the camp of their enemies,) and they that were in 
Galaad, and in Galilee, || chased them with a great slaugh- 
ter, until they were passed Damascus and the borders 
thereof. 

6 And the residue, that dwelt in Bethulia, fell upon the 
camp of Assur, f and spoiled them, and were greatly 
enriched.

9 And when they came unto her, they blessed her with

Jerusalem, thou art the great glory of Israel, thou art the 
great rejoicing of our nation : 

10 Thou hast done all these things by thy hand : thou 
hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased there-

11 And the people m spoiled the camp the space of thirty m verse 6. 
days : and they gave unto Judith Holofernes' tent, and all 

his plate, and beds, and vessels, and all his stuff: and she 
took it, and laid it on her mule ; and made ready her carts, 
and laid them thereon. 

12 Then all the women of Israel ran together to see her, 
and blessed her, and made a dance among them for her : 

and she took » branches in her hand, and gave also to the nMat.21,8 
women that were with her. 

13 And they put ° a garland of olive upon her and her 
maid that was with her, and she went before all the people in 
the dance, leading all the women : and all the men of Israel 
followed in their armour with garlands, and with songs in 
their mouths. 

CHAP. XVI. 
a T H 1 HEN Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, 
-"- and all the people sang after her || this song of praise. 

2 And Judith said, Begin unto my God with timbrels, 
sing unto my Lord with cymbals : tune unto him a || new 
psalm : exalt him, and call upon his name. 

3 For God breaketh the battles : for among the camps 
in the midst of the people he hath delivered me out of the 
hands of them that persecuted me. 

4 Assur came out of the mountains from the north, he 
came with ten thousands of his army, the b multitude 
whereof c stopped the torrents, and their horsemen have 
covered the hills. 

5 He bragged that he would burn up my borders, and 
kill my young men with the sword, and dash the sucking 
children against the ground, and make mine infants as a prey, 
and my virgins as a spoil. 

6 But the Almighty d Lord hath disappointed them by the dPs.33.ia 
hand of a woman. 

7 For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, 
neither did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants 
set upon him : but Judith, the daughter cf Merari, weaken- 
ed him with the beauty of her countenance. 

8 For ° she put off the garment of her widowhood for ech. 10,3,4

16 For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savour unto

18 Now as soon as they entered into Jerusalem, they

purified, they offered their burnt-offerings, and their free- 
offerings, and their gifts. 

19 "Judith also dedicated all the stuff of Holofernes, 
which the people had given her, and gave the canopy, 
which she had taken out of his bed-chamber, for a gift unto 
the Lord.

THEN Mardocheus said, a God hath done these things. 
5 For I remember a dream which I saw concerning 
these matters, and nothing thereof hath failed. 

6 b A little fountain became a river, and there was light, 
and the sun, and much water : this river is Esther, whom 
the king married, and made queen. 

7 And the two dragons are I and Aman. 

8 And the nations were those that were assembled to 
destroy the name of the Jews : 

9 And my nation is this Israel, which cried to God, ' and 
were saved : for the Lord hath saved his people, and the 
Lord hath delivered us from all those evils, d and God hath 
wrought signs and great wonders, which have not been 
done among the Gentiles. 

10 Therefore hath he made e two lots, one for the peo- 
ple of God, and another for all the Gentiles. 

1 1 And these two lots came at the hour, and time, and 
day of judgment, before God among all nations. 

12 So God remembered his people, and justified his 
inheritance. 

13 Therefore those days shall be unto them in f the 
month Adar, the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the same 
month, with an assembly, and joy, and with gladness before 
God, according to the generations for ever among his 
people. 

CHAP. XI. 
|"N the fourth year of the reign of Ptolemeus and Cleopa- 
-*• tra, Dositheus, who said he was a priest and Levite, 
and Ptolemeus his son, brought this epistle of Phurim, which 
they said was the same, and that Lysimachus the son of 
Ptolemeus, that was in Jerusalem, had interpreted it. 

2 In the second year of the reign of a Artaxerxes the 
great, in the first day of the month Nisan, b Mardocheus 
the son of Jairus, the son of Semel, the son of Cisai of the 
tribe of Benjamin, c had a dream ; 

3 Who was a Jew, and dwelt in the city of Susa, a great 
man, being a servitor in the king's court. 

4 He was also one of the captives, which Nabuchodono- 
sor the king of Babylon carried from Jerusalem with Je- 
chonias king of Judea ; and this was his dream. 

5 Behold, a noise of a tumult, with thunder, and earth- 
quakes, and uproar in the land : 

6 And behold, d two great dragons came forth ready to 
fight, and their cry was great. 



ePs. 118, 
20. 

Isa. 26, 2. 
( Joel 2,2. 



h ch. 10. a. 



7 And at their cry all nations were prepared to battle, 
that they might fight against e the righteous people. 

8 And lo, a day of f darkness and obscurity, tribulation 
and anguish, affliction and great uproar, upon the earth. 

9 And the whole righteous nation was troubled, fearing 
their own evils, and were ready to perish. 

10 Then they cried unto God, and upon their cry, B a9 gch. 10,6. 
it were from a little fountain, was made a great flood, even 

much water. 

1 1 h The light and the sun rose up, and the lowly were 
exalted, and devoured the glorious. 

12 Now when Mardocheus, who had seen this dream, 
and what God had determined to do, was awake, he bare 
this dream in mind, and until night by all means was de- 
sirous to know it. 

CHAP. XII. 
A ND Mardocheus took his rest in the court a with Gabatha 
■f* - and Tharra, the two eunuchs of the king, and keepers 
of the palace. 

2 b And he heard their devices, and searched out their 
purposes, and learned that they were about to lay hands upon 
Artaxerxes the king ; and so he certified the king of them. 

3 Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and after 
that they had confessed it, c they were strangled. 

4 And the king made a record of these things, and Mar- 
docheus also wrote thereof. 

5 So the king commanded Mardocheus to serve in the 
court, d and for this he rewarded him. 

6 Howbeit e Aman the son of Amadathus the Agagite, 
who was in great honour with the king, sought to molest 
Mardocheus and his people because of the two eunuchs of 
the king. 

CHAP. XIII. 
f 1 1 HE copy of the letters was this : The great king Ar- 
-*- taxerxes writeth these things to the princes and go- 
jvernors that are under him from a India unto Ethiopia, in 
a hundred and seven and twenty provinces. 

2 After that I became lord b over many nations, and had 
dominion over the whole world, not lifted up with pre- 
sumption of my authority, but carrying myself always with 
equity and mildness, I purposed to settle my subjects con- 
tinually in a quiet life, and making my kingdom || peaceable, 
and open for passage to the utmost coasts, to renew peace 
which is desired of all men.

3 Now when I asked my counsellors how this might be 
brought to pass, c Aman, that excelled in wisdom among us, 
and was approved for his constant good will and steadfast 

d Esth. 3, 1. fidelity, d and had the honour of the second place in the 
kingdom, 

4 Declared unto us, that in all nations throughout the 
« Esth. 3, 8. world there was scattered ' a certain malicious people, that 

had laws contrary to all nations, and continually despised 
the commandments of kings, so as the uniting of our king- 

|Or, It set- doms, honourably intended by us, cannot |) go forward. 

W& 5 Seeing then we understand that this people alone is con- 

tinually in opposition unto all men, differing in the strange 

f Pa 120,3. manner of their laws, and evil-affected to our state, f work- 
ing all the mischief they can, that our kingdom may not be 
firmly established : 

6 Therefore have we commanded, that all they that are 
signified in writing unto you by Aman, who is ordained over 

tOr.jecomf the affairs, and is || next unto us, shall all with their wives 
and children be utterly destroyed by the sword of their 
enemies, without all mercy and pity, the fourteenth day of 

gEsth. 9,21. the twelfth month e Adar of this present year: 

7 That they who of old and now also are malicious, may 
in one day with violence go into the grave, and so ever 
hereafter cause our affairs to be well settled, and without 
trouble. 

8 Then Mardocheus h thought upon all the works of the 
Lord, and made his prayer unto him, 

9 Saying, O Lord, Lord, the King Almighty : for the 
rOan. 4, 35. whole world ' is in thy power, and if thou hast appointed to 

save Israel, there is no man that can gainsay thee : 

10 For thou hast made heaven and earth, and all the won- 
drous things under the heaven. 

1 1 Thou art Lord of all things, and there is no man that 
can resist thee, which art the Lord. 

12 Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest, Lord, 
k that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any de- 
hire of glory, that I did not bow down to proud Aman. 

13 For ' I could have been content with good will for 
3, 2, 3. & 10, tjj e sa i va ti on f Israel to kiss the soles of his feet. 

14 But I did this, that 1 might not prefer the glory of 
man above the glory of God : neither will I worship any 
but thee, O God, neither will I do it in pride. 

15" And now, O Lord God and King, m spare thy people : 
for their eyes are upon us to bring us to nought ; yea, they 
desire to destroy the inheritance, that hath been thine from 
the beginning. 

16 Despise not n the portion which thou hast delivered 
out of Egypt for thine own self. 

17 Hear my prayer, and be merciful unto thine inherit- 
ance : turn our sorrow into joy, that we may live, O Lord, 
° and praise thy name : and || destroy not the mouths of 
them that praise thee, O Lord. 

18 All Israel in like manner cried most t earnestly unto 
the Lord, because their death was before their eyes.

unto the Lord : 

2 b And laid away her glorious apparel, and put on the 
garments of anguish and mourning: and instead of precious 
ointments, she covered her head with ashes and dung, and 
she humbled her body greatly, and all the places of her joy 
she filled with her torn hair. 

3 And "she prayed unto the Lord God of Israel, saying, 
O my Lord, thou only art our King: help me, desolate 
woman, which have no helper but thee : 

4 J For my danger is in my hand. 

5 e From my youth up I have heard in the tribe of my 
family, that thou, O Lord, tookest Israel from among all 
people, and our fathers from all their predecessors, for a 
perpetual inheritance, and thou hast performed whatsoever 
thou didst promise them. 

6 And now we have sinned before thee : therefore hast 
thou given us into the hands of our enemies,

12 But he, not bearing his great dignity, went about to 
deprive us of our kingdom and life : 

13 f Having by manifold and cunning deceits sought of 
us the destruction as well of Mardocbeus, who saved our 
life, and continually procured our good, as also of blameless 
Esther, partaker of our kingdom, with their whole nation. 

14 For by these means he thought, finding us destitute 
of friends, to have translated the kingdom of the Persians 
to the Macedonians. 

15 But we find that the Jews, whom this wicked wretch 
hath delivered to utter destruction, s are no evil-doers, but 
live by most just laws : 

16 And that they be children of the most high and most

unto us and to our progenitors in the most excellent manner.

18 For he, that was the worker of these things, 'is

day wherein the chosen people should have perished. 

22 Ye shall therefore among your solemn feasts keep it 
a high day with all feasting : 

23 That both now and hereafter there may be safety to 
us, and the well-affected Persians ; ra but to those which do 
conspire against us, a memorial of destruction. 

24 * Therefore every city and country whatsoever, which 
shall not do according to these things, shall be destroyed

-^-* think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in sim- 
plicity of heart seek him. 

2 For he will be found of them b that tempt him not ; 
and sheweth himself unto such as do not ' distrust him. 
* 3 For froward thoughts separate from God : and his 
power, when it is tried, || reproveth the unwise. 

4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter ; nor 
dwell in the body that is subject unto sin. 

& d For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and 
remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and 
|| will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in. 

6 For wisdom is a e loving spirit \ and will not acquit a 
blasphemer of his [| words : for God is witness of his reins, 
and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. 

7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world : and that 
which || containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice. 

8 Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things ' can- 
not be hid : neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, 
pass by him. 

9 For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the 
ungodly : and the sound of his words shall come unto the 
Lord for the jj manifestation of his wicked deeds. 

10 For the ear of jealousy heareth all things : and the 
noise of murmurings is not hid. 



1 1 Therefore beware of s murmuring, which is un- g l Coi. 10; 
profitable ; and refrain your tongue from backbiting : for 10 - 
there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought : and 

the mouth that | belieth, slayeth the soul. \ Or.jfan-

4 Because, being e ministers of his kingdom, ye have not c Rom. 13,

5 d Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you : for a d Rev. 1, 7.

12 Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away : yea, 

she is easily seen of them that love her, h and found of such hMat 7, 7, 
as seek her. 

13 She preventeth them that desire her, in making 
herself first known unto them. 

1 4 Whoso seeketh her ' early shall have no great travail : iProv.8,17 
for he shall find her sitting at his doors. 

1 5 To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom : 
and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care. 

\G For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of 
her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, 
and meeteth them in every thought. 

17 For the very true beginning of her is the desire of 

|| discipline ; and the ci*re of discipline is love : ||Or, nur~ 

1 8 k And love is the keeping of her laws ; and the giving '«»■«• 
heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption ; 8 10 m ' ' 

19 And incorruption maketh us near unto God : 

20 Therefore ' the desire of wisdom bringeth to a 1 ch. 5, 16. 
kingdom. 

21 If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye 
kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye ma}' reign for 
evermore. 

22 As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, 

m I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you : but m P«. 7fl,2 
will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and 
bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass 
over the truth. 

23 Neither will I go with consuming envy ; for such a 
man shall have no fellowship with wisdom. 

24 But D the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the nlsa, 6,13. 
world : and a wise king is the upholding of the people.

2 And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in 
bJoblo.io. the time of ten months, b being compacted in blood, of the 

seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep. 

3 And when 1 was born, I drew in the common air, and 
fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first 
voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do. 

4 I was nursed in c swaddling-clothes, and that with cares.

«_l Kings3, 7 e Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given 

me : I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came 
to me. 

8 I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and 
esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her. 

9 Neither compared I unto her any t precious stone, 
because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and 
silver shall be counted as clay before her. 

10 I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to 
have her instead of light : for the light that cometh from 
her never goeth out. 

11 ' All good things together came to me with her, and 
innumerable riches in her hands. 

12 And I rejoiced in them Stl, because wisdom goeth 
before them : and I knew not that she was the mother of 
them. 

13 I learned t diligently, and do communicate her | libe-

made, and the operation of the elements :

22 For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught 
me : for in her is an understanding spirit, holy, t one only, 
manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject 
to hurt, loving the thing that is good, quick, which cannot 
be letted, ready to do good, 

23 m Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, havins;

pureness. 

25 For she is the || breath of the power of God, and a 
pure || influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty : 
therefore can no defiled thing fall into her. 

26 For she is the "brightness of the everlasting light, 
the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and "the image 
of his goodness. 

27 And being but one, she can do all things : and remain-

that offend, and warnest them by putting them in remem- 
brance wherein they have offended, that leaving their 
wickedness they may believe on thee, O Lord. 

3 For it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our 
fathers both those || old inhabitants of thy holy land, 

4 Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of 
|| witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices ; 

5 And also those 'merciless murderers of children, and 
devourers of man's flesh, and the feasts of blood, 

6 With their priests out of the midst of their idolatrous 
crew, and the parents that killed with their own hands 
souls destitute of help : 

7 That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, 
might receive a worthy || colony of God's children.

9 e Not that thou wast unable to bring the ungodly under 
the hand of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at 
once with cruel beasts, or with one rough word : 

10 But executing thy judgments upon them by little, 
and little, ' thou gavest them place of repentance, not being 
ignorant that they were a naughty generation, and that 
their malice was bred in them, and that their cogitation 
would never be changed. 

11 For it was a e cursed seed from the beginning ; nei- 
ther didst thou for fear of any man give them pardon for 
those things wherein they sinned. 

12 For who shall say, h What hast thou done? or who 
shall withstand thy judgment? or who shall accuse thee for 
the nations that perish, whom thou hast made ? or who sha'l 
come to stand || against thee, to be || revenged for the un- 
righteous men ? 

13 For neither is there any God but thou that ' careth 
for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy judgment is 
not unright. 

14 k Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his face 
against thee for any of whom thou hast punished. 

15 Forsomuch then as thou art righteous thyself, thou 
orderest all things righteously : ' thinking it not agreeable 
with thy power to condemn him that hath not deserved to 
be punished. 

16 For thy power is the beginning of righteousness, and 
because thou art the I-^rd of all, " it maketh thee to be 
gracious unto all. 



Apocrypha. 

17 For when men will not believe that thou art of a 

|| full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them fl°' , ,J>"- 
that know it thou makest their boldness manifest. f ect 

18 But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with equity, 

and orderest us with great favour : "for thou mayest use nJob34,io. 
power when thou wilt. 

1 9 But by such works hast thou taught thy people that 

the just man should be ' merciful, and hast made thy chil- oMat 5, 7. 

dren to be of a good hope that thou givest repentance for 

sins. 

20 For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy children, 
and the condemned to death, with such deliberation, givin» 
them time and place, whereby they might be delivered 
from their malice : 

21 With how great circumspection didst thou judge thine 

own sons, p unto whose fathers thou hast sworn, and made pPs. 105,8, 
covenants of good promises ? 8 ' 10 

22 Therefore, q whereas thou dost chasten us, thou q Prov. 3, 
scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent n * 12- 
that, when we judge we should carefully think of thy good- 
ness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look 

for mercy. 

23 Wherefore, whereas men have lived dissolutely and 
unrighteously, thou hast tormented them with their own 

|| abominations. |j Or, abom- 

24 r For they went astray very far in the ways of error, "'^n'^ii' 
and held them for gods, which even among the beasts of Rom. 1, ',23k 
their enemies were despised, being deceived, as children 

of no understanding. 

25 Therefore unto them, as to children without the use 

of reason, thou didst send a judgment to s mock them. sProv.1,26. 

26 But they that would not be reformed by that correc- 
tion, wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a 'judgment tRom. 2, 2. 
worthy of God. 

27 For, look, for what things they grudged, when they 
were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be 
gods ; [now] being punished in them, when they saw it, 
they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before 
they denied " to know ; and therefore came extreme dam- 
nation upon them. 

CHAP. XIII. 
^URELY vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant 
^ of God, and * could not out of the good things that are 
seen know him that is : neither, by considering the works, 
did they acknowledge the work-master ; 

2 b But deemed either fire, or wind, or the swift air, or 
the circle of the stars, or the violent water, or c the lights 
of heaven, to be the gods which govern the world. 

3 With whose beauty if they d being delighted took 
them to be gods ; let them know how much better the 
Lord of them is : for the first author of beauty hath 
created them. 

4 But if they were astonished at their power and virtue, 
let them understand by them, how much mightier he is 
that made them. 

5 For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures, 
proportionally the maker of them c is seen. 

6 But yet for this the}' are the less to be blamed : for 
they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to find 
him. 

7 For being ' conversant in his works, they | search Mm f See Rom. 
diligently, and believe their sight : because the things are .'^^ 
beautiful that are seen. 

8 Howbeit, ■ neither are they to be pardoned. s Rom. l, 

9 For if they were able to know so much, that they -" 
could aim at the world ; how did they not sooner find out 
the Lord thereof?

man's life ; 

12 And after spending the |j refuse of his work to dress 
his meat, hath filled himself; 

13 And taking the very refuse among those which served 
to no use, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, 
hath carved it diligently, when he had nothing else to do, 
1 and formed it by the skill of his understanding, and 
fashioned it to the image of a man ; 

14 Or made it like some m vile beast, laying it over with 
vermilion, and with paint colouring it red, and covering 
every spot therein ; 

1 5 And when he had made a convenient room for it, set 
it in a wall, and made it fast with iron : 

16 For he provided for it that it might D not fall, know 
ing that it was unable to help itself ; for it is an image, and 
hath need of help

and children, and is not ashamed to speak to that ° which

seecheth f that p which hath least means to help : and for 
a good journey, he asketh of that which cannot set a foot 
forward : 

19 And for gaining and getting, and for good success of 
his hands, asketh ability to do, of him that is most unable 
to do any thing. 

CHAP. XIV 

AGAIN, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass 
through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of 
wood, more rotten than the || vessel that carrieth him. 

2 For verily desire of gain devised || that, and the work- 
man built it by his skill. 

3 But thy providence, O Father, governeth it : for thou 
hast a made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves ; 

4 Shewing that thou canst save from all danger : b yea 
though a man went to sea without art. 

5 Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy 
wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their 
lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in 
a weak vessel are saved. 

6 c For in the old time also, when the proud giants 
perished, the hope of the world, governed by thy hand, 
d escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of 
generation. 

7 For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness cometh. 

8 But e that which is made with hands is cursed, as well 
it, as he that made it : he, because he made it ; and it, 
because being corruptible, it was called God. 

9 r For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike 
hateful unto God. 

10 For g that which is made shall be punished together 
with him that made it. 

11 Therefore even |j upon the idols of the Gentiles shall 
there be a visitation : because in the creature of God they 
are become an abomination, and h t stumbling-blocks to the 
souls of men, and a || snare to the feet of the unwise. 

12 For the devising of idols was the beginning of 
tpiri'tual fornication, and the invention of them the cor- 
ruption of life. 

13 For neither were they from 'the beginning, neither 
shall they be for ever. 

14 For by the vain-glory of men they entered into the 
world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.

20 And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the 
work, took him now for a god, which a little before was 
but honoured as a man.

22 Moreover, this was not enough for them, that they ? \c ,„ 
erred in the knowledge of God ; but whereas they lived in 

the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called 
they peace. 

23 For whilst they p slew their children in sacrifices, or P Deut ™< 
used secret ceremonies, or made revellings of strange ™ r 794 
rites; !9,4.'* 

24 They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer 
undefiled : but either one slew another traitorously, or 
grieved him by adultery.

q blood, manslaughter, theft, and dissimulation, corruption, qT^m^ 44. 
unfaithfulness, tumults, perjury,

defiling of souls, changing of || kind, disorder in marriages, D 0r « «*- 
adultery, and shameless uncleanness. 

27 For the worshipping of idols t not to be named is 
r the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil. 

28 For either they are mad when they be merry, or 
prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear 
themselves. 

29 For insomuch as their trust is in idols ' which have * ch. 13, to. 
no life ; though they swear falsely, yet they look not to 

be hurt. 

30 Howbeit, for both causes shall they be justly punish- 
ed : both because they thought not well of God, || giving 
heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, ' despising 
holiness. 

31 For it is not the power of them by whom they 
swear : but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punish- 
eth always the offence of the ungodly. 

CHAP. XV. 
T>UT * thou, O God, art gracious and true, long-suffering, 
-*-* and in mercy ordering all things. 

2 For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy power : k hut bGen.39,9. 
we will not sin, knowing that we are "counted thine. 

3 For to know thee is perfect righteousness : yea, to 
know thy power is the root of immortality. 

4 For neither did the mischievous invention of men de- 
ceive us, nor an image spotted with divers colours, the 
painter's fruitless labour ; 

5 The sight whereof || enticeth fools to lust after it, and 
so they desire the form of a dead image, that hath no breath.

turneth to the same, out of the which he was taken, when 
his e life which was lent him shall be demanded. 

9 Notwithstanding his care is, not that he shall || have 
much labour, nor that his life is short : but striveth to ex- 
cel goldsmiths and silversmiths, and endeavoureth to do 
like the workers in brass, and counteth it his glory to make 
counterfeit things. 

10 His heart is ashes, h his hope is more vile than earth, 
and his life of less value than clay : 

11 Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him that 
inspired into him an active soul, ' and breathed in a living 
spirit. 

12 But they counted our life a pastime, and our || time 
here a market for gain : for, say they, we must be getting 
every way, though it be by evil means. 

13 || For this man, that of earthly matter maketh k brittle 
vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above 
all others. 

14 And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in 
subjection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than 
very babes. 

15 For they counted all the idols of the heathen to be 
gods : which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses 
to draw || breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to 
handle ; and as for their feet, they are slow to go. 

18 For ' man made them, and he that borrowed his own 
spirit fashioned them : but no man can make a god like 
unto himself. 

17 For being mortal, he worketh m a dead thing with 
wicked hands : for he himself is better than the things 
which he worshippeth : whereas he lived once, but they 
never. 

18 Yea, they worshipped those "beasts also that are 
most hateful : for being compared together, some are worse 
than others. 

19 Neither are they beautiful, so much as to be desired 
in respect of beasts : but they went without the praise of 
God and his blessing. 

CHAP. XVI. 
■ rp HEREFORE by the like were they punished worthily, 
-*- and by the multitude of beasts b tormented. 

2 Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with 
thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat of a 
strange taste, even ' quails to stir up their appetite : 

3 To the end that they, desiring food, might, d for the 
ugly sight of the beasts sent among them, loathe even that 
which they must needs desire ; but these, suffering penury 
for a short space, might be made partakers of a strange taste. 

4 For it was requisite, that upon them exercising 
tyranny should come penury, which they could not avoid : 
but to these it should only be shewed how their enemies 
were tormented. 

5 For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon 
|| these, and they perished with the e stings of crooked 
serpents, thy wrath endured not for ever : 

6 But they were troubled for a small season, that they 
might be admonished, having a f sign of salvation, to put 
them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law. 

7 For he that turned himself toward it was not saved 
by the thing that he saw, but by thee, r that art the Saviour 
of all. 

8 And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it 
is thou who deliverest from all evil : 

9 For h them the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, 
neither was there found any remedy for their life : for they 
were worthy to be punished by such. 

10 But thy sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons 
overcame : for thy mercy was ever by them, i and healed 
them. 

11 For they were t pricked, that they should remember 
thy words : and were quickly saved, that not falling into 
deep forgetfulness, they might be || continually mindful of 
thy goodness.

12 For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster that 
restored them to health : but thy word, O Lord, which 
healeth all things. 

13 For thou hast power of life and death : thou k leadest k Dent. 32, 
to the gates of hell, and bringest up again. 

14 A man indeed killeth through his malice : and the 
spirit, when it is gone forth, returneth not ; l neither the 
soul received up cometh again. 

15 But it is not possible to escape thy hand. 

16 m For the ungodly, that denied to know thee, were 
scourged by the strength of thine arm : with strange rains, 
hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could 
not avoid ; and through fire were they consumed. 

17 For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had 
more force in the water, that quencheth all things : for the 
world "fighteth for the righteous. 

18 For some time the flame was mitigated, that it might |°- 
not burn up "the beasts that were sent against the ungodly ; 
but themselves might see and perceive that they were 
persecuted with the judgment of God. 

19 And at another time it burneth even in the midst of 
water above the power of fire, that it might destroy the 
fruits of an unjust land. 

20 p Instead whereof thou feddest thine own people with 
angels' food, and didst send them from heaven bread pre- 
pared without their labour, able to content every man's 
delight, and agreeing to every taste. 

21 For thy q || sustenance declared thy sweetness unto qJudg.6,4. 
thy children, and serving to the appetite of the eater, 
|| tempered itself to every man's liking. 

22 r But snow and ice endured the fire, and melted not, 
that they might know that fire burning in the hail, and 
sparkling in the rain, did destroy the fruits of the enemies. 

23 But this again did even forget his own strength, that 
8 the righteous might be nourished. 

24 For the creature that serveth thee, who art the 
Maker, increaseth his strength against the unrighteous for 
their punishment, and abateth his strength for the benefit 
of such as put their trust in thee. 

25 Therefore even then was it altered into all || fashions, 
and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all things, 
according to the desire || of them that had need : 

26 That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might 
know, that ' it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth 
man : but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that Mat. 4, 4. 
put their trust in thee. 

27 For that which was not destroyed of the fire, "being uEx. 16,21 
warmed with a little sun-beam, soon melted away : 

28 That it might be known, "that we must prevent the 
sun to give thee thanks, and at the day-spring pray unto 
thee. 

29 For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as 
the winter's hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable 
water. 

CHAP. XVII.

12 For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the suc- 
cours which reason offereth. 

13 And the expectation from within, being less, counteth 
the ignorance more than the cause which bringeth the 
torment. 

14 But they sleeping the same sleep that night, || which 
was indeed intolerable, and which came upon them out of 
the bottoms of inevitable hell, 

15 Were partly vexed with h monstrous apparitions, and 
partly fainted, ' their heart failing them : for a sudden fear, 
and not looked for, came upon them. 

16 So then whosoever there fell down was straitly kept, 
shut up in a prison without iron bars. 

17 For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, or a 
H Or, desert, labourer in the || field, he was overtaken, and endured that 

necessity, which could not be avoided : for they were all 
k 2 Pet. 2,4. bound with k one chain of darkness. 

18 Whether it were a whistling wind, or a melodious 
noise of birds among the spreading branches, or a pleasing 
fall of water running violently, 

19 Or a || terrible sound of stones cast down, or a running 
that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of 
1 most savage wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the hol- 

n ver. 3, 4. l w mountains ; m these things made them to swoon for fear. 

. o q in ' o 

20 For the whole world shined with clear light, and 
none were hindered in their labour : 

21 Over them only was spread "a heavy night, an image 
of that darkness which should afterward receive them : but 
yet were they unto themselves more grievous than the 
darkness.

saints should be alike partakers of the same good and evil, 
the fathers now singing out the songs of praise. 

10 But on the other side there sounded an ill-according 

cry of the enemies, 'and a lamentable noise was carried 1 Ex. 12,30. 
abroad for children that were bewailed. 

11 m The master and the servant were punished after m Ex. n, 5. 
one manner ; and like as the king, so suffered the common & 12 ' " 
person. 

12 So they all together " had innumerable dead with one nEx. 12,30. 
kind of death ; neither were the living sufficient to bury 

them : for in one moment the noblest offspring of them 
was destroyed. 

13 For whereas they would not believe any thing by 
reason of ° the enchantments ; upon the destruction of the ° Ex. 7, 11 
first-born, they acknowledged this people to be the sons 

of God. 

14 For while all things were in quiet silence, and that 
night was in the midst of her swift course, 

15 Thine Almighty word leaped down from heaven out 

of thy royal throne, as a fierce p man of war into the midst p Ex. 15, 3 
of a land of destruction, 

16 And brought thine unfeigned commandment as a 
sharp sword, and standing up filled all things with death ; 
and it touched the heaven, but it stood upon the earth. 

17 q Then suddenly || visions of horrible dreams troubled q ch. 17, 3, 
them sore, and terrors came upon them unlooked for. i- Q . 

18 And one thrown here, and another there, half dead, natiom 
shewed the cause of his death. 

1 9 For the dreams that troubled them did r foreshew 
this, lest they should perish, and not know why they were 
afflicted. 

20 Yea, the tasting of death touched the righteous also, 
and there was a destruction of the 8 multitude in the wil- 
derness : but l the wrath endured not long. 

21 For then the blameless man made haste, and stood 
forth to defend them ; and bringing the shield of his proper 
ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set 
himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to 
an end, declaring that he was thy servant. 

22 So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of 
body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued he him 

that punished, u alleging the oaths and covenants made with uPs. 105,8, 
the fathers. ' Rom'9 4 

23 For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps 
one upon another, x standing between, he stayed the wrath, 
and || parted the way to the living. 

24 r For in the long garment was the whole world, and 
in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers 
graven, and thy Majesty upon the diadem of his head. 

25 Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid 

of them : for it was enough that they only tasted of z the z verse 20. 
wrath.

3 For whilst they were c yet mourning and making cEx. 12,30.

|| contentment. 

13 And punishments came upon the sinners, not without 
former signs by the force of thunders : for they suffered 
justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they 
used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.

IF The Wisdom of JESUS the Son of SIRACH/ 

OR, 

ECCLESIASTICUS. 

A Prologue made by an uncertain Author. 

nriHIS Jesus was the son of Sirach, and grandchild to Jesus of the same name with him : this man therefore lived in 
-*- the latter times, after the people had been led away captive, and called home again, and almost after all the pro- 
phets. Now his grandfather Jesus, as he himself witnesseth, was a man of great diligence and wisdom among the He- 
brews, who did not only gather the grave and short sentences of wise men, that had been before him, but himself also 
uttered some of his own, full of much understanding and wisdom. When as therefore the first Jesus died, leaving this 
book almost |j perfected, Sirach his son receiving it after him, left it to his own son Jesus, who having gotten it into his 
hands, compiled it all orderly into one volume, and called it Wisdom, entitling it both by his own name, his father's 
name, and his grandfather's ; alluring the hearer by the very name of Wisdom, to have a greater love to the study of this 
book. It containeth therefore wise sayings, dark sentences, and parables, and certain particular ancient godly stories of 
men that pleased God ; also his prayer and song ; moreover, what benefits God had vouchsafed his people, and what 
plagues he had heaped upon their enemies. This Jesus did imitate Solomon, and was no less famous for wisdom and 
learning, both being indeed a man of great learning, and so reputed also. 

The Prologue of the Wisdom of JESUS, the son of SIRACH. 

"l\f HEREAS many and great things have been delivered unto us by the law and the prophets, and by others that have 
' * followed their steps, for the which things Israel ought to be commended for learning and wisdom ; and whereof 
not only the readers must needs become skilful themselves, but also they that desire to learn be able to profit them 
which are || without, both by speaking and writing: my grandfather Jesus, when he had much given himself to the 
reading of the law, and the prophets, and other books of our fathers, and had gotten therein good judgment, was drawn 
on also himself to write something pertaining to learning and wisdom ; to the intent that those which are desirous to 
learn, and are addicted to these things, might profit much more in living according to the law. Wherefore let me 
entreat you to read it with fivour and attention, and to pardon us, wherein we may seem to come short of some words 
which we have laboured to interpret. For the same things uttered in Hebrew, and translated into another tongue, have 
not the same force in them: and not only these things, but the law itself, and the t prophets, and the rest of the books, 
have no small || difference, when they arc spoken in their own language. For in the eight and thirtieth year coming 
into Egypt, when Euergetes was king, and continuing there some time, I found a || book of no small learning : therefore 
I thought it most necessary for me to bestow some diligence and travail to interpret it ; using great watchfulness and 
skill in that space to bring the book to an end, and set it forth for them also, which in a strange country are willing to 
learn, being prepared before in manners to live after the law.

Before made manifest? and who hath understood her great ex- 
perience ?] 

8 There is e one wist- and greatly to be feared, the Lord 
sitting upon his throne. 

9 He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, and 
poured her out upon all his works. 

10 She is with all flesh according to his gift, f and he 
hath given her to them that love him. 

11 The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory, and glad- 
ness, and a crown of rejoicing. 

12 The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and 
giveth joy, and gladness, and a long life. 

13 Whoso feareth the Lord, it shall go well with him at 
the last, and he || shall find favour in the day of his death. 

14 s To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom : and 
it was created with the faithful in the womb. 

15 She hath built an everlasting foundation with men, 
and she shall continue b with their seed. 

16 To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and filleth 
men with her fruits. 

17 She filleth all their house with things desirable, and 
the garners with her increase. 

18 The fear of the Lord is j a crown of wisdom, making 
peace and perfect health to flourish ; both which are the 
gifts of God : and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love him. 

19 Wisdom raineth down skill and knowledge of under- 
standing, and exalteth them to honour that hold her fast. 

20 The root of wisdom is k to fear the Lord, and the 
branches thereof are long life. 

21 The fear of the Lord driveth away sins : and where 
it is present, it turneth away wrath. 

22 A furious man cannot || be justified ; for the sway of 
his fury shall be his destruction. 

23 ' A patient man will bear for a time, and afterward 
joy shall spring up unto him. 

24 He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of 
many shall declare his wisdom. 

25 The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of 
wisdom : but godliness is an abomination to a sinner. 

26 If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, 
m James 1, m and the Lord shall give her unto thee. 
"■ 27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction : 

and faith and meekness are his delight. 

28 || Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art 
poor : and come not unto him with a double heart. 

29 Be not a hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good 
heed what thou speakest. 

30 Exalt not thyself, n lest thou fall, and bring dishonour 
upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast 
thee down in the midst of the congregation, because thou 
earnest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart 
is full of deceit. 

CHAP. II. 
Y son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy 
soul a for temptation. 

2 Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and || make 
not haste in time of trouble. 

3 Cleave unto him, and depart not away, b that thou 
mayest be increased at thy last end. 

4 Whatsoever is brought upon thee, take cheerfully, 
and be patient when thou art changed to a low estate. 

5 ° For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in 
Prov. 17, 3. the furnace of adversity. 

6 Believe in him, and he will help thee 
a Pa. 37, 3. aright, d and trust in him. 

7 Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy ; and go not 
aside, lest ye fall. - 

8 Ye that fear the Lord, believe him ; and your reward 
shall not fail.

10 Glory not in the dishonour of thy father ; for tny 
father's dishonour is no glory unto thee. 

1 1 s For the glory of a man is from the honour of his gGen.9,23.

thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm lt- 22,

1 6 He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer ; and 
he that angereth his mother is cursed of God.

2 Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk

3 And say not, b Who shall control me for my works ? for b Ex. 5, 2. 
the Lord will surely revenge thy pride. 

4 Say not, I have sinned, c and what harm hath happened c Eccles. 8,

5 Concerning propitiation, d be not without fear to add d ch. 21, l.

8 s Set not thy heart upon goods unjustly gotten : for

1 1 But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will 
be bold over thy servants. 

12 If thou be brought low, d he will be against thee, and 
will hide himself from thy face. 

13 Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed 
of thy friends. 

14 A faithful friend is a strong defence : and he that hath 
found such a one hath found a treasure. 

15 Nothing doth countervail a faithful friend, and his 
excellency is invaluable. 

16 A faithful friend is the medi:ine of life ; and e they 
that fear the Lord shall find him. 

17 Whoso feareth the Lord shall direct his friendship 
aright : for as he is, so shall his neighbour be also. 

18 My son, gather instruction from thy youth up : so 
shalt thou find wisdom till thine old age. 

1 9 Come unto her as one that ploweth and soweth, f and 
wait far her good fruits : for thou shalt not toil much in 
labouring about her, but thou shalt eat of her fruits right 
soon. 

20 She is very unpleasant to the unlearned : he that is 
without || understanding will not remain with her. 

21 She will lie upon him as a s mighty stone of trial ; 
•»- and he will cast her from him ere it be long. 

22 For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not 
manifest unto many. 

23 Give ear, my son, receive mine advice, and refuse not 
hKer. 3,18. h my counsel, 

24 And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into 
g Or, collar, her || chain. 

25 Bow ■ down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not 
grieved with her bonds. 

26 Come unto her with thy whole heart, and keep her 
ways with all thy power. 

27 k Search, and seek, and she shall be made known 
unto thee : and when thou hast got hold of her, let her 
not go. 

28 For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall 
be turned to thy joy. 

29 Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, 
and her chains a robe of glory. 

30 For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her 
bands are || purple lace. 

31 Thou shalt put her on as a robe of honour, and shalt 
put her about thee as a crown of joy. 

32 My son, ' if thou wilt, thou shalt be taught : and if 
thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be prudent. 

33 If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding : 
and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise. 

34 Stand in the multitude of the m elders ; and cleave 
unto him that is wise. 

35 Be willing to hear every godly discourse ; and let not 
the " parables of understanding escape thee. 

36 And if thou seest a man of understanding, get thee 
betimes unto him, and let thy foot wear the steps of his 
door. 

37 Let thy mind be upon the ordinances of the Lord, 
and ° meditate continually in his commandments : he shall 
establish thy heart, and give thee wisdom at thine own 
desire. 

CHAP. VII.

4 Seeic not of the Lord pre-eminence 
king the seat of honour. 

5 c Justify not thyself before the Lord ; and boast not of 
thy wisdom before the king. 

6 Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away ini- 
quity ; lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, 
and lay a stumbling-block in the way of thine uprightness.

29 Fear the Lord with all thy soul, and reverence his

31 Fear the Lord, and honour the priest ; and give him

the trespass-offering, and the gift of the shoulders, and the 
sacrifice of sanctification, and the first-fruits of the holy

7 e Rejoice not over thy greatest enemy being dead, but

8 Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint

9 e Miss not the discourse of the elders : for they also

1 4 As near as thou canst, guess at thy neighbour, and 
B consult with the wise. 

15 Let thy talk be with the wise, and all thy communi- 
cation in the law of the Most High. 

16 And let just men eat and drink with thee : and let thy 
glorying be in the fear of the Lord. 

17 For the hand of the artificer the work shall be com- 
mended : and the wise ruler of the people for his speech. 

18 h A man of an ill tongue is dangerous in his city ; and h Jam«s 3, 
he that is rash in his talk shall be hated. 2 

CHAP. X. 
A WISE judge will instruct his people ; and the govern- 
-£*- ment of a prudent man is well ordered. 

2 a As the judge of the people is himself, so are his offi- 
cers ; and what manner of man the ruler of the city is, 
such are all they that dwell therein. 

3 An unwise king destroyeth his people ; but through 
the prudence of them which are in authority, the city shall 
be inhabited. 

'4 b The power of the earth is in the hand of the Lord, 
and in due time he will set over it one that is profitable. 

5 In the hand of God is the prosperity of man : and 
upon the j| person of the scribe shall he lay his honour. 

6 c Bear not hatred to thy neighbour for every wrong ; 
and do nothing at all by injurious practices. 

7 d Pride is hateful before God and man : and by both d Prov - 3 
doth one commit iniquity. 

8 Because of unrighteous dealings, injuries, and riches 
got by deceit, the kingdom is translated from one people to 
another. 

9 e Why is earth and ashes proud ? There is not a 
more wicked thing than a covetous man : for such a one 
setteth his own soul to sale ; because while he liveth, he 
casteth away his bowels. 

10 The physician cutteth off a long disease ; and he that 
is to-day a king, to-morrow shall die. 

11 For when a man is dead, f he shall inherit creeping flsa 14, ll 
things, beasts, and worms. 

12 The beginning of pride is when one departeth from 
God, and his heart is turned away from his Maker. 

13 For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it 
shall pour out abomination : and therefore the Lord brought 
upon them strange calamities, and overthrew them utterly. 

14 e The Lord hath cast down the thrones of proud gPs.75, 7. 
princes, and set up the meek in their stead. Dun. 2, 21. 

15 The Lord hath plucked up the roots of the proud 
nations, and planted the lowly in their place. 

16 h The Lord overthrew countries of the heathen, and h Gen. 19, 
destroyed them to the foundations of the earth. 24 > 25 - 

1 7 He took some of them away, and destroyed them, 
and hath made their memorial to cease from the earth. 

18 Pride was not made for men, nor furious anger for 
them that are born of a woman. 

19 They that fear the Lord are a sure seed, and they 
that love him ' an honourable plant: they that regard not 
the law are a dishonourable seed ; they that transgress the 
commandments are a || deceivable seed. 

20 Among brethren he that is chief is honourable ; k so 
are they that fear the Lord, in his eyes.. 

21 The fear of the Lord goeth before |j the obtaining of 
authority : but roughness and pride is the losing thereof. 

22 Whether he be rich, noble, or poor, their glory is 
the fear of the Lord. 

23 ' It is not meet to despise the poor man that hath under- 
standing; neither is it convenient to magnify a sinful man. 

24 m Great men, and judges, and potentates, shall be 
honoured ; yet is there none of them greater than he that 
feareth the Lord. 

25 D Unto the servant that is wise shall they that are free » ^™ ". 
do service: and he that hath knowledge "will not grudge o2 SmLli 
when lie is reformed. '3.

escape by fleeing. 

II 6 There is one that laboureth, and taketh pains, and 
maketh haste, and i3 so much the more behind. 

12 Again, there is another that is slow, and hath need of 
help, wanting ability, and full of poverty.; h yet the eye of 
the Lord looked upon him for good, and set him up from 
his low estate, 

13 And lifted up his head from misery ; so that many 
that saw it marvelled at him. 

14 ' Prosperity and adversity, life and death, poverty 
and riches, come of the Lord. 

15 k Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, 
are of the Lord : love, and the way of good works, are 
from him. 

16 Error and darkness had their beginning together with 
sinners : and evil shall wax old with them that glory therein. 

17 The gift of the Lord remaineth with the godly, and 
l Ps. 106,4. ' his favour bringeth prosperity for ever. 

18 There is that waxe.th rich by his wariness and pinch- 
ing, and this is the portion of his reward : 

19 Whereas he saith, m I have found rest, and now will 
eat continually of my goods ; and yet he knoweth not what 
time shall || come upon him, and that he must leave those 
things to others, and die. 

20 n Be steadfast in thy covenant, and be conversant 
therein, and wax old in thy work. 

21 Marvel not at the works of sinners ; but trust in the 
o Gat. S, 9. Lord, ° and abide in thy labour : for it is an easy thing in the 

sight of the Lord, on the sudden to make a poor man rich. 

22 The blessing of the Lord is || in the reward of the 
godly, and suddenly he maketh his blessing to flourish. 

23 Say not, p What profit is there of my service ? and 
what good things shall 1 have hereafter ? 

24 Again, say not, I have enough, and possess many 
things, and what evil can come to me hereafter ? 

25 q In the day of prosperity there is a forgetfulness of 
affliction : and in the day of affliction there is no more

26 For it is an easy thing unto the Lord in the day of

27 The affliction of an hour maketh a man forget plea- 
sure : and in his end his deeds shall be discovered. 

28 Judge • none blessed before his death : for a man 
shall be known in his children. 

29 Bring not every man into thy house : for the deceitful 
man hath many trains. 

30 Like as a partridge taken [and kept] in a cage, so is 
the heart of the proud ; and like as a spy, watcheth he 
for thy fall : 

31 For he lieth in wait, and turneth good into evil, and 
in things worthy praise will lay blame upon thee. 

32 ' Of a spark of fire, a heap of coals is kindled : and a tJame93,s, 
sinful man layeth wait for blood. 6 - 

33 Take heed of a mischievous man, " for he worketh 
wickedness ; lest he bring upon thee a perpetual blot. 

34 Receive a stranger into thy house, and he will disturb 
thee, and turn thee out of thine own. 

CHAP. XII. 
T^HEN thou wilt do good, a know to whom thou doest 
" it ; so shalt thou be thanked for thy benefits. 

2 Do good to the godly man, and thou shalt find a recom- 
pense ; and if not from him, b yet from the Most High. 

3 There can no good come to him that is always occupied 40 - 
in evil, nor to him that giveth no alms. 

4 Give to the c godly man, and help not a sinner. 

5 Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the 
ungodly : hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, 
lest he overmaster thee thereby : for [else] thou shalt 
receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have 
done unto him. 

6 For the Most High hateth sinners, d and will repay d Rom. 12, 
vengeance unto the ungodly, e and keepeth them against the *'. 
mighty day of their punishment. 

7 Give unto the good, and help not the sinner. 

8 f A friend cannot be known in prosperity: and an fProv. 17, 
enemy cannot be hid in adversity. 

9 In the prosperity of a man, enemies will be grieved • 
but in his adversity, even a friend will depart. 

10 Never trust thine enemy •. for like as || iron rusteth, 
so is his wickedness. 

1 1 Though he humble himself, and go crouching, yet 
take good heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto 
him as if thou hadst wiped a looking-glass, and thou shalt 

know that his g rust hath not been altogether wiped g verse 10 
away. 

12 Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown 

thee, he stand up in thy place ; neither let him b sit at thy h See Ps. 
right hand, lest he seek to take thy seat, and thou at the 
last remember my words, and be pricked therewith. 

13 Who will pity the charmer that is bitten with a ser- 
pent, or any such as come nigh wild beasts ? 

14 So one that goeth to a sinner, and is || defiled with 
him in his sins, who will pity? 

15 For a while he will abide with thee, but if thou begin 
to fall, he will not tarry. 

16 ' An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips but in his iPs 
heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit : he will 
k weep with his eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not k Jer 4 '' 6 '

17 ' If adversity come upon thee, thou shalt find him 
there first ; and though he pretend to help thee, yet shall 
he || undermine thee.

per much, and change his countenance.

a If thou have any thing, he will live with thee : yea, 
he will make thee bare, and will not be sorry for it. 

6 If he have need of thee, c he will deceive thee, and 
smile upon thee, and put thee in hope 5 he will speak thee 
fair, and say, What wantest thou ? 

7 And he will shame thee by his meats, until he have 
drawn thee dry twice or thrice, and at the last he will laugh 
thee to scorn : afterward, when he seeth thee, he will for- 
sake thee, and d shake his head at thee. 

8 Beware that thou be not deceived, and brought down 
j| in thy jollity. 

9 If thou be invited of a mighty man, withdraw thyself, 
and so much the more will he invite thee. 

10 Press thou not upon him, lest thou be put back ; stand 
not far off, lest thou be forgotten. ; 

1 1 || Affect not to be made equal unto him in talk, || and 
believe not his many words : for with much communica- 
tion will he tempt thee, and smiling upon thee will get out 
thy secrets : 

12 But cruelly he will lay up thy words, and will not 
spare to do thee hurt, and to put thee in prison. 

13 * Observe, and take good heed, for thou walkest in 
peril of thy overthrowing : when thou hearest these things, 
awake in thy sleep. 

14 * Love the Lord all thy life, and call upon him for thy 
salvation. ! 

15 Every beast loveth his like, and every man loveth his 
neighbour. 

16 AH flesh consorteth according to kind, and a man 
will cleave to his like. 

17 What fellowship hath the wolf with the lamb? e so 
the sinner with the godly. 

18 What agreement is there between the hyena and a 
dog ? and what peace between the rich and the poor ? 

19 As the wild ass is the lion's prey in the wilderness : 
h so the rich eat up the poor. 

20 As the proud hate humility : so doth the rich abhor 
the poor. 

21 A rich man beginning to fall is held up of his friends : 
but a poor man being down is thrust also away by his friends. 

22 When a rich man is fallen, he hath many helpers : 
he speaketh things not to be spoken, and yet men justify 
him : the poor man slipped, and yet they rebuked him too ; 
' he spake wisely, and could have no place. 

23 k When a rich man speaketh, every man holdeth his 
tongue, and look, what he saith, they extol it to the clouds: 
but if the poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this 1 
and if he stumble, they will help to overthrow him, 

24 Riches are ' good unto him that hath no sin, and 
poverty is evil in the mouth of the ungodly. 

25 m The heart of a man changeth his countenance, 
whether it be for good or evil : and a merry heart maketh 
a cheerful countenance. 

26 A cheerful countenance is a token of a heart that is 
in prosperity ; and the finding out of parables is a weari- 
some labour of the mind.

4 For by one that hath understanding shall the city be

5 Many such things have I seen with mine eyes, and

6 a In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be

7 b He was not pacified toward the old giants who fell 
away in the strength of their foolishness. 

8 e Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourned,

9 He pitied not the people of perdition, who were taken 
away in their sins : 

10 d Nor the six hundred thousand footmen, who were 
15 & 16, 20. gathered together in the hardness of their hearts. 

11 And if there be one stiff-necked among the people, it 
echap. 5, 6. is marvel if he escape unpunished : for e mercy and wrath 

are with him ; he is mighty to forgive, and to pour out

judgeth a man according to his works. 

13 The sinner shall not escape with his spoils : and the 
patience of the godly shall not be frustrate. 

1 4 Make way for every work of mercy : for every man 
shall find according to his works. 

15 The Lord hardened Pharaoh, that he should not

deep, and the earth, and all that therein is, shall be moved

19 The mountains also and foundations of the earth shall

gave he them to understand. 

7 Withal he filled them with the knowledge of under-

8 He set his eye upon their hearts, that he might shew

9 He gave them to glory in his marvellous acts for ever,

3 Who governeth the world with the palm of his hand,

7 When a man hath done, then he beginneth ; and when

11 Therefore is God patient with them, and poureth 
forth his mercy upon them. 

12 He saw and perceived their end to be evil ; there- 
fore he multiplied his compassion. 

13 The mercy of man is toward his neighbour ; but the 
mercy of the Lord is upon all flesh ; he reproveth, and 
nurtureth, and teacheth, and bringeth again, as a shepherd

15 f My son, blemish not thy good deeds, neither use 
uncomfortable words when thou givest any thing. 

16 Shall not the dew assuage the heat? so is a word 
better than a gift. 

17 Lo, is not a word better than a gift? but both are

28 Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and 
will give praise unto him that found her. 

29 They that were of understanding in sayings, became 
also wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite parables. 

30 k Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself from 
thine appetites. 

31 If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, 
she will make thee a laughing-stock to thine enen.Ies that 
malign thee. 

32 Take not pleasure in much good cheer, neither be 
tied to the expense thereof. 

33 Be not made a beggar by banqueting upon borrowing, 
when thou hast nothing in thy purse : for thou shalt lie in 
wait for thine own life, and be talked on. 

CHAP. XIX. 
A LABOURING man that is given to drunkenness shall 
-^*- not be rich : and he that contemneth small things shall 
fall by little and little. 

2 Wine and women will make men of understanding to 
fall away : and he that cleaveth to harlots will become 
impudent. 

3 Moths and worms shall have him to heritage, and a 
bold man shall be taken away. 

4 " He that is hasty to give credit is light-minded ; and 
he that sinneth shall offend against his own soul. 

5 Whoso taketh pleasure in wickedness shall be con- 
demned : but he that resisteth pleasures crowneth his life. 

6 He that can rule his tongue shall live without strife ; 
and he that hateth babbling shall have less evil.

15 d Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, is easier to bear 
than a man without understanding. 

16 As timber girt and bound together in a building can- 
not be loosed with shaking : so the heart that is established 
by advised counsel shall fear at no time. 

17 A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as 
a fair plastering || on the wall of a gallery. 

13 Pales set on a high place will never stand against the 
wind : so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot 
stand against any fear. 

19 He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall : 
and he that pricketh the heart maketh it to shew her 
knowledge. 

20 Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them 
away : and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friend- 
ship. 

21 Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet 
despair not : for there may be a returning [to favour.] 

22 If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, 
fear not ; for there may be a reconciliation : except for 
upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a trea- 
cherous wound : for, for these things every friend will 
depart. 

23 Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou 
mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide steadfast unto him 
in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with 
him in his heritage : for a mean estate is not always to be 
contemned : nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admi- 
ration. 

24 As the vapour and smoke of a furnace goeth before 
the fire ; so reviling before blood. 

25 I will not be ashamed to defend a friend ; neither 
will I hide myself from him.

if he shall offend, his sin shall be upon him : and if he

if he swear in vain, he shall not be t innocent, but his

12 There is a word that is clothed about with death : 
God grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob ; 
for all such things shall be far from the godly, and they

14 Remember thy father and thy mother, when thou 
sittest among great men. Be not forgetful before them,

WISDOM shall graise herself, and shall glory in the 
midst of her people. 

2 In the congregation of the Most High shall she open 
her mouth, and triumph before his power. 

3 I came out of the mouth of the Most High, and covered 
the earth as || a cloud. 

4 a I dwelt in high places, and my throne is in a cloudy 
pillar. 

5 I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked 
in the bottom of the deep. 

6 In the waves of the sea, and in all the earth, and in 
every people and nation, I got a possession. 

7 With all these 1 sought rest : and in whose inheritance 
shall I abide ? 

8 So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, 
and he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest, and 
said, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in 
Israel. 

9 He b created me from the beginning before the world, 
and I shall never fail. 

10 In the c holy tabernacle I served before him ; and so 
was I established in Sion. 

1 1 d Likewise in the || beloved city he gave me rest, and 
in Jerusalem was my power. 

12 And I took root in an honourable people, even in the 
portion of the Lord's inheritance. 

13 I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a 
cypress-tree upon the mountains of Hermon. 

14 1 was exalted like a palm-tree in || Engaddi, and as a 
rose-plant in Jericho, as a fair olive-tree in a pleasant 
field, and grew up as a plane-tree || by the water. 

15 I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, 
and I yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as gal- 
lanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of 

e Ex. 30,34. frankincense in the e tabernacle. 

16 As the turpentine-tree I stretched out my branches, 
and my branches are the branches of honour and grace. 

17 f As the vine brought I forth a pleasant savour, and 
my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches. 

18 I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and know- 
ledge, and holy hope : I therefore, being eternal, am given 
to all my children which are || named of him. 

19 Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill 
yourselves with my fruits. 

20 For my memorial is e sweeter than honey, and mine 
inheritance than the honeycomb. 

21 They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that 
drink me shall yet be thirsty. 

22 He that obeyeth me shall never be confounded, and 
they that work by me shall not do amiss. 

23 All these things are the bock of the covenant of the 
most high God, even the h law which Moses commanded for 
a heritage unto the congregations of Jacob. 

24 Faint not to be strong in the Lord : that he may 
confirm you, cleave unto him : for the Lord Almighty is 
God alone, and besides him there is no other Saviour. 

25 He fiileth all things with his wisdom, as ' Phison and

27 He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the 
light, and as Geon in the time of vintage. 

28 The first man knew her not perfectly: no more shall 
the last find her out. 

29 For her thoughts are more than the sea, and her 
counsels profounder than the great deep. 

30 I also came out as a || brook from a river, and as a 
conduit into a garden. 

31 I said, I will water my best garden, and will water 
abundantly my garden-bed : and lo, my brook became a 
river, and my river became a sea. 

32 I will yet make doctrine to shine as the morning, and 
will send forth her light afar off. 

33 I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and leave 
it to all ages for ever.

CHAP. XXV. 

IN three things I || was beautified, and stood up beautiful II Or, 
both before God and men : the a unity of brethren, the f^n 13 &, 
love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together. Romans 12, 

2 Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly 
offended at their life : a poor man that is proud, a rich man 
that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doteth. 

3 If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, how canst 
thou find any thing in thine age ? 

4 O how comely a thing is judgment for gray hairs, and 
for ancient men to know counsel ! 

5 O how comely is the wisdom of old men, and under- 
standing and counsel to men of honour! 

6 Much experience is the crown of old men, and the 
fear of God is their glory. 

7 There be nine things which I have judged in my 
heart to be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my 
tongue : A man that hath joy of his children ; and he that 
liveth to see the fall of his enemy : 

8 Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of understand- 
ing, and that hath not b slipped with his tongue, and that

9 Well is him that hath found || prudence, and he that 
speaketh in the ears of them that will hear : 

10 O how great is he that findeth wisdom ! yet is there 
none above him that feareth the Lord. 

"11 But the love of the Lord passeth all things for illumi- 
nation : he that holdeth it, || whereto shall he be likened ? 

12 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of his love : 
and faith is the beginning of cleaving unto him. 

13 [Give me] any plague, but the plague of the heart : 
and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman : 

14 And any affliction, but the affliction from them that 
hate me : and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies. 

15 There is no head above the head of a serpent ; and 
there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy. 

16 c I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, than to c Prov. 21, 
keep house with a wicked woman. 

17 The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and 
darkeneth her countenance || like sackcloth. 

18 Her husband shall sit among his neighbours; and 
when he heareth it shall sigh bitterly. 

19 All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a 
woman : let the portion of a sinner fall upon her.

gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false accu- 
sation : all these are worse than death. 

6 But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is 
jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue 
which communicateth with all. 

7 An evil wife is [] a yoke shaken to and fro • he that 
hath hold of her is as though he held a scorpion. 

8 A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great 
anger, and she will not cover her own shame. 

9 The whoredom of a woman may be known in her 
haughty looks and eyelids. 

10 a If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, 
lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty. 

11 Watch over an impudent eye: and marvel not if she 
trespass against thee. 

12 She will open her mouth as a thirsty traveller when 
he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near 
her : by every || hedge she will sit down, and open her 
quiver against every arrow. 

13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her 
discretion will fatten his bones. 

14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord ; and 
there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed. 

15 A shamefaced and a faithful woman is a double grace, 
and her continent mind cannot be valued. 

16 A9 the sun when it ariseth | in the high heaven ; so 
is the beauty of a good wife in the || ordering of her house. 

17 As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick ; so is 
the beauty of the face || in ripe age. 

18 As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver ; 
so are the || fair feet with a constant || heart. 

19 My son, keep the flower of thine age sound ; and 
give not thy strength to strangers. 

20 When thou hast gotten a fruitful possession through 
all the field, sow it with thine own seed, trusting in the 
goodness of thy stock. 

21 So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, 
having the confidence of their good descent. 

22 A harlot shall be accounted as || spittle, but a married 
woman is a tower against death to her husband. 

23 A wicked woman is given as a portion to a wicked man : 
but a godly woman is given to him that feareth the Lord. 

24 A dishonest woman contemneth shame : but an honest 
woman will reverence her husband. 

25 A shameless woman shall be accounted as a dog ; but 
she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord. 

26 A woman that honoureth her husband shall be judged 
wise of all ; but she that dishonoureth him in her pride 
shall be counted ungodly of all. 

27 A loud crying woman and a scold shall be sought out 
to drive away the enemies. 

28 There be two things that grieve my heart ; and the 
third maketh me angry : a man of war that suffereth 
poverty; and men of understanding that are not set by; 
and one that returneth from righteousness to sin ; the Lord 
prepareth such a one ior the sword.

9 The birds will resort unto their like ; so will truth

11 e The discourse of a godly man is always with wis- eMal.3,lC 
dom ; but a fool changeth as the moon. 

12 If thou be among the indiscreet, observe the time; 
but be continually among men of understanding. 

13 The discourse of fools is irksome, and their sport is 
in the wantonness of sin. 

14 f The talk of him that sweareth much maketh the 
hair stand upright ; and their brawls make one stop his ears. 

15 The strife of the proud is blood-shedding, and their 34. 
revilings are grievous to the ear. 

16 Whoso discovereth secrets loseth his credit; and 
shall never find a friend to his mind. 

17 Love thy friend, and be faithful unto him: e but if gch.22,22. 
thou bewrayest his secrets, follow no more after him. 

18 For as a man hath destroyed his enemy ; so hast thou 
lost the love of thy neighbour. 

19 As one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, so hast 
thou let thy neighbour go, and shalt not get him again. 

20 h Follow after him no more, for he is too far off; he hverse 17. 
is as a roe escaped out of the snare. 

21 As for a wound, it may be bound up; and after 
reviling there may be reconcilement : but he that bewray- 
eth secrets is without hope. 

22 He ' that winketh with the eyes worketh evil : and 
he that knovveth him will depart from him. 

23 When thou art present, he will speak sweetly, and 
will admire thy words : but at the last he will || writhe his || Or, alter 
mouth, and slander thy sayings. 

24 I have hated many things, but nothing like him ; for 
the Lord will hate him. 

25 Whoso casteth a stone on high casteth it on his own 
head ; and a deceitful stroke shall make wounds. 

26 k Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein : and he that 
setteth a trap shall be taken therein. 

27 He that worketh mischief, it shall fall upon him, and 
he shall not know whence it cometh. 

28 Mockery and reproach are from the proud ; but 
1 vengeance, as a lion, shall lie in wait for them. 

29 ™ They that rejoice at the fall of the righteous shall 
be taken in the snare ; and anguish shall consume them 
before they die. 

30 Malice and wrath, even these are abominations ; and 
the sinful man shall have them hoth.

4 He sheweth no mercy to a man, which is like himself: 
and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins ? 

5 If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will entreat 
for pardon of his sins ? 

6 d Remember thy end, and let enmity cease ; [remem- 
ber] corruption and death, and abide in the command- 
ments, 

7 e Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to 
thy neighbour : [remember] the covenant of the Highest, 
and wink at ignorance. 

8 f Abstain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins : 
for a furious man will kindle strife. 

9 A sinful man disquieteth friends, and maketh debate 
among them that be at peace. 

10 s As the matter of the tire is, so it burneth : and as a 
man's strength is, so is his wrath ; and according to his 
riches his anger riseth ; and the stronger they are which 
contend, the more they will be inflamed. 

11 A hasty contention h kindleth a fire : and a hasty 
fighting; sheddeth blood. 

12 If thou blow the spark, it shall burn: if thou spit 
upon it, it shall be quenched : and both these come out of 
thy mouth. 

13 ! Curse the whisperer and double-tongued : for such 
have destroyed many that were at peace. 

14 A backbiting tongue hath disquieted many, and driven 
them from nation to nation : strong cities hath it pulled 
down, and overthrown the houses of great men. 

15 A || k backbiting tongue hath cast out virtuous women, 
and deprived' them of their labours. 

16 Whoso hearkeneth unto it shall never find rest, and 
never dwell quietly. 

17 The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh : 
but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones. 

18 Many have fallen by the edge of the sword : but not 
so many as have fallen by the tongue. 

19 Well is he 'that is defended from it, and hath not 
passed through m the venom thereof; who hath not drawn 
the yoke thereof, nor hath been bound in her bands. 

20 For the yoke thereof is a yoke of iron, and the bands 
thereof are bands of brass. 

21 The death thereof is an evil death, the grave were 
better than it. 

22 n It shall not have rule over them that fear God, 
neither shall they be burned with the flame thereof. 

23 Such as forsake the Lord shall fall into it ; and it 
shall burn in them, and not be quenched ; it shall be sent 
upon them as a lion, and devour them as a leopard. 

24 Look that thou hedge thy possession about with 
thorns, and bind up thy silver and gold : 

25 And weigh thy words in a balance, ° and make a door 
and bar for thy mouth. 

26 Beware thou slide not by it, * lest thou fall before 
him that lieth in wait.

4 Many, when a thing was lent them, reckoned it to be 
found, and put them to trouble that helped them. 

5 Till he hath received, he will kiss a man's hand ; 
and for his neighbour's money he will speak submissly : 
c but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and 
return words of grief, and complain of the time. 

6 |j If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and 
he will count as if he had found it :• if not, he hath

3 To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the

4 c Thou shalt not appear empty before the Lord. 

5 For all these things [are to be done] because of the 
commandment. 

6 The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat, and 
the sweet savour thereof is before the Most High. 

7 d The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable, and the me-

1 1 For the Lord recompenseth, and will give thee seven 
times as much. 

|Or, 12 j| Do not think to corrupt with gifts ; s for such he will 

not receive : and trust not to unrighteous sacrifices ; for the 
Lord is judge, and with him is h no respect of persons. 

13 He will not accept any person against a poor man, 
but will hear the prayer of the oppressed. 

14 He will not despise the supplication of the 'fatherless ; 
nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint. 

15 Do not the tears run down the widow's cheeks ? and 
is not her cry against him that causeth them to fall ? 

1G He that serveth the Lord shall be accepted with fa-

17 k The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds : and 
till it come nigh, he will not be comforted ; and will not de-

and execute judgment.

12 B But be continually with a godly man, whom thou

25 The days of the life of man may be numbered : but

27 My son, prove thy soul in thy life, and see what is 
evil for it, and give not that unto it. 

28 For all things are not profitable for all men, neither 
hath every soul pleasure in every thing. 

29 Be not unsatiable in any dainty thing, nor too greedy 
upon meats : 

30 For || excess of meats bringeth sickness, and surfeit-

ONOUR a physician with the honour due unto him 
for the uses which ye may have of him : for the 
Lord hath created him. 

2 For of the Most High cometh healing, and he shall re- 
ceive || honour of the king. 

3 The skill of the physician shall lift up his head : and 
In the sight of great men he shall be in admiration. 

4 b The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth ; 
and he that is wise will not abhor them. 

5 c Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the 
virtue thereof might be known ? 

6 And he hath given men skill, that he might be honour- 
ed in his marvellous works. 

7 With such d doth he heal [men,] and taketh away their 
pains. 

8 Of such doth the apothecary make a confection ; and 
of his works there is no end ; and from him is peace over 
all the earth. 

9 My son, in thy sickness be not negligent : but 
unto the Lord, and he will make thee whole. 

10 f Leave off from sin, and order thy hands aright, and 
cleanse thy heart from all wickedness. 

1 1 Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour ; 
and make a fat offering, || as not being. 

12 Then give place to the physician, g for the Lord hath 
created him : let him not go from thee, for thou hast need 
of him. 

13 There is a time when in their hands there is good 
success. 

14 For they shall a\so pray unto the Lord, that he would 
prosper that which they give for ease and || remedy to pro- 
long life. 

15 He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the 
hand of the physician. 

16 My son, ,J let tears fall down over the dead, and begin 
to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and 
then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect 
not his burial. 

17 Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamen- 
tation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be 
evil spoken of: and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.

24 The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity 
of leisure : and he that hath little business shall become 
wise. 

25 How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plow, and 
that glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is occupi-

26 "He giveth his mind to make furrows ; and is diligent bullocks?

look still upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh ; he 
setteth his mind to finish his work, and watcheth to polish 
it perfectly : 

29 So doth the p potter sitting at his work, and turning pJer. 18,6.

32 Without these cannot a city be inhabited : and they

12 Yet have I more to say, which I have thought upon ; 
s for I am filled as the moon at the full. 

13 Hearken unto me, ye holy children, and bud forth as 
a rose growing by the || brook of the field : 

14 And give ye a sweet savour as frankincense, and 
flourish as a lily, send forth a smell, and sing a song of praise, 
bless the Lord in all his works. 

15 Magnify his name, and shew forth his praise h with 
Heb. 13, lo. tb. e songs of your lips, and with harps, and in praising him 

ye shall say after this manner : 

16 ' All the works of the Lord are exceeding good, and 
whatsoever he commandeth shall be accomplished in due 
season. 

17 And none may say, k What is this ? wherefore is that ? 
for at time convenient they shall all be sought out : at his 
commandment the waters stood as a heap, and at the words 
of his mouth the receptacles of waters. 

18 At his commandment is done ' whatsoever pleaseth 
him ; and none can hinder, when he will save. 

19 The works of all flesh are before him, m and nothing 
can be hid from his eyes. 

20 He seeth from everlasting to everlasting ; and there 
is nothing wonderful before him. 

21 A man need not to say, What is this? wherefore is 
that ? " for he hath made all things for their uses. 

22 His blessing covered the dry land as a river, and 
watered it as a flood. 

23 As he hath turned the waters into saltness : so shall 
the heathen inherit his wrath. 

24 ° As his ways, are plain unto the holy ; so are the}' 
stumbling-blocks unto the wicked. 

25 For the good are good things created from the be- 
pcl>. 40, 9, ginning: p so evil things for sinners. 

26 q The principal things for the whole use of man's life 
are water, fire, iron, and salt, flour of wheat, honey, milk, 
and the blood of the grape, and oil, and clothing. 

27 ' All these things are for good to the godly : so to the 
sinners the}' are turned into evil. 

28 There be spirits that are created for vengeance, which 
in their fury lay on sore strokes ; in the time of destruction 
they pour out their force, and appease the wrath of him 
that made them. 

29 Fire, and hail, and famine, and death, all these were 
created for " vengeance ; 

30 Teeth of wild beasts, and scorpions, || serpents, and 
the sword, punishing the wicked to destruction. 

31 They shall rejoice in his commandment, and they shall 
be ready upon earth, when need is ; and when their time 
is come, they shall not transgress his word. 

32 Therefore from the beginning I was resolved, and 
thought upon these things, and have left them in writing. 

33 All the works of the Lord are good : and he will give 
every needful thing in due season. 

34 So that a man cannot say, This is worse than that : 
for in time they shall all be well approved. 

35 And therefore praise ye the Lord with the whole heart 
and mouth, and bless the name of the Lord.

23 A friend and companion never meet amiss : but above 
both is a wife with her husband. 

24 Brethren and help are against time of trouble : but 
alms shall deliver more than them both. 

25 Gold and silver make the foot stand sure : but coun- 
sel is esteemed above them both. 

26 Riches and strength lift up the heart : but the fear of 
the Lord is above them both : there is no want in the fear

28 My son, lead not a beggar's life ; for better it is to 
die than to beg. 

29 The life of him that dependeth on another man's ta-

5 The children of sinners are abominable children, and 
they that are conversant in the dwelling of the ungodly. 

6 The inheritance of sinners' children shall perish, and 
their posterity shall have a perpetual reproach. 

7 The children will complain of an ungodly father, be- 
cause they shall be reproached for his sake. 

8 Wo be unto you, ungodly men, which have forsaken 
the law of the most high God ! for if ye increase, it shall be 
to your destruction : 

9 And if ye be born, ye shall be born to a curse : and 
if ye die, a curse shall be your portion. 

10 ' All that are of the earth shall turn to earth again : so 
the ungodly shall go from a curse to destruction. 

1 1 The mourning of men is about their bodies : but an

thee above a thousand great treasures of gold. 

13 A good life hath but few days : but a good name en- 
dureth for ever. 

14 My children, keep discipline in peace : for wisdom 
that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is 
in them both ? 

15 A man that hideth his foolishness is better than a man 
that hideth his wisdom. 

16 Therefore be shamefaced according to my word : for 
it is not good to retain all shamefacedness ; neither is it 
altogether approved in every thing. 

17 Be ashamed of whoredom before father and mother : 
and of a lie before a prince and a mighty man ; 

18 Of an offence before a judge and ruler ; of iniquity 
before a congregation and people j of unjust dealing before 
thy partner and friend ; 

19 And of theft in regard of the place where thou so- 
journest, and in regard of the truth of God and his cove- 
nant ; and to lean with thine elbow upon the meat ; and of 
scorning to give and take. 

20 And of silence before them that salute thee ; and to 
look upon a harlot ; 

21 And to turn away thy face from thy kinsman ; or to 
take away a portion or a gift ; or to gaze upon another man's 
wife ; 

22 Or to be over-busy with his maid, and come not near 
her bed ; or of upbraiding speeches before friends ; and 
after thou hast given, upbraid not ; 

23 Or of iterating and speaking again that which thou hast 
heard ; and of revealing of secrets. 

24 So shalt thou be truly shamefaced, and find favour be- 
fore all men. 

CHAP. XLII. 
F these thing3 be not thou ashamed, and accept no per- 
son to sin thereby : 

2 Of the law of the Most High, and his covenant ; and 
of judgment to justify the ungodly ; 

3 || Of reckoning with thy partners and || travellers ; or 
|| of the gift of the heritage of friends ; 

4 Of exactness of balance and weights ; or of getting 
much or little ; 

5 And of merchants' || indifferent selling ; of much cor-

6 Sure keeping is good, where an evil wife is ; and shut 
up, where many hands are. 

7 Deliver all things in number and weight ; and put all

clare the things that 1 have seen : In the words of the Lord 
are his works. 

16 The sun that giveth light looketh upon all things, and 
the work thereof is full of the glory of the Lord. 

17 The Lord hath not given power to the saints to de- 
clare all his marvellous works, which the Almighty Lord 
firmly settled, that whatsoever is, might be established for 
his glory. 

18 He seeketh out the deep, and the heart, and consider- 
ed their crafty devices : for || the Lord knoweth all that may 
be known, and he beholdeth the signs of the world. 

1 9 He declareth the things that are past, and for to come, 
and revealeth the steps of hidden things. 

20 c No thought escapeth him, neither any word is hid- 
den from him. 

21 He hath garnished the excellent works of his wisdom, 
and he is from everlasting to everlasting : unto him may 
nothing be added, neither can he be diminished, and he hath 
no need of any counsellor. 

22 O how desirable are all his works ! and that a man 
may see even to a spark. 

23 All these things live and remain for ever for all uses, 
and they are all obedient. 

24 All things are double one against another : and he 
hath made nothing imperfect. 

25 One thing establisheth the good of another : and who 
shall be filled with beholding his glory ?

1 5 By his great power he maketh the clouds firm, and 
the hailstones are broken small. 

16 At his sight the mountains are shaken, and at his will 
the south wind bloweth. 

17 The noise of the thunder mnketh the earth II to trem-

birds flying scattereth the snow, and the falling down 
-jcreof is as the lighting of grasshoppers : 

18 The eye marvelleth at the beauty of the whiteness 
thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raining of it. 

19 The hoar-frost also as salt he poureth on the earth, 
and being congealed, || it lieth on the top of sharp stakes. 

20 When the cold north wind bloweth, and the water is 
congealed into ice, it abideth upon every gathering together 
of water, and clotheth the water as with a breastplate. 

21 It devoureth the mountains, and burneth the wilder- 
ness, and consumeth the grass as lire. 

22 A present remedy of all is a mist coming speedily: a 
dew coming || after heat, refresheth. 

23 By his counsel he appeaseth the deep, and planteth 
islands therein. 

24 c They that sail on the sea, tell of the danger 
thereof; and when we hear it with our ears, we marvel 
thereat. 

25 f For therein be strange and wondrous works, variety 
of all kinds of beasts and whales created. 

26 By him the end of them hath prosperous success, and 
by his word all things consist. 

27 We may speak much, and yet come short : wherefore 
in sum, he is all. 

28 How shall we be able to magnify him ? for he is great 
above all his works. 

29 s The Lord is terrible and very great, and marvellous 
is his power. 

30 When ye glorify the Lord, exalt him as much as ye 
can ; for even yet will he far exceed : and when ye exalt 
him, put forth all your strength, and be not weary ; for ye 
can never go far enough. 

31 h Who hath seen him that he might tell us ? and who 
can magnify him as he is ? 

32 There are yet hid greater things than these be, for

hath he given wisdom.

2 The Lord hath wrought great glory by them through 
his great power from the beginning. 

3 Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, men renown-

and declaring prophecies : 

4 Leaders of the people by their counsels, and by their 
knowledge of learning meet for the people, wise and elo- 
quent in their instructions : 

5 Such as found out musical tunes, and recited || verses 
in writing : 

6 Rich men furnished with ability, living peaceably in 
their habitations : 

7 All these were honoured in their generations, and were 
the glory of their times. 

8 There be of them, that have left a name behind them, 
that their praises might be reported. 

9 And some there be, which have no memorial ; ' who 
are perished, as though they had never been ; and are be- 
come as though they had never been born ; and their chil- 
dren after them. 

10 But these were merciful men, whose righteousness 
hath not been forgotten. 

1 1 With their seed shall continually remain a good inher- 
itance, and their children are within the covenant. 

12 Their seed standeth fast, and their children || for 
their sakes.

cause them to inherit from sea to sea, and from the river

15 Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy 
oil : this was appointed unto him hy an everlasting covenant, 
and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that 
they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the 
priesthood, and bless the people in his name. 

16 He. chose him out of all men living to offer sacrifice 
to the Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for a memorial, 
to make reconciliation for his people. 

17 s He gave unto him his commandments, and authority 
in the statutes of judgments, that he should teach Jacob the 
testimonies, and inform Israel in his laws. 

1 3 h Strangers conspired together against him, and malign- 
ed him in the wilderness, even the men that were of 
Dathan's and Abiron's side, and the congregation of Core, 
with fury and wrath. 

19 This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, and in his 
wrathful indignation were they consumed : he did wonders 
upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame. 

20 ' But he made Aaron more honourable, and gave him 
a heritage, and divided unto him the first-fruits of the in- 
crease ; especially he prepared bread in abundance : 

21 For they ate of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he 
gave unto him and his seed. 

22 k Howbeit, in the land of the people he had no inherit- 
ance, neither had he any portion among the people : for the 
Lord himself is his portion and inheritance. 

23 ' The third in glory is Phinees the son of Eleazar, 
because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and stood up 
with good courage of heart when the people were turned 
back, and made reconciliation for Israel 

24 Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with 
him, that he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of 
his people, and that he and his posterity should have the 
dignity of the priesthood for ever : 

25 According to the covenant made with David the son 
of Jesse, of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance of the 
king should be to his posterity alone : so the inheritance 
of Aaron should also be unto his seed. 

26 God give you wisdom in your heart to judge his peo- 
ple in righteousness, that their good things be not abolished, 
and that their glory may endure for ever.

great variety of sounds was there made sweet melody. 

19 And the people besought the Lord, the Most High,

27 Jesus the son of Sirach of Jerusalem hath written in 
this book the instruction of understanding and knowledge, 
who out of his heart poured forth wisdom. 

28 Blessed is he that shall be exercised in these things ; 
and he that layeth them up in his heart shall become wise. 

29 For if he do them, he shall be strong to all things : 
for the light of the Lord leadeth him, who giveth wisdom 
to the godly. Blessed be the Lord for ever. Amen, Amen. 

CHAP. LI. 
IT A prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach. 

I WILL thank thee, O Lord and King, and praise thee, O 
God my Saviour : I do give praise unto thy name : 
2 For thou art my defender and helper, and hast pre- 
served my body from destruction, and from the snare of the 



prayer. 



|j Or, went

slanderous tongue, and from the lips that forge lies, and hast Before 
been my helper against mine adversaries : Voo 

3 And hast delivered me, according to the multitude of \*~w*^/ 
thy mercies and greatness of thy name, from | the teeth of t Gr. tiu 
them that were ready to devour me, and out of the hands s T^1 s , t f. 
of such as sought after my life, and from the manifold afflic- 

tions which I had ; 

4 From the choking of fire on every side, and from the 
midst of the fire which I kindled not ; 

5 From the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean 
tongue, and from lying words. 

6 By an accusation to the king from an unrighteous 
tongue, my soul drew near even unto death, my life was 
near to the hell beneath. 

7 They compassed me on every side, and there was no 
man to help me : I looked for the succour of men, but there 
was none. 

8 Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, and upon 
thine acts of old, how thou deliverest such as wait for thee, 
and savest them out of the hands of the enemies. 

9 Then lifted I up my supplication from the earth, and 
prayed for deliverance from death. 

10 I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, that 
he would not leave me in the days of my trouble, and in 
the time of the proud, when there was no help. 

Ill will praise thy name continually, and will sing praise 
with thanksgiving ; || and so my prayer was heard : || Or, bt- 

12 For thou savedst me from destruction, and deliveredst ™"**,7 13 ' 
me from the evil time : therefore will I give thanks, and 
praise thee, and bless thy name, O Lord. 

13 When I was yet young, or ever I || went abroad, I de- 
sired wisdom openly in my prayer. 

1 4 I prayed for her before the temple, and will seek her 
out even to the end. 

15 Even from the flower till the grape was ripe, hath 
my heart delighted in her : my foot went the right way, 
from my youth up sought I after her. 

16 I bowed down mine ear a little, and received her, and 
gat much learning. 

17 I profited therein, therefore will I ascribe the glory 
unto him that giveth me wisdom. 

18 For I purposed to do after her, and earnestly I fol- 
lowed that which is good ; so shall I not be confounded. 

19 My soul hath wrestled with her, and in my doings I 
was exact : I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, 
and bewailed my ignorances of her. 

20 || I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pure- 
ness : I have had my heart joined with her from the begin- 
ning, therefore shall I not be forsaken. 

21 My || heart was troubled in seeking her: therefore 
have I gotten a good possession. 

22 The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and 
I will praise him therewith. 

23 Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and dwell in the 
house of learning. 

24 Wherefore are ye slow, and what say ye of these 
things, seeing your souls are very thirsty ? 

25 I opened my mouth, and said, a Buy her for your- a Isa. 55, 1 
selves without money. 

26 Put your neck under the yoke, and let your soul re- 
ceive instruction : she is hard at hand to find. 

27 b Behold with your eyes, how that I have had but lit- 
tle labour, and have gotten unto me much rest. 

28 Get learning with a great sum of money, and get much 
gold by her. 

29 Let your soul rejoice in his mercy, and be not 
ashamed of his praise. 

30 Work your work betimes, and in his time he will 
give you your reward.

CHAP. I. 

AND these are the words of the book, which Baruch the 
son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, 
the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon. 

2 In the iifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, 
what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it 
with tire. 

3 And Baruch did read the words of this book in the 
hearing of Jechonias the son of || Joachim king of Juda, and 
in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book, 

4 And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king's 
sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, 
from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that 
dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud. 

5 Whereupon they c wept, fasted, || and prayed before 
the Lord. 

6 They made also a collection of money according to 
every man's power : 

7 And they sent it to Jerusalem unto || Joachim the high 
priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, 
and to all the people which were found with him at Je- 
rusalem, 

8 At the same time when he received the vessels of the 
house of the Lord, d that were carried out of the temple, 
to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth day of the 
month Sivan, namely, silver vessels, which Sedecias the son 
of Josias king of Juda had made, 

9 After that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried 
away Jechonias, and the princes, and the || captives, and the 
mighty men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, 
and brought them unto Babylon. 

10 And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to 
buy you burnt-offerings, and sin-offerings, and incense, and 
prepare ye t manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord 
our God ; 

1 1 e And pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of 
Babylon, and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their 
days may be upon earth as the days of heaven : 

12 And the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our 
eyes, and we shall live f under the shadow of Nabuchodo- 
nosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar 
his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour 
in their sight. 

13 Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we have 
sinned against the Lord our God ; and unto this day the 
fury of the Lord and his wrath is not turned from us. 

14 And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto 
you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the 
feasts and solemn days. 

15 And ye shall say, e To the Lord our God belongeth 
righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it is 
come to pass this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabit- 
ants of Jerusalem, 

16 And to our kings, and to our princes, and to our 
priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers : 

17 For we have b sinned before the Lord, 

18 And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the 
voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments 
that he gave us openly : 

19 ' Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers 
out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have 
been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been 
negligent in not hearing his voice. 

20 k Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, 
which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time 
that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give 
us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as it is to 
see this day. 

21 Nevertheless we have ' not hearkened unto the voice 
of the Lord our God, according unto all the words of the 
prophets, whom he sent unto us : 



22 But every man followed the imagination of his own 
wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the 
sight of the Lord our God. 

CHAP. II. 

nnHEREFORE the Lord hath 'made good his word, 

-*- which he pronounced against us, and against our judges 

that judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our 

princes, and against the men of Israel and Juda, 

2 To bring upon us great plagues, such as never happen- 
ed under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, 
according to the things that were written in the law of 
Moses ; 

3 That a man should b eat the flesh of his own son, and 
the flesh of his own daughter. 

4 Moreover he hath delivered them to be c in subjection 
to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as d a re- 
proach and desolation among all the people round about, 
where the Lord hath scattered them. 

5 Thus we t were cast down, and not exalted, because we 
have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been 
obedient unto his voice. 

6 e To the Lord our God appertaineih righteousness : but 
unto us and to our fathers open shame, as appeareth this day. 

7 For all these plagues are come upon us, f which the 
Lord hath pronounced against us. 

8 s Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we 
might turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked 
heart. 

9 Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the 
Lord hath brought it upon us : for the Lord is righteous in 
all his works which he hath commanded us. 

10 Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in 
the commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us. 

11 b And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought 
thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, 
and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with 
great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth 
this day : 

12 O Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done un- 
godly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances. 

13 ' Let thy wrath turn from us : k for we are but a few 
left among the heathen, where thou hast scattered us. 

14 Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and de- 
liver us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight 
of them which have led us away : 

15 ' That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord 
our God, because | m Israel and his posterity is called by 
thy name. 

16 O Lord, "look down from thy holy house, and con- 
sider us : bow down thine ear, O Lord, to hear us. 

17 Open thine eyes and behold ; for the ° dead that are 
ill the graves, whose t souls are taken from their bodies, 
will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness : 

18 But the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stoop- 
ing and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul, 
will give thee praise and righteousness, O Lord. 

19 p Therefore we do not make our humble supplication 
before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our 
fathers, and of our kings. 

20 For thou hast sent out thy wrath and indignation upon 
us, as thou hast spoken by thy servants the prophets, saying, 

21 '' Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to 
serve the king of Babylon : so shall ye remain in the bind 
that I gave unto 3"our fathers. 

22 But if ye will not hear the voice of the Lord, to serve 
the king of Babylon, 

23 r I will cause to cease out of the cities of Juda, 
and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the 
voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice 
of the bride : and the whole land shall be desolate of 
inhabitants.

24 But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve 
Jer. 8, 1,2. the king of Babylon : • therefore hast thou made good the 

words that thou spakestby thy servants the prophets, name- 
ly, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, 
should be taken out of their places. 

25 And lo, they are cast out ' to the heat of the day, and 
to the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by 
famine, by sword, and by pestilence. 

26 And the house which is called by thy name hast thou 
laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of 
the house of Israel and the house of Juda. 

27 O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy 
goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine, 

28 As thou spakest by thy " servant Moses in the day 
when thou didst command hirn to write thy law before the 
children of Israel, saying, 

29 x If ye will not hear my voice, surely | this very great 
multitude shall be turned into a small number among the na- 
tions, where I will scatter them. 

30 For I knew that they would not hear me, because it 
is a stiff-necked people : but in the land of their captivities 
they shall || remember themselves, 

31 And shall know that I am the Lord their God : for I 
will give them a heart, and ears to hear : 

32 And they shall praise me in the land of their captivi- 
ty, and y think upon my name, 

33 And return from their stiff t neck, and from their 
wicked deeds : for they shall remember the way of their 
fathers, which sinned before the Lord. 

34 And I will bring them again into the land which I 
promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, 
and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it : and I will increase 
them, and they shall not be diminished. 

35 z And I will make an everlasting covenant with them 
to be their God, and they shall be my people : and I will 
no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I 
have given them. 

CHAP. III. 

OLORD Almighty, God of a Israel, the soul in anguish, 
the troubled spirit, crieth unto thee. 

2 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy ; for thou art merciful : 
and have pit}' upon us, because we have sinned before thee. 

3 For thou endurest for ever, and we perish utterly. 

4 O Lord Almighty, thou God of Israel, hear now the 
prayers of b the dead Israelites, and of their children, which 
have sinned before thee, and not hearkened unto the voice j 
of thee their God: for the which cause these plagues 
cleave unto us. 

5 c Remember not the iniquities of our forefathers : but 
think upon thy power and thy name now at this time. 

6 For thou art the Lord our God, and thee, O Lord, will 
we praise. 

7 And for this cause thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, 
to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise 
thee in our captivity : for d we have called to mind all the 
iniquity of our forefathers, that sinned before thee. 

8 Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where 
e Pa. 79, 4. thou hast scattered us, for e a reproach and a curse, and to 

be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our 
fathers, which departed from the Lord our God. 

9 Hear, Israel, the commandments of life : give ear to 
understand wisdom. 

10 How happeneth it, Israel, that thou art in thine ene- 
mies' land, that thou art waxen old in a strange country, 
that thou art defiled with the dead, 

11 ' That thou art counted with them that go down into 
the grave ? 

12 Thou hast forsaken the fountain of wisdom. 

13 For E if thou hadst walked in the way of God, thou 
shouldest have dwelled in peace for ever. 

14 Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is 
understanding ; that thou mayest know also where is length 
of days, and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace.

15 b Who hath found out her place ? or who hath come hJob28,12.

16 Where are the princes of the heathen become, and 
such as ruled the beasts upon the earth ; 

17 They that had their pastime with the fowls of the air, 
and they that boarded up silver and gold, ' wherein men 
trust, and made no end of their getting ? 

18 For they that wrought in silver, and were so careful, 
and whose works are unsearchable, 

19 They are vanished and gone down to the grave, k and t Eccl. 1,4. 
others are come up in their steads. 

20 Young men have seen light, and dwelt upon the 
earth : but the way of knowledge have they not known, 

21 Nor understood the paths thereof, nor laid hold of it : 
their children were far off from that way. 

22 It hath not been heard of in Chanaan, neither hath 
it been seen in ' Theman. 

23 The Agarenes that seek wisdom upon earth, the mer- 
chants of Meran and of Theman, the || authors of fables, and 
searchers out of understanding ; none of these have known e*pounfcrs. 
the way of wisdom, or remember her paths. 

24 O Israel, m how great is the house of God '. and how m Gen. 28, 
large is the place of his possession ! 17- 

25 Great, and hath none end ; high, and unmeasurable. 

26 There were the "giants famous from the beginning, n Gen. 6,4. 
that were of so great stature, and so expert in war. 

27 Those did not the Lord choose, neither gave he the 
way of knowledge unto them : 

28 But they were destroyed, because they had no wis- 
dom, and perished through their own foolishness. 

29 ° Who hath gone up into heaven, and taken her, and 
brought her down from the clouds ? 

30 Who hath gone over the sea, and found her, and will 
bring her for pure gold ? 

31 No man knoweth her way, nor thinketh of her path. 

32 But he that knoweth all things knoweth her, and hath 
found her out with his understanding : he that prepared 
the earth for evermore hath rilled it with four-footed beasts • 

33 He that sendeth forth light, and it goeth, calleth it 
again, p and it obeyeth him with fear. 

34 The stars shined in their watches, and rejoiced : 
when he calleth them, they say, Here we be ; and so with 
cheerfulness they shewed light unto him that made them. 

35 q This is our God, and there shall none other be ac- 
counted of in comparison of him. 

36 He hath found out all the way of knowledge, and hath 
given it unto Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved. 

37 r Afterward did he shew himself upon earth, and con- 
versed with men. 

CHAP. IV. 

THIS is the book of a the commandments of God, and

11 With joy did I nourish them ; but sent them away 
with weeping and mourning. 

12 Let no man rejoice over me, f a widow, and forsaken

because they departed from the law of God. 

13 They knew not his statutes, nor walked in the ways

14 Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember

CHAP. VI. 
IT A copy of an epistle which Jeremiah sent unto them 
which were to be led captives into Babylon by the king 
of the Bab3'lonians, to certify them as it was command- 
ed him of God. 
"I3ECAUSE of the sins which ye have committed before 
■"-* God, a ye shall be led away captives into Babylon by aJer. 2", 
Nabuchodonosor king of the Babylonians. *"' 

3 So when ye be come unto Babylon, b ye shall remain bJer. 29, 5. 
there many years, and for a long season, namely, seven 6 > 7 - 
generations : and after that I will bring jou away peaceably 

from thence. 

4 c Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of silver, and of cP6. 115,4. 
gold, and of wood, borne upon shoulders, which cause the jq 3 '!* 4 .^ '?' 
nations to fear. 7. 

5 Beware therefore that ye in no wise be like to stran- Wistfomi3 
gers, neither be ye afraid of them, when ye see the mul- 

titude before them and behind them, worshipping them. 

6 But say ye in your hearts, O Lord, d we must worship <1 rkm r,, 
thee. 13 

7 For e mine angel is with you, and I myself caring for e Ex. 28,20 
your souls. 

8 As for their tongue, it is polished by the workman, 
and they themselves are gilded and laid over with gold ; yet 

are they but false, f and cannot speak. fP*. 135,16. 

9 And taking gold, as it were for a virgin that loveth to 
go gay, they make crowns for the heads of their gods. 

10 Sometimes also the priests convey from their gods 
gold and silver, and bestow it upon themselves. 

11 Yea, they will give thereof to the || common harlots, I! Or, wHch 
and deck them as men with garments, [being] gods of silver, ^"'n,'".,'/, 
and gods of gold, and wood. open 

12 Yet cannot these gods save themselves from rust and 
moths, though they be covered with purple raiment. 

13 They wipe their faces because of the dust of the tem- 
ple, when there is much upon them. 

1 4 And he that cannot put to death one that offendeth him, 
holdeth a sceptre, as though he were a judge of the country. 

15 He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an axe : 

s but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves. ^ !v " ■• •- 

16 Whereby they are known not to be gods : therefore 
fear them not. 

17 For like as a vessel that a man oseth is nothing worth 
when it is broken: even so it is with their gods : when 

they be set up in the temple, thr>ir eyes be h full of dust h rent IS. 
through the feet of them that come in. 

18 And as the || doors are made sure on every side upon (Or,

19 They light them candle?, yea, more than for them- 
selves, whereof they cannot see one. 

20 They are as one of the beams of the temple, yet they 
say their hearts are t gnawed upon by things creeping out 
of the earth ; and when they eat them and their clothes, 
they feel it not. 

21 Their faces are blacked through the smoke that 
cometh out of the temple. 

22 Upon their bodies and heads sit bats, swallows, and 
hirds, and the cats also. 

23 By this ye may know that they are no gods : k there- 
fore fear them not. 

24 Notwithstanding the gold that is about them to make 
them beautiful, except they wipe off the rust, they will not 
shine : for neither when they were molten did they feel it. 

25 The things wherein there is no breath are bought for 
|| a most high price. 

26 ' They are borne upon shoulders, having no feet, 
whereby they declare unto men that they be nothing worth. 

27 They also that serve them are ashamed : for if they 
fall to the ground at any time, m they cannot rise up again 
of themselves : neither, if one set them upright, can they 
move of themselves : neither, if they be bowed down, can 
they make themselves straight : but they set || gifts before 
them, as unto dead men. 

28 As for the things that are sacrificed unto them, their 
priests sell and || abuse ; in like manner their wives lay up 
part thereof in salt ; but unto the poor and impotent they 
give nothing of it. 

29 Menstruous women, and women in child-bed " eat 
their sacrifices : by these things ye may know that they are 
no gods : fear them not. 

30 For how can they be ° called gods ? because women 
set meat before the gods of silver, gold, and wood. 

31 And the priests sit in their temples, having their 
clothes rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing 
upon their heads. 

32 They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at 
the feast when one is dead. 

33 The priests also take off their garments, and clothe 
their wives and children. 

34 Whether it be evil that one doeth unto them, or good, 
p they are not able to recompense it : they can neither set 
up a king, nor put him down. 

35 In like manner they can neither give riches nor 
money : though a man make a vow unto them, and keep it 
not, they will not require it. 

36 q They can save no man from death, neither deliver 
the weak from the mighty. 

37 They cannot restore a blind man to his sight, nor 
help any man in his distress. 

38 They can shew no mercy to the widow, nor do good 
to the fatherless. 

39 Their gods of wood, and which are r overlaid with 
gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the 
mountain : they that worship them shall be confounded. 

40 How should a man then think and say that they are 
gods, when even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them ? 

41 Who, if they shall see one dumb that cannot speak, 
they || bring him, 8 and entreat Bel that he may speak, as 
though he were able to understand. 

42 Yet they cannot understand this themselves, and leave 
them : for they have no || knowledge. 

43 The women also with cords about them, sitting in the 
ways, burn bran for perfume : but if any of them, drawn by 
some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fel- 
low, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her 
cord oroken. 

44 Whatsoever is done among them i3 false : how may

tinue long ; how should then the things that are made of 
them be gods ? 

47 For they left lies and reproaches to them that come 
after. 

48 For when there cometh any war or plague upon them, 
the priests consult with themselves, where they may be 
hidden with them. 

49 How then cannot men perceive that they be no gods, 
u which can neither save themselves from war nor from u verse 15. 
plague ? 

50 * For seeing they be but of wood, and overlaid with xP*. 115,4. 
silver and gold, it shall be known hereafter that they are Jejuni ia. 
false : 

51 And it shall manifestly appear to all nations and kings 
that they are no gods, y but the works of men's hands, and yPs. 115,4. 
that there is no work of God in them. 

52 Who then may not know that they are no gods ? 

53 For neither can they set up a king in the land, * nor 
give rain unto men. 

54 Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress 
a wrong, being unable : for they are as crows between 
heaven and earth. 

55 Whereupon when fire falleth upon the house of gods 
of wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their priests will 
flee away, and escape ; but they themselves shall be burn- 
ed asunder like beams. 

56 Moreover they cannot withstand any king or enemies : 
how can it then be thought or said that they be gods ? 

57 Neither are those a gods of wood, and laid over with a verse 39 
silver or gold, able to escape either from thieves or robbers. 

58 Whose gold, and silver, and garments wherewith they 
are clothed, they that are strong do take, and go away 
withal : neither are they able to help themselves. 

59 Therefore it is better to be a king b that sheweth his 
power, or else a profitable vessel in a house, which the 4 < ' 
owner shall have use of, than such false gods ; or to be a 
door in a house, to keep such things safe as be therein, than 
such false gods ; or a pillar of wood in a palace, than such 
false gods. 

60 For sun, moon, and stars, being bright, and sent to do 
their offices, are obedient. 

61 In like manner the lightning when it bieaketh forth is 
easy to be seen ; and || after the same manner the wind 
bloweth in every country. 

62 And when God commandeth the clouds to go over the 
whole world, c they do as they are bidden. 

63 And the fire sent from above to consume hills and 91 - 
woods doeth as it is commanded : but these are like unto 
them neither in shew nor power. 

64 Wherefore it is neither to be supposed nor said that 
they are gods, seeing d they are able neither to judge causes, <1 vise 54 
nor to do good unto men. 

65 Knowing therefore that they are no gods, fear them 
not. 

66 For they can neither curse nor bless kings : 

67 Neither can they shew e signs in the heavens among e Luke 21, 
the heathen, nor shine as the sun, nor give light as the moon. "• 

68 The beasts are better than they : for they can get un- 
der a covert, and help themselves. 

69 It is then by no means manifest unto us that they are 
gods : f therefore fear them not. tTfi? 3 16 " 

70 For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth 29 - b5> 
nothing : so are their gods of wood, and laid over with sil- 
ver and gold. 

71 And likewise their gods of wood, and laid over with 
silver and gold, are like to a white thorn in an orchard, that 
every bird sitteth upon ; as also to a dead body that is cast 
into the dark. 

72 s And ye shall know them to be no gods by the j| bright g verse 52. 
purple that rotteth upon them : and they themselves after- l n ^^ ht . 
ward shall be eaten, and shall be a reproach in the country. ness .

AND a they walked in the midst of the fire, praising God, 
and blessing the Lord. 

2 Then Azarias stood up, and prayed in this manner ; and 
opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, said, 

3 b Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers : thy 
name is worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore : 

4 For thou art righteous in all the things that thou hast 
done to us : yea, true are all thy works, thy ways are right, 
and c all thy judgments truth. 

5 In all the things which thou hast brought upon us, and 
upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, thou hast 
executed true judgment : for according to truth and judg- 
ment didst thou bring all these things upon us because of 
our sins. 

6 For we d have sinned and committed iniquity, depart- 
ing from thee. 

7 In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed thy 
commandments, nor kept them, neither done as thou hast 
commanded us, that it might go well with us. 

8 Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every 
thing that thou hast done to us, e thou hast done in true 
judgment. 

9 And thou didst deliver us into the hands of lawless 
'enemies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust 
king, and the most wicked in all the world. 

10 And now we cannot open our mouths, we are become 
a shame and reproach to thy servants, and to them that 
worship thee. 

11 Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's sake, 
g neither disannul thou thy covenant : 

12 And cause not thy mercy to depart from us, for thy 
beloved Abraham's sake, for thy servant Isaac's sake, and 
for thy holy Israel's sake ; 

13 To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou 
wouldest multiply their seed h as the stars of heaven, and 
as the sand that lieth upon the sea-shore. 

14 For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, 
and be kept under this day in all the world because of our 
sins. 

15 Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or 
leader, or burnt-offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, 
or place to sacrifice before thee, and to find mercy. 

16 Nevertheless in a ' contrite heart and a humble spirit 
let us be accepted. 

17 Like as in the burnt-offerings of rams and bullocks, 
and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs : so let our sacri- 
fice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly 
go after thee : '' for they shall not be confounded that put 
their trust in thee. 

18 And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear 
thee, and seek thy face. 

19 Put us not to shame : but deal with us after thy 
loving-kindness, and according to the ' multitude of thy 
mercies. 

20 Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and 
give glory to thy name, O Lord : and let all them that do 
thy servants hurt be ashamed ; 

21 And let them be confounded || in all their power and 
might, and let their strength be broken ; 

22 And let them know that thou art Lord, the only God, 
and glorious m over the whole world. 

23 And the king's servants, that put them in, ceased not 
to make the oven hot with || rosin, pitch, tow, and small 
wood ; 



24 So that the flame streamed forth above the furnace 
forty and nine cubits. 

25 And it passed through, and ■ burned those Chaldeans nDan.3,2& 
it found about the furnace. 

26 But the angel of the Lord came down into the oven 
together with Azarias and his fellows, and smote the flame 
of the fire out of the oven ; 

27 And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a 

|| moist whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at || Or, cool. 
all, neither hurt nor troubled them. 

28 Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorifi- 
ed, and blessed God in the furnace, saying, 

29 ° Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers : and o verse 3. 
to be praised and exalted above all for ever. 

30 And p blessed is thy glorious and holy name : and to pPs. 72, 19.

31 Blessed art thou in the 'temple of thy holy glory : qJonah2,4.

test upon the cherubims : and to be praised and exalted

33 Blessed art thou on the glorious throne of thy

ir The History of SUSANNA, set apart from the Beginning of Daniel, 
because it is not in the Hebrew, as neither the Narration of j* Bel and 
the Dragon. 

rilllERE dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim : 
-*- 2 And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the 
daughter of Chelcias, a a very fair woman, and one that fear- 
ed the Lord. 

3 Her '' parents also were righteous, and taught their 
daughter according to the law of Moses. 

4 Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair gar- 
den joining unto his house : and to him resorted the Jews ; 
because he was more honourable than all others. 

5 The same year were appointed two of c the ancients of 
the people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that 
wickedness came from Babylon from ancient judges, who 
seemed to govern the people. 

6 These kept much at Joacim's house : and all that had 
any suits in law came unto them. 

7 Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna 
went into her husband's garden to walk. 

8 And the two elders saw her going in every day, and 
walking ; d so that their lust was inflamed toward her. 

9 And they perverted their own mind, and turned away 
their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven, nor re- 
member just judgments. 

10 And albeit they both were wounded with her love, 
yet durst not one shew another his grief. 

1 1 For they were ashamed to declare their lust, that they 
desired to have to do with her.

13 And the one said to the other, Let us now go heme : 
for it is dinner-time. 

14 So when they were gone out, they parted the one 
from the other, and turning back again they came to the 
same place ; and after they had asked one another the cause, 
e they acknowledged their ' lust : then appointed they a 
time both together, when they might find her alone. 

i 5 And it fell out, a? they watched a fit time, she went in 
t as before with two maids only, and she was desirous to 
wash herself in the gp.rden : for it was hot. 

!6 And there was no body there save the two elders, that 
had hid themselves, and watched her. 

17 Then she said to her maids, Bring me oil and 
washing-balls, and shut the garden-doors, K that I 
wash me. 

18 And they did as she bade them, and shut the garden 
doors, and went out themselves at |] privy doors to fetch the jj her, and lay with her

19 Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders 
rose up, and ran unto her, saying, 

20 Behold, the garden-doors are shut, that no man can 
see us, and we are in love with thee ; therefore consent un 
to us, ' and lie with us. 

21 If thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that 
a young man was with thee : and therefore thou didst send 
away thy maids from thee. 

22 Then Susanna b sighed, and said, I am straitened on kfoeU.9,4 
every side : for if I do this thing, it is death unto me : and 
if I do it not, I cannot escape your hands. 

23 It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not to 
do it, than ' to sin in the sight of the Lord. 

24 With that Susanna cried with a loud voice : and th* 
two elders cried out against her. 

25 Then ran the one, and opened the garden-door. 

26 So when the servants of the house heard the cry in 
the garden, they rushed in at '" a privy door, to see what 
was done unto her. 

27 But when the elders had declared their matter, the 
servants were greatly ashamed : for there never was such 
a report made of Susanna. 

28 And it came to pass the next day, when the people 
were assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came 
also full of" mischievous imagination against Susanna to put 
her to death ; 

29 And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the 
daughter of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. And so they sent. 

30 So she came with her father and mother, her children, 
and all her kindred. 

31 Now Susanna was a very delicate woman, and ° beau- 
teous to behold. 

32 And these wicked men commanded to uncover her 
face, (for she was covered) that they might be filled with 
her beauty. 

33 Therefore her friends and all that saw her wept. 

34 Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the peo- 
ple, p and laid their hands upon her head. 

35 And she weeping looked up toward heaven : for her 
heart trusted in the Lord. 

36 And the elders said, As we walked in the garden alone, 
this woman came in with two maids, and shut the garden- 
's doors, and sent the maids away. 

37 Then a young man, who there was hid, came unto

39 And when we saw them together, the man we could 
not hold : for he was stronger than we, and opened the door, 
and leaped out. 

40 But having taken this woman, we asked who the young 
man was, but she would not tell us ; r these things do we 
testily. 

41 Then the assembly believed them, as those that were 
the elders and judges of the people : so they condemned 
her to death. 

42 Then Susanna ' cried out with a loud voice, and said, 
O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest 
all tilings before they be : 

43 Thou knowest that they have borne false witness 
against me, and behold, I must die ; whereas I never did 
such things as these men have maliciously invented against 
inc. 

44 And the ' Lord heard her voice. 

45 Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the 
Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth, whose name 
was Daniel : 

46 Who cried with a loud voice, u I am clear from the 
blood of this woman. 

47 Then all the people turned them toward him, and 
said, What mean these words that thou hast spoken ? 

48 So he stan-ding in the midst of them said, Are ye 
such * fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination

of Israel 1 

49 Return again to the place of judgment : for they have 
▼ Ex. 20, 10. 7 borne f dse witness against her. 

50 Wherefore all the people turned again in haste, and 
the elders said unto him, Come, sit down among us, and 
shew it us, seeing God hath given thee the honour of an 
elder. 

51 Then said Daniel unto them, Put these two aside one 
far from another, z and I will examine them. 

52 So when they were put asunder one from another, he

4 ND king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, and 
■£*■ "Cyrus of Persia received his kingdom. 

2 And Daniel || conversed with the king, and was honour- 
ed above all his friends. 

3 Now the Babylonians had an idol, called Bel, and there 
were spent upon him every day twelve measures of fine 
flour, and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine. 

4 And the king worshipped it, and went daily to adore 
it : h but Daniel worshipped his own God. And the king 
said unto him, Why dost not thou worship Bel ? 

5 Who answered and said, Because 1 may not worship 
idols made with hands, but the living God, c who hath cre- 
ated the heaven and the earth, and bath sovereignty over 
all llesh. 

6 Then said the king unto him, Thinkest thou not that 
Bel is a living God ? seest thou not how mucli he eateth 
and drinketh every day ? 

7 Then Daniel smiled, and said, O king, be not deceived : 
for this is but clay within, and brass without, and did never 
d cat or drink any lhin<r. 

1} So-the kine was wroth, and called (or his priests, and 
said unto them. If ye tell me not who this is that devoureth 
e these expenses ye shall die. 

9 But if ye can certify me that Bel devoureth them, then 
Daniel shal! die : for he hath spoken blasphemy against Bel. 
And Daniel saiJ unto the king, Let it be according to thy 
word. 

10 Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, be- 



sides their wives and children. And the king went with 
Daniel into the temple of Bel. 

11 So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go out: but thou, O 
king, set on the meat, and make ready the wine, and shut 

the door fast, and ' seal it with thine own signet ; fDan.0, 17 

12 And to-morrow when thou comest in, if thou findest 
not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death ; or else 
Daniel, that speak etli falsely 'against us. 

13 And they little regarded it : e for under the table they g verse a. 
had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in con- 
tinually, and consumed those things. 

14 So when they were gone forth, the king set meats be- 
fore Bel. Now DanicJ had commanded his servants to bring 
ashes, and those they strewod throughout all the temple in 
the presence of the king alone : then went they out and 
shut the door, and sealed it with the king's signet, and so 
departed. 

15 Now in the night came the priests h with their wives h vcrw KK 
and children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drink 

up all. 

16 In the morning betimes the king arose, and Daniel 
with him, 

17 And the kin? said, Daniel, are the 'seals whole ? And > vesr.-c IV 
he said, Yea, O king, they be whole.

21 And took the priest? with their wives and children,

consumed such things as - were' upon the table. 

22 Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel irc-

Lord my God . for- he is; the living Ged. 

26 But give me leave, © king, an*. 1 shall' slay this dragon 
without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave. 

27 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did 
seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: this- he put 
in the dragon's mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder : 
and Daniel said, |j: Lo>, these are the gods ye worship.

indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king 
is become a Jew, and lie hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain 
the dragon, and put the priests to death.

/^fc LORD, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed ; who hast made

repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee : and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repent-

repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee ; but thou hast appoint- 
ed lepentance unto me that am a sinner : for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgres-

17 Wherefore ' he entered into Egypt with a great mul- 
titude, with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a 
great navy, 

1 8 And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt : but 
Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled ; and many were 
wounded to death. 

19 Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt, 
and he took the spoils thereof. ** 

20 And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he re- 
kDan.8,12. turned again in the hundred forty and third year, k and went 

up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude, 

21 And J entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took 
away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all 
the vessels thereof 

22 And the table of the shew-bread, and the pouring 
vessels, and the vials, and the censers of gold, and the vail, 
and the crowns, and the golden ornaments that were before 
the temple, || all which he pulled off. 

23 He took also the silver and the gold, and the t precious 
vessels: also he took the hidden treasures which he found. 

24 And when he had taken all away, he went into his own 
land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly. 

25 Therefore there was m great mourning in Israel, in 
every place where they were ; 

2b' So "that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins 
and young men were made feeble, and the beauty of women 
was changed. 

27 Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she that 
sat in the marriage-chamber was in heavine:-s. 

20 The land also was moved for the inhabitants thereof, 
and all the house of Jacob was covered with " confusion. 

29 And after two years fully expired, tho king sent his 
chief collector of tribute unto the cities of Juda, who came 
unto Jerusalem with a great multitude ; 

30 And spake peaceable words unto thein, but rill was 
p deceit : for when they had given him credence, he fell 
suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, and de- 
stroyed much people of Israel. 

31 And when he had taken the spoils of the city, ''he 
set it on fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof 
on every side. 

32 But the women and children took they captive, and 
possessed the cattle. 

33 Then builded they the city of David with a great 
and strong wall, and with mighty towers, and made it a 
strong hold for them.

and fortified themselves therein.

36 For it was a place to lie in wait against the * sanctuary, 
and an evil adversary to Israel. 

37 Thus they shed innocent blood on every side of the 
sanctuary, and defiled it : 

3-8 Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled be- 
cause of them : whereupon .the city was made a habitation 
of strangers, and became strange to those that were born in 
her ; and her own children left her. 

3-9 ' Her sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness, her t See Lam. 
feasts were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into re- ] ' J 4 ' 
proach, her honour into contempt. 

40 As had been her glory, so was her dishonour in- 
creased, and her excellency was turned into mourning. 

4f Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, 
that all should be one people, 

42 And every one should leave his laws : so all the hea- 
then agreed according to the commandment of "the king. 

43 Yea, x many also of the Israelites consented to his 
religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath. 

44 For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Je- 
rusalem and the cities of Juda, that they should follow || the II Or, tht 
strange laws of the land, «£5&i 

45 And forbid burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and drink- strangers 
offerings, in the temple ; and that they should profane the "/ 'A«.lunA 
sabbaths and festival days : 

46 And pollute the sanctuary and 7 holy people : 

47 Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols, and yEx. 19, « 
sacrifice swine's flesh, and unclean beasts ; 

48 That they should also leave z their children uncircum- z Gen. 17, 
cised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of 9- 14 ' 
uncleanness and profanation : 

49 To the end they might forget the law, and change all 
the ordinances. 

50 And whosoever would not do according to the com- 
mandment of the king, he said, he should die. 

•51 In the self-same manner wrote he to his whole king- 
dom, and appointed overseers over all the people,- com- 
manding the cities of Juda to sacrifice, a city by city. 

52 Then many of the people were gathered unto them, 
to wit, every one that forsook the law ; and so they com- 
mitted evils in the land ; 

53 II And drove the Israelites into secret places, even 
wheresoever they could flee for succour, 

54 Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the themselves 
hundred forty and fifth year, b they set up the abomination in holes in 
of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol-altars through- ^ ^^r 
out the cities of Juda on every side ; t>Sec2Chr.

in the streets. 

56 And when they had rent in pieces the books of the 
law which they found, they burnt them with fire. 

57 And wheresoever was found with any the book of the 
testament, or if any consented to the law, t the king's com- t.Gr. tht 
mandment was, that they should put him to death. mlndmenT 

58 Thus did they by their authority unto the Israelites put him t» 
every month, to as many as were found in the cities. death. 

59 Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did 
sacrifice upon the idol-altar, which was upon the altar of God. 

60 At which time according to the commandment they 

put to death certain women, t that had caused their children f Or. tt.-rf 
to be circumcised. CiW , /im 

61 And they hanged the infants about their necks, and ,.,„•/,/,.„,, 
rifled their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them, verse 41 

62 Howbeit many in Israel were fully resolved and con- 
firmed in themselves not to eat any unclean Hung. 

63 Wherefore they chose rather to die, that they might 
not be defiled with meats, and that they might not profane 
the holy covenant: so then they died. 

64 And there was very great wrath upon Israel.

6 Arid when he saw the blasphemies that were commit- 
ted in Juda and Jerusalem, 

7 He said, Wo is me t wherefore was I born to see this 
misery of my people, and of the holy city, and to dwell 
there, when it was delivered into the hand of the enemy, 
and the sanctuary into the hand of strangers ?' 

8 Her temple is become as a man ■ without glory. 

9 b Her glorious vessels are carried away into captivity, 
her infants are slain in the streets, her young men with the 
sword of the enemy. 

10 What nation hath not had a part in her kingdom, and 
gotten of her spoils I 

11 Alt her ornaments are taken away ;. of a free woman 
she is become a bond slave. 

12 And behold, our ||; sanctuary, even our beauty and our 
glbry, is laid waste, and the Gentiles have profaned it. 

13 To what end therefore shall we live any longer ? 

14 Then Mattathias and his sons ° rent their clothes, and 
put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore. 

15 lu the mean while the king's d officers, such as com- 
pelled the people to revolt, came into the city Modin, to 
make them sacrifice. 

16 And when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias 
also and his sons came together. 

17 Then answered the king's officers, and said to Matta- 
thias on this wise, Thou art a ruler, and an honourable 
and great man in this city, and strengthened with sons and 
brethren : 

18 Now therefore come thou first, and fulfil the king's 
commandment, like as all the heathen have done, yea, and 
the men of Juda also, and such as remain at Jerusalem i so 
shalt thou and thy house he in the number of the king's 
friends, and thou and thy children shall be honoured with 
silver and gold, and many rewards. 

19 Then Mattathias answered and spake with e a loud 
voice, Though all the nations that are under the king's do- 
minion obey him, and fall away every one from the religion 
of their fathers, and give consent to his commandments : 

20. Yet will I l and my sons and my brethren walk m the 
covenant of our fathers. 

21 God forbid that we should forsake B the law and the 
ordinances. 

22 We will not hearken to the king's words, to go from 
our religion, either on the right hand, or the left. 

23 Now when he had left speaking these words, there 
came one of the Jews in the sight of all to sacrifice on the 
altar which was at Modin, according to the king's command- 
ment. 

24 Which thing when Mattathias saw, he was b inflamed 
with zeal, and his reins trembled, neither could he forbear 
to shew his anger according to judgment : wherefore he ran, 
'and slew: him upon the altar. 

25 Also the king's commissioner, who compelled men to 
sacrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled 
down. 

26 Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God, like as 
k Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom. 

27 And Mattathias cried throughout the city with a loud 
voice, saying, Whosoever is zealous of the law, and main- 
taineth the covenant, let him follow me. 

28 So he and his sons fled into ' the mountains, and left 
all that ever they had in the city. 

29 Then many that sought after justice and judgment 
went down into the wilderness, to t dwell there : 

30 Both they, and their children, and their wives, and 
their cattle ; because t afflictions increased sore upon them. 

31 Now when it xvas told the king's servants, and •'" the 
host that was at Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain

men, who had broken the king's commandment, were gone 
down into the secret places in the wilderness, 

32 They pursued after them a great number, and having 
overtaken them, they camped against them, and made war 
against them on the sabbath-day. 

33 And they said unto them, Let that which ye have done 
hitherto suffice ; come forth, and do according to the com- 
mandment of the king, and ye shall live. 

34 But they said, " We will not come forth, neither will 
we do the king's commandment, to profane the sabbath-day. 

35 So then, they gave || them the battle with alt speed. 

36 Howbeit they answered them not, neither cast they a ^ ews - 
stone at them, nor stopped the places where they lay hid ; 

37 But said, Let us die all in our t innocency r heaven f Gr. «»- 
and earth shall testify for us,, that ye put us to death **«%• 
wrongfully. 

38 So they rose up against them in battle on the sabbath, 

and they slew them, with their wives and children, and oHeb. H. 
their cattle, to the number of a thousand f people. ^7. . 

39 Now when Mattathias and his friends understood Ifme^" 
hereof, they mourned for them right sore. 

40 And one of them said to another, If we all do as our 
brethren have done, and fight not for our lives and laws 
against the heathen, they will now quickly '' root us out of pPs. 83, * 
the earth. 

41 At that time therefore they decreed, saying, Whoso- 
ever shall come to. make battle with us on the sabbath-day, 
we will fight against him ; neither will we die all, as our 
brethren that were murdered in q the secret places. 

42 Then, came there unto him a company of Assideans, 
who were mighty men of Israel, even all such as were 
voluntarily devoted unto the law. 

43 Also all they that r fled for persecution joined them- 
selves unto them, and were a stay unto them. 

44 So they joined their forces, and smote sinful men in 
their anger, and wicked men in their wrath: but the rest 
fled to the heathen for succour. 

45 Then Mattathias and his friends went round about, and 
pulled down * the altars t 

46 And what children soever they found within the coast 
of Israel uncircumcised, those they circumcised || valiantly. 

47 They pursued also after the proud men, and the work f m ^ e - 
prospered in their hand. 

48 So they recovered ' the law out of the hand of the t See ch. i. 

Gentiles, and out of the hand of kinss, neither t suffered ?7,

4? Now when the time drew near that Mattathias should 
die, he said unto his sons, Now hath pride and rebuke got- 
ten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of 
indignation : 

50 Now therefore, my sons, be ye zealous for the law, 
" and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers. 

51 Call to remembrance what acts our fathers did in their 4 " 
t time ; so shall ye receive great honour and an everlasting f Gr. ge

10 Then Apollonius gathered the Gentiles together, and 
a great host out of Samaria, to tight against Israel. 

1 1 W r hich thing when Judas perceived, he went forth 
to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew hitn : many 
also fell down slain, but the rest fled. 

12 Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius' 
sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long. 

13 Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, 
heard say that Judas had gathered unto him a ' multitude 
and company of the faithful to go out with him to war ; 

14 He said, I will get me a name and honour in the king- 
dom ; for I will go tight with Judas and them that are with 
him, who despise the king's commandment. 

15 So he made him ready to go up, and there went with 
him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be 
avenged of the children of Israel. 

16 And when he came near to the going up of * Betb- 



10. & 16, 3. horon, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company . 

17 Who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, 
said unto Judas, How shall we be able, being so few, to 
fight against so great a multitude <md so strong, seeing we 
are ready to fiiut with fasting all this day ? 

18 Unto whom Judas answered, * It is no hard matter 
for many to be shut up in the hands of a few ; and with the 
God of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multi- 
tude, or a small company :

about them : 

26 Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all na- 
tions talked of the battles of Judas. 

27 Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was 

full of indignation : m wherefore he sent and gathered to- m Ps. 83,2. 
gether all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army. 

28 He opened also his treasure, and give his soldiers pay 

for a year, commanding them to be ready t whensoever he f Gr. at 
should need them. eeer y *«■*- 

29 Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his 
treasures fiiled, and t that the tributes in the country were fGr.'ffioja* 
small, because of the di.-;sension and plague which he had cuUet-.tars 
brought upon the land, || in taking away the laws which had "„ thecov.n.

31 Wherefore, being greatly "perplexed in his mind, he should not

the countries, and to gather much money. 

32 So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood 
royal, to oversee the affairs of the king from ° the river Eu- 
phrates unto the borders of Egypt : 

33 And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again. 

34 Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his for- 
ces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things 
that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt 
in Juda and Jerusalem : 

35 To wit, that he should send an army against them, to 
destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the p rem- ptb. 1,3ft, 
nant of Jerusalem, and to take away their memorial from 

that place ; 

36 And that he should place strangers in all their quar- 
ters, and divide their land by lot. 

37 So the king took the half of the forces that remained, 

and departed from Antioch, this royal city, the hundred fGr. a city 
forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Eu- j^"* 7 "*" 
phrates, he went through the high countries. 

38 Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes, 

and Nicanar,andGorgias, mighty men ''of the king's friends : <i '•' *. '*• 

39 And with them he sent forty thousand footmen, and 
seven thousand horsemen, to go into the land of Juda, and 
to destroy it, as the king commanded. 

40 So tiiey went forth with all their power, and came and 
pitched hy ' Emmaus in the p)aip country. 

41 And the merchants of the country, heaving the fame 
of them, took silver .m<\ gold very much, with |j servants, ROr,

slaves : a power also of Syria and of the land || of the Philis- (Or, °f^

estate of our people, and let us fight for our people and 
the sanctuary. 

44 Then was the congregation gathered together, that 
they might be ready for battle, l and that they might pray, 
and ask mercy and compassion. 

45 Now Jerusalem lay u void as a wilderness, there was 
none of her children that went in or out : * the sanctuary 
also was trodden down, and aliens kept the strong hold ; 
the heathen had their habitation in that place; and joy was 
taken from Jacob, and the pipe with the harp ceased. 

46 Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves to- 
gether, and came to j] Maspha, over against Jerusalem ; for 
in Maspha was the place where they prayed aforetime in 
Israel. 

47 Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and 
cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes, 

48 And laid open the book of the law, ]| wherein the 
heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images. 

49 They brought also the priest's garments, and the first

which the 
heathen had 
made dili- 



gent search, fruits, and the tithes : and the y Nazarites they stirred up, 
who had accomplished their days. 

' 50 Then cried they with a loud voice toward heaven, 
saying, What shall we do with these, and whither shall we 
carry them away 1 

51 z For thy -=anctuary is trodden down and profaned, 
and thy priests are in heaviness, and brought low. 

52 And lo, the heathen are assembled together against 
us to destroy us : what things they imagine against us, thou 
knowest. 

53 a How shall we be able to stand against them, except 
thou, O God, be our help ? 

54 Then sounded they with trumpets, anc cried with a 
loud voice 

55 And after this Judas ordained captains over the peo- 
ple, even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and 
over fifties, and over tens. 

56 But as for such as b were building houses, or had be- 
trothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or c were fearful, 
those he commanded that they should return, every man to 
his own house, according to the law. 

57 So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side 
of d Emmaus. 

58 And Judas said, Arm yourselves, and be valiant men, 
and see that ye be in readiness against the morning, that ye 
may fight with these nations, that are assembled together 
against us to destroy us and our sanctuary : 

59 ' For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold 
the calamities of our people and our sanctuary. 

60 Nevertheless, f as the will of God is in heaven, so 
let him do. 

CHAP. IV.

-*- sand of the best horsemen, and removed out of the 
camp by night ; 

2 To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the 
Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the for- 
tress were his guides. 

3 Now when Judas heard, thereof, he himself removed, 
and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king's

from us. 

6 But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself in the 
plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had nei-

7 And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was 
strong and well harnessed, and compassed round about with

Apocrypha. 

9 Remember how our fathers were delivered in the Red 
Sea, when Pharaoh pursued them with an army. 

10 Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if perad- 
venture the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember 
the covenant of our fathers, and destroy thi3 host before 
our face this day : 

1 1 That so all the heathen may know that there is one 
who delivereth and saveth Israel. 

12 Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them 
coming over against them. 

13 Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle ; but 
they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets. 

14 So they joined battle, and the heathen being discom- 
fited fled into the plain. 

15 Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with 
the sword : for they pursued them unto t Gazera, and unto t Gr. Ass»- 
the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there remotk - 
were slain of them about three thousand men. 

16 This done, Judas returned again with his host from 
pursuing them, 

17 And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoils, 
inasmuch as there is a battle before us, 

18 And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the moun- 
tain : but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome 
them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils. 

1 9 As Judas was yet speaking these words, there appear- 
ed a part of them looking out of the mountain : 

20 Who when they perceived that the Jews had put 
their host to flight, and were burning the tents ; for the 
smoke that was seen declared what was done : 

21 When therefore they perceived these things, they 
were sore afraid, and seeing also the host of Judas in the 
plain ready to light, 

22 They fled every one into the land of strangers. 

23 Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, where they 
got much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the 
sea, and great riches. 

24 After this they went home, and sung a song of thanks- 
giving, and praised the Lord in heaven : because it is good, 
because his mercy ertdureth for ever. 

25 Thus Israel had a great deliverance that day. 

26 Now all the strangers that had escaped came and told 
Lj'sias what had happened : 

27 Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and dis- 
couraged, because neither such things as he would were 
done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded 
him were come to pass. 

23 The next year therefore following, Lysias gathered 
together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five 
thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them. 

29 So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at 
Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men, 

30 And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed, and 

said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, d who didst quell d i Sam. 17, 
the violence of the mighty man hy the hand of thy servant 50 > 51 - 
David, and gavest the host of j| strangers into the hands of j|Or, 
e Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armour-bearer; 

31 Shut up this army in the hand of thy people 
Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and 
horsemen : 

32 Make them to be. of no courage, and cause the bold- 
ness of their strength to t fall away, and let them quake at t Gr auii- 
their destruction : 

33 Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, 
and let all those that know thy name praise thee with 
thanksgiving. 

34 So they joined battle ; and there were slain of the 
host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them 
were they slain. 

35 Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the 
manliness of Judas' soldiers, and how they were ready 
either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and 
gathered together a company of strangers, and having made

his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again un- 
to JuJea. 

36 Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our ene- 
i Or, repair, mies are discomfited : let us go up to cleanse and || dedicate 

the sanctuary. 

37 Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, 
and went up into mount Sion. 

38 And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the 
altar profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs grow- 
ing in the courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, 
yea, and the priests' chambers pulled down ; 

39 They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, 
and cast ashes upon their heads, 

40 And fell down flat to the ground upon their faces, and 
blew an alarm with the trumpets, and cried" toward heaven. 

41 Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against 
those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the 
sanctuary. 

42 So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such 
as had pleasure in the law : 

43 Who cleansed the sanctuary, and bare out the defiled 
stones unto an unclean place. 

44 And when as they consulted what to do with the altar 
of burnt-offerings, which was prof ined ; 

45 They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be 
a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it : 
wherefore they pulled it down, 

46 And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple 
in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to 
shew what should be done with them. 

47 Then they took whole stones f according to the law, 
and built a new altar according to the former ; 

48 And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were 
within the temple, and hallowed the courts. 

49 Thej' made also new holy vessels, and into the tem- 
ple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt- 
offerings, and of incense, and the table. 

50 And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps 
that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might 
give light in the temple. 

51 Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and 
JOr, spread |[ spread out the vails, and finished all the works which they 
•broad the ha( j be to make> 

•r, hanged 52 Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, 
itpihe vaib. which is called the month Cas'leu, in the hundred forty and 
eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning, 

53 And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the 
new altar of burnt-offerings, which they had made. 

54 Look, at what time and what d;iy the heathen had 
profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and 
citherns, and harps, and cymbals. 

55 Then all the people fell upon their faces, worship- 
ping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them 
good success. 

56 And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight 
days, and offered burnt-offerings with gladness, and sacri- 
ficed the sacrifice of || deliverance and praise. 

57 They decked also the fore-front of the temple with 
crowns of gold, and with shields ; and the gates and the 
chambers they || renewed, and || hanged doors upon them. 

58 Thus was there very great gladness among the peo- 
vui'de doors p'c, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away. 

*or Hum. 59 Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole con- 

gregation of Israel ordained, that the clays of the dedication 
of the altar should be kept in their season from year to 
year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth 
da}' of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness. 

60 At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with 
high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles 
should come and tread it down, as they had done before. 

61 And they set there a garrison to keep it, and fortified 
Ecthsura to preserve it ; that the people might have a de- 
fence against Idumea.

"1VTOW when the nations round about heard that the altar

2 Wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of

6 Afterward he passed over to. the children of Ambon, 31,32. 
where he found a mighty power, and much people, with 
Timotheus their captain. 

7 So he fought many battles with them, till at length they 
were discomfited before him ; and he smote them. 

8 And when he had taken Jazar, with the towns belong- 
ing thereto, he returned into Judea. 

9 Then the heathen that were at Galaad assembled them- 
selves together against the Israelites that were in their 
quarters, to destroy them, but they fled to the fortress of 
Dathema, 

10 And sent letters unto Judas and his brethren, The 
heathen that are round about us are assembled together 
against us to destroy us : 

1 1 And they are preparing to come and take the fortress 
whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their 
host. • 

12 Come now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, 
for many of us are slain : 

13 Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Tobic 
are put to death : their wives and their children also they 
have carried away captives, and borne away their stuff; 
and the}' have destroyed there about a thousand men. 

14 While these letters were yet reading, behold, there 
came other messengers from Galilee with their clothes rent. 
who reported on this wise, 

15 And said, They of Ptolemais,and of Tyrus, and Sidon 
and all Galilee of the Gentiles, are assembled together 
against us to consume us. 

16 Now when Judas and the people heard these words, 
there assembled a great congregat ">n together, to consul, 
what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, 
and assaulted of them. 

17 Then said Judas unto Simon his brother, Choose thee 
out men, and go and deliver thy brethren that arc- in Gali- 
lee, for I and Jonathan my brother will go into the country 
of Galaad. 

18 So he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, 
captains of the people, with the remnant of the host in Ju- 
dea to keep it. 

19 Unto whom he give commandment, saying, Take yt 
the charge of this people, and see that ye make not war 
against the heathen until the time that we come again. 

20 Now unto Simon were given three thousand men to 
go into Galilee, and unto Judas eight thousand men for the 
country of Galaad. 

21 Then went Simon into Galilee, where he fought many 
battles with the heathen, so that the heathen were discom- 
fited by him. 

22 And he pursued them unto the gate of Ptolemais , 
and there were stain of the heathen about three thousa.TQ 
men, whose sjvoils he took.

over Jordan, and travelled three days' journey in the wil- 
derness, 

25 Where they-met with the Nabathites, who came unto 
them in peaceable manner, and told them every thing that 
had happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad : 

26 And how that many of them were shut up in || Bosora, 
and Bosor, and Alema, )| Casphor, Maked, and Carnaim ; 
all these cities are strong and great : 

27 And that they were shut up in the rest of the cities 
of the country of Galaad, and that against to-morrow || they 

faheathe*. had appointed to bring their hosts against the forts, and to 
take them, and to destroy them all in one day. 
~ 28 Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the 

|Or,B<wor. way of the wilderness unto || Bosora ; and when he had 
won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the 
sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with lire. 

29 From whence lie removed by night, and went till he 
came to the fortress. 

30 And betimes in the morning they | looked up, and 
behold, there was an innumerable people bearing ladders 
and other engines of war, to take the fortress : for || they 
assaulted them. 

31 When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, 
and that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trum- 
pets, and a great sound, 

32 He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren. 

33 So he went forth behind them in three companies, 
who sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer. 

34 Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was 
Maccabeus, lied from him : wherefore he smote them with 
a great slaughter ; so that there were killed of them that 
day about eight thousand men. 

35 This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha ; and after 
he had assaulted it, he took it, and slew all the males therein, 
and received the spoils thereof, and burnt it with lire. 

36 From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, 
Bosor, and the other cities of the country of Galaad. 

37 After these things gathered Timotheus another host, 
and encamped against Raphon beyond the brook. 

38 So Judas sent men to espy the host, who brought him 
word, saying, All the heathen that be round about us are 
assembled unto them, even a very great host. 

39 He hath also hired the Arabians to help them, and they 
have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to come 
and fight against thee. Upon this Judas went to meet them. 

40 Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, 
When Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass 
over first unto us, we shall not. be able to withstand him ; 
for he will mightily prevail against us : 

41 But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we 
shall go over unto him, and prevail against him. 

42 Now when Judas came near the brook, he caused the 
scribes of the people to remain by the brook : unto whom 
he gave commandmevit, saying, Suffer no man to remain in 
the camp, but let all come to the battle. 

43 So he went first over unto them, and all the people 
after him : then all the heathen, being discomfited before 
him, cast away their weapons, and fled unto the temple that 
was at Carnaim. 

44 But || they took the city, and burned the temple with 
all that were therein. Thus was Carnaim subdued, neither! 
could they stand any longer before Judas. 

45 Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites that 
were in the country of Galaad, from the least unto the 
greatest, even their wives, and their children, and their 
stuff, a very great host, to the end they might come into 
the 1 md of Judea. 

46 Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a great 
city in the way as they should go, very well fortified) thov 
Could not- turn from it, either on the right hand or the 



(Lrna'as and 



48 Whereupon Judas sent unto them in peaceable man- 
ner, saying, Let us pass through your land to go into our 
own country, and none shall do you any hurt ; we will only 
pass through on foot : howbeit they would not open unto him. 

49 Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be 
made throughout the host, that every man should pitch his 
tent in the place where he was. 

50 So the soldiers pitched, and assaulted the city all that 
day and all that night, till at length the city was delivered 
into his hands : 

51 Who then slew all the males with the edge of the 
sword,- and rased the city, and took the spoils thereof, and 
passed through the city over them that were slain. 

52 After this went they over Jordan into the great plain 
before Bethsan. 

53 And Judas gathered together those that || came behind, 
and || exhorted the people all the way through, till they 
came into the land of Judea. 

54 So they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, 
where they offered || burnt-offerings, because not one of 
them were slain until they had returned in peace. 

55 Now what time as Judas and Jonathan were in the land 
of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais, 

56 Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of 
the garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds 
which they had done. 

57 Wherefore they said, Let us also get us a name, and 
go fight against the heathen that are round about us. 

58 So when they had given charge unto the garrison that 
was with them, they went toward Jamnia. 

59 Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city t to 
fight against them. 

60 And so it was, that Joseph and Azarias were put to 
flight, and pursued unto the borders of Judea : and there were 
slain that day of the people of Israel about two thousand men. 

61 Thus was there a great overthrow among the children 
of Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and 
his brethren, but thought to do some valiant act. 

62 Moreover these men came not of the seed of those, 
by whose hand deliverance was given unto Israel. 

63 Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly 
renowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, 
wheresoever their name was heard of; 

64 Insomuch as the people assembled unto them with 
joyful acclamations. 

65 Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and 
fought against the children of Esau in the land toward the 
south, where he smote Hebron, and the t towns thereof, 
and pulled down the fortress of it, and burned the towers 
thereof round about. 

66 From thence he removed to go into the land of | the 
Philistines, and passed through Samaria. 

67 At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their 
valour, were slain in battle, for that they went out to fight 
unadvisedly. 

68 So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Philis- 
tines, and when he had pulled down their altars, and burned 
their carved images with fire, and spoiled their cities, he 
returned into the land of Judea.

Apocrypha.. 

5 Jloreover there came one who brought him tidings 
into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of 
Judea, were put to flight : 

6 And that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power, 
was driven away of the Jews ; and that they were made 
strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which 
they had gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed : 

7 Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which 
he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they 
had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as be- 
fore, and his city Bethsura. 

8 Now when the king heard these words, he was asto- 
nished and sore moved : whereupon he laid hini down upon 
his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen 
him as he looked for. 

9 And there he continued many days : for his grief was 
ever more and more, and he made account that he should die. 

10 Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto 
them, The sleep is gone fram mine eyes, and my heart 
faileth for very care. 

1 1 And 1 thought with myself, Into what tribulation am 1 
come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now 1 
am ! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power. 

12 But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusa- 
lem, and that 1 took all the vessels of gold and silver that 
were therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea 
without a cause. 

13 1 perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles 
are come upon me, and behold, I perish through great grief 
in a strange land. 

14 Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, whom 
he made ruler over all his realm, 

15 And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his sig- 
net, to the end || he should bring up his son Antiochus, and 
nourish him up for the kingdom. 

16 So king Antiochus died there in the hundred forty 
and ninth year. 

17 Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he 
set up Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up, being 
young, to reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator. 

18 About this time they that were in the tower shut up 
the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always 
their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen. 

19 Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called 
all the people together to besiege them. 

20 So they came together, and besieged them in the hun- 
dred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against 
them, and other engines. 

21 Howbeit, certain of them that were besieged got forth, 
unto whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves : 

22 And they went unto the king, and said, How long will 
it be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our brethren ? 

23 We have been willing tc serve thy father, and to do 
as he would have us, and to obey his commandments ; 

24 For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, 
and are alienated from us : moreover as many of us as they 
could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance. 

25 Neither have they stretched out their hand against 
us only, but also against all their borders. 

26 And behold, this day are they besieging the tower at 
Jerusalem, to take it : the sanctuary also and Bethsura have 
they fortified. 

27 Wherefore if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they 
will do greater things than these, neither shalt thou be able 
to rule them. 

28 Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and 
gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his 
army, and those that had charge of the horse. 

29 There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and 
from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers. 

30 So that the number of his army was a hundred thou- 
sand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and 
thirty elephants exercised in battle.

31 These went through Idumea, and pitched against Before 
Bethsura, which they assaulted many days, making engines 
of war ; but they of Bethsura came out, and burned them 
with fire, and fought valiantly. 

32 Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched 
in Bathzacharias, over against the king's camp. 

33 Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with 
his host toward Bathzacharias, where his armies made them 
read)' to battle, and sounded the trumpets. 

34 And to the end they might provoke the elephants to 
fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries. 

35 Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, 
and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, 
armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their 
heads ; and besides this, for every beast were ordained five 
hundred horsemen of the best. 

36 These were ready at every occasion : wheresoever 
the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went 
also, neither departed they from him. 

37 And upon the beasts were there strong towers of 
wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast 
unto them with devices : there were also upon every one 
two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, besides 
the Indian that ruled him. 

38 As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them 
on this side and that side at the two parts of the host,

40 So part of the king's army being spread upon the high with the 
mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on valleys. 
safely and in order. 

41 Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, 
and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the 
harness, were moved : for the army was very great and 
mighty. 

42 Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into 
battle, and there were slain of the king's army six hundred 
men. 

43 Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one 
of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all 
the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him, 

44 Put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver 
his people, and get him a perpetual name : 

45 Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through 
the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the 
left, || so that they were divided from him on both sides. 

48 Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust 
him under, and slew him : whereupon the elephant fell 
down upon him, and there he died. 

47 Howbeit, the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the 
king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them. 

48 IT Then the king's army went up to Jerusalem to 
meet them, and the king pitched his tents || against Judea, 
and against mount Sion. 

49 But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace : 
|| for they came out of the city, because they had no 
victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest 
to the land. 

50 So the king took Bethsura, and set a garrison there 
to keep it. 

51 As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days : and 
|| set there artillery with engines and instruments to cast 
fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings. 

52 Whereupon || they also made engines against their 
engines, and held them battle a long season. 

53 Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, 
(for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that 
were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue 
of the store ;)

the famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain m of them threescore men 
to disperse themselves, every man to his own place. 

55 At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom An- 
tiochus the king, while he lived, had appointed to bring up 
his son Antiochus, that he might be king, 

56 Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king's 
host also that went with him, and that he sought to take un- 
to him the ruling of the affairs. 

57 Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king 
and the captains of the host and the company, We decay 
daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay 
siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie 
upon us : 

58 Now therefore let us t be friends with these men, and 
give hands. ma k e peace with them, and with all their nation ; 

59 And covenant with them, that they shall live after 
their laws, as they did before : for they are therefore dis- 
pleased, and have done all these things, because we abolish- 
ed their laws. 

60 So the king and the princes were content : wherefore 
he sent unto them to make peace ; and they accepted thereof. 

61 Also the king and the princes made an oath unto 
them : whereupon they went out of the strong hold. 

62 Then the king entered into mount Sion ; but when 
he saw the strength of the place, he brake his oath that he 
had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall 
round about. 

63 Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto 
Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city : 
so he fought against him, and took the city by force. 

CHAP. VII. 

~TN the hundred and one and fiftieth year Demetrius the 

-■• son of Seleucus departed from Rome, and came up with 

a few men unto || a city of the sea-coast, and reigned there. 

2 And as he entered into the j palace of his ancestors, 
so it was, that his forces had taken Antiochus and Lysias, 
to bring them unto him. 

3 Wherefore, when he knew it, he said, Let me not see 
their faces. 

4 So his host slew them. Now when Demetrius was set 
upon the throne of his kingdom, 

5 There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly men 
of Israel, having Alcimus, who was desirous to be high 
priest, for their captain : 

6 And they accused the people to the king, saying, Judas 
and his brethren have slain all thy friends, and driven us 
out of our own land. 

7 Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and 
let him go and see what havock he hath made among us, 
and in the king's land, and let him punish them with all them 
that aid them. 

8 Then the king chose Bacchides, a friend of the king, 
who ruled beyond the flood, and was a great man in- the 
kingdom, and faithful to the king. 

9 And him he sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he 
made high priest, and commanded that he should take ven- 
geance of the children of Israel. 

10 So they departed, and came with a great power into 
the land of Judea, where they sent messengers to Judas 
and his brethren with peaceable words deceitfully. 

1 1 But they gave no heed to their words ; for they saw 
that they were come with a great power. 

12 Then did there assemble unto Alcimus and Bacchides 
a company of || scribes, to require justice. 

13 Now the Assideans were the first among the children 
of Israel that sought peace of them : 

14 For said they, One that is a priest of the seed of 
Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no 
wrong. 

15 So he spake unto them peaceably, and sware unto 
them, saying, We will procure the harm neither of you nor 
your friends.

19 After this removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and 
pitched his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of 
the men that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, 
and when he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit. 

20 Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left 
with him a power to aid him : so Bacchides went to the king. 

21 But Alcimus || contended for the high priesthood. 

22 And unto him resorted all such as troubled the people, 
who, after they had gotten the land of Juda into their 
power, did much hurt in Israel. 

23 Now when Judas saw all the mischief that Alcimus 
and his company had done among the Israelites, even above 
the heathen, 

24 He went out into all the coasts of Judea round about, 
and took vengeance of them that had || revolted from him, 
so that they durst no more || go forth into the country. 

25 On the other side, when Alcimus saw that Judas and

king, and said all the worst of them that he could. verys&ong. 

26 Then the king sent Nicanor, one of his honourable t Gr - l ° 
princes, a man that bare deadly hate unto Israel, with com- 
mandment to destroy the people. 

27 So Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great force; cir. 161.

t friendly words, saying, f Gr.

to take away Judas by violence. 

30 Which thing after it was known to Judas, to wit, that 
he came unto him with deceit, he was sore afraid of him, 
and would see his face no more. 

31 Nicanor also, when he saw that his counsel was dis-

33 After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there 
came out of the sanctuary certain of the priests and certain 
of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to 
shew him the burnt-sacrifice that was offered for the king. 

34 But he mocked them, and laughed at them, and 
t abused them shamefully, and spake proudly, 

35 And sware in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his 
host be now delivered into my hands, if ever I come again

thy people : 

38 Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them 
fall by the sword : remember their blasphemies, and suffer 
them not to continue any longer.

42 Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, 
that the rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously 
against thy sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his 
wickedness. 

43 So the thirteenth day of the month Adar the hosts 
joined battle : but Nicanor's host was discomfited, and he 
himself was first slain in the battle. 

44 Now when Nicanor's host saw that he was slain, they 
cast away their weapons, and fled. 

45 Then || they pursued after them a day's journey, from 
Adasa unto Gazera, sounding an alarm after them with their 
trumpets. 

46 Whereupon they came forth out of all the towns of 
Judea round about, and closed them in ; so that they, turn- 
ing back upon them that pursued them, were all slain with 
the sword, and not one of them was left. 

47 Afterward they took the spoils and the prey, and 
smote off Nicanor's head, and his right hand, which he 
stretched out so proudly, and brought them away, and 
hanged them up toward Jerusalem. 

48 For this cause the people rejoiced greatly, and they 
kept that day a day of great gladness. 

49 Moreover, they ordained to keep yearly this day, 
being the thirteenth of Adar. 

50 Thus the land of Juda was in rest a little while. 
CHAP. VIII. 

OW Judas had heard of the fame of the Romans, that 
they were mighty and valiant men, and such as would 
lovingly accept all that joined themselves unto them, and 
make a league of amity with all that came unto them ; 

2 And that they were men of great valour. It was told 
him also of their wars and noble acts which they had done 
among the || Galatians, and how they had conquered them, 
and brought them under tribute ; 

3 And what they had done in the country of Spain, for the 
winning of the mines of the silver and gold which is there ; 

4 And that by their policy and patience they had con- 
quered || all the place, though it were very far from thein ; 
and the kings also that came against them from the utter- 
most part of the earth, till they had discomfited them, and 
given them a great overthrow, so that the rest did give them 
tribute every year : 

5 Besides this, how they had discomfited in battle Philip, 
and Perseus, king of the || Citims, with others that lifted up 
themselves against them, and had overcome them : 

6 How also Antiochus, the great king of Asia, that came 
against them in battle, having a hundred and twenty ele- 
phants, with horsemen, and chariots, and a very great army, 
was discomfited by them ; 

7 And how they took him alive, and covenanted that he 
and such as reigned after him should pay a great tribute, and 
give hostages, and that which was agreed upon, 

8 And the country of India, and Media, and Lydia, and 
of the goodliest countries, which they took of him, and 
gave to king Eumenes : 

9 Moreover how the Grecians had determined to come 
and destroy them ; 

10 And that they, having knowledge thereof, sent against 
them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many 
of them, and carried away captives their wives and their 
children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their 
lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them 
to be their servants unto this day : 

1 1 It was told him besides, how they destroyed and 
brought under their dominion all other kingdoms and isles 
that at any time resisted them ; 

12 But with their friends and such as relied upon them 
they kept amity : and that they had conquered kingdoms 
both far and nigh, insomuch as all that heard of their name 
were afraid of them : 

13 Also that, whom they would help to a kingdom, those 
reign ; and whom again they would, they displace : finally, 
that they were greatly exalted :

14 Yet for all this none of them wore a crown, or was 
clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby : 

15 Moreover how they had made for themselves a senate- 
house, wherein three hundred and twenty men sat in coun- 
cil daily, consulting always for the people, to the end they 
may be well ordered : 

16 And that they committed their government to one man 
every year, who ruled over all their country, and that all 
were obedient to that one, and that there was neither envy 
nor emulation among them. 

17 In consideration of these things, Judas chose Eupo- 
lemus the son of John, the son of Accos, and Jason the son 
of Eleazar, and sent them to Rome, to make a league of 
amity and confederacy with them, 

18 And to entreat them that they would take the yoke from 
them ; for they saw that the kingdom of the Grecians did 
oppress Israel with servitude. 

19 They went therefore to Rome, which was a very 
great journey, and came into the senate, where they spake 
and said, 

20 Judas Maccabeus with his brethren, and the people 
of the Jews, have sent us unto you, to make a confederacy 
and peace with you, and that we might be registered your 
confederates and friends. 

21 So that matter pleased the Romans well. 

22 And this is the copy of the epistle which the senate 
wrote back again on tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, 
that there they might have by them a memorial of peace 
and confederacy. 

23 Good success be to the Romans, and to the people of 
the Jews, by sea and by land for ever : the sword also and 
enemy be far from them. 

24 If there come first any war upon the Romans or any 
of their confederates throughout all their dominion, 

25 The people of the Jews shall help them, as the time 
shall be appointed, with all their heart : 

26 Neither shall they give any thing unto them that make 
war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, money, 
or ships, as it hath seemed good unto the Romans ; but they 
shall keep their covenants without taking any thing therefor. 

27 In the same manner also, if war come first upon the 
nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them with all 
their heart, according as the time shall be appointed them : 

28 Neither shall victuals be given to them that take part 
against them, or weapons, or money, or ships, as it hath 
seemed good to the Romans ; but they shall keep their 
covenants, and that without deceit. 

29 According to these articles did the Romans make a 
covenant with the people of the Jews. 

30 Howbeit, if hereafter the one party or the other shall 
think meet to add or diminish any thing, they may do it at 
their pleasures, and whatsoever they shall add or take away 
shall be ratified. 

31 And as touching the evils that Demetrius doeth to the 
Jews, we have written unto him, saying, Wherefore hast 
thou made thy yoke heavy upon our friends and confedr- 
rates the Jews ? 

32 If therefore they complain an}' more against thee, we 
will do them justice, and fight with thee by sea and by land. 

CHAP. IX. 

FURTHERMORE, when Demetrius heard that Nicanor 
and his host were slain in battle, t he sent Bacchides f (Jr. 
and Alcimus into the land of Judea the second time, and ^f** .' 

... „ , . . „ , „ . . , proceeded t<>

and after they had won it, they slew much people. 

3 Also the first month of the hundred fifty and second 
year they encamped before Jerusalem : 

4 From whence they moved and went to || Bcrea, with 
twenty thousand footmen, and two thousand horsemen. 

5 Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three 
thousand chosen men with him :

6 Who seeing the multitude of the other army to be so 
great, were sore afraid ; whereupon many conveyed them- 
selves out of the host, insomuch as there abode of them no 
more but eight hundred men. 

7 When Judas therefore saw that his host slipped away, 
and that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled 
in mind, c and much distressed, for that he had no time to 
gather them together. 

8 Nevertheless, unto them that remained, he said, Let us 
arise and go up against our enemies, if peradventure we 
may be able to fight with them. 

9 But they dehorted him, saying, We shall never be 
able : |j let us now rather save our lives, and hereafter 
we will return with our brethren, and tight against them : 
for we are but few. 

10 Then Judas said, d God forbid that I should do this 
thing, and flee away from them ; if our time be come, let 

+ Gr. let us us di e manfully for our brethren, and j let us not stain our 
honour. 

1 1 With that the host of Bacchides removed out of their 
tents, and stood over against || them, their horsemen bein 
divided into two troops, and their slingers and archers going 
before the host, and they that marched in the foreward 
were all mighty men. 

12 As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so the 
host drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets. 

13 They also of Judas' side, e even they sounded their 
trumpets also, so ' that the earth shook at the noise of the 
armies, and the battle continued from morning till night. 

14 Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the 
strength of his army were on the right side, he took with 
him all the hardy men, 

15 Who discomfited the right wing, and pursued them 
unto the mount Azotus. 

16 But when they of the left wing saw that they of the 
right wing were discomfited, they followed upon Judas and 
those that were with him hard at the heels from behind : 

17 Whereupon there was a sore battle, insomuch as 
many were slain on both parts. 

18 s Judas also was killed, and the remnant fled. 

19 Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, 
and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in h Modin. 

20 Moreover ' they bewailed him, and all Israel made 
great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying, 

21 k How is the valiant man fallen, that delivered Israel ! 

22 As for the other things concerning Judas and his 
wars, and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, 
they are not written : for they were very many. 

23 TT Now after the death of Judas, the wicked began to 
put forth their heads' in all the coasts of Israel, and there 
arose up all such as wrought iniquity. 

24 In those days also was there a very great famine, by 
bacchides reason whereof the country revolted and went with || them. 

25 Then Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made 
them lords of the country. 

26 And they made inquiry and search for Judas' friends, 
and brought them unto Bacchides, who took vengeance of 

+ Gr. mock- them, and t used them despitefully. 

27 So was there a great affliction in Israel, ' the like 
whereof was not since the time that a prophet was not seen 
among them. 

28 For this cause all Judas' friends came together, and 
said unto m Jonathan, 

29 Since thy brother Judas died, we have no man like 
him to go forth against our enemies, and Bacchides, and 
against them of our nation that are adversaries to us. 

30 Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be 
our prince and captain in his stead, that thou mayest fight 
our battles. 

31 Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at 
that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas. 

32 But when Bacchides gat knowledge thereof, he sought 
for to slay him.

33 Then Jonathan, and n Simon his brother, and all that 
were with him, perceiving that, fled into the wilderness of

34 || Which when Bacchides understood, he came near

and were bringing t ue bride from

went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the 
mountain : 

39 Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and be- 
hold, there was much ado and ° great carriage : and the 
bridegroom came forth, and his friends and brethren, to 
meet them with || drums, and || instruments of music, and 
many weapons. 

40 Then Jonathan and they that were with him rose up 
against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and 
made a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down 
dead, and the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took 
all their spoils. 

41 Thus was p the marriage turned into mourning, and 
the noise of their q melody into lamentation. 

42 So when they had avenged fully the blood of their 
brother, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan. 

43 Now when Bacchides heard hereof, he came on the 
sabbath-day unto the banks of Jordan with a great power. 

44 Then Jonathan said to his company, Let us go up now 
and fight for our lives, for it standeth not with us to-day, as 
in time past : 

45 For, behold, r the battle is before us and behind us, 
and the water of Jordan on this side and that side, the 
marsh likewise and wood, neither is there place for us to 
turn aside. 

46 Wherefore ! cry ye now unto heaven, that ye may be sEx. 14, 15. 
delivered from the hand of your enemies. 

47 With that they joined battle, and Jonathan stretched 
forth his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from 
him. 

48 Then Jonathan and they that were with him leaped 
into Jordan, and swam over unto the farther bank : howbeit 
the other passed not over Jordan unto them. 

49 So there were slain of Bacchides' side that day about 
|| a thousand men. 

50 Afterward returned Bacchides to Jerusalem, and || re- 
paired the strong cities in Judea ; the fort in Jericho, and 
Emmaus, and Beth-horon, and Bethel, and Thamnatha, 
Pharathoni, and || Taphon, these did he strengthen with high 
walls, with gates, and with bars. 

51 And in them he set a garrison, that they might work 
malice upon Israel. 

52 He fortified also t the city Bethsura, and Gazara, and f Gr. the 

the tower, and put forces in them, and provision of victuals. c '*3f. m

54 Moreover in the hundred fifty and third year, in the cir, 160. 
second month, Alcimus commanded that the wall of the 

inner court of the sanctuary should be pulled down ; he 
pulled down also the works of the prophets. 

55 And as he began * to pull down, even at that time was t Ps. 74, 6. 
Alcimus "plagued, and his enterprises hindered: for his n ch. 6, 12

he could no more speak any thing, nor give order concern-

56 So Alcimus died at that time with great torment. 

57 Now when Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead, he 
returned to the king : whereupon the land of Judea * was 
in rest two years. 

58 Then all the ungodly men held a council, saying, Be- 
hold, Jonathan and his company are at ease, and dwell with- 
out care : now therefore we will bring Bacchides hither, 
who shall take them all in one night. 

59 So they went and y consulted with him. 

60 Then removed he, and came with a great host, and 
sent letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they 
should take Jonathan and those that were with him : how- 
beit they could not, z because their counsel was known un- 
to them. 

61 Wherefore they took of the men of the country, that 
were authors of that mischief, about fifty persons, and slew 
them. 

62 Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were 
with him, got them away to Bethbasi, which is in the wil- 
derness, and they repaired the decays thereof, and made it 
strong.

64 Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi ; and 
they fought against it a long season, and made engines of 
war. 

65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and 
went forth himself into the country, and with a certain 
number went he forth. 

66 And he smote || Odonarkes and his brethren, and the 
children of Phasiron in their tent. 

67 And when he began to smite them, and came up with 
his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and 
burned up b the engines of war, 

68 And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by 
them, and they afflicted him sore : for his counsel and 
travail was in vain. 

69 Wherefore he was very wroth at the c wicked men 
that gave him counsel to come into the country, insomuch 
that he slew many of them, and purposed to return into his 
own country. 

70 Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent am- 
bassadors unto him, d to the end he should make peace with 
him, and deliver them the prisoners. 

71 Which thing he accepted, and did according to his 
demands, and sware unto him that he would never do him 
harm all the da}'s of his life. 

72 When therefore he had restored unto him the prison- 
ers that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, he 
returned and went his way into his own land, e neither | came 
he any more into their borders. 

73 Thus the sword ceased from Israel : but Jonathan 
dwelt at Machmas, and began to \ govern the people ; and 
he destroyed the ' ungodly men out of Israel. 

CHAP. X. 
"ffN the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander, || the son of 
-"• Antiochus surnamed Kpiphanes, went up and took a Pto 
leriiais : for the people had received him, by means whereof 
he reigned there. 

2 Now when king Demetrius heard thereof, he gather- 
ed together an exceeding great host, and went forth against 
him to fight. 

3 Moreover, Demetrius sent letters unto Jonathan with 
loving words, so as he magnified him. 

4 Foresaid he, b Let us first make peace with him, before 
he join with Alexander against us : 

5 Else he will remember all the evils that we have done 
against him, and against his brethren and his people. 

. 6 Wherefore he gave him authority to c gather together 
a host, and to provide weapons, that he might aid him in 
battle : he commanded also that the hostages that were in 
the tower should be delivered him. 




e verse 6. 



CHAP. X. Apocrypha. 

7 Then came Jonathan to Jerusalem, and read the let- 
ters in the audience of all the people, and of them that 
were in the d tower : 

8 Who were sore afraid, when they heard that the king 
had given him authority to gather together a host. 

9 Whereupon they of the tower e delivered their hosta- 
ges unto Jonathan, and he delivered them unto their parents. . 

10 This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, 
and began to build and repair the city. 

11 And he commanded the workmen to build f the walls f ch. 1, 31. 
and the mount Sion round about with square stones for for- 
tification ; and they did so. 

12 Then the strangers, that were in the fortresses which 
Bacchides had built, fled away ; 

13 Insomuch as every man left his place, and went into 
his own country. 

14 Only at Bethsura certain of those that had forsaken 
the law and the commandments remained still : for it was 
their place of refuge. 

15 Now when king Alexander had heard what promises 
Demetrius s had sent unto Jonathan : when also it was told g verse 6. 
him of the battles and noble acts which he and his brethren 
had done, and of the pains that they had endured, 

16 He said, Shall we find such another man 1 now there- 
fore we will make him our friend and confederate. 

17 Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, ac- 
cording to these words, saying, 

18 King h Alexander to his brother Jonathan sendeth h verse 1. 
greeting : 

1 9 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great 
power, and meet to be our friend. 

20 Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the 
high priest of thy nation, and to be called ' the king's friend ; i ch. 2, 18. 
(and therewithal he sent him k a purple robe and a crown kch. 8, 14. 
of gold :) and require thee to take our part, and keep friend- 
ship with us. 

21 So in the seventh month of the hundred and sixtieth 
year, at the feast of the tabernacles, Jonathan put on the 
holy robe, and gathered together forces, and provided much 
armour. 

22 Whereof when Demetrius heard, he was very sorry, 
and said, 

23 What have we done, that Alexander hath prevented 
us in making amity with the Jews to strengthen himself? 

24 I also will write unto them words of encouragement, 
1 and piromise them dignities and gifts, that I may have their I verse 15. 
aid. 

25 He sent unto them therefore to this effect : King De- 
metrius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting: 

26 Whereas ye have kept ,n covenants with us, and con- m See chap, 
tinued in our friendship, not joining yourselves with our 9 < "• 
enemies, we have heard hereof, and are glad. 

27 Wherefore now continue ye still to be faithful unto 
us, and we will well recompense you for the things ye do 
in our behalf, 

28 And will grant you many immunities, " and give you n verse 24. 
rewards. 

29 And now do I free you, and for your sake I release 
all the Jews, ■ from tributes, and from the customs of salt, o See chap 



and from crown taxes, 8 ' 

30 And from that which appertained unto me to receive 
for the third part of the seed, and the half of the fruit of 
the trees, I release it from this day forth, so that they shall 
not be taken of the land of Judea, nor of the three govern- 
ments which are added thereunto out of the country of Sa- 
maria and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore. 

31 Let p Jerusalem also be holy and free, with the bor- 
ders thereof, both from tenths and tributes. 

32 And as for q the tower which is at Jerusalem, 1 yield <j ver. 6, 7. 
up my authority over it, and give it to the high priest, that 

he may set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it. 

33 Moreover I freely set at liberty every one of the Jews

part of my kingdom, and I will that all my officers remit the 
r tributes even of their cattle. 

34 Furthermore / will that all the feasts, and sabbaths, 
and new moons, and solemn days, and the three days before 
the feast, and the three days after the feast, shall be all 
days of immunity and freedom for all the Jews in my realm. 

35 Also no man shall have authority to meddle with them, 
a 1 Tun 2, s or to molest any of them in any manner. 
*■ 36 I will further, that there be enrolled among the king's 

forces about thirty thousand men of the Jews, unto whom 
pay shall be given, as belongeth to all the king's forces. 

37 And of them some shall be placed in the king's strong 
tD™.2,49. holds, of whom also some shall be 'set over the affairs of 

the kingdom, which are of trust : and Iwill that their over-

38 And concerning ■ the three governments that are add- 
ed to Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be join- 
ed with Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under one, 
nor bound to obey other authority than the high priest's. 

39 As for * Ptolemais, and the land pertaining thereto, I 
give it as a free gift to the sanctuary at Jerusalem for the 

J| Or, of the necessary expenses || of the sanctuary. 

holy things. 4Q Moreover I give every year fifteen thousand shekels 
of silver out of the king's accounts from the places apper- 
taining. 

41 And all the overplus, which the officers payed not in 
as in former time, from henceforth shall be given toward the 

) Ezra r, 2. works of the y temple. 

42 And besides this, the five thousand shekels of silver, 
which they took from the uses of the temple out of the ac- 
counts year by year, even those things shall be released, 
because they appertain to the priests that minister. 

43 And whosoever they be that flee unto the temple at 
Jerusalem, or be within the liberties thereof, being indebt- 
ed unto the king, or for any other matter, let them be at 
liberty, and all that they have in my realm. 

44 For the building also and repairing of the works of 
i ch. 9, 54. the z sanctuary, expenses shall be given of the king's 

accounts. 
a Neh. 2, 3. 45 Yea, and for the building of a the walls of Jerusalem, 
and the fortifying thereof round about, expenses shall be 
given out of the king's accounts, as also for the building of 
the walls in Judea. 

46 Now when Jonathan and the people heard these 
words, they gave no credit unto them, nor received them, 
because the}' remembered the great evil that he had done 
in Israel ; b for he had afflicted them very sore. 

47 But with Alexander they were well pleased, because 
he was the first that entreated of true peace with them, and 
they were confederate with him always. 

48 Then gathered king Alexander great forces, and 
camped over against Demetrius. 

49 And after the two kings had joined battle, Demetrius' 
host fled : but Alexander followed after him, and c prevail- 
ed against them. 

50 And he continued the battle very sore until the sun 
went down : and that day was Demetrius slain. 

51 Afterward Alexander sent d ambassadors to Ptolemee 
king of Egypt with a message to this effect : 

52 Forasmuch as I am come again to my realm, and am 
set in the throne of nrry progenitors, and have gotten the 
dominion, and overthrown Demetrius, and recovered our 
country ; 

53 For after I had joined battle with him, both he and 
his host was discomfited by us, so that we sit in the throne 
of his kingdom : 

e ch. 8, 17. 54 Now therefore let us make a league e of amity togeth- 
er, and give me now thy daughter to wife : and I will be 
thy son-in-law, and will give both thee and her gifts accord- 
ing to thy dignity. 

55 Then Ptolemee the king gave answer, saying, Happy

be the day wherein thou didst return into the land of thy Before 
fathers, ana satte_st f in the throne of their kingdom. ciriso 

56 And now will I do to thee, as thou hast written : meet n^-v-^' 
me therefore at Ptolemais, that we may see one another; f verse 53, 
for I will marry my daughter to thee * according to thy g- verse 54. 
desire. 

57 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter 
Cleopatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred 
threescore and second year : 

58 Where king Alexander meeting him, gave unto him 
his daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her marriage at 
Ptolemais with great glory, h as the manner of kings is. h See &>*. 

59 Now king Alexander had written unto Jonathan, that 1# '• 
he should come and meet him. 

60 Who thereupon went honourably to Ptolemais, where 
he met the two kings, and gave them and their friends sil- 
ver and gold, and many presents, and ' found favour in their 'G»< 
sight 

61 At that time certain pestilent fellows of Israel, k men k "* 
of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him, to accuse 
him : but the king would not hear them. 

62 Yea more than that, the king commanded to take off 
his garments, and clothe him in ' purple : and they did so. 1 ch. 3, 14. 

63 Also he made him sit by himself, and said unto his 
princes, Go with him into the midst of the city, and make 
proclamation, that no man complain against him of any mat- 
ter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause. 

64 Now when his m accusers saw that he was honoured m verse 61. 
according to the proclamation, and clothed in purple, they 
fled all away. 

65 So the king honoured him, and wrote him among his 
chief friends, and made him a duke, and || partaker of his 
dominion. 

66 Afterward Jonathan returned to Jerusalem with peace 
and gladness. 

67 Furthermore in the hundred threescore and fifth year 
came Demetrius son of Demetrius out of u Crete into the 
land of his fathers : 

68 Whereof when king Alexander heard tell, he was 
right sorry, and returned into Antioch. 

69 Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of 
Celosyria his general, who gathered together a great host, 
and camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high 
priest, saying, 

70 Thou alone liftest up thyself against us, and ° I am o Ps.-22, 
laughed to scorn for thy sake, and reproached : and why 
dost thou vaunt thy power against us in the mountains ? 

71 Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own strength, 
come down to us into the plain field, and there let us try 
the matter together : for with me is the power of the cities. 

72 Ask and learn who I am, and the rest that take our 
part, and they shall tell thee that thy foot is not able to stand 
before our face ; for thy fathers have been twice put to 
flight in their own land. 

73 Wherefore now thou shalt not be able to abide v the P P»- 2°. T - 
horsemen and so great a power in the plain, where is nei- 
ther stone nor flint, nor place to flee unto. 

74 So when Jonathan heard these words of Apollonius, 
q he was moved in his mind, and choosing ten thousand men, qlsa- 37,1 
he went out of Jerusalem, where Simon his brother met 
him for to help him. 

75 And he pitched his tents against Joppe : but they of 
Joppe shut him out of the city, because Apollonius had a 
garrison there. 

76 Then Jonathan laid siege unto it : whereupon they of 
the city let him in for fear : and so Jonathan won Joppe. 

77 Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thou- 
sand horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and went to rch 5 gg 
r Azotus || as one that journeyed, and therewithal || drew him jj o r ', <l s 
forth into the plain, because he had a great number of though he

79 Now ' Apollonius had left a thousand horsemen in 
ambush. 

80 And Jonathan knew that there was an ambushment 
behind him ; for they had compassed in his host, and cast 
darts at the people, from morning till evening. 

• 81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had command- 
ed them : and so the || enemies' horses were tired. 

82 Then brought Simon forth his host, and set them 
against the footmen (for the horsemen were spent,) who 
were discomfited b}' him, and fled. 

83 The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled 
to *■ Azotus, and went into Beth-dagon, their idol's temple, 
for safety. 

84 But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities round 
about it, and took their spoils ; and the u temple of Dagon, 
with them that were fled into it, he burned with fire. 

85 Thus there were burned and slain with the sword well 
nigh eight thousand men. 

86 And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and 
camped against * Ascalon, where the men of the city came 
forth, and met him with great pomp. 

87 After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jeru- 
salem, having many spoils. 

88 Now when king Alexander heard these things, he 
honoured Jonathan J yet more, 

89 And sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to be 
given to such as are of the king's blood : he gave him also 
Accaron with the borders thereof in possession. 

CHAP. XI. 

A ND the king of Egypt gathered together a great host, 

-^*- like * the sand that lieth upon the sea-shore, and many 

ships, and went about through deceit to get Alexander's 

kingdom, and join it to his own. 

2 Whereupon he took his journey into Syria in peace- 
able manner, so as they of the cities opened unto him, and 
met him : for king Alexander had commanded them so to 

bth. 10, 58. do, b because he was his father-in-law. 

3 Now as Ptolemee entered into the cities, he set in 
every one of them a garrison of soldiers to keep it. 

4 And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him 
cch. 10, 33, the c temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the 

suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that 
were cast abroad, and them that he had burnt in the battle ; 
for they had made heaps of them by the way where he 
should pass. 

5 Also they told the king whatsoever Jonathan had done, 
to the intent he might blame him : but the king held his

Jonathan met the king d with great pomp at 
Joppe, where they saluted one another, and t lodged. 

7 Afterward Jonathan, when he had gone with the king 
to the river called Eleutherus, returned again to Jerusalem. 

8 King Ptolemee therefore, having gotten the dominion 
of the cities by the sea unto Seleucia upon the sea-coast, 

83,3, imagined e wicked counsels against Alexander. 

9 Whereupon he sent ambassadors unto king Demetrius, 
s.iying, Come, let us make a league betwixt us, and I will 

10,58. give thee ' my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou 
ahalt reign in thy father's kingdom : 

10 For I repent that I gave my daughter unto him, for

1-0,2, j j Thus did he s slander him, because he was desirous 
of his kingdom. 

12 Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and gave 
her to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that their ha- 
tred was openly known. 

13 Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, where he set 
h ch. 8, 14. two h crowns upon his head, the crown of Asia, and of 

Egypt. 

14 In the mean season was king Alexander in Cilicia, 
because those that dwelt in those parts had revolted from 
him. 

15 But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war

16 So Alexander fled into ' Arabia, there to be defended ; » Gal. i, J7.

21 Then certain ungodly persons, who hated their own 7 
people, went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan be- 
sieged the tower. 

22 Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and immedi- 
ately removing, he came to 'Ptolemais, and wrote unto 1 ch. 10, 58 
Jonathan, that he should not lay siege to the tower, but 

come and speak with him at Ptolemais in great haste. 

23 Nevertheless Jonathan, when he heard this, command- 
ed to besiege it still : and he chose certain of the elders of 
Israel, and the priests, and put himself in peril ; 

24 And took silver and gold, and raiment, and divers 
presents besides, and went to Ptolemais unto the king, 
m where he found favour in his sight. 

25 And though certain " ungodly men of the people had 
made complaints against him, 

26 Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had 
done before, and promoted him in the sight of all his friends, 

27 And confirmed him in "the high priesthood, and in och. 10, 20. 
all the honours that he had before, and gave him pre- 
eminence among his chief friends. 

23 Then Jonathan desired the king, that he would make 
p Judea free from tribute, as also the q three governments, pch. 10,29, 
with the country of Samaria; and he promised him three qcb. 10,30. 
hundred talents. 

39 So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jona- 
than of all these things after this manner : 

30 King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and unto 
the nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting : 

31 We send you here a copy of the letter which we did 
write unto our cousin Lasthenes concerning you, that ye 
might see it. 

32 King Demetrius unto his father Lasthenes sendeth 
greeting : 

33 We are determined to do good to the people of the 
Jews, who are our friends, and keep covenants with us, 
because of their good will toward us. 

34 || Wherefore we have ratified unto them the borders 
of Judea, with the three governments of Apherema and 
Lydda and Ramathem, that are added unto Judea from the 
country of Samaria, r and all things appertaining unto them, 
for all such as do sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the pa}'- 
ments which the king received of them yearly aforetime out 
of the fruits of the earth and of trees. 

35 And as for other things that belong unto us, of the 
tithes and customs pertaining unto us, as also the salt-pits, 
and the crown taxes, which are due unto us, we discharge 
them of them all for their relief. 

36 And nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time 
forth for ever. 

37 Now therefore see that thou make a copy of these 
things, and let it be delivered unto Jonathan, and set upon 
• the holy mount in a conspicuous place. 

38 After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was 
quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against 
him, he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, 
except certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered 

from the ' isles of the heathen : wherefore all the forces of tGen. 10, 5 
his fathers hated him. 

39 Moreover, there was one Tryphou, that had been of

Alexander's part afore, who, seeing that all the host mur- 
mured against Demetrius, went to Simalcue the Arabian, 
that brought up Antiochus the young son of Alexander, 

40 And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young 
Antiochus, that he might reign in his -father's stead : he toid 
him therefore all that Demetrius had done, and u how his 
men of war were at enmity with him ; and there he remain- 
ed a long season. 

41 In the mean time Jonathan sent unto king Demetrius, 
that he would cast those of x the tower out of Jerusalem, and 
those also in the fortresses : for they fought against Israel. 

42 So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not 
only do this for thee and thy people, but I will y greatly 
honour thee and thy nation, if opportunity serve. 

43 Now therefore thou shalt do well, if thou send me men 
to help me ; for all my forces are gone from me. 

44 Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong 
men unto Antioch : and when they came to the king, the 
king was very glad of their coming. 

45 Howbeit, they that were of the city gathered them- 
selves together into the midst of the city, to the number of 
a hundred and twenty thousand men, z and would have slain 
the king. 

46 Wherefore the king fled into the court, but they of 
the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight. 

47 Then the king called to the Jews for help, who came 
unto him all at once, and, dispersing themselves through the 
city, slew that day in the city to the number of a hundred 
thousand. 

48 Also they set fire on the city, and gat many spoils that 
day, * and delivered the king. 

49 So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got 
the city as they would, their courage was abated : where- 
fore they made supplication to the king, and cried, saying, 

50 || Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assault- 
ing us and the city. 

51 With that they cast away their weapons, and made 
peace ; and the Jews were honoured in the sight of the king, 
and in the sight of all that were in his realm ; and they re- 
turned to Jerusalem, b having great spoils. 

52 So king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, 
and the land was quiet before him. 

53 Nevertheless, he dissembled in all that ever he spake, 
and estranged himself from Jonathan, neither rewarded he 
him according to the benefits which he had received of him, 
but troubled him very sore. 

54 After this returned c Tryphon, and with him the 
d young child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned. 

55 Then there gathered unto him all the men of war, 
whom Demetrius had put away, and they fought against 
Demetrius, who turned his back and fled. 

56 Moreover Tryphon took the t elephants, and won 
Antioch. 

57 At that time young Antiochus wrote unto Jonathan, 
.saying, e I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and appoint 
thee ruler over the four governments, and to be one of the 
king's friends. 

53 Upon this he sent him golden vessels t to be served 
in, and gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed 
' in purple, and to wear a golden buckle. 

59 His brother Simon also he made captain from the place 
called, The ladder of Tyrus, unto the borders of Egypt. 

60 Then Jonathan || went forth, and passed through the 
cities beyond the water, and all the forces of Syria gathered 
themselves unto him for to help him : and when he came 
to Ascalon, they of the city met him honourably. 

6 1 From whence he went to Gaza, but they of Gaza shut 
him out ; wherefore he laid siege unto it, and burned j| the 
suburbs thereof with fire, and spoiled them. 

62 Afterward, when they of Gaza made supplication unto 
Jonathan, | he made peace with them, and took the sons of 
their chief men for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem 
and passed through the country unto Damascus.

63 Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' princes 
were come tc Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great 
power, purposing || to remove him out of the country, 

64 He went to meet them, and left Simon his brother in 
the country. 

65 Then Simon encamped against s Bethsura, and fought 
against it a long season, and shut it up : 

66 But they desired to have peace with him, which he 
granted them, and then put them out from thence, and took 
the city, and set a garrison in it. 

67 As for Jonathan and his host, they pitched at the 
water of Gennesar, from whence betimes 
they gat them to the plain of Nasor. 

68 And behold, the host of strangers met them in the 
plain, who having laid h men in ambush for him in the 
mountains, came themselves over against him. 

69 So when they that lay in ambush rose out of their 
places, and joined battle, all that were of Jonathan's side fled ; 

70 Insomuch as there was not one of them left, except 
Mattathias the son of Absalom, and Judas the son of Calphi, 
the captains of ■ the host. 

71 Then Jonathan rent his clothes, and cast earth upon 
his head, k and prayed. 

72 Afterward turning again to battle, he put them to 
flight, and so they ran away. 

73 Now when his own men that were fled saw this, they 
turned again unto him, and with him pursued them to 

1 Cades, even unto their own tents, and there they camped. 1 verse 63. 

74 So there were slain of the heathen that day about 
three thousand men : but Jonathan returned to Jerusalem. ' 

CHAP. XII. 

NOW when Jonathan saw that the time served him, he 
chose certain men, and sent them to Rome, * for to 
confirm and renew the friendship that they had with them. 

2 He sent letters also to the Lacedemonians, and to 
other places, for the same purpose. 

3 So they went unto Rome, and entered into b the senate, b ch. 8, l J 
and said, Jonathan the high priest, and the people of the 19- 
Jews, sent us unto you, to the end ye should renew the 
friendship c which ye had with them, and league, as in for- 
mer time. 

4 Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the 
governors of every place, that they should bring them into 
the land of Judea peaceably. 

5 And this is the copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote 
unto the d Lacedemonians : 

6 Jonathan the high priest, and the elders of the nation, 
and the priests, and the other people of the Jews, unto the 
Lacedemonians their brethren send greeting : 

7 There were letters sent in times past unto Onias the 
high priest from || Darius, who reigned then among you, 
to signify that ye are our brethren, as the copy here under- 
written doth specify. 

8 At which time Onias entreated the ambassador that was 
sent honourably, and received the letters, wherein declara- 
tion was made of the || league and friendship. 

9 Therefore we also, albeit we need none of these things, 
for that we have the e holy books of scripture in our hands eActs 17? 
to comfort us, l1, 

10 Have nevertheless attempted to send unto you f for fversesl,2 
the renewing of brotherhood and friendship, lest we should 
become strangers unto you altogether : for there is a long 

time passed since ye sent unto us. 

1 1 We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in 
our feasts, and other convenient days, do remember you in 
the sacrifices which we offer, and in our prayers, as reason 
is, and as it becometh us to think upon our brethren : 

12 And we are right glad of your honour. 

13 As for ourselves, we have had great troubles s and g 2 Cor. 4, 
wars on every side, forsomuch as the kings that are round 8 - 
about us have fought against us. 

14 Howbeit, we would not be troublesome unto you, 
nor to others of our confederates and friends, in these wars :

15 For we have h help from heaven that succoureth us, so 
as wt are delivered from our eneu;ies, and our enemies are 
brought under foot. 

16 For this cause we chose Numenius the son of Antiochus, 
and Antipater the son of Jason, ' and sent them unto the 
Romans, to renew the amity that we had with them, and the 
former league. 

17 We commanded them k also to go unto you, and to sa- 
lute you, and to deliver you our letters concerning the re- 
newing of our brotherhood. 

18 Wherefore now ye shall do well to give us an answer 
thereto. 

19 And this is the copy of the letters || which Oniares sent. 

20 Areus king of the Lacedemonians to Onias the high 
priest, greeting : 

21 It is found in writing, that the Lacedemonians and Jews 
are ' brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham : 

22 Now therefore, since this is come to our knowledge, ye 
shall do well to write unto us of your j prosperity. 

23 We do write back again to you, m that your cattle and 
goods are ours, and ours are yours. We do command there- 
fore our ambassadors to make report unto you on this wise. 

24 Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' princes 
were come to right against him with a greater host than 
afore, 

25 He removed from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of 
Amathis : for he gave them no respite || to enter his country. 

26 He sent spies also unto their tents, who came again, and 
told him that they were appointed to come upon them in the 
night-season. 

27 Wherefore so soon as the sun was down, Jonathan com- 
manded his men to watch, n and to be in arms, that all the 
night long they might be ready to fight : also he sent forth 
centinels round about the host. 

28 But when the adversaries heard that Jonathan and his 
men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled in their 
hearts, and j| they kindled fires in their camp. 

29 Howbeit Jonathan and his company knew it not till the 
morning : for they saw the lights burning. 

30 Then Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them 
not : for the}' were gone over ° the river Eleutherus. 

31 Wherefore Jonathan turned to the Arabians, who were 
called t Zabadeans, and smote them, and took their spoils. 

32 And removing thence, he came to Damascus, and so 
passed through all the country. 

33 Simon also went forth, and passed through the country 
unto Ascalon, and the holds there adjoining, from whence he 
turned aside to Joppe, and wo.n it. 

34 For he had heard that they would deliver the hold un- 
to them that took Demetrius' part ; wherefore he set a garri- 
son there to keep it. 

35 After this came Jonathan home again, ajid calling p the 
elders of the people together, he consulted with them about 
building strong holds in Judea, 

36 And making the walls of Jerusalem higher, and raising 
a great mount between q the tower and the city, for to sepa- 
rate it from the city, that so it might be alone, that men might 
neither sell nor buy in it. 

37 Upon this they came together to build up the city, || for- 
asmuch as part of the wall toward the brook on the east side 
was fallen down ; and they repaired that which was called 
Caphenatha. 

38 Simon also set up Adida in Sephela, and made it strong 
with gates and bars. 

39 Now ' Tryphon went about to get ■ the kingdom of Asia, 
and to kill Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown 
upon his own head. 

40 Howbeit, he was afraid that Jonathan would not suffer 
him, and that he would fight against him ; wherefore he sought 
a way how to take Jonathan, that he might kill him. So he 
removed, and came to Bethsan. 

41 Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thou- 
sand men chosen for the battle, and came to Bethsan. 

N* 



42 Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with so 
great a force, he durst not stretch his hand against him ; 

43 But received him honourably, 'and commended him 
unto all his friends, and gave him gifts, and commanded his 
men of war to be as obedient unto him, as to himself. 

44 Unto Jonathan also he said, Why hast thou put all this 
people to so great trouble, seeing there is no war betwixt us ? 

45 Therefore send them now home again, and choose a 
few men to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Ptole- 
mais, for I will give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds 
and forces, and all that have any charge : as for me, I will re- 
turn and depart : for this is the cause of my coming. 

46 So Jonathan, " believing him, did as he bade him, and 
sent away his host, who went into the land of Judea. 

47 And with himself he retained but three thousand men, 
of whom he f sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thou- 
sand went with him. ' 

48 Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they 
of Ptolemais shut the gates, and took him, and all them that 
came with him they slew with the sword. 

49 Then sent Tryphon a host of footmen and horsemen 
into * Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan's 
company. 

50 But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were 
with him were taken and slain, they encouraged one another, 
and went close together, prepared to fight. 

51 They therefore that followed upon them, perceiving 
that they were read}' to fight for their lives, turned back again. 

52 Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peace- 
ably, and there they y bewailed Jonathan, and them that were 
with him, and they were sore afraid ; wherefore all Israel 
made great lamentation. 

53 Then all the heathen that were round about them sought 
to destroy them : for, said they, They have no captain, nor 
any to help them : now therefore let us make war upon them, 
and take away their memorial from among men. 

CHAP. XIII. 
TVTOW when Simon heard that Tryphon had gathered to- 
-*-^ gether a great host to invade the land of Judea, and de- 
stroy it, 

2 And saw that the people was in great trembling and fear, 
he went up to Jerusalem, and gathered the people together, 

3 And gave them exhortation, saying, Ye yourselves know 
what great things I, and my brethren, and my father's house, 
have done for the laws and the sanctuary, the battles also and 
troubles which we have seen. 

4 By reason whereof all my brethren are slain for Israel's 
sake, and I am left alone. 

5 Now therefore be it far from me, that I should spare 
mine own life in any time of trouble : for 1 am no better than 
my brethren. 

6 Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary, 
and our wives, and our children : for all the heathen are 
gathered to destroy us of very malice. 

7 Now as soon as the people heard these words, their spirit 
revived. 

8 And they answered with a loud voice, saying, Thou shalt 
be our leader instead of Judas and Jonathan thy brother. 

9 Fight thou our battles, and whatsoever thou commandest 
us, that will we do. 

10 So then he gathered together all the men of war, and 
made haste to finish the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it 
round about. 

1 1 Also he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him 
a great power, to Joppe : who casting out them that were 
therein, remained there in it. 

12 So Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a groat power 
to invade the land of Judea, and Jonathan was with him in ward. 

13 But Simon pitched his tents at Adida, over against the 
plain. 

14 Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up in- 
stead of his brother Jonathan, and meant to join battle with 
him, he sent messengers unto him, saying,

Apocrypha. 

15 Whereas we have Jonathan thy brother in hold, it is 
for money that he is owing unto the king's treasure, || con- 
cerning the business that was committed unto him. 

16 Wherefore now send a hundred talents of silver, and 
two of his sons for hostages, that when he is at liberty he may 
not revolt from us, and we will let him go. 

17 Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they spake 
deceitfully unto him, yet seat he the money and the children, 
lest peradventure he should procure to himself great hatred 
of the people : 

18 Who might have said, Because I sent him not the money \ 
and the children, therefore is Jonathan dead. 

19 So he sent them the children and the hundred talents : 
howbeit Tryphon dissembled, neither would he let Jonathan go. 

20 And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and 
destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto 
Adora : but Simon and his host marched against him in every 
place, wheresoever he went. 

21 Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto 
Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto 
them by the wilderness, and send them victuals. 

22 Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to 
come that night : but there fell a very great snow, by reason 
whereof he came not. So he departed, and came into the 
country of Galaad. 

23 And when he came near to Bascama, he slew Jonathan, 
who was buried there. 

24 Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his own land. 

25 Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan his 
brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers. 

26 And all Israel made great lamentation for him, and be- 
wailed him many days. 

27 Simon also built a monument upon the sepulchre of his 
father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the sight, with 
hewn stone, behind and before. 

28 Moreover, he set up seven pyramids, one against an- 
other, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren. 

29 And in these he made cunning devices, about the which 
he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he made all their ar- 
mour for a perpetual memory, and by the armour ships carv- 
ed, that they might be seen of all that sail on the sea. 

30 This is the sepulchre which he made at Modin, and it 
standeth yet unto this day. 

31 Now Tryphon dealt deceitfully with the young king 
Antiochus, and slew him. 

32 And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king 
of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land. 

33 Then Simon built up the strong holds in Judea, and 
fenced them about with high towers, and great walls, and 
gates, and bars, and laid up victuals j therein. 

34 Moreover, Simon chose men, and sent to king Deme- 
trius, to the end he should give the land an immunity, because 
t all that Tryphon did was to spoil. 

35 Unto whom king Demetrius answered and wrote after 
this manner : 

36 King Demetrius unto Simon the high priest, and friend 
of kings, as also unto the elders and nation of the Jews, send- 
eth greeting : 

37 The golden crown, and the scarlet robe, which ye sent 
unto us, we have received : and we are ready to make a 
steadfast peace with you, yea, and to write unto our officers, 
to confirm the immunities which we have granted. 

38 And whatsoever covenants we have made with you shall 
stand ; and the strong holds, which ye have builded, shall be 
your own. 

39 As for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, 
we forgive it, and the crown tax also, which ye owe us : and 
if there were any other tribute paid in Jerusalem, it shall no 
more be paid. 

40 And look who are meet among you to be in our court, 
let them be enrolled, and let there he peace betwixt U3. 

41 Thus the yoke of the heathen was taken away from 
Israel in the hundred and seventieth year.

I 42 Then the people of Israel began to write in their instru- 
| ments and contracts, In the first year of Simon the high priest, 
| the governor and leader of the Jews. 

43 In those daj's Simon camped against Gaza, and besieged 
; It round about ; he m;ide also an engine of war, and set it by 
I the city, and battered a certain tQwer, and took it. 

44 And they that were in the engine leaped into the city ; 
whereupon there was a great uproar in the city; 

45 Insomuch as the people of the city rent their clothes, 
and climbed upon the walls with their wives and children, 
and cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon t to grant them 
peace. 

46 And they said, Deal not with us according to our wick- 
edness, but according to thy mercy. 

47 So Simon was appeased toward them, and fought no 
more against them, but put them out of the city, and cleansed 
the houses whereinthe idols were, and so entered into it with 
songs and with thanksgiving. 

48 Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed such 
men there as would keep the law, and made it stronger than 
it was before, and built therein a dwelling-place for himself. 

49 They also of the tower in Jerusalem were kept so strait, c 'r- •42. 
that they could neither come forth, nor go into the country, 

nor buy, nor- sell : wherefore they were in great distress for 
want of victuals, and a great number of them perished through 
famine. 

50 Then cried they to Simon, beseeching him || to be at 
one with them : which thing he granted them ; and when he 
had put them out from thence, he cleansed the tower from "them. 
pollutions : 

51 And entered into it- the three and twentieth day of the 
second month, in the hundred seventy and first year, with 
thanksgiving,' and branches of palm-trees, and with harps, 
and cymbals, and with viols, and hymns, and songs : because 
there was destroyed a great enemy out of Israel. 

52 He ordained also that that day should be kept every 
year with gladness. Moreover, the hill of the temple that 
was by the tower he made stronger than it was, and there he 
dwelt himself with his company. 

53 And when Simon saw that John his son was a valiant 
man, he made him captain of all the hosts ; and he dwelt in 
Gazara.

Demetrius gathered his forces together, and went into 
Media, to get him heip to fight against Tryphon. 

2 But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard 
that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he sent one 
of his princes to take him alive : 

3 Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and took 
him, and brought him to Arsaces, by whom he was put in ward. 

4 As for the* land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of 
Simon ; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, 
as that evermore his authority and honour pleased them well. 

5 And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that 
he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles 
of the sea, 

6 And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and recovered 
the country, 

7 And gathered together a great number of captives, and 
had the dominion of Gazara, and Bethsura, and the tower, out 
of the which he took all uncleanness, neither was there any 
that resisted him. 

8 Then did they till their ground in peace, and the earth 
gave her increase, and the trees of the field their fruit. 

9 The ancient men sat all in the streets, communing to- 
gether of || good things, and the young men put on glorious 
and warlike apparel. 

10 He provided victuals for the cities, and set in them all 
manner of munition, so that his honourable name was renown 
ed unto the end of the world. 

11 He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with

13 Neither was there any left in the land to right against

days. 

14 Moreover, he strengthened all those of his people that 
were brought low : the law he searched out ; and every con- 
temner of the law and wicked person he took away. 

15 He beautified the sanctuary, and multiplied the vessels 
of the temple. 

16 Now when it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, 
that Jonathan was dead, they were very sorry. 

17 But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was 
made high priest in his stead, and ruled the counlry, and the 
cities therein : 

18 They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the 
friendship and league which they had made with Judas and 
Jonathan his brethren : 

19 Which writings were read before the congregation at 
Jerusalem. 

20 And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemo- 
nians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, 
unto Simon the high priest, and the elders, and priests, and 
residue of the people of the Jews, our brethren, send greeting : 

21 The ambassadors that were sent unto our people cer- 
tified us of your glory and honour : wherefore we were glad 
of their coming, 

22 And did register the things that they spake in the coun- 
cil of the people in this manner, Numenius son of Antiochus, 
and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews' ambassadors, came unto 
us to renew the friendship they had with us. 

23 And it pleased the people to entertain the men honour- 
ably, and to put the copy of their ambassage in public re- 
cords, to the end the people of the Lacedemonians might have 
a memorial theroof : furthermore, we have written a copy 
thereof unto Simon the high priest. 

24 After this, Simon sent Numenius to Rome with a great 
shield of gold of a thousand pound weight, to confirm the 
league with them. 

25 Whereof when the people heard, they said, What 
thanks shall we give to Simon and hi3 sons ? 

2G For he and his brethren and the house of his father 
have established Israel, and chased away in fight their enemies 
from them, and confirmed tlieir liberty. 

27 So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set 
upon pillars in mount Sion : and this is the copy of the writing ; 
The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred three- 
score and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high 
priest,

corruption 29 Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the 
and trans- coun try, wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and 
leUers"or, the law, Simon the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, 
as some together with his brethren, put themselves in jeopardy, and, 
think, the res j s ti ng: the enemies of their nation, did their nation great 

common f ' ° 

hull where honour : 

they met lo 30 (For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation to 
mattrr-iof gether, and been their high priest, was added to his people, 
estate. ' 31 Their enemies purposed to invade their country, that 
they might destroy it, and lay hands on the sanctuary : 

32 At which time Simon rose up, and fought for his nation, 
II Or, the and spent much of his own substance, and armed || the valiant 
nun nf men Q f .^ nat j oni , U1{ } g ;ive them wages, 

33 And fortified the cities of Judea, together with Bethsura, 
|| Or, thatlicth upon the borders of Judea, where the || armour of the 
weapons, enemies had been before ; but he set a garrison of Jews there : 

34 Moreover, he fortified Joppe, which lieth upon the sea, 
(I Or, and j| Gazara, that bordereth upon Azotus, where the enemies 
Gaza. n . l( j dwelt before : but he placed Jews there, and furnished 

them with all things convenient for the reparation thereof.) 

35 The people therefore, seeing the acts of Simon, and 



governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, 
and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and 
for that he sought by all means to exalt Lis people. 

36 For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that 
the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also 
that were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made 
themselves a tower, out of which they issued, and, polluted all 
about the sanctuary, and did much hurt || in the holy place : I 

37 But he placed Jews therein, and fortified it for the ' 
safety of the country and the city, and raised up the walls of 
Jerusalem. 

38 King Demetrius also confirmed him in the high priest- 
hood according to those things, 

39 And made him one of his friends, and honoured him 
with great honour. 

40 For he had heard say, that the Romans had called the 
Jews their friends and confederates and brethren ; and that 
they had entertained the ambassadors of Simon honourably ; 

41 Also that the Jews and priests were well pleased that 
Simon should be their governor and high priest for ever, until 
there should arise a faithfal prophet ; 

42 Moreover, that he should be their captain, and should 
take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, 
and over the country, and over the armour, and over the for- 
tresses, that, / say, he should take charge of the sanctuary ; 

43 Besides this, that he should be obeyed of every man, 
and that all the writings in the country should be made in his 
name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold : 

44 Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or 
priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, 
or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to 
be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold : 

45 And whosoever should do otherwise, or break any of 
these things, he should be punished. 

46 Thus it liked all the people to deal with Simon, and do 
as hath been said. 

47 Then Simon accepted hereof, and w^s well pleased to 
be high priest, and captain and governor of the Jews and 
priests, and to defend them all. 

48 So they commanded that this writing should be put in 
tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the 
compass of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place ; 

49 Also that the copies thereof should be laid up in the 
treasury, to the end that Simon and his sons might have them. 

CHAP. XV. 
OREOVER Antiochus, son of Demetrius the king, sent 
letters from the isles of the sea unto Simon the priest 
and prince of the Jews, and to all the people ; 

2 The contents whereof were these : King Antiochus to 
Simon the high priest and prince of his nation, and to the 
people of the Jews, greeting : 

3 Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the 
kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge it 
again, that I may restore it to the old estate, and to that end 
have gathered a multitude of foreign soldiers together, ami 
prepared ships of war ; 

4 My meaning also being to go through the country, that I 
may be avenged of them that have destroyed it, and made 
many cities in the kingdom desolate : 

5 Now therefore I confirm unto thee all the oblations which 
the kings before me granted thee, and whatsoever gifts besides 
they granted. 

6 I give thee leave also to coin money for thy country 
with thine own stamp. 

7 And as concerning Jerusalem and the sanctuary, let them 
be free; and all the armour that thou hast made, and for- 
tresses that thou hast built, and keepest in thy hands, let them 
remain unto thee. 

8 And if any thing be, or shall he, owing to the king, let it 
be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore.

came together unto him, so that few were left with Tryphon. 

11 Wherefore, being pursued by king Antiochus, he fled 
unto Dora, which lieth by the sea-side : 

12 For he saw that troubles came upon him all at once, 
and that his forces had forsaken him. 

13 Then camped Antiochus against Dora, having with him 
a hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thou- 
sand horsemen. 

14 And when he had compassed the cit}' round about, and 
joined ships close to the town on the sea-side, he vexed the 
city by land and by sea, neither suffered he an}' to go out or in. 

15 In the mean season came Numenius and his company 
from Rome, having letters to the kings and countries ; wherein 
were written these things : 

16 Lucius, consul of the Romans, unto king Ptolemee, 
greeting : 

17 The Jews' ambassadors, our friends and confederates, 
came unto us to renew the old friendship and league, being sent 
from Simon the high priest, and from the people of the Jews : 

18 And they brought a shield of gold of a thousand pound. 

19 We thought it good therefore to write unto the kings 
and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight 
against them, their cities, or countries, nor yet aid their ene- 
mies against them. 

20 It seemed also good to us to receive the shield of them. 

21 If therefore there be any pestilent fellows, that have fled 
from their country unto you, deliver them unto Simon the high 
priest, that he may punish them according to their own law. 

22 The same things wrote he likewise unto Demetrius the 
king, and Attalus, to || Ariarathes, and Arsaces, 

23 And to all the countries, and to || Sampsames, and the 
Lacedemonians, and to Delus, and Myndus, and Sicyon, and 
Caria, and Samos, and Pamphylia, and Lycia, and Halicarnas- 
sus, and Rhodus, and || Phaselis, and Cos, and Side, and Ara- 
dus, and Gortyna, and Cnidus, and Cyprus, and Cyrene. 

24 And the copy hereof they wrote to Simon the high priest. 

25 So Antiochus the king camped against Dora the second 
day, t assaulting it continually, and making engines, by which 
means he shut up Tryphon, that he could neither go out 
nor in. 

26 At that time Simon sent him two thousand chosen men 
to aid him ; silver also, and gold, and much armour. 

27 Nevertheless he would not receive them,but brake all 
the covenants which he had made with him afore, and became 
strange unto him. 

28 Furthermore he sent unto him Athenobius, one of his 
friends, to commune with him, and say, Ye withhold Joppe 
and Gazara, with the tower that is in Jerusalem, which are 
cities of my realm. 

29 The borders thereof ye have wasted, and done great 
hurt in the land, and got the dominion of many places within 
my kingdom. 

30 Now therefore deliver the cities which ye have taken, 
and the tributes of the places whereof ye have gotten do- 
minion || without the borders of Judea : 

31 Or else give me for them five hundred talents of silver ; 
and for the harm that ye have done, and the tributes of the 
cities, other five hundred talents : if not, we will come and 
|| fight against you. 

32 So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem ; 
and when he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of 
gold and silver plate, and his great attendance, he was as- 
tonished, and told him the king's message. 

33 Then answered Simon, and said unto him, We have 
neither taken other men's land, nor holden that which apper- 
taineth to others, but the inheritance of our fathers, which 
our enemies had wrongfully in possession a certain time. 

34 Wherefore we, having opportunity, hold the inheritance 
of our fathers.

35 And whereas thou demandest Joppe and Gazara, albeit 
they did great harm unto the people in our country, yet will 
we give a hundred talents for them. Hereunto Athenobius 
answered him not a word ; 

36 But returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto 
him of these speeches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all 
that he had seen : whereupon the king was exceeding wroth. 

37 In the mean time fled Tryphon hy ship unto Orthosias. 

38 Then the king made Cendeheus captain of the sea-coast, 
and gave him a host of footmen and horsemen, 

39 And commanded him to remove his host toward Judea : 
also he commanded him to build up Cedron, and to fortify the 
gates, and to war against the people ; but as for the king 
Himself, he pursued Trj^phon. 

40 So Cendebeus came to Jamnia, and began to provoke 
the people, and to invade Judea, and to take the people 
prisoners, and slay them. 

41 And when he had built up Cedron, he set horsemen 
there, and a host of footmen, to the end that issuing out they 
might make outroads upon the ways of Judea, as the king had 
commanded him. 

CHAP. XVI. 
nnHEN came up John from Gazara, and told Simon his 
-*- father what Cendebeus had done. 

2 Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and 
John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father's 
house, have ever from our youth unto this day fought against 
the enemies of Israel ; and things have prospered so well in 
our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes. 

3 But now I am old, and ye, by God's mercy, are of a suf- 
ficient age : be ye instead of me and my brother, and go and 
fight for our nation, and the help from heaven be with you. 

4 So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of 
war with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and 
rested that night at Modin. 

5 And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the 
plain, behold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horse- 
men came against them : howbeit there was a water-brook 
betwixt them. 

6 So he and his people pitched over against them : and 
when he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water- 
brook, he went first over himself, and then the men seeing 
him, passed through after him. 

7 That done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in 
the midst of the footmen : for the enemies' horsemen were 
very many. 

8 Then sounded they with the holy trumpets : whereupon 
Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, so that many of 
them were slain, and the remnant gat them to the strong hold. 

9 At that time was Judas, John's brother, wounded ; but 
John still followed after them, until he came to Cedron, which 
Cendebeus had built. 

10 || So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of 
Azotus ; wherefore he burned it with fire : so that there were 
slain of them about two thousand men. Afterward he re- 
turned into the land of Judea in peace. 

1 1 Moreover, in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeusthe son 
of Abubus made captain, and he had abundance of silver and 
gold : 

12 For he was the high priest's son-in-law. 

13 Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to get 
the country to himself, and thereupon consulted deceitfully 
against Simon and his sons to destroy them. 

14 Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in the 
country, and taking care for the good ordering of them ; at 
which time he came down himself to Jericho with his sons, 
Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threescore and seven- 
teenth year, in the eleventh month, called Sabat : 

15 Where the son of Abubus receiving them deceitfully 
into a little hold called Docus, which he had built, made them 
a great banquet : howbeit he had hid men there. 

16 So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptole- 
mee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and came

upon Simon into the banqueting-place, and slew him, and his 
two sons, and certain of his servants. 

17 In which doing he committed a great treachery, and 
recompensed evil for good. 

18 Then Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king, 
that he should send him a host to aid him, and he would de- 
liver him the country and cities. 

19 He sent others also to Gazara to kill John: and unto 
the t tribunes he sent letters to come unto him, that he might 
give them silver, and gold, and rewards. 

20 And others he sent to take Jerusalem, and the mountain 
of the temple.

laid hands on them that were come to destroy him, and slew

throughout Egypt, health and peace : 

2 God be gracious unto you, and remember his covenant 
that he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful

3 And give you all a heart to serve him, and to do his will, 
with a good courage and a willing mind ; 

4 And open your hearts in his law and commandments, and 
send you peace, 

5 And hear your prayers, and be at one with you, and never 
forsake j'ou in time of trouble. 

6 And now we be here praying for } r ou. 

7 What time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred three- 
score and ninth year, we the Jews wrote unto you in the ex- 
tremity of trouble that came upon us in those years, from the 
time that Jason and his company revolted from the holy land 
and kingdom, 

8 And burned the porch, and shed innocent blood : then 
we prayed unto the Lord, and were heard ; we offered also 
sacrifices and fine flour, and lighted the lamps, and set forth 
the loaves. 

• Lev. 23, 9 And now see that ye keep the feast of a tabernacles in 
a4 - the month Casleu. 

10 In the hundred fourscore and eighth year, the people 
that were at Jerusalem and in Judea, and the council, and 
Judas, sent greeting and health unto Aristobulus, king Ptole- 
meus' master, who was of the stock of the anointed priests, 
and to the Jews that were in Egypt : 

11 Insomuch as God hath delivered us from great perils, 
we thank him highly, as having been in battle against a kins;. 

12 For he cast them out that fought within the holy city. 

13 For when the leader was come into Persia, and the 
army with him that seemed invincible, they were slain in the 
temple of Nanea by the deceit of Nanea's priests. 

14 For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, came 
into the place, and his friends that were with him, to receive 
money in name of a dowry. 

15 Which when the priests of Nanea had set forth, and he 
was entered with a small company into the compass of the tem- 
ple, they shut the temple as soon as Antiochus was come in : 

16 And opening a privy door of the roof, they threw stones 
like thunderbolts, and struck down the captain, hewed them 
in pieces, smote off their heads, and cast them to those that 
were without. 

17 Elessed be our God in all things, who hath delivered 
up the ungodly. 

18 Therefore whereas we are now purposed to keen the 
purification of the temple upon the five and twentieth day of 

b Lev. 23. the month b Casleu, we thought it necessary to certify you 
Num. 29. thereof, that ye also might keep it, as the feast of the taber- 
nacles, and of the fire, rvhich was given us when Neemias of- 
fered sacrifice, after that he had builded the temple and the 
altar. 

19 For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests 
that were then devout took the fire of the altar privily, and 



hid it in a hollow place of a pit without water, where they 
kept it sure, so that the place was unknown to all men. 

20 Now after many years, when it pleased God, Neemias, 
being sent from the king of Persia, did send of the posterity 
of those priests, that had hid it, to the fire : but when they 
told us they found no fire, but thick water ; 

21 Then commanded he them to draw it up, and to bring 
it ; and when the sacrifices were laid on, Neemias commanded 
the priests to sprinkle the wood and the things laid thereupon 
with the water. 

22 When this was done, and the time came that the sun 
shone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was a great 
fire kindled, so that every man marvelled. 

23 And the priests made a prayer whilst the sacrifice was 
consuming, / say, both the priests, and all the rest, Jonathan 
beginning, and the rest answering thereunto, as Neemias did. 

24 And the prayer was after this manner ;.0 Lord, Lord 
God, Creator of all things, who art fearful and strong, and 
righteous, and merciful, and the only and gracious King, 

25 The only giver of all things, the only just, almighty, and 
everlasting, thou that deliverest Israel from all trouble, and 
didst choose the fathers, and sanctify them : 

26 Receive the sacrifice for thy whole people Israel, and 
preserve thine own portion, and sanctify it. 

27 Gather those together that are scattered from us, de- 
liver them that serve among the heathen, look upon them 
that are despised and abhorred, and let the heathen know that 
thou art our God. 

28 Punish them that oppress iis, and with pride do us wrong. 

29 Plant thy people again in thy holy place, as Moses hath 
spoken. 

30 And the priests sung psalms of thanksgiving. 

31 Now when the sacrifice was consumed, Neemias com- 
manded the water that was left to be poured on the great stones. 

32 When this was done, there was kindled a (lame : but it 
was consumed by the light that shined from the altar. 

33 So when this matter was known, it was told the king of 
Persia, that in the place, where the priests that were led 
away had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that || Nee- II Or, 
mias had purified the sacrifices therewith. hiscor£ 

34 Then the king, enclosing the place, made it holy, after pany. 
he had tried the matter. 

35 And the king took many gifts, and bestowed thereof on 
those whom he would gratify. 

36 And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as 
much as to say, A cleansing : but many men call it Nephi. 

CHAP. II. 

IT is also found in the records, that Jeremy the prophet 
commanded them that were carried away to take of the 
fire, as it hath been signified : 

2 And how that the prophet, having given them the law, 
charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, 
and that they should not err in their minds, when they see 
images of silver and gold, with their ornaments. 

3 And with other such speeches exhorted he them, that 
the law should not depart from their hearts. 

4 It was also contained in the same writing, that the

where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of God. fjeven so I think it is with us.

incense, and so stopped the door 

6 And some of those that followed him came to mark the 
way, but they could not find it. 

7 Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, saying, ] 
As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that God { 
gather his people again together, and receive them unto mercy. I 

8 Then shall the Lord shew them these things, and the j 
glory of the Lord shall appear, and the cloud also, as it was] 
shewed unto Moses, and as when Solomon desired that the| 
place might be honourably sanctified. 

9 It was also declared, that he being wise offered thej 
sacrifice of dedication, and of the finishing of the temple. 

10 And as when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire came $ 
down from heaven, and consumed the sacrifices ; even so 
prayed Solomon also, and the fire came down from heaven, 
and consumed the burnt-offerings. 

11 And Moses said, Because the sin-offering was not to be 
eaten, it was consumed. 

12 So Solomon kept those eight days. 

13 The same things also were reported in the writings and 
commentaries of Neemias ; and how he, founding a library, 
gathered together the acts of the kings, and the prophets, and of 
David, and the epistles of the kings concerning the holy gifts. 

14 In like manner also Judas gathered together all those 
things that were lost by reason of the war we had, and they 
remain with us. 

15 Wherefore if ye have need thereof, send some to fetch 
them unto you. 

16 Whereas we then are about to celebrate the purifica- 
tion, we have written unto you, and ye shall do well, if ye 
keep the same days. 

17 j We hope also, that the God, that delivered all his 
people, and gave them all a heritage, and the kingdom, and 
the priesthood, and the sanctuary, 

18 As he promised in the law, w'll shortly have mercy 
upon us, and gather us together out of every land under 
heaven into the holy place : for he hath delivered us out of 
great troubles, and hath purified the place. 

19 Now as concerning Judas Maccabeus, and his brethren, 
and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication 
of the altar, 

20 And the wars against Antiochus Epiphanes, and Eupator 
his son, 

2 1 And the manifest signs that came from heaven unto those 
that behaved themselves manfully to their honour for Juda- 
ism : so that, being but a few, they overcame the whole coun- 
try, and chased barbarous multitudes, 

22 And recovered again the temple renowned all the world 
over, and freed the city, and upheld the laws which were go- 
ing down, the Lord being gracious unto them with all favour : 

23 All these things, I say, heing declared by Jason of Gy- 
rene in five books, we will assay to abridge in one volume. 

24 For considering the infinite number, and the difficulty 
which they find that desire to look into the narrations of the 
story, for the variety of the matter, 

25 We have been careful, that they that will read might 
have delight, and that they that are desirous to commit to 
memory might have ease, and that all into whose hands it 
cometh might have profit. 

26 Therefore to us, that have taken upon us this painful 
labour of abridging, it was not easy, but a matter of sweat andl 
watching ; 

27 Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a banquet, \ 



of the story 

31 But to use brevity, and avoid much labouring of the 
! work, is to be granted to him that will make an abridgment. 

32 Here then will we begin the story : only adding thus 
much to that which hath been said, that it is a foolish thing to 
make a long prologue, and to be short in the story itself. 

CHAP. III. 
OW when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and 
the laws were kept very well, because of the godliness 
of Onias the high priest, and his hatred of wickedness, 

2 It came to pass that even the kings themselves did honour 
the place, and magnify the temple with their best gifts ; 

3 Insomuch that Seleucus king of Asia, of his own revenues, cir. f«7 
bare all the costs belonging to the service of the sacrifices. 

4 But one Simon, of the tribe of Benjamin, who was made 
governor of the temple, fell out with the high priest about 
disorder in the city. 

5 And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat him to 
Apollonius the son of Thraseas, who then was governor of 
Celosyria and Phenice, 

6 And told him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of 
infinite sums of money, so that the multitude of their riches, 
which did not pertain to the account of the sacrifices, was in- 
numerable, and that it was possible to bring all into the king's 
hand. 

7 Now when Apollonius came to the king, and had shewed 
him of the money whereof he was told, the king ehose out 
Heiiodorus his treasurer, and sent him with a commandment 
to bring him the aforesaid mone}'. 

8 So forthwith Heiiodorus took his journey, under a colour 
of visiting the cities of Celosyria and Phenice, but indeed to 
fulfil the king's purpose. 

9 And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been cour- 
teously received of the high priest of the city, he told him 
what intelligence was given of the money, and declared where- 
fore he came, and asked if these things were so indeed. 

10 Then the high priest told him that there was such money 
laid up for the relief of widows and fatherless children : 

1 1 And that some of it belonged to Hircanus son of Tobias 
a man of great dignity, and not as that wicked Simon had mis- 
informed : the sum whereof in all was four hundred talents 
of silver, and two hundred of gold : 

12 And that it was altogether impossible that such wrongs 
should be done unto them, that had committed it to the holi- 
ness of the place, and to the majesty and inviolable sanctity 
of the temple, honoured over all the world. 

13 But Heiiodorus, because of the king's commandment 
given him, said, That in any wise it must be brought into the 
king's treasury. 

14 So at the day which he appointed he entered in to orde^ 
this matter : wherefore there was no small agony throughout 
the whole city. 

15 But the priests, prostrating themselves before the altar 
in the priest's vestments, called unto heaven upon him that 
made a law concerning things given to be kept, that they should 
safely be preserved for such as had committed them to be kept. 

16 Then whoso had looked the high priest in the face, it 
would have wounded his heart : for his countenance and the 
changing of his colour declared the inward agony of his mind. 

! 17 For the man was so compassed with fear and horror 
of the body, that it was manifest to them that looked upon him, 
what sorrow he had now in his heart. 

18 Others ran flocking out of their houses I! to the general

20 And all holding their hands toward heaven, made sup- 1 
plication. 

21 Then it would hare pitied a man to see the falling down] 
of the multitude of all sorts, and the t fear of the high priest, 
being in such an agony. 

22 They then called upon the Almighty Lord to keep the 
things committed of trust sate and sure for those that had com- 
mitted them. 

23 Nevertheless, Heliodorus executed that which was 
decreed. 

24 Now as he was there present himself with his guard 
lOr,Lord about the treasury, the || Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all 

power, caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed 
to come in with him were astonished at the power of God, 
and fainted, and were sore afraid. 

25 For there appeared unto them a horse with a terrible 
rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and 
he ran fiercely, and smote at Heliodorus with his fore-feet, 
and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete 
harness of gold. 

26 Moreover, two other young men appeared before him, 
notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in ap- 
parel, woo stood by him on either side, and scourged him con- 
tinually, and gave him many sore stripes. 

27 And Heliodorus fell suddenly unto the ground, and was 
compassed with great darkness : but they that were with him 
took him up, and put him into a litter. 

28 Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with 
all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being 
unable to help himself with his weapons : and manifestly they 
acknowledged the power of God : 

29 For he by the hand of God was cast down, and lay 
speechless without all hope of life. 

30 But they praised the Lord, that had miraculously 
honoured his own place : for the temple, which a little afore 
was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord ap- 
peared, was filled with joy and gladness. 

31 Then straightway certain of Heliodorus' friends prayed 
Ouias, that he would call upon the Most High, to grant him 
his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost. 

32 So the high priest, suspecting lest the king should mis- 
conceive that some treachery had been done to Heliodorus 
by the Jews, offered a sacrifice for the health of the man. 

33 Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the same 
young men in the same clothing appeared and stood beside 
Heliodorus, saying, Give Oni is the high priest great thanks, 
insomuch as for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life : 

34 And seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven, 
declare unto all men the mighty power of God. And when 
they had spoken these words, they appeared no more. 

35 So Heliodorus, after he had offered sacrifice unto the 
Lord, and made great vows unto him that had saved his life, 
and saluted Onias, returned with his host to the king. 

3G Then testified he to all men the works of the great God, 
which he had seen with his eye-. 

37 And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a 
fit man to be sent yet once again to Jerusalem, he said, 

38 If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him thither, and 
thou shalt receive hirn well scourged, if he escape with his life : 
for in that place, no doubt, there is an especial power of God. 

39 For he that dwelleth in heaven hath hi? eye on that 
place, and defendeth it ; and he beateth and destroyeth them | 
that come to hurt it. 

40 And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping; 
of the treasury, fell out on this sort. 

CHAP. IV. 
IH1S Simon now, of whom we spake afore, having been 
a bewrayer of the money, and of his country, simmered 
Onias, as if he had terrified Heliodorus, and been the worker 
of these evils. 

2 Thus was he bold to call him a traitor, that had deserved 
well of the city, and tendered his own nation, and was so 
zealous of the laws.

3 But when their hatred went so far, that by one of Simon"? 
faction murders were committed, 

4 Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Apol- 
lonius, as being the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, did 
rage, and increase Simon's malice, 

5 He went to the king, not to be an accuser of his country- 
men, but seeking the good of all, both public and private : 

6 For he saw that it was impossible that the state should 
continue quiet, and Simon leave his folly, unless the king did 
look thereunto. 

7 But alter the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, called 
Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias 
laboured underhand to be high priest. 

8 Promising unto the king by intercession three hundred 
and threescore talents of silver, and of another revenue eighty 
talents : 

9 Besides this, he promised to assign a hundred and fifty 
more, if he might have license to set him up a place for ex- 
ercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the 
heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of An- 
tiochians. 

10 Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten 
into his hand the rule, he forthwith brought his own nation 
to the Greekish fashion. 

1 1 And the royal privileges granted of special favour to the 
Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went 
ambassador to flome for amity and -tad, he took away : and 
putting down the governments which were according to the 
law, he brought up new customs against the law : 

12 For he built gladly a place of exercise under the tower 
itself, and brought the chief young men under his subjection, 
and made them wear a hat. 

13 Now such was the height of Greek fashions, and in- 
crease of heathenish manners, through the exceeding pro- 
faneness of Jason, that ungodly wretch, and not high priest ; 

1 4 That the priests had no courage to serve any more at the 
altar, but despising the temple, and neglecting the sacrifices, 
hastened to be partakers of the unlawful allowance in the 
place of exercise, after the game of || Discus called them forth ; 

15 Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking 
the glory of" the Grecians best of all. 

16 By reason whereof sore calamity came upon them : fur 
they had them to be their enemies and avengers, «hose cus- 
tom they followed so earnestly, and unto whom they desired 
to be like in all things. 

1 7 For it i- not a light tiling to do wickedly against the laws 
of God : but the time following shall declare these things. 

18 Now when the game that was used every fifth year wis 
kept at Tyrus, the king bcir,_ 

19 This ungracious Jason sent 1 special messengers from 
Jerusalem. who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred 
drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the 
bearers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon the sacrifice, 
because it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other 
charges. 

20 This money then, in regard of the sender, was ap- 
pointed to Hercules' sacrifice ; but beean-e of the bearers 
thereof, it was employed to the making of gallc\-. 

-1 Now when Apollonias the son of Alenestheus was sent 
into Egypt for the || coronation of king Ptolemeus Philometor, 
Antiochus, understanding him not to be well-affected to his 
affairs, provided for his own safety : whereupon he came to 
Joppe. and from thence to Jerusalem : 

22 Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the 
city, and was brought in with ton- ! with great shout- 

;md so afterward went with his host unto Phenice. 

23 Threo years afterward Jason sent Menelaus, the afore- 
said Simon's brother, to bear the money unto the king, and 
to put him in mind of cert:. in necessary matter-. 

24 Bat he being brought to I -ei.ee of the king, when 
he had magnified him for the . appearance of his 
power, got the priest) ood to 1 ing more than Jason 
by three hundred talents -i -iher.

25 So he came with the king's mandate, bringing nothing 
worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel 
tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast. 

26 Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, be- 
ing undermined by another, was compelled to flee into the 
country of the Ammonites. 

27 So Menelaus got the principality : but as for the money 
that he had promised unto the king, he took no good order for 
it, albeit Sostratus the ruler of the castle required it : 

28 For unto him appertained the gathering of the customs. 
Wherefore they were both called before the king. 

29 Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus in his stead 
in the priesthood ; and Sostratus left Crates, who was gover- 
nor of the Cyprians. 

30 While those things were in doing, they of Tarsus and 
Mallos made insurrection, because they were given to the 
king's concubine, called Antiochis. 

31 Then came the king in all haste to appease matters, 
leaving Andronicus, a man in authority, for his deputy. 

32 Now Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a conve- 
nient time, stole certain vessels of gold out of the temple, and 
gave some of them to Andronicus, and some he sold into Tyrus 
and the cities round about. 

33 Which when Onias knew of a surety, he reproved him, 
and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth 
by Antiochia. 

34 Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, prayed 
him to get Onias into his hands ; who being persuaded there- 
unto, and coming to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand 
with oaths ; and though he were suspected by him, yet per- 
suaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary : whom forth- 
with he shut up without regard of justice. 

35 For the which cause not only the Jews, but many also 
of other nations, took great indignation, and were much 
grieved for the unjust murder of the man. 

36 And when the king was come again from the places about 
Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the 
Greeks that abhorred the fact also, complained because Onias 
was slain without cause. 

37 Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to 
pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behaviour of 
him that was dead. 

38 And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away 
Andronicus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading 
him through the whole city unto that very place, where he 
had committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed 
murderer. Thus the Lord rewarded him his punishment, as 
he had deserved. 

39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the 
city by Lysimachus with the consent of Menelaus, and the 
bruit thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered them- 
selves together against Lysimachus, many vessels of gold being 
already carried away. 

40 Whereupon the common people rising, and being filled 
with rage, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and 
began first to offer violence ; one || Auranus being the leader, 
a man far gone in years, and no less in folly. 

41 They then seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, some of 
them caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust, 
that was next at hand, cast them all together upon Lysima- 
chus, and those that set upon them. 

42 Thus many of them they wounded, and some they 
struck to the ground, and all of them they forced to flee : but 
as for the church-robber himself, him they killed beside the 
treasury. 

43 Of these matters therefore there was an accusation laid 
against Menelaus. 

44 Now when the king came to Tyrus, three men that 
were sent from the senate pleaded the cause before him : 

45 But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee 
the son of Dorymenes, to give him much money, if he would! 
pacify the king toward him. 

46 Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside into a cer-l 




II Or,

Apocrypha. 

tain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to be of 
another mind : 

47 Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from the accu- 
sations, who notwithstanding was cause of all the mischief: 
and those poor men, who, if they had told their cause, yea, 
before the Scythians, should have been judged innocent, them 
he condemned to death. 

48 Thus they that followed the matter for the city, and 
for the people, and for the holy vessels, did soon suffer un- 
just punishment. 

49 Wherefore even they of Tyrus, moved with hatred oi 
that wicked deed, caused them to be honourably buried. 

50 And so, through the covetousness of them that were of 
power, Menelaus remained still in authority, increasing in 
malice, and being a great traitor to the citizens. 

CHAP. V. 
A BOUT the same time Antiochus prepared his second 
-^*- voyage into Egypt : 

2 And then it happened, that through all. the city, for the 
space almost of forty days, there were seen horsemen run- 
ning in the air, in cloth of gold, and armed with lances, like 
a band of soldiers, 

3 And troops of horsemen in array, encountering and run- 
ning one against another, with shaking of shields, and multi- 
tude of || pikes, and drawing of swords, and casting of darts-, 
and glittering of golden ornaments, and harness of all sorts. 

4 Wherefore every man prayed that that apparition might 
turn to good. 

5 Now when there was gone forth a false rumour, as 
though Antiochus had been dead, Jason took at the least a 
thousand men, and suddenly made an assault upon the city ; 
and they that were upon the walls being put back, and the 
city at length taken, Menelaus fled into the castle : 

6 But Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, not con- 
sidering that to get the day of them of his own nation would 
be a most unhappy day for him ; but thinking they had been 
his enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he conquered. 

7 Howbeit, for all this he obtained not the principality, but 
at the last received shame for the reward of his treason, and 
fled again into the country of the Ammonites. 

8 In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being 
accused before Aretas the king of the Arabians, fleeing from 
city to city, parsued of all men, hated as a forsaker of the 
laws, and being had in abomination as an open || enemy of his 
country and countrymen, he was cast out into Egypt. 

9 Thus he that had driven many out of their country, 
perished in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and 
thinking there to find succour by reason of his kindred : 

10 And he that had cast out many unburied had none to 
mourn for him, nor any solemn funerals at all, nor sepulchre 
with his fathers. 

1 1 Now when this that was done came to the king's ear, he 
thought that Judea had revolted : whereupon removing out of 
Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms, 

12 And commanded his men of war not to spare such as 
they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses. 

13 Thus there was killing of young and old, making away 
of men, women, and children, slaying of virgins and infants. 

14 And there were destroyed within three whole days 
fourscore thousand, whereof forty thousand were slain in the 
conflict ; and no fewer sold than slain. 

15 Yet was he not content with this, but presumed to go 
into the most holy temple of all the world ; Menelaus, that 
traitor to the laws, and to his own country, being his guide : 

16 And taking the holy vessels with polluted hands, and 
with profane hands pulling down the things that were dedi- 
cated by other kings to the augmentation and glory and 
honour of the place, he gave them away. 

17 And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he con- 
sidered not that the Lord was angry for a while for the sins 
of them that dwelt in the city, and therefore hi& eye was not 
upon the place. 

18 For had they not been formerly wrapped in many sins,

Before tlus man, as soon as he had come, had forthwith heen scourged, 
and put back from his presumption, as Heliodorus was, whom 
Seleucus the king sent to view the treasury. 

19 Nevertheless, God did not choose the people for the 
place's sake, but the place for the peopled sake. 

20 And therefore the place itself, that was partaker with 
them of the adversity that happened to the nation, did after- 
ward communicate in the benefits sent from the Lord : and as 
It was forsaken in the wrath of the Almighty, so again, the 
great Lord being reconciled, it was set up with all glory. 

21 So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a 
thousand and eight hundred talents, he departed in all haste 
unto Antiochia, weening in his pride to make the land navi- 
gable, and the sea passable by foot : such was the haughtiness 
of his mind. 

22 And he left governors to vex the nation : at Jerusalem, 
Philip, for his country a Phrygian, and for manners more 
barbarous than he that set him there ; 

23 And at Garizim, Andronicus ; and besides, Menelaus, 
who worse than all the rest bare a heavy hand over the citi- 
zens, having a malicious mind against his countrymen the Jews. 

24 He sent also that detestable ringleader Apollonius with 
an army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay 
all those that were in their best age, and to sell the women 
and the younger sort : 

25 Who coming to Jerusalem, and pretending peace, did 
forbear till the holy day of the sabbath, when taking the Jews 
keeping holy day, he commanded his men to arm themselves. 

26 And so he slew all them that were gone to the cele- 
brating of the sabbath, and running through the city with 
weapons slew great multitudes. 

27 But Judas Maccabeus t with nine others, or thereabout, 
withdrew himself into the wilderness, and lived in the moun- 
tains after the manner of beasts, with his company, who fed on 
herbs continually, lest they should be partakers of the pollution. 

CHAP. VI. 
iAntioch. TfcTOT long after this the king sent an old man of || Ath 
Sf.t 3 '" 1 to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of fh 

fathers, and not to live after the laws of God : 

2 And to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call 
it the temple of Jupiter Olympius ; and that in Garizim, of 
Jupiter the Defender of strangers, || as they did desire that 
dwelt in the place. 

3 The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous 
■to the people : 

4 For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the 
Gentiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women 
within the circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought 
in things that were not lawful. 

5 The altar also was filled with profane things, which the 
law forbiddeth. 

6 Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath-days or 
ancient feasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Jew. 

7 And in the day of the king's birth, every month they 
were brought by bitter constraint to eat of the sacrifices ; and 
when the feast of Bacchus was kept, the Jews were com- 
pelled to go in procession to Bacchus, carrying ivy. 

C Moreover, there went out a decree to the neighbour cities 
of the | heathen, by the suggestion of Ptolemce, against the 
Jews, that they should observe the same fashions, and be 
partakers of their sacrifices : 

9 And whoso would not conform themselves to the man- 
ners of the Gentiles should be put to death. Then might a 
man have seen the present misery. 

10 For there were two women brought, who had circum- 
cised their children ; whom when they had openly led round 
about the city, the babes hanging at their breasts, they cast 
them down headlong from the wall. 

1 1 And others, that had run together into caves near by, 
to keep the sabbath-day secretly, being discovered to Philip, 
were all burnt together, because they made a conscience to 
help themselves for the honour of the most sacred day.

not discouraged for these calamities, hut that they judge those Before 
punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of ^ R ]'^ T 
our nation. v^r-v-^/ 

13 For -it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked 
doers are not suffered any long time, but forthwith punished. 

14 For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently 
forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their 
sins, So dealeth he with us, 

\p Lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterward he 
should, take vengeance of us. 

16 And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from 
us : and though he punish with adversity, yet doth he never 
forsake his people. 

17 But let this that we have spoken be for a warning unto clr. l?7. 
us. And now will we come to the declaring of the matter 

in £ew words. 

18 Eleazar, one of the principal scribes, an aged man, and 
of a well-favoured countenance, was constrained to open his 
mouth, and to eat swine's flesh. 

19 But he, choosing rather to die gloriously, than to live 
stained with such an abomination, spit it forth, and came of 
his own accord to the torment, 

20 As it behoved them to come, that are resolute to stand 
out against such tilings as are not lawful for love of life to be 
tasted. 

21 But they that had the charge of that wicked feast, for 
the old acquaintance they had with the man, taking him aside, 
besought him to bring flesh of his own provision, such as 
was lawful for him to use, and make as if he did eat of the 
flesh taken from the sacrifice commanded by the king; 

22 That in so doing he might be delivered from death, and 
for the old friendship with them find favour. 

23 But he began to consider discreetly, and as became his 
age, and the excellency of his ancient years, and the honour 
of his grey head, whereUnto he was come, and his most 
honest education from a child, or rather the holy law made 
and given by God : therefore he answered accordingly, and 
willed them straightways to send him to the grave. 

24 For it becometh not our age, said he, in any wise to 
dissemble, whereby many young persons might think that 
Eleazar, being fourscore years old and ten, were now gone 
to a strange religion ; 

25 And so they through my hypocrisy, and desire to live 
a little time and a moment longer, should be deceived by me, 
and I get a stain to mine old age, and make it abominable. 

26 For though for the present time I should be delivered 
from the punishment of men : yet should I not escape the 
hand of the Almighty, neither alive nor dead. 

27 Wherefore now, manfully changing this life, I will shew 
myself such a one as mine age requireth, 

28 And leave a notable example to such as be young, to 
die willingly and courageously for the honourable and holy 
laws. And when he had said these words, immediately he 
went to the torment : 

29 They that led him changing the good will they bare him 
a little before into hatred, because the aforesaid speeches 
proceeded, as they thought, from || a desperate mind. ■, Or, 

30 But when he was ready to die with stripes, be groaned, madnex, 
and said, It is manifest unto the Lord, that hath the holy know- '"■'■'"' , ' 
ledge, that whereas I might have been delivered from death, 

I now endure sore pains in body by being beaten : but in soul 
am well content to suffer these things, because I fear liiin. 

31 And thus this man died, leaving his death for an exam- 
ple of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto 
young men, but unto all his nation. 

chap. vn. 

IT came to pass also, that seven brethren with their mother 
were taken, and compelled by the king against the law to 
taste swine's flesh, and were tormented with scourges and 
whips. 

2 But one of them that spake first said thus. What would- 
est thou ask or learn of us ? we are ready to die. rather than 
I to transgress the laws of our fathers. 

10& 



Apocrypha. 

3 There the king-, being m a rage, 




II. MACCABEES, 
commanded pans and

caldrons to be made hot 

4 Which forthwith heing heated, he commanded to cut oat 
the tongue of him that spake first, and to cut off the utmost 
parts of his body, the rest of his brethren and his mother 
looking on, 

5 Now when he was thus maimed in all his members, he 
commanded him being yet alive to be brought to the fire, and 
to be fried in the pan : and as the vapour of the pan was for 
a good space dispersed, they exhorted one another with the 
mother to die manfully, saying thus, 

6 The Lord God looketh upon us, and in truth hath comfort 
in us, as a Moses in his song, which witnessed to their faces, 
declared, saying, And he shall be comforted in bis servants. 

7 So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought 
the second to make him a mocking-stock : and when they had 
pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him, 
Wilt thou eat, before thou be punished throughout every 
member of thy body ? 

8 But he answered in his own language, and said, No. 
Wherefore he also received the next torment in order, as the 
former did. 

9 And when he was at the last gasp, he said, Thou like a 
fury takest us out of this present life, but the King of the 
world shall raise us up, who have died for his laws, unto ever- 
lasting life. 

10 After him was the third made a mocking-stock r and 
xvhen he was required, he put out his tongue, and that right 
soon, holding forth his hands manfully, 

1 1 And said courageously, These I had from heaven ; and 
for his laws I despise them j and from him I hope to receive 
them again. 

12 Insomuch that the king, and they that were with him, 
marvelled at the young man's courage, for that he nothing re- 
garded the pains. 

13 Now when this man was dead also, they tormented and 
mangled the fourth in like manner. 

14 So when he was ready to die, he said thus, It is good, 
being put to death by men, to look for hope front God to be 
raised up again by him ; as for thee, thou shaft have no 
resurrection to life. 

15 Afterward they brought the fifth also, and mangled him. 

16 Then looked he unto the king, and said, Thou hast 
power over men, thou art corruptible, thou doest what thou 
wilt ; yet think not that our nation is forsaken of God ; 

17 But abide awhile, and behold his great power, how he 
ivill torment thee and thy seed. 

18 After him also they brought the sixth, who, being ready 
to die, said, Be not deceived without cause ; for we suffer 
these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God : 
therefore marvellous things are done unto us. 

19 But think not thou, that takest in hand to strive against 
God, that thou shalt escape unpunished. 

20 But the mother was marvellous above all, and worthy 
of honourable memory : for when she saw her seven sons 
slain within the space of one day, she bare it with a good 
courage, because of the hope that she had in the Lord. 

21 Yea, she exhorted every one of them in her own lan- 
guage, filled with courageous spirits ; and stirring up her wo- 
manish thoughts with a manly stomach, she said unto them, 

22 I cannot tell how ye came into my womb ; for I nei- 
ther gave you breath nor life, neither was it I that formed 
the members of every one of you ; 

23 But doubtless the Creator of the world, who formed the 
generation of man, and found out the beginning of all things, 
will also of his own mercy give you breath and life again, 
as ye now regard not your ownselves for his laws' sake. 

24 Now Antioehris, thinking himself despised, and suspect- 
ing it to be a reproachful speech, whilst the youngest was yet 
alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him 
with oaths, that he would make him both a rich and a happy 
man, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers ; and that 
also he would take him for his friend, and trust him with affairs. 




Jtpocrypha. 

25 But when the young man would in no case hearken 
unto him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her that 
she would counsel the young man to save his life. 

26 And when he had exhorted her with many words, she 
promised him that she would counsel her son. 

2^7 But she, bowing herself toward him, laughing the cruel 
tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this man- 
ner j O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine 
months in my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and 
nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and en- 
dured the troubles of education. 

28 I beseech thee, my son, look upon the heaven and the 
earth, and all that is therein, and consider that God made them 
of things that were not ; and so was mankind made likewise. 

29 Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy of thy 
brethren, take thy death, that I may receive thee again in 
mercy with thy brethren. 

30 While she was yet speaking these words, the young 
man said, Whom wait ye for ? I will not obey tke king's com- 
mandment : but 1 will obey the commandment of the law that 
was given unto our fathers by Moses. 

31 And thou, that hast been the author of all mischief 
against the Hebrews, shaft not escape the hands of God. 

32 For we suffer because of our sins. 

33 And though the living Lord be angry with us a little 
while for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one 
agait. with his servants. 

34 But thou, O godless man, and of all other most wicked, 
be not lifted up without a cause, nor puffed up with uncertain 
hopes, lifting up thy hand against the servants of God : 

35 For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of Almighty 
God, who seeth all things. 

36 For our brethren, who have now suffered a short pain, 
are dead under God's covenant of everlasting life : but thou, 
through the judgujent of God, shalt receive just punishment 
for thy pride. 

37 But 1, as my brethren, offer up my body and life for the 
laws of onr fithers, beseeching God that he would speedily 
be merciful unto our nation ; and that thou by torments and 
plagues mayest confess, that he alone is God ; 

38 And that in me and my brethren the wrath of the Al- 
mighty, which is justly brought upon all our nation, may cease. 

39 Then the king, being in a rage, handled him worse than 
all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked. 

40 So this man died undefiled, and put his whole trust in 
the Lord. 

41 Last of all, after the sons, the mother died. 

42 Let this be enough now to have spoken concerning the 
idolatrous feasts, and the extreme tortures.

4 And remember the wicked slaughter of harmless infants, 
and the blasphemies committed against his name ; and that he 
would shew his hatred against the wicked. 

5 Now when Maccabeus had his company about him, he 
could not be withstood by the heathen : for the wrath of the 
Lord was turned into mercy. 

6 Therefore he came at unawares, and burned up towns 
and cities, and got into his hands the most commodious places, 
and overcame and put to flight no small number of his enemies. 

7 But specially took he advantage of the night for such 
privy attempts, insomuch that the bruit of his manliness was 
spread every where. 

8 So when Philip saw that this man increased by little and 

106 



CHAP. IX 




Apocrypha. 

little, and that things prospered with him still more and more, 
he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of Celosyria and Phe- 
nice, to yield more aid to the king's affairs. 

9 Then forthwith choosing Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one 
of his special friends, he sent him with no fewer than twenty 
thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole ge- 
neration of the Jews ; and with him he joined also Gorgias 
a captain, who in matters of war had great experience. 

10 So Nicanor undertook to make so much money of the 
captive Jews, as should defray the tribute of two thousand 
talents, which the king was to pay to the Romans. 

1 1 Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the 
sea-coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, and pro- 
mising that they should have fourscore and ten bodies for one 
talent ; not expecting the vengeance that was to follow upon 
him from the Almighty God. 

12 Now when word was brought unto Judas of Nicanor's 
coming, and he had imparted unto those that were with him 
that the army was at hand, 

13 They that were fearful, and distrusted the justice of 
God, fled, and conveyed themselves away. 

14 Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought 
the Lord to deliver them, being sold by the wicked Nicanor 
before they met together : 

15 And if not for their own sakes, yet for the covenants 
he had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glorious 
name's sake, by which they were called. 

16 So Maccabeus called his men together, \into the number 
of six thousand, and exhorted them not to be stricken with ter- 
ror of the enemy, nor to fear the great multitude of the hea- 
then, who came wrongfully against them ; but to fight manfully, 

17 And to set before their eyes the injury that they had 
unjustly done to the holy place, and the cruel handling of the 
city, whereof they made a mockery, and also the taking away 
of the government of their forefathers : 

18 For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness ; 
but our confidence is in the Almighty God, who at a beck can 
cast down both them that come against us, and also all the world. 

19 Moreover, he recounted unto them what helps their 
forefathers had found, and how they were delivered, when 
under Sennacherib a hundred fourscore and five thousand 
perished. 

20 And he told them of the battle that they had in Babylon 
with the Galatians, how they came but eight thousand in all 
to the business, with four thousand Macedonians, and that the 
Macedonians being perplexed, the eight thousand destroyed 
a hundred and twenty thousand, because of the help that they 
had from heaven, and so received a great booty. 

21 Thus when he had made them bold with these words, 
and ready to die for the laws and the country, he divided his 
army into four parts; 

22 And joined with himself his own brethren, leaders of 
each band, to rcit, Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving 
each one fifteen hundred men. 

23 Also he appointed Elcazar to read the holy book : and 
when he had given them this watchword, The help of God ; 
himself leading the first band, ho joined battle with Nicanor. 

24 And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine 
thousand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed the 
most part of Nicanor's host, and so put all to flight ; 

25 And took their money that came to buy them, and pur- 
sued them far : but lacking time they returned : 

26 For it was the day before the sabbath, and therefore 
they would no longer pursue them. 

27 So when they had gathered || their armour together, and 
spoiled their enemies, they occupied themselves about the 
sabbath, yielding exceeding praise and thanks to the Lord, 
who had preserved them unto that day, which was the begin- 
ning of mercy distilling upon them. 

28 And after the sabbath, when they had given part of the 
spoils to the || maimed, and the widows, and orphans, the resi- 
due they divided among themselves and their servants. 

29 When this was done, and thev had made a common sud-

(plication, they besought the merciful Lord to he reconciled 
I with his servants for ever. 

30 Moreover, of those that were with Timotheus and Bac- 
chides, who fought against them, they slew above twenty thou- 
sand, and very easily got high and strong holds, and divided 
among themselves many spoils more, and made the || maimed, 
orphans, widows, yea, and the aged also, equal in spoils 
with themselves. 

31 And when they had gathered their armour together, 
they laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and the 
remnant of the spoils they brought to Jerusalem. 

32 They slew also Philarches that wicked person, who was 
with Timotheus, and had annoyed the Jews many ways. 

33 Furthermore, at such time as they kept the feast for 
the victory in their country, they burnt Callisthenes, that had 
set fire upon the holy gates, who had fled into a little house ; 
and so he received a reward meet for his wickedness. 

34 As for that most ungracious Nicanor, who had brought 
a thousand merchants to buy the Jews, 

35 He was, through the help of the Lord, brought down 
by them of whom he made least account ; and putting off his 
glorious apparel, and discharging his company, he came like 
a fugitive servant through the midland unto Antioch, having 
very great dishonour, for that his host was destroyed. 

36 Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the Ro- 
mans their tribute by means of the captives in Jerusalem, told 
abroad, that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore 
they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws that 
he gave them. 

CHAP. IX. 

ABOUT that time came Antiochus l| with dishonour out of cir. 164. 
ii i e D II Or, dis- 

the country of Persia. orderly. 

2 For he had entered the city called Persepolis, and went 
about to rob the temple, and to hold the city ; whereupon the 
multitude, running to defend themselves with their weapons, 
put them to flight ; and so it happened, that Antiochus, being 
put to flight of the inhabitants, returned with shame. 

3 Now when he came to Ecbatane, news was brought him 
what had happened unto Nicanor and Timotheus. 

4 Then swelling with anger, he thought to avenge upon the 
Jews the disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee. 
Therefore commanded he his chariot-man to drive without 
ceasing, and to despatch the journey, the judgment of God 
now following him. For he had spoken proudly in this sort, 
That he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common 
burying-place of the Jews. 

5 But the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, smote him 
with an incurable and invisible plague : for as soon as he had 
spoken these words, a pain of the bowels that was remediless 
came upon him, and sore torments of the inner parts ; 

6 And that most justly : for he had tormented other men's 
bowels with many and strange torments. 

7 Howbeit, he nothing at all ceased from his bragging, but 
still was filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against 
the Jews, and commanding to haste the journey : but it came 
to pass that he fell down from his chariot, carried violently ; 
so that having a sore fall, all the members of his body were 
much pained. 

8 And thus he that a little afore thought he might command 
the waves of the sea, (so proud was he beyond the condition 
of man) aud weigh the high mountains in a balance, was now 
cast on the ground, and carried in a horse-litter, shewing forth 
unto all the manifest power of God. 

9 So that the worms rose up out of the body of this wicked 
man, and while he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell away, 
and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army. 

10 And the man, that thought a lilllo afore he could reach 
to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry for his 
intolerable stink. 

11 Here therefore bein^ plagued, he bea;nn to leave on his 
great pride, and to come to the knowledge of himself by the 
scourge of God, his pain increasing every moment. 

12 And when he himself could not abide his own smell,

he said these word's, Ft Is meet te be subject unto God, and' 
that a man "that is mortal should not proudly think of himself, 
as if he were God. 

13; This wicked person vowed also unto the Lord (who; 
new mo> more would have mercy upon him), saying thus, 

14 That the holy city (to the which he was going in haste 
to lay it even with the ground,, and to> make it a common 
bury ing-place,,) he would set at liberty : 

15 And as touching, the J e ws, whom he had judged not wor- 
thy to be so much as buried, but to he cast out with their 
children to be devoured of the fowls and wild beasts, he would 
make them all equals with the citizens of ||, Athens : 

16 And the holy temple, which before he had spoiled, he 
would garnish with goodly gifts,, and restore all the holy ves- 
sels; with many more , and out of his own revenue defray the 
charges belonging to the sacrifices : 

17 Yea, and that also he would become a Jew himself, and 
go through all the world that was inhabited,, and declare the 
power of God. 

18 But for all this his pains would not cease : for the just 
judgment of God was come upon him : therefore despairing 
of Ms health, he wrote unto, the Jews the letters underwritten, 
containing the form of a supplication, alter this manner r. 

19 Antiochus,, king and governor, to the good Jews his 
citizens, wisheth much joy, health, and prosperity : 

20, If ye and your children fare well, and your affairs be 
to your contentment, I give very great thanks to God, having 
my hope in heaven. 

21 As for me, I was weak, or else I would have remem- 
bered kindly your honour and good will. Returning out of 
Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it 
necessary to care for the common safety of all :. 

22 Not distrusting my health, but having great hope to es- 
cape this sickness. 

23 But considering that even my father, at what time he 
led an army into the high countries, appointed a successor, 

24 To the end that, if any thing fell out contrary to expect- 
ation, or If any tidings were brought that were grievous, they 
of the land, knowing to whom |] the state was left, might not 
be troubled : 

25 Again, considering how that the princes, that are border- 
ers and neighbours unto my kingdom wait for opportunities, 
and expect what shall be the event, I have appointed my son 
Antiochus king, whom I often committed and commended unto 
many of you, when I went up Into the high provinces ;, to 
whom I have written as followeth : 

26 Therefore I praj- and request you to remember the bene- 
fits that 1 have done unto you generally, and In special, and 
that every man will be still faithful to me and my son. 

27 For I am persuaded that he, || understanding my mind, 
will favourably and graciously yield to your desires. 

28 Thus the murdererand blasphemer having suffered most 
grievously, as he entreated other men, so died he a miserable 
death in a strange country In the mountains. 

^ 29 And Philip, that was brought up with him, carried awav 
his body, who also, fearing the son of Antiochus, went into 
Egypt to Ptolemeus Philometor. 

CHAP. X. 

NOW Maccabeus and his company, the Lord guiding them, 
recovered the temple and the city :. 

2 But the altars which the heathen had built in the open 
street, and also the chapels, they pulled down. 

3 And having cleansed the temple, they made another altar, 
and striking stones they took fire out of them, and offered a 
sacrifice after two years, and set forth Incense, and lights, and 
shewbread. 

4 When that was done, they fell flat down, and besought 
the Lord that they might come no more into such troubles ; 
but if they sinned any more against him, that he himself 
would chasten them with mercy, and that they might not be 
delivered unto the blasphemous and barbarous nations. 

5 Now upon the same day that the strangers profaned the 
temple, on the very same day it was cleansed again, even the!

five and twentieth day of the same month,, which is Caslea. 

6 And they kept eight days with gladness, as in the feast 
of the tabernacles, remembering that not long afore they had 
held the feast of the tabernacles,, when as they wandered in 
the mountains and dens like beasts. 

7 Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and 
palms also, and sang psalms unto him that had given them 
good success in cleansing his place. 

8 They ordained also by a common statute and decree. 
That, every year those days should be kept of the whole na- 
tion of the Jews. 

9 And this was the end of Antiochus, called Epiphanes. 

10 Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupator, 
who was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the 
calamities of the wars. 

11 So when he was come to the crown, he set one Lysias 
over the affairs of his realm, and appointed him chief gover- 
nor of Celosyria and Phenice. 

12 For Ptolemeus, that was called Macron, choosing rather 
to do justice unto the Jews for the wrong that had been done 
unto them, endeavoured to continue peace with them. 

13 Whereupon being accused of the king's friends before 
Eupator, and called traitor at every word, because he had left 
Cyprus, that Philometor had committed unto him, and de- 
parted unto Antiochus Epiphanes, || and seeing that he was |[Or, and 
in no honourable place, he was so discouraged, that he poi- ?°< **<"*- 
soned himself and died. ^authority 

14 But when Gorgias was governor of the || holds, he hired as becom- 
soldiers, and nourished war continually with the Jews : tlema™*' 

15 And therewithal the Idumeans, having gotten into their [j Or, 
hands the most commodious holds, kept the Jews occupied, strong 
and receiving those that were banished from Jerusalem, they p ***■ 
went about to nourish war. 

16 Then they that were with Maccabeus made supplication, 
and besought God that he would be their helper j and so they 
ran with violence upon the strong holds of the Idumeans-, 

17 And assaulting them strongly, they won the holds, and 
kept off all that fought upon the wall, and slew all that felt 
into their hands, and killed no fewer than twenty thousand. 

18 And because certain, who were no less than nine thou- 
sand, were fled together into two very strong castles,, having 
all manner of things convenient to sustain the siege, 

19 Maccabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zaccheus also, 
and them that were with him, who were enough to besiege 
them, and departed himself unto those places which more 
needed his help. 

20 Now || they that were with Simon, being led with cove- \\Or t 
tousness, were persuaded for money through certain of those *" Ma *- 
that were In the castle, and took seventy thousand drachms, 

and let some of them escape. 

21 But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, he 
called the governors of the people together, and accused those 
men that they had sold their brethren for money, and set their 
enemies free to fight against them. 

22 So he slew those that were found traitors, and immedi- 
ately took the two castles. 

23 And having good success with his weapons in all things 
he took in hand, he slew in the two holds more than twenty 
thousand. 

24 Now Timotheus, whom the Jews had overcome before, 
when he had gathered a great multitude of foreign forces, and 
horses out of Asia not a few, came as though he would take 
Jewry by force of arms. 

25 But when he drew near, || they that were with Macca- 
beus turned themselves to> pray unto God, and sprinkled earth 
upon their heads, and girded their loins with sackcloth, 

26 And fell down at the foot of the altar, and besought him "»» «»'** 
to be merciful to them, and to be *■ an enemy to their enemies, 
and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law declareth. 

27 So after the prayer, they took their weapons, and went 
on further from the city : and when they drew near to their 
enemies, they kept by themselves. 

28 Now the sun being newly risen, they joined both togeth-

er ; the one part having, together with their virtue, their re- 
fuge also unto the Lord for a |f pledge of their success and vic- 
tory : the other side making their rage leader of their battle. 

29 But when the battle waxed strong, there appeared unto 
the enemies from heaven five comely men upon horses, with 
bridles of gold, and two of them led the Jews, 

30 And took Maccabeus betwixt them, and covered him on 
every side with their weapons, and kept him safe, but shot 
arrows and lightnings against the enemies : so that being con- 
founded with blindness, and full of trouble, they were killed. 

31 And there were slain of footmen twenty thousand and 
five hundred, and six hundred horsemen. 

32 As for Timotheus himself, he fled into a very strong 
hold, called Gazara, where Chereas was governor. 

33 But they that were with Maccabeus laid siege against 
the fortress courageously four days. 

34 And they that were within, trusting in the strength of 
the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and uttered wicked words. 

35 Nevertheless, upon the fifth day early, twenty young 
men of Maccabeus' company, inflamed with anger because of 
the blasphemies, assaulted the wall manly, and with a fierce 
courage killed all that they met withal. 

36 Others likewise ascending after them, while they were 
busied with them that were within, burned the towers, and 
kindling fires, burned the blasphemers alive ; and others broke 
open the gates, and having received in the rest of the army, 
took the city, 

37 And killed Timotheus, that was hid in a certain pit, and 
Chereas his brother, with Apollophanes. 

36 When this was done, they praised the Lord with psalms 
and thanksgiving, who had done so great things for Israel^, and 
given them the victory. 

CHAP. XI. 
1VTOT long after this, Lysias the king's t protector and 
-*- ' cousin, who also managed the affairs, took sore dis- 
pleasure for the things that were done. 

2 And when he had gathered about fourscore thousand with 
all the horsemen, he came against the Jews, thinking to make 
the city a habitation of the || Gentiles, 

3 And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other chapels of 
the heathen, and to set the high priesthood to sale every year : 

4 Not at all considering the power of God, but puffed up 
with his ten thousands of footmen, and his thousands of horse- 
men, and his fourscore elephants. 

5 So he came to Judea, and drew near to Bethsura, which 
was a strong town, but distant from Jerusalem about five fur- 
longs ; and he laid sore siege unto it. 

6 Now when they that || were with Maccabeus heard that 
he besieged the holds, they and all the people with lamenta- 
tion and tears besought the Lord that he would send a good 
angel to deliver Israel. 

7 Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, ex- 
horting the other that they would jeopard themselves together 
with him to help their brethren : so they went forth together 
with a willing mind. 

8 And as they were at Jerusalem, there appeared before 
them on horseback one in white clothing, shaking his armour 
of gold. 

9 Then they praised the merciful God all together, and 
took heart, insomuch that they were ready not only to fight 
with men, but with most cruel beasts, and to pierce through 
walls of iron. 

10 Thus they marched forward in their armour, having a 
helper from heaven : for the Lord was merciful unto them. 

1 1 And giving a charge upon their enemies like lions, they 
slew eleven thousand footmen, and sixteen hundred horsemen, 
and put all the other to flight. 

12 Many of them also being wounded, escaped naked ; and 
Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and so escaped. 

13 Who, as he was a man of understanding, casting with 
himself what loss he had had, and considering that the He 
brews could not be overcome, because the Almighty God 
helped them, he sent unto them,

14 And persuaded them to agree to all reasonable conditions, Before 
and promised that he would persuade the king that he must 
needs be a friend unto them. 

15 Then Maccabeus consented to all that Lysias desired, 
being careful of the common good ; and whatsoever Maccabeus 
wrote unto Lysias concerning the Jews, the king granted it. 

16 For there were letters written unto the Jews from Ly- 
sias to this effect : Lysias unto the people of the Jews sendeth 
greeting : 

17 John and Absalom, who were sent from you, delivered 
me the petition subscribed, and made request for the per- 
formance of the contents thereof. 

18 Therefore what things soever were meet to be reported 
to the king, I have declared them, and he hath granted as 
much as might be. 

19 If then ye will keep yourselves loyal to the state, here- 
after also will I endeavour to be a means of your good. 

20 But of the particulars I have given order both to these, 
and the others that came from me, to commune with you. 

21 Fare ye well. The hundred and eight and fortieth year, 
the four and twentieth day of the month § Dioscorinthius. 

22 Now the king's letter contained these words : King An- 
tiochus unto his brother Lysias sendeth greeting : 

23 Since our father is translated unto the gods, our will is, 
that they that are in our realm live quietly, that every one 
may attend upon his own affairs. 

24 We understand also that the Jews would not consent to 
our father, for to be brought uato the custom of the Gentiles, 
but had rather keep their own manner of living : for the which 
cause they require of us, that we should suffer them to five 
after their own laws. 

25 Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, 
and we have determined to restore them their temple, that 
they may live according to the customs of their forefathers. 

26 Thou shalt do well therefore to send unto them, and 

|[ grant them peace, that when they are certified of our mind, It Or, 
they may be of good comfort, and ever go cheerfully about |^J *** 
their own affairs. 

27 And the letter of the king unto the nation of the Jews 
was after this manner : King Antiochus sendeth greeting unto 
the council, and the rest of the Jews : 

28 If ye fare well, we have our desire j we are also in 
good health. 

29 Menelaus declared unto us, that your desire was to re- 
turn home, and to follow your own business : 

30 Wherefore they that will depart shall have safe conduct 
till the thirtieth day of Xanthicus with security. 

31 And the Jews shall use their own kind of meats and 
laws, as before ; and none of them any manner of ways shall 
be molested for things ignorantly done. 

32 I have sent also Menelaus, that he may comfort you. 

33 Fare ye well. In the hundred forty and eighth year, 
and in the fifteenth day of the month || Xanthicus. 

34 The Romans also sent unto them a letter containing 
these words : Quintus Memmius and Titus Manlius || ambassa- 
dors of the Romans, sent? greeting unto the people of the Jews. 

35 Whatsoever Lysias the king's cousin hath granted, 
therewith we also are well pleased. 

36 But touching such tilings as he judged to be referred to 
the king, after ye have advised thereof, send one forthwith, 
that we may declare as it is convenient for you : for we are 
now going to Antioch. 

37 Therefore send some with speed, that we may know 
what is your mind. 

38 Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year, 
the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

3 The men of Joppe also did such an ungodly deed : they 
prayed the Jews that dwelt among them to go with their wives 
and children into the boats which they had prepared, as though 
they had meant them no hurt. 

4 Who accepted of it according to the common decree of the 
city, as being desirous to live in peace, and suspecting nothing : 
but when they were gone forth into the deep, they drowned no 
less than two hundred of them. 

5 When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto his countrymen, 
he commanded those that were with him to make them ready. 

6 And calling upon God the righteous Judge, he came against 
those murderers of his brethren, and burned the haven by night, 
and set the boats on fire, and those that fled thither he slew. 

7 And when the town was shut up, he went backward, || as if 
he would return to root out all them of the city of Joppe. 

8 But when he heard that the Jamnites were minded to do in 
like manner unto the Jews that dwelt among them, 

9 He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set fire on 
the haven and the navy, so that the light of the fire was seen at 
Jerusalem two hundred and forty furlongs off. 

10 Now when they were gone from thence nine furlongs in 
their journey toward Timotheus, no fewer than five thousand men 
on fooj and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians set upon him. 

! 1 Whereupon there was a very sore battle : but Judas' side, 
by the help of God, gat the victory ; so that the Nomades of 
Arabia, being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising 
both to give him cattle, and to pleasure him otherwise. 

12 Then Judas, thinking indeed that they would be profitable 
in many things, granted them peace : whereupon they shook 
hands, and so they |] departed to their tents. 

13 He went also about to make a bridge to a certain strong 
city, which was fenced about with walls, and inhabited by peo- 
ple of divers countries ; and the name of it was Caspis. 

14 But they that were within it put such trust in the strength 
of the walls and provision of victuals, that they behaved them- 
selves rudely toward them that were with Judas, railing and 
blaspheming, and uttering- such words as were not to be spoken. 

15 Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon the great 
Lord of the world, who without any Mms or engines of war did 
cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce assault 
against the walls, 

16 And took the city by the will of God, and made unspeaka- 
ble slaughters, insomuch that a lake two furlongs broad near ad- 
joining thereunto, being filled full, was seen running with blood. 

17 Then departed they from thence seven hundred and fifty 
furlongs, and came to Characa unto the Jews that are called 
Tubieni. 

18 But as for Timotheus, they found him not in the places : 
for before he had despatched any thing, he departed from thence, 
having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold. 

1 9 Howbeit, Dositheus and Sosipater, who were of Maccabeus' 
captains, went forth, and slew those that Timotheus had left in 
the fortress, above ten thousand men. 

20 And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and set || them 
over the bands, and went against Timotheus, who had about him 
a hundred and twenty thousand men of foot, and two thousand 
and five hundred horsemen. 

21 Now when Timotheus had knowledge of Judas' coming, he 
sent the women and children and the other baggage unto a for- 
tress called Camion : for the town was hard to besiege, and un- 
easy to come unto, by reason of the straitness of all the places. 

22 But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, 
being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him 
that seeth all things, fled amain, one running this way, another 
that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and 
wounded with the points of their own swords. 

23 Judas also was /-try earnest in pursuing them, killing those 
wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand men. 

24 Moreover Timotheus himself fell into the hands of Dosi- 
theus and Sosipater, whom he besought with much craft to let 
him go with his life, because he had many of the Jews' parents 
and the brethren of some of them, who, if they had put him to 
death, should not be regarded. 

25 So when he had assured them with many words that he 
would restore them without hurt, according to the agreement 
they let him go for the saving of their brethren. 

26 Then Maccabeus marched forth to Carnion, and to the 
temple of || Atargatis, and there he slew five and twenty thou- 
sand persons. 

27 And after he had put to flight and destroyed them, Judas 
removed the host toward Ephron, a strong city, wherein Lysias 
abode, and a great multitude of divers nations, and the strorg 
young men kept the walls, and defended them mightily : wherein 
also was great provision of engines and darts. 



28 But when Judas and his company had called upon Almighty 
God, who with his power breaketh the strength of his enemies, 
they won the city, and slew twenty and five thousand of them 
that were within. 

29 From thence they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth six 
hundred furlongs from Jerusalem. 

30 But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified that the 
Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them, and entreated them 
kindly in the time of their adversity : 

31 They gave them thanks, desiring them to be friendly still 
unto them : and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks 
approaching. 

32 And after the feast called Pentecost, they went forth against 
Gorgias the governor of Idumea, 

33 Who came out with three thousand men of foot, and four 
hundred horsemen. 

34 And it happened, in their fighting together, a few of the 
Jews were slain. 

35 At which time, Dositheus, one of Bacenor's company, who 
was on horseback, and a strong man, was still upon Gorgias, and 
taking hold of his coat drew him by force ; and when he would 
have taken that cursed man alive, a horseman of Thracia coming 
upon him || smote off his shoulder, so that Gorgias fled unto 
Marisa. 

36 Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, 
and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would 
shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle. 

37 And with that he began in his own language, and sung 
psalms with a loud voice, and rushing unawares upon Gorgias' 
men, he put them to flight. 

38 So Judas gathered his host, and came into the city Odollam. 
And when the seventh day came, they purified themselves, as 
the custom was, and kept the sabbath in the same place. 

39 And upon the day following, |] as the use had been, Judas 
and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were 
slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers' graves. 

40 Now under the coats of every one that was slain they found 
things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is forbid- 
den the Jews by a the law. Then every man saw that this was 
the cause wherefore they were slain. 

41 All men therefore praising the Lord, the righteous Judge, 
who had opened the things that were hid, 

42 Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the 
sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance. Be- 
sides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves 
from sin, forsomuch as they saw before their eyes the things that 
came to pass for the sins of those that were slain. 

43 And when he had made a gathering throughout the com- 
pany to the sum of two thousand drachms of silver, he sent it to 
Jerusalem to offer a sin-offering, doing therein very well and 
honestly, in that he was mindful of the resurrection : 

44 For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should 
have risen again, it had been superfluous and vain to pray for 
the dead. 

45 And also in that he perceived that there was great favour 
laid up for those that died godly. (It was a holy and good thought.) 
Whereupon he made a reconciliation for the dead, that they might 
be delivered from sin. 

CHAP. XIII. 

IN the hundred forty and ninth year it was told Judas, that An- 
tiochus Eupator was coming with a great power into Judea, 

2 And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, 
having either ot them a Grecian power, of footmen a hundred and 
ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three hundred, and 
elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chariots armed 
with hooks. 

3 Menelaus also joined himself with them, and with great dis- 
simulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the safeguard of the 
country, but because he thought to have been made governor. 

4 But the King of kings moved Antiochus' mind against this 
wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was 

| the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him 
i untoBerea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in that place. 

5 Now there was in that place a tower of fifty cubits high, 
full of ashes ; and it had a round instrument, which on every side 
hanged down into the ashes. 

6 And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or had com- 
mitted any other grievous crime, there did all men thrust him 
unto death. 

7 Such a death it happened that wicked man to die, not having 
so much as burial in the earth ; and that most justly : 

8 For insomuch as he had committed many sins about the altar, 
i whose fire and ashes were holy, he received his death in ashes.

do far worse to the Jews, than had been done in his father's 
time. 

10 Which things when Judas perceived, he commanded the 
multitude to call upon the Lord night and day, that if ever at any 
other time, he would now also help them, being at the point to be 
put from their law, from their country, and from the holy temple : 

11 And that he would not suffer the people, that || had even 
now been but a little refreshed, to be in subjection to the blas- 
phemous nations. 

12 So when they had all done this together, and besought the 
merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat upon the 
ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, com- 
manded they should be in a readiness. 

13 And Judas, being apart with the elders, determined, before 
the king's host should enter into Judea, and get the city, to go 
forth and try the matter in fight by the help of the Lord. 

14 So when he had committed all to the || Creator of the world, 
and exhorted his soldiers to fight manfully, even unto death, for 
the laws, the temple, the city, the country, and the common- 
wealth, he camped by Modin : 

15 And having given the watchword to them that were about 
him, Victory is of God ; with the most valiant and choice young 
men, he went into the king's tent by night, and slew in the camp 
about four thousand men, and the chiefest of the elephants, with 
all that were upon him. 

16 And at last they filled the camp with fear and tumult, and 
departed with good success. 

17 This was done in the break of the day, because the pro- 
tection of the Lord did help him. 

18 Now when the king had taken a taste of the manliness of 
the Jews, he went about to take the holds by policy, 

19 And marched toward Betbsura, which was a strong hold of 
the Jews : but he was put to flight, filled, and lost of Ids men : 

20 For Judas had conveyed unto them that were in it such 
things as were necessary. 

21 But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews' host, disclosed the 
secrets to the enemies ; therefore he was sought out, and when 
they had gotten him, they put him in prison. 

2^ The king treated with them in Bethsura the second time, 
gave his hand, took theirs, departed, fought with Judas, was 
overcome ; 

23 Heard that Philip, who was left over the affairs in Antioch, 
|| was desperately bent, confounded, entreated ihe Jews, sub- 
mitted himself, and sware to all equal conditions, agreed with 
them, and offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and dealt 
kindly with the place, 

24 And accepted well of Maccabeus, made him principal j 
governor from Ptotemais unto the (ierrbenians ; 

25 Came to Ptoleinais : the people there were grieved for the i 
covenants; for they stormed because they would make their j 
covenants void : 

20 Lysias went up to the judgment-seat, said as much as could 
be in defence of the cause, persuaded, pacified, made them well- 
affected, returned to Antioch. Thus it went touching the king's 
coming and departing.

every side, according to the clemency that thou readily shewest 
unto all. 

10 For as long as Judas livefh, it is not possible that the state 
should be quiet. 

11 This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the king's 
friends, being maliciously set against Judas, did more incense 
Demetrius. 

12 And forthwith calling Nicanor, who had been master 
of the elephants, and making him governor over Judea, be sent 
him forth, 

13 Commanding him to slay Judas, and to scatter them that 
were with him, and to make Alcimus high priest of die great 
temple. 

14 Then the heathen, that had fied out of Judea from Judas, 
came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the harm and calamities of 
the Jews to be their welfare. 

15 Now when the Jews beard of Nicanor's coming, and that 
the heathen || were up against them, they cast earth upon their II Or, 
heads, and made supplication to him that had established his were Join- 
people for ever, and who always helpeth his portion with mani- 
festation of his presence. 

16 So at the commandment of the captain they removed 
straightways from thence, and came near unto them at the town 
of Dessau. 

17 Now Simon, Judas' brother, had joined battle with Nica- 
nor, but was somewhat discomfited through the sudden silence 
of his enemies. 

1 8 Nevertheless Nicanor, hearing of the manliness of them that 
were with Judas, and the courageousness that they had to fight 
for their country, durst not try the matter by the sword. 

19 Wherefore he sent Posidonius, and Theodolua, and Mat- 
tathias, to make peace. 

2) So when they had taken long advisement thereupon, and 
the captain bad made the multitude acquainted therewith, and 
it appeared that they were all of -one mind, they consented to 
the covenants, 

21 And appointed a day to meet in together by themselves : 
and when the day came, and stools were set for either of them, 

22 Judas placed aimed men ready in convenient places, lest 
some treachery shotijd be suddenly practised by the enemies : 
so they made a peaceable conference. 

23 Now Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no hurt, but 
sent away the people that came flocking unto him. 

24 And he would not willingly have Judas out of his sight: 
for he loved the man from his heart. 

25 He prayed him also to take a wife 
so he married, was quiet, and j| took par! of this life.

AFTER three years was Judas informed, that Demetrius, the 
son of Seleucus, having entered by the haven of Tripolis 
with a great power and navy, 

2 Had taken the country, and killed Antiochus, and Lysias 
bis protector. 

1 Now one Alcimus, who had been high priest, and had de- 
filed himself wilfully in the times of their mingling with the (Jen- 
til '/is, seeing that by no means he could save himself, nor have 
any more access to the holy altar, 

i Came to king Demetrius in the hundred and one and fiftieth 
year, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and also 
of the boughs which were || used solemnly in the temple : and 
so that day lie held his peace. 

5 ffowbeit, having gotten opportunity to further his foolish 
enterprise, and being called into council by Demetrius, and 
asked how the Jews stood affected, and what they intended, he 
answered thereunto : 

Those of the Jews that be called Assideans, whose captain 
is Judas Maccabeus, nourish war, and are seditions, and will not 
let the realm be in peace. 

7 Therefore I, being deprived of mine ancestors' honour, I 
mean the high priesthood, am now come hither: 

8 First, verily for the unfeigned care I have of things pertain-; 
ing to the king ; and secondly, even for that i intend the good of, 
mine own countrymen : for all our nation is in no small misery 
through the unadvised dealing of them aforesaid. 

9 Wherefore, O king, seeing thou knowest all these things, 
be careful for the country, and our nation, which is pressed on 



and considering the covenants that were made, came to Deme- 
trius, and told him that Nicanor was not well affected toward 
the state ; for that he had ordained Judas, a traitor to his realm, 
to be the king's successor. 

27 Then the king being in a rage, and provoked with the 
accusations of the most wicked man, wrote to Nicanor, signifying 
that he was much displeased with the covenants, and commanding 
him that he should send Maccabeus prisoner in all haste unto 
Antioch. 

28 When this came to Nicanor's hearing, he was much con- 
founded in himself, and took it grievously that he should make 
void the articles which were agreed upon, the man being in no 
fault. 

29 But l>ecatise there was fir> dealing against the king, he 
watched his time to accomplish this thing by policy. 

30 Notwithstanding, whin Maccabeus saw that Nicanor began 
to be churlish unto him, and that he entreated him more roughly 
than he was wont, perceiving that such sour behaviour came nut 
of good, he gathered together not a few of his men, and with- 
drew- himself from Nicanor. 

31 Hut the otlver, knowing that he was notably prevented by 
Judas' policy, came into the great and holy temple, and com- 
manded the priests, that were offering their usual sacrifices, to 
deliver him the man. 

32 And when they sware that they could not tell where the 
man was whom he sought, 

33 Me stretched out Ids right hand toward the temple, and 
made an oath in this manner : If ye will no! deliver me Judas 
as +;i prisoner, 1 will lay this temple ofGod even with tbe-ground, 

and I will break down the altar, and erect a notable temple unto ■' " ■■><■< 

3 I After these words be departed. 1 hen the priests Idled up 
their hands toward heaven, and besought him that was ever a 
defender of their nation, saying "m this m inner ;

pleased that the temple of thy habitation should be among us :

BfifoTe 36 Therefore now, O holy Lord of all holiness, keep this 
CH *t I ii T house ever undefiled, which lately was cleansed, and stop every 
unrighteous mouth. 

37 Now was there accused unto Nicanor one Razis, one of the 
elders of Jerusalem, a lover of his countrymen, and a man of 
very good report, who for his kindness was called a father of 
the Jews._ 

38 For in the former times, when they mingled not themselves 
with the Gentiles, he had been accused of Judaism, and did 
boldly jeopard his body and life with all vehemency for the re- 
ligion of the Jews. 

39 So Nicanor, willing to declare the hate that he bare unto 
the Jews, sent above five hundred men of war to take him : 

40 For he thought by taking him to do the Jews much hurt. 

41 Now when the multitude would have taken the tower, and 
violently broken into the outer door, and bade that fire should 
be brought to burn it, he being ready to be taken on every side, 
fell upon his sword ; 

42 Choosing rather to die manfully, than to come into the 
hands of the wicked, to be abused otherwise than beseemed his 
noble birth : 

43 But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also 
rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast 
himself down manfully among the thickest of them. 

44 But they quickly giving back, and a space being made, 
he fell down into the midst of the void place. 

45 Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being 
inflamed with anger, he rose up ; and though his blood gushed 
out like spouts of water, and his wounds were grievous, yet he 
ran through the midst of the throng ; and standing upon a steep 
rock, 

46 When as his blood was now quite gone, he plucked out 
his bowels, and taking them in both his hands, he cast them upon 
the throng, and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore 
him those again, he thus died. 

CHAP. XV. 

BUT Nicanor, hearing that Judas and his company were in 
the strong places about Samaria, resolved without any dan- 
ger to set upon them on the sabbath-day. 

2 Nevertheless the Jews that were compelled to go with him 
Said, O destroy not so cruelly and barbarously, but give honour 
to that day, which he, that seeth all things, hath honoured with 
holiness above other days. 

3 Then the most ungracious wretch demanded, if there were 
& Mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath-day 
to be kept, 

4 And when they said, There is in heaven a living Lord, and 
mighty, who commanded the seventh day to be kept : 

5 Then said the other, And I also am mighty upon earth, and 
I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Yet 
he obtained not to have his wicked will done. 

6 So Nicanor in exceeding pride and haughtiness determined 
to set up a public monument of his victory over Judas and them 
that were with him. 

7 But Maccabeus had ever sure confidence that the Lord 
would help him: 

8 Wherefore he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of 
the heathen against them, but to remember the help which in for- 
mer times they had received from heaven, and now to expect the 
victory and aid, which should come unto them from the Almighty. 

9 And so comforting them out of the law and the prophets, 
and withal putting them in mind of the battles that they won 
afore, lie made them more cheerful. 

10 And when he had stirred up their minds, he gave them the 
charge, shewing them therewithal the falsehood of the heathen, 
and the breach of oaths. 

1 1 Thus he armed every one of them, not so much with de- 
fence of shields and spear^ as with comfortable and good words : 
and besides that, he told them a dream worthy to be believed, 
as if it had been so indeed, which did not a little rejoice them. 

12 And this was his vision: That Onias, who had been high 
priest, a virtuous and a good man, reverend in conversation, gen- 
tle in condition, well-spoken also, and exercised from a child in 
all points of virtue, holding up his hands, prayed for the whole 
body of the Jews. 

13 This done, in like manner theje appeared a man with gray 
hairs, and exceeding glorious, who was of a wonderful and ex- 
cellent majesty. 

14 Then Onias answered. saying, This is a lover of the breth- 



ren, who prayeth much for the people, and for the holy city, 
to wit, Jeremias the prophet of God. 

15 Whereupon Jeremias holding forth his right hand, gave to 
Judas a sword of gold, and, in giving it, spake thus, 

16 Take this holy sword, a gift from God, with the which 
thou shalt wound the adversaries. 

17 Thus being well comforted by the words of Judas, which 
were very good, and able to stir them up to valour, and to en- 
courage the hearts of the young men, they determined not to 
pitch camp, but courageously to set upon them and manfully to 
try the matter by conflict, because the city and the sanctuary 
and the temple were in danger. 

18 For the care that they took for their wives, and their chil- 
dren, their brethren, and kinsfolks, was in least account with 
them : but the greatest and principal fear was for the holy temple. 

^9^ Also they fha^vere\in the city took not the least care, 
being troubled for the conflict abroad. 

20 And now, when as all looked what should be the trial, and 
the enemies were already come near, and the army was set in 
array, and the beasts conveniently placed, and the horsemen set 
in wings, 

21 Maccabeus, seeing the coming of the multitude, and the 
divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, 
stretched out his hands toward heaven, and called upon the Lord 
that worketh wonders, knowing that victory cometh not by arms, 
but even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as are 
worthy : 

22 Therefore in his prayer he said after this manner ; O Lord, 
thou didst send thine angel in the time of Ezekias king_of Judea, 
and didst slay in the host of Sennacherib a hundred fourscore 
and five thousand : 

23 Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, send a good angel 
before us for a fear and dread unto them ; 

24 And through the might of thine arm let those be stricken 
with terror, that come against thy holy people to blaspheme. 
And he ended thus. 

25 Then Nicanor and they that were with him came forward 
with trumpets and songs. 

26 But Judas and his company encountered the enemies with 
invocation and prayer. 

27 So that fighting with their hands, and praying unto God 
with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand 
men : for through the appearance of God they were greatly 
cheered. 

28 Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, 
they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his harness. 

29 Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the 
Almighty in their own language. 

30 And Judas, who was ever the chief defender of the citizens 
both in body and mind, and who continued his love toward his 
countrymen all his life, commanded to strike off Nicanor's head, 
and his hand with his shoulder, and bring them to Jerusalem. 

31 So when he was there, and had called them of his nation 
together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them 
that were of the toweT, 

32 And shewed them vile Nicanor's head, and the hand of 
that blasphemer, which with proud brags be had stretched out 
against the holy temple of the Almighty. 

33 And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Nica- 
nor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the 
fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the temple. 

34 So every man praised toward the heaven the glorious Lord, 
saying, Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled. 

35 He hanged also Nicanor's head upon the lower, an evident 
and manifest sign unto all of the help of the Lord. 

36 And they ordained all with a common decree, in no case 
to let that day pass without solemnity, but to celebrate the thir- 
teenth day of the twelfth month, which in the Syrian tongue is 
called Adar, the day before Mardocheus' day. 

37 Thus went it with Nicanor: and from that time forth the 
Hebrews had the city in their power. And here w r ill I make an 
end. 

38 And if I have done well, and as is fitting the story, it is 
that which I desired : but if slenderly and meanly, it is that 
which I could attain unto. 

39 For as it is hurtful to drink wine or water alone ; and as 
wine mingled with water is pleasant, and delighteth the taste : 
even so speech finely framed delighteth the ears of them that 
read the story. And here shall be an end.

IT The GOSPEL according to St. 



MATTHEW. 



CHAP. I. 

1 T7te genealogy of Jesus Christ : 1 8 Mary's miraculous 
conception; Jesus is born; 21,23 his names, with their 
interpretation. 

a FilHE book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the 
A son of David, the son of Abraham. 

2 b Abraham begat Isaac ; and Isaac begat Jacob ; 
and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren ; 

3 c And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar ; 
and Phares begat Esrom ; and Esrom begat Aram ; 

4 d And Aram begat Aminadab ; and Aminadab 
begat Naasson ; and Naasson begat Salmon ; 

5 e And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab ; and Booz 
begat Obed of Ruth ; and Obed begat Jesse ; 

6 f And Jesse begat David the king ; and David 
the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife 
of Urias ; 

7 s And Solomon begat Roboam ; and Roboam 
begat Abia ; and Abia begat Asa ; 

8 h And Asa begat Josaphat ; and Josaphat begat 
Joram ; and Joram begat Ozias ; 

9 ' And Ozias begat Joatham ; and Joatham begat 
Achaz ; and Achaz begat Ezekias ; 

10 k And Ezekias begat Manasses ; and Manasses 
begat Amon ; and Amon begat Josias ; 

1 1 ' And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, 
about the time they were carried away to || Babylon ; 

12 m And after they were brought to Babylon, 
Jechonias begat Salathiel ; and Salathiel begat Zo- 
robabel ; 

1 3 And Zorobabel begat Abiud ; and Abiud begat 
Eliakim ; and Eliakim begat Azor ; 

1 4 And Azor begat Sadoc ; and Sadoc begat 
Achim ; and Achim begat Eliud ; 

15 And Eliud begat Eleazar ; and Eleazar begat 
Matthan ; and Matthan begat Jacob. 

16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, 
of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David 
are fourteen generations ; and from David until the 
carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations ; 
and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ 
are fourteen generations. 

18 IT * " Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this 
wise : When as his mother Mary was espoused to 
Joseph, before they came together, she was found with 
child of the Holy Ghost. 

19 ° Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, 
and not willing to make her a public example, was 
minded to put her away privily. 

20 p But while he thought on these things, behold, 
the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, 
saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take 
unto thee Mary thy wife ; for that which is conceived 
in her is of the Holy Ghost. 

21 i And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt 
call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people 
from their sins. 

22 Now all this was done, that it might be ful- 
filled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, 
saying, 

23 r Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall 
bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Em- 
manuel ; which being interpreted, is, God with us. 



24 Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the 
angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him 
his wife : 

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her 
first-born son : and he called his name JESUS. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Wise men inquire after Christ : 1 1 they worship him, and 
offer presents. 13 Joseph Jleeth into Egypt with Jesus arid 
Mary. 16 Herod slayeth the children at Bethlehem. 
19 Christ brought out of Egypt. 

3 T^J"OW w T hen Jesus was born in Bethlehem of 
J. ^1 Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, 

there came wise men from the east to. Jerusalem, 

2 b Saying, Where is he that is born King of the 
Jews ? for we have seen his star in the east, and are 
come to worship him. 

3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he 
was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 

4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests 
and scribes of the people together, he demanded of 
them where Christ should be born. 

5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: 
for thus it is written by the prophet, 

6 c And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art 
not the least among the princes of Juda : for out of 
thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people 
Israel. 

7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise 
men, inquired of them diligently what time the star 
appeared. 

8 A nd he sent them to Bethlehem ; and said, Go 
and search diligently for the young child ; and when 
ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may 
come and worship him also. 

9 IT When they had heard the king, they departed : 
and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went 
before them, till it came and stood over where the 
young child was. 

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with 
exceeding great joy. 

1 1 IT d And when they were come into the house, 
they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and 
fell down, and worshipped him : and when they had 
opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts ; 
gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 

12 And being warned of God in a dream that they 
should not return to Herod, they departed into their 
own country another way. 

13 IT And when they were departed, behold, the 
angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, 
saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, 
and flee into Egypt, and he thou thereuntil [bring 
thee word : for Herod will seek the young child, to 
destroy him. 

1 4 When he arose, he took the young child and his 
mother by night, and departed into Egypt : 

J 5 e And was there until the t death of Herod, 
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the 
Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I 
called my son. 

1 6 IT Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked 

of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, 

and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and 

in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,

according to the time which he had diligently inquired 
of the wise men. 

1 7 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by 
Jeremy the prophet, saying, 

18 f In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, 
and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping 
for her children, and would not be comforted, because 
they are not. 

19 IT But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of 
the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 

20 s Saying, Arise, and take the young child and 
his mother, and go into the land of Israel : for they 
are dead which sought the young child's life. 

21 And he arose, and took the young child and his 
mother, and came into the land of Israel. 

22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in 
Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid 
to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God 
in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: 

23 h And he came and dwelt in a city called Naza- 
reth : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by 
the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. 

CHAP. III. 

1 John preacheth ; his office, 5 and baptism : 7 he rebuketh the 
Pharisees. 13 Christ baptized by John in Jordan. 

~B~N those days came John the Baptist, preaching in 



for the kingdom of 



the wilderness of Judea, 

2 b And saying, Repent ye 
heaven is at hand. 

3 c For this is he that was spoken of by the pro- 
phet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the 
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make 
his paths straight. 

4 d And the same John had his raiment of camel's 
hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins: and his 
meat was locusts and wild honey. 

5 e Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, 
and all the region round about Jordan, 

6 f And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing 
their sins. 

7 g But when he saw many of the Pharisees and 
Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O 
generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee 
from the wrath to come 1 

8 h Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance : 

9 i And think not to say within yourselves, We 
have Abraham to our father : for I say unto you, that 
God is able of these stones to raise up children unto 
Abraham. 

10 k And now also the axe is laid unto the root of 
the trees : therefore every tree which bringeth not forth 
good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 

11 'I indeed baptize you with water unto repent- 
ance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, 
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear : he shall bap- 
tize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire 

1 2 m Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly 
purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner ; 
but will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 

13 IF "Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan 
unto John, to be baptized of him 

14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be 
baptized of thee, and comest thou to me ? 

15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to 
be so now : for thus it becometh us to fulfil all right 
eousness. Then he suffered him. 

16 ° And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up 
straightway out of the water : and, lo, the heavens

descending like a dove, and lighting upon him : 

17 p And, lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is

1 Christ fasteth, and is tempted: 17 he bcginneth to preach: 

18 he calleth Peter and Andrew • 23 he teacheth in the 
synagogue, and healeth the diseased. 

HEN was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the 
wilderness, to be tempted of the devil. 

2 b And when he had fasted forty days and forty e"zW~3, u. 
nights, he was afterward a hungered. i 24 3 & lo 

3 c And when the tempter came to him, he said, If 2. & 43, 1.' 
thou be the Son of God, command that these stones ^" k l > 12 » 
be made bread. Luke 4, 1,2. 

4 d But he answered and said, It is written, Man Acts 8, 39. 
shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that Deut. 9, '» 
proceedeth out of the mouth of God. ia - . 

5 e Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, s. inss ' 
and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, "»&, ^ 

6 f And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, § ^ a *|J 
cast thyself down : for it is written, He shall give his L <£| h 4 > £ , 
angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands i S aiah'48,'i 
they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy ^'gje. 
foot against a stone. _ &27J53. 35 ' 

7 6 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou Luke4,'9. 
shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 

8 h Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceed 
ing high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms j^ 4 - 9 > 
of the world, and the glory of them •, 

9 * And saith unto him, All these things will I give 
thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 

10 k Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, 
Satan : for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord 
thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 

1 1 l Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels 
came and ministered unto him. 

1 2 IT m Now when Jesus had heard that John was 
cast into prison, he departed into Galilee : 

13 u And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in ;£•,,„ 4 ; 43 
Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders j Mark e, 1 
of Zabulon and Nephthalim : 

14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by 
Esaias the prophet, saying, 

1 5 ° The land of Zabulon, and the land of Neph- 
thalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee 
of the Gentiles; 

1 6 p The people which sat in darkness saw great p Isa - ^ 7 - 
light : and to them which sat in the region and shadow 
of death light is sprung up. 

17 IT q From that time Jesus began to preach, and q^hap. 3,s. 
to say, Repent : for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mark i, w, 

1 8 If r And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, L *; ke 9) 2.

4 b Blessed are they that mourn : for they shall be 
comforted. 

5 c Blessed are the meek : for they shall inherit the 
earth. 

6 d Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after 
righteousness : for they shall be filled. 

7 e Blessed are the merciful : for they shall obtain 
mercy. 

8 f Blessed are the pure in heart : 
God. 

9 E Blessed are the peace-makers 
called the children of God. 

10 h Blessed are they which are persecuted for 
righteousness' sake : for theirs is the kingdom of 
heaven. 

1 1 ' Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and 
persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against 
you falsely, for my sake. 

1 2 k Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is 
your reward in heaven : for so persecuted they the 
prophets which were before you. 

13 IF. ' Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt 
have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted ? it 
is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and 
to be trodden under foot of men. 

1 4 m Ye are the light of the world. A city that is 
set on a hill cannot be hid. 

1 5 n Neither do men light a candle, and put it under 
a bushel, but on a candlestick ; and it giveth light unto 
all that are in the house. 

16 ° Let your light so shine before men, that the}' 
may see your good works, and glorify your Father 
which is in heaven. 

1 7 IT p Think not that I am come to t destroy the 
law or the prophets : I am not come to destroy, but to 
fulfil. 

1 8 q For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and 
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass 
from the law, till all be fulfilled. 

19 r Whosoever therefore shall break one of these 
least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall 
be called the least in the kingdom of heaven : but 
whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be 
called great in the kingdom of heaven. 

20 8 For I say unto you, That except your right- 
eousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes 



CHAP. V. Tfie law expo 

and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the king- 
dom of heaven. 

21 IT 1 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old 
time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill 
shall be in danger of the judgment: 

22 u But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry 
with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of 
the judgment : and whosoever shall say to his brother, 
|| Baca, shall be in danger of the council : but who- 
soever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell 
fire. 

23 x Therefore, if thou bring thy gift to the altar, 
and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught 
against thee, 

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy 
way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come 
and offer thy gift. 

25 y Agree with thine, adversary quickly, while thou 
art in the way with him ; lest at any time the adversary 
deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee 
to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 

26 z Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means 
come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost 
farthing. 

27 1" a Ye have heard that it was said by them of old 
time, Thou shalt not commit adultery : 

28 b But 1 say unto you, That whosoever looketh 
on a woman to lust after her, hat4i committed adultery 
with her already ifi his heart. 

29 c And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, 
and cast it from thee : for it is profitable for thee that 
one of thy members should perish, and not that thy 
whole body should be cast into hell. 

30 c And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, 
and cast it from thee : for it is profitable for thee that 
one of thy members should perish, and not that thy 
whole body should be cast into hell. 

31 d It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away 
his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 

32 d But J say unto you, That whosoever shall put 
away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, 
causeth her to commit, adultery: and whosoever shall 
marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery. 

33 IT e Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by 
them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but 
shait perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 

34 f But J say unto you, Swear not at all : neither 
by heaven; for it is God's throne.: 

35 g Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool : neither 
by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 

36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because 
thou canst not make one hair white or black: 

37 '' But let your communication be, Yea, yea; 
nay, nay : for whatsoever is more than these, cometh 
of evil. 

38 1P Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye 
for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth : 

39 k But 1 say unto you, That ye resist not evil : 
but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, 
turn to him the other also. 

40 'And if any man will sue thee at the law, and 
take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 

41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, 
go with him twain. 

42 "Give to him that ask eth thee, and from him 
that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 

43 f n Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou 
shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy:

3i. them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, 

and pray for them which despitefully use you and 

persecute you ;

which is in heaven : for he maketh his sun to rise on 
the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just 
and on the unjust. 

46 q For if ye love them which love you, what re-

you more than others ? do not even the publicans so ?

CHAP. VI. 

1 Of alms, 5 prayer, 14 forgiveness. 19 Our treasure. 
24 Of God and mammon. 

TAKE heed that ye do not your alms before men, 
to be seen of them : otherwise ye have no reward 
of your Father which is in heaven. 

2 a Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not 
sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in 
the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have 
glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their 
reward. 

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand 
know what thy right hand doeth : 

4 b That thine alms may be in secret : and thy Fa- 
ther, which seeth in secret, himself shall reward thee 
openly. 

5 IF c And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the 
hypocrites are : for they love to pray standing in the 
synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they 
may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They 
have their reward. 

6 d But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy 
closet, and, when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy 
Father which is in secret; and thy Father, which seeth 
in secret, shall reward thee openly. 

7 e But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as 
the heathen do : for they think that they shall be heard 
for their much speaking. 

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them : for your 
Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before 
ye ask him. 

9 f After this manner therefore pray ye : Our

IT ° Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon D o™,° l 
earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where si. ' 
thieves break through and steal : '~^~*T^ 

20 p But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, L|e' 12/34 
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where 
thieves do not break through nor steal : 

21 <3 For where your treasure is, there will your 
heart be also. 

22 -1 r The light of the body is the eye : If there- 
fore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full q 4 Luie J* 

of light : r Luke 11, 

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall 34- 36- 
be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in. 
thee be darkness, how great is that darkness ! 

24 IT s No man can serve two masters : for 
he will hate the one, and love the other ; or else he 
will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye can- 
not serve God and Mammon. 

25 t Therefore 1 say unto you, Take no thought 
for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; 
nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not 
the life more than meat, and the body than raiment ? 

26 u Behold the fowls of the air : for they sow not, u job 38. 4v 
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns ; yet your p s . 3 %4, 9 27. 
heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much Lukt^V' 
better than they ? 

27 x Which of you by taking thought can add one 
cubit unto his stature ? 

28 y And why take ye thought for raiment ? Con- 
sider the lilies of the field, how they grow ; they toil 
not, neither do they spin : 

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in 
all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 

30 z Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the 
field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the 
oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little 
faith? 

3 1 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall 
we eat? or, What shall we drink ? or, Wherewithal 
shall we be clothed ? 

32 a (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) 
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need 
of all these things. 

33 b But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his ^l^ 59 - 
righteousness ; and all these things shall be added unto £»• 34 - 9 - ja 
you. 

34 c Take therefore no thought for the morrow : 
for the morrow shall take thought for the things of 
itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

2 a For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall

3 b And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy 
brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in 
thine own eye ? 

4 c Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me 
pull out the mote out of thine eye : and, behold, a 
beam is in thine own eye ?

11 6 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good 
gifts unto your children, how much more shall your 
Father which is in heaven give good things to them 
that ask him ? 

12 h Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that 
men should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this 
is the law and the prophets. 

1 3 1T ■ Enter ye in at the strait gate : for wide is the 
gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruc- 
tion, and many there be which go in thereat : 

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the 
way, which leadeth unto life ; and few there be that 
find it. 

15 IT k Beware of false prophets, which come to 
MarT'is, 22. you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are raven- 

201 29, mg wolves : 

16 ' Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men 
gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles ? 

1 7 m Even so every good tree bringeth forth good 
fruit ; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 

18 n A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, nei- 
ther can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 

19 "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, is 
hewn down, and cast into the fire. 

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 

21 IF PNot every one that saith unto me, Lord, 
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven ; but he 
that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 

22 q Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, 
have we not prophesied in thy name ? and in thy 
name have cast out devils ? and in thy name done 
many wonderful works ? 

23 r And then will I profess unto them, I never 
knew you : depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 

24 IT s Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings 
of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise 
man, which built his house upon a rock : 

25 s And the rain descended, and the floods came, 
and the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and 
it fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. 

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of 
mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a 
foolish man, which built his house upon the sand : 

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, 
and the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and 
it fell : and great was the fall of it. 

28 IT l And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended 
these sayings, the people were astonished at his doc- 
trine : 

29 * For he taught them as one having authority, 
and not as the scribes.

2 a And, behold, there came a leper and worship- 
ped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make 
me clean. 

3 b And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, 
saying, I will ; be thou clean : And immediately his 
leprosy was cleansed.

but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer 
the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony unto 
them.

there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick 
of the palsy, grievously tormented. 

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal 
him. 

8 e The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am 
not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: 
but speak the word only, and my servant shall be 
healed. 

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers 
under me : and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth ; 
and to another, Come, and he cometh ; and to my 
servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 

1 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to 
them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not 
found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 

1 1 f And I say unto you, That many shall come 
from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abra- 
ham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven : 

1 2 g But the children of the kingdom shall be cast 
out into outer darkness : there shall be weeping and 
gnashing of teeth. 

13 b And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy 
way ; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto 
thee. And his servant was healed in the self-same 
hour. 

1 4 IT ' And when Jesus was come into Peter's 
house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a 
fever. 

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her : 
and she arose, and ministered || unto them. 

16 IT k When the even was come, they, brought 
unto him many that were possessed with devils: and 
he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all 
that were sick : 

1 7 ' That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by 
Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmi- 
ties, and bare our sicknesses. 

1 8 IT m Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about 
him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other 
side. 

19 "And a certain scribe came, and said unto him. 
Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou gocst. 

20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, 
and the birds of the air have nests ; but the Son of 
man hath not where to lay his head. 

21 ° And another of his disciples said unto him, 
Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 

22 p But Jesus said unto him, Follow me ; and 
let the dead bury their dead. 

23 IT i And when he was entered into a ship, his 
disciples followed him. 

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest m the 
sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the 
waves : but he was asleep. 

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke lum, 
saying, Lord, save us : we perish.

cureth (he palsy, 

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, 
O ye of little faith ? Then he arose, and rebuked the 
winds and the sea ; and there was a great calm. 

27 r But the men marvelled, saying, What manner 
of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey 
him ? 

28 IT s And when he was come to the other side, 
into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two 
possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, ex- 
ceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 

29 l And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have 
we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God ? art thou 
come hither to torment us before the time ? 

30 And there was a good way off from them a herd 
of many swinje feeding. 

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast 
us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they 
were come out, they went into the herd of swine : and, 
behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down 
a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters : 

33 And they that kept them fled, and went their 
way into the city, and told every thing, and what was 
befallen to the possessed of the devils. 

34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet 
Jesus : and when they saw him, they besought him 
that he would depart out of their coasts. 

CHAP. IX. 

2 Christ cureth the palsy, 9 calleth Matthew, 10 justifteth 
himself for eating with publicans and sinners: 20 he 
healeth the bloody issue ; 23 raiseth to life the ruler's 
daughter ; 21 giveth sight to two blind men, c/c. 

ND he entered into a ship, and passed over, and 
came into his own city. 

2 b And, behold, they brought to him a man sick 
of the palsy, lying on a bed : and Jesus seeing their 
faith, said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good 
cheer ; thy sins be forgiven thee. 

3 c And, behold, certain of the scribes said within 
themselves, This man blasphemeth. 

4 And Jesus t knowing their thoughts, said, Where- 
fore think ye evil in your hearts ? 

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven 
thee ; or to say, Arise, and walk ? 

6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath 
power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the 
sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto 
thy house. 

7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 

8 But when the multitude saw it, they marvelled, 
and glorified God, which had given such power unto 
men. 

9 IF d And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he 
saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of 
custom : and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he 
arose, and followed him. 

10 IT And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in 
the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came 
and sat down with him and his disciples. 

1 1 e And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto 
his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans 
and sinners ? 

12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, 
They that be whole need not a physician, but they 
that are sick. 

13 f But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will 
have mercy, and not sacrifice : for I am not come to 
call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 




and the bloody issue. 

1 4 IF s Then came to him the disciples of John, say- 
ing, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy 
disciples fast not ? 

1 5 h And Jesus said unto them, Can the children _ 
of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom Marks, is. 
is with them? but the days will come, when the & U i8,i2 3i 
bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall h Act's 10, 
they fast. _ &*#* 

1 6 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an 1 Cor. 7, 5. 
old garment ; for that which is put in to fill it up taketh 
from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 

1 7 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles ; 
else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and 
the bottles perish : but they put new wine into new 
bottles, and both are preserved. 

18 IT ' While he spake these things unto them, be- iMark3,22, 
hold, there came a certain ruler and worshipped him, ^ c j 41 
saying, My daughter is even now dead : but come and 42, &c! 
lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 

1 9 And Jesus arose and followed him, and so did 
his disciples. 

20 IT And, behold, a woman, which was diseased 
with an ; ssue of blood twelve years, came behind him, 
and touched the hem of his garment : 

21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch 
his garment, I shall be whole. 

22 But Jesus turned him about ; and when he saw 
her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort ; thy faith 
hath made thee whole. And the woman was made 
whole from that hour. 

23 If And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, 
and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 

24 He said unto them, Give place ; for the maid is 
not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to 
scorn. 

25 But when the people were put forth, he went 
in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 

26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that 
land. 

27 IT k And when Jesus departed thence, two blind kch. 12,23. 
men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of } v omi 7i 31. 
David, have mercy on us. 

28 And when he was come into the house, the blind 
men came to him : and Jesus saith unto them, Believe 
ye that I%m able to do this ? They said unto him, Yea, 
Lord. 

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According 
to your faith be it unto you. 

30 And their eyes were opened : and Jesus straitly 
charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 

31 But they, when they were departed, spread 
abroad his fame in all that country. 

32 IT ' As they went out, behold, they brought to 22, 23. 
him a dumb man possessed with a devil. Mark 1 !,' It 

33 m And when the devil was cast out, the dumb Luke 11', 15. 
spake : and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was ° h ° a p n '|;2 3 l ; 
never so seen in Israel. • Mark s, r,. 

34 a But the Pharisees said, He casteth out the • Lu J|j„ 13, |^' 
devils through the prince of the devils. 17. " 

35 IT ° And Jesus went about all the cities and vil- ] 7 Kin s s ^ 
lages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the j er . 50, 6. 
gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and Ezek. 34, 2. 
every disease among the people. ch e a p '; 10i ,7. 

36 p But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved Mark 6,34. 
with compassion on them, because they fainted, and 
were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few :

1 Christ sendetk his apostles to do miracles, 5 to preach : 
16 he telleth them of persecutions. 40 Blessings to those 
•who receive them. 
a A ND when he had called unto him his twelve dis- 
J^L ciples, he gave them power against unclean 
spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sick- 
ness and all manner of disease. 

2 b Now the names of the twelve apostles are these : 
the first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his 
brother ; James the son of Zebedee, and John his 
brother ; 

3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew 
the publican ; James the son of Alpheus ; and Lebbeus, 
whose surname was Thaddeus ; 

4 Simon the Canaanite ; and Judas Iscariot, who 
also betrayed him. 

5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded 
them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, 
and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not : 

6 c But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of 
Israel. 

7 d And, as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of 
heaven is at hand. 

8 e Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, 
cast out devils : freely ye have received, freely give. 

9 f Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass, in 
your purses : 

10 g Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, 
neither shoes, nor yet staves : for the workman is 
worthy of his meat. 

1 1 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, 
inquire who in it is worthy ; and there abide till ye go 
thence. 

12 And when ye come into a house, salute it. 

13 h And if the house be worthy, let your peace 
come upon it : but if it be not worthy, let your peace 
return to you. 

1 4 ' And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear 
your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, 
shake off the dust of your feet. 

1 5 k Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable 
for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of 
judgment, than tor that city. 

1 6 IT ' Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst 
of wolves : be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harm- 
less as doves. 

17 m But beware of men : for they will deliver you 
up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their 
synagogues ; 

18 n And ye shall be brought before governors and 
kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and 
the Gentiles. 

1 9 ° But when they deliver you up, take no thought, 
how or what ye shall sp<^k ; for it shall be given you 
in that same hour what ye shall speak. 

20 p For it is not yo that speak, but the Spirit of 
your Father which speaketh in vou. 

21 i And the brother shall deliver up the brother to 
death, and the father the child : and the children shall 
rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put 
to death. 

22 r And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's 
sake ; but he that endureth to the end shall he saved. 

23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye 
into another : for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not

able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and 
one of them shall not fall on the ground without your 
Father. 

30 y But the very hairs of your head are all num- 
bered. 

: 31 Fear ye not therefore; ye are of more value 
than many sparrows. 

32 z Whosoever therefore shall confess me before ; Mark 
men, him will I confess also before my Father which 
is in heaven. 

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him 
will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

after me, is not worthy of me. 

39 e He that fmdeth his life shall lose it : and he 
that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 

40 IT f He that receiveth you, receiveth me ; and he 
that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward ; and he that &"ri.%l

man, shall receive a righteous man's reward. 

42 g And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of g Mark 9, 41.

the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead 
are raised up, And the poor have the gospel preached 
to them. 

6 d And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be of- 
fended in me. 

7 TT e And, as they departed, Jesus began to say unto 
the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out 
into the wilderness to see ? a reed shaken with the 
wind ? 

8 But what went ye out for to see 1 a man clothed 
in soft raiment ? Behold, they that wear soft clothing 
are in kings' houses. 

9 f But what went ye out for to see 1 a prophet ? yea, 
I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 

1 g For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I 
send my messenger before thy face, which shall pre- 
pare thy way before thee. 

1 1 h Verily I say unto you, Among them that are 
born of women there hath not risen a greater than 
John the Baptist : notwithstanding, he that is least in 
the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 

12 ' And from the days of John the Baptist until 
now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and 
the violent take it by force. 

1 3 k For all the prophets and the law prophesied 
until John. 

1 4 ' And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which 
was for to come. 

1 5 m He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

16 1" But whereunto shall I liken this generation ? 
It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and 
calling unto their fellows, 

1 7 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye 
have not danced ; we have mourned unto you, and ye 
have not lamented. 

1 8 ° For John came neither eating nor drinking ; 
and they say, He hath a devil. 

1 9 p The Son of man came eating and drinking ; 
and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a wine- 
bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But Wis- 
dom is justified of her children. 

20 IT q Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein 
most of his mighty works were done, because they 
repented not : 

21 Wo unto thee, Chorazin! wo unto thee, Beth- 
saida ! for if the mighty works which were done in 
you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would 
have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 

22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable 
for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for 
you. 

23 r And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto 
heaven, shalt be brought down to hell : for if the mighty 
works which have been done in thee had been done 
in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 

24 s But I say unto you, That it shall be more 
tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, 
than for thee. 

25 IT l At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank 
thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because 
thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, 
and hast revealed them unto babes. 

26 u Even so, Father : for so it seemed good in thy 
sight. 

27 * All things are delivered unto me of my Father : 
and no man knoweth the Son but the Father ; neither 
knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he 
to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 



28 1T y Come unto me all ye that labour and are 
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

29 z Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me ; for 
I am meek and lowly in heart : and ye shall find rest 
unto your souls. 

30 a For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 Christ reproveth the blindness of the Pharisees concerning 
the breach of the sabbath : 9 he healetk the withered 
hand, fyc. 
'IT that time Jesus went on the sabbath-day 
JTjL through the corn; and his disciples were a hun- 
gered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. 

2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto 
him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful 
to do upon the sabbath-day. 

3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what 
David did when he was a hungered, and they that 
were with him ; 

4 b How he entered into the house of God, and did 
eat the shew-bread, which was not lawful for him to 
eat, neither for them which were with him, but only 
for the priests ? 

5 c Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the 
sabbath-days the priests in the temple profane the 
sabbath, and are blameless ? 

6 d But I say unto you, That in this place is one 
greater than the temple. 

7 e But if ye had known what this meaneth, 1 will 
have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have 
condemned the guiltless. 

8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath- 
day. 

9 IT f And when he was departed thence, he went 
into their synagogue : 

10 g And, behold, there was a man which had his 
hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it 
lawful to heal on the sabbath-days ? that they might 
accuse him. 

1 1 And he said unto them, What man shall there 
be among you that shall have one sheep, and if it fall 
into a pit on the sabbath-day, will he not lay hold on 
it, and lift it out ? 

1 2 How much then t is a man better than a sheep ? 
Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath-days. 

13 h Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy 
hand. And he stretched it forth ; and it was restored 
whole, like as the other. 

14 IT ' Then the Pharisees went out, and held a 
council against him, how they might destroy him. 

15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself 
from thence ; and great multitudes followed him, and 
he healed them all ; 

1 6 And charged them that they should not make 
him known : 

1 7 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by 
Esaias the prophet, saying^. 

18 k Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my 
beloved, in whom my sou! is well pleased : I will put 
my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to 
the Gentiles. 

1 9 He shall not strive, nor cry ; neither shall any 
man hear his voice in the streets. 

20 ' A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking 
flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment 
unto victory. 

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. 

22 IT m Then was brought unto him one possessed

with a devil, blind and dumb : and he healed him, 
insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. 

23 n And all the people were amazed, and said, Is 
this the son of David ? 

24 ° But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, 
This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub 
the prince of the devils. 

25 p And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto 
them, Eveiy kingdom divided against itself is brought 
to desolation ; and every city or house divided against 
itself shall not stand : 

26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against 
himself; how shall then his kingdom stand 1 

27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom 
do your children cast them out ? therefore they shall 
be your judges. 

28 q But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, 
then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 

29 r Or else, how can one enter into a strong man's 
house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the 
strong man 1 and then he will spoil his house. 

30 s He that is not with me is against me ; and he 
that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 

31 l Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin 
and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men : but the 
blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven 
unto men. 

32 u And whosoever speaketh a word against the 
Son of man, it shall be forgiven him : but whosoever 
speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be for- 
given him, neither in this world, neither in the world 
to come. 

33 x Either make the tree good, and his fruit good ; 
or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt : 
for the tree is known by his fruit. 

34 y O generation of vipers ! how can ye, being 
evil, speak good things 1 for out of the abundance of 
the heart the mouth speaketh. 

35 A good man, out of the good treasure of the 
heart, bringeth forth good things : and an evil man, 
out of the evil treasure, bringeth forth evil tilings. 

36 z But I say unto you, That every idle word that 
men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the 
day ofjudgment. 

37 For by thv words thou shalt be justified, and by 
thy words thou shalt be condemned. 

38 IF a Then certain of the scribes and of the Pha- 
risees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign 
from thee. 

39 b But he answered and said to them, An evil and 
adulterous generation seeketh after a sign ; and there 
shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet 
Jonas : 

40 c For as Jonas was three days and three nights 
in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be 
three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 

41 d The men of Niffeveh shall rise in judgment 
with this generation, and shall condemn it : because 
they repented at the preaching of Jonas ; and, behold, 
a greater than Jonas is here. 

42 e The queen of the south shall rise up in the 
judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it : 
for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to 
hear the wisdom of Solomon ; and, behold, a greater 
than Solomon is here. 

43 f When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, 
he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and find- 
eth none. 



44 Then he saith, 1 will return into my house from 
whence I came out ; and when he is come, he findeth 
it empty, swept, and garnished. 

45 E Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven 
other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter 
in and dwell there : and the last state of that man is 
worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto 
this wicked generation. 

46 IT h While he yet talked to the people, behold, 
his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to 
speak with him. 

47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother 
and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak 
with thee. 

48 But he answered and said unto him that told 
him, Who is my mother ? and who are my brethren ? 

49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his dis- 
ciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren ! 

50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father 
which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, 
and mother. 

CHAP. XIII. 

3 Of the sower and the seed. 10 Why Christ spake in para- 
bles. 18 The exposition of the parable of the sower. 
24 Divers other parables, 4»c. 

THE same day went Jesus out of the house, and 
sat by the sea-side. 

2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto 
him, so that he went into a ship, and sat ; and the 
whole multitude stood on the shore. 

3 And he spake many tilings unto them in parables, 
saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow : 

4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way 
side, and the fowls came and devoured them up. 

5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not 
much earth ; and forthwith they sprung up, because 
they had no deepness of earth : 

6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched ; 
and because they had no root, they withered away. 

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns 
sprung up, and choked them. 

8 b But other fell into good ground, and brought 
forth fruit, some a hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some 
thirty-fold. 

9 c Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, 
Why speakest thou unto them in parables ? 

1 1 d He answered and said unto them, Because it 
is given unto you to know the mysteries of the king- 
dom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 

12* For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and 
he shall have more abundance : but whosoever hath 
not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 

1 3 Therefore speak I to them in parables : because 
they seeing, see not ; and hearing, they hear not ; 
neither do they understand. 

14 f And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, 
which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not 
understand ; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not 
perceive : 

1 5 f For this people's heart is waxed gross, and 
their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have 
closed ; lest at any time they should see with their 
eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand 
with their heart, and should be converted, and I should 

heal them. , 

16 e But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and 
vour ears, for they hear.

17 h For verily J say unto you, That many pro- 
phets and righteous men have desired to see those 
things which ye see, and have not seen them ; and to 
hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard 
them. 

18 IT | Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 

1 9 When any one heareth the word of the king- 
dom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked 
one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his 
heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 

20 k But he that received the seed into stony places, 
the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with 
joy receiveth it: 

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for 
a while ; for when tribulation or persecution ariseth 
because of the word, by and by he is offended. 

22 ' He also that received seed among the thorns is 
he that heareth the word ; and the care of this world, 
and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and 
he becometh unfruitful. 

23 But he that received seed into the good ground 
is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it ; 
which also heareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a 
hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty. 

24 IT Another parable put he forth unto them, say- 
ing, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man 
which sowed good seed in his field : 

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed 
tares among the wheat, and went his way. 

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought 
forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 

27 m So the servants of the householder came and 
said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in 
thy field ? from whence then hath it tares ? 

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. 
The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we 
go and gather them up ? 

29 But he said, Nay ; lest while ye gather up the 
tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 

30 u Let both grow together until the harvest : and 
in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather 
ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles 
to burn them : but gather the wheat into my barn. 

31 TT ° Another parable put he forth unto them, 
saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of 
mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his 
field: 

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but 
when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and 
becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and 
lodge in the branches thereof. 

33 IF p Another parable spake he unto them : The 
kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a wo- 
man took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the 
whole was leavened. 

34 q All these things spake Jesus unto the multi- 
tude in parables ; and without a parable spake he 
not unto them : 

35 r That it might be fulfilled which was spoken 
by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in para- 
bles ; I will utter things which have been kept secret 
from the foundation of the world. 

36 IT Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and 
went into the house : and his disciples came unto 
him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares 
of the field. 

37 He answered and said unto them, He that 
Boweth the good seed is the Son of man :

38 3 The field is the world : the good seed are the 
children of the kingdom ; but the tares are the chil- 
dren of the wicked one : 

39 l The enemy that sowed thein is the devil : the 
harvest is the end of the world ; and the reapers are 
the angels. 

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned 
in the fire ; so shall it be in the end of this world. 

41 u The Son of man shall send forth his angels, 
and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things 
that offend, and them which do iniquity ; 

42 x And shall cast them into a furnace of fire : 
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 

43 y Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, 
in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to 
hear, let him hear. 

44 IT z Again : The kingdom of heaven is like unto 
treasure hid in a field ; the which when a man hath 
found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth 
all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 

45 II Again : The kingdom of heaven is like unto 
a merchant-man seeking goodly pearls: 

46 a Who, when he had found one pearl of great 
price, he went and sold all that ho had, and bought it. 

47 IT Again : The kingdom of heaven is like unto 
a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of 
every kind : 

48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, 
and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but 
cast the bad away. 

49 b So shall it be at the end of the world : the 
angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from 
among the just, 

50 c And shall cast them into the furnace of fire : 
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 

5 1 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all 
these things ? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 

52 d Then said he unto them, Therefore every 
scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, 
is like unto a man that is a householder, which bring- 
eth forth out of his treasure things new and old. 

53 IT And it came to pass, that when Jesus had 
finished these parables, he departed thence. 

54 IT e And when he was come into his own coun- 
try, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that 
they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this 
man this wisdom, and these mighty works ? 

55 f Is not this the carpenter's son ? Is not his 
mother called Mary ? and his brethren, James, and 
Joses, and Simon, and Judas ? 

56 And his sisters, are they not all with us|j 
Whence then hath this man all these things ? 

57 g And they were offended in him. But Jesus 
said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, 
save in liis own country, and in his own house. 

58 h And he did not many mighty works there, be- 
cause of their unbelief.

4 c For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee 
to have her. 

5 d And when he would have put him to death, he 
feared the multitude, because they counted him as a 
prophet. 

6 But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the 
daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased 
Herod. 

7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give 
her whatsoever she would ask. 

8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, 
said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. 

9 e And the king was sorry : nevertheless, for the 
oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he 
commanded it to be given her. 

10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 

1 1 And his head was brought in a charger, and 
given to the damsel : and she brought it to her 
mother. 

12 And his disciples came and took up the body, 
and buried it, and went and told Jesus. 

13 IT f When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence 
by ship into a desert place apart : and when the peo- 
ple had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of 
the cities. 

14 6 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great mul- 
titude, and was moved with compassion toward them, 
and he healed their sick. 

1 5 IT And when it was evening, his disciples came 
to liim, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is 
now past ; send the multitude away, that they may go 
into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 

16 h But Jesus said unto them, They need not de- 
part ; give ye them to eat. 

1 7 And they say unto him, We have here but five 
loaves, and two fishes. 

1 8 He said, Bring them hither to me. 

1 9 * And he commanded the multitude to sit down 
on the grass ; and took the five loaves and the two 
fishes, and, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and 
brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the 
disciples to the multitude. 

20 And they did all eat, and were filled : and they 
took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets 
full. 

21 And they that had eaten were about five thou- 
sand men, besides women and children. 

22 IT And straightway Jesus constrained his disci- 
ples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the 

ther side, while he sent the multitudes away. 
k 23 k And when he had sent the multitudes away, 
went up into a mountain apart to pray : and when 
the evening was come, he was there alone. 

24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, 
tossed with waves : for the wind was contrary. 

25 ' And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus 
went unto them, walking on the sea. 

26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the 
sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they 
cried out for fear. 

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, 
Be of good cheer ; || it is I ; be not afraid. 

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it 
be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 

29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come 
down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go 
!to Jesus. 

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, 
and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little 
faith, wherefore didst thou doubt -? 

32 And when they were come into the ship, the 
wind ceased. 

33 m Then they that were in the ship came and wor- 
shipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

1 Of God's commandments, and men's traditions. 10 Christ 
sheweth what defileth a man : 30 he healeth great mul- 
titudes, 8fc. 

a ril HEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which a Mark 7 » r 
JL were of Jerusalem, saying, 

2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of 
the elders ? for they wash not their hands when they 
eat bread. 

3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do 
you also transgress the commandment of God by your 
tradition ? 

4 b For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father l?^,' 2 ?' 12 
and mother : and, He that curseth father or mother, Lev. 19, 3. 
let him die the death. & 20, 9' 

5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or £%{\ 1 
his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest 27, k 
be profited by me ; ag^la 4 

6 c And honour not his father or his mother, he shall 30, 17.

murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, 
blasphemies : 

20 n These are the things which defile a man : but 
to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. 

21 IF Then Jesus went thence, and departed into 
the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of 
the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have 
mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David ! my daughter 
is grievously vexed with a devil. 

23 But he answered her not a word. And his dis- 
ciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away ; 
for she crieth after us. 

24 ° But he answered and said, I am not sent but 
unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 

25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, 
Lord, help me ! 

26 p But he answered and said, It is not meet to 
take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 

27 And she said, Truth, Lord : yet the dogs eat of 
the crumbs which fall from their master's table. 

28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O 
woman, great is thy faith : be it unto thee even as thou 
wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that 
very hour. 

29 IF q And Jesus departed from thence, and came 
nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a 
mountain, and sat down there. 

30 r And great multitudes came unto him, having 
with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, 
and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet ; 
and he healed them : 

31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when 
they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, 
the lame to walk, and the blind to see : and they glori- 
fied the God of Israel. 

32 IF s Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and 
said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they 
continue with me now three days, and have nothing 
to eat : and I will not send them away fasting, lest 
they faint in the way. 

33 * And his disciples say unto him, Whence should 
we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so 
great a multitude ? 

34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves 
have ye ? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 

35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down 
on the ground. 

36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and 
gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, 
and the disciples to the multitude. 

37 And they did all eat, and were filled : and they 
took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets 
full. 

38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, 
besides women and children. 

39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, 
and came into the coasts of Magdala.

2 He answered and said unto them, When it is

3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day ;

and departed. 

5 ^ c And when his disciples were come to the other cMark 8,14. 
side, they had forgotten to take bread. Luke 12, *• 

6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed, and 
beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the 
Sadducees. 

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It 
is because we have taken no bread. 

8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, 
O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, 
because ye have brought no bread ? 

9 d Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the 

five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets dch. 14, 17.

arid sore vexed : for oft-times he falleth into the fire, 
and oft into the water. 

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they 
could not cure him. 

1 7 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and 
perverse generation ! how long shall I be with you ? 
how long shall I suffer you ? Bring him hither to me. 

18 And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed 
out of him : and the child was cured from that very 
hour. 

19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and 
said, Why could not we cast him out ? 

20 ' And Jesus said unto them, Because of your 
unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith 
as a grain of mustard-seed, ye shall say unto this 
mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it

25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into 
the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What think-

take custom or tribute ? of their own children, or of 
strangers ? 

26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith 
unto him, Then are the children free.

1 Christ teacheth to be humble. 7 Touching offences, 21 and 

forgiving one another. 
1 IT the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, ach.20,21. 
J\- saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of MaA ■[' ^- 
heaven ? 

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set 
him in the midst of them, 

3 b And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be 
converted, and become as little children, ye shall not 
enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

4 c Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as 
this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of 
heaven. 

5 d And whoso shall receive one such little child in 
my name, receiveth me. 

6 e But whoso shall offend one of these little ones 
which believe in me, it were better for him that a 
millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he 
were drowned in the depth of the sea. 

7 IT f Wo unto the world because of offences! for /Luke 17,1 
it must needs be that offences come; but wo to that ' Cor - 1K 
man by whom the offence cometh ! 

8 E Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, g Deut 13 
cut them off, and cast them from thee : it is better for chap 5i ^ 
thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than Mark 9, 43 
having two hands, or two feet, to be cast into ever- 
lasting fire. _ 

9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and 
cast it from thee : it is better for thee to enter into 

life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be hGen 
cast into hell-fire. L 2 

10 h Take heed that ye despise not one of these ^. K " )7 
little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their 
angels do always behold the face of my Father which 
is in heaven.

you, He rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the 
ninety and nine which went not astray. 

14 Even so, it is not the will of your Father which 
is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

16 m But if he will not hear thee, then take with 
thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or 
three witnesses every word may be established. 

1 7 n And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it 
unto the church : but if he neglect to hear the church, 
let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a pub- 
lican. 

18° Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall 
bind on earth shall be bound in heaven ; and what- 
soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in 
heaven. 

19 p Again I say unto you, That if two of you 
shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they 
shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father 
which is in heaven. 

20 For where two or three are gathered together in 
my name, there am I in the midst of them. 

21 IF q Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, 
how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive 
him ? till seven times ? 

22 r Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until 
seven times ; but, Until seventy times seven. 

23 IT Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened 
unto a certain king, which would take account of his 
servants. 

24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was 
brought unto him which owed him ten thousand 
talents : 

25 8 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord 
commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, 
and all that he had, and payment to be made. 

26 The servant therefore fell down, and worship- 
ped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I 
will pay thee all. 

27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with 
compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the 
debt. 

28 But the same servant went out, and found one 
of his fellow-servants which owed him || a hundred 

he Roman P ence '•> an ^ ne l 3 ^ hands on him, and t took him by 
the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 

29 And his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, 
and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, 
and I will pay thee all. 

30 And he would not ; but went and cast him into 
prison, till he should pay the debt. 

31 So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, 
they were very sorry, and came and told unto their 
lord all that was done. 

32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, 
said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee 
all that debt, because thou desiredst me : 

33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion 
on thy felJow-servant, even as I had pity on thee ? 

34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to 
the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due 
unto him.

Anno 

1 Christ healeth the sick : 3 he answereth the Pharisees touch- 33. 
trig divorcement : 1 6 he instructeth how to attain everlasting s **^s^ 
lift, Sfc. 

ND it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished * Mark ftJ » 
these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and John's, 2a 
came into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan : & ™. 40- 

2 And great multitudes followed him 5 and he healed 
them there. 

3 1 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting 
him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to 
put away his wife for every cause ? 

4 b And he answered and said unto them, Have ye 
not read, that he which made them at the beginning, 
made them male and female ; 

5 c And said, For this cause shall a man leave father 
and mother, and shall cleave to his wife ; and they 
twain shall be one flesh ? 

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. E(,h - 5> iV 
What therefore God hath joined together, let no man 

put asunder. 

7 d They say unto him, Why did Moses then com- d Deut. 24 
mand to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her *; 5 31 
away? 

8 He saith unto them, Moses, because of the hard- 
ness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your 
wives : but from the beginning it was not so. 

9 e And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away e Jer. 3, 8. 
his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry |$* P £ f ^ 
another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth Lukeie'is! 
her which is put away doth commit adultery. 1 Cor - 7> u 

10 f His disciples say unto him, If the case of the f Pr. 21, 19 
man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 

1 1 g But he said unto them, All men cannot receive g 1 Cor. 7, 
this saying, save they to whom it is given. ^ 7 - 9 - 17 

1 2 h For there are some eunuchs, which were so h isa. 56, a, 
born from their mother's womb : and there are some *> 5 - 
eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men : and there 32. 34. & <£, 
be eunuchs, which have made themselve? sunucns for 5. 15. 
the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to 
receive it, let him receive it. 

1 3 II ! Then were there brought unto him little chil- i Gen. 48, 
dren, that he should put his hands on them, and pray : 14 ' 15- 
and the disciples rebuked them. 

14 k But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid k ch. is, a. 
them not, to come unto me ; for of such is the kingdom ^ a k rk ™*j£ 
of heaven. 1 Cor. 14,. 

15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed 20 - 
thence. 

16 ' And, behold, one came and said unto him, man. 7, is. 
Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may ffi£$)Z 
have eternal life ? 

17 m And he said unto him, Why callest thou me ««-»«• 
good ? there is none good but one, that is God : but if 
thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 

18 n He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou n Ex. 20, 13. 
shalt do no murder. Thou shalt not. commit adultery, DruL 5 ' 17, 
Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness ; 

19 ° Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Thou ° g Lev - iy > 
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. c \i 15,4. & 

20 The young man saith unto him, All these things 22, 39 
have I kept from my youth up : what lack I yet ? c£™' 5( fa

23 IT q Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I 
say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into 
the kingdom of heaven. 

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a 
camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a 
rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceed- 
ingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved ? 

26 r But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, 
With men this is impossible ; but with God all things 
are possible. 

27 IT s Then answered Peter, and said unto him, 
Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee : 
what shall we have therefore ? 

28 4 And JesUs said unto them, Verily I say unto 
you, That ye which have followed me, in the re- 
generation, when the Son of man shall sit in the throne 
of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, 
judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 

29 u And every one that hath forsaken houses, or 
brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or 
children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a 
hundred-fold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 

30 x But many that are first shall be last ; and the 
last shall be first. 

CHAP. XX. 

Of the labourers in the vineyard, 4»c. 
8 ijiOR the kingdom of heaven is like unto a main 
M. that is a householder, which went out early in 
the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 

2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for 
a penny a-day, he sent them into his vineyard. 

3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw 
others standing idle in the market-place, 

4 b And said unto them, Go ye also into the vine- 
yard ; and whatsoever is right, I will give you. And 
they went their way. 

5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, 
and did likewise. 

6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and 
found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why 
stand ye here all the day idle ? 

7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired 
us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vine- 
yard ; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 

8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard 
saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give 
them their hire, beginning from the last unto the 
first. 

9 c And when they came that were hired about the 
eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 

10 But when the first came, they supposed that they 
should have received more; and they likewise received 
every man a penny. 

1 1 And when they had received it, they murmured 
against the good man of the house, 

12 d Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, 
and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have 
borne the burden and heat of the day. 

1 3 But he answered one of them, and said, t Friend, 
I do thee no wrong : didst not thou agree with me for 
a penny ? 

14 Take that thine is, and go thy way : I will give 
unto this last even as unto thee. 

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with 
mine own ? Is thine eye evil because I am good ? 

10 e So the last shall be first, and the first last : for 
many be called, but few chosen. 
4 F 



1 7 IT f A nd Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the 
twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, 

1 8 6 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem ; and the Son 
of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and 
unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 

1 9 h And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, 
and to scourge, and to crucify him : and the third day 
he shall rise again. 

20 IT ' Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's 
children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring 
a certain thing of him. 

21 k And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She 
saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, 
the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in 
thy kingdom. 

22 ' But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not 
what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I 
shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism 
that I am baptized with 1 They say unto him, We are 
able. 

23 m And he saith unto them. Ye shall drink indeed 
of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I 
am baptized with ; but to sit on my right hand, and on 
my left, is not mine to give, t but it shall be given to 
them for whom it is prepared of my Father. 

24 n And when the ten heard it, they were moved 
with indignation against the two brethren. 

25 ° But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye 
know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise do- 
minion over them, and they that are great exercise 
authority upon them. 

26 But it shall not be so among you : but whosoever 
will be great among you, let him be your minister ; 

27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let 
him be your servant : 

28 p Even as the Son of man came not to be minis- 
tered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom 
for many. 

29 IT q And as they departed from Jericho, a great 
multitude followed him. 

30 r And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way 
side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, 
saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of 
David ! ik 

31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they 
should hold their peace : but they cried the more, say- 
ing, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David ! 

32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, 
What will ye that I shall do unto you ? 

33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be 
opened. 

34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched 
their eyes : and immediately their eyes received sight, 
and they followed him.

Christ rideth into Jerusalem on an ass, 4rc. 
a A ND when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and 
J\. were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of 
Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 

2 Saying unto them, Go into the village oyer against 
you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a 
colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 

3 And if any man say aught unto you, ye shall say, 
The Lord hath need of them ; and straightway he will 
send them. , , ...

was spoken by the prophet, saying,

cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and 
a colt the foal of an ass. 

6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus com- 
manded them, 

7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them 
their clothes, and they set him thereon. 

8 c And a very great multitude spread their gar- 
ments in the way ; others cut down branches from the 
trees, and strawed them in the way. 

9 d And the multitudes that went before, and that 
followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David ! 
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord ; 
Hosanna in the highest ! 

10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the 
city was moved, saying, Who is this ? 

1 1 e And the multitude said, This is Jesus, the pro- 
phet of Nazareth of Galilee. 

12 IT f And Jesus went into the temple of God, and 
cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, 
and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and 
the seats of them that sold doves ; 

1 3 g And said unto them, It is written, My house 
shall be called the house of prayer ; but ye have made 
it a den of thieves. 

1 4 And the blind and the lame came to him in the 
temple ; and he healed them. 

15 IT And when the chief priests and scribes saw 
the wonderful things that he did, and the children cry- 
ing in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of 
David ! they were sore displeased, 

1 6 h And said unto him, Hearest thou what these 
say ? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea : have ye never 
read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou 
hast perfected praise ? 

1 7 IF ' And he left them, and went out of the city 
into Bethany ; and he lodged there. 

1 8 k Now in the morning, as he returned into the 
city, he hungered. 

19 And when he saw a fig-tree in the way, he came 
to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and 
said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward 
for ever. And presently the fig-tree withered away. 

20 ' And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, 
saying, How soon is the fig-tree withered away ! 

2 1 m Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily 1 
say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall 
not only do this which is done to the fig-tree, but also, 
if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, 
and be thou cast into the sea, it shall be done. 

22 n And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in 
prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 

23 IT ° And when he was come into the temple, the 
chief priests and the elders of the people came unto 
him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority 
doest thou these things 1 and who gave thee this 
authority ? 

24 p And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also 
will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like 
wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 

25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from 
heaven, or of men 1 And they reasoned with them- 
selves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven ; he will 
say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him ? 

26 i But if we shall say, Of men ; we fear the peo- 
ple ; for all hold John as a prophet. 

27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot 
tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by 
what authority I do these things. 




28 1 But what think ye ? A certain man had two 
sons ; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work 
to-day in my vineyard. 

29 He answered and said, I will not ; but after- 
wards he repented, and went. 

30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. 
And he answered and said, I go, sir ; and went not. 

31 r Whether of them twain did the will of his fa- 
ther ? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto 
them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and 
the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 

32 s For John came unto you in the way of right- 
eousness, and ye believed him not ; but the publicans 
and the harlots believed him : and ye, when ye had 
seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe 
him. 

33 H ' Hear another parable : There was a certain 
householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged 
it round about, and digged a wine-press in it, and built 
a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into 
a far country : 

34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he 
sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might 
receive the fruits of it. 

35 u And the husbandmen took his servants, and 
beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 

36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first : 
and they did unto them likewise. 

37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, 
They will reverence my son. 

38 x But when the husbandmen saw the son, they 
said among themselves, This is the heir ; come, let us 
kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 

39 y And they caught him, and cast him out of the 
vineyard, and slew him. 

40 When the lord, therefore, of the vineyard cometh, 
what will he do unto those husbandmen 1 

4 1 z They say unto him, He will miserably destroy 
those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto 
other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits 
in their seasons. 

42 a Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the 
scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the 
same is become the head of the corner : this is the 
Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes ? 

43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God 
shall be b taken from you, and given to a nation bring- 
ing forth the fruits thereof. 

44 c And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be 
broken : but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind 
him to powder. 

45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had 
heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of 
them. 

46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they 
feared the multitude, because they took him for a 
prophet.

them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my 
dinner ; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all 
things are ready : come unto the marriage. 

5 b But they made light of it, and went their ways, 
one to his farm, another to his merchandise : 

6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated 
them spitefully, and slew them. 

7 c But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth : 
and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those mur- 
derers, and burned up their city. 

8 d Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is 
ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 

9 e Go ye, therefore, into the highways ; and as 
many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 

1 So those servants went out into the highways, 
and gathered together all, as many as they found, both 
bad and good : and the wedding was furnished with 
guests. 

11 IT f And when the king came in to see the guests, 
he saw there a man which had not on a wedding 
garment : 

1 2 And he saith unto him, Friend, how earnest thou 
in hither, not having a wedding garment ? And he was 
t speechless. 

13 g Then said the king to the servants, Bind him 
hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into 
outer darkness ; there shall be weeping and gnashing 
of teeth. 

1 4 h For many are called, but few are chosen. 

1 5 IT * Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel 
how they might entangle him in his talk. 

1 6 And they sent out unto him their disciples with 
the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art 
true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither 
carest thou for any man ; for thou regardest not the 
person of men. 

1 7 k Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou ? Is it 
lawful to give tribute unto Cesar, or not ? 

1 8 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, 
Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 

1 9 Shew me the tribute-money. And they brought 
unto him a penny. 

20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image 
and superscription ? 

21 ' They say unto him, Cesar's. Then saith he 
unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things 
which are Cesar's, and unto God the things that are 
God's. 

22 When they had heard these words, they mar- 
velled, and left him, and went their way. 

23 l m The same day came to him the Sadducees, 
which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 

24 " Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, 
having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, 
and raise up seed unto his brother. 

25 Now there were with us seven brethren : and 
the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, 
having no issue, left his wife unto his brother : 

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto 
the seventh. 

27 And last of all the woman died also. 

28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife shall 
she be of the seven ? for they all had her. 

29 ° Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, 
not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 

30 p For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor 
are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in 
heaven. 



31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, 
have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by 
God, saying, 

32 q I am the God of Abraham, and the God of 
Isaac, and the God of Jacob ? God is not the God of 
the dead, but of the living. 

33 r And when the multitude heard this, they were 
astonished at his doctrine. 

34 ir s But when the Pharisees had heard that he 
had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered 
together. 

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked 
him a qtiestion, tempting him, and saying, 

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the 
law? 

37 * Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord 
thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and 
with all thy mind. 

38 This is the first and great commandment. 

39 u And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love 
thy neighbour as thyself. 

40 On these two commandments hang all the law 
and the prophets. 

41 IT x While the Pharisees were gathered together, 
Jesus asked them, 

42 Saying, What think ye of Christ ? whose son is 
he ? They say unto him, The son of David. 

43 y He saith unto them, How then doth David in 
spirit call him Lord ? saying, 

44 z The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my 
right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 

45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son ? 

46 a And no man was able to answer him a word ; 
neither durst any man, from that day forth, ask him 
any more questions. 

CHAP. XXIII. 

1 Of the scribes and Pharisees' good doctrine, but evil exam- 
ples of life. 34 The destruction of Jerusalem foretold. 

THEN spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his 
disciples, 

2 a Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in 
Moses' seat: 

3 All, therefore, whatsoever they bid you observe, 
that observe and do ; but do not ye after their works : 
for they say, and do not. 

4 b For they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to 
be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders ; but they 
themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 

5 c But all their works they do for to be seen of 
men : they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge 
the borders of their garments, 

6 u And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the 
chief seats in the synagogues, 

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of 
men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 

8 e But be not ye called Rabbi : for one is your 
Master, even Christ ; and all ye are brethren. 

9 f And call no man your father upon the earth : 
for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 

10 Neither be ye called masters : for one is your 
Master, even Christ. 

11 8 But he that is greatest among you shall be 
your servant. 

12 h And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be 
abased ; and he that shall humble himself shall be 

exalted. 

13 IT ' But wo unto you, scribes and rnansees, 
hvnocrites ! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven

tence make long prayer : therefore ye shall receive

15 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocntes !

Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing ; 
but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, 
he is a debtor. 

1 7 Ye fools, and blind ! for whether is greater, the 
gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold ? 

18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is 
nothing ; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is 
upon it, he is guilty. 

1 9 m Ye fools, and blind ! for whether is greater,

23 ° Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo-

25 p Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo-

26 q Thou blind Pharisee ! cleanse first that which 
is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them 
may be clean also. 

27 r Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed 
appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead 
men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous 
unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and 
iniquity. 

29 B Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo- 
crites ! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, 
and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 

30 And say, If we had been in the days of our 
fathers, we would not have been partakers with them

no, nor ever shall be. 

22 And except those days shomu be shortened, there 
should no flesh be saved : but for the elect's sake 
those days shall be shortened. 

23 r Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here 
is Christ, or there ; believe it not. 

24 3 For there shall arise false christs, and false 
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders ; 
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive 
the very elect. 

25 Behold, I have told you before. 

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, 
he is in the desert ; go not forth : Behold, he is in the 
secret chambers ; believe it not. 

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, 
and shineth even unto the west ; so shall also the 
coming of the Son of man be. 

28 * For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the 
nisa.13,10. eagles be gathered together. 

Exek. 32, 7. 29 1 u Immediately after the tribulation of those 
Joel 2, io. days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall 
not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, 
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken : 

30 x And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man 
in heaven : and then shall all the tribes of the earth 
mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming 
in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 

31 y And he shall send his angels with a great 
sound of a trumpet ; and they shall gather together 
his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven 
to the other. 

32 IT Now learn a parable of the fig-tree : When 
his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye 
know that summer is nigh : 

33 z So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these 
things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 

34 a Verily I say unto you, This generation shall 
not pass till all these things be fulfilled. 

35 b Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my 
words shall not pass away. 

36 IT c But of that clay and hour knoweth no man, 
no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 

37 d But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the 
coming of the Son of man be. 

38 For as in the days that were before the flood 
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in 
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 

39 And knew not, until the flood came and took 
them all away ; so shall also the coming of the Son 

» fiXS of man be - 

e Luke 17, 40 e Then shall two be in the field ; the one shall 
be taken, and the other left. 

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill ; the 
one shali be taken, and the other left. 

42 IT f Watch therefore ; for ye know not what hour 
your Lord doth come. 

43 E But know this, that if the good man of the 
lev.'K'&A house had known in what watch the thief would 
h $ i Th 5 come ' ne w °uld have watched, and would not have 
6 . ' suffered his house to be broken up. 

44 b Therefore be ye also ready : for in such an hour 
as you think not the Son of man cometh. 

45 ' Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom 
his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give 
them meat in due season ? 

46 k Blessed is that servant whom his lord, when 
he cometh, shall find so doing.

went forth to meet the bridegroom 

2 b And five of them were wise, and five 
foolish. 

3 They that were foolish look their lamps, and took 
no oil with them : 

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their 
lamps. 

5 c While the bridegroom tarried, they all slum- 
bered and slept. 

6 d And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, 
the bridegroom cometh ; go ye out to meet him. 

7 e Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their ie 

lamps. eLukeli, 

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of 
your oil ; for our lamps are gone out. 

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so ; lest there 
be not enough for us . and you : but go ye rather to 
them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 

1 f And while they went to buy, the bridegroom f Luke 13. 
came ; and they that were ready went in with him to 25 ' 

the marriage : and the door was shut. 

11 s Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, 6 ch - 7 - 21 
Lord, Lord, open to us.

and delivered unto them his goods. 35. 

15 i And unto one he gave five talents, to another Luke 21, 34. 
two, and to another one ; to every man according to 1 cor. 16, 
his several ability ; and straightway took his journey. J 3 p o( . (| 

16 Then he that had received the five talents went r cv . k. 1.,.

17 And likewise he that had received two, he also jf ^ 12 ' 7 
gained other two. E P h. 4, 11 

1 8 But he that had received one, went and digged 
in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 

19 After a long time the lord of those servants 
cometh, and reckoneth with them. 

20 And so he that had received five talents came m ,.,.,, sfci 
and brought other five talents, saying. Lord, thou U^ . 
deliveredst unto me five talents; behold, I have gained chap .,, „ 
besides them five talents more.

22 He also that had received two talents came and 
said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents : be- 
hold, I have gained two other talents besides them. 

23 n His lord said unto him, Well done, good and 
faithful servant : thou hast been faithful over a few 
things, I will make thee ruler over many things : enter 
thou into the joy of thy lord. 

24 Then he which had received the one talent 
came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard 
man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering 
where thou hast not strawed : 

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent 
in the earth : lo, there thou hast that is thine. 

26 ° His lord answered and said unto him, Thou 
wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap 
where I sowed not, and gather where I have not 
strawed : 

27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money 
to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should 
have received mine own with usury. 

28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it 
unto him which hath ten talents. 

29 p For unto every one that hath shall be given, 
and he shall have abundance : but from him that hath 
not, shall be taken away even that which he hath. 

30 q And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer 
darkness : there shall be weeping and gnashing of 
teeth. 

31 IT r When the Son of man shall come in his glory, 
and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon 
the throne of his glory : 

32 8 And before him shall be gathered all nations ; 
and he shall separate them one from another, as a 
shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats : 

33 And he shall set the -sheep on his right hand, 
but the goats on the left. 

34 * Then shall the King say unto them on his right 
hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the 
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the 
world : 

35 u For I was a hungered, and ye gave me meat : 
I was tliirsty, and ye gave me drink : I was a stranger, 
and ye took me in : 

36 Naked, and ye clothed me : I was sick, and ye 
visited me : I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, 
Lord, when saw we thee a hungered, and fed thee ? 
or thirsty, and gave thee drink ? 

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? 
or naked, and clothed thee ? 

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and 
came unto thee 1 

40 * And the King shall answer and say unto them, 
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it 
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have 
done it unto me. 

41 y Then shall he say also unto them on the left 
hand, Depart from me, ye c ;rsed, into everlasting fire, 
prepared for the devil and his angels : 

. 42 For I was a hungered, and ye gave me no meat : 
I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink : 

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in : naked, 
and ye clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye 
visited me not. 

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, 
when saw we thee a hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, 
or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister 
unto thee ?

3 The rulers conspire against Christ: 14 Judas selleth him. 
17 Christ eateth the passover. 

ND it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all 
these sayings, he said unto his disciples, 

2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of 'the pass- John li, 55. 
over, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. bpWi 2 

3 1f b Then assembled together the chief priests, and with 
the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the 
palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 

4 c And consulted that they might take Jesus by cPs.41,7 
subtilty, and kill him. 

5 (1 But they said, Not on the feast-efay, lest there 
be an uproar among the people. 

6 IF e Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house 
of Simon the leper, 

7 There came unto him a woman having an alabas- 
ter box of very precious ointment, and poured it on & 12, 3 
his head as he sat at meat. 

8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, 
saying, To what purpose is this waste ? 

9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, 
and given to the poor. 

1 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, 
Why trouble ye the woman ? for she hath wrought a 
good work upon me. 

1 1 f For ye have the poor always with you ; but me 
ye have not always.

1 3 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel

14 IT g Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, 
went unto the chief priests, 

1 5 h And said unto them, What will ye give me, and 
I will deliver him unto you ? And they covenanted 
with him for thirty pieces of silver. 

16 And from that time he sought opportunity to 
betray him. 

17 IF ' Now the first day of the feast o/"unleavened « £*■ 12. fi. 
bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Luke It','?* 
Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the 
passover ? 

1 8 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, 
and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at 
hand ; I will keep the passover at thy house with my 
disciples. 

1 9 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed 
them ; and they made ready the passover. 

20 Now when the even was come, he sat down 
with the twelve. 

2 1 k And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto 
you, That one of you shall betray me. 

22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began 
every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I ? 

23 ' And he answered and said, He that dippeth his 
hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

25 n Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered 
and said, Master, is it I ? He said unto him, Thou 
hast said. 

26 ° And, as they were eating, Jesus took bread, 
and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disci- 
ples, and said, Take, eat ; this is my body. 

27 p And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and 
gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it : 

28 q For this is my blood of the new testament, 
which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 

29 r But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth 
of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink 
it new with you in my Father's kingdom. 

30 s And when they had sung a hymn, they went 
out into the mount of Olives. 

31 'Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be 
offended because of me this night : for it is written, I 
will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock 
shall be scattered abroad. 

32 u But after 1 am risen again, I will go before you 
into Galilee. 

33 x Peter answered and said unto him, Though all 
men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never 
be offended. 

34 y Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, 
That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny 
me thrice. 

35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with 
thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all 
the disciples. 

36 IT z Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place 
called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit 
ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 

37 a And he took with him Peter and the two 
sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very 
heavy. 

38 b Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding 
sorrowful, even unto death : tarry ye here, and watch 
with me. 

39 c And he went a little farther, and fell on his 
face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be pos- 
sible, let this cup pass from me : nevertheless, not as 
I will, but as thou wilt. 

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth 
them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What ! could ye 
not watch with me one hour ? 

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into tempta- 
tion : the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 

42 He went away again the second time, and 
prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not 
pass away from me except I drink it, thy will be done. 

43 And he came and found them asleep again : for 
their eyes were heavy. 

44 And he left them, and went away again, and 
prayed the third time, saying the same words. 

45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto 
them, Sleep on now, and take your rest : behold, the 
hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into 
the hands of sinners. 

46 Rise, let us be going : behold, he is at hand that 
doth betray me. 

47 IT u And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of 
the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude 
with swords and staves, from the chief priests and 
elders of the people. 

48 e Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, 
saying, Whomsoever 1 shall kiss, that same is he : 
hold him fast. 



He is betrayed by Judas. 

49 f And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, An "° 
Hail, Master; and kissed him. D0 ™™ 

50 And Jesus said unto him, t Friend, wherefore ^-^ 
art thou come ? Then came they and laid hands on 9. 2Sam 20, 
Jesus, and took him. \Gr. Com- 

51 s And, behold, one of them which were with ^T'lT's &. 
Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and 55* i3, u. 
struck a servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear. f John 18, 

52 h Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy h Gen. 9, e. 
sword into his place : for all they that take the sword E zek - :, 2 5 - ? 
shall perish with the sword. i p™. 4,'i6. 

53 " Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my * 9 - 
Father, and he shall presently give me more than isneinfs 
twelve legions of angels ? 6, 17. 

54 k But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, £ l^im I'L 
that thus it must be ? isa. 53, 3. 7. 

55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, * an ; 9°" 26 
Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and Luke 24, 
staves for to take me ? I sat daily with you teaching A 6 cts 4 i 7 3 
in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. & 26, 23 

56 ' But all this was done, that the scriptures of 1 John 13. 
the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples 28 ' 
forsook him, and fled. 

57 IT m And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him m ftIa >k K 
away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes Luke 22, 54. 
and the elders were assembled. John 18,12 

58 But Peter followed him afar off, unto the high ^ 
priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants 

to see the end. 

59 n Now the chief priests and elders, and all the "^j 2 ,"', 12 
council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him Mark 14,55 
to death ; 

60 ° But found none : yea, though many false wit- o Deut 19. 
nesses came, yet found they none. At the last came 15 

two false witnesses, 

61 p And said, This fellow said, I am able to pch. 27,40 
destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three acumI 9 -' 
clays. 

62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, 
Answerest thou nothing ? what is it which these wit- 
ness against thee ? 

63 q But Jesus held his peace. And the high qL». sj, 7 
priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee, by ]J®? 8 
the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the & 13, 32. 
Christ, the Son of God. <£ap. ™"|'; 

64 r Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said : never- Heb. 1! i'y 
theless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son * Ps - 110 '■ 
of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming C h a " u'ir' & 
in the clouds of heaven. 24, so. & 

65 s Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, Lu'ke2i 27 
He hath spoken blasphemy ; what further need have John 6, 6* 
we of witnesses ? behold, now ye have heard his Rom.V i!io 
blasphemy. 1 Thess! 4. 

66 'What think ye? They answered and said, He J£ v , 7 
is guilty of death. » 2 Kings 

67 u Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted l^\ 2A}n 
him; and others smote him with the palms of their ui s; .. <i, <;

70 But he denied before them all, saying, J know J-.iu.i8.i-.

CHAP. XXVII. 

1 Christ delivered hound to Pilate. 3 Judas hangeth him- 
self. 27 Christ is mocked, 33 crucified, 39 and reviled. 
51 The astonishing events zvhich attended his death, 8fC. 

* "^/V^^^" * ne mornm § was come ? all the chief 
T T priests and elders of the people took counsel 
against Jesus to put him to death. 

2 b And when they had bound him, they led him 
away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the go- 
vernor. 

3 IF c Then Judas, which had betrayed liim, when 
he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, 
and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the 
chief priests and elders, 

4 d Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed 
the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to 
us 1 see thou to that. 

5 e And he cast down the pieces of silver in the 
temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 

6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and 
said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, 
because it is the price of blood. 

7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the 
potter's field, to bury strangers in. 

8 f Wherefore that field was called, The field of 
blood, unto this day. 

9 s Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by 
Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty 
pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, 
whom they of the children of Israel did value ; 

1 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord 
appointed me. 

1 1 IT " And Jesus stood before the governor : and 
the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of 
the Jews ? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 

12 1 And when he was accused of the chief priests 
and elders, he answered nothing. 

1 3 k Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not 
how many things they witness against thee ? 

1 4 ' And he answered him to never a word ; inso- 
much that the governor marvelled greatly. 

1 5 IT m Now at that feast the governor was wont to 
release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called 
Barabbas. 

17 n Therefore, when they were gathered together, 
Pilate said unto them, Whom will ) T e that I release 
unto you ? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ ? 

18° For he knew that for envy they had delivered 
him. 

19 IT When he was set down on the judgment-seat, 
his wife sent unto him, saying. Have thou nothing to 
do with that just man ; for I have suffered many 
things this day in a dream because of him. 

20 p But the chief priests and elders persuaded the 
multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy 
Jesus. 



21 i The governor answered and said unto them, 
Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you ? 
They said, Barabbas. 

22 Pilate said unto them, What shall I do then 
with Jesus which is called Christ 1 They all said unto 
him, Let him be crucified. 

23 And the governor said, Why ? what evil hath 
he done 1 But they cried out the more, saying, Let 
him be crucified. 

24 r When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, 
but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, 
and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I 
am innocent of the blood of this just person : see ye 
to it. 

25 s Then answered all the people, and said, His 
blood be on us, and on our children. 

26 TT * Then released he Barabbas unto them : and 
when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be 
crucified. 

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus 
into the common hall, and gathered unto him the 
whole band of soldiers. 

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet 
robe. 

29 IT And when they had platted a crown of thorns, 
they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: 
and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked 
him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews ! 

30 u And they spit upon him, and took the reed, 
and smote him on the head. 

31 And after that they had mocked him, they took 
the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on 
him, and led him away to crucify him. 

32 x And as they came out, they found a man of 
Cyrene, Simon by name : him they compelled to bear 
his cross. 

33 IF y And when they were come unto a place 
called Golgotha, that is to say, A place of a scull, 

34 z They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with 
gall : and when he had tasted thereof he would not 
drink. 

35 a And they crucified him, and parted his gar- 
ments, casting lots ; that it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments 
among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 

36 b And sitting down, they watched him there ; 

37 c And set up over his head his accusation writ- 
ten, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE 
JEWS. 

38 d Then were there two thieves crucified with 
him ; one on the right hand, and another on the left. 

39 e And they that passed by reviled him, wagging 
their heads, 

40 f And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, 
and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be 
the Son of God, come down from the cross. 

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, 
with the scribes and elders, said, 

42 He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he 
be the King of Israel, let him now come down from 
the cross, and we will believe him. 

43 g He trusted in God ; let him deliver him now, 
if he will have him : for he said, I am the Son of 
God. 

44 h The thieves also, which were crucified with 
him, cast the same in his teeth. 

45 * Now from the sixth hour there was darkness 
over all the land unto the ninth hour.

is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken 
me ? 

47 ' Some of them that stood there, when they 
heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. 

48 m And straightway one of them ran, and took a 
spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, 
and gave him to drink. 

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias 
will come to save him. 

50 IT n Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud 
voice, yielded up the ghost. 

51 ° And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent 
in twain from the top to the bottom ; and the earth did 
quake, and the rocks rent ; 

52 And the graves were opened ; and many bodies 
of saints which slept arose, 

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrec- 
tion, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto 
many. 

54 p Now when the centurion and they that were 
with him watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and 
those things that were done, they feared greatly, say- 
ing, Truly this was the Son of God. 

55 q And many women were there, beholding afar 
off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering 
unto him ; 

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary 
the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of 
Zebedee's children. 

57 IT ' When the even was come, there came a rich 
man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself 
was Jesus' disciple : 

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 
Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrap- 
ped it in a clean linen cloth, 

60 s And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had 
hewn out in the rock : and he rolled a great stone to 
the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 

6 1 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other 
Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. 

62 IT Now the next day, that followed the day of 
the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came 
together unto Pilate, 

63 ' Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver 
said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will 
rise again. 

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made 
sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night 
and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is 
risen from the dead : so the last error shall be worse 
than the first. 

65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a || watch : go 
your way, make it as sure as you can. 

66 u So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, 
sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

10 f Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid : go 
tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there 
shall they see me. 

1 1 IT Now when they were going, behold, some of 
the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the 
chief priests all the things that were done. 

1 2 And when they were assembled with the elders, 
and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto 
the soldiers,

4 d John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach 
the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 

5 e And there went out unto him all the land of 
Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized 
of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 

6 r And John was clothed with camel's hair, and 
with a girdle of a skin about his loins ; and he did eat 
locusts and wild honey ; 

7 s And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier 
than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not 
worthy to stoop down and unloose. 

8 '' 1 indeed have baptized you with water : but he 
shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. 

9 IF ' And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus 
came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of 
John in Jordan. 

1 And straightway coming up out of the water, he 
saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit, like a dove, 
descending upon him : 

1 1 k And there came a voice from heaven, saying, 
Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

12 II ' And immediately the spirit driveth him into 
the wilderness. 

1 3 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, 
tempted of Satan ; and was with the wild beasts ; and 
the angels ministered unto him. 

14 IT m Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus 
came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom 
of God, 

1 5 n And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the king- 
dom of God is at hand ; repent ye, and believe the 
gospel. 

1 6 IT ° Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he 
saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into 
the sea : for they were fishers. 

1 7 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, 
and I will make you to become fishers of men. 

1 8 p And straightway they forsook their nets, and 
followed him. 

1 9 And when he had gone a little farther thence, 
he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his bro- 
ther, who also were in the ship mending their nets. 

20 And straightway he called them : and they left 
their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired ser- 
vants, and went after him. 

2 1 IT i And they went into Capernaum : and straight- 
way on the sabbath-day he entered into the synagogue, 
and taught. 

22 r And they were astonished at his doctrine : for 
he taught them as one that had authority, and not as 
the scribes. 

23 IT s And there was in their synagogue a man with 
an unclean spirit ; and he cried out, 

24 l Saying, Let us alone ; what have we to do with 
thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to de- 
stroy us ? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of 
God. 

25 u And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, 
and come out of him. 

26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and 
cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 

27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they 
questioned among themselves, sayings What thing is 
this? what hew doctrine is this? for with authority 
comrnandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do 
obey him. 

28 And immediately his fame spread abroad through- 
«t all the region round about Galilee. 



29 x And forthwith, when they were come out of 
the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon 
and Andrew, with James and John. 

30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever ; 
and anon they tell him of her. 

31 And he came and took her by the hand, and 
lifted her up ; and immediately the fever left her, and 
she ministered unto them. 

32 IT y And at even, when the sun did set, they 
brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that 
were possessed with devils. 

33 And all the city was gathered together at the 
door. 

34 z And he healed many that were sick of divers 
diseases, and cast out many devils ; and suffered not 
the devils to speak, because they knew him. 

35 a And in the morning, rising up a great while 
before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary 
place, and there prayed. 

36 And Simon and they that were with him fol- 
lowed after him. 

37 And when they had found him, they said unto 
him, All men seek for thee. 

38 b And he said unto them, Let us go into the next 
towns, that I may preach there also : for therefore 
came I forth. 

39 And he preached in their synagogues, throughout 
all Galilee, and cast out devils. 

40 IT c And there came a leper to him, beseeching 
him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, 
if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth 
his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will ; 
be thou clean. 

42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the 
leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 

43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent 
him away ; 

44 d And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to 
any man : but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, 
and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses 
commanded, for a testimony unto them. 

45 e But he went out, and began to publish it much, 
and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus 
could no more openly enter into the city, but was 
without in desert places : and they came to him from 
every quarter. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Christ followed by multitudes : 3 he healeth the palsy, 14

ND again he entered into Capernaum after 

some days ; and it was noised that he was in 

the house. 

2 And straightway many were gathered together, 
insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, 
not so much as about the door : and he preached the 
word unto them. 

3 IT And they come unto him, bringing one sick of 
the palsy, which was borne of four. 

4 And when they could not come nigh unto him 
for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was : 
and when they had broken it up, they let down the 
bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 

5 h When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the 
sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 

6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, 
and reasoning in their hearts,

7 c Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies ? 
who can forgive sins but God only ? 

8 d And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his 
spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said 
unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts ? 

9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the 
palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, 
and take up thy bed, and walk ? 

1 But that ye may know that the Son of man 
hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the 
sick of the palsy,) 

1 1 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and 
go thy way into thy house. 

12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, 
and went forth before them all ; insomuch that they 
were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never 
saw it on this fashion. 

1 3 IT And he went forth again by the sea-side ; and 
all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught 
them. 

1 4 e And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of 
Alpheus, sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto 
him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 

15 1 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at 
meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat 
also together with Jesus and his disciples : for there 
were many, and they followed him. 

1 6 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him 
eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his dis- 
ciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with 
publicans and sinners ? 

1 7 r When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They 
that are whole have no need of the physician, but 
they that are sick : I came not to call the righteous, 
but sinners to repentance. 

1 8 g And the disciples of John and of the Phari- 
sees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, 
Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees 
fast, but thy disciples fast not ? 

19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of 
the bride-chamber fast while the bridegroom is with 
them 1 as long as they have the bridegroom with 
them, they cannot fast. 

20 h But the days will come when the bridegroom 
shall be taken away from them, and then shall they 
fast in those days. 

21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an 
old garment : else the new piece that filled it up 
taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse 

22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles 
else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine 
is spilled, and the bottles will be marred : but new 
wine must be put into new bottles. 

23 H" ' And it came to pass, that he went through 
the corn-fields on the sabbath-day ; and his disciples 
began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. 

24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, 
why do they on the sabbath-day that which is not 
lawful ? 

25 k And he said unto them, Have ye never read 
what David did, when he had need, and was a hun 
gered, he, and they that were with him ? 

26 ' How he went into the House of God in the 
days of Abiathar the high priest, and did cat the 
shew-bread, which is not lawful to eat but for the 
priests, and gave also to them which were with him ? 

27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made 
for man, and not man for the sabbath : 



The withered hand h 
the Son of man is Lord also of the 



calrd. 



28 Therefore 
sabbath. 

CHAP. HI. 

1 Christ healelh the withered hand : 6 the Pharisees conspire 
his death : 13 he chooseth twelve apostles : 22 he confuteth 
the Pharisees' blasphemy, fyc. 

ND he entered again into the synagogue ; and 
there was a man there which had a withered 
hand. 

2 And they watched him, whether he would heal 
him on the sabbath-day ; that they might accuse him. 

3 And he saith unto the man which had the with- 
ered hand, Stand forth. 

4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on 
the sabbath-days, or to do evil ? to save life, or to kill/ 
But they held their peace. 

5 b And when he had looked round about on them 
with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their 
hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. 
And he stretched it out : and his hand was restored 
whole as the other. 

6 c And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway 
took counsel with the Herodians against him, how 
they might destroy him. 

7 d But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples 
to the sea : and a great multitude from Galilee fol- 
lowed him, and from Judea, 

8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from 
beyond Jordan ; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a 
great multitude, when they had heard what great 
things he did, came unto him. 

9 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship 
should wait on him because of the multitude, lest 
they should throng him. 

10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they 
pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had 
t plagues. 

1 1 e And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell 
down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son 
of God. 

1 2 f And he straitly charged them that they should 
not make him known. 

13 IT g And hegoethup into a mountain, and calleth 
unto him whom he would : and they came unto him. 

14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be 
with him, and that he might send them forth to preach. 

15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to 
cast out devils : 

16 h And Simon he sumamed Peter; 

17 And James the son of Zcbedee, and John the 
brother of James ; and he surnamed them || Boanerges, 
which is, The sons of thunder ; 

18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, 
and Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the sow of 
Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite, 

19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him : 
and they went into a house. 

20 IT And the multitude cometh together again, so 
that they could not so much as cat bread. 

21 'And when his friends heard of it. they went out 
to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. 

22 IT k And the scribes which fame down from Je- 
rusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince 
of the devils casteth he out devils. 

23 ' And he called them unto him, and said unto 
them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan ? 

24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that 
kingdom cannot stand.

25 And if a house be divided against itself, that 
house cannot stand. 

26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be 
divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 

27 m No man can enter into a strong man's house, 
and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong 
man ; and then he will spoil his house. 

28 n Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be for- 
given unto the sons of men, and blasphemies where- 
with soever they shall blaspheme : 

29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy 
Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eter- 
nal damnation : 

30 ° Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit. 

31 IF p There came then his brethren and his mother, 
and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. 

32 And the multitude sat about him ; and they said 
unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren with- 
out seek for thee. 

33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my 
mother, or my brethren ? 

34 And he looked round about on them which sat 
about him, and said, Behold my mother and my 
brethren ! 

35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the 
same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 The parable of the sower : 14 the meaning thereof. 26 Of 

the seed growing secretly, fyc. 
a A ND he began again to teach by the sea-side : 
J\. and there was gathered unto him a great multi- 
tude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea ; 
and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 

2 And he taught them many things by parables, 
and said unto them in his doctrine, 

3 Hearken ; Behold, there went out a sower to sow : 

4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by 
ihe way-side, and the fowls of the air came and de- 
voured it up. 

5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not 
much earth ; and immediately it sprang up, because 
it had no depth of earth : 

6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched ; and 
because it had no root, it withered away. 

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns 
grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 

8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit 
that sprang up and increased, and brought forth, some 
thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred. 

9 b And he said unto them, He that hath ears to 
hear, let him hear. 

10 IT c And when he was alone, they that were 
about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 

1 1 d And he said unto them. Unto you it is given 
to know the mystery of the kingdom of God : but unto 
them that are without, all these things are done in 
parables. 

1 2 e That seeing they may see, and not perceive ; 
and hearing they may hear, and not understand ; lest 
at any time they should be converted, and their sins 
should be forgiven them. 

1 3 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable ? 
and how then will ye know all parables ? 

1 4 IT The sower soweth the word. 

15 f And these are they by the. way-side, where the 
word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan 
cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that 
was sown in their hearts. 



16 « And these are they likewise which are sown 
on stony ground ; who, when they have heard the 
word, immediately receive it with gladness ; 

1 7 And have no root in themselves, and so endure 
but for a time : afterward, when affliction or persecu- 
tion ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are 
offended. 

1 8 h And these are they which are sown among 
thorns ; such as hear the word, 

1 9 ' And the cares of this world, and the deceitful- 
ness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering 
in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 

20 And these are they which are sown on good 
ground ; such as hear the word, and receive it, and 
bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, some sixty, and some 
a hundred. 

21 II k And he said unto them, Is a candle brought 
to be put under a bushel, or under a bed ? and not to 
be set on a candlestick ? 

22 ' For there is nothing hid, which shall not be 
manifested ; neither was any thing kept secret, but 
that it should come abroad. 

23 m If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 

24 D And he suid unto them, Take heed what you 
hear : with what measure ye mete, it shall be mea- 
sured to you ; and unto you that hear shall more be 
given. 

25 ° For he that hath, to him shall be given : and 
he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that 
which he hath. 

26 IT p And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as 
if a man should cast seed into the ground ; 

27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and 
the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not 
how. 

28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first 
the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the 
ear. 

29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately 
he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. 

30 IT q And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the 
kingdom of God ? or with what comparison shall we 
compare it ? 

31 It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which, when 
it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that 
be in the earth : 

32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh 
greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches ; 
so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow 
of it. 

33 r And with many such parables spake he the 
word unto them, as they were able to hear it. 

34 But without a parable spake he not unto them : 
and when they were alone, he expounded all things 
to his disciples. 

35 IT s And the same day, when the even was come, 
he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. 

36 And when they had sent away the multitude, 
they took him even as he was in the ship. And there 
were also with him other little ships. 

37 " And there arose a great storm of wind, and the 
waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep 
on a pillow : and they awake him, and say unto him, 
Master, carest thou not that we perish ? 

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said 
unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, 
and there was a great calm.

CHAP. V. 

1 Christ casteth out the legion of devils: 21 Jairus 1 suit for 

his daughter : 25 the bloody issue healed, fyc. 
a A ND they came over unto the other side of the 
_ZjL sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 

2 And when he was come out of the ship, imme- 
diately there met him out of the tombs a man with an 
unclean spirit, 

3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs ; and no 
man could bind him, no, not with chains : 

4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters 
and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder 
by him, and the fetters broken in pieces : neither could 
any man tame him. 

5 And always, night and day, he was in the moun- 
tains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself 
with stones. 

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he came and 
worshipped him, 

7 h And cried with a loud voice, and said, What 
have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most 
high God ? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment 
me not. 

8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou 
unclean spirit. 

9 And he asked him, What is thy name ? And he 
answered, saying, My name is Legion : for we are 
many. 

10 And he besought lum much that he would not 
send them away out of the country. 

1 1 Now there was there, nigh unto the mountains, 
a great herd of swine feeding. 

1 2 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send 
us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 

1 3 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the 
unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine : 
and the herd ran violently down a steep place into 
the sea, (they were about two thousand,) and were 
choked in the sea. 

1 4 c And they that fed the swine fled, and told it 
in the city, and in the country. And they went out 
to see what it was that was done. 

1 5 d And they come to Jesus, and see him that was 
possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and 
clothed, and in his right mind : and they were afraid. 

16 And they that saw it told them how it befel to 
him that was possessed with the devil, and also con- 
cerning the swine. 

1 7 e And they began to pray him to depart out of 
their coasts. 

1 8 f And when he was come into the ship, he that 
had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he 
might be with him. 

19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto 
him, Go home to thy friends, and teil them how great 
things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had 
compassion on thee. 

20 And he departed, and began to publish in De- 
capolis how great things Jesus had done for him : and 
all men did marvel. 

21 1F s And when Jesus was passed over again by

22 * And, behold, tnere cometh one of the rulers of 
the synagogue, Jairus by name ; and when he saw 
him, he fell at his feet, 

23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little lKJJ£ 
daughter lieth at the point of death : I pray thee, come 

and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed ; 
and she shall live. 

24 And Jesus went with him ; and much people fol- 
lowed him, and thronged him. 

25 IT ' And a certain woman, which had an issue of iLe». 15,2s. 
blood twelve years, Mat 9, 29. 

26 And had suffered many things of many physi- 
cians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing 
bettered, but rather grew worse, 

27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press 
behind, and touched his garment : 

28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I 
shall be whole. 

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was 
dried up ; and she felt in her body that she was healed 
of that plague. 

30 k And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself kLuke6,i9. 
that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in & 8 * 4h 
the press, and said, Who touched my clothes ? 

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest 
the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who 
touched me ? 

32 And he looked round about to see her that had 
done this thing. 

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing 
what was done in her, came and fell down before him, 
and told him all the truth. 

34 ' And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith t hath 
made thee whole ; go in peace, and be whole of thy 
plague. 

35 IT m While he yet spake, there came from the ruler 
of the synagogue'sAcwse certain which said, Thy daugh- 
ter is dead : why troublest thou the Master any further ? 

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was 
spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be 
not afraid, only believe. 

37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save 
Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 

38 n And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the 
synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept 
and wailed greatly. 

39 ° And when he was come in, he saith unto them, ° John ' '• 
Why make ye this ado, and weep ? the damsel is not 

dead, but slcepeth. 

40 p And they laughed him to scorn. But when he pAct»9,J« 
had put them all out, he taketh the father and the 
mother of the damsel, and them that were witli him, 

and cntereth in where the damsel was lying. 

41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said 
unto her, Talitha cumi : which is, being interpreted, 
Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 

42 And straightway the damsel arose and walked ; 
for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were 
astonished with a great astonishment. 

43 1 And he charged them straitly that no man ^'., 
should know it; and commanded that so m et hing 
should be given her to eat.

opinions concerning Christ. ST. 

2 b And when the sabbath-day was come, he began 
to teach in the synagogue : and many hearing him 
were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man 
these things ? and what wisdom is this which is given 
unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought 
by his hands ? 

3 c Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the 
brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon ? 
and are not his sisters here with us ? And they were 
offended at him. 

4 d But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not with- 
out honour, but in his own country, and among his 
own kin, and in his own house. 

5 e And he could there do no mighty work, save 
that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed 
them. 

6 f And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And 
he w T ent round about the villages teaching. 

7 If 6 And he called unto him the twelve, and began 
to send them forth by two and two ; and gave them 
power over unclean spirits ; 

8 h And commanded them that they should take 
nothing for their journey, save a staff only ; no scrip, 
no bread, no money in their purse : 

9 ! But be shod with sandals ; and not put on two 
coats. 

1 k And he said unto them, In what place soever 
ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart from 
that place. 

1 1 ' And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear 
you, when ye depart thence shake off the dust under 
your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say 
unto- you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and 
Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. 

12 m And they went out, and preached that men 
should repent. 

1 3 n And they cast out many devils, and anointed 
with oil many that were sick, and healed them. 

1 4 IT ° And king Herod heard of him ; (for his name 
was spread abroad ;) and he said, That John the Bap- 
tist, was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty 
works do shew forth themselves in him. 

1 5 p Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, 
That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. 

16 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is 
John, whom 1 beheaded : he is risen from the dead. 

1 7 q For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold 
upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' 
sake, his brother Philip's wife : for he had married her. 

1 8 r For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful 
for thee to have thy brother's wife. 

1 9 s Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, 
and would have killed him ; but she could not. 

20 l For Herod feared John, knowing that he was 
a just man and a holy, and observed him ; and when 
he heard him, he did many things, and heard him 
gladly. 

21 u And when a convenient day was come, that 
Herod on his birth-day made a supper to his lords, high 
captains, and chief estates of Galilee ; 

22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias 
came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them 
that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask 
of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 

23 s And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt 
ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my 
kingdom. 

24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, 



Five thousand fed. 
I ask ; And she said, The head of John

25 And she came in straightway with haste unto 
the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me 
by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. 

26 y And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his yLufce7,30, 
oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, fJ^\\ B 
he would not reject her. 

27 z And immediately the king sent an executioner, 
and commanded his head to be brought : and he went 
and beheaded him in the prison, 

28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave 
it to the damsel : and the damsel gave it to her 
mother. 

29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came 
and took up his corpse, and laid it. in a tomb. 

30 1 a And the apostles gathered themselves to- aLutea,w 
gether unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what 
they had done, and what they had taught. 

3 1 b And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves b ch, a, aa 
apart into a desert place, and rest awhile : for there 
were many coming and going, and they had no leisure 
so much as to eat. 

32 c And they departed into a desert place by ship c Mat 14, 
privately. ^ e ^ 10 

33 d And the people saw them departing, and many John 6,' is! 
knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and dJolm 6 > 2 - 
outwent them, and came together unto him. 

34 IT e And Jesus, when he came out, saw much e Num. 27. 
people, and was moved with compassion toward them, ]\ in ^ 22, 
because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: 17. 
and he began to teach them many things. srT'e 3 ' 1 & 

35 f And when the day was now far spent, his Ezek. 34, 2. 
disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert Mat^sl 
place, and now the time is far passed : & 16, & & 

36 Send them away, that they may go into the } 4, k ^ 
country round about, and into the villages, and buy f Aiat 14, 
themselves bread : for they have nothing to eat. J 5 - 

37 g He answered and said unto them, Give ye jXt e,' 5. 
them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go 
and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give 
them to eat ? 

38 h He saith unto them, How many loaves have hjviat 14, 
ye ? go and see. And when they knew, they say, 
Five, and two fishes. 

39 And he commanded them to make all to sit 
down by t companies upon the green grass. 

40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and 
by fifties. 

41 ' And when he had taken the five loaves and 
the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, 40. 
and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to \l Sam " 9 ' 
set before them ; and the two fishes divided he among John 17, 1. 
them all. 

42 And they did all eat, and were filled. 

43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the 
fragments, and of the fishes. 

44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about 
five thousand men. 

45 IF k And straightway he constrained his disciples k Mat. m, 
to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before f ohil 6> .. 
unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. 

46 And when he had sent them away, he departed 
into a mountain to pray.

53 n And when they had passed over, they came 
into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 

54 IT And when they were come out of the ship, 
straightway they knew him, 

5b And ran through that whole region round about, 
and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, 
where they heard he was. 

56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or 
cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and 
besought him that they might touch if it were but the 
border of his garment : and as many as touched him 
were made whole. 

CHAP. VII. 

The Pharisees find fault with the disciples for eating with 

unwashen hands, o/c. 
■ fin HEN came together unto him the Pharisees, 
_fi_ and certain of the scribes, which came from 
Jerusalem. 

2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat 
bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, 
hands, they found fault. 

3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they 
wash their hands t oft, eat not, holding the tradition 
of the elders. 

4 b And when they come from the market, except 
they wash they eat not. And many other things there 
be which they have received to hold, as the washing 
of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables. 

5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why 
walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the 
elders, but cat bread with unwashen hands ? 

6 c He answered and said unto them, Well hath 
Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, 
This people honoureth me with their lips, but their 
hean is far from me. 

7 d Howbeit, in vain do they worship me, teaching 
for doctrines the commandments of men. 

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye 
hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and 
cups : and many other such like things ye do. 

9 And he said unto them, || Full well ye reject the 
commandment of God, that ye may keep your own 
tradition. 

10 e For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy 
mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him 
die the death : 

1 1 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or 
mother, ft is || Corban, that is to say, a gift, by what- 
soever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be 
free. 

12 And ye suffer him no more to do aught for his 
father or his; mother ; 

1 3 f Making the word of God of none effect tlrrough 
your tradition, which ye have delivered : and many 
such like things do ye.

What defileth a man. 

him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one 
of you, and understand. 

1 5 h There is nothing from without a man, that 
entering into him, can defile him : but the things which 
come out of him, those are they that defile the man. 

16 ' If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 

1 7 k And when he was entered into the house from 
the people, his disciples asked him concerning the 
parable. 

1 8 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without un- 
derstanding also ? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever 
thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot 
defile him ; 

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into 
the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all 
meats ? 

20 ' And he said, That which cometh out of the i James 3, g. 
man, that defileth the man. 

21 m For from within, out of the heart of men, pro- 
ceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, las- 
civiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness : 

23 All these evil things come from within, and defile 
the man. 

24 IT n And from thence he arose, and went into 
the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into a 
house, and would have no man know it : but he could 
not be hid. 

25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter 
had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell 
at his feet. 

26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by 
nation : and she besought him that he would cast forth 
the devil out of her daughter. 

27 ° But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first 
be filled : for it is not meet to take the children's bread, 
and to cast it unto the dogs. 

28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord : 
yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 

29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy 
way ; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 

30 And when she was come to her house, she found 
the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. 

31 IT p And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre 
and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through 
the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. 

32 i And they bring unto him one that was deaf, 
and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech 
him to put his hand upon him. 

33 r And he took him aside from the multitude, and 
put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched 
his tongue ;

35 And straightway his cars were opened, and the

more a great deal they published it ; 

37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying,

deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

feedeth the people: ST. MARK 

2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they 
have now been with me three days, and have nothing 
to eat : 

3 And if I send them away fasting to their own 
houses, they will faint by the way : for divers of them 
came from far. 

4 b And his disciples answered him, From whence 
can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the 
wilderness ? 

5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye ? 
And they said, Seven. 

6 And he commanded the people to sit down on 
the ground : and he took the seven loaves, and gave 
thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set 
before them ; and they did set them before the people. 

7 c And they had a few small fishes : and he blessed, 
and commanded to set them also before them. 

8 So they did eat, and were filled : and they took 
up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. 

9 And they that had eaten were about four thou- 
sand : and he sent them away. 

1 IF d And straightway he entered into a ship with 
his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 

1 1 e And the Pharisees came forth, and began to 
question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, 
tempting him. 

1 2 f And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, 
Why doth this generation seek after a sign ? Verily I 
say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this 
generation. 

13 And he left them, and, entering into the ship 
again, departed to the other side. 

1 4 IT g Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, 
neither had they in the ship with them more than one 
loaf. 

1 5 h And he charged them, saying, t Take heed, 
beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the 
leaven of Herod. 

16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, 
It is because we have no bread. 

1 7 * And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, 
Why reason ye because ye have no bread ? perceive 
ye not yet, neither understand ? have ye your heart yet 
hardened ? 

1 8 Having eyes, see ye not ? and having ears, hear 
ye not ? and do ye not remember, 

1 9 k When I brake the five loaves among five thou- 
sand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye 
up ? They say unto him, Twelve. 

20 ' And when the seven among four thousand, how 
many baskets full of fragments took ye up ? And they 
said, Seven. 

21 m And he said unto them, How is it that ye do 
not understand ? 

22 I n And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring 
a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 

23 ° And he took the blind man by the hand, and 
led him out of the town : and when he had spit on his 
eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he 
saw aught ? 

24 And he looked up, and said, I see men, as trees, 
walking. 

25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, 
and made him look up : and he was restored, and saw 
every man clearly. 

26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, 
Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. 

27 1 p And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into 



He foresheweth Ins 

the towns of Cesarea Philippi : and by the way he 
asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men 
say that 1 am 1 

28 And they answered, John the Baptist : but some 
say, Elias ; and others, One of the prophets. 

29 i And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that 

1 am ? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou 
art the Christ. 

30 And he charged them that they should tell no 
man of him. 

31 IT r And he began to teach them, that the Son 
of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of 
the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and 
be killed ; and after three days rise again. 

32 3 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter 
took him, and began to rebuke him. 

33 * But when he had turned about and looked on 
his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee be- 
hind me, Satan : for thou savourest not the things that 
be of God, but the things that be of men. 

34 IT u And when he had called the people unto Mm, 
with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever 
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up 
his cross, and follow me. 

35 x For whosoever will save his life shall lose it ; 
but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the 
gospel's, the same shall save it. 

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain 
the whole world, and lose his own soul 1 

37 y Or what shall a man give in exchange for his 
soul ? 

38 z Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me 
and of my words in this adulterous and sinful genera- 
tion, of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, 
when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the 
holy angels. 

CHAP. IX. 

2 Jesus transfigured : 11 he instructeth his disciples concern- 
ing the coming of Elias, fyc. 

a A ND he said unto thorn, Verily I say unto you, 
J\- That there be some of them that stand here 
which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the 
kingdom of God come with power. 

2 IT b And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, 
and James, and John, and leadeth them up into a high 
mountain apart by themselves : and he was trans- 
figured before them. 

3 c And his raiment became shining, exceeding 
white as snow ; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 

4 d And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses; 
and they were talking with Jesus. 
* 5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, 
it is good for us to be here : and let us make three 
tabernacles ; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one 
for Elias. 

6 For he wist not what to say ; for they were sore 
afraid. 

7 e And there was a cloud that overshadowed them : 
and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my 
beloved Son ; hear him. 

8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, 
they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with 
themselves. 

9 f And as they came down from the mountain, he 
charged them that they should tell no man what tilings 
they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from 
the dead. 

1 And they kept that saying with themselves, ques-

casteth out a dumb spirit : 

tioning one with another what iiie rising from the dead 
should mean. 

1 1 IF E And they asked him, saying, Why say the 
scribes that Elias must first come ? 

1 2 h And he answered and told them, Elias verily 
cometh first, and restoreth all things ; and how it is 
written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many 
things, and be set at nought. 

1 3 ' But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, 
and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, 
as it is written of him. 

14 If k And when he came to his disciples, he saw 
a great multitude about them, and the scribes question- 
ing with them. 

15 And straightway all the people, when they be- 
held him, were greatly amazed, and running to him 
saluted him. 

1 6 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with 
them ? 

1 7 ' And one of the multitude answered and said, 
Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath 
a dumb spirit : 

18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him ; 
and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and 
pineth away : and I spake to thy disciples that they 
should cast him out ; and they could not. 

1 9 He answereth him and saith, O faithless gene- 
ration ! how long shall I be with you ? how long shall 
I suffer you ? Bring him unto me. 

20 m And they brought him unto him : and when 
he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him ; and he 
fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 

21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago 
since this came unto him ? And he said Of a child : 

22 And oft-times it hath cast him into tne fire, and 
into the waters, to destroy him : but if thou canst do 
any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 

23 n Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all 
things are possible to him that believeth. 

24 And straightway the father of the child cried 
out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe ; help thou 
mine unbelief. 

25 ° When Jesus saw that the people came running 
together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, 
Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of 
him, and enter no more into him. 

26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and 
came out of him : and he was as one dead ; insomuch 
that many said, He is dead. 

27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him 
up ; and he arose. 

28 p And when he was come into the house, hk 
disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast 
him out? 

29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth 
by nothing but by prayer and fasting. 

30 IT q And they departed thence, and passed through 
Galilee ; and he would not that any man should 
know it. 

31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, 
The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, 
and they shall kill him ; and after that he is killed, he 
shall rise the third day. 

32 But they understood not that saying, and were 
afraid to ask him. 

33 IT r And he came to Capernaum : and being in 
the house, he asked them, What was it that ye dis- 
puted among yourselves by the way ?

The danger of riches. ST. MARK. 

7 d For this cause shall a man leave his father and 
mother, and cleave to his wife ; 

8 And they twain shall be one flesh : so then they 
are no more twain, but one flesh. 

9 e What therefore God hath joined together, let 
not man put asunder. 

10 And in the house his disciples asked him again 
of the same matter. 

1 1 f And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put 
away his wife, and marry another, committeth adul- 
tery against her. 

12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, 
l Cor. 7, io, anc j ^ marr j ec i to ano ther, she committeth adultery. 

1 3 IT s And they brought young children to him, 
that he should touch them : and his disciples rebuked 
those that brought them. 

14 h But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, 
and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come 
unto me, pnd forbid them not ; for of such is the king- 
dom of God. 

1 5 ' Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not 
receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall 
not enter therein. 

1 6 k And he took them up in his arms, put his hands 
upon them, and blessed them. 

1 7 IT * And when he was gone forth into the way, 
there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked 
him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit 
eternal life ? 

18 m And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou 
me good ? there is none good, but one, that is, 
God. 

1 9 n Thou knowest the commandments, Do not 
f &2 a\Y i ' commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not 

bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father 
and mother. 

20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, 
all these have I observed from my youth. 

21 ° Then Jesus beholding him, loved him, and 
said unto him, One thing thou lackest : go thy way, 
sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and 
thou shalt have treasure in heaven : and come, take 
up the cross, and follow me. 

22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away 
grieved ; for he had great possessions. 

23 IT p And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto 
his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches 
enter into the kingdom of God ! 

24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. 
But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Chil- 
dren, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to 
enter into the kingdom of God ! 

25 It is easier for a || camel to go through the eye of 
g^,* a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom 

Jer. 13, 23. of God. 

26 And they were astonished out of measure, say 
ing among themselves, Who then can be saved ? 

27 q And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men 
it is impossible, but not with God : for with God all 
things are possible. 

28 IT r Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we 
have left all, and have followed thee. 

29 8 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say 
unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or 
brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or 
children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 

But he shall receive a hundred-fold now in this

and children, and lands, with persecutions ; and in the 
world to come eternal life. 

31 % But many that are first shall be last; and the 
last first. 

32 II u And they were in the way going up to Jeru- 
salem ; and Jesus went before them : and they were 
amazed ; and as they followed, they were afraid. And 
he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what 
things should happen unto him, 

33 x Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem ; and 
the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief 
priests, and unto the scribes ; and they shall condemn 
him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles : 

34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, 
and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him ; and the 
third day he shall rise again. 

35 11 y And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, 
come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou 
shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. 

36 z And he said unto them, What would ye that 
I should do for you ? 

37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may 
sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left 
hand, in thy glory. 

38 a But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what 
ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and 
be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ? 

39 b And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus 
said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that 
I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized 
withal shall ye be baptized : 

40 c But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand 
is not mine to give ; but it shall be given to them for 
whom it is prepared. 

41 d And when the ten heard it, they began to be 
much displeased with James and John. 

42 e But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto 
them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule 
over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them ; and 
their great ones exercise authority upon them. 

43 f But so shall it not be among you : but whoso- 
ever will be great among you, shall be your minister : 

44 g And whosoever of you will be the cliiefest, 
shall be servant of all. 

45 h For even the Son of man came not to be minis- 
tered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom 
for many. 

46 IT ' And they came to Jericho : and as he went 
out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number 
of people, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat 
by the highway side, begging. 

Al k And when he heard that it was Jesus of Naza- 
reth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of 
David, have mercy on me. 

48 And many charged him that he should hold his 
peace : but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son 
of David, have mercy on me. 

49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be 
called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, 
Be of good comfort, rise ; he calleth thee. 

50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and 
came to Jesus. 

51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What 
wilt thou that I should do unto thee ? The blind man 
said unto him, t Lord, that I might receive my sight. 

52 ' And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy 
faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he

Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, 
he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 

2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village 
over against you : and as soon as ye be entered into 
it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat ; 
loose him, and bring him. 

3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this ? 
say ye that the Lord hath need of him ; and straight- 
way he will send him hither. 

4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied 
t Gr. in the by the door without, t in a place where two ways met ; 
Z%&? and they loose him. 

5 And certain of them that stood there said unto 
them, What do ye loosing the colt ? 

6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had com- 
manded : and they let them go. 

7 b And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their 
garments on him ; and he sat upon him. 

8 And many spread their garments in the way ; and 
John 12, 14. others cut down branches off the trees, and stravved 

them in the way. 

9 c And they that went before, and they that fol- 
lowed, cried, saying, Hosanna ; Blessed is he that 
cometh in the name of the Lord : 

10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, 
that cometh in the name of the Lord : Hosanna in 
the highest. 

1 1 d And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the 
temple : and when he had looked round about upon 
all things, and now the even-tide was come, he went 
out unto Bethany with, the twelve. 

12 IT e And on the morrow, when they were come 
from Bethany, he was hungry : 

1 3 And seeing a fig-tree afar off, having leaves, he 
came, if haply he might find any tiling thereon : and 
when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves ; for 
the time of figs was not yet. 

1 4 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man 
eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples 
heard it. 

1 5 IT f And they come to Jerusalem : and Jesus 
John^'it wen t into the temple, and began to cast out them that 

sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the 
tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them 
that sold doves ; 

1 6 And would not suffer that any man should carry 
any vessel through the temple. 

1 7 s And he taught, saying unto them. Is it not writ- 
ten, My house shall be called of all nations the house 
of prayer ? but ye have made it a den of thieves. 

18 h And the scribes and cliief priests heard it, and 
sought how they might destroy him : for they feared 
him, because all the people was astonished at his 
doctrine. 

1 9 ' And when even was come, he went out of the 
city. 

20 IT k And in the morning, as they passed by, they 
saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots 

2 1 ' And Peter calling to remembrance, saith unto 
i Heb. 6, 8. jjjj^ Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst

went into a far country.

servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen 
of the fruit of the vineyard. 

3 b And they caught him, and beat him, and sent 
him away empty. 

4 And again he sent unto them another servant ; 
and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the 
head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 

5 And again he sent another ; and him they killed, 
and many others ; beating some, and killing some.

16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, 
Whose is this image and superscription ? And they 
said unto him, Cesar's. 

1 7 k And Jesus answering said unto them, Render 
to Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the 
things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. 

1 8 IT ' Then come unto him the Sadducees, which 
say there is no resurrection ; and the}' asked him, 
saying, 

1 9 m Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's 
brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave 
no children, that his brother should take his wife, and 
raise up seed unto his brother. 

20 Now there were seven brethren : and the first 
took a wife, and dying left no seed. 

21 And the second took her, and died; neither left 
he any seed : and the third likewise. 

22 And the seven had her, and left no seed : last of 
all the woman died also. 

23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall 
rise, whose wife shall she be of them ? for the seven 
had her to wife. 

24 " And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye 
not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, 
neither the power of God ? 

25 ° For when they shall rise from the dead, they 
neither marry nor are given in marriage ; but are as 
the angels which are in heaven. 

26 p And as touching the dead, that they rise ; 
have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the 
bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of 
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of 
Jacob ? 

27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of 
the living : ye therefore do greatly err. 

28 IF i And one of the scribes came, and having 
heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he 
had answered them well, asked him, Which is the 
first commandment of all ? 

29 r And Jesus answered him, The first of all the 
to l °6. 1Z& commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our 

God is one Lord : 

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all 
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy 
mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first 
commandment. 

3 1 3 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt 
love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other 
commandment greater than these.

thou hast said the truth : for there is one God ; and 
there is none other but he :

up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, 
neither do ye premeditate ; but whatsoever shall be 
given you in that hour, that speak ye : for it is not 
ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 

1 2 ' Now the brother shall betray the brother to 
death, and the father the son ; and children shall rise 
up against their parents, and shall cause them to be 
put to death. 

1 3 m And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's 
sake : but he that shall endure unto the end, the same 
shall be saved. 

1 4 IT n But when ye shall see the abomination of 
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing 
where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) 
then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains : 

15 And let him that is on the house-top not go 
down into the house, neither enter therein, to take 
any thing out of his house : 

16 And let him that is in the field not turn back 
again for to take up his garment. 

1 7 ° But wo to them that are with child, and to 
them that give suck, in those days ! 

1 8 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 

1 9 p For in those days shall be affliction, such as 
was not from the beginning of the creation which God 
created, unto this time, neither shall be. 

20 And except that the Lord had shortened those 
days, no flesh should be saved : but for the elect's 
sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the 
days. 

21 q And then if any man shall say to vou, Lo, 
here is Christ ; or, lo, he is there ; believe ft.a. not : 

22 r For false christs and false prophets shall rise, 
and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were 
possible, even the elect. 

23 8 But take ye heed : behold, I have foretold you 
all things. 

24 IF ' But in those days, after that tribulation, the 
sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give 
her light ; 

25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers 
that are in heaven shall be shaken. 

26 u And then shall they see the Son of man coming 
in the clouds, with great power and glory. 

27 x And then shall he send his angels, and shall 
gather together his elect from the four winds, from the 
uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of 
heaven. 

28 y Now learn a parable of the fig-tree ; When 
her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye 
know that summer is near : 

29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these 
tilings come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the 
doors. 

30 z Verily I say unto you, That this generation 
shall not pass, till all these things be done. 

31 a Heaven and earth shall pass away : but my 
words shall not pass away. 

32 IT b But of that day and that hour knoweth no 
man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither 
the Son, but the Father. 

33 c Take ye heed, watch and pray : for ye know 
not when the time is. 

34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far 
journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his 
servants, and to every man his work, and commanded 
the porter to watch. 

35 d Watch ye therefore ; for ye know not when

CHAP. XIV. 

1 A conspiracy against Christ : 3 a woman poureth ointment 
on his head: 10 Judas covenanteth to betray him : 12 he 
eateth the passover : 22 he instituteth his last supper : 
66 Peter thrice denieth him, &rc 

a A FTER two days was the feast of the passover, 
J\- and of unleavened bread : and the chief priests 

and the scribes sought how they might take him by 

craft, and put him to death. 

2 v But they said, t Not on the feast-day, lest there 
be an uproar of the people. 

3 IF c And being in Bethany, in the house of Simon 
the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman 
having an alabaster-box of ointment of spikenard, very 
precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his 
head. 

4 And there were some that had indignation within 
themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the 
ointment made ? 

5 For it might have been sold for more than three 
hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And 
they murmured against her. 

6 And Jesus said, Let her alone ; why trouble you 
her 1 she hath wrought a good work on me. 

7 d For ye have the poor with you always, and 
whensoever ye will ye may do them good : but me ye 
have not always. 

8 She hath done t what she could : she is come 
aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 

9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel 
shall be preached throughout the whole world, this 
also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a 
memorial of her. 

10 IT e And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went 
unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. 

1 1 And when they heard it, they were glad, and 
promised to give him money. And he sought how he 
might conveniently betray him. 

12 IT f And the first day of unleavened bread, when 
they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, 
Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou 
mayest eat the passover ? 

1 3 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and 
saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall 
meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water : follow him. 

14 And wheresoever he shall go 1n, say ye to the 
good man of the house, The Master saith, Where is 
the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with 
my disciples ? 

1 5 And he will shew you a larger upper room fur- 
nished and prepared : there make ready for us. 

16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the 
city, and found as he had said unto them : and they 
made ready the passover. 

17 s And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. 

1 8 h And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily 
I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me 
shall betray me. 

19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto 
him one by one, Is it I ? and another said, Ts it I ? 

20 And he answered and said unto them, .ft is one 
of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. 

21 ' The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written 
of him • but wo to that man by whom the Son of man

is betrayed ! good were it for that man if he had never 
been born. 

22 IT k And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and 
blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, 
Take, eat ; this is my body. 

23 ' And he took the cup : and when he had given 
thanks, he gave it to them : and they all drank of it. 

24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the 
new testament, which is shed for many. 

25 m Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of 
the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new 
in the kingdom of God. 

26 IT u And when they had sung a hymn, they went 
out into the mount of Olives. 

27 ° And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be 
offended because of me this night : for it is written, 
I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be 
scattered. 

28 p But after that I am risen, I will go before you 
into Galilee. 

29 q But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be 
offended, yet will not I. 

30 r And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto 
thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock 
crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. 

31 8 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should 
die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Like- 
wise also said they all. 

32 TT * And they came to a place which was named 
Gethsemane : and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, 
while I shall pray. 

33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and 
John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very 
heavy ; 

34 u And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding 
sorrowful unto death : tarry ye here, and watch. 

35 x And he went forward a little, and fell on the 
ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour 
might pass from him. 

36 y And he said, Abba, Father, all things are pos- 
sible unto thee ; take away this cup from me : never- 
theless not what I will, but what thou wilt. 

37 z And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and 
saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou ? couldest not 
thou watch one hour ? 

38 a Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into tempta- 
tion. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 

39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake 
the same words. 

40 And when he returned, he found them asleep 
again : for their eyes were heavy : neither wist they 
what to answer him. 

41 And he cometh the third time, and saitn unto 
them, Sleep on now, and take your rest : it is enough, 
the hour is come : behold, the Son of man is betrayed 
into the hands of sinners. 

42 Rise up, let us go ; lo, he that betrayeth me is 
at hand. 

43 IT b And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh 
Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great mul- 
titude with swords and staves, from the chief priests 
and the scribes and the elders. 

44 And lie that betrayed him had given them a 
token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is 
he : take him, and lead him away safely. 

45 c And as soon as he was come, he goeth straight- 
way to him, and saith, t Master, Master ; and kissed 
him. 



46 And they laid their hands on him, and took 
him. 

47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, 
and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his 
ear. 

48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are 
ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with 
staves to take me 1 

49 d I was daily with you in the temple teaching, 
and ye took me not : but the scriptures must be fulfilled. 

50 e And they all forsook him, and fled. 

51 And there followed him a certain young man, 
having a linen cloth cast about his naked body ; and 
the young men laid hold on him : 

52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them 
naked. 

53 IT f And they led Jesus away to the high priest : 
and with him were assembled all the chief priests and 
the elders and the scribes. 

54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the 
palace of the high priest : and he sat with the servants, 
and warmed himself at the fire. 

55 s And the chief priests and all the council sought 
for witness against Jesus to put him to death ; and 
found none. 

56 For many bare false witness against him, but 
their witness agreed not together. 

57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness 
against him, saying, 

58 h We heard him say, I will destroy this temple 
that is made with hands, and within three days I will 
build a rther made without hands. 

59 But neither so did their witness agree together. 

60 ' And the high priest stood up in the midst, and 
asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing ? what 
is it which these witness against thee ? 

6 1 k But he held his peace, and answered nothing. 
Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, 
Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed ? 

62 l And Jesus said, I am : and ye shall see the Son 
of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming 
in the clouds of heaven. 

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, 
What need we any further witnesses ? 

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy : what think ye ? 
And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 

65 m And some began to spit on him, and to cover 
his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Pro- 
phesy : and the servants did strike him with the palms 
of their hands. 

66 IF n And as Peter was beneath in the palace, 
there cometh one of the maids of the high priest : 

67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she 
looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with 
Jesus of Nazareth. 

68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither un- 
derstand I what thou sayest. And he went out into 
the porch ; and the cock crew. 

69 ° And a maid saw him again, and began to say 
to them that stood by, This is one of them. 

70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they 
that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one 
of them : for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech 
agreeth thereto. 

71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I 
know not this man of whom ye speak. 

72 p And the second time the cock crew. And Peter 
called to mind the word that Jesus said unto liim,

a A ND straightway in the morning the chief priests 
_ZjL held a consultation with the elders and scribes 
and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried 
him away, and delivered him to Pilate. 

2 b And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the 
Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. 

3 And the chief priests accused him of many things ; 
but he answered nothing. 

4 c And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest 
thou nothing ? behold how many things they witness 
against thee. 

5 But Jesus yet answered nothing ; so that Pilate 
marvelled. 

6 d Now at that feast he released unto them one 
prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 

7 e And there was one, named Barabbas, which lay 
bound with them that had made insurrection with him, 
who had committed murder in the insurrection. 

8 And the multitude, crying aloud, began to desire 
him to do as he had ever done unto them. 

9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that 
I release unto you the King of the Jews ? 

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered 
him for envy. 

1 1 f But the chief priests moved the people, that he 
should rather release Barabbas unto them. 

1 2 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, 
What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye 
call the King of the Jews ? 

1 3 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 

14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil 
hath he done ? And they cried out the more exceed- 
ingly, Crucify him. 

15 s And so Pilate, willing to content the people, 
released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, 
when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 

1 6 h And the soldiers led him away into the hall 
called Pretorium ; and they call together the whole 
band. 

1 7 And they clothed him with purple, and platted 
a crown of thorns, and put it about his head; 

1 8 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 

19 ' And they smote him on the head with a reed, 
and did spit upon him, and, bowing their knees, wor- 
shipped him. 

20 And when they had mocked him, they took off 
the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, 
and led him out to crucify him. 

21 k And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who 
passed by, coming out of the country, the father of 
Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. 

22 ' And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, 
which is, being interpreted, The place of a scull. 

23 m And they gave him to drink wine mingled with 
myrrh : but he received -it not. 

24 n And when they had crucified him, they parted 
his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man 
should take. 

25 ° And it was the third hour; and they crucified him. 

26 p And the superscription of his accusation was 
written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

28 r And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, s^^w 
And he was numbered with the transgressors. § 8 Mat 27, 

29 IT 5 And they that passed by railed on him, wag- Luke 23,32.

the temple, and buildest it in three days, s p s . -zz, 8. ' 

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross. | ioV^s 

31 Likewise also the chief priest, mocking, said Mat. 2'-, 39. 
among themselves with the scribes, He saved others ; ? h *P- H'l%- 
himself he cannot save. 

32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from 
the cross, that we may see and believe. And they 
that were crucified with him reviled him. 

33 IT ' And when the sixth hour was come, there was 
darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 

34 u And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud 
voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani ? which is, Mat. 27,46. 
being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou 
forsaken me L. 

35 x And some of them that stood by, when they xMai. 4, 5.

36 y And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, y Ps - 69 . 22- 
and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, ° n19,29 - 
Let alone ; let us see whether Elias will come to take 

him down. 

37 z And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave 
up the ghost. 

38 a And the veil of the temple was rent in twain John 19,' 30' 
from the top to the bottom. ^- ^ ^ 

39 b And when the centurion, which stood over 2Cor. 3,' 14! 
against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the Lukels il' 
ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. Heb. 10,' 19! 

40 c There were also women looking on afar off; j? Mat - 27 > 
among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the Luke 23, 47.

41 a (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed Luke 23, 49. 
him, and ministered unto him ;) and many other women d Luk* a, 2 
which came up with him unto Jerusalem. 

42 IT e And now when the even was come, because 
it was the preparation, that is, the day before the 
sabbath, 

43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, 
which also waited for the kingdom of God, came and 
went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of 
Jesus. 

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead ; 
and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him 
whether he had been any while dead. 

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave 
the body to Joseph. 

46 f And he bought fine linen, and took him down, 
and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepul- 
chre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone Luke'23,50, 
unto the door of the sepulchre. Joh " 19 ' 41 - 

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of

3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll 
us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre ? 

4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone 
was rolled away : for it was very great. 

5 c And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a 
young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long 
white garment ; and they were affrighted. 

6 d And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted. Ye 
seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified : he is 
risen ; he is not here : behold the place where they 
laid him. 

7 e But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter 
that he goeth before you into Galilee : there shall ye 
see him, as lie said unto you. 

8 f And they went out quickly, and fled from the 
sepulchre ; for they trembled and were amazed : 
neither said they any thing to any man : for they were 
afraid, 

9 IT g Now when Jesus was risen early the first day 
of the week, he appeared first to Marj^sMagdalene, 
out of whom he had cast seven devils. . 

10 h And she went and told them that had been 
with him, as they mourned and wept. 

1 1 And they, when they had heard tfiat he was 
alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. 



1 2 IT ' After that he appeared in another form unto 
two of them, as they walked, and went into the 
country. 

13 And they went and told it unto the residue; 
neither believed they them. 

1 4 IT k Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as 
they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbe- 
lief and hardness of heart, because they believed not 
them which had seen him after he was risen. 

15 ' And he said unto them, Go ye into all the 
world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 

16 m He that believeth and is baptized shall be 
saved ; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 

17" And these signs shall follow them that believe : 
In my name shall they cast out devils ; they shall 
speak with new tongues ; 

1 8 ° They shall take up serpents ; and if they drink 
any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them ; they shall 
lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 

19 IF p So then after the Lord had spoken unto 
them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the 
right hand of God. 

20 q And they went forth, and preached every- 
where, the Lord working with them, and confirming 
the word with signs following. Amen.

CHAP. I. 

1 Luke's preface. 5 The conception of John Baptist, 26 and 
of Christ. 57 The nativity and circumcision of John. 
64 The mouth of Zacharias opened : 67 his prophecy. 

a "J70RASMUCH as many have taken in hand to 
3- set forth in order a declaration of those things 
which are most surely believed among us, 

2 b Even as they delivered them unto us, which 
from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and ministers 
of the word ; 

3 c It seemed good to me also, having had perfect 
understanding of all things from the very first, to write 
unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 

4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those 
things wherein thou hast been instructed. 

5 IT d npHERE was, in the days of Herod the 

JL king of Judea, a certain priest named 
Zacharias, of the course of Abia : and his wife was of 
the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 

6 e And they were both righteous before God, 
walking in all the commandments and ordinances of 
the Lord blameless. 

7 f And they had no child, because that Elisabeth 
was barren, and they both were now well stricken in 
years. 

8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the 
priest's office before God in the order of his course, 

9 g According to the custom of the priest's office, 
his lot was to burn incense when he went into the 
temple of the Lord. 

10 And the whole multitude of the people were 
praying wiihout at the time of incense. 

1 1 h And there appeared unto him an angel of the 
Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of in- 
cense. 

1 2 ! And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, 
and fear fell upon him. 

1 3 k But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacha- 
rias : for thy prayer is heard ; and thy wife Elisabeth 



shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name 
John. 

14 ' And thou shalt have joy and gladness ; and 
many shall rejoice at his birth. 

. 15 m For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, 
and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink ; and he 
shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from liis 
mother's womb. 

1 6 D And many of the children of Israel shall he 
turn to the Lord their God. 

17° And he shall go before him in the spirit and 
power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the 
children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the 
just ; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. 

1 8 If p And Zacharias said unto the angel, Where- 
by shall I know this ? for I am an old man, and my 
wife well stricken in years. 

1 9 q And the angel answering, said unto him, I am 
Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God ; and am 
sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad 
tidings. 

20 r And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able 
to speak, until the day that these things shall be per- 
formed, because thou believest not my words, which 
shall be fulfilled in their season. 

21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and mar- 
velled that he tarried so long in the temple. 

22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto 
them : and they perceived that he had seen a vision 
in the temple ; for he beckoned unto them, and re- 
mained speechless. 

23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days 
of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to 
his own house. 

24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth con- 
ceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 

25 s Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days 
wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach 
among men.

The conception of Christ. 

26 IT And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was 
sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 

27 l To a virgin espoused to a man whose name 
was Joseph, of the house of David ; and the virgin's 
name was Mary. 

28 u And the angel came in unto her, and said, 
Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with 
thee : blessed art thou among women. 

29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his 
2 Tim. 4. 22. saving, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation 

xGen. 6, 3. J p' , , , 

& is, 3. & this snould be. 

30 x And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary ; 
for ihou hast found favour with God. 

3 1 y And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, 
and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 

32 z He shall be great, and shall be called the Son 
of the Highest : and the Lord God shall give unto him 
the throne of his father David : 

33 a And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for 
ever ; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 

34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this 
seeing I know not a man ? 

35 b And the angel answered and said unto her, 
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power 
of the Highest shall overshadow thee ; therefore also 
that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be 
called the Son of God. 

36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also 
conceived a son in her old age : and this is the sixth 
month with her who was called barren. 

37 c For with God nothing shall be impossible. 

38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the 
Lord 5 be it unto me according to thy word. And the 
angel departed from her. 

39 1 And Mary arose in those days, and went into 
the hill-country with haste, into a city of Juda 5 

40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and 
saluted Elisabeth. 

41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard 
the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb ; 
and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost : 

42 d And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, 
Blessed art thou among women ; and blessed is the 
fruit of thy womb. 

43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of 
my Lord should come to me ? 

44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation 
sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb 
for joy. 

45 e And blessed is she that believed : for there shall 
be a performance of those things which were told her 
from the Lord. 

46 IT f And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the 
Lord, 

47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour 

48 s For he hath regarded the || low estate of his 
handmaiden : for, behold, from henceforth all genera- 
tions shall call me blessed. 

49 h For he that is mighty hath done to me great 
things ; and holy is his name. 

50 ' And his mercy is on them that fear him, from 
generation to generation. 

51 k He hath shewed strength with his arm ; he hath 
scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 

52 ' He hath put down the mighty from their seats, 
and exalted them of low degree. 

53 m He hath filled the hungiy with good things ; 
Psai. 34, 11. and the rich he hath sent empty away.

CHAP. 11. Zacharias'' prophecy. 

54 n He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remem- Eefore tt " 
brance of his mercy ; 

55 ° As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and 
to his seed for ever. 

56 And Mary abode with her about three months, 
and returned to her own house. 

57 IT Now Elisabeth's full time came that she 
should be delivered ; and she brought forth a son. 

58 p And her neighbours and her cousins heard how 
the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her ; and they 
rejoiced with her. 

59 q And it came to pass, that on the eighth day 
they came to circumcise the child ; and they called 
him Zacharias, after the name of his father. 

60 r And his mother answered and said, Not so ; 
but he shall be called John. 

61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy 
kindred that is called by this name. 

62 And they made signs to his father, how he 
w T ould have him called. 

63 And he asked for a writing-table, and wrote, 
saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. 

64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and 
his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. 

65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about 
them : and all these sayings were noised abroad 
throughout all the hill-country of Judea: 

66 And all they that heard them laid them up in 
their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this 
be ? And the hand of the Lord was with him. 

67 IT And his father Zacharias was filled with the 
Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 

68 s Blessed be the Lord God of Israel ; for he hath 
visited and redeemed his people, 

69 l And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us 
in the house of his servant David ; 

70 u As he spake by the mouth of Lis holy prophets, 



16. 



which have been since the world began : 

71 x That we should be saved from our enemies, 
and from the hand of all that hate us. 

72 y To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, 
and to remember his holy covenant, 

73 z The oath which he sware to our father Abra- 
ham, 

74 a That he would grant unto us, that we, being 
delivered out of the hands of our enemies, might serve 
him without fear, 

75 b In holiness and righteousness before him, all 
the days of our life. 

76 c And thou, child, shalt be called The Prophet 
of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of m,,. 
the Lord to prepare his ways. 

77 '' To give knowledge of salvation unto his peo- 
ple, by the remission of their sins, 

78 e Through the tender mercy of our God ; whereby 
the day-spring from on high hath visited us, 

79 f To give light to them that sit in darkness an I 
in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way 
of peace. 

80 8 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spil it. 
and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto ch.2, 10.2 
Israel.

2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius 
was governor of Syria.) 

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own 
city. 

4 a And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of 
the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of 
David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was 
of the house and lineage of David,) 

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being 
great with child. 

6 IT And so it was, that, while they were there, the 
days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 

7 b And she brought forth her first-born son, and 
wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a 
manger ; because there was no room for them in the 
inn. 

8 IT And there were in the same country shepherds 
abiding in the |f field, keeping watch over their flock 
by night. 

9 c And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, 
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them ; 
and they were sore afraid. 

10 d And the angel said unto them, Fear not : for, 
behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which 
shall be to all people. 

1 1 e For unto you is born this day, in the city of 
David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 

12 And this shall be a sign unto you ; Ye shall find 
the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a 
manger. 

1 3 f And suddenly there was with the angel a mul- 
titude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 

1 4 g Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, 
good will toward men. 

1 5 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone 
away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one 
to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and 
see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord 
hath made known unto us. 

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary 
and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 

1 7 And when they had seen it, they made known 
abroad the saying which was told them concerning 
this child. 

1 8 And all they that heard it wondered at those 
things which were told them by the shepherds. 

1 9 h But Mary kept all these things, and pondered 
them in her heart. 

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and 
praising God for all the things that they had heard 
and seen, as it was told unto them. 

21 iT ' And when eight days were accomplished for 
the circumcising of the child, his name was called 
JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he 
was conceived in the womb. 

22 k And when the days of her purification accord- 
ing to the law of Moses were accomplished, they 
brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord ; 

23 ' (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every 
male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to 
the Lord ;) 

24 m And to offer a sacrifice according to that 
which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle- 
doves, or two young pigeons. 

25 IF u And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, 
whose name was Simeon; and the same man mas 
just and devout, Waiting for the consolation of Israel : 
and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 



26 ° And it was revealed unto him by the Holy 
Ghost, that he should not see death before he had 
seen the Lord's Christ. 

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple : and 
when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for 
him after the custom of the law, 

28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed 
God, and said, 

29 p Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in 
peace, according to thy word : 

30 i For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all 
people ; 

32 r A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory 
of thy people Israel. 

33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those 
things which were spoken of him. 

34 3 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary 
his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and 
rising again of many in Israel ; and for a sign which 
shall be spoken against ; 

35 l (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thine own 
soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be 
revealed. 

36 TT And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the 
daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser ; she was 
of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven 
years from her virginity ; 

37 u And she was a widow of about fourscore and 
four years, which departed not from the temple, but 
served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 

38 And she coming in that instant, gave thanks 
likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them 
that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. 

39 And when they had performed all things accord- 
ing to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, 
to their own city Nazareth. 

40 x And the child grew, and waxed strong || in 
spirit, filled with wisdom : and the grace of God was 
upon him. 

4 1 IF y Now his parents went to Jerusalem every 
year at the feast of the passover. 

42 And when he was twelve years old, they went 
up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 

43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they 
returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; 
and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 

44 But they, supposing him to have been in the 
company, went a day's journey ; and they sought him 
among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 

45 And when they found him not, they turned back 
again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 

46 And it came to pass, that after three days they 
found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the 
doctors, both hearing them, and asking them ques- 
tions. 

47 z And all that heard him were astonished at his 
understanding and answers. 

48 And when they saw him, they were amazed : 
and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou 
thus dealt with us ? behold, thy father and I have 
sought thee sorrowing. 

49 a And he said unto them, How is it that ye 
sought me ? wist ye not that I must be about my 
Father's business ? 

50 b And they understood not the saying which he 
spake unto them. 

I 51 c And he went down with them, and came to

CHAP. Ill, 

1 John's preaching and baptism : 15 his testimony of Christ. 
19 Herod imprisoneth John. 21 Christ is baptized: 
23 Ms genealogy. 

NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius 
Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, 
and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his bro- 
ther Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of 
Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 

2 a Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the 
word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in 
the wilderness. 

3 b And he came into all the country about Jordan, 
preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission 
of sins ; 

4 c As it is written in the book of the words of 
Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying 
in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, 
make his paths straight. 

5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain 
and hill shall be brought low ; and the crooked shall 
be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made 
smooth ; 

6 d And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 

7 e Then said he to the multitude that came forth 
to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers ! who 
hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come ? 

8 f Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repent- 
ance ; and begin not to say within yourselves, We 
have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That 
God is able of these stones to raise up children unto 
Abraham. 

9 g And now also the axe is laid unto the root of 
the trees : every tree, therefore, which bringeth not 
forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the 
fire. 

10 h And the people asked him, saying, What 
shall we do then ? 

1 1 ' He answereth and saith unto them, He that 
hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none ; 
and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 

1 2 k Then came also publicans to be baptized, and 
said unto him, Master, what shall we do ? 

13 ' And he said unto them, Exact no more than 
that which is appointed you. 

1 4 m And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, 
saying, And what shall we do ? And he said unto 
them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any 
falsely ; and be content with your wages. 

15 IF And as the people were in expectation, and 
all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he 
were the Christ or not ; 

16 " John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed 
baptize you with water ; but one mightier than I 
comcth, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy 
to unloose : he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost 
and with fire : 

17 ° Whose fan is in his hand, and he will 
thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat 
into his garner ; but the chaff he will burn with fire 
unquenchable. 

13 And many other things, in his exhortation, 
preached he unto the people. 

19 IF p But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by

him for Hercdias his brother Philip's wite, and for all An ™ 
the evils which Herod had done, ' 2t - ' 

20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John v -*^^*»-' 
in prison. 

21 IT q Now when all the people were baptized, it <i Mat. 3, 5. 
came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and Mark 1 5.9. 
piling, the heaven was opened, John l, 32. 

22 r And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily j Psal. 2, i. 
shape like a dove upon him; and a voice came from Mat 3, 15, 
heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in 17.&12, is 
thee I am well pleased.

those days he did eat nothing : and when they were 
ended, he afterward hungered. 

3 e And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son 
of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 

4 d And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, 
That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every 
word of God. 

5 e And the devil, taking him up' into a high moun- 
tain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world 
in a moment of time. 

6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will 
I give thee, and the glory of them : for that is delivered 
unto me ; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 

7 If thou, therefore, wilt worship me, all shall be 
thine. 

8 f And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee 
behind me, Satan : for it is written, Thou shalt wor- 
ship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 

9 s And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him 
on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou 
be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence : 

10 h For it is written, He shall give his angels charge 
over thee, to keep thee ; 

1 1 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest 
at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 

12 ' And Jesus answering, said unto him, It is said, 
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 

1 3 k And when the devil had ended all the tempta- 
tion, he departed from him for a season. 

14 II ' And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit 
into Galilee : and there went out a fame of him through 
all the region round about. 

1 5 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified 
of all. 

16 IT m And he came to Nazareth, where he had been 
brought up : and, as his custom was, he went into the 
synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood up for to read. 

1 7 And there was delivered unto him the book of 
the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the 
book, he found the place where it was written, 

1 8 n The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because 
he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor ; 
he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach 
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to 
the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 

1 9 ° To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to 
the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them 
that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 

2 1 And he began to say unto them, This day is this 
scripture fulfilled in your ears. 

22 p And all bare him witness, and wondered at 
the gracious Words which proceeded out of his mouth. 
And they said, Is not this Joseph's son ? 

23 q And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto 
me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever 
we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in 
thy country. 

24 r And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet 
is accepted in his own country. 

25 s But I tell you of a truth, Many widows were 
in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was 
shut up three years and six months, when great famine 
was throughout all the land ; 

26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto 
Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was aj 
widow. 

27 l And many lepers were iu Israel in the time off 



Eliseus the prophet ; and none of them was cleansed, 
saving Naaman the Syrian. 

28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard 
these things, were filled with wrath, 

29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and 
led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city 
was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 

30 u But he, passing through the midst of them, went 
his way, 

31 x And came down to Capernaum, a city of 
Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath-days. 

32 y And they were astonished at his doctrine : for 
his word was with power. 

33 1 z And in the synagogue there was a man which 
had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a 
loud voice, 

34 a Saying, Let us alone ; what have we to do 
with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth ? art thou come to 
destroy us ? I know thee who thou art ; the Holy One 
of God. 

35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, 
and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown 
him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 

36 And they were all amazed, and spake among 
themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with 
authority and power he commandeth the unclean 
spirits, and they come out. 

37 And the fame of him went out into every place 
of the country round about. 

38 IT b And he arose out of the synagogue, and 
entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's 
mother was taken with a great fever ; and they oe- 
sought him for her. 

39 c And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever ; 
and it left her : and immediately she arose and minis- 
tered unto them. 

40 IT a Now when the sun was setting, all they that 
had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto 
him ; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and 
healed them. 

41 e And devils also came out of many, crying out, 
and saying. Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he, 
rebuking them, suffered them not to speak : for they 
knew that he was Christ. 

42 f And when it was day, he departed, and went 
into a desert place : and the people sought him, and 
came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not

5 And Simon answering said nnto him, Master, we 
have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing : 
nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 

6 And when they had this clone, they enclosed a 
great multitude of fishes : and their net brake 

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which 
were in the other ship, that they should come and help 
them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so 
that they began to sink. 

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' 
knees, saying, Depart from me ; for I am a sinful man, 
O Lord. 

9 For he was astonished, and all that were with 
him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken 

10 d And so was also James and John, the sons of 
Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus 
said unto Simon, Fear not ; from henceforth thou shalt 
catch men. 

1 1 e And when they had brought their ships to land, 
thej' forsook all, and followed him. 

1 2 1 r And it came to pass, when he was in a certain 
city, behold, a man full of leprosy ; who seeing Jesus, 
fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if 
thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 

13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him 
saying, I will ; be thou clean. And immediately the 
leprosy departed from him. 

1 4 6 And he charged him to tell no man : but go 
and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy 
cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a 
testimony unto them. 

15 h But so much the more went there a fame 
abroad of him : and great multitudes came together 
to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 

16 ' And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, 
and prayed. 

17 T k And it came to pass on a certain day, as he 
was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors 
of the law sitting by, which were come out of every 
town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem ; and the 
power of the Lord was present to heal them. 

1 8 IT ' And, behold, men brought in a bed a man 
which was taken with a palsy : and they sought means 
to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 

1 9 And when they could not find by what way they 
might bring him in because of the multitude, they 
went upon the house-top, and let him down through 
the tiling, with his couch, into the midst before Jesus. 

20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, 
Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 

21 m And the scribes and the Pharisees began to 
reason, saying, Who is this which spcaketh blasphe- 
mies " 

22 

unto them, What 
hearts ? 

23 n Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven 
thee ; or to say, Rise up and walk ? 

24 But that ye may know that the Son of man 
hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto 
the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and 
take up thy couch, and go into thy house. 

25 And immediately he rose up before them, and 
took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own 
house, glorifying God. 

26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified 
God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen 
strange things to-day. 



? Who can forgive sins but God alone ? 
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he 
answering said unto them, What reason ye in your 



27 IT ° And after these tilings he went forth, and 
saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of 
custom : and he said unto him, Follow me. 

28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him. 

29 IT p And Levi made him a great feast in his own 
house : and there was a great company of publicans 
and of others that sat down with them. 

30 q But their scribes and Pharisees murmured 
against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink 
with publicans and sinners ? 

31 r And Jesus answering, said unto them, They 
that are whole need not a physician ; but they that 
are sick. 

32 s 1 came not to call the righteous, but sinners to 
repentance. 

33 If * And they said unto him, Why do the disci- 
ples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise 
the disciples of the Pharisees ; but thine eat and drink ? 

34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the chil- 
dren of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom 
is with them ? 

35 But the days will come when the bridegroom 
shall be taken away from them, and then shall they 
fast in those days. 

36 IT u And he spake also a parable unto them : 
No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an 
old ; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, 
and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth 
not with the old. 

37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles ; 
else the new wine will burst the bottles and be spilled, 
and the bottles shall perish. 

38 But new wine must be put into new bottles , 
and both are preserved. 

39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway 
desireth new : for he saith, The old is better.

a A ND it came to pass on the second sabbath after 
-£j&_ the first, that he went through the corn-fields ; 
and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat. 
rubbing them in their hands. 

2 b And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, 
Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sab- 
bath-days ? 

3 c And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not 
read so much as this, what David did, when himself 
was a hungered, and they which were with him ; 

4 d How he went into the house of God, and did 
take and eat the shew-bread, and gave also to them 
that were with him ; which it is not lawful to eat, bul 
for the priests alone ? 

5 e And he said unto them, That the Son of man 
is Lord also of the sabbath. 

6 IT f And it came to pass also on another sabbath, 
that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and 
there was a man whose right hand was withered. 

7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, 
whether he would heal on the sabbath-day, that they 
might find an accusation against him. 

8 * But he knew their thoughts, and said to the 
man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand 
forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 

9 Then said Jesus unto them, 1 will ask you one 
thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath-days to do good, or 
to do evil ? to save life, or to destroy it?

35 e But love ye your enemies, and do good, and 
lend, hoping for nothing again ; and your reward shall 
be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: 
for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 

36 f Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also 
is merciful. 

37 s Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: con- 
demn not, and ye shall not be condemned : forgive, 
and ye shall be forgiven : 

38 h Give, and it shall be given unto you : good 
measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and 
running over, shall men give into your bosom. For 
with the same measure that ye mete withal, it shall 
be measured to you again. 

39 ' And he spake a parable unto them : Can the 
blind lead the blind ? shall they not both fall into the 
ditch ? 

40 k The disciple is not above his master : but 
every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 

41 i And why beholdest thou the mote that is in 
thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is 
in thine own eye ? 

42 m Either how canst thou say to thy brother, 
Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, 
when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in 
thine own eye 1 Thou hypocrite ! cast out first the 
beam out of thine own eye, and then shaft thou see 
clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 

43 n For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt 
fruit ; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 

44 ° For every tree is known by his own fruit : for 
of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble- 
bush gather they grapes. 

45 p A good man out of the good treasure of his 
heart bringeth forth that which is good ; and an evil 
man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth 
that which is evil : for of the abundance of the heart 
his mouth speaketh. 

46 IT i And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do 
not the things which I say ? 

47 r Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my 
sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he 
is like : 

48 He is like a man which built a house, and dig- 
ged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock ; and 
when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently 
upon that house, and could not shake it ; for it was 
founded upon a rock. 

49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man 
that without a foundation built a house upon the earth, 
against which the stream did beat vehemently, and 
immediately it fell ; and the ruin of that house was 
great.

6 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a 
synagogue. 

6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was 
now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends 
to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I 
am not worthy that thou shonldest enter under my roof: 

7 Wherefore neither thought 1 myself worthy to 
come unto thee : but say in a word, and my servant 
shah be healed. 

8 For I also am a man set under authority, having 
under me soldiers : and I say unto one, Go, and he 
goeth ; and to another, Come, and he cometh ; and to 
my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 

9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at 
him, and turned him about, and said unto the people 
that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so 
great faith, no, not in Israel. 

10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, 
found the servant whole that had been sick. 

11 IT And it came to pass the day after, that he went 
into a city called Nain ; and many of his disciples 
went with him, and much people. 

12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, 
behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son 
of his mother, and she was a widow : and much people 
of the city was with her. 

1 3 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion 
on her, and said unto her, Weep not. 

14 b And he came and touched the bier: and they 
that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, 
I say unto thee, Arise. 

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to 
speak. And he delivered him to his mother. 

16 c And there came a fear on all : and they glorified 
God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among 
us ; and, That God hath visited his people. 

1 7 And this rumour of him went forth throughout 
all Judea, and throughout all the region round about. 

1 8 IT u And the disciples of John shewed liim of all 
these things. 

1 9 e And John calling unto him two of his disciples, 
sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should 
come ? or look we for another ? 

20 When the men were come unto him, they said, 
John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou 
he that should come 1 or look we for another ? 

21 And in the same hour he cured many of their 
infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits ■, and unto 
many that were blind he gave sight. 

22 f Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your 
way, and tell John what things ye have seen and 
heard ; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the 
lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, 
to the poor the gospel is preached. 

23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be of- 
fended in me. 

24 IT e And when the messengers of John were de- 
parted, he began to speak unto the people concerning 
John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see 1 
A reed shaken with the wind ? 

25 h But what went ye out for to see ? A man clothed 
in soft raiment ? Behold, they which are gorgeously 
apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. 

26 ' But what went ye out for to see ? A prophet ? 
Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 

27 k This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send 
my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy 
way before thee. 



28 ' For 1 say unto you, Among those that are born 
of women there is not a greater prophet than John the 
Baptist : but he that is least in the kingdom of God is 
greater than he. 

29 m And all the people that heard him. and the 
publicans, justified God, being baptized with the bap- 
tism of John. 

30 n But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the 
counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized 
of him. 

31 IT ° And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I 
liken the men of this generation? and to what are 
they like ? 

32 They are like unto cliilclren sitting in the market- 
place, and calling one to another, and saying, We 
have piped unto you, and ye have not danced ; we 
have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. 

33 p For John the Baptist came neither eating bread 
nor drinking wine ; and ye say, He hath a devil. 

34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking ; 
and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a wine- 
bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners ! 

35 But Wisdom is justified of all her children. 

36 IT i And one of the Pharisees desired him that 
he would eat with him. And he went into the Phari- 
see's house, and sat down to meat. 

37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a 
sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the 
Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of oint- 
ment, 

38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and 
began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them 
with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and 
anointed them with the ointment. 

39 r Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him 
saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if 
he were a prophet, would have known who and what 
manner of woman this is that toucheth him -, for she 
is a sinner. 

40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I 
have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, 
Master, say on. 

41 There was a certain creditor which had two 
debtors : the one owed five hundred pence, and the 
other fifty : 

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly 
forgave them both. Tell me, therefore, which of them 
will love him most ? 

43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he to 
whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou 
hast rightly judged. 

44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto 
Simon, Seest thou this woman ? I entered into thy 
house, thou gavest me no water for my feet : but she 
hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with 
the hairs of her head. 

45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman, since 
the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my fcef. 

46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint : but this 
woman hath anointed my feet with ointment 

47 Wherefore, I say unto thee, Her sins, which are 
many, are forgiven ; for she loved much : but to whom 
little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 

48 8 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 

49 * And they that sat at meat with him began to say 
within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also i 

50 u And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath 
saved thee ; go in peace.

The parable of the sower. 

CHAP. VIII. 

J Devout women minister unto Christ. 4 The parable of the 

sower, 16 and of the candle. 26 The legion of the devils 

cast out, 4-c. 

ND it came to pass afterward, that he went 

throughout every city and village, preaching and 

shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God : and 

the twelve were with him, 

2 a And certain women which had been healed of 
evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, 
out of whom went seven devils, 

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, 
and Susanna, and many others which ministered unto 
him of their substance. 

4 IT b And when much people were gathered together, 
and were come to him out of every city, he spake by 
a parable : 

5 A sower went out to sow his seed : and as he 
sowed, some fell by the way-side ; and it was trodden 
down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 

6 And some fell upon a rock ; and as soon as it 
was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked 
moisture. 

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns 
sprang up with it, and choked it. 

8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, 
and bare fruit a hundred-fold. And when he had said 
these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let 
him hear. 

9 IT c And his disciples asked him, saying, What 
might this parable be ? 

10 d And he said, Unto you it is given to know- the 
mysteries of the kingdom of God : but to others in 
parables ; that seeing they might not see, and hearing 
they might not understand. 

1 1 IT e Now the parable is this : The seed is the 
word of God. 

12 Those by the way-side are they that hear ; then 
cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of 
their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 

13 f They on the rock are they, which, when they 
hear, receive the word with joy ; and these have no 
root, which for a while believe, and in time of temp- 
tation fall away. 

14 g And that which fell among thorns are they, 
which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked 
with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and 
bring no fruit to perfection. 

15 But that on the good ground are they, which, in 
an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep 
it, and bring forth fruit with patience. 

1 6 IT h No man, when he hath lighted a candle, 
covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed ; 
but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter 
in may see the light. 

1 7 5 For nothing is secret that shall not be made 
manifest ; neither any thing hid that shall not be known 
and come abroad. 

1 8 k Take heed therefore how ye hear : for whoso- 
ever hath, to him shall be given ; and whosoever hath 
not, from him shall be taken even that wliich he 
seemeth to have. 

1 9 IT ' Then came to him his mother and his brethren, 
and could not come at him for the press. 

20 And it was told him by certain, which said, Thy 
mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see 
thee. 

Si m And he answered and said unto them, My

ST. LUKE. T/ie legion of devils cast out. 

mother and my brethren are these which hear the An "° 
word of God, and do it. m ^* 1 

22 IT n Now it came to pass on a certain day, that v -*-v~' 
he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said M^rkt'^ 
unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the 36. 
lake. And they launched forth. 

23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there 
came down a storm of wind on the lake ; and they 
were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. 

24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying. 
Master, Master, we perish ! Then he rose, and rebu- 
ked the wind and the raging of the water : and they 
ceased, and there was a calm. 

25 ° And he said unto them, Where is your faith ? ° J °t^. 12 
And they, being afraid, wondered, saying one to 89Ja°&u>£ 
another, What manner of man is this ? for he com- 25! 
mandeth even the winds and water, and they obey 
him. 

26 IT p And they arrived at the country of the 
Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 

27 And when he went forth to land, there met him 
out of the city a certain man which had devils long 
time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, 
but in the tombs. 

28 q When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell 
down before him, and with a loud voice said, What 
have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most 
high ? I beseech thee torment me not. 

29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to 
come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught 
him : and he was kept bound with chains and in fet- 
ters •, and he brake the bands, and was driven of the 
devil into the wilderness.) 

30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy 
name ? And he said, || Legion : because many devils 
were entered into him. 

31 And they besought him that he would not com- 
mand them to go out into the deep. 

32 And there was there a herd of many swine Mat 26, as. 
feeding on the mountain ; and they besought him that 
he would suffer them to enter into them : and he 
suffered them. 

33 Then went the devils out of the man, and en- 
tered into the swine : and the herd ran violently down 
a steep place into the lake, and were choked. 

34 When they that fed them saw what was done, 
they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the 
country. 

35 Then they went out to see what was done ; and 
came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the 
devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clo- 
thed, and in his right mind : and they were afraid. 

36 They also which saw it told them by what 
means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. 

37 IT r Then the whole multitude of the country of r Acts k, 
the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart 3a 
from them ; for they were taken with great fear : and 
he went up into the ship, and returned back again. 

38 s Now the man out of whom the devils were sMw*5,h 
departed besought him that he might be with him : but 
Jesus sent him away, saying, 

39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great 
things God hath done unto thee. And he went his 
way, and published throughout the whole city how 
great things Jesus had done unto him. 

40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was 
returned, the people gladly received him : for they 
were all waiting for him.

41 IT * And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, 
and he was a ruler of the synagogue : and he fell 
down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would 
come into his house : 

42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve 
years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went, 
the people thronged him. 

43 IT u And a woman having an issue of blood 
twelve years, which had spent all her living upon 
physicians, neither could be healed of any, 

44 Came behind him, and touched the border of 
his garment: and immediate^ her issue of blood 
stanched. 

45 And Jesus said, Who touched me ? When all 
denied, Peter, and they that were with him, said, 
Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and 
sayest thou, Who touched me ? 

46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me : 
for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 

47 And when the woman saw that she was not 
hid, she came trembling, and, falling down before him, 
she declared unto him before all the people for what 
cause she had touched him, and how she was healed 
immediately. 

48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good 
comfort ; thy faith hath made thee whole : go in peace. 

49 IT x While he yet spake, there cometh one from 
the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, 
Thy daughter is dead ; trouble not the Master. 

50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, 
saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be 
made whole. 

51 And when he came into the house, he suffered 
no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, 
and the father and the mother of the maiden. 

52 y And aV wept, and bewailed her : but he said, 
Weep not ; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 

53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that 
she was dead. 

54 And he put them all out, and took her by the 
hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 

55 z And her spirit came again, and she arose 
straightway : and he commanded to give her meat. 

56 And her parents were astonished ; but he char- 
ged them that they should tell no man what was done. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 Christ sendeth out his apostles : 7 Herod is desirous to 
see him. 12 Christ feedeth Jive thousand: 28 his trans 
figuration, &tc 

8 nnHEN he called his twelve disciples together, 

_1_ and gave them power and authority over all 

devils, and to cure diseases. 

2 b And he sent them to preach the kingdom of 
God, and to heal the sick. 

3 c And he said unto them, Take nothing for your 
journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, nei- 
ther money ; neither have two coats apiece. 

4 d And whatsoever house ye enter into, there 
abide, and thence depart. 

5 e And whosoever will not receive you, when ye 
go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your 
feet, for a testimony against them. 

6 f And they departed, and went through the towns, 
preaching the gospel, and healing every where. 

7 IF s Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that 
was done by him : and he was perplexed, because 
that it was said of some that John was risen from the 
dead; 

4K 



8 h And of some, That Elias had appeared ; and 
of others, That one of the old prophets was risen again. 

9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but 
who is this, of whom I hear such things ? And he 
desired to see him. 

10 IT ' And the apostles, when they were returned, 
told him all that they had done. And he took them, 
and went aside privately into a desert place belonging 
to the city called Bethsaida. 

1 1 And the people, when they knew it, followed 
liim : and he received them, and spake unto them of 
the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need 
of healing. 

1 2 IT k And when the day began to wear away, then 
came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multi- 
tude away, that they may go into the towns and 
country round about, and lodge, and get victuals : for 
we are here in a desert place. 

13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. 
And they said, We have no more but five loaves and 
two fishes ; except we should go and buy meat for all 
this people. 

14 (For they were about five thousand men.) And 
he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties 
in a company. 

1 5 And they did so, and made them all sit. down. 

16 l Then he took the five loaves and the two 
fishes ; and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, 
and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the 
multitude. 

1 7 And they did eat, and were all filled : and there 
was taken up of fragments that remained to them 
twelve baskets. 

18 TT m And it came to pass, as he was alone pray- 
ing, his disciples |] were with him : and he asked them, 
saying, Whom say the people that I am ? 

19 n They answering said, John the Baptist ; but 
some say, Elias ; and others say, That one of the old 
prophets is risen again. 

20 ° He said unto them, But whom say ye that I 
am ? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. 

21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded 
them to tell no man that thing ; 

22 p Saying, The Son of man must suffer many 
things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests 
and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. 

23 IT *» And he said to them all, If any man will 
come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his 
cross daily, and follow me. 

24 ' For whosoever will save his life shall lose it : 
but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same 
shall save it. 

25 B For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the 
whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away ? 

26 l For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of 
my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, 
when he shall come in his own glory, and m his 
Father's, and of the holy angels. 

27 u But I tell you of a truth, There be some 
standing here which shall not taste of death till they 
see the kingdom of God. . 

28 IT *And it came to pass about an right days 
after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, 
and went up into a mountain to pray. 

29 And as he prayed, the fashion of lus countenance 
was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. 

30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, 
which were Moses and Elias :

32 y But Peter and they that were with him were 
heavy with sleep : and when they were awake, they 
saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 

33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, 
Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be 
here : and let us make three tabernacles ; one for thee, 
and one for Moses, and one for Elias : not knowing 
what he said. 

34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and 
overshadowed them : and they feared || as they entered 
into the cloud. 

35 z And there came a voice out of the cloud, say- 
ing, This is my beloved Son : hear him. 

36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found 
alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in 
those days any of those things which they had seen. 

37 IT a And it came to pass, that on the next day, 
when they were come down from the hall, much peo- 
ple met him. 

38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, 
saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son ; 
for he is mine only child : 

39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly 
crieth out ; and it teareth him that he foameth again ; 
and, bruising him, hardly departeth from him. 

40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out ; 
and they could not. 

41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and per- 
verse generation ! how long shall I be with you, and 
suffer you ? Bring thy son hither. 

42 And as he was yet a coming, the deviljhrew 
him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the 
unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him 
again to his father. 

43 IT And they were all amazed at the mighty power 
of God. But while they wondered every one at all 
things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, 

44 b Let these sayings sink down into your ears : 
for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands 
of men. 

45 c But they understood not this saying, and it was 
hid from them, that they perceived it not : and they 
feared to ask him of that saying. 

46 IT d Then there arose a reasoning among them, 
which of them should be greatest. 

47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, 
took a child, and set him by him, 

48 e And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive 
this child in my name receiveth me 5 and whosoever 
shall receive me receiveth him that sent me : for he 
that is least among you all, the same shall be great. 

49 IF f And John answered and said, Master, we saw 
one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad 
him, because he followeth not witli us. 

50 g And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not : for 
he that is not against us is for us. 

51 IF h And it came to pass, when the time was come 
that he should be received up, he t steadfastly set his 
face to go to Jerusalem, 

52 And sent messengers before his face : and they 
went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to 
make ready for him. 

53 * And they did not receive him, because his face 
was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 

54 k And when his disciples, James and John, saw 
(his, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire 



to come down from heaven, and consume them, even 
as Elias did ? 

55 But he turned and rebuked them, and said, Ye 
know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 

56 i For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's 
lives, but to save them. And they went to another 
village. 

57 IT m And it came to pass, that, as they went in 
the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will 
follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 

58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and 
birds of the air have nests ; but the Son of man hath 
not where to lay his head. 

59 " And he said unto another, Follom me. But 
he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 

60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their 
dead ; but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 

61 ° And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee ; 
but let me first go bid them farewell which are at home 
at my house. 

62 And Jesus said unto him, No man having put 
his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the 
kingdom of God. 

CHAP. X. 

1 Christ sendeth out seventy disciples. 13 Woes against 
Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum. 38 Mary com- 
mended, fyc. 

a k FTER these things the Lord appointed other 
-ZjL seventy also, and sent them two and two before 
his face into every city and place, whither he himself 
would come. 

2 b Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly 
is great, but the labourers are few : pray ye therefore 
the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth 
labourers into his harvest. 

3 c Go your ways : behold, I send you forth as 
lambs among wolves. 

4 d Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes : and 
salute no man by the way. 

5 e And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, 
Peace be to this house. 

6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall 
rest upon it : if not, it shall turn to you again. 

7 f And in the same house remain, eating and drink- 
ing such things as they give : for the labourer is worthy 
of his hire. Go not from house to house. 

8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they 
receive you, eat such things as are set before you : 

9 g And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto 
them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 

10 b But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they 
receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of 
the same, and say, 

1 1 Even the very dust of your city, which cleayeth 
on us, we do wipe off against you : notwithstanding, 
be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come 
nigh unto you. 

1 2 * But I say unto you, That it shall be more 
tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city. 

1 3 IT k Wo unto thee, Chorazin ! wo unto thee, 
Bethsaida ! for if the mighty works had been done in 
Tyre and Sidon which have been done in you, they 
had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth 
and ashes. 

1 4 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon 
at the judgment than for you. 

1 5 1 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to 
heaven, shalt be thcvy down to hell.

How to attain eternal life. 




16 m He that heareth you heareth me ; and he that 
despiseth you despiseth roe ; and he that despiseth me 
despiseth him that sent me. 

17 IF And the seventy returned again with joy, say- 
ing, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through 
thy name. 

18" And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as light- 
ning fall from heaven. 

19 ° Behold, I give unto you power to tread on 
&° h i2 44 2 & ser P en ts and scorpions, and over all the power of the 
13, ?b. & enemy : and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 
i ti 21 - 4 r "^ P Notwithstanding, in this rejoice not, that the 
n John 12, ' spirits are subject unto you ; but rather rejoice, because 
si. & 10, n. your names are written in heaven. 
Rev.12,'8,9. 21 IT q In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, 
& 2o, lia. I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, 
ha^'hn' I' that thou hast hid these things from the wise and pru- 
Mark 16,18. dent, and hast revealed them unto babes : even so, 
Rom 2 n; 20 Father ; for so it seemed good in thy sight. 

22 r All things are delivered to me of my Father : 
and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father ; 
and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom 
the Son will reveal him. 

23 IT 3 And he turned him unto his disciples, and 
said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the 
things that ye see : 

24 For 1 tell you, that many prophets and kings 
have desired to see those things which ye see, and 
have not seen them ; and to hear those things which 
ye hear, and have not heard them. 

25 IT l And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and 
tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit 
eternal life ? 

26 He said unto him, What is written in the law ? 
how readest thou ? 

27 u And he answering said, Thou shalt love the 
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy 
soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind ; 
and thy neighbour as thyself. 

28 * And he said unto him. Thou hast answered 
right : this do, and thou shalt live. 

29 y But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, 
And who is my neighbour ? 

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went 
down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among 
thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded 
him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 

31 z And by chance there came down a certain 
priest that way : and when he saw him, he passed by 
on ihe other side. 

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, 
came and looked on him, and passed by on the other 
side. 

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came 
where he was : and when he saw him, he had com-

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, 
pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own boast, 
and brought him to an inn, and took enre of him. 

35 a And on the morrow when he departed, he took 
out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said 
unto him, Take care of him ; and whatsoever Ihou 
spendest more, when I come again I will repay thee. 

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was 
neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. 
Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. 

38 TT b Now it came to pass, as they went, that he

entered into a certain village : and a certain woman 
named Martha received him into her house. 

39 c And she had a sister called Mary, which also 
sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 

40 d But Martha v/as cumbered about much serving, 
and came to him and said, Lord, dost thou not care 
that my sister hath left me to serve alone ? bid her 
therefore that she help me. 

41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, 
Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many 
things : 

42 But one thing is needful : and Mary hath chosen 
that good part, which shall not be taken away from 
her. 

CHAP. XI. 

2 Christ teachelh to pray: 14 he casteth out a dumb devil: 
27 he sheweth who are truly blessed: 29 he preacheth to the 
people, 37 and reproveih the Pharisees' outward shew of 
holi7iess, &,-c. 
ND it came to pass, that as he was praying in a 
certain place, when he ceased, one of his disci- 
ples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John 
also taught, his disciples. 

2 a And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our 
Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name : 
Thy kingdom come : Thy will be done, as in heaven, 
so in earth. 

3 b Give us day by day our daily bread. 

4 e And forgive us our sins ; for we also forgive 
every one that is indebted to us : And lead us not into 
temptation : but deliver us from evil. 

5 d And he said unto them, Which of you shall 
have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and 
say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves ; 

6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to 
me, and I have nothing to set before him ? 

7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble 
me not ; the door is now shut, and my children are 
with me in bed ; I cannot rise and give thee. 

8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give 
him because he is his friend, yet because of his t im- 
portunity he will rise and give him as many as he 
needeth. 

9 e And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given 
you ; seek, and ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be 
opened unto you. 

10 For every one that asketh receiveth ; and he 
that seeketh findeth ; and to him that knocketh it shall 
be opened. 

11 f If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is 
a father, will he give him a stone 1 or if he ask a fish, 
will he for a fish give him a serpeiu 

12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a 
scorpion ? 

13 g If yie then, being evil, know how to give good 
gifts unto your children, how much more shall your 
heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask 
him? 

14 IT h And he was casting out a devil, and if was 
dumb. And it came to pass, when (he devil was gone 
out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. 

15 '' But some of them said. I le casteth oul devils 
through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 

16 k And others, templing hint, sought Oi him a sign 
from heaven. . . . 

17 l But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto mem, 
Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to 
desolation ; and a house divided against a house, falleth.

18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how 
shall his kingdom stand ? because ye say that I cast 
out devils through Beelzebub. 

19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom 
do your sons cast them out ? therefore shall they be 
your judges. 

20 m But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, 
no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 

21 D When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, 
his goods are in peace : 

22 ° But when a stronger than he shall come upon 
him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his 
armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 

23 p He that is not with me is against me : and he 
that gathereth not with me, scattereth. 

24 q When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, 
he walketh through dry places, seeking rest ; and 
finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house 
whence I came out. 

25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and 
garnished. 

26 r Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other 
spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, 
and dwell there : and the last state of that man is 
worse than the first. 

27 IT s And it came to pass, as he spake these things, 
a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and 
said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, 
and the paps which thou hast sucked. 

28 * But he said, Yea, rather blessed are they that 
hear the word of God, and keep it. 

29 IT u And when the people were gathered thick 
together, he began to say, This is an evil generation : 
they seek a sign ; and there shall no sign be given it 
but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 

30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so 
shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 

31 x The queen of the south shall rise up in the 
judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn 
them : for she came from the utmost parts of the earth 
to hear the wisdom of Solomon ; and, behold, a greater 
than Solomon is here. 

32 y The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judg- 
ment with this generation, and shall condemn it : for 
they repented at the preaching of Jonas ; and, behold, 
a greater than Jonas is here. 

33 z No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth 
it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a 
candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. 

34 a The light of the body is the eye : therefore 
when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of 
light ; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full 
of darkness. 

35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in 
thee be not darkness. 

36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having 
no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when 
the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. 

37 IF And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought 
him to dine with him : and he went in, and sat down 
to meat. 

38 b And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled 
that he had not first washed before dinner. 

39 c And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Phari- 
sees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter ; 
but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. 

40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is 
without make that which is within also ?

1 3 IF And one of the company said unto him, Master, 
speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance 
with me. -fl" 

i Ex 2, 14. H 'And he said unto him, Man, who made me a 
judge or a divider over you ? 

1 5 k And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware 
of covetousness : for a man's life consisteth not in the 
abundance of the things which he possesseth. 

16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The 
ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully : 

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What 
shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow 
my fruits ? 

1 8 And he said, This will I do : I will pull down 
my barns, and build greater ; and there will I bestow 
all my fruits and my goods. 

19 l And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much 
goods laid up for many years ; take thine ease, eat, 
drink, and be merry. 

20 m But God said unto him, Thou fool ! this night 
thy soul shall be required of thee : then whose shall 
those things be, which thou hast provided ? 

21 n So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, 
and is not rich toward God. 

22 IF ° And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I 
say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye 
shall eat ; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 

23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more 
than raiment. 

24 p Consider the ravens : for they neither sow nor 
reap ; which neither have store-house nor barn ; and 
God feedeth them. How much more are ye better 
than the fowls ? 

25 •> And which of you with taking thought can add 
to his stature one cubit ? 

26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is 
least, why take ye thought for the rest ? 

27 Consider the lilies how they grow ; they toil not, 
they spin not : and yet I say unto you, That Solomon 
in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 

28 If then God so clothe the glass, which is to-day 
in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, how 
much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith ? 

29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye 
shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 

30 For all these things do the nations of the world 
seek after : and your Father knoweth that ye have 
need of these things. 

31 r But rather seek ye the kingdom of God ; and 
all these things shall be added unto you. 

32 8 Fear net, t little flock ; for it is your Father's 
good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

CHAP. XIII. 

I Christ preacheth repentance by the calamity upon the 
Galileans and others. 6 The fruitless Jig-tree cursed. 
24 The strait gate. 

HERE were present at that season some that 
told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate 
had mingled with their sacrifices. 

2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose 
ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the 
Galileans, because they suffered such things ? 

3 I tell you, Nay : but except ye repent, ye shall 
all likewise perish. 

4 a Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in 
Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were 
t sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem ? 

5 I tell you, Nay : but except ye repent, ye shall 
all likewise perish. 

6 IT b He spake also this parable : A certain vian 
had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard ; and he came 
and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 

7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, 
Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this 
fig-tree, and find none : cut it down •, why cumbereth 
it the ground ? 

8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it 
alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and 
dung it : 

9 And if it bear fruit, well : and if not, then after 
that thou shalt cut it down. 

10 IF And he was teaching in one of the synagogues 
on the sabbath : 

1 1 And, behold, there was a woman which had a 
spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed 
together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 

12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, 
and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine 
infirmity. 

1 3 And he laid his hands on her : and immediately 
she was made straight, and glorified God. 

14 c And the ruler of the synagogue answered with 
indignation because that Jesus had healed on the 
sabbath-day, and said unto the people, There are six 

t^ck. 20,12. (j a y S j n w hi c h men ought to work : in them therefore 
come and be healed, and not on the sabbath-day. 

1 5 d The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou 
hypocrite ! doth not each one of you on the sabbath 
loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him 
away to watering ? 

16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of 
Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo these eighteen 
years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day ? 

17 And when he had said these things, all his 
adversaries were ashamed : and all the people rejoiced 
for all the glorious things that were done by him.

21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and 
hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was

4 And they held their peace, 
and healed him, and let him go ; 

5 b And answered them, saying, Which of you 
shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will 
not straightway pull him out on the sabbath-day ? 

6 And they could not answer him again to these 
tilings. 

7 If And he put forth a parable to those which were 
t bidden, when he marked how they chose out the 
chief rooms ; saying unto them, 

8 c When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, 
sit not down in the highest room ; lest a more honour- 
able man than thou be bidden of him ; 

9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to 
thee, Give this man place ; and thou begin with shame 
to take the lowest room. 

10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in 
the lowest room : that when he that bade thee cometh, 
he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher : then 
shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that 
sit at meat with thee. 

1 1 d For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased ; 
and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 

12 1 e Then said he also to him that bade him, 
When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy 
friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy 
rich neighbours ; lest they also bid thee again, and a 
recompense be made thee. 

13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, 
the maimed, the lame, the blind : 

14 And thou shalt be blessed ; for they cannot re- 
compense thee : for thou shalt be recompensed at the 
resurrection of the just. 

1 5 IT f And when one of them that sat at meat witli 
him heard these things, he said unto him,' Blessed is 
he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 

16 s Then said he unto him, A certain man made 
a great supper, and bade many : 

17 b And sent his servant at supper-time to say to 
them that were bidden, Come ; for all things are now 
ready. 

1 8 ' And they all with one consent began to make 
excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a 
piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it : 1 
pray thee have me excused. 

1 9 And another said, I have bought five yoke of 
oxen, and 1 go to prove them : I pray thee have me 
excused. 

20 And another said, I have married a wife, and 
therefore I cannot come. 

21 k So that servant came, and shewed his lord 
these things. Then the master of the house, being 
angry, said to his servant, Go out quickly into the 
streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the 
poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 

22 And the servant said. Lord, it is done as thou 
hast commanded, and yet there is room. 

23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into 
the highways and hedges, and || compel them to come

2 b And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, say- b Acts 11,3. 
ing, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 

3 IT And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 

4 c What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if cMat 18, 
he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and "• 
nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, 

until he find it ? 

5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his 
shoulders, rejoicing. 

6 d And when he cometh home, he calleth together dverae i«._ 
his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice * • - 
with me ; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 

7 e I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in e ch - 5 > :a 
heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over 

ninety and nine just persons which need no repentance. 

8 IT Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, 
if she lose one piece, doth not light a caudle, and 
sweep the house, and seek diligently till she. find it ? 

9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends 
and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me ; 
for I have found the piece which 1 IkkI lost. 

1 Likewise, 1 say unto you, There is joy in the 
presence of the angels of God over one sinner that 
repenteth. 

1 1 IT And he said, A certain man had two sons : 

12 And the younger of them said to his father, Fa- 
ther, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. 
And he divided unto them his living. 

13 And not many days after theyounger son gathered 
all together, and took his journey into a far country, 
and there wasted his substance with riotous uvmg. 

14 And when he had spent all. there arose a mighty 
famine in that land ; and he began to be in want. 

15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of 
that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed

The prodigal son. 

17 And when he came to himself, he said, How 
many hired servants of my father's have bread enough 
and to spare, and I perish with hunger ! 

18 I will arise, and go to my father, and will say 
unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and 
before thee, 

19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son : 
make me as one of thy hired servants. 

20 f And he arose, and came to his father. But 
Eph. 2, 12. w h en h e was y e { a g rea t way off, his father saw him, 

and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, 
and kissed him. 

21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned 
against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more 
worthy to be called thy son. 

22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth 
the best robe, and put it on him ; and put a ring on 
his hand, and shoes on his feet : 

23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and 
let us eat and be merrv. 

24 g For this my son was dead, and is alive again ; 
he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 

25 Now his elder son was in the field : and as he 
came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and 
dancing : 

26 And he called one of the servants, and asked 
what these things meant. 

27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come, 
and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he 
hath received him safe and sound. 

28 And he was angry, and would not go in : there- 
fore came his father out, and entreated him. 

29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these 
many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at 
any time thy commandment: and yet thou never 
gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my 
friends : 

30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which 
hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed 
for him the fatted calf. 

31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with 
me, and all that I have is thine. 

32 It was meet that we should make merry and 
be glad : for this thy brother was dead, and is alive 
again ; and was lost, and is found. 

CHAP. XVI. 

1 Of the unjust steward. 1 4 The hypocrisy of the covetous 
Pharisees reproved, fyc. 

AND he said also unto his disciples, There was a 
certain rich man which had a steward ; and the 
same was accused unto him that he had wasted his 
goods. 

2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it 
that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy 
stewardship ; for thou mayest be no longer steward. 

3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall 
I do, for my lord taketh away from me the steward- 
ship 1 I cannot dig ; to beg I am ashamed. 

4 1 am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of 
the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 

5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto 
him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou 
unto my lord ? 

6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And 
he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, 
and write fifty. 

7 Then said he to another, And how much owest 
thou ? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat.

And he said unto him, Take

8 a And the lord commended the unjust steward, 
because he had done wisely : for the children of this 
world are in their generation wiser than the children 
of light. 

9 b And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends bGen.25,8. 
of the mammon of unrighteousness ; that, when ye fail, l 7 .t/^v 23 " 
they may receive you into everlasting habitations. Mat. '^19 

10 c He that is faithful in that which is least is faith- 
ful also in much : and he that is unjust in the least is 
unjust also in much. 

11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the 
unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust 
the true riches ? 

1 2 And if ye have not been faithful in that which 
is another man's, who shall give you that which is 
your own ? 

13 d No servant can serve two masters : for either 
he will hate the one, and love the other ; or else he 
will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye can- 
not serve God and mammon. 

14 IT e And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, 
heard all these things : and they derided him. 

1 5 f And he said unto them, Ye are they which 
justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your p saI 7 
hearts : for that which is highly esteemed among chap ia,2& 
men is abomination in the sight of God. 

16 s The law and the prophets were until John: 
since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and 
every man presseth into it. 

1 7 h And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, 
than one tittle of the law to fail. 

1 8 ' Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth p 8 * 1 " 3 ' ' f 
another, committeth adultery : and whosoever mar- i s s a . 4o~'«. & 
rieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth si> 6. 
adultery. 

19 IT There was a certain rich man, which was 
clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously 
every day : 

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, 
which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which 
fell from the rich man's table : moreover, the dogs 
came and licked his sores. 

22 And it came to pass that the beggar died, and 
was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom : the 
rich man also died, and was buried ; 

23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, 
and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom : 

24 k And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have 
mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the 
tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue ; for I 
am tormented in tins flame. 

25 * But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou Uob2i, 13. 
in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and like- 
wise Lazarus evil things : but now he is comforted, 

and thou art tormented. 

26 And besides all this, between us and you there 
is a great gulf fixed : so that they which would pass 
from hence to you cannot ; neither can they pass to 
us that would come from thence. 

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that 
thou wouldest send him to my father's house ; 

28 For I have five brethren: that he may testify unto & 34.16 
them, test they also come into this place of torment. John 5, 39.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham : but if one 
went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses 
and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded 
though one rose from the dead. 

CHAP. XVII. 

1 To avoid occasions of offence, 3 to forgive one another. 
5 The power of faith, 4»c. 

* Fin HEN said he unto the disciples, It is impossi- 
_i_ ble but that offences will come : but wo unto 
him through whom they come ! 

2 It were better for him that a millstone were 
hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than 
that he should offend one of these little ones. 

3 l b Take heed to yourselves : If thy brother tres- 
pass against thee, rebuke him ; and if he repent, for- 
give him. 

4 b And if he trespass against thee seven times in a 
day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, 
saying, I repent ; thou shalt forgive him. 

5 IT And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase 
our faith. 

6 c And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of 
mustard-seed, ye might say unto this sycamine-tree, 
Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted 
in the sea ; and it should obey you. 

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing, or 
feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he 
is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat 1 

8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready 
wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, 
till I have eaten and drunken ; and afterward thou 
shalt eat and drink ? 

9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the 
things that were commanded him ? I trow not. 

10 u So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all 
those things which are commanded you, say, We are 
unprofitable servants ; we have done that which was 
our duty to do. 

11 1f e And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusa- 
lem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and 
Galilee. 

12 f And as he entered into a certain village, there 
met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, 
Master, have mercy on us. 

1 4 B And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go 
shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to 
pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 

1 b And one of them, when he saw that he was heal- 
ed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God ; 

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him 
thanks : and he was a Samaritan. 

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten 
cleansed '! but where are the nine ? 

1 8 There are not found that returned to give glory 
to God, save this stranger. 

19 h And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way : thy 
faith hath made thee whole. 

20 TI And when he was demanded of the Pharisees 
when the kingdom of God should come, he answered 
them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with 
observation : 

21 ' Neither shall they say, Lo here ! or, Lo there ! 
for, behold, the kingdom of God is || within you. 

22 TI And he said unto the disciples, The days will 
come when ye shall desire to see one of the days of 
the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

publican : 

1 2 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that 
T possess. 

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not 
lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote 
upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 

14 f I tell you, This man went down to his house 
justified rather than the other: for every one that ex- 
alteth himself shall be abased ; and he that humbleth 
himself shall be exalted. 

1 5 IT E And they brought unto him also infants, that 
he would touch them : but when his disciples saw it, 
they rebuked them. 

16 h But Jesus called them unto him, and said. Suf- 
fer little children to come unto me, and forbid them 
not : for of such is the kingdom of God. 

1 7 ' Verily 1 say unto you, Whosoever shall not 
receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in 
no wise enter therein. 

1 8 IF k And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good 
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life ? 

19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me 
good ? none is good, save one, that is, God. 

20 l Thou knowest the commandments, Do not 
commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not 
bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 

21 And he said, All these have I kept from my 
youth up. 

22 m Now when Jesus heard these things, he said 
unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing : sell all that 
thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt 
have treasure in heaven : and come, follow me. 

23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful : 
for he -was very rich. 

24 n And when Jesus saw that he was very sor- 
rowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have 
riches enter into the kingdom of God ! 

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a nee- 
dle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the king- 
dom of" God. 

26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be 
saved ? 

27 ° And he said, The things which are impossible 
with men are possible with God. 

28 IT p Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and 
followed thee. 

29 i And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, 
There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or 
brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's 
sake, 

30 r Who shall not receive manifold more in this 
present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. 

31 IT s Then he took tmto him the twelve, and said 
unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all 
things that are written by the prophets concerning the 
Son of man shall be accomplished. 

32 * For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, 
and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and 
spitted on : 

33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to 
death : and the third day he shall rise again. 

34 And they understood none of these things : and 
this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the 
things which were spoken. 

35 IT u And it came to pass, that as he was come 
nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way- 
side, begging : 



36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked 
what it meant. 

37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth pass- 
eth by. 

38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, 
have mercy on me. 

39 And they which went before rebuked him, that 
he should hold his peace : but he cried so much the 
more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 

40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be 
brought unto him : and when he was come near, he 
asked him, 

41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? 
And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 

42 x And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight : 
thy faith hath saved thee. 

43 And immediately he received his sight, and 
followed him, glorifying God : and all the peoples 
when they saw it, gave praise unto God. 

CHAP. XIX. 

1 Of Zaccheus the publican. 13 The ten pieces of money* 
41 Christ weepeth over Jerusalem, Sfc. 
ND Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zac- 
cheus, which was the chief among the publicans, and 
he was rich. 

3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was ; and 
could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 

4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a syca- 
more-tree to see him ; for he was to pass that way. 

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked 
up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zaccheus, make 
haste, and come down ; for to-day I must abide at 
thy house. 

6 And he made haste, and came down, and received 
him joyfully. 

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, say- 
ing, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is 
a sinner. 

8 a And Zaccheus stood, and said unto the Lord, 
Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor : 
and if I have taken any thing from any man by false 
accusation, I restore him fourfold. 

,9 b And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation 
come to this house, forasmuch as he also is the son of 
Abraham. 

1 c For the Son of man is come to seek and to 
save that which was lost. 

1 1 IT And as they heard these things, he added and 
spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, 
and because they thought that the kingdom of God 
should immediately appear. 

12 d He said therefore, A certain nobleman went 
into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, 
and to return. 

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered 
them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I 
come. 

1 4 e But his citizens hated him, and sent a message 
after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign 
over us. 

1 5 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, 
having received the kingdom, then he commanded 
these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had 
given the money, that he might know how much 
every man had gained by trading. 

1 6 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound 
hath gained ten pou?.*^.

Of the ten pieces of money. 

17 f And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant : 
because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have 
thou authority over ten cities. 

1 8 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound 
hath gained five pounds. 

19 And he said likewise to him, Be thpu also over 
five cities. 

20 And another came, slaying, Lord, behold, here 
is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin : 

21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere 
man : thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and 
reapest that thou didst not sow. 

22 E And he saith unto him, Out of thine own 
mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou 
knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I 
laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow : 

23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into 
the bank, that at my coming I might have required 
mine own with usury ? 

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from 
him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 

25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten 
pounds.) 

26 h For I say unto you, That unto every one 
which hath shall be given ; and from him that hath 
not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 

27 But those mine enemies, which would not that 
I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them 
before me. 

28 ' And when he had thus spoken, he went before, 
ascending up to Jerusalem. 

29 IT k And it came to pass, when he was come 
nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called 
the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 

30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against yon] 
in the which, at your entering, ye shall find a colt tied, 
whereon yet never man sat : loose him, and bring him 
hither. 

31 And if any man ask" you, Why do ye loose him? 
thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath 
need of him. 

32 And they that were sent went their way, and 
found even as he had said unto them. 

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners 
thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt ? 

34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 

35 ' And they brought him to Jesus : and they cast 
their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus 
thereon. 

36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the 
way. 

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the 
descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude 
of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with 
a loud voice, for all the mighty works that they had 
seen ; 

38 m Saying, Blessed be the King that comelh in 
the name of the Lord ; peace in heaven, and glory in 
the highest. 

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the 
multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy dis- 
ciples. 

40 n And he answered and said unto them, T tell 
you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones 
would immediately cry out. 

41 TT And when he was come near, he beheld the 
city, and wept over it,

CHAP. XX. The parable of the vineyard, 

least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy 
peace ! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 

43 p p'or the days shall come upon thee, that thine 
enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass je'rVsj't;' 
thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 

44 q And shall lay thee even with the ground, 
and thy children within thee ; and they shall not leave 
in thee one stone upon another ; because thou knew- 
est not the time of thy visitation. 

45 r And he went into the temple, and began to 
cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought ; 

46 s Saying unto them, It is written, My house is 
the house of prayer : but ye have made it a den of 29. 
thieves. 

47 l And he taught daily in the temple. But the 
chief priests and the scribes, and the chief of the peo- 
ple, sought to destroy him ; 

48 And could not find what they might do 
the people t were very attentive to hear him. 

CHAP. XX 

1 Christ silenceth those who questioned his authority. 9 The 
parable of the vineyard. 27 The Sadducees confuted, &rc. 

A r D it came to pass that on one of those days, a Mat. 21, 
as he taught the people in the temple, and ^ 
preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes 
came upon him, with the elders, 

2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, By what 
authority docst thou these things ? or who is he that 
gave thee this authority ? 

3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also 
ask you one thing •> and answer me : 

4 b The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of bMat. 14,5. 
? & 17, 12. 

Mark 9 13. 

5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If chap. 1,' id. 
we shall say, From heaven ; he will say, Why then f/'jg & 
believed ye him not ? 

6 But and if we say, Of men ; all the people will 
stone us : for they be persuaded that John was a 
prophet. 

7 And they answered, That they could not tell 
whence it was. 

8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by 
what authority I do these things. 

9 IT c Then began he to speak to the people this c 1 Kings 
parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let \ 2 [ .£ 4 \ i( . 
it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country is. 
for a long time. 

10 And at the season he sent a servant to the hus- 
bandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the 
vineyard : but the husbandmen beat him, and sent 
him away empty. 

1 1 And again he sent another servant : and they 
beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent 
him away empty. 

12 And again he sent a third : and they wounded Heb.ii.ss. 
him also, and cast him out. 

13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall 
I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they 
will reverence him, when they sec him. 

14 d But when the husbandmen saw him, they 
reasoned among themselves, saying, This is die heir: 
come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 

15 e So they cast him out of Hie vineyard, and 
killed him. What therefore shall (he lord ol die 
vineyard do unto them ? 

16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, fti 
and shall give the vineyard to ethers. And when Jg 
thev heard it, they said, God forbid.

17 f And he beheld them, and said, What is this 
then that is written, The stone which the builders 
rejected, the same is become the head of the corner ? 

18 6 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be 
broken •, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind 
him to powder. 

1 9 IT And the chief priests and the scribes the same 
hour sought to lay hands on him ; and they feared 
the people : for they perceived that he had spoken this 
parable against them. 

20 h And they watched him, and sent forth spies, 
which should feign themselves just men, that they 
might take hold of his words, that so they might de- 
liver him unto the power and authority of the governor. 

21 'And they asked him, saying, Master, we know 
that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest 
thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God 
truly : 

22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cesar, 
or no ? 

23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto 
them, Why tempt ye me ? 

24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and super- 
scription hath it ? They answered and said, Cesar's. 

25 k And he said unto them, Render therefore unto 
Cesar the things which be Cesar's, and unto God the 
things which be God's. 

26 And they could not take hold of his words before 
the people : and they marvelled at his answer, and 
held their peace. 

27 IT ' Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, 
which deny that there is any resurrection ; and they 
asked him, 

28 m Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any 
man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without 
children, that his brother should take his wife, and 
raise up seed unto his brother. 

29 There were therefore seven brethren : and the 
first took a wife, and died without children. 

30 And the second took her to wife, and he died 
childless. 

31 And the third took her; and in like manner the 
seven also : and they left no children, and died. 

32 Last of all the woman died also. 

33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them 
is she ? for seven had her to wife. 

34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The chil- 
dren of this world marry, and are given in marriage : 

35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to 
obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, 
neither marry, nor are given in marriage : 

36 n Neither can they die any more : for they are 
equal unto the angels ; and are the children of God, 
being the children of the resurrection. 

37 ° Now that the dead are raised, even Moses 
shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the 
God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God 
of Jacob. 

38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the liv- 
ing : for all live unto him. 

39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, 
Master, thou hast well said. 

40 And after that they durst not ask him any ques- 
tion at all. 

41 IT p And he said unto them, How say they that 
Christ is David's son ? 

42 i And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, 
The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 



43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 

44 David therefore calleth him Lord ; how is he 
then his son ? 

45 IT Then, in the audience of all the people, he 
said unto his disciples, 

46 r Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in 
long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the 
highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms 
at feasts ; 

47 • Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew 
make long prayers: the same shall receive greater 
damnation. 

CHAP. XXI. 

1 Christ commendeth the poor widow. 5 The destruction of 
the temple and city foretold, fyc. 

a A ND he looked up, and saw the rich men casting 
J\. their gifts into the treasury. 

2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting 
in thither two mites. 

3 b And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, That 
this poor widow hath cast in more than they all : 

4 For all these have of their abundance cast in 
unto the offerings of God : but she of her penury hath 
cast in all the living that she had. 

5 H c And as some spake of the temple, how it was 
adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 

6 (l As for these things which ye behold, the days 
will come, in the which there shall not be left one 
stone upon another that shall not be thrown down. 

7 IT And they asked him, saying, Master, but when 
shall these things be ? and what sign will there be when 
these things shall come to pass ? 

8 e And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived : 
for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; 
and the time draweth near : go ye not therefore after 
them. 

9 f But when ye shall hear of wars and commo- 
tions, be not terrified : for these things must first come 
to pass ; but the end is not by and by. 

10 * Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise 
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom : 

1 1 h And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, 
and famines, and pestilences ; and fearful sights and 
great signs shall there be from heaven. 

1 2 ' But before all these, they shall lay their hands 
on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the 
synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before 
kings and rulers for my name's sake. 

1 3 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 

1 4 k Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to medi- 
tate before what ye shall answer : 

15 ' For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, 
which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay 
nor resist. 

16 m And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and 
brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends ; and some of you 
shall they cause to be put to death. 

1 7 n And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's 




sake, 
18 
19 
20 



° But there shall not a hair of your head perish. 

In your patience possess ye your souls. 

p And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed 
with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is 
nigh. 

21 Then let them which are in Judea flee to the 
mountains ; and let them which are in the midst of it 
depart out ; and let not them that are in the countries 
enter thereinto.

22 q For these be the days of vengeance, that all 
things which are written may be fulfilled. 

23 r But wo unto them that are with child, and to 
them that give suck in those days ! for there shall be 
great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 

24 8 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, 
and shall be led away captive into all nations : and 
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until 
the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 

25 IT * And there shall be signs in the sun, and in 
the moon, and in the stars ; and upon the earth dis- 
tress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the 
waves roaring ; 

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for look- 
ing after those tilings which are coming on the earth : 
for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 

27 u And then shall they see the Son of man coming 
in a cloud with power and great glory. 

28 x And when these things begin to come to pass, 
then look up, and lift up your heads ; for your redemp- 
tion draweth nigh. 

29 y And he spake to them a parable ; Behold, the 
fig-tree, and all the trees ; 

30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of 
your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to 
pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not 
pass away till all be fulfilled. 

33 z Heaven and earth shall pass away 5 but my 
words shall not pass away. 

34 IT a And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time 
your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunk- 
enness, and cares of this life, and so that day come 
upon you unawares. 

35 h For as a snare shall it come on all them that 
dwell on the face of the whole earth. 

36 c Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye 
may be accounted worthy to escape all these things 
that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son 
of man. 

37 TT d And in the day-time he was teaching in the 
temple : and at night he went out, and abode in the 
mount that is called the mount of Olives. 

38 And all the people came early in the morning to 
him in the temole, for to hear him.

1 77ie Jews conspire against Christ : 3 Judas covenanteth to 
betray him, fyc. 

"T^TOW the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, 
±!% which is called the Passover. 

2 b And the chief priests and scribes sought how 
they might kill him ; for they feared the people. 

3 IT c Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed 
lscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 

4 And he went his way, and communed with the 
chief priests and captains, how he might betray him 
unto them. 

5 d And they were glad, and covenanted to give 
him money. 

6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to be- 
tray hiin unto them in the absence of the multitude. 

7 H e Then came the day of unleavened bread, 
when the passover must be killed. 

8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and 
prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 

9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that 
we prepaie ? 



CHAP. XXII. The Lord's supper instituted, 

10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are 




entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, 
bearing a pitcher of water : follow him into the house 
where he entereth in. 

1 1 And ye shall say unto the good man of the house, 
The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guest- 
chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my 
disciples ? 

1 2 And he shall shew you a large upper room fur- 
nished : there make ready. 

13 And they went, and found as he had said unto 
them : and they made ready the passover. 

1 4 f And when the hour was come, he sat down, f Gen - 31 » 
and the twelve apostles with him. Mat 26,20. 

15 And he said unto them, With desire I have de- Marki4,i7. 
sired to eat this passover with you before I suffer : 

1 6 g For I say unto you, I will not any more eat s Mat- 26. 
thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. M ark 14,25. 

1 7 And he took the || cup, and gave thanks, and said, Acts 10,41.

26 ° But ye shall not be so : but he that is greatest

he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and 
buy one. 

37 z For I say unto you, That this that is written 
must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned 
among the transgressors : for the things concerning me 
have an end. 

38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. 
And he said unto them, It is enough. 

39 IT a And he came out, and w 7 ent, as he was 
wont, to the mount of Olives ; and his disciples also 
followed him. 

40 b And when he was at the place, he said unto 
them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 

41 c And he was withdrawn from them about a 
stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 

42 d Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this 
cup from me : nevertheless not my will, but thine, be 
done. 

43 e And there appeared an angel unto him from 
heaven, strengthening him. 

44 f And being in an agony, he prayed more earnest- 
ly : and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood 
falling down to the ground. 

45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come 
to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 

46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye ? rise and 
pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 

47 1 s And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, 
and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went 
before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou 
the Son of man with a kiss ? 

49 When they which were about him saw what 
would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite 
with the sword ? 

50 IT b And one of them smote the servant of the 
high priest, and cut off his right ear. 

51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus 
far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 

52 ' Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and cap- 
tains of the temple, and the elders, which were come 
to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords 
and staves ? 

53 When 1 was daily with you in the temple ye 
stretched forth no hands against me : but this is your 
hour, and the power of darkness. 

54 U k Then took they him, and led him, and brought 
him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed 
afar off. 

55 i And when they had kindled a fire in the midst 
of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat 
down among them. 

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the 
fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This 
man was also with him. 

57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know 
him not. 

58 And after a little while another saw him, and 
said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, 
I am not. 

59 And about the space of one hour after, another 
confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also 
was with him ; for he is a Galilean. 

60 m And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou 
sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the 
cock crew. 

61 D And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. 




ST. LUKE. He is accused before Pfcfafe. 

And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he 
had said unto Mm, Before the cock crow, thou shalt 
deny me thrice. 

62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. u^m,'™' 

63 IT ° And the men that held Jesus mocked him, Mat. 26, 67. 
and smote him. joh^iVii 

64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck & io, 2.' 
him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who §^ a \?' f 
is it that smote thee ? Mark id, i. 

65 And many other tilings blasphemously spake f^^'Jk 
they against him. Act^.k. 

66 IT p And as soon as it was day, the elders of the JL 1 ^! 2U ' 
people and the chief priests and the scribes came Marki4,6i. 
together, and led him into their council, saying, & 15 - 2. 

67 i Art thou the Christ ? tell us. And he said & h,, 1 ^ 33 ' 
unto them, If I tell you, you will not believe : r Ps.'no, l 

68 And if I also ask you, you will not answer me, f 3 an ' 7 ' °'

hand of the power of God.

2 Jesus is accused before Pilate, 7 and sent to Herod: 11 he 
is mocked, and sent back to Pilate : 25 he is delivered to 
be crucified, fyc. 

ND the whole multitude of them arose, and led 
him unto Pilate. 

2 b And they began to accuse him, saying, We 
found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding 
to give tribute to Cesar, saying that he himself is 
Christ a King. 

3 c And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King aXhJJ? 
of the Jews ? And he answered him, and said, Thou R°m. is, 7 
sayest it. ^ Mat 27 '

up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, begin- 13 -

6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether 
the man were a Galilean.

Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who him- 
self also was at Jerusalem at that time.

8 IT f And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceed- 
ing glad : for he was desirous to see him of a long 
season, because he had heard many things of him: and 
he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. 

9 Then he questioned with him in many words ; 
but he answered him nothing. 

1 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehe- 
mently accused him. 

11 g And Herod with his men of war set him at g 1 *®. 53, 1 
nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gor- 
geous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

made friends together : for before they were at enmity 
between themselves.

chief priests and the rulers and the people,

1 5 No, nor yet Herod : for I sent you to him 
lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 

16 k I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 

1 7 l (For of necessity he must release one unto them 
at the feast.) 

1 8 m And they cried out all at once, saying, Away 
with this man, and release unto us Barabbas : 

19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, 
and for murder, was cast into prison.) 

20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake 
again to them. 

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 

22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, 
what evil hath he done ? I have found no cause of 
death in him : I will therefore chastise him, and let 
him go. 

23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring 
that he might be crucified. And the voices of them 
and of the chief priests prevailed. 

24 n And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as 
they required. 

25 And he released unto them him that for sedition 
and murder was cast into prison, whom they had 
desired ; but he delivered Jesus to their will. 

26 If ° And as they led him away, they laid hold 
upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the coun- 
try, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear 
it after Jesus. 

27 And there followed him a great company of peo- 
ple, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented 
him. 

28 But Jesus turning unto them, said, Daughters of 
Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, 
and for your children. 

29 p For, behold, the days are coming, in the which 
they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs 
that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 

30 q Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, 
Fall on us ; and to the hills, Cover us. 

31 r For if they do these things in a green tree, 
what shall be done in the dry ? 

32 s And there were also two others, malefactors, 
led with him to be put to death. 

33 IT ' And when they were come to the place which 
is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the 
malefactors ; one on the right hand, and the other on 
the left. 

34 u Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them ; for they 
know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, 
and cast lots. 

35 H * And the people stood beholding. And the 
rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved 
others ; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen 
of God. 

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to 
him, and offering him vinegar, 

37 And saying, If thou be the King of the Jews, 
save thyself. 

38 y And a superscription also was written over 
him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, 
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 

39 IF And one of the malefactors which were hanged 
railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself 
and us. 

40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, 
Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same 
condemnation ? 

41 And we indeed justly ; for we receive the due 



reward of our deeds : but this man hath done nothing 
amiss. 

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me 
when thou comest into thy kingdom. 

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, 
To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 

44 1 z And it was about the sixth hour, and there 
was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 

45 And the sun was darkened, and the vail of the 
temple was rent in the midst. 

46 a And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, 
he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit ; 
and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 

47 TT b Now when the centurion saw what was done, 
he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous 
man. 

48 And all the people that came together to that 
sight, beholding the things which were done, smote 
their breasts, and returned. 

49 c And all his acquaintance, and the women that 
followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding 
these things. 

50 II d And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, 
a counsellor ; and he was a good man, and a just : 

51 e (The same had not consented to the counsel 
and deed of them :) he was of Arimathea, a city of the 
Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 

52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the 
body of Jesus. 

53 f And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, 
and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, 
wherein never man before was laid. 

54 E And that day was the preparation, and the 
sabbath drew on. 

55 IF h And the women also, which came with him 
from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, 
and how his body was laid. 

56 ' And they returned, and prepared spices and 
ointments; and rested the sabbath-day, according to 
the commandment. 

CHAP. XXIV. 

1 Christ's resurrection declared to the women : 9 they report it 

to others. 1 3 Christ himself appeareth : 5 1 his ascension. 
' 1V^^ upon the first daxj of the week, very early 
UtI in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, 
bringing the spices which they had prepared, and cer- 
tain others with them. 

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the 
sepulchre. 

3 b And they entered in. and found not the body of 
the Lord Jesus. 

4 e And it came to pass, as they were much per- 
plexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in 
shining garments : 

5 And, as they were afraid, and bowed flown their 
faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye 
the living among the dead / 

6 a He is not here, but is risen : remember how he 
spake unto you when he was yet in (jalilee, 

7 Saying, The Son of man must, be delivered into 
the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and (ho 
third day rise again.

appeareth to his disciples: ST. JOHN. 

1 1 h And their words seemed to them as idle tales, 
and they believed them not. 

12 IT 'Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepul- 
chre ; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes 
laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in him- 
self at that which was come to pass. 

13 IT k And, behold, two of them went that same 
day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jeru- 
salem about threescore furlongs. 

14 And they talked together of all these things 
which had happened. 

1 5 l And it came to pass, that, while they com- 
muned together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew 
near, and went with them. 

16 m But their eyes were holden that they should 
not know him. 

1 7 And he said unto them, What manner of com- 
munications are these that ye have one to another, as 
ye walk, and are sad ? 

18 n And the one of them, whose name was Cleo- 
pas, answering, said unto him, Art thou only a stranger 
in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which 
are come to pass there in these days ? 

19 ° And he said unto them, What things? And 
they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, 
which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before 
God and all the people : 

20 And how the chief priests and our rulers de- 
livered him to be condemned to death, and have cru- 
cified him. 

21 p But we trusted that it had been he which 
should have redeemed Israel : and besides all this, to- 
day is the third day since these things were done. 

22 i Yea, and certain women also of our company 
made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre : 

23 And when they found not his body, they came,

saying, That they had also seen a vision of angels, 
which said that he was alive. 

24 And certain of them which were with us went 
to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women 
had said ; but him they saw not. 

25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of 
heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken ! 

26 r Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, 
and to enter into his glory ? 

27 8 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, 
he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things 
concerning himself. 

28 And they drew nigh unto the village whither 
they went : and he made as though he would have 
gone further. 

29 * But they constrained him, saying, Abide with 
us ; for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. 
And he went in to tarry with them. 

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with 




He promiseth them the Holy Ghost. 

them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and 
gave to them. 

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew 
him ; and he vanished out of their sight. 

32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart 
burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, 
and while he opened to us the scriptures ? 

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned 
to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, 
and them that were with them, 

34 u Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath 
appeared to Simon. 

35 And they told what things were done in the way, i°c"r. is, 
and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. 5 - 7 - 

36 x And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the 20.°27. 
midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 

37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and sup- 
posed that they had seen a spirit. 

38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled ? 
and why do thoughts arise in your hearts ? 

39 y Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I my- 
self: handle me, and see ; for a spirit hath not flesh 
and bones, as ye see me have. 

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them 24* 6 
his hands and his feet. *• Ac,s ^ 

41 z And while they yet believed not for joy, and c p s . 22, 7 
wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat ? 

42 And they gave him a piece of a, broiled fish, and 
of a honey-comb. 

43 And he took it, and did eat before them. 

44 a And he said unto them, These are the words 
which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, 
that all tilings must be fulfilled which were written in 
the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the 
psalms, concerning me. 

45 b Then opened he their understanding, that they 
might understand the scriptures, 

46 c And said unto them, Thus it is written, and 
thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the 
dead the third day : 

47 a And that repentance and remission of sins 
should be preached in his name among all nations, Micah 4, 2. 
beginning at Jerusalem. MaiNf'!?! 

48 e And ye are witnesses of these things. chap. 4', 13'.

upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until Acts 1,8.22. 
ye be endued with power from on high. j^3rsfr 

50 If e And he led them out as far as to Bethany; Ezek. 36,26! 
and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. ft'iVt 26 ' 

51 h And it came to pass, while he blessed them, Acts 1,4. &. 
he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 2, 

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to I'^^i 
Jerusalem with great joy ; Acts 1, 12. 

53 And were continually in the temple, praising i 9 ' 
and blessing God. Amen. Acts 1,9.12.

testimony of Christ. 

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every 
man that conieth into the world. 

10 f He was in the world, and the world was made 
by him, and the world knew him not. 

1 1 E He came unto his own, and his own received 
him not. 

12 h But as many as received him. to them gave he 
power to become the sons of God, ewn to them that 
believe on his name : 

1 3 ' Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will 
of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 

1 4 IF k And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt 
among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the 
only-begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 

1 5 IT ' John bare witness of him, and cried, sajing, 
This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after 
me is preferred before me : for he was before me. 

1 6 m And of his fulness have all we received, and 
grace for grace. 

1 7 n For the law r was given by Moses, out grace 
and truth came by Jesus Christ. 

1 8 ° No man hath seen God at any time •, the only- 
begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the P'ather, he 
hath declared him. 

1 9 IF p And this is the record of John, when the Jews 
stmt priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, 
Who art thou ? 

20 q And he confessed, and denied not ; but con- 
fessed, I am not the Christ. 

21 'And they asked him, What then? Art thou 
Elias ? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet ? 
And he answered, No. 

22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou ? that 
we may give an answer to them that sent us. What 
sayest thou of thyself? 

2.3 s He said, I am the voice of one crying in the 
wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as 
s:;id the prophet Esaias. 

24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 

25 l And they asked him, and said unto him, Why 
baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor 
Eiias, neither that prophet? 

26 u John answered them, saying, I baptize with 
water : but there standeth one among you, whom ye 
know not : 

27 He it is, who, coming after me, is preferred 
before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to 
unloose. 

28 * These things were done in Bethabara, beyond 
Jordan, where John was baptizing. 

29 IT y The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto 
him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which 
taketh away the sin of the world ! 

30 7 - This is he of whom 1 said, After me romethaman 
w Inch is preferred before me : for he was before me. 

31 a And I knew him not : but that he should be 
made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come bapti- 
zing with water. 

32 b And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit 
descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode 
upon him. 

33 c And 1 knew him not : but he that sent me to 
baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon 
whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and 
remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with 
the Holy Ghost. 

34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son 
if God.

and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said 
unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, 
Master.) where dwellest thou ? 

39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They 
came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him 
that day : for it was about the tenth hour. 

40 e One of the two which heard John speak, and eMat4,ia 
followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 

41 f He first findeth his own brother Simon, and fisa. 6i, i 
saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, 

being interpreted, The Christ. 

42 g And he brought him to Jesus. And when 
Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of 16 ' 
Jona : thou shalt be called Cephas, which is, by 
interpretation, A stone. 

43 IT The day following Jesus would go forth into 
Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, 
Follow me. 

44 h Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city 
Andrew and Peter. & s 

45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him. j 19 ', 10 ,.. ,.

the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of ^ 
Joseph. 

46 ' And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any 
good thing come out of Nazareth ? Philip saith unto 
him, Come and see.

of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no

thou me ? Jesus answered and said unto hiin, Before 
that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig- 
tree, 1 saw thee. 

49 m Nathanael answered and saith unto him. Rab- 
bi, thou art the Son of God ; thou art the King of Israel. 

50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because 1 
said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest 
thou ? thou shalt see greater things than these. 

51 n And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, 1 say 
unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the 
angels of God ascending and descending upon the 
Son of man.

1 1 r This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana 
of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory ; and his 
disciples believed on him. 

12 1 After this he went down to Capernaum, he 
and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples : 
and they continued there not many days. 

1 3 IT e And the Jews' passover was at hand, and 
Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 

1 4 h And found in the temple those that sold oxen 
and sheep and doves, and the changers of money 
sitting : 

15 And when he had made a scourge of small 
cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the 
sheep, and the oxen ; and poured out the changers' 
money, and overthrew the tables ; 

1 6 ' And said unto them that sold doves, Take 
these things hence ; make not my Father's house a 
house of merchandise. 

1 7 k And his disciples remembered that it was writ- 
ten, The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up. 

1 8 If l Then answered the Jews and said unto him, 
What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou 
doest these things ? 

1 9 m Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy 
this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was 
this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in 
three days ? 

21 n But he spake of the temple of his body. 

29 ° When therefore he was risen from the dead, 
his disciples remembered that he had said this unto 
them ; and they believed the scripture, and the word 
which Jesus had said. 

23 IF Now when he was in Jerusalem at the pass- 
over, in the feast-c/ay, many believed in his name, 
when they saw the miracles which he did. 

24 p But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, 
because he knew all men ; 

25 <J And needed not that any should testify of 
man : for he knew what was in man. 

CHAP. III. 

1 Christ teacheth Nicodemus the necessity of regeneration. 

1 8 Condemnation for unbelief S/-C. 

a f BNHERE was a man of the Pharisees, named 
_fl_ Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews : 

2 b The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto 
him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come 
from God; for no man can do these miracles that 
thou doest, except God be with him. 

3 c Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, 
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, 
he cannot see the kingdom of God. 

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be 
born when he is old ? can he enter the second time 
into his mother's womb, and be born ? 

5 (1 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he 
cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 



6 e That which is born of the flesh is flesh ; and 
that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be 
born again. 

8 f The t wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou 
hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence 
it cometh, and whither it goeth : so is every one that 
is born of the Spirit. 

9 g Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How 
can these things be ? 

10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a 
master of Israel, and knowest not these things ? 

1 1 h Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that 
we do know, and testify that we have seen ; and ye 
receive not our witness. 

1 2 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe 
not, how shall ye believe if I tell you q/iheavenly things ? 

13 ' And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but 
he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man, 
which is in heaven. 

14 If k And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wil- 
derness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up ; 

1 5 l That whosoever believeth in him should not 
perish, but have eternal life. 

16 If m For God so loved the world, that he gave 
his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in 
him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

17° For God sent not his Son into the world to 
condemn the world ; but that the world through him 
might be saved. 

1 8 If ° He that believeth on him is not condemned : 
but he that believeth not is condemned already, be- 
cause he hath not believed in the name of the only- 
begotten Son of God. 

1 9 p And this is the condemnation, that light is 
come into the world, and men loved darkness rather 
than light, because their deeds were evil. 

20 i For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, 
neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be 
reproved : 

21 r But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, 
that his deeds may be made manifest that they are 
wrought in God. 

22 IF 8 After these things came Jesus and his dis- 
ciples into the land of Judea ; and there he tarried 
with them, and baptized. 

23 If l And John also was baptizing in Enon, near 
to Salim, because there was much water there ; and 
they came, and were baptized : 

24 u For John was not yet cast into prison. 

25 If Then there arose a question between some of 
John 's disciples and the Jew T s, about purifying. 

26 x And they came unto John, and said unto him, 
Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom 
thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and 
all men come to him. 

27 y John answered and said, A man can receive 
nothing, except it be given him from heaven. 

28 z Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I 
am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. 

29 a He that hath the bride is the bridegroom : but 
the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and 
heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bride- 
groom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled. 

30 He must increase, but I must decrease. 

31 b He that cometh from above is above all : he 
that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the 
earth : he that cometh from heaven is above all.

47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea 
into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that 
lie would come down, and heal his son : tor he was at 
the noint of death. ._ 

48 c Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs 
and wonders, ye will not believe. i 

49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down 
ere mv child die. ,. ,, 

50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way ; thy son hveth. 
And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken 
unto him, and he went his way. 

51 And as he was now going down, his servants 
met him, and told him, saying, Thy son hveth. 

52 Then inquired he of them the hour when he 
began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday 
at the seventh hour the fever left him. 

53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour 
in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son hveth : and 
himself believed, and his whole house. 

54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, 
when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.

1 Jesus, on the sabbath-day, cureth an impotent man at the. 
■pool of Bethesda : 10 the Jews persecute him for it: It he 
justifieth himself, and asserteth his power, ^-c. 

a A FTER this there was a feast of the Jews; and 
Jk. Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 

2 b Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-m«r^, 
a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, 
having five porches. , i 

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent lolk, ol 
blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the 

water. , . • , 

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into 
the pool, and troubled the water : whosoever then first, 
after the troubling of the water, stepped in, was made 
whole of whatsoever disease he had. 

5 And a certain man was there which had an in- 
firmity thirty and eight years. ■. . 

6 When Jesus saw him he, and knew that he had 
been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, 
Wilt thou be made whole ? 

7 The impotent man answered him, bir, 1 have no 
man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the 
pool : but while 1 am coming, another steppeth down 
before me. - , . , 

8 c Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and 

walk. ill i 

9 d And immediately the man was made whole, and 
took up his bed, and walked : and on the same day 
was the sabbath. . : 

10 IT e The Jews therefore said unto him that was 
cured, It is the sabbath-day ; it is not lawful for thee 
to carry thy bed. 

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, 
the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and 

l2*Then asked they him, What man is that which 
said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk ?

for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude 

being in that place. „,'-.. ., . , i

more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

Jesus which had made him whole.

coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice 
of the Son of God : and they that hear shall live.- 

26 For as the Falher hath life in himself, so hath 
he given to the Son to have life in himself; 

27 s And hath given him authority to execute judg- 
ment also, because he is the Son of man. 

28 l Marvel not at this : for the hour is coming, in 
the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 

29 And shall come forth ; they that have cone good, 
unto the resurrection of life ; and they that have done 
evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

the bread of life r 

Joseph, whose father and mother we know ? how is it 
then that he saith, I came down from heaven ? 

43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, 
Murmur not among yourselves. 

44 a No man can come to me, except the Father, 
which hath sent me, draw him : and I will raise him 
up at the last day. 

45 b It is written in the prophets, And they shall be 
all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath 
heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 

46 c Not that any man hath seen the Father, save 
he which is of God ; he hath seen the Father. 

47 d Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth 
on me hath everlasting life. 

48 e I am that bread of life. 

49 f Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, 
and are dead. 

50 This is the bread which cometh down from 
heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 

51 g I am the living bread which came down from 
heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live 
for ever : and the bread that I will give is my flesh, 
which I will give for the life of the world. 

52 h The Jews therefore strove among themselves, 
saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat ? 

53 ' Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I 
say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of 
man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 

54 k Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, 
hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is 
drink indeed. 

56 ' He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, 
dwelleth in me, and I in him. 

57 m As the living Father hath sent me, and I live 
by the Father ; so he that eateth me, even he shall 
live by me. 

58 n This is that bread which came down from hea- 
not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead :

59 These things said he in the synagogue, 
taught in Capernaum. 

60 IT "Many therefore of his disciples, when they had 
heard this, said, This is a hard saying ; who can hear it ? 

61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples 
murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend 
you? 

62 p What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend 
up where he was before ? 

63 q It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh pro- 
fiteth nothing : the words that I speak unto you, they 
are spirit, and they are life. 

64 r But there are some of you that believe not. 
For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were 
that believed not, and who should betray him. 

G5 s And he said, Therefore said I unto you, That 
nojatian can come unto me, except it were given unto 
him of my Father. 

66 IT From that time many of his disciples went 
back, and walked no more with him. 
^67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also 
gdaway ? 

68 l Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to 
whom shall we go ? thou hast the words of eternal life. 

69 u And we believe and are sure that thou art that 
Christ, the Son of the living God. 

70 x Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you 
twelve, and one of vou is a devil ? 



ST. JOHN. He teacheth in the lempk, 

7 1 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon : for 
he it was that should betray him, being one of the 
twelve. 

CHAP. VII. 

1 Jesus, exhorted by his unbelieving kinsmen to shew himself, 
10 goeth secretly to the feast : 14 he teacheth in the temple. 
40 Divers opinions concerning Christ. 45 The Pharisees 
are angry at their officers, &rc. 

FTER these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for a chap. 6, 1. 
he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews 
sought to kill him. 

2 b Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. 

3 c His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart 
hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples, also may 46 
see the works that thou doest. ^^ f.' j?^ 

4 d For there is no man that doeth any thing in A.cui,'i4. 
secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If i v a e f ^ i' - 
thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. 

5 e For neither did his brethren believe in him. 

6 f Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet 
come : but your time is always ready. 

7 s The world cannot hate you ; but me it hateth, g ch - 3, is. 
because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. ^ j^. 7, & 

8 h Go ye up unto this feast : I go not up yet unto h verse 3a 
this feast ; for my time is not yet full come. chap ' 8 ' m 

9 When he had said these words unto them, he 
abode still in Galilee. 

10 IF But when his brethren were gone up, then 
went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it 
were in secret. 

1 1 ' Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and ' <*• H > '°& 
said, Where is he ? 

12 k And there was much murmuring among the k Mat 21, 
people concerning him: for some said, He is a good L uke 7.. is. 
man : others said, Nay ; but. he deceiveth the people, chap. 6, u. 

13 ] Howbeit no man spake openly of him, for fear fof'isf" 
of the Jews. 

1 4 IT m Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went 
up into the temple, and taught. 

1 5 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth 
this man letters, having never learned ? 

16 n Jesus answered them, My doctrine is not mine, 
but his that sent me. 

17 ° If any man will do his will, he shall know of ^~ ,4 'J, 
the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak c ' n . 3", I 
of myself. 

1 8 p He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own 
glory : but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the 
same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 

1 9 q Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none 
of you keepeth the law 1 Why go ye about to kill 
me ? 

20 r The people answered and said, Thou hast a 
devil : who goeth about to kill thee ? 

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done 
one work, and ye all marvel. 

22 B Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision ; 
(not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers ;) and 
ye on the sabbath-day circumcise a man. 

23 If a man on the sabbath-day receive circum- 
cision, that the law of Moses should not be broken ; 
are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every 
whit whole on the sabbath-day ?

unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the 
very Christ ? 

27 * Howbeit we know this man whence he is : but 
when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. 

28 y Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, 
saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I 
am : and I am not come of myself, but he that sent 
me is true, whom ye know not. 

29 z But I know him : for I am from him, and he 
hath sent me. 

30 IT a Then they sought to take him : but no man 
laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. 

31 h And many of the people believed on him, and 
said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles 
than these which this man hath done ? 

32 IT c The Pharisees heard that the people mur- 
mured such things concerning him ; and the Pharisees 
and the chief priests sent officers to take him. 

33 d Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while 
am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. 

34 e Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me : and 
where I am, thither ye cannot come. 

35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither 
will he go, that we shall not find him ? will he go unto 
the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the 
Gentiles ? 

36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye 
shall seek me, and shall not find me : and where I am, 
thither ye cannot come ? 

37 IT f In the last day, that great day of the feast, 
Jesus stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst, let 
him come unto me, and drink. 

38 E He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath 
said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 

39 h (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they 
that believe on him should receive : for the Holy Ghost 
was not yet given ; because that Jesus was not yet 
glorified.) 

40 IT ' Many of the people therefore, when they heard 
this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 

41 k Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, 
Shall Christ come out of Galilee ? 

42 ' Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh 
of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, 
where David was ? 

43 m So there was a division among the people 
because, of him : 

44 D And some of them would have taken him ; 
but no man laid hands on him. 

45 IT Then came the officers to the chief priests and 
Pharisees ; and they said unto them, Why have ye not 
brought him ? 

4G The officers answered, Never man spake like 
this man. 

47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also 
deceived ? 

48 ° Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees 
believed on him ? 

49 But this people, who knoweth not the law, are 
cursed. 

50 p Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to 
Jesus by night, being one of them,) 

51 i Doth our law judge any man before it hear 
him, and know what he doeth ? 

52 r They answered and said unto him, Art thou 
also of Galilee ? Searcli, and look : for out of Galilee 
ariseth no prophet. 

53 And every man went unto his own house. 



CHAP. VIII. 

1 Christ delivereth a woman taken in adultery : 1 2 he preach- 
eth himself the light of the world, and justifieth his doctrine. 

JESUS went unto the mount of Olives. 
2 And early in the morning he came again into 
the temple, and all the people came unto him ; and 
he sat down, and taught them. 

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him 
a woman taken in adultery ; and when they had set 
her in the midst, 

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was 
taken in adultery, in the very act. 

5 a Now Moses in the law commanded us, that 
such should be stoned : but what sayest thou ? 

6 This they said tempting him, that they might 
have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and 
with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard 
them not. 

7 b So when they continued asking him, he lifted up 
himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin 
among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the 
ground. 

9 c And they which heard it, being convicted by 
their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning 
at the eldest even unto the last : and Jesus was left 
alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none 
but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are 
those thine accusers ? hath no man condemned thee ? 

1 1 d She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said 
unto her, Neither do I condemn thee : go, and sin no 
more. 

1 2 IT e Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, 
I am the light of the world : he that followeth me shall 
not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

1 3 f The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou 
bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. 

1 4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I 
bear record of myself, yet my record is true : for I 
know whence I came, and whither I go ; but ye 
cannot tell whence I come, and whither 1 go. 

1 5 g Ye judge after the flesh ; I judge no man. 

16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true : for I 
am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 

17 h It is also written in your law, That the testi- 
mony of two men is true. 

18 ' I am one that bear witness of myself, and the 
Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 

1 9 k Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father ? 
Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father : 
if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father 
also. 

20 ' These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he 
taught in the temple : and no man laid hands on him ; 
for his hour was not yet come. 

21 IT ra Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my 
way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sinsi 
whither I go, ye cannot come. 

22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? be- 
cause he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 

23 n And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath ; 
I am from above : ye are of this world ; I am nol <>l 
this world. . 

24 I said therefore unto you, That ye shall die m 
your sins : for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall 
die in your sins. 

25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou ? And

you : but he that sent me is true ; and I speak to the 
world those things which I have heard of him. 

27 They understood not that he spake to them of 
the Father. 

28 p Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have 
lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am 
he, and that I do nothing of myself ; but as my Father 
hath taught me, I speak these things. 

29 i And he that sent me is with me ; the Father 
hath not left me alone ; for I do always those things 
that please him. 

30 As he spake these words, many believed on him. 

31 If Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed 
on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my 
disciples indeed : 

32 r And ye shall know the truth, and the truth 
shall make you free. 

33 IT They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, 
and were never in bondage to any man : how sayest 
thou, Ye shall be made free ? 

34 s Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto 
you, Whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin. 

35 * And the servant abideth not in the house for 
ever : but the Son abideth ever. 

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye 
shall be free indeed. 

37 u I know that ye are Abraham's seed : but ye 
seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in 
you. 

38 x I speak that which I have seen with my 
Father ; and ye do that which ye have seen with your 
father. 

39 y They answered and said unto him, Abraham is 
our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abra- 
ham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 

40 z But now ye seek to kill me, a man mat hath 
told you the truth, which 1 have heard of God : this 
did not Abraham. 

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said 
they to him, We be not born of fornication ; we have 
one Father, even God. 

42 Jesus said unto them, H God were your Father, 
ye would love me : for I proceeded forth and came 
from God ; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 

43 Why do ye not understand my speech ? even 
because ye cannot hear my word. 

44 a Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts 
of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from 
the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because 
there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, 
he speaketh of his own : for he is a liar, and the father 
of it. 

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe 
me not. 

46 Which of you convinceth me of sin ? And if I 
say the truth, why do ye not believe me ? 

47 b He that is of God heareth God's words ; ye 
therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. 

48 IT c Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, 
Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast 
a devil ? 

49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil : but 1 
honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 

50 ,J And I seek not mine own glory: there is one 
that seeketh and judgeth. 



5 1 e Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep 
my saying, he shall never see death. 

52 f Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know 
that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the 
prophets ; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, 
he shall never taste of death. 

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, 
which is dead ? and the prophets are dead : whom 
makest thou thyself? 

54 g Jesus answered, If I honour myself, mine 
honour is nothing : it is my Father that honoureth me ; 
of whom ye say, That he is your God : 

55 h Yet ye have not known him : but I know him : 
and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a bar 
like unto you: but 1 know him, and keep his saying. 

56 » Vour father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: 
and he saw it, and was glad. 

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet 
fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham ? 

58 k Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, 1 say unto 
you, Before Abraham was, I am. 

59 1 Then took they up stones to cast at him : but 
Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going 
through the midst of them, and so passed by. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 A man that mas born blind is restored to sight : 13 he is 
brought to the Pharisees : 34 they excommunicate him. 
35 Christ receiveth him, fyc. 

ND as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which 
was blind from his birth. 

2 a And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, 
who did sin, this man, or his parents, that fee was 
born blind ? 

3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, 
nor his parents ; but that the works of God should be 
made manifest in him. 

4 b I must work the works of him that sent me, 
while it is day : the night cometh, when no man can 
work. 

5 c As long as I am in the world, I am the light of 
the world. 

6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, 
and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes 
of the blind man with the clay, 

7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of 
Siloam, (which is, by interpretation, Sent.) He went 
his way therefore, and washed, and came seeii:g. 

8 IT The neighbours therefore, and they which 
before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not 
this he that sat and begged ? 

9 Some said, This is he : others said, He is like 
him : but he said, I am he. 

10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine 
eyes opened ? 

1 1 He answered and said, A man that is called 
Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said 
unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash : and I 
went and washed, and 1 received sight. 

1 2 Then said they unto him, Where is he ? He 
said, 1 know not. 

1 3 IT They brought to the Pharisees him that afore- 
time was blind. 

14 And it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made 
the clay, and opened his eyes. 

15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how 
he had received his sight. He said unto them. He 
put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. 

16 d Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This

man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sab- 
bath-day. Others said, How can a man that is a 
sinner do such miracles ? And there was a division 
among them. 

17 They say unto the blind man again, What say- 
est thou of him, that he hath opened, thine eyes ? 
He said, He is a prophet. 

1 8 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, 
that he had been blind and received his sight, until 
they called the parents of him that had received his 
sight. 

19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, 
who ye say was born blind ? how then doth he now 
see? 

20 His parents answered them and said, We know 
that this is our son, and that he was born blind : 

21 But by what means he now seeth we know not; 
or who hath opened his eyes, we know not : he is of 
age ; ask him : he shall speak for himself. 

• th.12,42. 22 e These words spake his parents, because they 
feared the Jews : for the Jews had agreed already, 
that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he 
should be put out of the synagogue. 

23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age 
him. 

24 f Then again called they the man that 
blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise 
know that this man is a sinner. 

25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner 
or no, I know not : one thing I know, that, whereas I 
was blind, now I see. 

26 Then said they to him again, What did he to 
thee ? how opened he thine eyes ? 

27 He answered them, I have told you already, 
and ye did t not hear : wherefore would you hear it 
again ? will ye also be his disciples ? 

28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art liis 
disciple ; but we are Moses 1 disciples. 

29 s We know that God spake unto Moses : as for 
this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 

30 The man answered and said unto them, Why, 
herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from 
whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. 

31 b Now we know that God heareth not sinners : 
but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth 
h:3 will, him he heareth. 

32 ' Since the world began was it not heard that 
any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 

33 If this man were not of God, he could do 
nothing. 

34 k They answered and said unto him, Thou wast 
altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us ? And 
they cast him out. 

35 TT ' Jesus heard that they had cast him out : and 
when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou 
believe on the Son of God ? 

36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that 
I might believe on him ? 

37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen 
him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 

38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he wor- 
shipped him. 

39 U " And Jesus said, For judgment I am come 
into this world ; that they which see not might see, 
and that they which see might be made blind. 

40 D And some of the Pharisees which were with 
him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we 
blind also?

Christ the good shepheid 
41 ° Jesus said unto tnem, If ye were blind, ye 
should have no sin : but now ye say, We see ; there- 
fore your sin remaineth. 

CHAP. X. 

1 Christ is the door, and the good shepherd : 25 he proveth 
by his works that he is Christ, and asserteth his unity with 
the Father. 

VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth 
not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth 
up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shep- 
herd of the sheep. 

3 To him the porter openeth ; and the sheep hear 
his voice : and he calleth his own sheep by name, and 
leadeth them out. 

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he 
goeth before them, and the sheep follow him : for they 
know his voice. 

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee 
from him : for they know not the voice of strangers. 

6 This parable spake Jesus unto them : but they 
understood not what things they were which he spake 
unto them. 

7 IT Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 

8 a All that ever came before me are thieves and 
robbers : but the sheep did not hear them. 

9 b I am the door : by me if any man enter in, he 
shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, 
and to destroy : I am come that they might have life, 
and that they might have it more abundantly. 

11 c I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd sJ^ffMJ- 
giveth his life for the sheep. 

12 But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, 
whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, 
and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf 
catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 

13 The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and 
careth not for the sheep. 

14 d I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, 
and am known of mine. 

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the 
Father : and I lay down my life for the sheep. 

16 e And other sheep I have, which are not of this 
fold : them also I must bring, and they shall hear my ^ 
voice ; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 

17 r Therefore doth my Father love me, because I 
lay down my life that I might take it again. 

1 8 * No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down 
of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have 
power to take it again. This commandment have I 
received of my Father. 

1 9 T h There was a division therefore again among 
the Jews for these sayings. 

20 l And many of them said, He hath a devil, and 
is mad ; why hear ye him ? 

21 Others said, These are not the words of him 
that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the 
blind ? 

22 I And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedi- 
cation, and it was winter. 

23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's 
porch. 

24 k Then came the Jews round about him, and 
said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? 
It thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

lieved not : the works that I do in my Father's name, 
they bear witness of me. 

26 m But ye believe not, because ye are not of my 
sheep, as I said unto you. 

27 n My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, 
and they follow me : 

28 ° And I give unto them eternal life ; and they 
shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them 
out of my hand. 

29 p My Father, which gave them me, is greater 
than all ; and no man is able to pluck them out of my 
Father's hand. 

30 q I and my Father are one. 

3 1 IT r Then the Jews took up stones again to stone 
him. 

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have 
I shewed you from my Father ; for which of those 
works do ye stone me ? 

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good 
work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and 
because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 

34 s Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your 
law, I said, Ye are gods 1 

35 * If he called them gods, unto whom the word 
of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken ; 

36 u Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sancti- 
fied, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest ; 
because I said, I am the Son of God ? 

37 If 1 do not the works of my Father, believe me 
not. 

38 * But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe 
the works ; that ye may know, and believe, that the 
Father is in me, and I in him. 

39 f Therefore they sought again to take him : but 
he escaped out. of their hand ; 

40 y And went away again beyond Jordan, into the 
place where John at first baptized ; and there he abode. 

4 1 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did 
no miracle : but all things that John spake of this man 
were true. 

42 And many believed on him there. 

CHAP. XI. 

1 The sickness and death of Lazarus ; Jesus raiseih him to 
life, 47 The Pharisees hold a council against Christ ; 
Caiaphas prophesieth, 

NOW a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of 
Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 

2 a (It was Ma* Mary which anointed the Lord with 
ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose 
brother Lazarus was sick.) 

3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, 
behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 

4 b When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness 
is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the 
Son of God might be glorified thereby. 

5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her "sister, and 
Lazarus. 

6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he 
abode two days still in the same place where he was. 

7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us 
go into Judea again. 

8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of 
late sought to stone thee ; and goest thou thither again ? 

9 c Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in 
the day ? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth 
not, because he seeth the light of this world. 

1 d But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, 
because there is no light in him. 



1 1 These things said hp : and after that he saith unto 
them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth ; but I go that I 
may awake him out of sleep. 

1 2 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he 
shall do well. 

1 3 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death ; but they 
thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 

14 e Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is 
dead: 

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not 
there, to the intent ye may believe ; nevertheless let 
us go unto him. 

1 6 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, 
unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may 
die with him. 

1 7 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had 
lain in the grave four days already. 

18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about 
fifteen furlongs off. 

19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and 
Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 

20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus 
was coming, went and met him : but Mary sat still in 
the house. 

21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou 
hadst been here, my brother had not died. 

22 r But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou 
wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 

23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 

24 E Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall 
rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 

25 h Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and 
the life : he that believeth in me, though he were dead, 
yet shall he live : 

26 ' And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall 
never die. Believest thou this ? 

27 k She saith unto him, Yea, Lord : I believe that 
thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should 
come into the world. 

28 And when she had so said, she went her way, 
and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The 
Master is come, and calleth for thee. 

29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, 
and came unto him. 

30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but 
was in that, place where Martha met him. 

31 ' The Jews then which were with her in the 
house, and comforted her, when they saw Maiy that 
she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, 
She goeth unto the grave to weep there. 

32 m Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, 
and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto 
him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had 
not died. 

33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the 
Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned 
in the spirit, and was troubled ; 

34 And said, Where have ye laid him ? They say 
unto him, Lord, come and see. 

35 Jesus wept. 

36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him ! 

37 n And some of them said, Could not this man, 
which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that 
even this man should not have died ? 

38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh 
to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 

39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, 
ihe sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord,

Caiaphas prophesielfu CHAP 

by this time he stinketh : for he hath been dead four 
days. 

40 ° Jesus saith unto her, Said 1 not unto thee, that, 
if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory 
of God ? 

41 Then they took away the stone from the place 
where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, 
and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 

42 And I knew that thou hcarest me always : but 
because of the people which stand by I said it, that 
they may believe that thou hast sent me. 

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a 
loud voice, Lazarus, come forth ! 

44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand 
and foot with grave-clothes ; and his face was bound 
about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose 
him, and let him go. 

45 p Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, 
and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on 
him. 

46 But some of them went their ways to the Pliari- 
sees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 

47 IT q Then gathered the chief priests and the Phari- 
sees a council, and said, What do we ? for this man 
doeth many miracles. 

48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on 
him ; and the Romans shall come, and take away both 
our place and nation. 

49 And one of them named Caiaphas, being the 
high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know 
nothing at all, 

50 r Nor consider that it is expedient for us that one 
man should die for the people, and that the whole 
nation perish not. 

51 And this spake he not of himself: but, being 
high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should 
die for that nation ; 

52 8 And not for that nation only, but that also he 
should gather together in one the children of God that 
were scattered abroad. 

53 Then from that day forth they took counsel 
together for to put him to death. 

54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among 
the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the 
wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there 
continued with his disciples. 

55 IF ' And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand : 
and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem 
before the passover, to purify themselves. 

56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among 
themselves as they stood in the temple, What think 
ye, that he will not come to the feast ? 

57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees 
had given a commandment, that if any man knew 
where he were, he should shew it, that they might 
take him.

* FTHHEN Jesus, six days before the passover came 
A to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had 
been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 

2 b There they made him a supper ; and Martha 
served : but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the 
table with him. 

3 e Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spike- 
nard, veiy costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and 



XII. Christ rideth into Jeru 

wiped his feet with her hair : and the house was filled 
with the odour of the ointment. 

4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, 
Simon's son, which should betray him, 

5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hun- 
dred pence, and given to the poor ? 

6 d This he said, not that he cared for the poor ; but 
because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare 
what was put therein. 

7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone : against the day 
of my burying hath she kept this. 

8 e For the poor always ye have with you ; but me 
ye have not always. 

9 IT Much people of the Jews therefore knew that 
he was there : and they came not for Jesus' sake only, 
but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had 
raised from the dead. 

10 But the chief priests consulted that they might 
put Lazarus also to death ; 

1 1 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews 
went away and believed on Jesus. 

12 If r On the next day much people that were 
come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was 
coming to Jerusalem, 

1 3 s Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth 
to meet him, and cried, Hosanna ! Blessed is the 
King of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord! 

14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat 
thereon ; as it is written, 

1 5 h Fear not, daughter of Sion : behold, thy King 
cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. 

16 These things understood not hi* disciples at the 
first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered 
they that these things were written of him, and that 
they had done these things unto him. 

1 7 The people therefore that was with him when 
he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him 
from the dead, bare record. 

1 8 For this cause the people also met him, for that 
they heard that he had done this miracle. 

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, 
Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world 
is gone after him. 

20 If ' And there were certain Greeks among them 
that came up to worship at the feast : 

21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was 
of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, 
we would see Jeslis. 

22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew : and again 
Andrew and Philip told Jesus. 

23 I And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour 
is come that the Son of man should be glorified. 

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of 
wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone ; 
but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 

25 k He that loveth his life shall lose it; and Ik; 
that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life 
eternal. 

26 ' If any man serve me, let him follow me ; and 
where I am, there shall also my servant be : if any 
man serve me, him will my Father honour. 

27 m Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I 
say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this 
cause came I unto this hour. 

28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came their a 
voice from heaven, saying, 1 have both glorified it, and 
will glorify it again.

said that it thundered : others said, An angel spake to 
him. 

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not 
because of me, but for your sakes. 

31 n Now is the judgment of this world : now shall 
the prince of this world be cast out. 

32 ° And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will 
draw all men unto me. 

33 This he said, signifying what death he should die. 

34 p The people answered him, We have heard out 
of the law that Christ abideth for ever : and how say- 
est thou, The Son of man must be lifted up ? who is 
this Son of man 1 

35 i Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while 
is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, 
lest darkness come upon you : for he that walketh in 
darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 

36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that 
ye may bo the children of light. These things spake 
Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. 

37 IT But though he had done so many miracles 
before them, yet they believed not on him : 

38 r That the saying of Esaias the prophet might 
be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed 
our report ? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord 
been revealed ? 

39 Therefore they could not believe, because that 
Esaias said again, 

40 " He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their 
heart , that they should not see with their eyes, nor 
understand with their heart, and be converted, and I 
should heal them. 

4 1 * These things said Esaias, when he saw his 
glory, and spake of him. 

42 1 u Nevertheless among the chief rulers also 
many believed on him ; but because of the Pharisees 
they did not confess him, lest they should be put out 
of the synagogue : 

43 x For they loved the praise of men more than 
the praise of God. 

44 IT y Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on 
me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 

45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. 

46 z I am come a light into the world, that whoso- 
ever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 

47 a And if any man hear my words, and believe 
not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the 
world, but to save the world. 

48 b He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my 
words, hath one that judgeth him : the word that I 
have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 

49 c For I have not spoken of myself: but the 
Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, 
what I should say, and what I should speak. 

50 And I know that his commandment is life ever- 
lasting : whatsoever 1 speak therefore, even as the 
Father said unto me, so I speak.

heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to 



3 c Jesus knowing that the Father had given all 
things into his hands, and that he was come from God, 
and went to God ; 

4 d He riseth from supper, and laid aside his gar- 
ments ; and took a towel, and girded himself; 

5 After that, he poureth water into a bason, and 
began to wash his disciples' feet, and to wipe them 
with the towel wherewith he was girded. 

6 e Then cometh he to Simon Peter : and Peter 
saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet ? 

7 f Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do 
thou knowest not now ; but thou shalt know hereafter. 

8 E Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash 
my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, 
thou hast no part with me. 

9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet 
only, but also my hands and my head. 

10 h Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth 
not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit : and 
ye are clean, but not all. 

1 1 ' For he knew who should betray him : there- 
fore said he, Ye are not all clean. 

1 2 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken 
his garments, and was set down again, he said unto 
them, Know ye what I have done to you ? 

13 k Ye call me Master, and Lord: and ye say 
well ; for so I am. 

14 1 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed 
your feet ; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 

1 5 For I have given you an example, that ye should 
do as I have done to you. 

16 m Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is 
not greater than his lord ; neither he that is sent 
greater than he that sent him. 

17 n If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do 
them. 

1 8 IT ° I speak not of you all ; I know whom I have 
chosen : but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that 
eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 

1 9 Now I tell you before it come, that when it is 
come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 

20 p Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiv- 
eth whomsoever I send, receiveth me ; and he. that 
receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. 

21 i When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in 
spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, 1 say unto 
you, That one of you shall betray me. 

22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubt- 
ing of whom he spake. 

23 r Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one 
of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 

24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he 
should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 

25 He then, lying on Jesus' breast, saith unto him, 
Lord, who is it ? 

26 Jesus !| answered, He it is to whom I shall give 
a sop when 1 have dipped it. And when he had dipped 
the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 

27 s And after the sop, Satan entered into him. 
Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 

28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent 
he spake this unto him. 

29 * For some of them thought, because Judas had 
the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things 
that we have need of against the feast ; or, that he 
should give something to the poor. 

30 He then, having received the sop, went imme- 
diately out : and it was night.

oomforteth his disciples. CHAP 

31 IF u Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus 
said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is 
glorified in him. 

32 x If God be glorified in him, God shall also glo- 
rify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. 

33 y Little children, yet a little while I am with 
you. Ye shall seek me : and, as I said unto the Jews, 
Whither I go ye cannot come ; so now I say to you. 

34 z A new commandment I give unto you, That 
ye love one another : as I have loved you, that ye also 
love one another. 

35 a By this shall all men know that ye are my dis- 
ciples, if ye have love one to another. 

36 IT b Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither 
goest thou ? Jesus answered him, Whither I go thou 
canst not follow me now ; but thou shalt follow me 
afterwards. 

37 c Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot 1 fol- 
low thee now ? I will lay down my life for thy sake. 

38 d Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy 
life for my sake ? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The 
cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice. 

CHAP. XIV. 

1 Christ comforteth his disciples : 5 professeth himself the 
way, the truth, and the life, 9 and that he is one with the 
Father : 27 he leaveth his peace with them. 

a 1 ' ET not your heart be troubled : ye believe in 
.Li God, believe also in me. 

2 b In my Father's house are many mansions : if 
it were not so, I would have told y^u. 1 go to prepare 
a place for you. 

3 c And if 1 go and prepare a place for you, I will 
come again, and receive you unto myself; that where 
I am, there ye may be also. 

4 And whither 1 go ye know, and the way ye know. 

5 IT Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not 
whither thou goest ; and how can we know the way ? 

6 d Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the 
trulh, and the life : no man cometti unto the Father 
but by me. 

7 e If ye had known me, ye should have known 
my Father also : and from henceforth ye know him, 
and have seen him. 

8 IF Philip saith unto him, Lord, Shew us the 
Father, and it surnceth us. 

9 f Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time 
with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip ? 
He that hath seen me hath seen the Father ; and 
how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father ? 

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and 
the Father in me ? The words that I speak unto you 
I speak not of myself : but the Father, that dwelleth 
in me, he doeth the works. 

1 1 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the 
Father in me : or else believe me for the very works' 
sake. 

1 2 s Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that be- 
lieveth on me, the works that 1 do shall he do also ; 
and greater tvorks than these shall he do ; because I 
go unto my Father. 

1 3 b And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that 
will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will 
do it. 

15 IF ' If ye love me, keep my commandments. 

16 k And I will pray the Father, and he" shall give 
you another Comforter, that he may abide with you 
for ever ;

present with you. 

26 s But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, 
whom the Father will send in my name, he shall 
teach you all things, and bring all things to your 
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

you : not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let

29 x And now I have told you before it come to 
pass ; that when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 

30 y Hereafter I will not talk much with you : for the 
prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved 
you : continue ye in my love. 

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide 
in my love ; even as I have kept my Father's com- 
mandments, and abide in his love. 

1 1 ' These things have I spoken unto you, that my 
joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be 
full. 

1 2 1 k This is my commandment, That ye love 
one another, as I have loved you. 

13 1 Greater love hath no man than this, that a 
man lay down his life for his friends. 

14 m ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever 1 
command you. 

15 D Henceforth I call you not servants; for the 
servant knoweth not what his lord doeth : but J have 
called you friends ; for all things that I have heard of 
my Father I have made known unto you. 

16 ° Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen 
you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring 
forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain ; that 
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, 
he may give it you. 

17 p These things I command you, that ye love 
one another. 

18 IT q If the world hate you, ye know that it hated 
me before it hated you. 

19 r If ye were of the world, the world would 
love his own : but because ye are not of the world, 
but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the 
world hateth you. 

20 s Remember the word that I said unto you, The 
servant is not greater than his lord. If they have 
persecuted me, they will also persecute you : if they 
have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 

21 * But all these things will they do unto you for my 
name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 

22 u If I had not come and spoken unto them, they 
had not had sin : but now they have no cloak for 
their sin. 

23 x He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 

24 y If I had not done among them the works 
which none other man did, they had not had sin : but 
now have they both seen and hated both me and my 
Father. 

25 '■ But this cometh to pass, that the word might 
be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated 
me without a cause. 

26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will 
send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of 
truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall 
testify of rne : 

27 b And ye also shall bear witness, because ye 
have been with me from the beginning. 

CHAP. XVI. 

1 C'rist warneth his disciples of their sufferings : 29 they 
profess their faith in him. 

THESE things have I spoken unto you, that ye 
should not be offended. 

2 b They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, 
the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think 
that he doeth God service. 

3 c And these things will they do unto you, because 
they have not known the Father, Yior me. 

4 d But these things have I told you, that, when 
the time shall come, ye may remember that I told 
you of them. And these things I said not unto vou 
at the beginning, because I was with you. 



Comforts against tribulation. 



5 e But now I go my way to him that sent me ; 
and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou ? 

6 f But because 1 have said these things unto you, 
sorrow hath filled your heart. 

7 e Nevertheless I tell you the truth ; It is expedi- 
ent for you that I go away : for if I go not away, the 
Comforter will not come unto you ; but if I depart, 1 
will send him unto you. 

8 h And when he is come, he will reprove the world 
of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment : 

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me ; 

10 ' Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 
and ye see me no more ; 

1 1 k Of judgment, because the prince of this world 
is judged. 

12 * 1 have yet many things*to say unto you, but 
ye cannot bear them now. 

1 3 m Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 
he will guide you into all truth : for he shall not speak 
of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall 
he speak : and he will shew you things to come. 

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of 
mine, and shall shew it unto you. 

1 5 n All things that the Father hath are mine : 
therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall 
shew it unto you. 

16 "A little while, and ye shall not see me : and 
again, A little while, and ye shall see me ; because I 
go to the Father. 

1 7 Then said some of his disciples among them- 
selves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little 
while, and ye shall not see me : and again, A little 
while, and ye shall see me : and, Because I go to the 
Father? 

1 8 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, 
A little while ? We cannot tell what he saith. 

1 9 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask 
hiin, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among your- 
selves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not 
see me : and again, A little while, and ye shall see me? 

20 p Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall 
weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice : and ye 
shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned 
into joy. 

21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, 
because her hour is come : but as soOn as she is de- 
livered of the child, she remembereth no more the 
anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 

22 i And ye now therefore have sorrow : but I will 
see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your 
joy no man taketh from you. 

23 r And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, 
verily, 1 say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the 
Father in my name, he will give it you. 

24 3 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name : 
ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy m;iy be full. 

25 l These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs : 
but the time cometh when I shall no more speak unto 
you in proverbs, but 1 shall shew you plainly of the 
Father. 

26 u At that day ye shall ask in my name : and I 
say not unto you that I will pray the Father for you ; 

27 x For the Father himself loveth you, because ye 
have loved me, and have believed that I came out 
from God. 

23 y 1 came forth from the Father, and am come 
into the world : again, i leave the world, and go to the 
Father.

and needest not that any man should ask thee : by this 
we believe that thou earnest forth from God. 

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? 

32 a Behold; the hour cometh, yea, is now come, 
that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and 
shall leave me alone : and yet I am not alone, because 
the Father is with me.

1 Christ prayeth to his Father to glorify him, 6 to preserve 
his apostles in unity of faith, fyc. 

" rilHESE words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes 
JL to heaven, and said, Father, the hcur is come : 
glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee : 

2 b As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that 
he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast 
given him. 

3 c And this is life eternal, that they might know 
thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou 
hast sent. 

4 a I have glorified thee on the earth : I have finished 
the work which thou gavest me to do. 

5 e And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine 
own self, with the glory which I had with thee before 
the world was. 

6 IT f 1 have manifested thy name unto the men 
which thou gavest me out of the world : thine they 
were, and thou gavest them me ; and they have kept 
thy word. 

7 Now they have known that all things, whatsoever 
thou hast given me, are of thee : 

8 6 For I have given unto them the words which 
thou gavest me ; and they have received them, and 
have known surely that I came out from thee, and they 
have believed that thou didst send me. 

9 I pray for them : I pray not for the world, but 
for them which thou hast given me ; for they are thine. 

10 h And all mine are thine, and thine are mine ; 
and I am glorified in them. 

1 1 ' And now I am no more in the world, but these 
are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, 
keep through thine own name those whom thou hast 
given me, that they may be one, as we are. 

12 k While I was with them in the world, I kept 
them in thy name : those that thou gavest me 1 have 
kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition ; 
that the scripture might be fulfilled. 

13 ' And now come I to thee; and these things I 
speak in the world, that they might have my joy 
fulfilled in themselves. 

14 m I have given them thy word; and the world 
hath hated them, because they are not of the world, 
even as I am not of the world. 

1 5 n 1 pray not that thou shouldest take them out 
of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from 
the evil. 

1 6 ° They are not of the world, even as I am not 
of the world. 

1 7 p Sanctify them through thy truth : thy word is 
truth.

have I also sent them into the world.

3 c Judas then, having received a band of men, and c Mat. 20

thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 

4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should 
come upon him, went forth, and said unto them,

5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus 
saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which

Christ arraigned before Pilate, 

16 But Peter stood at the door without, 
went out that other disciple, which was known unto 
the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, 
and brought in Peter. 

1 7 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto 
Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples ? 
He saith, I am not. 

18 k And the servants and officers stood there, who 
had made a fire of coals ; for it was cold : and they 
warmed themselves : and Peter stood with them, and 
warmed himself. 

1 9 IT The high priest then asked Jesus of his disci- 
ples, and of his doctrine. 

20 ' Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world : 
I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, 
whither the Jews always resort ; and in secret have I 
said nothing. 

2 1 m Why askest thou me ? ask them which heard 
me, what 1 have said unto them : behold, they know 
what I said. 

22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers 
which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, 
saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? 

23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear 
witness of the evil : but if well, why smitest thou me ? 

24 n Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas 
the high priest. 

25 ° And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. 
They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one 
of his disciples ? He denied it, and said, I am not. 

26 One of the servants of the high priest, being 
his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not 1 
see thee in the garden with him ? 

27 Peter then denied again : and immediately the 
cock crew. 

28 IT p Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the 
hall of judgment : and it was early : and they them- 
selves went not into the judgment-hall, lest they should 
be defiled, but that they might eat the passover. 

29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What 
accusation bring you against this man ? 

30 They answered and said unto him, If he were 
not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up 
unto thee. 

31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and 
judge him according to your law. The Jews there- 
fore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any 
man to death : 

32 ■> That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, 
which he spake, signifying what death he should die. 

33 r Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall 
again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou 
the King of the Jews ? 

34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of 
thyself, or did others tell it thee of me ? 

35 Pilate answered, Am J a Jew? Thine own 
nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto 
me : What hast thou done ? 

36 " Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this 
world : If my kingdom were of this world, then would 
my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the 
Jews : but now is my kingdom not from hence. 

37 * Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king 
then ? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. 
To this end was J born, and for this cause came 1 into 
the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. 
Every one that is of the truth heaieth my voice.

unto Jesus, Whence art thou ? But Jesus gave him no ^uaaV

10 &Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not g^. 18,39.

crucify thee, and have power to release thee ? 

1 1 h Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power h Luke 22, 
at all against me, except it were given thee from 53 - 
above : therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath 

the greater sin. 

12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release 
him : but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this 
man go, thou art not Cesar's friend: whosoever maketh 
himself a king speaketh against Cesar. 

13 IT When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he 
brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment- 
seat, in a place that is called The Pavement, but in 
the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 

1 4 And it was the preparation of the passover, and 
about the sixth hour : and he saith unto the Jews, 
Behold your King ! 

15 ' But they cried out, Away with him, away with i verse 6. 
him; crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I 
crucify your King ? The chief priests answered, We

place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city : 
and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and I ,atin. 

21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, 
Write not, The King of the Jews ; but that he said, 
I am King of the Jews. 

22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have 
written. 

23 IT m Then the soldiers, when they had crucified 
Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every 
soldier a part ; and also his coat : now the coat was 
without seam, woven from the top throughout : 

24 n They said therefore among themselves, Let us 
not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be : that 
the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They 
parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture 
they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers 
did. 

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, 
and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, 
and Mary Magdalene.

27 ''Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! 
And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own 
home. 

28 IT q After this, Jesus knowing that all things were 
now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, 
saith, I thirst. 

29 r Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar : 
and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon 
hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 

30 ■ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, 
he said, It is finished : and he bowed his head, and 
gave up the ghost. 

31 IT ' The Jews therefore, because it was the 
preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon 
the cross on the sabbath-day, (for that sabbath-day 
was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might 
be broken, and that they might be taken away. 

32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of 
the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 

33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he 
was dead already, they brake not his legs : 

34 u But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his 
side, and forthwith came thereout blood and water. 

35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record 
is true ; and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye 
might believe. 

36 x For these things were done, that the scripture 
should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 

37 y And again another scripture saith, They shall 
look on him whom they pierced. 

38 IT '■ And after this, Joseph of Ariniathca, (being 
a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) 
besought Pilate that he might take away the body of 
Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, 
and took the body of Jesus. 

39 a And there came also Nicodemus, (which at 
the first came to Jesus by night,) and brought a mixture 
of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. 

40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound 
it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of 
the Jews is to bury. 

41 b Now in the place where he was crucified there 
was a garden ; and in the garden a new sepulchre, 
wherein was never man yet laid. 

42 There laid they Jesus therefore, because of the

1 Mary corneth to the sepulchre : 1 1 she seeth two angels ; 
Jesus himself appeareth to her. 24 The incredulity of 
Thomas. 

HE first day of the week cometh Mary Magda- 
lene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepul- 
chre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 

2 b Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, bch. 13,23 
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith &21 ' 7 ' "**' 
unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the 
sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 

3 c Peter therefore went forth, and that other disci- 
ple, and came to the sepulchre. 

4 So they ran both together : and the other disciple 
did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 

5 And he, stooping down, and looking in, saw the 
linen clothes lying ; yet went he not in. 

6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and 
went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie ; 

7 d And the napkin that was about his head, not dch. n.44. 
lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in 

a place by itself. 

8 Then went in also that other disciple which came 
first to the sepulchre, and he saw and believed. 

9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he 
must rise again from the dead. 

10 Then the disciples went away again unto their 
own home. 

1 1 IF e But Mary || stood without at the sepulchre 
weeping : and as she wept, she stooped down and 
looked into the sepulchre, 

12 And seeth two angels in white, sitting, the one 
at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body 
of Jesus had lain. 

13 ' And they say unto her, Woman, why weepesl 
thou ? She saith unto them, Because they have taken 
away my Lord, and 1 knownot where they have laid him. 

1 4 6 And when she had thus said, she turned herself gMat 2a, 9 
back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it L^ke^.iB. 
was Jesus. 

1 5 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou ? 
whom seekest thou ? She supposing him to be the gar- 
dener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him 
hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will 
take him away. 

1 6 J esus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, 
and saith unto him, Kabboni ; which is to say, Master. 

17 h Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am 
not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, 
and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father and 30111 
Fathei, and to my God and your God. 

18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples 
that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken 
these things unto her. 

19 H ' Then the same day at evening, being the fust 
day of the week, when the doors were shut where the 
disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came 
Jesus, and stood in the midst, and saitli unto them, 
Peace be unto you. 

20 k And when he had so said, he shewed unto them 
his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad 
when they saw the Lord.

you : as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

23 n Whose soever sins ye remit, ihey are remitted 
unto them : and whose soever sms ye retain, they are 
retained. 

24 IF But Thomas, one of the twelve, called 
Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 

25 ° The other disciples therefore said unto him, 
We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, 
Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, 
and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust 
my hand into his side, 1 will not believe. 

26 IF p And after eight days again his disciples were 
within, and Thomas with them. Then came Jesus, 
the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, 
Peace be unto you. 

27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy fin- 
ger, and behold my hands ; and reach hither thy hand, 
and thrust it into my side : and be not faithless, but 
believing. 

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My 
Lord and my God. 

29 q Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou 
hast seen me, thou hast believed : blessed are they 
that have not seen, and yet have believed. 

30 IT r And many other signs truly did Jesus in the 
presence of his disciples, which are not written in this 
book : 

31 s But these are written, that ye might believe 
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that 
believing ye might have life through his name. 

CHAP. XXI. 

1 Christ appeareth to his disciples: 15 his charge to Peter, 
and foretelleth his death. 
FTER these things Jesus shewed himself again 
to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias : and on 
this wise shewed he himself. 

2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas 
called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, 
and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 

3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. 
They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went 
forth, and entered into a ship immediately ; and that 
night they caught nothing. 

4 b But when the morning was now come, Jesus 
stood on the shore : but the disciples knew not that it 
was Jesus. 

5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye 
any meat ? They answered him, No. 

6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right 
side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast there- 
fore, and now they were not able to draw it for the 
multitude of fishes. 

7 c Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith 
unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter 
heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat 
unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself 
into the sea. 

8 And the other disciples came in a little ship, (for 



they were not far from land, but as it were two hun- 
dred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. 

9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw 
a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 

10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which 
ye have now caught. 

1 1 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land 
full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three : and 
for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. 

12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And 
none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou ? 
knowing that it was the Lord. 

1 3 d Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and 
giveth them, and fish likewise. 

1 4 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed him- 
self to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. 

1 5 IT So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon 
Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than 
these ? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord ; thou knowest 
that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 

16 e He saith to him again the second time, Simon, 
son of Jonas, lovest thou me ? He saith unto him, 
Yea, Lord ; thou knowest that 1 love thee. He saith 
unto him, P'eed my sheep. 

17 f He saith unto him the third time, Simon, soil 
of Jonas, lovest thou me ? Peter was grieved because 
he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me ? And 
he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things ; thou 
knowest that J love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed 
my sheep. 

1 8 g Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast 
young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither 
thou wouldest : but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt 
stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and 
carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 

19 h This spake he, signifying by what death he 
should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, 
he saith unto him, Follow me. 

20 ' Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple 
whom Jesus loved following, which also leaned on his 
breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that 
betrayeth thee 1 

21 Peter seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what 
shall this man do? 

22 k Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry 
till I come, what is that to thee ? follow thou me. 

23 Then went this saying abroad among the breth- 
ren, that that disciple should not die : yet Jesus said 
not unto him, He shall not die ; but, If I will that he 
tarry till I come, what is that to thee ? 

24 ' This is the disciple which testifieth of these 
things, and wrote these things : and we know that his 
testimony is true. 

25 m And there are also many other things which 
Jesus did, the which if they should be written every 
one, I suppose that even the world itself could not 
contain the books that should be written. Amen.

manded them that they should not depart from Jeru- 
salem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, 
sait.h he, ye have heard of me : 

5 e For John truly baptized with water ; but ye 
shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days 
hence. 

6 f When they therefore were come together, they 
asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time 
restore again the kingdom to Israel ? 

7 6 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know 
the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in 
his own power. 

8 h But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy 
Ghost is come upon you : and ye shall be witnesses 
unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in 
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 

9 ' And when he had spoken these things, while 
they beheld, he was taken up ; and a cloud received 
him out of their sight. 

10 IT k And while they looked steadfastly toward 
heaven, as he went up, behold, two men stood by 
them in white apparel ; 

1 1 ' Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand 
ye gazing up into heaven ? This same Jesus, which is 
taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like 
manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 

12 IT m Then returned they unto Jerusalem from 
the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a 
sabbath-day's journey. 

1 3 D And when they were come in, they went up 
into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and 
James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, 
Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Al- 
pheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of 
James. 

1 4 ° These all continued with one accord in prayer 
and supplication, with the women, and Mary the 
mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 

15 IT ''And in those days Peter stood up in the 
miflst of the disciples, and said, (the number of the 
names together were about a hundred and twenty,) 

16 '< Men and brethren, this scripture must needs 
have been fulfilled which the Holy Ghost by the moutl 
of David spake before concerning Judas, which was 
guide to them that took Jesus. 

1 7 r For he was numbered with us, and had ob- 
tained part of this ministry. 

1 8 8 Now this man purchased a field with the re- 
ward of iniquity ; and falling headlong, he burst asun- 
der in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. 

19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jeru- 
salem ; insomuch as that field is called in their proper 
tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. 

20 ' For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let 
his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell 
therein : and, His t bishoprick let another take. 

21 u Wherefore of these men which have compa- 
nied with us all the lime that the Lord Jesus went in 
and out among us, 

22 Beginning from the baptism of John unto that 
same day that he was taken up from us, must one be 
ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. 

23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsa- 
bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 

24 * And they prayed and said, Thou, Lord, which 
knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these 
two thou hast chosen, 

25 y That he may take part of this ministry and

1 The apostles, filled with the Holy Ghost, speak divers lan- 
guages. 14 Peter 1 s sermon. 
ND when tbe day of Pentecost was fully come, a Neh 4, 8 
they were all with one accord in one place. 

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven 
as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house 
where they were sitting. 

3 b And there appeared unto them cloven tongues 
like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them : 

4 c And they were all rilled with the Holy Ghost, 
and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit 
gave them utterance. 

5 And there were dwelling at. Jerusalem Jews, 
devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 

6 J Now when this was noised abroad, the multi- 
tude came together, and were confounded, because 
that every man heard them speak in his own language. 

7 e And they were all amazed, and marvelled, say- 
ing one to another, Behold, are not all these which 
speak, Galileans ? 

8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, 
wherein we were born ?

dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappa- 
docia, in Pontus, and Asia, 

10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the 
parts of Lybia about Cyrene, and strangers of Koiue, 
Jews and proselytes, 

1 1 f Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak { ch - '• 
in our tongues the wonderful works of God. verse 24. 

12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, 
saying one to another, What meaneth this ? 

1 3 Others mocking said, These men are full of new 

wine. %

23 n Him, being delivered by the determinate coun- 
sel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by 
wicked hands have crucified and slain : 

24 ° Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the 
pains of death : because it was not possible that he 
should be holden of it. 

25 p For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw 
the Lord always before my face ; for he is on my right 
hand, that I should not be moved : 

26, Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue 
was glad ; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope : 

27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, 
neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. 

28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life ; 
thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 

29 i Men and brethren, let. me freely speak unto 
you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and 
buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 

30 r Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that 
God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit 
of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up 
Christ to sit on his throne ; 

31 3 He seeing this before, spake of the resurrection 
of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his 
flesh did see corruption. 

32 * This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all 
are witnesses. 

33 u Therefore, being by the right hand of God 
exalted, and having received of the Father the promise 
of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye 
now see and hear. 

34 x For David is not ascended into the heavens : 
but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, 
Sit thou on my right hand, 

35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assured- 
ly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have 
crucified, both Lord and Christ. 

37 1 y Now when they heard this, they were pricked 
in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of 
the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do ? 

38 z Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be 
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, 
for the remission of sins ; and ye shall receive the gift 
of the Holy Ghost. 

39 a For the promise is unto you, and to your chil- 
dren, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the 
Lord our God shall call. 

40 And with many other words did he testify and 
exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward 
generation. 

41 IT b Then they that gladly received his word were 
baptized : and the same day there were added unto 
them about three thousand souls. 

42 c And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' 
doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and 
in prayers. 

43 d And fear came upon every soul : and many 
wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 

44 e And all that believed were together, and had 
all things common ; 

45 f And sold their possessions and goods, and parted 
them to all men, as every man had need. 

46 g And they, continuing daily with one accord in 
the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, 
did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of 
heart, 

47 " Praising God, and having favour with all the 



people. And the Lord added to the church daily such 
as should be saved. 

CHAP. III. 

Peter preacheth to the people that came to see a lame man 

restored to his feet, 4*c. 
a "TVTOW Peter and John went up together into the 
JJ^I temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 

2 And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, 
was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the 
temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them 
that entered into the temple ; 

3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the 
temple, asked an alms. 

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with 
John, said, Look on us. 

5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive 
something of them. 

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none ; 
but such as I have give I thee : In the name of Jesus 
Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him 
up : and immediately his feet and ancle-bones received 
strength. 

8 b And he leaping up, stood, and walked, and 
entered with them into the temple, walking, and leap- 
ing, and praising God. 

9 c And all the people saw him walking and praising 
God : 

10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms 
at the Beautiful gate of the temple : and they were 
filled with wonder and amazement at that which had 
happened unto him. 

1 1 d And, as the lame man which was healed held 
Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them, 
in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly won- 
dering. 

1 2 IT e And when Peter saw it, he answered unto 
the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this ? 
or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our 
own power or holiness we had made this man to walk ? 

1 3 f The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of 
Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son 
Jesus ; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the 
presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let 
him go. 

1 4 g But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and 
desired a murderer to be granted unto you ; 

1 5 h And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath 
raised from the dead ; whereof we are witnesses. 

1 6 ! And his name, through faith in his name, hath 
made this man strong, whom ye see and know ; yea, 
the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect 
soundness in the presence of you all. 

1 7 k And now, brethren, I wot that through igno- 
rance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 

1 8 ! But those things, which God before had shewed 
by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should 
suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 

1 9 m Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that 
your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refresh- 
ing shall come from the presence of the Lord ; 

20 n And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before 
was preached unto you : 

2 1 ° Whom the heaven must receive until the times 
of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by 
the mouth of all his holy prophets, since the world 
began.

phr.t shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your 
brethren, like unto me ; him shall ye hear in all things, 
whatsoever he shall say unto you. 

23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul which 
will not hear that Prophet shall be destroyed from 
among the people. 

24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel, and 
those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have 
likewise foretold of these days. 

25 q Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the 
covenant which God made with our fathers, saying 
unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds 
of the earth be blessed. 

26 r Unto you first, God having raised up his Son 
Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every 
one of you from his iniquities. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Peter and John are imprisoned. 8 Peter's boldness : 18 the 

apostles are threatened. 
* A ND as they spake unto the people, the priests, 
J\. and the captain of the temple, and the Saddu- 
cees, came upon them, 

2 b Being grieved that they taught the people, and 
preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 

3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in 
hold unto the next day : for it was now even-tide. 

4 c Howbeit many of them which heard the word 
believed ; and the number of the men was about five 
thousand. 

5 IF And it came to pass on the morrow, that their 
rulers, and elders, and scribes, 

6 d And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and 
John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the 
kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at 
Jerusalem. 

7 And when they had set them in the midst, they 
asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye 
done this ? 

8 IT e Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said 
unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of 
Israel, 

9 If we this day be examined of the good deed 
done to the impotent man, by what means he is made 
whole ; 

10 f Be it known unto you all, and to all the people 
of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Naza- 
reth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the 
dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you 
whole. 

1 1 g This is the stone which was set at nought of 
you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 

1 2 h Neither is there salvation in any other : for 
there is none other name under heaven given among 
men whereby we must be saved. 

1 3 IT ' Now when they saw the boldness of Peter 
and John, and perceived that they were unlearned 
and ignorant men, they marvelled ; and they look 
knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. 

14 k And beholding the man which was healed 
standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 

i vei-s«) 1.5. 15' But when they had commanded them to go 
aside out of the council, they conferred among them- 
selves, 

1 6 m Saying, What shall we do to these men ? for 
that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them 
is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem ; and 
we cannot deny it.

1 8 And they called them, and commanded them 
not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 

19° But Peter and John answered and said unto ° <=h. 5, 29 
them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to

20 p For we cannot but speak the things which we pch. 1,8.22.

21 1 So when they had further threatened them, 32. & 10,39.

company, and reported all that the chief priests and | ch • , - 13 ■* 
elders had said unto them. 

24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their 
voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou 
art God, which hast made heaven and earth, and the 
sea, and all that in them is ; 

25 *■ Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast * Ps 2 - •• 
said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people 
imagine vain things ? 

28 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers 
were gathered together, against the Lord, and against 
his Chnst.

whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and Pontius j ' h k „,o 'g*

that signs and wonders may be done by the name of & '-j.' 13. 
thy holy child Jesus. 

31 IT a And when they had prayed, the place was 
shaken where they were assembled together ; and 
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they 
spake the word of God with boldness.

2 a And kept back part of the price, his wife also 
being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid 
it at the apostles' feet. 

3 b But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled 
thy heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back 
part of the price of the land ? 

4 While it remained, was it not thine own ? and 
after it was sold, was it not in thine own power 1 
Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart ? 
Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 

5 c And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, 
and gave up the ghost : and great fear came on all 
them that heard these things. 

6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and 
carried him out, and buried him.- 

7 And it was about the .space of three hours after, 
when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 

8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether 
ye sold the land for so much 1 And she said, Yea, 
for so much. 

9 d Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye 
have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord ? 
Behold, the feet of them which have buried thy hus- 
band are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 

1 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and 
yielded up the ghost : and the young men came in 
and found her dead, and carrying her forth, buried her 
by her husband. 

1 1 e And great fear came upon all the church, and 
upon as many as heard these things. 

12 IT f And by the hands of the apostles were many 
signs and wonders wrought among the people ; (and 
they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. 

13 g And of the rest durst no man join himself to 
them : but the people magnified them. 

14 h And believers were the more added to the 
Lord, multitudes both of men and women ;) 

1 5 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into 
the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that 
at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might 
overshadow some of them. 

16 There came also a multitude out of the cities 
round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and 
them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and 
they were healed every one. 

1 7 IT ' Then the high priest rose up, and all they 
that were with him, (which is the sect of the Saddu- 
cees,) and were filled with indignation, 

18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put 
them in the common prison. 

19 k But the angel of the Lord by night opened 
the prison-doors, and brought them forth, and said, 

20 l Go, stand and speak in the temple to the peo- 
ple all the words of this life. 

21 m And when they heard that, they entered into the 
temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high 
priest came, and they that were with him, and called 
the council together, and all the senate of the children 
of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. 

22 But when the officers came, and found them 
not in the prison, they returned, and told, 

23 n Saying, The prison truly found we shut with 
all safety, and the keepers standing without before 
the doors : but when we had opened, we found no 
man within. 

24 Now when the t high priest and the captain of 
the temple and the chief priests heard these things 
they doubted of them whereunto this would grow. 




25 ° Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, 
the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the 
temple, and teaching the people. 

26 p Then went the captain with the officers, and 
brought them without violence : for they feared the 
people, lest they should have been stoned. 

27 And when they had brought them, they set 
them before the council : and the high priest asked 
them, 

28 q Saying, Did not we straitly command you 
that you should not teach in this name ? and, behold, 
ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and in- 
tend to bring this man's blood upon us. 

•29 IF r Then Peter and the other apostles answered 
and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 

30 8 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom 
ye slew and hanged on a tree. 

31 l Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to 
be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to 
Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 

32 u And we are his witnesses of these things ; 
and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given 
to them that obey him. 

33 IT When they heard that, they were cut to the 
heart, and took counsel to slay them. 

34 x Then stood there up one in the council, a 
Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of law, had in 
reputation among all the people, and commanded to 
put the apostles forth a little space ; 

35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take 
heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching 
these men. 

36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boast- 
ing himself to be somebody ; to whom a number of 
men, about four hundred, joined themselves : who 
was slain ; and all, as many as obeyed him, were 
scattered, and brought to nought. 

37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee, in the 
days of the taxing, and drew away much people after 
him : he also perished ; and all, even as many as obey- 
ed him, were dispersed. 

38 y And now I say unto you, Refrain from these 
men, and let them alone : for if this counsel or this 
work be of men, it will come to nought : 

39 z But if it be of God, ye cannot overt hrow it ; 
lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. 

40 a And to him they agreed : and when they had 
called the apostles, and beaten them > they commanded 
that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and 
let them go. 

41 IT b And they departed from the presence of the 
council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to 
suffer shame for his name. 

42 c And daily in the temple, and in every house, 
they ceased not to teach, and preach Jesus Christ.

1 b Then the twelve called the multitude of the dis- b ch. 5, 14.

and to the ministry of the word 

5 IT d And the saying pleased the whole multitude : 
and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the 
Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, 
and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte 
of Antioch : 

6 e Whom they set before the apostles : and when 
they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. 

7 f And the word of God increased ; and the num- 
ber of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly ; 
and a great company of the priests were obedient to 
the faith. 

8lf 8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great 
wonders and miracles among the people. 

9 IT Then there arose certain of the synagogue, 
which is called The synagogue of the Libertines, and 
Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia, 
and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. 

10 h And they were not able to resist the wisdom 
and the spirit by which he spake. 

1 1 Then they suborned men, which said, We have 
heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, 
and against God. 

12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, 
and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, 
and brought him to the council, 

13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man 
ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against tliis 
holy place and the law : 

1 4 ' For we have heard him say, That this Jesus of 
Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change 
die customs which Moses delivered us. 

15 And all that satin the council, looking steadfastly 
on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. 

CHAP. VII. 

1 Stephen being called, answereth to his accusation : 54 they 
stone him to death. 

THEN said the high priest, Are these things so ? 
2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, 
hearken ; the God of glory appeared unto our father 
Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he 
dwelt in Charran, 

3 a And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, 
and from thy kindred, and come into the land which 
I shall shew thee. 

4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, 
and dwelt in Charran : and from thence, when his 
father was dead, he removed him into this land,

5 b And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not 
so much as to set his foot on : yet he promised that he 
would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed 
after him, when as yet he had no child. 

G ' And God spake on this wise, That his seed 
should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should 
bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four 
hundred years. 

7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage 
will I judge, said God : and after that shall they come 
forth, and serve me in this place. 

8 ll And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. 
And so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him 

eighth day, and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob 
begai the twelve patriarchs.

gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh 
king of Egypt ; and he made him governor over Egypt 
and all his house. 

1 1 g Now there came a dearth over all the land of 
Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction : and our 
fathers found no sustenance. 

12 h But when Jacob heard that there was corn in 
Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. 

13 ' And at the second time Joseph was made 
known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was 
made known unto Pharaoh. 

14 k Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob 
to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. 

15 l So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, 
and our fathers, 

16 m And were carried over into Sychem, and laid 
in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of 
money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. 

17° But when the time of the promise drew nigh, 
which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew 
and multiplied in Egypt, 

1 8 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph. 

19 The same dealt subtilely with our kindred, and 
evil-entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their 
young children, to the end they might not live. 

20 ° In which time Moses was born, and was ex- 
ceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house 
three months : 

21 p And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daugh- 
ter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. 

22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the 
Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. 

23 And when he was full forty years old, it came 
into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. 

24 q And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he de- i Ex - '-■ '"• 
fended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and 

smote the Egyptian : 

25 For he supposed his brethren would have under- 
stood how that God by his hand would deliver them ; 
but they understood not. 

26 r And the next day he shewed himself unto them r E * 2 - ,3 - 
as they strove, and would have set them at one again, 
saying, Sirs, ye are brethren ; why do ye wrong one 

to .another? 

27 But he that did his neighbour wrong tluust him 
away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge 
over us ? 

28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst Uie Egyptian 
yesterday ? % 

29 3 Then fled Moses at this saying; and was a stran- 
ger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons. 

30 l And when forty years were expired, there ap- 
peared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an 
angel of the Lord, in a flame of fire in a bush. 

31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight : 
and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the 
Lord came unto him, 

32 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of 
Abraham, and the God of [saac, and the God of 
Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. 

33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes 
from thy feet ; for the place where thou standest is 
holy ground. 

34 1 have seen, I have seen the affliction of my peo- 
ple which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groan-

made thee a ruler and a judge ? the same did God 
send to be a ruler and a deliverer, by the hands of the 
angel which appeared to him in the bush. 

36 x He brought them out, after that he had shew- 
ed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the 
Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years. 

37 II y This is that Moses which said unto the 
children of Israel, A Prophet shall the Lord your God 
raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me ; him 
shall ye hear. 

38 z This is he that was in the church in the wil- 
derness, with the angel which spake to him in the 
mount Sina, and with our fathers ; who received the 
lively oracles to give unto us : 

39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust 
him from them, and in their hearts turned back again 
into Egypt, 

40 a Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before 
us : for as for this Moses which brought us out of the 
land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 

41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered 
sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of 
their own hands. 

42 b Then God turned, and gave them up to wor- 
ship the host of heaven : as it is written in the book of 
the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to 
me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty 
years in the wilderness ? 

43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and 
the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made 
to worship them : and I will carry you away beyond 
Babylon. 

44 c Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in 
the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto 
Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion 
that he had seen. 

45 d Which also our fathers that came after brought 
in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom 
God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the 
days of David ; 

46 e Who found favour before God, and desired to 
find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 

47 f But Solomon built him a house. 

48 E Howbeit, the Most High dwelleth not in tem- 
ples made with hands ; as saith the prophet, 

49 h Heaven is my throne, and earth is my foot- 
stool : what house will ye build me 9 saith the Lord : 
or what is the place of my rest ? 

50 Hath not my hand made all these things ? 

51 IT ' Ye stiff-necked, and uncircumcised in heart 
and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost : as 
your fathers did, so do ye. 

52 k Which of the prophets have not your fathers 
persecuted ? and they have slam them which shewed 
before of the coming of the Just One, of whom ye 
have been now the betrayers and murderers : 

53 ' Who have received the law by the disposition 
of angels, and have not kept it. 

54 H m When they heard these things, they were 
cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their 
teeth. 

55 n But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked 
up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, 
and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 

56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and 
the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 

51 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stop- 
ped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 

2 b And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, 
and made great lamentation over him. 

3 c As for Saul, he made havock of the church, en- 
tering into every house ; and haling men and women, 
committed them to prison. 

4 d Therefore they that were scattered abroad went 
every where preaching the word. 

5 1f e Then Philip went down to the city of Sama- 
ria, and preached Christ unto them. 

£ And the people with one accord gave heed unto 
those things which Philip spake, hearing, and seeing 
the miracles which he did. 

7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came 
out of many that were possessed with them : and many 
taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 

8 And there was great joy in that city. 

9 IT f But there was a certain man called Simon, 
which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and 
bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that him- 
self was some great one : 

10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to 
the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of 
God. 

1 1 And to him they had regard, because that of 
long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. 

12 5 But when they believed Philip preaching the f n Mat - 2S < 
things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name 
of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and 
women. 

13 Then Simon himself believed also : and when 
he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and won- 
dered, beholding the miracles and signs which were 
done. 

14 IT Now when the apostles which were at Jeru- 
salem heard that Samaria had received the word of 
God, they sent unto them Peter and John : 

15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for 
them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost : 

1 6 For as yet he was fallen upon none of them ; 
only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 

1 7 Then laid they their hands on them, and they 
received the Holy Ghost. 

18 And when Simon saw, that through laying on 
of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he 
offered them money, 

1 9 h Saying, Give me also this power, that on whom- 
soever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 

20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with H, l* 
thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God 
may be purchased with money. 

21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: 
for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness ; and 
pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may 
be forgiven thee. 

23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitter- 
ness, and in the bond of iniquity. 

24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the 
Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have 
spoken come upon me. 

25 And they, when they had testified and preached 
the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and 
preached the gospel in many villages of the Sama- 
ritans. 

26 IT And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, 
saying, Arise, and go toward the south, unto the way 
that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is 
desert. 

27 And he arose and went : and, behold, a man of 
Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Can- 
dace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge 
of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to 
worship, 

28 Was returning ; and, sitting in his chariot, read 
Esaias the prophet. 

29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and 
join thyself to this chariot. 

30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him 
read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou 
what thou readest ? 

31 And he said, How can I, except some man 
should guide me ? And he desired Philip that he 
would come up and sit with him. 

32 ' The place of the scripture which he read was 
this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter ; and like 
a lamb dumb before the shearer, so opened he not his 
mouth : 

33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken 
away : and who shall declare his generation ? for his 
life is taken from the earth. 

34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I 
pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this ? of 
himself, or of some other man ? 

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at 
the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 

36 And as they went on their way, they came unto 
a certain water : und the eunuch said, See, here is 
water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 

37 k And Philip said. Jf thou believest with all thy 
heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said. J 
believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 

38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still : 
and they went down both into the water, both Philip 
and the eunuch ; and he baptized him. 

39 ' And when they were come up out of the 
water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that 
the eunuch saw him no more : and he went on his 
way rejoicing. 

40 m But Philip was found at Azotus : and passing 
through, he preached in all the cities, till he came to 
Cesarea.

CHAP. IX. Saul called to the apostleshp 

they were men or women, he might bring them bound 
unto Jerusalem. 

3 b And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus ; 
and suddenly there shined round about him a light 
from heaven : 

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying 
unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me ? 

5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord ? And the Lord 
said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest : it is hard 
for thee to kick against the pricks. 

6 And he trembling and astonished, said, Lord, 
what wilt thou have me to do ? And the Lord said 
unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be 
told thee what thou must do. 

7 c And the men which journeyed with him stood 
speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 

8 And Saul arose from the earth ; and when his 
eyes were opened, he saw no man : but they led him 
by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 

9 And he was three days without sight, and neither 
did eat nor drink. 

10 IF And there was a certain disciple at Damas- 
cus, named Ananias : and to him said the Lord in a 
vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 

11 d And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go dch.21,39 
into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in & s ' 3 - 
the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus : for, 
behold, he prayeth, 

12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ana- 
nias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he 
might receive his sight. 

13 e Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard cvei*»»i,3 
by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to 
thy saints at Jerusalem : 

14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests 
to bind all that call on thy name. 

15 f But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for 
he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before 
the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel : 

16 g For I will shew him how great things he must 
suffer for my name's sake. 

17 h And Ananias went his way, and entered into I™. im *J 
the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Bro- rcU. 20.^3 
ther Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto * 21 - 
thee in the way as thou earnest, hath sent me, that 23. 
thou miffhtest receive thy sight, and be filled with the hch.82, r. 
Holy Ixhost. 

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it 
had been scales ; and he received sight forthwith, and 
arose, and was baptized. 

19 ' And when he had received meat, he was ich.28, so 
strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the verw! 
diseipjes which were at Damascus. 

20 And straightway he preached Christ in the 
synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 

21 k But all that heard him were amazed, and said, J^P-y, 
Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this ' 
name, in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent) 
that he might bring them bound unto (he chief priests > 

22 1 But Saul increased the more in strength, and > «^- 26. to 
confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, 
proving that this is very Christ. 

23 H And after that many days were fulfilled, the 
Jews took counsel to kill him. 

24 m But their laying await was known of Saul. 
And they watched the gates day and night, to kill him. 

25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let 
him down by the wall, in a basket.

restoreth Tabitha to life : 

26 n And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he 
assayed to join himself to the disciples : but they 
were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was 
a disciple. 

27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the 
apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen 
the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, 
and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the 
name of Jesus. 

28 And he was with them coming in and going out 
at Jerusalem. 

29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord 
Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians : but they 
went about to slay him. 

30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought 
him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 

31 ° Then had the churches rest throughout all 
Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified ; 
and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the com- 
fort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. 

32 fl And it came to pass, as Peter passed through- 
out all quarters, he came down also to the saints 
which dwelt at Lydda. 

33 And there he found a certain man named Eneas, 
which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of 
the palsy. 

34 And Peter said unto him, Eneas, Jesus Christ 
maketh thee whole ; arise, and make thy bed. And 
lie arose immediately. 

35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Saron saw 
him, and turned to the Lord. 

36 IF Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple 
named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called 
Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and 
alms-deeds which she did. 

37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was 
sick, and died : whom when they had washed, they 
laid her in an upper chamber. 

38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, 
and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they 
sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would 
not delay to come to them. 

39 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When 
he was come, they brought him into the upper cham- 
ber : and all the widows stood by him weeping, and 
shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made 
while she was with them. 

40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, 
and prayed : and turning him to the body, said, 
Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes : and when 
she saw Peter, she sai up. 

41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up : 
and when he had called the saints and widows, he 
presented her alive. 

42 And it was known throughout all Joppa ; and 
many believed in the Lord. 

43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days 
in Joppa. with one Simon a tanner.

1 Cornelius sendeth for Peter. 34 Peter preacheth. 44 The 
Holy Ghost falleth on the hearers : they are baptized. 

THERE was a certain man in Cesarea called 
Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the 
Italian band, 

2 a A devout man, and one that feared God with 
all his house, which gave much alms to the people, 
and prayed to God always. 

3 He saw in a vision evidently} about the ninth!

and saying unto him, Cornelius. 

4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and 
said, What is it, Lord ? And he said unto him, Thy 
prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial 
before God. 

5 b And now send men to Joppa, and call for one b verse 3-1 
Simon, whose surname is Peter. 

6 c He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose c ch. 9, 4a 
house is by the sea-side : he shall tell thee what thou y er 11 2 i' l 3a 
oughtest to do. 

7 d And when the angel which spake unto Corne- d Mark 3, 9 
lius was departed, he called two of his household cha P- s ' 13 
servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on 

him continually ; 

8 e And when he had declared all these things unto 
them, he sent them to Joppa. 

9 IF f On the morrow, as they went on their jour- 
ney, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up 
upon the house to pray, about the sixth hour : 

10 And he became very hungry, and would have 
eaten : but while they made ready, he fell into a 
trance, 

11 g And saw heaven opened, and a certain ves- gch. u, &, 
sel descending unto him, as it had been a great 

sheet, knit at the four corners, and let down to the 
earth ; 

1 2 Wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts 
of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, 
and fowls of the air. 

1 3 h And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter ; 
kill, and eat. 

1 4 But Peter said. Not so, Lord ; for I have never Seut 14, 3. 
eaten any thing that is common or unclean. E? ° k - 4 > l4 -

1 6 This was done thrice : and the vessel was |°- „ 
received up again into heaven. 25. ° r 

17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this L 7 '" 1 . 4 '^ 
vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the 

men which were sent from Cornelius had made in- 
quiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, 

1 8 And called, and asked, whether Simon, which 
was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. 

1 9 IT k While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit k ver. 7. 17 
said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 

20 ' Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go • ch - 15 i 7 - 
with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. 

21 Then Peter went down to the men which were 
sent unto him from Cornelius, and said, Behold, I 
am he whom ye seek : what is the cause wherefore 
ye are come '! 

22 m And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just m ver. 2, 3. 
man, and one that feareth God, and of good report 6 " 
among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from 

God by a holy angel, to send for thee into his house, 
and to hear words of thee. 

23 n Then called he them in, and lodged them, n ch. 9, 42. 
And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and & ]1 * 12 - 
certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 

24 ° And the morrow after they entered into Ce- o verse 27. 
sarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had 
called together his kinsmen and near friends. 

25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met 
him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. 

26 p But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I pch.14,15. 
myself also am a man.

Peter preachetk to Cornelius. 

27 q And as he talked with him, he went in, and 
Found many that were come together. 

28 r And he said unto them, Ye know how that it 
is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep 
company, or come unto one of another nation ; but 
God hath shewed me that I should not call any man 
common or unclean. 

29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, 
as soon as I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what 
intent ye have sent for me ? 

30 s And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was 
fasting until this hour ; and at the ninth hour I prayed 
in my house ; and, behold, a man stood before me in 
bright clothing, 

31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and 
thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of 
God. 

32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon 
whose surname is Peter : he is lodged in the house of 
one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side ; who, when he 
cometh, shall speak unto thee. 

33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee ; and thou 
hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore 
are we all here present before God, to hear all things 
that are commanded thee of God. 

34 IT l Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, 
Of a truth J perceive that God is no respecter of 
persons : 

35 u But in every nation he that feareth him, and 
worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 

36 x The word which God sent unto the children 
of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ ; (he is 
Lord of all ;) 

37 y That word, / say, you know, which was pub- 
lished throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, 
after the baptism which John preached : 

38 z How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with 
the Holy Ghost and with power ; who went about 
doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the 
devil : for God was with him. 

39 a And we are witnesses of all things which he 
did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem ; 
whom they slew and hanged on a tree : 

40 b Him God raised up the third day, and shewed 
him openly ; 

41 c Not to all the people, but unto witnesses cho- 
sen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink 
with him after he rose from the dead. 

42 d And he commanded us to preach unto the 
people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained 
of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 

43 e To him give all the prophets witness, that 
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall 
receive remission of sins. 

44 IT f While Peter yet spake these words, the 
Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 

45 E And they of the circumcision which believed 
were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because 
that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of 
the Holy Ghost : 

46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and 
magnify God. Then answered Peter, 

47 h Can any man forbid water, that those should 
not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost 
as well as we ? 

48 ' And he commanded them to be baptized in the 
name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry 
certain days.

CHAP. XI. 

1 Peter accused for going to the Gentiles. 19 The gospel 
is preached in many places. 27 Jigabus prophesieth of a 
great dearth. 

ND the apostles and brethren that were in Judea 
heard that the Gentiles had also received the ' F et h *• 

r z~i i e lsa. o3, 4. 

word ol (jod. & 59, -20. 

2 b And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, ^ er - 3 >' **• 
they that were of the circumcision contended with Mi" a h7, 1 
him, 

3 c Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncirciuncised, 
and didst eat with them. 

4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the begin- 
ning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying, 

5 d 1 was in the city of Joppa, praying : and in a 
trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it 
had been a great sheet let down from heaven by four ^V 2 ' 4 ' * 
corners ; and it came even to me : i c 'h. 2, sa. 

6 Upon the which when 1 had fastened mine eyes, 
I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, 
and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of ? ch - in - J4 -

the air. 

7 And I heard a voice 
Peter ; slay, and eat. 

8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common 
or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth. 

9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, 
What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 

10 And this was done three times: and all were 
drawn up again into heaven. 

1 1 And, behold, immediately there were three men 
already come unto the house where 1 was, sent from 
Cesarea unto me. 

12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing 
doubting. Moreover, these six brethren accompanied 
me ; and we entered into the man's house : 

13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in 
his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men 
to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; 

14 VV r ho shall tell thee words, whereby thou and 
all thy house shall be saved. 

15 e And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell e chap. 2, 4. 
on them, as on us at the beginning. 

1 6 f Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how fMat 3, 1 1. 
that he said, John indeed baptized with water ; but ye M«* '< H - 
shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. / ( ,| m \\f) 

17 Forasmuch then as God gave them t lie like gill 
as he did unto us who believed 011 the. Lord Jesus 
Christ, what was 1, that 1 could withstand God/ 

18 When they heard these things, they held their 
peaces and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also 
to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. 

19 If g Now they which were scattered abroad upon ^ch. 8, 1 * 
the persecution that arose about Stephen, travelled as ,0 - 2a - 
far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching 
the word to none but unto the Jews only. 

20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and 
Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, 
spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. 

21 "And the hand of the Lord was u ith them i and 
a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord. 

22 If Then tidings of these things came unto the ears 
of the church which was in Jerusalem : and they sent 
forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. 

23 Who when he came, and had seen the grace of 
God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with 
purpose of heart they would cleave unto the I .ord. 

24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy

Ghost and of faith : and much people was added unto 
the Lord. 

25 ' Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek 
Saul : 

26 And when he had found him, he brought him 
unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year 
they assembled themselves with the church, and taught 
much people. And the disciples were called Chris- 
tians first in Antioch. 

27 IF k And in these days came prophets from Jeru- 
salem unto Antioch. 

28 And there stood up one of them, named Agabus, 
and signified by the Spirit that there should be great 
dearth throughout all the world : which came to pass 
in the days of Claudius Cesar. 

29 ' Then the disciples, every man according to his 
ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren 
which dwelt in Judea : 

30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by 
the hands of Barnabas and Saul. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 Herod persecuteth the Christians ; 20 his pride, and 
miserable death. 
OW about that time, Herod the king stretched 
forth his hands, to vex certain of the church, 
a Mat. 20, 2 a And he killed James the brother of John with 
*•; the sword. 

3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he pro- 
ceeded further to take Peter also. Then were the 
days of unleavened bread. 
fe,\iat.26,5, 4 b And when he had apprehended him, he put Jam 
in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of sol- 
diers to keep him ; intending after Easter to bring him 
forth to the people. 

5 Peter therefore was kept in prison; but prayer was 
made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. 

6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, 
the same night Peter was sleeping between two sol- 
diers, bound with two chains : and the keepers before 
the door kept the prison. 

7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon 
him, and a light shined in the prison : and he smote 
Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up 
quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. 

8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and 
bind on thy sandals : and so he did. And he saith 
unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 

9 And he went out, and followed him ; and wist 
not that it was true which was done by the angel ; but 
thought he saw a vision. 

1 When they were past die first and the second 
ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto 
the city, which opened to them of his own accord : and 
they went out, and passed on through one street ; and 
forthwith the angel departed from him. 

1 1 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, 
Now I know of a surety that the Lord hath sent his 
angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, 
and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. 

i verse S< 1 2 c And when he had considered the thing, he came 

to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose sur- 
name was Mark ; where many were gathered together, 
praying. 

1 3 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a 
damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda. 

14 And when she knew. Peter's voice, she opened 
not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how 
Peter stood before the gate. 



15 d And they said unto hei, Thou art mad. But 
she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then 
said they, It is his angel. 

1 6 But Peter continued knocking : and when they 
had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished. 

17 But he beckoning unto them with the hand, to 
hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord 
had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, 
shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. 
And he departed, and went into another place. 

18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small 
stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. 

1 9 And when Herod had sought for him, and found 
him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded 
that they should be put to death. And he went down 
from Judea to Cesarea, and there abode. 

20 IT e And Herod was highly displeased with them 
of Tyre and Sidon : but they came with one accord to 
him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain 
their friend, desired peace ; because their country was 
nourished by the king's country. 

21 And upon a set day, Herod, arrayed in royal 
apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto 
them. 

22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the 
voice of a god, and not of a man. 

23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote 
him, because he gave not God the glory : and he was 
eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. 

24 IF f But the word of God grew and multiplied. 

25 £ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jeru- 
salem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took 
with them John, whose surname was Mark. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 Paul and Barnabas sent to the Gentiles. 42 The Gentiles be- 
lieve. 45 The Jews blaspheme, and raise a persecution. 
a T^T^^ there were in the church that was at An- 
L% tioch, certain prophets and teachers ; as Bar- 
nabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius 
of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up 
with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 

2 b As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the 
Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for 
the work whereunto I have called them. 

3 c And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid 
their hands on them, they sent them away. 

4 IF So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, 
departed unto Seleucia ; and from thence they sailed 
to Cyprus. 

5 d And when they were at Salamis, they preached 
the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews : and 
they had also John to their minister. 

6 e And when they had gone through the isle unto 
Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, 
a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus : 

7 Which was with the deputy of the country, 
Sergius Paulus, a prudent man ; who called for Bar- 
nabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 

8 ' But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by 
interpretation") withstood them, seeking to turn away 
the deputy from the faith. 

9 Then Saul (who also is called Paul,) filled with 
the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 

1 e And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, 
thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, 
wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the 
Lord ? 

1 1 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon

I bee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the snn for a 
season. And immediately there fell on him a mist 
and a darkness ; and he went about, seeking some to 
lead him by the hand. 

1 2 Then the. deputy, when he saw what was done, 
believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. 

1 3 h Now when Paul and his company loosed from 
Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia ; and John 
departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. 

1 4 IF But when they departed from Perga, they came 
to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on 
the sabbath-day, and sat down. 

1 5 And after the reading of the law and the pro- 
phets, the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, 
saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of 
exhortation for the people, say on. 

1 6 ' Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his 
hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give 
audience. 

1 7 k The God of tliis people of Israel chose our 
fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as 
strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm 
brought he them out of it. 

1 8 ' And about the time of forty years suffered he 
their manners in the wilderness. 

1 9 m And when he had destroyed seven nations in the 
land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot. 

20 n And after that, he gave unto them judges, about 
the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel 
the prophet. 

21 ° And afterward they desired a king: and God 
gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe 
of Benjamin, by the. space of forty years. 

22 p And when he had removed him, he raised up 
unto them David to be their king ; to whom also he 
gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son 
of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall 
fulfil all my will. 

23 q Of this man's seed hath God, according to his 
promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus : 

24 r When John had first preached, before his coming, 
the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 

25 s And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom 
think ye that I am ? I am not he : but, behold, there 
cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not 
worthy to loose. 

26 ' Men and brethren, children of the 6tock of 
Abraham, and whosoever among you fcareth God, to 
you is the word of this salvation sent. 

27 u For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and thei 
rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices 
of the prophets which are read every sabbath-day, they 
have fulfilled them in condemning him. 

28 x And though they found no cause of death in 
him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 

29 y And when they had fulfilled all that was writ ten 
of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him 
in a sepulchre* 

30 z But God raised him from the dead : 

31 a And he was seen many days of them which 
came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are 
his witnesses unto the people. 

32 b And we. declare unto you glad tidings, how that 
the promise which was made unto the fathers, 

33 c God hath fulfilled the same unto us their chil- 
dren, in that he hath raised up Jesus again ; as it is 
also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, 
this day have I begotten thee. 



34 d And as concerning that he raised him up from 
the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said 
on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. 

35 e Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou 
shalt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. 

36 r For David, after he had served his own gene- 
ration by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid 
unto Iris fathers, and saw corruption : 

37 But he whom God raised again, saw no cor- 
ruption. 

38 IT g Be it known unto you therefore, men and 
brethren, that through this man is preached unto you 
the forgiveness of sins : 

39 h And by him, all that believe are justified from 
all things, from which ye could not be justified by the 
law of Moses. 

40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which 
is spoken of in the prophets ; 

41 ' Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish : 
for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall 
in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. 

42 IT And when the Jews were gone out of the syna- 
gogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might 
be preached to them the next sabbath. 

43 k Now when the congregation was broken up, 
many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed 
Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded 
them to continue in the grace of God. 

44 II And the next sabbath-day came almost the 
whole city together, to hear the word of God. 

45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were 
filled with envy, and spake against those things which 
were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. 

46 ' Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, 
It was necessary that the word of God should first have 
been spoken to you : but seeing ye put it from you, 
and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, 
we turn to the Gentiles. 

47 m For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying. 
I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou 
shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. 

48 n And when the Gentiles heard this, they were 
glad, and glorified the word of the Lord : and as mam- 
as were ordained to eternal life, believed. 

49 And the word of the Lord was published through- 
out all the region. 

50 ° But the Jews stirred up the devout and honour- 
able women, and the chief men of the city, and raised 
persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled 
them out of their coasts. 

51 p But they shook off the dust of their feet against 
them, and came unto Iconium. 

52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with 
the Holy Ghost.

2 a But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentili ■>. 
and made their minds evil-affected against the brethren. 

3 b Long time therefore abode they speaking boldrj 
in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of 
his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done 
by their hands.

4 But the multitude of the city was divided : and 
part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. 

5 c And when there was an assault made, both of 
the Gentiles and also of the Jews, with their rulers, to 
use them despitefully, and to stone them, 

6 d They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and 
Derbe. cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that 
lieth round about : 

7 And there they preached the gospel. 

8 IT e And there sat a certain man at Lystra, im- 
potent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's 
womb, who never had walked : 

9 f The same heard Paul speak : who steadfastly 
beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be 
healed, 

10 g Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy 
feet. And he leaped and walked. 

1 1 h And when the people saw what Paul had done, 
they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of 
Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the like- 
ness of men. 

12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, 
Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. 

13 ' Then the priest of Jupiter r which was before 
their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, 
and would have done sacrifice with the people. 

14 k JYhich when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, 
heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the 
people, crying out, 

1 5 l And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things ? We 
also are men of like passions with you, and preach 
unto you, that ye should turn from these vanities, unto 
the living God, which made heaven and earth, and the 
sea, and all things that are therein : 

1 6 m Who in times past, suffered all nations to walk 
in their own ways. 

17 "Nevertheless, he left not himself without wit- 
ness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, 
and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and 
gladness. 

1 8 And with these sayings scarce restrained they 
the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them. 

19 IT ° And there came thither certain Jews from 
Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and 
having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing 
he had been dead. 

20 p Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about 
him, he rose up, and came into the city : and the next 
day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 

21 And when they had preached the gospel to that 
city, and had taught many, they returned again to 
Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 

22 i Confirming the souls of the disciples, and ex- 
horting them to continue in the faith, and that we must 
through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of 
God. 

23 r And when they t had ordained them elders in 
every church, and had prayed with fasting, they com- 
mended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. 

24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, 
they came to Pamphylia. 

25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, 
they went down into Attalia : 

26 3 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence 
they had been recommended to the grace of God for 
the work which they fulfilled. 

27 * And when they were come, and had gathered 
the church together, they rehearsed all that God had 



done with them, and how he had opened the door of 
faith unto the Gentiles. 

28 And there they abode long time with the disciples* 
CHAP. XV. 

1 Dissension abovt circumcision : 6 the apostles consult about 
it : 22 their determination. 36 Paul and Barnabas con- 
tend, and part. 

a A ND certain men jyhich came down from Judea, 
J-jL taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be 

circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be 

saved. 

2 b When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small 
dissension and disputation with them, they determined 
that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, 
should go up to Jerusalem, unto the apostles and elders, 
about this question. 

3 And being brought on their way by the church, 
they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring 
the conversion of the Gentiles : and they caused great 
joy unto all the brethren. 

4 c And when they were come to Jerusalem, they 
were received of the church, and of the apostles and 
elders ; and they declared all things that God had done 
with them. 

5 If d But there rose up certain of the sect of the 
Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful 
to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the 
law of Moses. 

6 And the apostles and elders came together for to 
consider of this matter. 

7 e And when there had been much disputing, Peter 
rose up, and said unto them, Men and bretliren, ye 
know how that a good while ago God made choice 
among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear 
the word of the gospel, and believe. 

8 f And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them 
witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did 
unto us ; 

9 g And put no difference between us and them, 
purifying their hearts by faith. 

10 h Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a 
yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our 
fathers nor we were able to bear ? 

1 1 ' But we believe that through the grace of the 
Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. 

1 2 IF k Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave 
audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what 
miracles and wonders God had wrought among the 
Gentiles by them. 

13 TT x And after they had held their peace, James 
answered, saying, Men and brethren hearken unto me : 

14 m Simeon hath declared how God at the first 
did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for 
his name. 

15 And to tliis agree the words of the prophets ; as 
it is written, 

16 "After this I will return, and will build again 
the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down ; and I 
will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up : 

1 7 That the residue of men might seek after the 
Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is 
called, saith the Lo: J, who doeth all these things. 

1 8 Known unto God are all his works, from the 
beginning of the world. 

1 9 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not 
them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to 
God : 

20 ° But that we write unto them, that they abstain

from pollutions of idols, and from fornication 
from things strangled, andfro?n blood. 

21 p For Moses of old time hath in every city thorn 
that preach him, being read in the synagogues every 
sabbath-day. 

22 IT Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with 
the whole church, to send chosen men of their own 
company to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas; name- 
ly, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men 
among the brethren : 

23 And wrote letters by them after this manner, 
The apostles and elders, and brethren, send greeting 
unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch, 
and Syria, and Cilicia : 

24 q Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which 
went out from us have troubled you with words, subvert- 
ing your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep 
the law : to whom we gave no suck commandment : 

25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with 
one accord, to send chosen men unto you, with our 
beloved Barnabas and Paul ; 

26 r Men that have hazarded their lives for the 
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who 
shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 

28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to 
us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these 
necessary things •, 

29 s That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, 
and from blood, and from things strangled, and from 
fornication : from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall 
do well. Fare ye well. 

30 IT So when they were dismissed, they came to 
Antioch : and when they had gathered the multitude 
together, they delivered the epistle : 

31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the 
consolation. 

32 * And Judas and Silas, being prophets also them- 
selves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and 
confirmed them. 

33 And after they had tarried there a space, they 
were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles. 

34 Notwithstanding, it pleased Silas to abide there 
still. 

35 u Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, 
teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with 
many others also. 

36 IT * And some days after, Paul said unto Bavna- 
bas, Let us go again and visit our brethren, in every

37 y And Barnabas determined to take with them 
John, whose surname was Mark. 

38 z But Paul thought not good to take him with 
them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and 
went not with them to the work. 

39 a And the contention was so sharp between 
them, that they departed asunder one from the other: 
and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus: 

40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being re- 
commended by the brethren unto the grace of God. 

41 b And he went through Syria and Cilicia, con- 
firming the churches.

2 b Which was well reported of by the brethren 
that were at Lystra and Iconium. 

3 c Him would Paul have to go forth with him ; 
and took and circumcised him, because of the Jews ^° al 
which were in those quarters : for they knew all that 
his father was a Greek. 

4 d And as they went through the cities, they de- 
livered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordain- 
ed of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem. 

5 And so were the churches established in the faith, 
and increased in number daily. 

6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia 
and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the 
Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, 

7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to 
go into Bithynia : but the Spirit suffered them not. 

8 e And they passing by Mysia, came down to * ch. 20, &

9 IF And a vision appeared to Paul in the night : 
There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, 
saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. 

10 f And after he had seen the vision, immediately Oh. 10.9. 
we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly & 26, 
gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach 

the gospel unto them. 

1 1 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a 
straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to 
Neapolis ; 

12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief 
city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony. And 
we were in that city abiding certain days. 

1 3 g And on the sabbath we went out of the city by g ch. 21, is. 
a river side, where prayer was wont to be made : and 

we sat down, and spake unto the women which 
resorted thither. 

14 IT And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller 
of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped 
God, heard us : whose heart the Lord opened, that she 
attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul-. 

15 h And when she was baptized, and her house- hOe 19,3 
hold, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me *3 

to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and 21 
abide there. And she constrained us. ',",• £ 

16 IT i And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, chap 8,' 12! 
a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of t divination ' ' 

met us, which brought her masters much gnin by 7, 
soothsaying: ,,i: i 

17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, say- python, 
ing, These men are the servants of the most high God, ''< M " uo - 
which shew unto us the way of salvation. 

18 k And this did she many days. But Paul, be- k Mark is, 
ing grieved, turned and said to the spirit, 1 command 

thee in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. 
And he came out the same hour.

them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to 
keep them safely : 

24 Who having received such a charge, thrust them 
into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the 
stocks. 

25 IT p And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and 
sang praises unto God : and the prisoners heard 
them. 

26 q And suddenly there was a great earthquake, 
so that the foundations of the prison were shaken : and 
immediately all the doors were opened, and every 
one's bands were loosed. 

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his 
sleep, and seeing the prison-doors open, he drew out 
his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing 
that the prisoners had been fled. 

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do 
thyself no harm ; for we are all here. 

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and 
came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas ; 

30 r And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what 
must I do to be saved ? 

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, 
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 

32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, 
and to all that were in his house. 

33 And he took them the same hour of the night, 
and washed their stripes ; and was baptized, he and 
all his, straightway. 

34 s And when he had brought them into his house, 
he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in 
God, with all his house. 

35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the 
serjeants, saying, Let those men go. 

36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to 
Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go : now 
therefore depart, and go in peace. 

37 * But Paul said unto them. They have beaten 
us openly uncondemnned, being Romans, and have 
cast us into prison ; and now do they thrust us out 
privily ? nay verily ; but let them come themselves, 
and fetch us out. 

38 And the serjeants told these words unto the 
magistrates : and they feared, when they heard that 
they were Romans. 

39 u And they came and besought them, and brought 
them out, and desired them to depart out of the city. 

40 And they went out of the prison, and entered 
into the house of Lydia : and when they had seen the 
brethren, they comforted them, and departed. 

CHAP. XVII. 

1 Paul preacheth at Thessalonica, 10 and at Berea: 32 
some mock, others believe. 

NOW when they had passed through Amphipolis 
and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, 
where was a synagogue of the Jews : 

2 a And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto 
them, and three sabbath-days reasoned with them out 
of the scriptures, 

3 b Opening and t alleging, that Christ, must needs 
have suffered, and risen again from the dead ; and that 
this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. 

4 c And some of them believed, and consorted with 
Paul and Silas ; and of the devout Greeks a great 
multitude, and of the chief women not a few. 

5 H But the Jews which believed not, moved with 
envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser 
sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on 



an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and 
sought to bring them out to the people. 

6 d And when they found them not, they drew 
Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, 
crying, These that have turned the world upside down, 
are come hither also ; 

7 e Whom Jason hath received : and these all do 
contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying that there is 
another king, one Jesus. 

8 And they troubled the people, and the rulers of 
the city, when they heard these things. 

9 And when they had taken security of Jason, 
and of the other, they let them go. 

1 IT f And the brethren immediately sent away 
Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming 
thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews. 

1 1 g These were more noble than those in Thes- 
salonica, in that they received the word with all 
readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, 
whether those things were so. 

12 Therefore many of them believed: also of 
honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, 
not a few. 

13 If h But when the Jews of Thessalonica had 
knowledge that the word of God was preached of 
Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up 
the people. 

14 ' And then immediately the brethren sent away 
Paul, to go as it were to the sea : but Silas and 
Timotheus abode there still. 

15 k And they that conducted Paul brought him 
unto Athens : and receiving a commandment unto 
Silas and Timotheus, for to come to him with all 
speed, they departed. 

1 6 IT ' Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, 
his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city 
wholly given to idolatry. 

1 7 m Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with 
the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the 
market daily with them that met with him. 

1 8 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, 
and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, 
What will this babbler say ? other some, He seemeth 
to be a setter forth of strange gods : because he 
preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. 

19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areo- 
pagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, 
whereof thou speakest, is? 

20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our 
ears : we would know therefore what these things 
mean. 

21 (For all the Athenians, and strangers which 
were there, spent their time in nothing else, but either 
to tell or to hear some new thing.) 

22 If Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars-hill, 
and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all 
things ye are too superstitious. 

23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, 
I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UN- 
KNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly 
worship, him declare I unto you. 

24 " God that made the world, and all things 
therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, 
dwelleth not in temples made with hands ; 

25 ° Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as 
though he needed any thing ; seeing he givelh to all, 
life, and breath, and all things ; 

26 p And hath made of one blood all nations of

Paw preacheth at Corinth : 

men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth ; and 
hath determined the times before appointed, and the 
bounds of their habitation ; 

27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they 
might fee! after him, and find him, though he be not 
far from every one of us : 

28 For in him we live, and move, and have our 
being : as certain also of your own poets have said, 
For we are also his offspring. 

29 q Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of 
God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like 
unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's 
device. 

30 r And the times of this ignorance God winked at, 
but now commandeth all men every where to repent : 

31 s Because he hath appointed a day in the which 
he will judge the world in righteousness, by that man 
whom lie hath ordained ; whereof he hath given assu- 
rance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from 
the dead. 

32 If And when they heard of the resurrection of 
the dead, some mocked : and others said, We will

33 So Paul departed from among them.

them. 

CHAP. XVIII. 

3 Paul, labouring with his hands, and preaching at Corinth, 
9 is encouraged in a vision, fyc. 

AFTER these things, Paul departed from Athens, 
and came to Corinth : 

2 a And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born 
in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Pris- 
cilla ; (because that Claudius had commanded all 

2Tim.4,i9. Jews to depart from Rome;) and came unto them. 

3 b And because he was of the same craft, he abode 
with them, and wrought : for by their occupation they 
were tent-makers. 

4 And he reasoned in the synagogue ever} 7 sabbath, 
and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 

5 e And when Silas and Timotheus were come 
from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and tes- 
tified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 

6 d And when they opposed themselves, and blas- 
phemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, 
Your blood be upon your own heads : I am clean : 
from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. 

7 II And he departed thence, and entered into a 
certain mail's house, named Justus, one that worship- 
ped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 

8 e And Crispus. the chief ruler of the synagogue, 
believed on the Lord, with all his house : and many 
of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were bap- 
tized. 

9 If ' Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by 
a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy 
peace : 

10 g For I am with thee, and no man shall set on 
thee, to hurt thee : for 1 have much people in this city. 

1 1 And he continued there a year and six months, 
teaching the word of God among them. 

12 If And when Gallio was t! deputy of Achaia, 
the Jews made insurrection with one accord against 
Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat, 

13 Saying, This fellow persuaaeth men to worship 
God contrary to the law.

He is accused bejore Gallia. 

14 b And when Paul was now about to open his 
mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter 
of wrong, or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason 
would that I should bear with you : 

1 5 But if it be a question of words and names, and 
of your law, look ye to it ; for I will be no judge of 
such matters. 

16 And he drave them from the judgment-seat. 

17 ! Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief 
ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judg- 
ment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things. 

18 If k And Paul after this tarried there yet a good 
while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and 
sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and 
Aquila ; having shorn his head in Cenchrea : for he 
had a vow. 

19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: 
but he himself entered into the synagogue, and rea- 
soned with the Jews. 

20 When they desired him to tarry longer time 
with them, he consented not ; 

21 ' But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all l ch. in, l. 
means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem : but ^ c ? o ] r ' ^ 3 ]9 
I will return again unto you. if God will. And he Heb. 6," 3. 
sailed from Ephesus. James4,i5. 

22 And when he had landed at Cesarea. and gone a. d. ss. 
up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch. 

23 m And after Ire had spent some time there, he inch. 14^2* 
departed, and went over all the country of Galatia 
and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples. 

24 If D And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at 
Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the 
scriptures, came to Ephesus. 

25 ° This man was instructed in the way of the 
Lord ; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and 
taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only 
the baptism of John. 

26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: 
whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they 
took him unto them, and expounded unto him the 
way of God more perfectly. 

27 p And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, 
the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive 
him : who, when he was come, helped them much 
which had believed through grace: 

28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that pub- 
licity, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. 

CHAP. XIX. 

6 The Holy Ghost given by the laying on <>f Paul's hands 

1 7 Many believe the gospel. 

a A ^^ '* came to pass, that while Apollos was at 

fm*. Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper 

coasts, came to Ephesus ; and finding certain disciples, 

2 b He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy 
Ghost since ye believed ? And they said unto him, 
We have not so much as heard whether there be anv 
Holy Ghost. 

3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye 
baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism, 

4 c Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the < i.i :♦. u.

15 And after those days we took up our carriages, 
and went up to Jerusalem. 

1 fi ' There went with us also certain of the disci- 
ples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason 
of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge. 

17 IT And when we were come to Jerusalem, the 
brethren received us gladly. 

1 8 m And the day following Paul went in with us 
unto James ; and all the elders were present. 

1 9 " And when he had saluted them, he declared 
particularly what things God had wrought among the 
Gentiles by his ministry. 

20 ° And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord ; 
and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many 
thousands of Jews there are which believe ; and they 
are all zealous of the law : 

21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest 
all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake 
Moses, saying, That they ought not to circumcise their 
children, neither to walk after the customs. 

22 What is it therefore ? the multitude must needs 
come together : for they will hear that thou art come. 

23 '' Do therefore this that we say to thee : We have 
four men which have a vow on them ; 

24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and 
be at charges with them, that they may shave their 
heads : and all may know, that those things whereof 
they were informed concerning thee, are nothing, but 
that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest 
the law. 

25 q As touching the Gentiles which believe, we 
have written, and concluded that they observe no such 
thing, save only that they keep themselves from things 
offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, 
and from fornication. 

26 r Then Paul took the men ; and the next day 
purifying himself with them, entered into the temple, 
to signify the accomplishment of the days of purifi- 
cation, until that an offering should be offered for every 
one of them. 

27 IT And when the seven days were almost ended, 
the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in 
the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands 
on him, 

28 3 Crying out, Men of Israel, help : this is the man 
that teacheth all men every where against the people, 
and the law, and this place ; and further, brought 
Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this 
holy place. 

29 ' (For they had seen before with him in the city, 
Trophimus, an Ephesian, whom they supposed that 
Paul had brought into the temple.) 

30 " And all the city was moved, and the people 
ran together : and they took Paul, and drew him out 
of the temple : and forthwith the doors were shut. 

31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came 
unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem 
was in an uproar : 

32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, 
and ran down unto them : and when they saw the 
chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul. 

33 x Then the chief captain came near, and took 
him, and commanded him to be bcv.nd with two chains ; 
and demanded who he was, and what he had done. 

34 And some cried one thing, some another, among 
the multitude : and when he could not know the cer- 
tainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried 
into the castle. 



35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, 
that he was borne of the soldiers, for the violence of 
the people. 

36 y For the multitude of the people followed after, 
crying, Away with him ! 

37 IF And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he 
said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee ? 
who said, Canst thou speak Greek? 

38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these 
days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wil- 
derness four thousand men that were murderers ? 

39 l But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of 
Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city : and 
I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people. 

40 a And when he had given him license, Paul stood 
on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the 
people : and when there was made a great silence, he 
spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying, 

CHAP. XXII. 

1 Paul declareth how he was converted: 25 he escapeth 
scourging, being a Roman citizen. 
EN, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence, 
which I make now unto you. 

2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew 
tongue to them, they kept the more silence : and he 
saith,) 

3 b I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in 
Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city, at 
the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the per- 
fect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous 
toward God, as ye all are this day. 

4 c And I persecuted this way unto the death, bind- 
ing and delivering into prisons both men and women. 

5 ll As also the high priest doth bear me witness, 
and all the estate of the elders : from whom also I 
received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damas- 
cus, to bring them which were there, bound unto 
Jerusalem, for to be punished. 

6 e And it came to pass, that as I made my journey, 
and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, sud- 
denly there shone from heaven a great light round 
about me. 

7 f And i fell unto the ground, and heard a voice 
saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou' me? 

8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord ? And he 
said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou 
persecutest. 

9 s And they that were with me saw indeed the 
light, and were afraid ; but they j] heard not the voice 
of him that spake to me. 

10 h And I said, What shall I do, Lord ? And the 
Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus ; 
and there it shall be told thee of all things which are 
appointed for thee to do. 

1 1 And when I could not see for the glory of that 
light, being led by the hand of them that were with 
me, I came into Damascus. 

12 ' And one Ananias, a devout man according to 
the law, having a good report of all the Jews which 
dwelt there, 

1 3 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, 
Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour 
I looked up upon him. 

1 4 k And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen 
thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that 
Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. 

1 5 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men, of 
what thou hast seen and heard.

Paul escapetk scourging : CHAP. 

1 6 ' And now, why tamest thou ? arise, and be 
baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name 
of the Lord. 

1 7 m And it came to pass, that when I was come 
again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, 
I was in a trance ; 

18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and 
get thee quickly out of Jerusalem : for they will not 
receive thy testimony concerning me. 

1 9 n And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned 
and beat in every synagogue them that believed on 
thee : 

20 ° And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was 
shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his 
death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. 

21 p And he said unto me, Depart : for I will send 
thee far hence, unto the Gentiles. 

22 IT C1 And they gave him audience unto this word, 
and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with 
such a fellow horn the earth ; for it is not fit that he 
should live. 

23 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, 
and threw dust into the air, 

24 r The chief captain commanded him to be brought 
into the castle, and bade that he should be examined 
by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried 
so against him. 

25 3 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said 
unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to 
scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned ? 

26 When the centurion heard that, he went and 
told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou 
doest : for this man is a Roman. 

27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, 
Tell me, art thou a Roman ? He said. Yea. 

23 And the chief captain answered, With a great 
sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But 
I was free born. 

29 Then straightway they departed from him whk 
should have || examined him : and the chief captain 
also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman 
and because he had bound him. 

30 On the morrow, because he would have known 
the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, 
he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief 
priests and all their council to appear, and brought 
Paul down, and set him before them.

1 Paul pleadeth his cause: 7 dissension among his accusers : 
10 he is again imprisoned: 23 he is sent to Felix the 

governor 
a A ^^ Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, 

J-jL Men and brethren, I have lived in all good 
conscience before God until this day. 

2 b And the high priest Ananias commanded them 
that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. 

3 c Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite 
thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me 
after the law, and commandest me to be smitten con- 
trary to the law ? 

■1 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's 
high priest ? 

5 u Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he 
was the high priest : for it is written, Thou shalt not 
speak evil of the ruler of thy people. 

6 e But when Paul perceived that the one part 
were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out 
in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, 




XXIII. The Jews conspire against h?m 

the son of a Pharisee : of the hope and resurrection of 
the dead I am called in question. 

7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissen- 
sion between the Pharisees and the Sadducees : and 
the multitude w;.s divided. 

8 f For the Sadducees say that there is no resur- f Mat. 22, 
rection, neither angel nor spirit: but the Pharisees M arkl2 i 8 

COnfeSS both. Luke2<),'27! 

9 E And there arose a great cry : and the scribes g ch. ;., 3% 
that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, say- * 9 g^Y' 
ing, We find no evil in this man : but if a spirit or an 17, 18. &2S, 
angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God. 25.&26.3J. 

10 And when there arose a great dissension, the 
chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pull- 
ed in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go 
down, and to take him by force from among them, 
and to bring him into the castle. 

1 1 IT h And the night following, the Lord stood by h ch. is, 9 
him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul : for as thou & 19 ' 3 '- 
hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear 
witness also at Rome. 

1 2 ' And when it was day, certain of the Jews > Mat - *<». 
banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, ve „ . 20 30 
saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they 

had killed Paul. 

1 3 And they were more than forty which had made 
this conspiracy. 

1 4 And they came to the chief priests and elders, 
and said, We have bound ourselves under a great 
curse, that we will eat. nothing until we have slain Paul. 

15 k Now therefore ye, with the council, signify to |; <h 2 ">. '• 
the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to- 
morrow, as though ye would inquire something more 
perfectly concerning him : and we, or ever he come 

near, are ready to kill him. 

1 6 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying 111 
wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. 

17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto 
him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief 
captain ; for he hath a certain thing to tell him. 

18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief 
captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto 
him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto 
thee, who hath something to say unto thee. 

19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, 
and went with him aside privately, and asked him, 
What is that thou hast to tell me ? 

20 l And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire 1 vorse is. 
thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to-morrow 
into the council, as though they would inquire some- j| ^ 
what of him more perfectly. 

21 But do not thou yield unto them : for there lie (

27 m This man was taken of the Jews, and should 
have been killed of them : then came I with an army, 
and rescued him, having understood that he was a 
Roman. 

28 n And when I would have known the cause 
wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into 
their council : 

29 ° Whom I perceived to be accused of questions 
of tlieir law, but to have nothing laid to his charge 
worthy of death or of bonds. 

30 p And when it was told me, how that the Jews 
laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and 
gave commandment to his accusers also, to say before 
thee what they had against him. Farewell. 

31 IT Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, 
took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. 

32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go 
with him, and returned to the castle : 

33 Who, when they came to Cesarea, and deliver- 
ed the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also 
before him. 

34 And when the governor had read the letter, he 
asked of what province he was. And when he under- 
stood that he was of Cilicia ; 

35 q I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers 
are also come. And he commanded him to be kept 
in Herod's || judgment-hall. 

CHAP. XXIV. 

1 Tertullus accuseth Paul: 10 he answereth for himself: 24 

preacheth Christ to the governor and his wife : 27 is left 

in prison. 

a A ND after five days, Ananias the high priest de- 

J^L scended with the elders, and with a certain 

orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor 

against Paul. 

2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began 
to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy 
great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done 
unto this nation by thy providence, 

3 We accept it always, and in all places, most 
noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 

4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious 
unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of 
thy clemency a few words. 

5 b For we have found this man a t pestilent felloic, 
and a mover of sedition among all the Jews through- 
out the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the 
Nazarenes : 

6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: 
whom we took, and would have judged according to 
our law. 

7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and 
with great violence took him away out of our hands, 

8 c Commanding his accusers to come unto thee : 
by examining of whom, thyself mayest take know- 
ledge of all these things whereof we accuse him. 

9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these 
things were so. 

10 IT Then Paul, after that the governor had beck- 
oned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I 
know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto 
this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself: 

1 1 d Because that thou mayest understand, that 
there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jeru- 
salem for to worship. 

1 2 e And they neither found me in the temple dis- 
puting with any man, neither raising up the people, 
neither in the synagogues, nor in the city : 



13 Neither can they prove the things whereof the> 
now accuse me. 

1 4 f But this I confess unto thee, that after the way 
which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my 
fathers, believing all things which are written in the 
law and the prophets ; 

15 s And have hope toward God, which they them- 
selves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of 
the dead, both of the just and unjust. 

16 h And herein do I exercise myself, to have 
always a conscience void of offence toward God and 
toward men. 

1 7 ' Now after many years, I came to bring alms 
to my nation, and offerings. 

1 8 k Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me 
purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor 
with tumult : 

1 9 l Who ought to have been here before thee, and 
object, if they had aught against me. 

20 Or else let these same here say, if they have 
found any evil-doing in me, while I stood before the 
council ; 

2 1 m Except it be for this one voice, that I cried 
standing among them, Touching the resurrection of 
the dead, 1 am called in question by you this day. 

22 IF And when Felix heard these things, having 
more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, 
and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come 
down, I will know the uttermost of your matter. 

23 n And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, 
and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid 
none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him. 

24 II And after certain days, when Felix came with 
his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for 
Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. 

25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temper- 
ance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and 
answered, Go thy way for this time ; when I have a 
convenient season, I will call for thee. 

26 He hoped also that money should have been 
given him of Paul, that he might loose him : wherefore 
he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. 

27 ° But after two years, Porcius Festus came into 
Felix' room : and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a 
pleasure, left Paul bound. 

CHAP. XXV. 

2 TTie Jews accuse Paul before Festus : 8 he answereth for 
himself and appealeth unto Cesar, $-c. 

NOW when Festus was come into the province, 
after three days he ascended from Cesarea to 
Jerusalem. 

2 a Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews 
informed him against Paul, and besought him, 

3 b And desired favour against him, that he would 
send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to 
kill him. 

4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept 
at Cesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly 
thither. 

5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you 
are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if 
there be any v/ickedness in him. 

6 And when he had tarried among them more than 
ten days, he went down unto Cesarea ; and the next 
day sitting in tne judgment-seat, commanded Paul to 
be brought. 

7 And when he was come, the Jews which came 
down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid

many and grievous complaints against Paul, which 
they could not prove* 

8 c While he answered for himself, Neither against 
the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor 
yet against Cesar, have I offended any thing at all. 

9 But Fcstus, wining to do the Jews a pleasure, 
answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusa- 
lem, and there be judged of these things before me? 

10 Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar's judgment- 
seat, where I ought to be judged : to the Jews have I 
done no wrong, as thou very well knowest. 

1 1 d For if I be an offender, or have committed 
any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die ; but if 
there be none of these things whereof these accuse 
me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal 
unto Cesar. 

1 2 IT Then Festus, when he had conferred with the 
council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Cesar 1 
unto Cesar shalt thou go. 

1 3 And after certain days, king Agrippa and Ber- 
nice came unto Cesarea, to salute Festus. 

1 4 e And when they had been there many days, 
Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, 
There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix : 

1 5 f About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the 
chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed vie, 
desiring to have judgment against him. 

16 s To whom I answered, It is not the manner of 
the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he 
which is accused have the accusers face to face, and 
have license to answer for himself concerning the 
crime laid against him. 

1 7 Therefore when they were come hither, without 
any delay, on the morrow I sat on the judgment-seat, 
and commanded the man to be brought forth. 

13 Against whom, when the accusers stood up, 
they brought none accusation of such things as I 
supposed : 

19 h But had certain questions against him of their 
own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, 
whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 

20 And because I doubted of such manner of ques- 
tions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, 
and there be judged of these matters. 

21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved 
unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to 
be kept till I might send him to Cesar. 

22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also 
hear the man myself. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt 
hear him. 

23 IT And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, 
and Bernice, with t great pomp, and was entered into 
the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and 
principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment 
Paul was brought forth. 

24 ' And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men 
which are here present with us, ye see this man, 
about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt 
with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying 
that he ought not to live any longer. 

25 k But when I found that he had committed 
nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath 
appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him. 

26 ' Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto 
t my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth be- 
fore you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, 
that, after examination had, 1 might have somewhat 
to write.

authority and commission from the chief priests : 

13 At mid-day, O king, I saw in the way a light 
from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining 
round about me and them which journeyed with me. 

14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I 
heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the 
Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why pcrsecutest thou 
me 1 it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 

15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord ? And he said, £ u » e J.' ~ 7 - 
I am Jesus whom thou pcrsecutest. 

1G f But rise, and stand upon thy feet : for I have 
appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a 
minister and a witness both of these things which thou 
hast seen, and of those things in the which I will 
appear unto thee ; 

17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the 
Gentiles, unto whom now 1 send thee ; 

18 6 To open their eyes, and to turn thrm from 
darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto 
God; that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and 
inheritance among them which are sanctified, by faith 
that is in me. 

1 9 h Whereupon, O king Agrippa, 1 was not dis- 
obedient unto the heavenly vision : 

20 '' But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and {^ j 7 &

turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. 21.

21 k For these causes the Jews caught me in the 
temple, and went about to kill me. 

22 ' Having therefore obtained help of God, I 
continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and 
great, saying none other tilings than those which the 
prophets and Moses did say should come : 

25 m That Christ should suffer, and that he should 
be the first that should rise from the dead, and should 
shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. 

24 IT n And as he thus spake for himself, Festus 
said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; 
much learning doth make thee mad. 

25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus, 
but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. 

26 ° For the king knoweth of these things, before 
whom also I speak freely : for I am persuaded that 
none of these things are hidden from him ; for this 
thing was not done in a corner. 

27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets ? I 
know that thou believest. 

28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou per- 
suadest me to be a Christian. 

29 p And Paul said, I would to God that not only 
thou, but also ail that hear me this day, were both 
almost, and altogether such as I am, except these 
bonds. 

30 IT q And when he had thus spoken, the king rose 
up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat 
with them. 

31 r And when they were gone aside, they talked 
between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing 
worthy of death or of bonds. 

32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might 
have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto 
Cesar. 

CHAP. XXVII. 

1 Paul, shipping towards Rome, 10/oretelleth the danger of 
the voyage, but is not believed, fyc. 

ND when it was determined that we should sail 
into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other 
prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augus- 
tus' band. 

2 b And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we 
launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia : one 
Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being 
with us. 

3 c And the next day we touched at Sidon. And 
Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty 
to go unto his friends to refresh himself. 

4 And when we had launched from thence, we 
sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 

5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia 
and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 

6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexan- 
dria sailing into Italy ; and he put us therein. 

7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and 
scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not 
suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against 
Salmone ; 

8 And hardly passing it, came unto a place which 
is called, The Fair Havens ; nigh whereunto was the 
city of Lasea. 

9 IT Now when much time was spent, and when 
sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now 
already past, Paul admonished them; 

1 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this 
voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only 
of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

voyage towards Home. 

1 1 Nevertheless, the centurion believed the master 
and the owner of the ship, more than those things 
which were spoken by Paul. 

12 And because the haven was not commodious to 
winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, 
if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and 
there to winter; which is a haven of Crete, and lieth 
toward the south-west and north-west. 

1 3 And when the south wind blew softly, suppo- 
sing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing 
thence, they sailed close by Crete. 

14 But not long after, there arose against it t a \Gr.aturn, 
tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 

1 5 And when the ship was caught, and could not 
bear up into the wind, we let her drive. 

16 And running under a certain island which is 
called Clauda, we had much work to come by the 
boat ; 

1 7 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, 
undergirding the ship ; and fearing lest they should fall 
into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven. 

1 8 And being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, 
the next day they lightened the ship ; 

19 And the third day we cast out with our own 
hands the tackling of the ship. 

20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days 
appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope 
that we should be saved was then taken away. 

21 IF But after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in 
the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have 
hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, 
and to have gained this harm and loss. 

22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer : for 
there shall be no loss of any mail's life among you, 
but of the ship. 

23 d For there stood by me this night the angel of d Rom. 1, 
God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 2 T,ra - l,a 

24 e Saying, Fear not, Paul ; thou must be brought e Gen. n, 
before Cesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them cha^ls.'it. 
that sail with thee. 

25 f Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe fLuUei,45. 
God, that it shall be even as it was told me. k",'". 4 ' 2 o. 

26 E Howbeit, we must be cast upon a certain island. 2Tim.f,i2. 

27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we s c " 28 ' .' 
were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight 
the shipmen deemed that they drew near to sorne 
country : 

28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms : and 
when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, 
and found it fifteen fathoms. 

29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon 
rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and 
wished for the day. 

30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the 
ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, 
under colour as though they would have 1 cast anchors t Gr - <*•«'<* 

, r,,r i • ° J forth the 

OUt OI the TOreship, anchors, 

31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Psai.37'34 
Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. Mat. 3 ^; ?!' 

32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, ver. 22. 24. 
and let her fall off. 

33 h And while the day was coming on, Paul be- 
sought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the 
fourteenth day that ye have tarried, and continued 
fasting, having || taken nothing. 

34 '' Wherefore I pray you to take some meat ; for 
this is for your health : for there shall not a hair fall j^af w,3^

Paul suffereth shipwreck : 

35 k And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, 
and gave thanks to God in presence of them all : and 
when he had broken it, he began to eat. 

36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also 
took some meat. 

37 1 And we were in all in the ship, two hundred 
threescore and sixteen souls. 

38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened 
the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. 

39 m And when it was day, they knew not the land : 
but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into 
the which they were minded, if it were possible, to 
thrust in the ship. 

40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they 
committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the 
rudder-bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, 
and made toward shore. 

41 n And falling into a place where two seas met, 
they ran the ship aground ; and the forepart stuck fast, 
and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was 
broken with the violence of the waves. 

42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, 
lest any of them should swim out, and escape. 

43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept 
them from their purpose ; and commanded that they 
which could swim should cast themselves first into the 
sea, and get to land : 

44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken 
pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, thai they 
escaped all safe to land. 

CHAP. XXVIII. 

1 Paul and company entertained by the barbarians : 8 he 

healeth many in the island, fyc. 
a A ND when they were escaped, then they knew 
J\- that the island was called Melita. 

2 h And the barbarous people shewed us no little 
kindness : for they kindled a fire, and received us every 
one, because of the present rain, and because of the 
cold. 

3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, 
and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the 
heat, and fastened on his hand. 

4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast 
hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No 
doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath 
escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. 

5 c And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt 
no harm. 

6 d Howbeit they looked when he should have 
swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly : but after they 
had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to 
him, they changed their minds, and said that he was 
a god. 

7 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief 
man of the island, whose name was Publius; who re- 
ceived us, and lodged us three days courteously. 

8 e And it came to pass, that the father of Publius 
lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody flux : to whom 
Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, 
and healed him. 

9 So when this was done, others also, which had 
diseases in the island, came, and were healed : 

10 f Who also honoured us with many honours ; 
and when we departed, they laded us with such things

days. 

13 And from thence we fetched a compass, and 
came to Rhegium : and after one day the south wind 
blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli : 

1 4 Where we found brethren, and were desired to 
tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward 
Rome. 

15 And from thence, when the brethren heard of 
us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum, and 
the Three Taverns : whom when Paul saw, he thanked 
God, and took courage. 

16 s And when we came to Rome, the centurion gch. 24. & 
delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard : 27, 3- 
but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a 
soldier that kept him. 

17 h And it came to pass, that after three days Paul 
called the chief of the Jews together : and when they 
were come together, he said unto them, Men and 
brethren, though I have committed nothing against 
the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I de- 
livered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the 
Romans : 

1 8 ' Who, when they had examined me, would 
have let me go, because there was no cause of death ^i™'™ 
in me. 

19 k But when the Jews spake against it, I was 
constrained to appeal unto Cesar; not that I had aught 
to accuse my nation of. 

20 J For this cause therefore have I called for you, 
to see you, and to speak with you : because that for 
the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. 

21 And they said unto him, We neither received l^o*' 16, 
letters out of Judea concerning thee, neither any of Phil! l, 13. 
the brethren that came, shewed or spake any harm 

of thee. 

22 m But we desire to hear of thee what thou think- 
est : for as concerning this sect, we know that every 
where it is spoken against. 

23 n And when they had appointed him a day, there 
came many to him into his lodging ; to whom he ex- 
pounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading 
them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, 
and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. 

24 ° And some believed the things which were 
spoken, and some believed not. 

25 And when they agreed not among themselves, 
they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word ; 
Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto 
our fathers, 

26 p Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing piso. 6, 9 
ye shall hear, and shall not understand ; and seeing Kzik.'nl'z. 
ye shall see, and not perceive : Mai. i.;,'i 1. 

27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and Mark 4, is. 
their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they .m,,, u' «j 
closed ; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear 
with their ears, and understand with their heart, and 
should be converted, and I should heal them. 

28 1 Be it known therefore unto you, that the sal- 
vation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they 
will hear it. 

29 And when he had said these words, the Jews 
departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. 

30 IT And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own 
hired house, and received all that came in unto him, 

31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching 
those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with 
all confidence, no man forbidding him.

CHAP. I. 

1 Paul commendeth to the Romans his calling : 16 he sheweth 
that the gospel is for the justification of all men through 
faith. 

AUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an 
apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 

2 b Which he had promised afore by his prophets in 
the holy scriptures, 

3 c Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which 
was made of the seed of David according to the flesh ; 

4 u And declared to be the Son of God with power, 
according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection 
from the dead : 

5 e By whom we have received grace and apostle- 
ship for obedience to the faith among all nations, for 
his name : 

6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus 
Christ : 

7 f To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called 
to be saints : Grace to you, and peace, from God our 
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

8 g First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ 
for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the 
whole world. 

9 h For God is my witness, whom I serve with my 
spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I 
make mention of you always in my prayers ; 

10 ' Making request, if by any means now at length 
I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God, 
to come unto you. 

1 1 k For I long to see you, that I may impart unto 
you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be 
established : 

1 2 ' That is, that I may be comforted together with 
you by the mutual faith both of you and me. 

1 3 m Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, 
that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was 
let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you 
also, even as among other Gentiles. 

14 n I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the Bar- 
barians, both to the wise and to the unwise. 

1 5 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach 
the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 

16° For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ : 
for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one 
that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the 
Greek. 

1 7 p For therein is the righteousness of God revealed 
from faith to faith : as it is written, The just shall live 
by faith. 

1 8 •» For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven 
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, 
who hold the truth in unrighteousness : 

1 9 * Because that which may be known of God is 
manifest in them ; for God hath shewed it unto them. 

20 8 For the invisible things of him from the crea- 
tion of the world are clearly seen, being understood 
by the things that are made, even his eternal power 
and Godhead: so that they are without excuse. 

21 l Because that, when they knew God, they glo- 
rified him not as God, neither were thankful, but be- 
came vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart 
was darkened : 

22 u Professing themselves to be wise, they became 
fools, 

23 * And changed the glory of the incorruptible 



God into an image made like to corruptible man, and 
to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping tilings. 

24 y Wherefore God also gave them up to unclean- 
ness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dis- 
honour their own bodies between themselves : 

25 z Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and 
worshipped and served the creature |j more than the 
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 

26 a For this cause God gave them up unto vile af- 
fections : for even their women did change the natural 
use into that which is against nature : 

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural 
use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward 
another; men with men working that which is un- 
seemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense 
of their error which was meet. 

28 b And even as they did not like to retain God in 
their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate 
mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornica- 
tion, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness ; full of 
envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, 
boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to pa- 
rents, 

31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, with- 
out natural affection, implacable, unmerciful : 

32 c Who knowing the judgment of God, that they 
which commit such things are worthy of death, not 
only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do 
them. 

CHAP. II. 

1 They who condemn sin in others, and do the like themselves, 
are inexcusable, whether Jews or Gentiles. 17 The Jews, 
sinning against boasted light, doubly guiliy. 

a rglHEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, 
JL whosoever thou art that judgest ; for wherein 
thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for 
thou that judgest, doest the same things. 

2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is ac- 
cording to truth, against them which commit such 
things. 

3 b And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest 
them which do such things, and doest the same, that 
thou shalt escape the judgment of God ? 

4 c Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and 
forbearance, and long-suffering ; not knowing that the 
goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance. 

5 d But after thy hardness and impenitent heart, 
treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of 
wrath, and revelation of the righteous judgment of God ; 

6 e Who will render to every man according to his 
deeds : 

7 To them, who, by patient continuance in well- 
doing, seek for glory and honour and immortality, 
eternal life : 

8 f But unto them that are contentious, and do not 
obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness ; indignation 
and wrath, 

9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man 
thatdoeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile: 

10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man 
that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the 
Gentile ; 

1 1 g For there is no respect of persons with God. 

12 h For as many as have sinned without law, shall

also perish without law : and as many as have sinned 
in the law, shall be judged by the law; 

13 ' (For not the hearers of the law are just before 
God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 

1 4 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, 
do by nature the things contained in the law, these, 
having not the law, are a law unto themselves : 

15 Which shew the work of the law written in 
their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and 
their thoughts the mean while accusing, or else ex- 
cusing one another ;) 

16 k In the day when God shall judge the secrets 
of men, by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. 

1 7 ' Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in 
the law, and makest thy boast of God, 

1 8 m And knowest his will, and approvest the things 
that are more excellent, being instructed out of the 
law, 

19 "And art confident that thou thyself art a guide 
of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 

20 ° An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, 
which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in 
the law : 

21 ^Thou therefore which teachest another, teach- 
est thou not thyself? thou that preachest, A man 
should not steal, dost thou steal ? 

22 i Thou that sayest, A man should not commit 
adultery, dost thou commit adultery ? thou that ab- 
horrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege ? 

23 r Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through 
breaking the law dishonourest thou God ? 

24 s For the name of God is blasphemed among the 
Gentiles through you, as it is written. 

25 * For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep 
the law : but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy cir- 
cumcision is made uncircumcision. 

26 u Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the right- 
eousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be 
counted for circumcision ? 

27 x And shall not uncircumcision which is by na- 
ture, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter 
and circumcision dost transgress the law ? 

28 y For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly ; 
neither is that circumcision which is outward in the 
flesh : 

29 z But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly ; and 
circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not 
in the letter ; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

some. 20 None justified by the law, but all by God's grace 
through faith in Christ without difference, fyc. 

a TLMT'HAT advantage then hath the Jew? or what 
¥ T profit is there of circumcision ? 

2 b Much every way : chiefly, because that unto 
them were committed the oracles of God. 

3 c For what, if some did not believe ? shall their 
unbelief make the faitli of God without effect ? 

4 d God forbid : yea, let God be true, but every 
man a liar ; as it is written, That thou mightest be 
justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when 
thou art judged.

eousness of God, what shall we say ? Js God unright- 
eous who taketh vengeance? (1 speak as a man.)

ITI, Pv . Qf the Jews' prerogative. 

through my lie unto his glory, why yet am I also 
judged as a sinner ? 

8 s And not rather (as we be slanderously reported, 
and as some affirm that we say) Let us do evil, that 
good may come ? whose damnation is just. 

9 h What then? are we better than they 1 No, in i>Gai. 3, u 
no wise : for we have before proved both Jews and 
Gentiles, that they are all under sin ; 

10 'As it is written, There is none righteous, no, ^Geo. 5, u 
not one : 

1 1 There is none that understandeth, there is none 
that seeketh after God. 

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are to- 
gether become unprofitable ; there is none that doeth 
good, no, not one. 

1 3 k Their throat is an open sepulchre : with their 
tongues they have used deceit ; the poison of asps is 
under their lips : 

14 ' Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 

1 5 m Their feet are swift to shed blood : 

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 

1 7 And the way of peace have they not known : 

18 n There is no fear of God before their eyes, 

1 9 ° Now we know, that what things soever the 
law saith, it saith to them who are under tha law ; 
that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world f*^ is. & 
may become guilty before God. 

20 p Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall 
no flesh be justified in his sight : for by the law is the 
knowledge of sin. 

21 q But now the righteousness of God without the 
law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the 
prophets ; 

22 r Even the righteousness of God, which is by 
faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that 
believe : for there is no difference : 

23 s For all have sinned, and come short of the 
glory of God ; 

24 ' Being justified freely by his grace, through the 
redemption that is in Jesus Christ : 

25 u Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation 
through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness jJF'jj'; 
for the remission of sins that are past, through the 
forbearance of God ; 

26 To declare, I say, at this time, his righteousness: 
that he might be just, and the justifier of him which 
believeth in Jesus. 

27 x Where is boasting then ? It is excluded. By 
what law ? of works ? Nay ; but by the law of faith. 

28 y Therefore we conclude that a man is justified 
by faith without the deeds of the law. 

29 7 - Is he the God of the Jews only ? is he not also 
of the Gentiles ? Yes, of the Gentiles also : 

30 a Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the 
circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through 
faith. 

31 b Do we then make void the law through faith ? ^ft^u 
God forbid : yea, we establish the law.

chap, n , 6. ; righteousness. 

d«pter 2 5,'l 6 f Even as David also describeth the blessedness 
fPs.32,i|2. of the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness 
without works, 

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are 
forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not 
impute sin. 

9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumci- 
sion only, or upon the uncircumcision also ? for we say 
that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. 

10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in 
circumcision, or in uncircumcision ? Not in circum- 
cision, but in uncircumcision. 

1 1 s And he received the sign of circumcision ; a 
seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had, yet 
being uncircumcised ; that he might be the father of 
all them that believe, though they be not circumcised ; 
that righteousness might be imputed unto them also : 

1 2 And the father of circumcision to them who are 
not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the 
steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he 
had, being yet uncircumcised. 

1 3 h For the promise, that he should be the heir of 
the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed through 
the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 

14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith 
is made void, and the promise made of none effect : 

1 5 J Because the law worketh wrath : for where no 
law is, there is no transgression. 

16 k Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by 
grace ; to the end the promise might be sure to all the 
seed ; not to that only which is of the law, but to that 
also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the 
father of us all, 

17 ' (As it is written, I have made thee a father of 
many nations,) before him whom he believed, even 
God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those 
things which be not as though they were. 

1 8 m Who against hope believed in hope, that he 
might become the father of many nations, according 
to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 

19 "And being not weak in faith, he considered not 
his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred 
years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb : 

20 ° He staggered not at the promise of God through 
unbelief ; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God ; 

21 p And being fully persuaded that what he had 
promised, he was able also to perform. 

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for right- 
eousness. 

23 q Now it was not written for his sake alone, 
that it was imputed to him ; 

24 r But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, 
if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord 
from the dead ; 

25 s Who was delivered for our offences, and was 
raised again for our justification. 

CHAP. V. 

1 Being justified by faith, we have peace with God. 12 Sin 
and death came by Adam, 17 righteousness and life by 
Jesus Christ. 

THEREFORE, being justified by faith, we have 
peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 b By whom also we have access by faith into 
this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of 
the glory of God. 

3 c And not only so, but we glory in tribulations 
also : knowing that tribulation worketh patience ; 

4 d And patience, experience ; and experience, 
hope ; 

5 e And hope maketh not ashamed ; because the 
love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy 
Ghost, which is given unto us. 

6 f For when we were yet without strength, in due 
time Christ died for the ungodly. 

7 g For scarcely for a righteous man will one die ; 
yet peradventure for a good man some would even 
dare to die. 

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in 
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 

9 h Much more then, being now justified by his 
blood, w r e shall be saved from wrath through him. 

1 ' For if, when we were enemies, we were recon- 
ciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, 
being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 

1 1 And not only so, but we also joy in God, through 
our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now re- 
ceived the atonement. 

12 k Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into 
the world, and death by sin ; and so death passed 
upon all men, for that all have sinned : 

13 ' (For until the law, sin was in the world : but 
sin is not imputed when there is no law. 

14 m Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to 
Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the 
similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure 
of him that was to come. 

15" But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. 
For if through the offence of one many be dead ; 
much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, 
which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded 
unto many. 

1 6 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the 
gift : for the judgment was by one to condemnation ; 
but the free gift is of many offences unto justifi- 
cation. 

17° For if by one man's offence death reigned by 
one ; much more they which receive abundance of 
grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in 
life by one, Jesus Christ :) 

18 Therefore, as by the offence of one judgment 
came upon all men to condemnation ; even so by the 
righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men 
unto justification of life. 

1 9 p For as by one man's disobedience many were 
made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many 
be made righteous. 

20 i Moreover, the law entered, that the offence 
might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did 
much more abound : 

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so 
might grace reign, through righteousness, unto eternal 
life, by Jesus Christ our Lord. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 We must not live in sin, 2 for we are dead unto it ; 
12 nor let sin reign in us. 21 The end and wages of sin 
is death, fyc. 

HAT shall we say then ? Shall we continue 
in sin, that grace may abound ? 
2 b God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to 
sin, live any longer therein ?

3 c Know ye not, that so many of us as were bap- 
tized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death ? 

4 d Therefore we are buried with him by baptism 
into death ; that like as Christ was raised up from the 
dead by the glory of the father, even so we also 
should walk in newness of life. 

5 e For if we have been planted together in the 
likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness 
of his resurrection : 

6 f Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with 
him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that 
henceforth we should not serve sin. 

7 g For he that is dead is freed from sin. 

8 h Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that 
we shall also live with him : 

9 ' Knowing that Christ, being raised from the 
dead, dieth no more ; death hath no more dominion 
over him. 

10 k For in that he died, he died unto sin once : 
but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 

1 1 ' Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead 
indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus 
Christ our Lord. 

12 m Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal 
body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 

13 n Neither yield ye your members as instruments 
of unrighteousness unto sin : but yield yourselves unto 
God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your 
members as t instruments of righteousness unto God. 

14 "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for 
ye are not under the law, but under grace. 

15 p What then? Shall we sin, because we are 
not under the law, but under grace ? God forbid. 

16 'i Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves 
servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye 
obey ; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience 
unto righteousness ? 

1 7 r But God be thanked, that ye were the servants 
of sin : but ye have obeyed from tin; heart that form 
of doctrine which was delivered you. 

1 8 s Being then made free from sin, ye became the 
servants of righteousness. 

19 I speak after the manner of men, because of 
the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded 
your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity. 
unto iniquity ; even so now yield your members ser- 
vants to righteousness, unto holiness. 

20 l For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were 
free from righteousness. 

21 u What fruit had ye then in those limits whereof 
ye are now ashamed ? for the end of those tilings is 
death. 

22 x But now being made free from sin. and become 
servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness ; and 
the end, everlasting life. 

23 y For the wages of sin is death ; but the gift of 
God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

CHAP. VI [. 

1 A'o law hath power over a man longer than he liveth. 

7 The law is not sin, 12 but holy, just, and good. 
a lZ~^OW ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them 
Jt\. that know the law,) how that the law hath 
dominion over a man as long as he liveth ? 

2 b For the woman which hath a husband is bound 
by the law to her husband, so long as he liveth ; but 
if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of 
the husband. 

3 c So then, if, while her husband liveth, she be 



married to another man, she shall be called an adul- 
teress : but if her husband be dead, she is free from 
that law ; so that she is no adulteress, though she be 
married to another man. 

4 '' Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become 
dead to the law by the body of Christ ; that ye should 
be married to another, even to him who is raised from 
the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 

5 e For when we were in the flesh, the motions of 
sins, which were by the law, did work in our members, 
to bring forth fruit unto death. 

6 f But now we are delivered from the law, that 
being dead wherein we were held ; that we should 
serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of 
the letter. 

7 6 What shall we say then? Is the law sin ? God 
forbid. Nay, 1 had not known sin, but by the law : 
for I had not known lust, except the law had said, 
Thou shalt not covet. 

8 h But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, 
wrought in me all maimer of concupiscence. For 
without the law, sin was dead. 

9 ' For I was alive without the law once : but 
when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 

1 k And the commandment, which was ordained 
to life, I found to be unto death. 

1 1 ! For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, 
deceived me, and by it slew me. 

1 2 m Wherefore the law is holy ; and the command- 
ment holy, and just, and good. 

13" Was then that which is good made death unto 
me ? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, 
working death in me by that which is good ; that sin 
by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 

1 4 ° For we know that the law is spiritual ; but I 
am carnal, sold under sin. 

1 5 p For that which I do, I t allow not : for what 
I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 

1G U then I do that which 1 would not, I consent 
unto the law that it is good. 

1 7 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that 
dwelleth in me. 

1 8 '» For 1 know that in me (that is, in my flesh) 
dwelleth no good thing : for to will is present with me ; 
but how to perform that which is good I find not. 

1 9 For the good that I would, I do not : but the 
evil which I would not, that I do. 

20 Now if 1 do that 1 would not, it is no more I 
that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 

21 I find then a law, that, when I tyould do good, 
evil is present with me. 

22 r For I delight in the law of God after the inward 
man : X 

23 s But I see another law in my numbers, warring 
against the law of my mind, and bringing me into 
captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 

24 O wretched man that I am ! who shall deliver 
me from the body of this death 1 

25 l l thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, 
but with the flesh the law of sin.

Of the Jlesh and the Spirit. ROMANS. 

2 b For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus 
hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 

3 c For what the law could not do, in that it was 
weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in 
the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin 
in the flesh : 

4 That the righteousness of the law might be ful- 
filled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the 
Spirit. 

5 d For they that are after the flesh, do mind the 
things of the flesh ; but they that are after the Spirit, 
the things of the Spirit. 

G e For to be carnally minded is death ; but to be 
spiritually minded is life and peace : 

7 f Because the 'arnal mind is enmity against God ; 
for it is not subject o the law of God, neither indeed 
can be. 

8 g So then they that are in the flesh cannot please 
God. 

9 h But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if 
so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any 
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 

10 ' And if Christ be in you, the body is dead 
because of sin ; but the Spirit is life because of right- 
eousness. 

1 1 k But if the Spirit of him, that raised up Jesus 
from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised up Christ 
from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by 
his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

12 'Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the 
flesh, to live after the flesh. 

1 3 m For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die : but 
if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the 
body, ye shall live. 

14 n For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, 
they are the sons of God. 

15° For ye have not received the spirit ofbondage 
again to fear ; but ye have received the Spirit of 
adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 

1 6 p The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, 
that we are the children of God : 

17 q And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and 
joint-heirs with Christ ; if so be that we suffer with 
him, that we may be also glorified together. 

1 8 r For I reckon that the sufferings of this present 
time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which 
shall be revealed in us. 

19 s For the earnest expectation of the creature 
waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 

20 * For the creature was made subject to vanity, 
not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected 
the same in hope ; 

21 Because the creature itself also shall be de- 
livered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious 
liberty of the children of God. 

22 u For we know that the whole creation groaneth 
and travaileth in pain together until now. 

23 x And not only they, but ourselves also, which 
have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves 
groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, 
the redemption of our body. 

24 y For we are saved by hope : but hope that is 
seen, is not hope : for what a man seeth, why doth he 
yet hope for ?

The ground of Christian hope 

but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with 
groanings which cannot be uttered. 

27 b And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what 
is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh interces- 
sion for the saints according to the will of God. 

28 c And we know that all tilings work together for 
good to them that love God, to them who are the 
called according to his purpose. 

29 d For whom he did foreknow, he also did pre- 
destinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that 
he might be the first-born among many brethren. 

30 e Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he 
also called : and whom he called, them he also justified : £*£* 
and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Ephvi,5.Vt 

3 1 f What shall we then say to these things ? If God c„j!' , 3, ?£ 
be for us, who can be against us ? hIiT'/V 9 " 

32 & He that spared not his own Son, but delivered i p?W i/a. 
him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely key!" 1 l 
give us all things ? 

33 h Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's 
elect? 7/ is God that justifieth. 

_ 34 ' Who is he that condemneth ? It is Christ that 
died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the 
right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 
35 k Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ? 
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, 
or nakedness, or peril, or sword ?

1 1 l (For the children being not yet born, neither 
•having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God, 
according to election, might stand, not of works, but 
of him that calleth ;) 

1 2 m It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the 
younger : 

13 n As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau 
have I hated. 

14 ° What shall we say then 1 Is there unrighteous- 
ness with God ? God forbid. 

1 5 p For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on 
whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion 
on whom 1 will haVe compassion. 

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him 
that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 

1 7 q For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for 
this same purpose have 1 raised thee up, that I might 
shew my power in thee, and that my name might be 
declared throughout all the earth. 

1 8 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have 
mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 

1 9 r Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet 
find fault ? for who hath resisted his will ? 

20 s Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest 
against God ? Shall the thing formed say to him that 
formed it, Why hast thou made me thus ? 

21 *■ Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the 
same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and 
another unto dishonour ? 

22 u What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and 
to make his power known, endured with much long- 
suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction ; 

23 x And that he might make known the riches of 
his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore 
prepared unto glory, 

24 y Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews 
only, but also of the Gentiles ? 

25 z As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my 
people, which were not my people ; and her beloved, 
which was not beloved. 

26 a And it shall come to pass, that in the place 
where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people ; 
there shall they be called the children of the living God 

27 b Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though 
the number of the children of Israel be as the saud of 
the sea, a remnant shall be saved. 

28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in 
righteousness : because a short work will the Lord 
make upon the earth. 

29 c And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of 
Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, 
and been made like unto Gomorrha. 

30 d What shall we say then ? That the Gentiles, 
which followed not after righteousness, have attained to 
righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 

31 e But Israel, which followed after the law of right- 
eousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 

32 f Wherefore ? Because they sought it not by 
faith, but as it were by the works of the law : for they 
stumbled at that stumbling-stone ; 

33 g As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stum- 
bling-stone and rock of offence : and whosoever be- 
lieveth on him shall not be ashamed. 

CHAP. X. 

1 Pant's prayer for Israel, who are misled by blind zeal. 

1 1 Salvation open to all that believe, fyc. 
* "ORETHREN, my heart's desire and prayer to 
JD God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 



2 h For I bear them record, that they have a zeal 
of God, but not according to knowledge. 

3 c For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, 
and going about to establish their own righteousness, 
have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness 
of God. 

4 d For Christ is the end of the law for righteous- 
ness to every one that believeth. 

5 e For Moses described, the righteousness which 
is of the law, That the man wliich doeth those things 
shall live by them. 

6 f But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh 
on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend 
into heaven ? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep ? (that is, 
to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 

8 g But what saith it ? The word is nigh thee, even 
in thy mouth, and in thy heart : that is, the word of 
faith wliich we preach ; 

9 h That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the 
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God 
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteous- 
ness; and with the mouth confession is made unto 
salvation. 

1 1 ' For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth 
on him shall not be ashamed. 

12 k For there is no difference between the Jew 
and the Greek : for the same Lord over all is rich 
unto all that call upon him. 

13 ! For whosoever shall call upon the name of the 
Lord shall be saved. 

14 m How then shall they call on him in whom they 
have not believed ? and how shall they believe in him 
of whom they have not beard ? and how shall they 
hear without a preacher ? 

1 5 n And how shall they preach, except they be 
sent ? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of 
them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad 
tidings of good things ! 

16 ° But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For 
Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report ? 

1 7 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by 
the word of God. 

1 8 p But I say, Have they not heard ? Yes, verily, 
their sound went into all the earth, and their words 
unto the ends of the world. 

19 i But I say, Did not Israel know ? First Moses 
saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are 
no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 

20 r But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found 
of them that sought me not ; I was made manifest 
unto them that asked not after me. 

21 s But to Israel he saith, All day long I have 
stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gain- 
saying people. 

CHAP. XI. 

1 A remnant of Israel saved by grace: 7 the blindness of the 
rest prophesied of. 1 7 The Gentiles may not boast against 
them. 

SAY then, Hath God cast away his people? 
God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the 
seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 

2 b God hath not cast away his people which he 
foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of 
Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against 
Israel, saying, 

3 c Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged

down thine altars ; and I am left alone, and they seek 
my life. 

4 d But what saith the* answer of God unto him ? I 
have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who 
have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 

5 e Even so then at this present time also there is 
a remnant according to the election of grace. 

6 f And if by grace, then is it no more of works : 
otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of 
works, then it is no more grace : otherwise work is no 
more work. 

7 6 What then ? Israel hath not obtained that wliich 
he seeketh for ; but the election hath obtained it, and 
the rest were blinded, 

8 '' (According as it is written, God hath given them 
the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, 
and ears that they should not hear ;) unto this day. 

9 'And David saith, Let their table be made a 
snare and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recom 
pense unto them : 

1 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not 
see, and bow down their back always. 

11 k I say then, Have they stumbled that they 
should fall : God forbid : but rather through their fall 
salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke 
them to jealousy. 

12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the 
world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the 
Gentiles, how much more their fulness ? 

13 i For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am 
the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office ; 

14 m If by any means I may provoke to emulation 
them which are my flesh, and might save some of them 

1 5 n For if the casting away of them be the recon 
ciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them 
be, but life from the dead ? 

16 ° For if the first-fruit be holy, the lump is also 
holy ; and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 

1 7 p And if some of the branches be broken off, and 
thou, being a wild olive-tree, wert graffed in among 
them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness 
of the olive-tree ; 

1 8 q Boast not against the branches. But if thou 
boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 

1 % Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken 
off, that I might be graffed in. 

20 r Well ; because of unbelief they were broken 
off; and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, 
but fear : 

21 For if God spared not the natural branches, 
take heed lest he also spare not thee. 

22 s Behold therefore the goodness and severity of 
God: on them which fell, severity ; but toward thee 
goodness; if thou continue in his goodness : otherwise 
thou also shalt be cut off. 

23 t And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, 
shall be graffed in : for God is able to graft" them in 
again. 

24 u For if thou wert cut out of the olive-tree which 
is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature 
into a good olive-tree; how much more shall these, 
which be the natural branches, be grafted into their 
own olive-tree ? 

25 x For I would not brethren, that ye should be 
ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in 
your own conceits ; that blindness in part is happened 
to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his 
judgments, and his ways past finding out !

1 Holiness and conformity to God's will enjoined. 6 Gifts 
to be used for the common benefit. 9 Sundry practical du- 
ties recommended. 19 Revenge specially forbidden. 
BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mer- 
cies of God, that ye present your bodies a living 
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your 
reasonable service. 

2 b And be not conformed to this world : but be ye 
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye 
may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and 
perfect will of God. 

3 c For I say, through the grace given unto me, to 
every man that is among you, not to think of himself 
more highly than he ought to think; but to think so- rTiX.s'.A 
berly, according as God hath dealt to every man the Heb. », 7. 
measure of faith. 

4 d For as we have many members in one body, 
and all members have not the same office ; 

5 e So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and 
every one members one of another. 

6 f Having then gifts differing accoi'ding to the 
grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us 
prophesy according to the proportion of faith ; 

7 s Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering ; or 
he that teacheth, on teaching ; 

8 h Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation : he that 
giveth, let him do it with simplicity ; he that ruleth, 
with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheer- 
fulness. 

9 i Le/ love be without dissimulation. Abhor that 
which is evil ; cleave to that which is good. 

10 k Be kindly affectioned one to another with 
brotherly love ; in honour preferring one another ; 

1 1 l Not slothful in business ; fervent in spirit ; 
serving the Lord ; 

12 m Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation;

bjection to magistrates. CHAP. XIII, XIV 

1 6 q Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind 
not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. 
Be not wise in your own conceits. 

1 7 r Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide 
things honest in the sight of all men. 

18 s If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live 
peaceably with all men. 

1 9 l Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves ; but 
rather give place unto wrath : for it is written, Ven- 
geance is mine ; I will repay, saith the Lord. 

20 u Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him ; 
if he thirst, give him drink : for in so doing thou shalt 
heap coals of fire on his head. 

21 x Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil 
with good. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 Of subjection to magistrates. 8 Love is a debt we always 
owe, and virtually containeth the whole law. 1 1 Against 
gluttony, fyc. 



a | ;" ET every soul be subject unto the higher powers. 
JLi For there is no power but of God : the powers 
that be are ordained of God. 

2 b Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth 
the ordinance of God : and they that resist shall re- 
ceive to themselves damnation. 

3 c For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to 
the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power 1 
do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of 
the same : 

4 d For he is the minister of God to thee for good. 
But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid ; for he 
beareth not the sword in vain : for he is the minister 
of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that 
doeth evil. 

5 e Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only 
for wrath, but also for conscience' sake. 

6 For, for this cause pay you tribute also : for they 
are God's ministers, attending continually upon this 
very thing. 

7 r Bender therefore to all their dues ; tribute to 
whom tribute is due ; custom to whom custom ; fear 
to whom fear ; honour to whom honour. 

8 6 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another : 
for he that lovelh another hath fulfilled the law. 

9 h For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou 
shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not 
bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet ; and if there 
be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended 
in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour 
as thyself. 

10 ' Love worketh no ill to his neighbour : therefore 
love is the fulfilling of the law. 

1 1 k And that, knowing the time, that now it is 
high time to awake out of sleep : for now is our sal- 
vation nearer than when we believed. 

12 ' The night is far spent, the day is at hand : let 
us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us 
put on the armour of light. 

1 3 m Let us walk honestly, as in the day ; not in 
rioting and drunkenness, not. in chambering and wan- 
tonness, not in strife and envying. 

1 4 " But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make 
not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

4 d Who art thou that judgest another man's ser- 
vant ? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, 
he shall be holden up : for God is able to make him 
stand. 

5 e One man esteemeth one day above another : 
another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man 
be fully persuaded in his own mind. 

6 f He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the 
Lord ; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord 
he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the 
Lord ; for he giveth God thanks : and he that eateth 
not, to the Lord he eateth not; and giveth God thanks. 

7 ? For none of us liveth to himself, and no man 
dieth to himself. 

8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord ; and f ^.Ya 
whether we die, we die unto the Lord : whether we 

live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 

9 h For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and 
revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and 
living. 

10 ' But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why 
dost thou set at nought thy brother ? we shall all stand 
before the judgment-seat of Christ. 

1 1 k For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, 
every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall 
confess to God. 

12 ' So then every one of us shall give account of 
himself to God. 

13 m Let us not therefore judge one another any 
more : but judge this rather, that no man put a stum- 
bling-block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. 

14 "1 know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, »»'» 
that there is nothing unclean of itself : but to him that i c 
esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Him. 

15 ° But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, Jj t c ' or 1, 8 ^;, 
now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him & is, 4.' 
with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 

16 p Let not then your good be evil spoken of. 

1 7 1 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink ; 
but righteousness and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 

18 For he that in these things serveth Christ, is 
acceptable to God, and approved of men. 

19 r Let us therefore follow after the tilings which rPsai.w.M 
make for peace, and tilings wherewith one may edify &''r.'. i 
another. 

20 s For meat destroy not the work of God. All 
things indeed are pure ; but it is evil for that man who 
eateth with offence. 

21 ' // is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, 
nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is 
offended, or is made weak. 

22 " Hast thou faith ? have it tc thyself before God. 
Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing 
which hi; allovveth. 

23 x And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, he- 
cause he eateth not of faith : for whatsoever is not of 
faith is sin.

2 b Let every one of us please his neighbour (or his 
good to edification. 

3 c For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it 
is written, The reproaches of them that reproached 
thee fell on me. 

4 d For whatsoever things were written aforetime 
were written for our learning, that we through patience 
and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 

5 e Now the God of patience and consolation grant 
you to be like-minded one toward another, according 
to Christ Jesus ; 

6 f That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify 
God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

7 s Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ 
also received us, to the glory of God. 

8 h Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of 
fJhn'iriM ' tne circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the 
cha P . 5/2. & promises made unto the fathers ; 

9 ' And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his 
mercy ; as it is written, For this cause I will confess 
to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. 

10 k And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with 
his people. 

1 1 ' And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles ; 
and laud him, all ye people. 

12 m And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root 
of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the 
Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. 

13 n Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and 
peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through 
the power of the Holy Ghost. 

1 4 ° And I myself also am persuaded of you, my 
brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with 
all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 

15 p Nevertheless, brethren, 1 have written the 
more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in 
mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God, 

1 6 q That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ 
to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that 
the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, 
being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 

17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through 
Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. 

1 8 r For I will not dare to speak of any of those 
things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make 
the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, 

19 5 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the 
power of the Spirit of God : so that from Jerusalem, 
and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached 
the gospel of Christ. 

20 t Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, 
not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon 
another man's foundation : 

21 u But, as it is written, To whom he was not spoken 
of, they shall see : and they that have not heard shall 
io, i5, unc | er stand. 

22 x For which cause also I have been much hin- 
dered from coming to you. 

23 y But now having no more place in these parts, 
and having a great desire these many years to come 
unto you ; 

24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will 
come to you : for I trust to see you in my journey, and 
to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first 
1 be somewhat filled with your company. 

25 z But now I go unto Jerusalem, to minister unto 
the saints. 

26 a For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and 




ROMANS. Sundry greetings and salutations. 

Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor 
saints which are at Jerusalem. 

27 b It hath pleased them, verily ; and their debtors 
they are. For if the Gentiles have been made par- 
takers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to 
minister unto them in carnal tilings. 

28 c When, therefore, I have performed this, and 
have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into 
Spain. 

29 d And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I 
shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel 
of Christ. 

30 e Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Je- 
sus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye 
strive together with me in your prayers to God for me ; 2Th« 5 . 3, a

praise and thanks to God. 

1 COMMEND unto you Phebe our sister, which is 
a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea : 

2 a That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh 
saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business 
she hath need of you : for she hath been a succourer 
of many, and of myself also. 

3 b Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers in Christ 
Jesus : 

4 c Who have for my life laid down their own 
necks : unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all 
the churches of the Gentiles. 

5 d Likewise greet the church that is in their house. 
Salute my well-beloved Epenetus, who is the first- 
fruits of Achaia unto Christ. 

6 Greet Mary ; who bestowed much labour on us. 

7 c Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and 
my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the 
apostles ; who also were in Christ before me. 

8 Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.

my beloved.

CHAP. I. 

1 Paul, after salutation and thanksgiving, 10 exhorteth to 
unity, 1 1 and reprovcth their dissensions. 26 God, to take 
away boasting, rejecteth the wisdom of the wise. 

a ijAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ 
JL through the will of God, and Sosthenes our 

brother, 

2 b Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to 
them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be 
saints, with all that in everyplace call upon the name 
of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours : 

3 c Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our 
Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 

4 d I thank my God always on your behalf, for 
the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ ; 

5 e That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in 
all utterance, and in all knowledge ; 

6 f Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed 
in you : 

7 g So that ye come behind in no gift ; waiting for 
the t coming of our Lord Jesus Christ : 

8 h Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that 
ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus 
Christ. 

9 ' God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto 
the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 

10 k Now T beseech you, brethren, by the name 
of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same 
thing, and that there be no divisions among you •, but 
that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind 
and in the same judgment. 

1 1 ' For it hath been declared unto me of you, my 
brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, 
that there are contentions among you. 

1 2 m Now this T say, that every one of you saith, 
I am of Paul ; and I of Apollos ; and I of Cephas ; 
and I of Christ. 

13 n Is Christ divided ? was Paul crucified for you ? 
or were ye baptized in the name of Paul ? 

14 ° I thank God that I baptized none of you but 
Crispus and Gaius ; 

15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in 
mine own name. 

'16 p And I baptized also the household of Stepha- 
nas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any 
other. 

17 i For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to 
preach the gospel : not with wisdom of words, lest 
the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 

1 8 r For the preaching of the cross is to them that 



perish foolishness ; but unto us which are saved it is 
the power of God. 

1 9 s For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of 
the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding 
of the prudent. 

20 * Where is the wise ? where is the scribe ? 
where is the disputer of this world ? hath not God 
made foolish the wisdom of this world 1 

21 u For after that, in the wisdom of God, the 
world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by 
the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 

22 x For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks 
seek after wisdom : 

23 y But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews 
a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks foolishness ; 

24 z But unto them which are called, both Jews 
and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom 
of God. 

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than 
men ; and the weakness of God is stronger than 
men. 

26 a For ye see your calling, brethren, how that 
not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, 
not many noble, are called : 

27 b But God hath chosen the foolish things of the 
world, to confound the wise; and God hath chosen 
the weak things of the world, to confound the things 
which are mighty ; 

28 c And base things of the world, and things which 
are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which 
are not, to bring to nought things that are ; 

29 d That no flesh should glory in his presence. 

30 e But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God 
is made unto us wisdom and righteousness, and 
sanctification, and redemption : 

31 f That, according as it is written, He that glo- 
rieth, let him glory in the Lord. 

CHAP. II. 

1 How Paul preached the gospel; 6 which is God's wise 
counsel for men's salvation. 
ND I, brethren, when I came to you, came not 
with excellency of speech or of wisdom, decla- 
ring unto you the testimony of God : 

2 b For I determined not to know any thing among 
you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 

3 c And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, 
and in much trembling. 

4 d And my speech and my preaching was not with 
enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration 
of the Spirit and of power :

wisdom 



Against strife and division. 

5 ° That your faith should not stand in tit 
of men, but in the power of God. 

6 f Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that 
are perfect : yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of 
the princes of this world that come to nought : 

7 s But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, 
even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before 
the world unto our glory : 

8 h Which none of the princes of this world knew : 
for had they known it, they would not have crucified 
the Lord of glory. 

9 • But, as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear 
heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the 
things which God hath prepared for them that love 
him. 

10 k But God hath revealed them unto us by his 
Spirit : for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the 
deep things of God. 

1 1 ' For what man knoweth the things of a man, 
save the spirit of man which is in him ? even so the 
things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 

12 m Now we have received, not the spirit of the 
world, but the Spirit which is of God ; that we might 
know the things that are freely given to us of God. 

1 3 n Which things also we speak, not in the words 
which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy 
Ghost teacheth ; comparing spiritual things with spi- 
ritual. 

14 ° But the natural man receiveth not the things 
of the Spirit of God : for they are foolishness unto 
him : neither can he know them, because they are 
spiritually discerned. 

15 p But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet 
he himself is judged of no man. 

16 q P'or who hath known the mind of the Lord, 
that he may instruct him ? But we have the mind of 
Christ. 

CHAP. HI. 

1 How Paul dealt with weak believers. 5 The most eminent 
preachers only instruments, <$-c. 

ND I, brethren, could net speak unto you, as 
unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto 
babes in Christ. 

2 b l have fed you with milk, and not with meat : 
for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet 
now are ye able. 

3 c For ye are yet carnal : for whereas there is 
among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye 
not carnal, and walk as men 1 

4 J For while one saith, I am of Paul ; and another, 
I am of Apollos ; are ye not carnal ? 

5 e Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but 
ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave 
to every man ? 

6 f I have planted, Apollos watered ; but God gave 
the increase. 

7 s So then neither is he that planteth any thing, 
neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the 
increase. 

8 h Now he that planteth and he that watereth are 
one : and every man shall receive his own reward 
according to his own labour. 

9 - For we are labourers together with God : ye are 
God's husbandry, ye are God's building. 

1 k According to the grace of God which is given 
unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the 
foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let 
every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

flow to account of ministers. 

1 1 5 For other foundation can no man lay than that 
is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 

1 2 m Now if any man build upon this foundation, 
gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble ; 

13 u Every man's work shall be made manifest: 
for the day shall declare it, because it shall be reveal- 
ed by fire ; and the fire shall try every man's work, of «" £"» 
what sort it is. 

1 4 ° If any man's work abide which he hath built 
thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 

15 p If any man's work shall be burned, he shall m. 
suffer loss : but he himself shall be saved ; yet s.^ as cl 
by fire. 

16 i Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, 
and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you ? 

1 7 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall 
God destroy ; for the temple of God is holy, which 
temple ye are. 

18 r Let no man deceive himself. If any man 
among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him 
become a fool, that he may be wise. 

1 9 s For the wisdom of this world is foolishness 
with God : for it is written, He taketh the wise in 
their own craftiness. 

20 { And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of %>ki 21,3a. 
the wise, that they are vain. 

2 1 u Therefore let no man glory in men : for all 
things are yours ; 

22 * Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the 
world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to 
come ; all are yours ; 

23 y And ye are Christ's ; and Christ is God's. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 How to account of Christ's Ministers. 8 To a self-sufficient 
vanity Paul opposeth his own afflicted state, fyc. 
ET a man so account of us, as of the ministers 
of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 

2 b Moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man - c ^ or - \£ 
be found faithful. _ J'*» 

3 c But with me it is a very small thing that I ' 
should be judged of you, or of man's judgment; yea, 
I judge not mine own self: 

4 d For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not 
hereby justified : but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 

5 e Therefore judge nothing before the time, until 
the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden JoTg, 2' & 
things of darkness, and will make manifest the coun- 
sels of the hearts : and then shall every man have 
praise of God. 

6 f And these things, brethren, I have in a figure Mat. 7, i. &. 
transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes ; r^, ,. l6 . 
that ye might learn in us not to think of men above zt^t'Af 
that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up ^-j^io. 
for one against another. f Pr'ov.'3, 7. 

7 e For who maketh thee to differ from another? *£■»,; * % 
and what, hast thou that thou didst not receive ? Now *|. 4.22 * 
if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou 2'cor. 12, 20.

Of the incestuous person. CHAP. V, VI, VII. 

1 1 ' Even unlo this present hour we both hunger 
and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have 
no certain dwelling-place ; 

12 m And labour, working with our own hands: 
being reviled, we bless ; being persecuted, we suffer it ; 

13 " Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as 
the filth of the earth, and are the off-scouring of all 
things unto this day. 

14 "1 write not these things to shame you, but as 
my beloved sons I warn you. 

1 5 p For though ye have ten thousand instructors 
in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers : for, in Christ 
Jesus, I have begotten you through the gospel. 

16 i Wherefore, I beseech you, be ye followers 
of me. 

1 7 r For this cause have I sent unto you Timo- 
theus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the 
Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my 
ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in 
every church. 

1 8 3 Now some are puffed up, as though I would 
not come to you. 

19 t But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord 
will ; and will know, not the speech of them which 
are puffed up, but the power. 

20 u For the kingdom of God is. not in word, but 
in power. 

21 x What will ye ? shall I come unto you with a 
rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness ? 

CHAP. V. 

I Of the incestuous person. 6 Of necessity the old leaven 

must be purged out, «S'C- 

T is reported commonly that there is fornication 

among you, and such fornication as is not so 

much as named among the Gentiles, that one should 

have his father's wife. 

2 b And ye are puffed up, and have not rather 
mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be 
taken away from among you. 

3 c For I verily, as absent in body, but present in 
spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, 
concerning him that hath so done this deed ; 

4 •' In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye 
are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power 
of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

5 "■ To deliver such a one unto Satan for the de- 
struction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in 
the day of the Lord Jesus. 

6 f Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that 
a little leaven leav eneth the whole lump ? 

7 K Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may 
be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even 
Christ our passover is sacrificed for us : 

8 h Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old 
leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wicked- 
ness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and 
truth. 

9 ' I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company 
with fornicators : 

10 k Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this 
world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with 
idolaters ; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 

1 1 ' But now I have written unto you not to keep 
company, if any man that is called a brother be a forni- 
cator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunk- 
ard, or an extortioner ; with such a one no not to eat. 

12 ra For what have I to do to judge them also that 
are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

1 Of bringing controversies before heathen judges 
lawsuits may be avoided. 

ARE any of you, having a matter against another, 
go to law before the unjust, and not before the 
saints ? 

2 a Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the Ua p D s ." ,9, 18 ' 4- 
world ? and if the world shall be judged by you, are Mat. 19,28. 
ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters ? rIv. 2?' 26.' 

3 b Know ye not that we shall judge angels ? how V&'io^ 
much more things that pertain to this life ? ^ jpa 2, 4. 

4 If then ye have judgments of tilings pertaining to Rev. 20, w. 
this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in 
the church. 

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not 
a wise man among you ? no, not one that shall be able c p r . 20, 22. 
to judge between his brethren ? ^uk' e 5 ' 39 

6 c But brother goeth to law with brother, and that *° m 
before the unbelievers. 1 Thess. 4,6, 

7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you ' 
because, ye go to law one with another. Why do yc 
not rather take wrong ? why do ye not rather suffer Eph. 5 
yourselves to be defrauded ? . Vhes.%, & 

8 Nay, you do wrong, and defraud, and that your \^™i%vi 
brethren. 

9 d Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not in- 
herit the kingdom of God ? Be not deceived ; neither 
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effemi- 
nate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor 
revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of 
God. 

1 1 e And such were some of you : but ye are washed, 
but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name 
of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 

12 f All things are lawful unto me, but all things 5! is, :«

but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body Ro 
is not for fornication, but for the Lord ; and the Lord 
for the body. 

14 h And God hath both raised up the Lord, and 
will also raise up us by his own power. 

1 5 ' Know ye not that your bodies are the members 
of Christ ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and 
make them the members of a harlot ? God forbid.

Of marriage, 

2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man 
have his own wife, and let every woman have her own 
husband. 

3 b Let the husband render unto the wife due 
benevolence : and likewise also the wife unto the 
husband. 

4 c The wife hath not power of her own body, but 
the husband : and likewise also the husband hath not 
power of his own body, but the wife. 

5 d Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with 
consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to 
fasting and prayer ; and come together again, that 
Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 

6 e But I speak this by permission, and not of com- 
mandment. 

7 f For I would that all men were even as I myself. 
But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after 
this manner, and another after that. 

8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It 
is good for them if they abide even as I. 

9 E But if they cannot contain, let them marry : for 
it is better to marry than to burn. 

10 h And unto the married I command, yet not I, 
but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her 
husband : 

1 1 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, 
or be reconciled to her husband : and let not the hus- 
band put away his wife. 

1 2 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord : If any 
brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be 
pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 

1 3 ! And the woman which hath a husband that 
believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with 
her, let her not leave him. 

14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the 
wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the 
husband : else were your children unclean ; but now 
are they holy. 

1 5 k But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. 
A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such 
cases : but God hath called us to peace. 

16 ' For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou 
shalt save thy husband ? or how knowest thou, O 
man, whether thou shalt save thy wife ? 

1 7 But as God hath distributed to every man, as 
the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And 
so ordain I in all churches. 

1 8 m Is any man called being circumcised 1 let him 
not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncir- 
cumcision ? let him not be circumcised. 

19 "Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision 
is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of

24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, 
therein abide with God. 

25 3 Now concerning virgins I have no command 
ment of the Lord, yet I give my judgment, as one 
that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful 

26 * I suppose therefore that this is good for the 



and virginity 
that it is good for a man so 



present distress ; / say, 
to be. 

27 Art thou bound unto a wife ? seek not to be 
loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife ? seek not a wife. 

28 u But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned ; 
and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Never- 
theless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I 
spare you. 

29 x But this I say, brethren, the time is short : it 
remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though 
they had none ; 

30 And they that weep, as though they wept not ; 
and they that rejoice

and they that buy, as though they possessed not ; 

31 y And they that use this world, as not abusing. y p«. 30, 7. 
it : for the fashion of this world passeth away. JT^I; 4 

32 z But I would have you without carefulness. James 1,10. 
He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong fp'^ c, x 
to the Lord, how he may please the Lord : & 4, 7. ' * 

33 But he that is married careth for the things that \{^'E> 
are of the world, how he may please his wife. 

34 a There is difference also between a wife and a 
virgin. TJie unmarried woman careth for the things 
of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and 
in spirit : but she that is married careth for the things 
of the world, how she may please her husband. 

35 b And this I speak for your own profit; not that bMat.-6,3i. 
1 may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is £ U j k c s 4 \ J £ 
comely, and that you may attend upon the Lord 21, 34. 
without distraction. 

36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself 
uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of 
her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, 
he sinneth not : let them marry. 

37 Nevertheless he that standeth steadfast in his

heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his 8. 



own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he 
will keep his virgin, doeth well. 

38 c So then, he that giveth her in marriage doeth 
well ; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth 
better. 

39 d The wife is bound by the law as long as her 
husband liveth ; but if her husband be dead, she is at 
liberty to be married to whom she will ; only in the 
Lord. 

40 e But she is happier if she so abide, after my 
judgment : and I think also that I have the Spirit of 
God. 

CHAP. VIII. 

1 Charity preferable to knowledge. 4 Jin idol is nothing to 
those who rightly know God. 
OW as touching things offered unto idols, we 
know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge isa. n 
puffeth up, but charity edifieth. ! 

2 b And if any man think that he knoweth any 
thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 

3 c But if any man love God, the same is known 
of him. 

4 d As concerning therefore the eating of those 
things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we 
know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that 
there is none other God but one. 

5 e For though there be that are called gods, 
whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods Rom. n, 3f> 
many, and lords many,) & il, 3. '

7 g Howbeit there is not in every ma.i that know- 
ledge : for some, with conscience of the idol unto this 
hour, eat it as a thing offered unto an idol ; and their 
conscience being weak is defiled. 

8 h But meat commendeth us not to God : for nei- 
ther, if we eat, are we the better ; neither, if we eat 
not, are we the worse. 

9 ! But take heed lest by any means this liberty of 
yours become a stumbling-block to them that are 
weak. 

1 k For if any man see thee, which hast know- 
ledge, sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the 
conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to 
eat those things which are offered to idols ; 

1 1 ' And through thy knowledge shall the weak 
brother perish, for whom Christ died ? 

12 m But when ye sin so against the brethren, 
and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against 
Christ. 

13° Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, 
1 will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I 
make my brother to offend.

maintenance : 24 he striveth to obtain an incorruptible 
crown. 

a A M I not an apostle ? am I not free ? have I not 
J\. seen Jesus Christ our Lord ? are not you my 

work in the Lord ? 

2 b If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless 
I am to you : for the seal of mine apostleship are ye 
in the Lord. 

3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this ; 

4 c Have we not power to eat and to drink ? 

5 d Have we not power to lead about a sister, a 
wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of 
the Lord, and Cephas ? 

6 e Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to 
forbear working ? 

7 f Who goeth a warfare any time at his own 
charges ? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of 
the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth 
not of the milk of the flock ? 

8 Say I these things as a man ? or saith not the 
law the same also ? 

9 g For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou 
shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth 
out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen ? 

10 h Or saith he it altogether for our sakes ? For 
our sakes, no doubt, this is written : that he that 
ploweth should plow in hope ; and that he that 
thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. 

11 'If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it 
a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? 

12 k If others be partakers of this power over you, 
are not we rather ? Nevertheless we have not used 
this power ; but suffer all things, lest we should hin- 
der the gospel of Christ. 

13 ' Do ye not know, that they which minister about 
holy things live of the things of the temple ? and they 
which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar: 

14 '"Even so hath the Lord ordained, that they 
which preach the gospel should live of the gospel . 

15 " But I have used none of these things : neither 
have I written these things, that it should be so done 
unto me : for it were better for me to die than that 
any man should make my glorying void. 

16 ° For though 1 preach the gospel, I have notliing

I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ

1 The Jews had sacraments typical of ours. 6 Christians 

must not lust after evil things : 7 they must avoid idolatry ; 

13 God will in affliction make a way for them to escape, fyc. 

OREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye 

should be ignorant, how that all our fathers 

were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea ; « Num. 11.4 

2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud 
and in the sea ; 

3 b And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 

4 c And did all drink the same spiritual drink ; for 
they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them : 
and that Rock was Christ. 

5 d But with many of them God was not well pleased ; 
for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 

6 e Now these things were our examples, to the 
intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also 
lusted. 

7 f Neither be ye idolaters, as icere some of them 
as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, J"; ';, ' '„ ,, 
and rose up to play.

9 h Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them 
also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 

10 ' Neither murmur ye, as some of them also mur- 
mured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 

1 1 k Now all these things happened unto them for 
ensamples : and they are written for our admonition, 
upon whom the ends of the world are come.

1 3 m There hath no temptation taken you but sueh 
as is common to man : but God is faithful, who will 
not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able ; 
hut will with the temptation also make a way to escape, 
that ye may be able to bear it. 

1 4 n Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from 
idolatry. 

15 °I speak as to wise men ; judge ye what I say. 

16 p The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not 
the communion of the blood of Christ ? the bread which 
we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ ? 

1 7 q For we, being many, are one bread, and one 
body ; for we are all partakers of that one bread. 

1 8 r Behold Israel after the flesh : are not they 
which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar ? 

1 9 s What say I then ? that the idol is any thing ? 
or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing ? 

20 * But / say, that the things which the Gentiles 
sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God : and I 
would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 

21 u Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the 
cup of devils : ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's 
table, and of the table of devils. 

22 x Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy ? are we 
stronger than he ? 

23 y All things are lawful for me, but all things are 
not expedient : all things are lawful for me, but all 
things edify not. 

24 z Let no man seek his own, but every man 
another's wealth. 

25 a Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, 
asking no question for conscience' sake : 

26 b For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness 
thereof. 

27 c If any of them that believe not bid you to a 
feast, and ye be disposed to go ; whatsoever is set 
before you, eat, asking no question for conscience' 
sake. 

28 d But if any man say unto you, This is offered 
in sacrifice unto idols ; eat not, for his sake that shewed 
it, and for conscience' sake. The earth is the Lord's, 
and the fulness thereof. 

29 e Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the 
others : for why is my liberty judged of another man's 
conscience ? 

30 f For, if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil 
spoken of, for that for which I give thanks ? 

31 g Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatso- 
ever ye do, do all to the gloiy of God. 

32 h Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to 
the Gentiles, nor to the church of God : 

33 'Even as I please all men in all things, not seek- 
ing mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they 
may be saved. 

CHAP. XT. 

1 He exhorteth them, 3 and forbiddeth men to pray or pro- 
phesy with their heads covered, and women with their heads 
uncovered . 23 Of the Lord's supper. 

a "d^ y e f° uovvers °f me > even as I a ' so am of Christ. 
JO 2 b Now I praise you, brethren, that you re- 
member me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as 
I delivered them to you. 

3 c But I would have you know, that the head of 
every man is Christ ; and the head of the woman is 
the man ; and the head of Christ is God. 

4 (i Every man praying or prophesying, having his 
head covered, dishonoured h his head. 

5 ° But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth 



with her head uncovered, dishonoured her head: for 
that is even all one as if she were shaven. 

6 f For if the woman be not covered, let her also 
be shorn : but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn 
or shaven, let her be covered. 

7 g For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, 
forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God : but 
the woman is the glory of the man. 

8 h For the man is not of the woman ; but the woman 
of the man ; 

9 Neither was the man created for the woman, but 
the woman for the man. 

10 ' For this cause ought the woman to have power 
on her head, because of the angels. 

1 1 Nevertheless, neither is the man without the 
woman, neither the woman without the man, in the 
Lord. 

1 2 k For as the woman is of the man, even so is the 
man also by the woman ; but all things of God. 

1 3 Judge in yourselves : is it comely that a woman 
pray unto God uncovered ? 

1 4 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a 
man have long hair, it is a shame unto him ? 

1 5 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to 
her : for her hair is given her for a covering. 

16 l But if any man seem to be contentious, we have 
no such custom, neither the churches of God. 

1 7 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise 
you not, that ye come together not for the better, but 
for the worse. 

18 m For first of all, when ye come together in the 
church, I hear that there be divisions among you ; and 
I partly believe it. 

19 n For there must be also heresies among you, that 
they which are approved may be made manifest among 
you. 

20 When ye come together therefore into one place, 
this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 

21 ° For in eating, every one taketh before other his 
own supper : and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 

22 p What ! have ye not houses to eat and to drink 
in ? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them 
that have not ? What shall I say to you ? shall I praise 
you in this ? I praise you not. „ 

23 q For I have received of the Lord that which 
also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus, the 
same night in which he was betrayed, took bread : 

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and 
said, Take, eat ; this is my body, which is broken for 
you : this do in remembrance of me. 

25 After the same manner also he took the cup, 
when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new tes- 
tament in my blood : this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, 
in remembrance of me. 

26 T For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink 
this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 

27 s Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, and 
drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty 
of the body and blood of the Lord. 

28 l But let a man examine himself, and so let him 
eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 

29 u For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, 
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discern- 
ing the Lord's body. 

30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among 
you, and many sleep. 

31 x For if we would judge ourselves, we should 
not be judged.

Diversity of spiritual gifts. CHAP. XII, 

32 y But when we are judged, we are chastened of 
the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the 
world. 

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come to- 
gether to eat, tarry one for another. 

34 z And if any man hunger, let him eat at home ; 
that ye come not together unto condemnation. And 
the rest will I set in order when I come. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 Spiritual gifts are diverse, 7 yet to profit withal, 8 and to 
that end are all diversely bestowed of God for the general 
good. 

a "T^TOW concerning spiritual g-«/h, brethren, I would 
J3I not have you ignorant. 

2 b Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away 
unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 

3 c Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man 
speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed ; 
and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but 
by the Holy Ghost. 

4 d Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same 
Spirit. 

5 e And there are differences of administrations, 
but the same Lord. 

6 f And there are diversities of operations ; but it 
is the same God which worketh all in all. 

7 s But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to 
eveiy man to profit withal. 

8 h For to one is given, by the Spirit, the word of 
wisdom ; to another the word of knowledge, by the 
same Spirit ; 

9 * To another faith, by the same Spirit ; to another 
the gifts of healing, by the same Spirit ; 

10 k To another the working of miracles ; to an- 
other prophecy, to another discerning of spirits ; to 
another divers kinds of tongues ; to another the inter- 
pretation of tongues : 

1 1 ' But ah 1 these worketh that one and the self- 
same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he 
will. 

1 2 m For as the body is one, and hath many 
members, and all the members of that one body, 
being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 

13 n For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one 
body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether v;e be 
bond or free ; and have been all made to drink into 
one Spirit. 

1 4 For the body is not one member, but many. 

15 If the foot shall say, Because 1 am not the 
hand, I am not of the body ; is it therefore not of the 
body? 

16 And if the ear shall say. Because I am not the 
eye, I am not of the body ; is it therefore not of the 
body? 

1 7 If the whole body were an eye, where were the 
hearing ? if the whole were hearing, where were the 
smelling ? 

18° But now hath God set the members, every one 
m Rom! 12, of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 

19 And if they were all one member, where were 
the body ? 

20 But now are they many members, yet but one 
body. 

21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have 
no need of thee : nor again, the head to the feet, I 
have no need of you. 

22 Nay, much more, those members of the body 
which seem to be more feeble, are necessary : 

4T 



X11I, XIV. The praise of charily. 

23 And those members of the body which we think 




to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more 
abundant honour ; and our uncomely parts have more 
abundant comeliness. 

24 For our comely parts have no need : but God 
hath tempered the body together, having given more 
abundant honour to that part which lacked: 

25 That there should be no schism in the body ; 

but that the members should have the same care one p R m. 12, 
for another. 5. 

26 And whether one member suffer, all the mem- ^n.&% 
bers suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all 23. so. 
the members rejoice with it. q Actsit/i. 

27 p Now ye are the body of Christ, and members Rom. 12,' 6. 
in particular. # c 8 hap 13> „, 

28 q And (jod hath set some in the church ; first, & 14, 33. 
apostles-, secondarily, prophets; thirdly, teachers; f'fl^if 
after that, miracles; then gifts of healings, helps in rTim.5',17. 
governments, diversities of tongues. 

29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all 
teachers ? are all workers of miracles ? 

30 Have all the gifts of healing ? do all speak with 
tongues ? do all interpret ? 

31 r But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet 
shew I unto you a more excellent way.

pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the 
sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or 
harped ? 

8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who 
shall prepare himself to the battle ? 

9 So likewise you, except ye utter by the tongue 
words easy to be understood, how shall it bo known 
what is spoken 1 for ye shall speak into the air. 

10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in 
the world, and none of them are without signification. 

1 1 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the 
voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian ; 
and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 

12 e Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of 
spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying 
of the church. 

1 3 f Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an unknown 
tongue, pray that he may interpret. 

14 g For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit 
prayeth ; but my understanding is unfruitful. 

15 h What is it then ? I will pray with the spirit, 
and I will pray with the understanding also : I will 
sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the under- 
standing also. 

16 ' Else, when thou shalt bless with the spirit, 
how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned, 
say Amen at thy giving of thanks ? seeing he ander- 

Ps. 106, 48. stand eth not what thou sayest. 

1 7 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other 
is not edified. 

1 8 k I thank my God, I speak with tongues more 
than ye all : 

19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words 
with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach 
others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown 
tongue.

a^iVs &" howbeit in malice be ye children ; but in understand- 
19, 14. ing be men.

27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it 
be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; 
and let one interpret.

silence in the church ; and let him speak to himself, 
and to God.

the other judge.

11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we 
preach, and so ye believed. 

12 l Now if Christ be preached that he rose from 
the dead, how say some among you that there is no 
resurrection of the dead ? 

1 3 m But if there be no resurrection of the dead, 
then is Christ not risen : 

14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preach- 
ing vain, and your faith is also vain. 

15 n Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God ; 
because we have testified of God that he raised up 
Christ : whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead 
rise not. 

16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised : 
17° And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain ; 

ye are yet in your sins. 

18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ, 
are perished. 

19 p If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we 
are of all men most miserable. 

20 q But now is Christ risen from the dead, and 
become the first-fruits of them that slept. 

21 r For since by man came death, by man came 
also the resurrection of the dead. 

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall 
all be made alive. 

23 8 But every man in his own order ; Christ the 
first-fruits ; afterward they that are Christ's, at his 
coming. 

24 l Then cometh the end, when he shall have de- 
livered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; 
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority 
and power. 

25 u For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies 
under his feet. 

26 x The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 

27 y For he hath put all things under his feet. But 
when he saith, All things are put under him; it is 
manifest that he is excepted which did put all things 
under him. 

Phi'i V 2 . 28 z ^"^ when all things shall be«6ubdued unto 
Hei.r, i3.it him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto 

him that put all things under him, that God may be 

all in all. 

29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for 
the dead, if the dead rise not at all ? why are they 
then baptized for the dead ? 

30 a And why stand we in jeopardy every hour ? 

31 b I protest by your rejoicing which I have in 
Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 

32 c If after the manner of men I have fought with 
beasts at Ephesus, what advantage! h it me, if the 
dead rise not ? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow 
we die. 

33 Be not deceived : evil communications corrupt 
good manners. 

34 ° Awake to righteousness, and sin not ; for some 
have not the knowledge of God : I speak this to your 
shame. 

35 6 But some man will say, How are the dead 
raised up ? and with what body do they come ? 

36 f Thou fool ! that which thou sowest is not 
quickened, except it die : 

37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not!

An exhortation to steadfast faith. 

that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance 
of wheat, or of some other grain : 

38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, 
and to every seed his own body. 

39 All flesh is not the same flesh : but there is one 
kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another 
of fishes, and another of birds. 

40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies ter- 
restrial : but the glory of the celestial is one, and the 
glory of the terrestrial is another. 

41 g Tliere is one glory of the sun, another of the 
moon, and another glory of the stars : lor out star 
differeth from another star in glory. 

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is 
sown in corruption ; it is raised in incorruption : 

43 It is sown in dishonour ; it is raised in glory : it 
is sown in weakness ; it is raised in power : 

44 It is sown a natural body ; it is raised a spiritual 
body. There is a natural body, and there is a spirit- 
ual body. 

45 b And so it is written, The first man Adam was >> Gen. 2. 7. 
made a living soul ; the last Adam was made a quick- 
ening spirit. 

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, 
but that which is natural ; and afterward that which 
is spiritual. 

47 ' The first man is of the earth, earthy : the 
second man is the Lord from heaven. 

48 k As is the earthy, such are they that are earthy : 
and as is the heavenly, such are the} - also that are 
heavenly. 

49 ' And as we have borne the image of the earthy, 
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 

50 m Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood 
cannot inherit the kingdom of God ; neither doth cor- 
ruption inherit incorruption. 

51 n Behold, I shew you a mystery : We shall not 
all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 

52 ° In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at 
the last trump : for the trumpet shall sound, and the 
dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be 

;ed. 

■' For this corruptible must put on incorruption, 

lis mortal must put on immortality. 

q So when this corruptible shall have put on 
incorruption, and this mortal shall nave put on immor- 
tality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is 
written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 

55 O death, where is thy sting ? O grave, where is 
thy victory ? 

56 ' The sting of death is sin ; and the strength of ■ K01... 4. is 
sin is the law. 

57 8 But thanks 7»e to God, which giveth us the 
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

58 l Therefore, my beloved brethn n, be ye stead- 
fast, immoveable, always abounding in the work ol 
the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is 
not in vain in the Lord.

4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go

5 d N ow I will come unto you, when I shall pass

6 e And it may be that I will abide, yea, and win-

7 f For I will not see you now by the way ; but I

8 2 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. 

9 h For a great door and effectual is opened unto 
me, and there are many adversaries.

Lord, as I also do. 

1 1 k Let no man therefore despise him : but con- 
duct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me : 
for I look for him with the brethren. 

12 l As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly de- 
sired him to come unto you with the brethren : but 
his will was not at all to come at this time ; but he 
will come when he shall have convenient time. 

1 3 m Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like 
men, be strong. 



14 n Let all your things be done with charity. 

15 ° I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house 
of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and 
that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of 
the saints,) 

1 6 p That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to 
every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. 

17 q I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and 
Fortunatus and Achaicus : for that which was lacking 
on your part they have supplied. 

1 8 r For they have refreshed my spirit and yours : 
therefore acknowledge ye them that are such. 

19 3 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and 
Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church 
that is in then house. 

20 l All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one 
another with a holy kiss.

3 Tlie apostle encourageth against troubles, 12 sheweth the 
sincerity of his preaching, 15 and excuseth his not coming 
to them. 

iAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of 
God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church 
of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which 
are in all Achaia : 

2 b Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, 
and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 

3 c Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the Qod of 
all comfort ; 4^ 

4 d AVho comforteth us in all our tribulation^Rit 
we may be able to comfort them which are in any 
trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are 
comforted of God. 

5 e For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so 
our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 

6 f And whether we be afflicted, it is for your con- 
solation and salvation, which is effectual in the en- 
during of the same sufferings which we also suffer : or 
whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and 
salvation. 

7 s And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that 
as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be 
also of the consolation. 

8 h For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant 
of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were 
pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that 
we despaired even of life : 

9 i But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, 
that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which 
raiseth the dead : 

10 k Who delivered us from so great a death, and 
doth deliver : in whom we trust that he will yet deliver 
us; 

1 1 ' Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that 



for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many 
persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf. 

12 m For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our 
conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not 
with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have 
had our conversation in the world, and more abun- 
dantly to you-ward. 

1 3 For we write none other tilings unto you than 
what ye read or acknowledge ; and I trust ye shall 
acknowledge even to the end ; 

14 n As also* ye have acknowledged us in part, that 
we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the 
day of the Lord Jesus. 

1 5 ° And in this confidence I was minded to come 
unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit ; 

1 6 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come 
again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be 
brought on my way toward Judea. 

1 7 p When I therefore was thus minded, did I use 
lightness ? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose 
according to the flesh, that with me there should be 
yea, yea, and nay, nay. 

1 8 q But as God is true, our word toward you was 
not yea and nay. 

1 9 r For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was 
preached among you by us, even by me and Silvahus 
and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was 
yea. 

20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and 
in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 

21 s Now he which established us with you in 
Christ, and hath anointed us, is God ; 

22 * Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest 
of the Spirit in our hearts. 

23 u Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, 
that, to spare you, I came not as yet unto Corinth. 

24 * Not for that we have dominion over your faith, 
but are helpers of your joy : for by faith ye stand.

Of the excommunicated person. 

CHAP. II. 

1 The reasons of PauVs not coming unto them. 6 Of the 
excommunicated, person. 

a Tl^^ ^ determined this with myself, that I would 
Sj not come again to you in heaviness. 

2 b For if I make you sorry, who is he then that 
maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by 
me ? 

3 And I wrote tliis same unto you, lest, when I 
came, I should have sorrow from them of whom 1 
ought to rejoice ; having confidence in you all, that my 
joy is the joy of you all. 

4 c For out of much affliction and anguish of heart 
I wrote unto you with many tears ; not that ye should 
be grieved, but that ye might know the love wliich I 
have more abundantly unto you. 

5 ll But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved 
me, but in part : that I may not overcharge you all. 

6 e Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, 
which was inflicted of many. 

7 f So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive 
him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should 
be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 

8 Wherefore I beseech you, that ye would confirm 
your love toward him. 

9 g For to this end also did I write, that I might 
know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all 
things. 

10 h To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also : 
for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for 
your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ ; 

1 1 ' Lest Satan should get an advantage of us : for 
we are not ignorant of his devices. 

1 2 k Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach 
Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the 
Lord, 

1 3 ' I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not 
Titus my brother : but taking my leave of them, I went 
from thence into Macedonia. 

14 m Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth 
us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the 
savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 

1 5 n For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, 
in them that are saved, and in them that perish : 

16 ° To the one we are the savour of death unto 
death ; and to the other the savour of life unto life. 
And who-i's sufficient for these things ? 

1 7 p For we are not as many, which corrupt the 
word of God : but as of sincerity, but as of God, in 
the sight of God, speak we in Christ. 

CHAP. III. 

He sheweth that their gifts and graces were a sufficient com- 
mendation of his ministry. 

O we begin again to commend ourselves ? or 
need we, as some others, epistles of commenda- 
tion to you, or letters of commendation from you 1 

2 b Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known 
and read of all men : 

3 c Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be 
y.u^xt.Z the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with 
cb. b 2. 9 i6. & ink, but with the Spirit of the living God : not in tables 

of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart. 

4 d And such trust have we through Christ to God- 
ward : 

5 e Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think 
any thing as of ourselves ; but our sufficiency is of 
God ; 

. 6 f Who also hath made us able ministers of the

PauVs hope of immortal glory : 

death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might 
be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 

12 m So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 

1 3 n We having the same spirit of faith, according 
as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; 
we also believe, and therefore speak ; 

14 ° Knowing that he which raised up the Lord 
Jesus, shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall pre- 
sent us with you. 

15 p For all things are for your sakes, that the abun- 
dant grace might, through the thanksgiving of many, 
redound to the glory of God. 

1 6 q For which cause we faint not ; but though our 
outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed 
day by day. 

1 7 r For our light affliction, which is but for a mo- 
ment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal 
weight of glory ; 

1 8 s Wliile we look not at the things which are 
seen, but at the things which are not seen : for the 
things which are seen are temporal ; but the things 
which are not seen are eternal. 

CHAR V. 

Paul, in assured hope of immortal glory, laboureth to approve 

himself to Christ, Sfc. 

OR we know that if our earthly house of this 

tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building 

of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the 

heavens. 

2 b For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be 
clothed upon with our house which is from heaven : 

3 c If so be that being clothed we shall not be found 
naked. 

4 d For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, 
being burdened : not for that we would be unclothed, 
but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed 
up of life. 

5 e Now he that hath wrought us for the self-same 
thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest 
of the Spirit. 

6 f Therefore we are always confident, knowing 
that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are aJasent 
from the Lord ; 

7 E (For we walk by faith, not by sight :) 

8 h We are confident, / say, and willing rather to 
be absent from the body, and to be present with the 
Lord. 

9 IT ' Wherefore we labour, that, whether present 
or absent, we may be accepted of him. 

10 k For we must all appear before the judgment- 
seat of Christ ; that every one may receive the things 
done in his body, according to that he hath done, 
whether it be good or bad. 

1 1 ' Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we 
persuade men ; but we are made manifest unto God, 
and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 

12 m For we commend not ourselves again unto 
you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that 
ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory 
in appearance, and not in heart. 

13 d For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to 
God : or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. 

14 For the love of Christ constraineth us ; because 
we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all 
dead : 

15 ° And thai he died for all, that they which live 
should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto 
him winch died for them, and rose again.

CHAP. VII. 

1 He exhortelh to purity of life, 3 and sheweth the source of 

his comfort in afflictions. 
a XX^VING therefore these promises, dearly be- 
JLJL loved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness 
of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear 
of God. 

2 b Receive us ; we have wronged no man, we have 
corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. 

3 c I speak not this to condemn you ; for I have said 
before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with 
you. 

4 J Great is my boldness of speech toward you, 
great is my glorying of you : I am filled with comfort, 
I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. 

5 e For, when we were come into Macedonia, our 
flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side ; 
without were fightings, within were fears. 

6 f Nevertheless God that comforteth those that are 
cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus ; 

7 And not by his coming only, but by the consola- 
tion wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told 
us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent 
mind toward me ; so that I rejoiced the more. 

8 g For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do 
not repent, though I did repent : for I perceive that 
the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were 
but for a season. 

9 h Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, 
but that ye sorrowed to repentance, for ye were made 
sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive 
damage by us in nothing. 

1 ' For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salva- 
tion not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world 
worketh death. 

1 1 k For behold this self-same thing, that ye sorrowed 
after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, 
yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indigna- 
tion, yea, what fear, yea, vihat vehement desire, yea, 
what zeal, yea, what revenge ! In all things ye have 
approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 

12 • Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it 
not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his 
cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in 
the sight of God might appear unto you. 

13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort : 
yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of 
Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 

14 m For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, 
I am not ashamed ; but as we spake all things to you 
in truth, even so our boasting, which / made before 
Titus, is found a truth. 

15 " And his inward affection is more abundant 
toward you, whilst he rememberelh the obedience of 
you all, how with fear and trembling ye received 
him. 

16 ° I rejoice, therefore, that 1 have confidence in 
you in all things.

abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abound- 
ed unto the riches of their liberality. 

3 For to their power (I bear record) yea, and be- 
yond their power, they were willing of themselves ; 

4 c Praying us with much entreaty that we would 
receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of R m.' 15 
the ministering to the saints. 

5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave 
their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will 
of God. 

6 d Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had <j 1 c or . 16, 1. 
begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace chap ' 12 ' 18 ' 
also. 

7 e Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, 
and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, 
and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace 
also. 

8 f I speak not by commandment, but by occasion f.i cor. 7, e 
of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity 

of your love. 

9 g For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus s Mat. 8, 20. 
Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he Philip. '2, 6. 
became poor, that ye through his poverty might be 

rich. 

10 h And herein I give my advice: for this is expe- h p r . 19, n. 
dient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, 
but also to be forward a year ago. 

11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as 
there was a readiness to will, so there may be a per- 
formance also out of that which ye have. 

1 2 ' For if there be first a willing mind, it is ac- 
cepted according to that a man hath, and not accord- 
ing to that he hath not. 

1 3 k For / mean not that other men be eased, and t Acts 4, 34. 
you burdened : 

1 4 But by an equality, that now at this time your 
abundance may be a supply for their want, that their 
abundance also may be a supply for your want, that 
there may be equality : 

15 - As it is written, He that had gathered much 1 Ex. ie. ia. 
had nothing over : and he that had gathered little had 

no lack. 

i^But thanks be to God, which put the same ear- 
nwWare into the heart of Titus for yen. 

1 7 m For indeed he accepted the exhortation ; but »> <=•>. 12, is. 
being more forward, of his own accord he went unto 

you. 

18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose 
praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches ; 

19 " And not that only, but who was also chosen 
of the churches to travel with us with this grace, 
which is administered by us to the glory of the same 
Lord, and declaration of your ready mind : 

20 ° Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in 
this abundance which is administered by us: 

21 p Providing for honest things, not only in the p 
sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. Philip, i . ' 

22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom ' ,VI * ,x 
we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, 

but now much more diligent, upon the great confi- 
dence which I have in you. 

23 1 Whether any do inquire of Titus, he is my l**** 
partner and fellow-helper concerning you: or our puii f .9.«. 
brethren be inquired of, they are the messengers of the 
churches, and the glory of Christ. 

24 'Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the reh.ru* 
churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting 9 ' 

on your behalf.

Bounlifulness recommended. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 He sheweth why he sent the brethren, 6 and stirreth them 
up to give bountifully, as a likely means to increase their 
store, fyc. 

a TFHOR as touching the ministering to the saints, it 
M. is superfluous for me to write to you : 

2 b For I know the forwardness of your mind, for 
which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that 
Achaia was ready a year ago ; and your zeal hath 
provoked very many. 

3 c Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting 
of you should be in vain in this behalf ; that, as I said, 
ye may be ready : 

4 d Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, 
and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, you) 
should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. 

5 e Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the 
brethren, that they would go before unto you, and 
make up beforehand your t bounty, whereof ye had 
notice before, that the same might be ready, as a mut- 
ter of bounty, and not of covetousness. 

6 f Rut this / say, He which soweth sparingly shall 
reap sparingly ; and he which soweth bountifully shall 
reap bountifully. 

7 e Every man according as he purposeth in his 
heart, so let him give ; not grudgingly, or of necessity :

OULD to God ye could bear with me a little

for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may-

beguiled Eve through his subtil ty, so your minds should 
be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Paul glonetk in afflictions : CHAP. XII. 

8 h I robbed other churches, taking wages of ihem, 
to do you service. 

9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, 
I was chargeable to no man : for that which was 
lacking to me, the brethren which came from Mace- 
donia supplied : and in all things I have kept myself 
from being burdensome to you, and so will I keep 
myself. 

10 ' As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall 
stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 

1 1 k Wherefore ? because I love you not 1 God 
knoweth. 

1 2 ' But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut 
off occasion from them which desire occasion ; that 
wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 

13 m For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, 
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 

14 And no marvel ; for Satan himself is transformed 
into an angel of light. 

15" Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers 
also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness ; 
whose end shall be according to their works. 

16 ° 1 say again, Let no man think me a fool; if 
otherwise, yet as"^a fool receive me, that I may boast 
myself a little. 

1 7 p That which I speak, I speak it not after the 
Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of 
boasting. 

1 8 i Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will 
glory also. 

1 9 r For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves 
are wise. 

20 s For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, 
if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man 
exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face. 

21 * I speak as concerning reproach, as though we 
had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, 
(I speak foolishly,) I am bold also. 

22 u Are they Hebrews ? so am I. Are they Israel- 
ites ? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham ? so am I. 

23 x Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a 
fool) I am more ; in labours more abundant, in stripes 
above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft 

24 y Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes 
save one. 

25 z Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I 
stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day 
I have been in the deep. 

26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils 
of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils 
by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the 
wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false 
brethren ; 

27 a In weariness and painfulness, in vvatchings 
often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold 
and nakedness. 

28 b Besides those things that are without, that which 
cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 

29 c Who is weak, and I am not weak ? who is offend- 
ed, and I burn not? 

30 d If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things 
which conrern mine infirmities.

His iconderful revelations. 

33 And through a window in a basket was I let 
down by the wall, and escaped his hands. 
CHAP. XII. 

1 He chooseth to commend his apostleship , not by revelations, 
9 but by his infirmities, 11 blaming them for forcing his 
boatting. 

o 

T is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will 
come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 

2 b I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years 
ago, (whether in the body I cannot tell ; or whether 
out of the body, I cannot tell : God knoweth ;) such 
a one caught up to the third heaven. 

3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, 
or out of the body, I cannot tell : God knoweth ;) 

4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and 
heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a 
man to utter. 

5 c Of such a one will I glory : yet of myself I will 
not glory, but in mine infirmities. 

6 d For though I would desire to glory, I shall not 
be a fool ; for I will say the truth : but now I forbear, 
lest any man should think of me above that which he 
seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 

7 e And lest I should be exalted above measure 
through the abundance of the revelations, there was 
given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan, 
to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 

8 f For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it 
might depart from me. 

9 g And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for 
thee : for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in mine infii- 
mities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 

10 h Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in re- 
proaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for 
Christ's sake : for when I am weak, then am I stroni

11 'I am become a fool in glorying ; ye have com- 
pelled me : for I ought to have been commended of 
you : for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest 
apostles, though I be nothing. 

12 k Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought 
among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and 
mighty deeds. 

13 ' For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other 
churches, except it be that I myself was not burden- 
some to you ? forgive me this wrong. 

14 m Behold, the third time I am ready to come to mActesasj 
you ; and I will not be burdensome to you : for 1 seek & lo'ss. 
not yours, but you : for the children ought not to lay 
up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 

15 " And I will very gladly spend and be spent for 
you ; though the more abundantly I love you, the less 
I be loved. 

16 But be it so, I did not burden you ; nevertheless, 
being crafty, I caught you with guile. 

1 7 ° Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom 
I sent unto you ? 

18 pI desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother : 
did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the 
same spirit ? walked we not in the same steps ? 

19 <> Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto 
you? we speak before God in Christ : but we do all 
things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. 

20 r For I fear, lest, when I come, J shall not find 
you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto jjj. 16, a 
you such as ye would not : lest there be debates, envy- 
mgs, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, 
tumults :

21 s And lest, when I come again, my God will! 
humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many! 
which have sinned already, and have not repented of j 
the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness | 
which they have committed. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 He threatenelh obstinate sinners : 5 he adviseth them to a 
trial of their faith. 
I HIS is the third time I am coming to you. In 
the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every 
word be established. 

2 b I told you before, and foretell you, as if I w 7 ere 
present, the second time ; and being absent, now I 
write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all 
other, that, if I come again, 1 will not spare : 

3 c Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, 
which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. 

4 d For though he was crucified through weakness, 
yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are 
weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power 
of God toward you. 

5 e Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith ; 
prove your own selves. Know ye not your own 
selves, how that J esus Christ is in you, except ye be 
reprobates ? 




6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not 
reprobates. 

7 f Now I pray to God that ye do no evil ; not that 
we should appear approved, but that ye should do that 
which is honest, though we be as reprobates. 

8 g For we can do nothing against the truth, but for 
the truth. 

9 h For we are glad, when we are weak, and 
ye are strong : and this also we wish, even your per- 
fection. 

1 ' Therefore I write these things being absent, lest 
being present I should use sharpness, according to the 
power which the Lord hath given me to edification, 
and not to destruction. 

1 1 k Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of k Rom. 12,1a. 
good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace ; and the 
God of love and peace shall be with you. 

1 2 ' Greet one another with a holy kiss. 

13 All the saints salute you. 

1 4 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love 
of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be 
with you all. Amen.

IT The Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the GALATIANS. 



CHAP. I. 

1 Paul's salutation : 6 he wonders that they had so soon left 
the truth of the gospel, fyc. 

a ^IJAUL, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, 
JL but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who 
raised him from the dead ;) 

2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the 
churches of Galatia : 

3 b Grace be to you, and peace, from God the 
Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. 

4 c Who gave himself for our sins, that he might 
deliver us from this present evil world, according to 
the will of God and our Father : 

5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 

6 d I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him 
that called you into the grace of Christ unto another 
gospel : 

7 e Which is not another ; but there be some that 
tiouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 

8 r But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach 
any other gospel unto you than that which we have 
preached unto you, let him be accursed. 

9 g As we said before, so say 1 now again, If any 
man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye 
have received, let him be accursed. 

1 h For do I now persuade men, or God ? or do I 
seek to please men ? for if I yet pleased men, I should 
not be the servant of Christ. 

1 1 ' But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel 
which was preached of me is not after man. 

1 2 k For I neither received it of man, neither was 
I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 

1 3 ' For ye have heard of my conversation in time 
past in the Jews' religion, how thaf*beyond measure 
I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it ; 

1 4 And profited in the Jews' religion above many 
mine equals in mine own nation, being more exceed- 
ingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 

15 m But when it pleased God, who separated me 



from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 

16 n To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach 
him among the heathen ; immediately I conferred not 
with flesh and blood. 

1 7 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which 
were apostles before me ; but I went into Arabia, and 
returned again unto Damascus. 

18° Then after three years I went up to Jerusa- 
lem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. 

19 p But other of the apostles saw I none, save 
James the Lord's brother. 

20- 1 Now the things which I write unto you, be- 
hold, before God, I lie not. 

21 r Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria 
and Cilicia ; 

22 And was unknown by face unto the churches 
of Judea which were in Christ : 

23 But they had heard only, That he which perse- 
cuted us in times past, now preacheth the faith which 
once he destroyed. 

24 And they glorified God in me. 

CHAP. II. 
1 He sheweth when and for what purpose he went up to Je 
rusalem. 14 Of justification by faith, and not by works : 

20 they that are so jrtstified live not in sin. 
HEN, || fourteen years after, I went up again 

to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus 
with me also. 

2 b And I went up by revelation, and communi- 
cated unto them that gospel which I preach among 
the Gentiles ; but privately to them wliich were of 
reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had 
run, in vain, 

3 c But neither Titus, who was with me, being a 
Greek, was compelled to be circumcised : 

4 d And that because of false brethren unawares 
brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty 
which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring 
us into bondage :

cb. 3, i. &4, wna tsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: 
PhT^ 8 ' 2 is 17 ' ^ 0C ' acce P^ em no man's person : for they who seemed 
rne.mvio.i7. to be sorneivhat, in conference added nothing to me ; 

7 g But contrariwise, when they saw that the gos 
pel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as 
the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter ; 

8 b (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the 
apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty 
in me toward the Gentiles ;) 

9 ' And when James, Cephas, and John, who 
seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was 
given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the 
right hands of fellowship ; that we should go unto the 
heathen, and they unto the circumcision. 

1 Only they would that we should remember the 
poor ; the same which I also was forward to do. 

1 1 k But when Peter was come to Antioch, I with 
stood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 

12 ! For before that certain came from James, he 
did eatjwith the Gentiles : but when they were come, 
he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them 
which were of the circumcision. 

13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with 
him ; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away

why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the 
Jews ? 

15 n We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners 
of the Gentiles, 

16 ° Knowing that a man is not justified by the 
works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, 
even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might 
be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works 
of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh 
be justified. 

17 p But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, 
we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ 
the minister of sin ? God forbid. 

18 For if I build again the things wliich I t de- 
stroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

I might live unto God.

21 9 I do not frustrate the grace of God : for if

CHAP. III. 

1 He asketh what moved them to depend on the law, having 
received the Spirit through faith. 6 Abraham being jus- 
tified by faith, so they who are of faith inherit his blessing. 

FOOLISH Galalinns, who hath bewitched 
you, that ye should not obey the truth, before 

whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, 

crucified among you? 

2 b This only would I learn of you, Received ye 

the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing 

of faith ? 



o 



III. Abraham justified by 

3 c Are ye so foolish ? having begun in the Spirit, 
are ye now made perfect by the flesh ? 

4 d Have ye suffered so many things in vain ? if it 
be yet in vain. 

5- e He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, 
and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the 
works of the law, or by the hearing of faith ? 

6 f Even as Abraham believed God, and it was 
accounted to him for righteousness. 

7 g Know ye therefore, that they which are of faith, 
the same are the children of Abraham. 

8 h And the scripture, foreseeing that God would 
justify the heathen through faith, preached before the 
gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations 
be blessed. 

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with 
faithful Abraham. 

10 ' For as many as are of the works of the law! 
are under the curse : for it is written, Cursed is every 



jaith. 



one that continueth not in all things which are writ- 
ten in the book of the law to do them. 

1 1 k But that no man is justified by the law in the 
sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by 
faith. 

12 'And the law is not of faith : but, The man 
that doeth them shall live in them. 

13 m Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the 
law, being made a curse for us : for it is written, 
Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree : 

1 4 n That the blessing of Abraham might come on 
the Gentiles through Jesus Christ ; that we might 
receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 

15° Brethren, I speak after the manner of men ; 
Though it be but a man's covenant ; yet if it be con- 
firmed, no man disannulled], or addcth thereto. 

16 p Now to Abraham and his seed were the pro- 
mises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many ; 
but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 

17 q And this I say, That the covenant, that was 
confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which 
was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot dis- 
annul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 

1 8 * For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no 
more of promise : but God gave it to Abraham by 
promise. 

1 9 8 Wherefore then serveth the law ? It was added 
because of transgressions, till the seed should conn? 
to whom the promise was made ; and it ivas ordained 
by angels in the hand of a mediator. 

20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one ; but 
God is one. 

21 Is the law then against the promises of God ? 
God forbid: for if there had been a law given which 
could have given life, verily righteousness should have 
been by the law. 

22 l But the scripture hath concluded all under 
sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might 
be given to them that believe. 

23 But before faith came, we were kept undvr the 
law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards 
be revealed. 

24 u Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster t // 
bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by 
faith. 

2d But after that faith is come, we are no longer 
urder a schoolmaster. 

26 *■ For ye are all the children of God by faith in 
Christ Jesus.

Christ freeth us from the law. 

27 y For as many of you as have been baptized 
into Christ, have put on Christ. 

28 z There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is nei- 
ther bond nor free, there is neither male nor female : 
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 

29 a And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's 
seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Jlie Jews were for a while under the law, 4 but Christ 

came to redeem, and to give both to Jews and Gentiles the 

adoption of sons. 11 Paul's tender regard for them. 

OW I say, That the heir, as long as he is a 

child, differeth nothing from a servant, though 

he be lord of all ; 

2 But is under tutors and governors, until the time 
appointed of the father. 

3 b Even so we, when we were children, were in 
bondage under the elements of the world : 

4 c But when the fulness of the time was come, 
God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made un- 
der the law, 

5 d To redeem them that were under the law, that 
we might receive the adoption of sons. 

6 e And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the 
Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 

7 f Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a 
son ; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 

8 g Howbeit, then when ye knew not God, ye did 
service unto them which by nature are no gods. 

9 h But now, after that ye have known God, or 
rather are known Gf God, how turn ye again to the 
weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire 
again to be in bondage ? 

10 l Ye observe days, and months, and times, and 
years. 

11 k I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon 
you labour in vain. 

12 * Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am 
as ye are : ye have not injured me at all. 

13 m Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I 
preached the gospel unto you at the first : 

14" And my temptation which was in my flesh ye 
despised not, nor rejected : but received me as an 
angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 

1 5 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for 
I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would 
have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them 
to me. 

1 6 ° Am I therefore become your enemy, because 
I tell you the truth ? 

17 p They zealously affect you, hit not well ; yea, 
^■fif; they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. 

1 8 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a 
good thing, and not only when 1 am present with you. 

19 q My little children, of whom I travail in birth 
again until Christ be formed in you, 

20 I desire to be present with you now, and to 
change my voice ; for I stand in doubt of you. 

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do 
ye not hear the law ? 

22 r For it is written, That Abraham had two sons ; 
the one by a bond-maid, the other by a free-woman. 

23 s But he who was of the bond- woman was born 
after the flesh ; but he of the free-woman was by 
promise. 

24 * Which things are an allegory: for these are 
the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, 
which gendereth to bondage, which is Agai.

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and 
answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is m 
bondage with her children. 

26 u But Jerusalem which is above is free, which 
is the mother of us all. 

27 x For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that 
bearest not ; break forth and cry, thou that travailest 
not ; for the desolate hath many more children than 
she which hath a husband. 

28 y Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the chil- 
dren of promise. 

29 z But as then he that was born after the flesh, 
persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so 
it is now. 

30 a Nevertheless what saith the scripture ? Cast *«e>>- m. k». 
out the bond-woman and her son : for the son of the 
bond-woman shall not be heir with the son of the free- 
woman.

bond-woman, but of the free.

and such like : of the which I tell you before, as I have 
also told you in time past, that they which do such 
things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 

22 * But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, 
long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 

23 y Meekness, temperance : against such there is 
no law. 

24 z And they that are Christ's have crucified the 
flesh with the affections and lusts.

one another, envying one another.

1 He willeth them to reform the faulty with gentleness, and 
to bear one another' 's burdens ; 6 to be liberal to their 
teachers, 9 and not be weary in well-doing. 

'RETHREN, if a man be overtaken in a fault, 
ye which are spiritual restore such a one in the 
spirit of meekness ; considering thyself, lest thou also 
be tempted. 

2 b Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the 
law of Christ 

3 c For if a man think himself to be something, when 
he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 

4 d But let every man prove his own work, and then 
shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in 
another : 

5 c For every man shall bear his own burden.

1 Paul blesseth God for spiritual blessings, 7 and for redemp- 
tion by his grace through Christ, 1 1 which is the proper 
fountain of man's salvation, fyc. 

a T1AUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of 
JL God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and 
to the faithful in Christ Jesus : 

2 b Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, 
and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 

3 c Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings 
in heavenly places in Christ : 

4 d According as he hath chosen us in him before 
the foundation of the world, that we should be holy, 
and without blame before him in love : 

5 e Having predestinated us unto the adoption of 
children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the 
good pleasure of his will, 

6 f To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein 
he hath made us accepted in the Beloved : 

7 E In whom we have redemption through his blood, 
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his 
grace •, 

8 h Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all 
wisdom and prudence ; 

9 ' Having made known unto us the mystery of his 
will, according to his good pleasure which he had 
purposed in himself : 

1 k That in the dispensation of the fulness of times, 
he might gather together in one all things in Christ, 



both which are in heaven and which are on earth : 
even in him, 

11 'In whom also we have obtained an t inherit- 
ance, being predestinated according to the purpose of 
him who worketh all things after the counsel of his 
own will ; 

1 2 m That we should be to the praise of his glory, 
who first trusted in Christ. 

1 3 n In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard 
the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation : in 
whom also, after that ye believed, ye were sealed with 
that holy Spirit of promise, 

14 ° Which is the earnest of our inheritance, until 
the redemption of the purchased possession, unio the 
praise of his glory. 

15 p Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith 
in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 

1 6 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention 
of you in my prayers ; 

17 1 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the 
Father of glory, may give unto you (he Spirit of wisdom 
and revelation in the knowledge of him : 

18 'The eyes of your understanding being enlight- 
ened; that ye may know what is the hope of his 
calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inherit-

CHAP. II. 

1 What the Ephesians'' state was : God's mercy in their de- 
liverance. 8 Though saved by grace, yet created unto 
good works. 

ND you hath he quickened, who were dead in 
trespasses and sins; 

2 b Wherein in time past ye walked according to 
the course of this world, according to the prince of the 
power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the 
children of disobedience : 

3 c Among whom also we all had our conversation 
in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the de- 
sires of the flesh and of the mind ; and were by nature 
the children of wrath, even as others. 

4 d But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love 
wherewith he loved us, 

5 e Even when we were dead in sins, hath quick- 
ened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are 
saved ;) 

6 f And hath raised us up together, and made us 
sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus ; 

7 g That in the ages to come he might shew the 
exceeding riches of his grace, in his kindness toward 
us through Christ Jesus. 

8 h For by grace are ye saved through faith ; and 
that not of yourselves ; it is the gift of God : 

9 ' Not of works, lest any man should boast. 

10 k For we are his workmanship, created in 
Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before 
ordained that we should walk in them. 

1 1 ' Wherefore remember, that ye being in time 
past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircum- 
cision by that which is called the Circumcision in the 

gT'4'1> 5 ' 8 ' fl esn niade by hands ; 

12 m That at that time ye were without Christ, 
being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and 
strangers from the covenants of promise, having no 
hope, and without God in the world : 

13 n But now, in Christ Jesus, ye who sometimes 
were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 

1 4 ° For he is our peace, who hath made both one, 
and hath broken down the middle wall of partition 
betiveen us; 

1 5 p Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even 
cni°.7, -20. & the law of commandments contained in ordinances;

] John io,V in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity 

thereby ; 

1 7 r And came and preached peace to you which 
were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 

1 8 B For through him we both have an access by 
one Spirit unto the Father. 

19 l Now therefore ye are no more strangers and 
foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of 
the household of God ;

suffering, forbearing one another in love ; 

3 c Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in 
the bond of peace. 

4 i] There is one body and one Spirit, even as ye 
are called in one hope of your calling ; 

5 e One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 

6 f One God and Father of all, who is above all, 
and through all, and in you all. 

7 g But unto every one of us is given grace accord- 
ing to the measure of the gift of Christ. 

8 h Wherefore he saith, When lie ascended up on 
high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 

9 ' (Now, that he ascended, what is it but that he 
also descended first into the lower parts of the earth ? 

10 k He that descended is the same also that as- 
cended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all 
things.) 

II 1 And he gave some, apostles ; and some, pro- 
phets ; and some, evangelists ; and some, pastors and 
teachers ; 

1 2 m For the perfecting of the saints, for the work 
of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ : 

1 3 n Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and 
^21,3! of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect 

man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of 
Christ : 

14 ° That we henceforth be no more children, 
tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind 
of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning crafti- 
ness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive ; 

15 p But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up 
into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ : 

16 q From whom the whole body fitly joined to- 
gether, and compacted by that which every joint 

2Co u r r .'2"Vr& supplieth, according to the effectual working in the 
coi'.**.' 7?' measure of every part, maketh increase of the body 
unto the edifying of itself in love. 

17 r This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, 
that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, 
in the vanity of their mind, 

18 s Having the understanding darkened, being 
alienated from the life of God through the ignorance 
that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart ; 

19 * Who being past feeling, have given themselves 
over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with 
greediness. 

20 But ye have not so learned Christ ; 

21 "If so be that ye have heard him, and have 
been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus : 

22 x That ye put off, concerning the former con- 
versation, the old man, which is corrupt according to 
the deceitful lusts; 

23 y And lie renewed in the spirit of your mind ; 

24 And that ye put on Ihe new man, which after 
God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 

25 z Wherefore putting away lying, speak every 
man truth with his neighbour : for we are members 
one of another. 

26 n Be ye angry and sin not ; let not the sun go 
down upon your wrath : 

27 b Neither give place to the devil. 

28 c Let him that stole steal no more : but rather 
let him labour, working with his hands the thing which 
is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 

29 d Let no con upt communication proceed out of 
your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edi- 
fying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

6 r Let no man deceive you with vain words : for 
because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon 
the children of disobedience. 

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them : 

8 g For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are 
ye light in the Lord : walk as children of light ; 

9 h (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness 
and righteousness and truth ;) 

10 ' Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 

1 1 k And have no fellowship with the unfruitful 
works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 

12 "For it is a shame even to speak of those things 
which are done of them in secret. 

13 m But all things that are reproved are made 
manifest by the light : for whatsoever doth make 
manifest is light. 

14 " Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleep- 
est, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee 
light. 

1 5 ° See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as 
fools, but as wise, 

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 

17 r Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understand- 
ing what the will of the Lord is. 

18 i And be not drunk with wine, wherein is ex- 
cess; but be filled with the Spirit ; 

19 'Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns, ;'.';,,

washing of water by the word : 

27 a That he might present it to himself a glorious 
church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; 
but that it should be holy and without blemish. 

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own 
bodies : he that loveth his wife loveth himself. 

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh ; but 
nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord Che 
church : 

30 h For we are members of his body, of his flesh, 
and of his bones. 

31 c For this cause shall a man leave his father and 
mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they 
two shall be one flesh. 

32 This is a great mystery : but I speak concern- 
ing Christ and the church. 

33 d Nevertheless, let every one of you in particu- 
lar so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see 
that she reverence her husband.

2 b Honour thy father and mother, (which is the 
first commandment with promise,) 

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest 
live long on the earth. 

4 c And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to 
wrath : but bring them up in the nurture and admo- 
nition of the Lord. 

5 d Servants, be obedient to them that are your 
masters, according to the flesh, with fear and trem- 
bling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ ; 

6 e Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers ; but as 
the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the 
heart ; 

7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, 
and not to men ; 

8 f Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man 
doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether 
he be bond or free. 

9 E And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, 



forbearing threatening : knowing that your Master Anno 
also is in heaven ; neither is there respect of persons D0 ^ im

3 c I thank my God upon every remembrance of 
you,

PauVs readiness to suffer, 8fc. 

ing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to 
speak the word without fear. 

15 u Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and 
strife, and some also of good will. 

16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sin- 
cerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds ; 

17° But the other of love, knowing that I am set 
for the defence of the gospel. 

1 8 What then ? notwithstanding every way, whether 
in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached ; and I 
therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 

19 p For I know that this shall turn to my salvation 
through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of 
Jesus Christ, 

20 q According to mine earnest expectation and my 
hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that 
with all boldness, as always, so now also, Christ shall 
be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by 
death. 

21 r |] For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 

22 3 But if .1 live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my 
labour : yet what I shall choose I wot not. 

23 l For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a 
s. desire to depart, and to be with Christ ; which is far 

better : 

24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more need- 
ful for you. 

25 u And having this confidence, I know that I 
shall abide and continue with you all, for your further- 
ance and joy of faith ; 

26 x That your rejoicing may be more abundant in 
Jesus Christ for me, by my coming to you again. 

27 y Only let your conversation be as it becometh 
!b S aTi 8 i8 7 ' tne g° s P e ' °f Christ; that, whether I come and see 

you, or else be absent, 1 may hear of-}*our affairs, 
that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind, striving 
together for the faith of the gospel 5 

28 z And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: 
which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to 
you of salvation, and that of God. 

29 " For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, 
not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake ;

and now hear to be in me.

to God's will. 

a TF there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if 
M. any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, 

if any bowels and mercies, 

2 '• Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having 
the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

but in low lincss of mind let each esteem other better 
than themselves. 

4 ll Look not every man on his own things, but 
every man also 011 the tilings of others.

Christ Jesus :

robbery to be equal with God ;

upon him 1 lie form of a servant, and was made in the

Paul owneth his imperfections. 

God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have 
no confidence in the flesh : 

4 d Though I might also have Confidence in the 
flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof 
he might trust in the flesh, I more : 

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, 
of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews ; 
as touching the law, a Pharisee ; 

6 e Concerning zeal, persecuting the church ; touch- 
ing the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 

7 f But what things were gain to me, those I counted 
loss for Christ. 

8 g Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss 
for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus 
my Lord : for whom I have suffered the loss of all 
things, and do count them but dung, that I may win 
Christ. 

9 n And be found in him, not having mine own right- 
eousness, which is of the law, but that which is through 
the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God 
by faith : 

10 s That I may know him, and the power of his 
resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being 
made conformable unto his death ; 

11 k If by any means I might attain unto the resur- 
rection of the dead. 

12 ' Not as though I had already attained, either 
were already perfect : but I follow after, if that I may 
apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of 
Christ Jesus. 

1 3 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehend- 
ed : but this one thing I do, forgetting those things 
which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things 
which are before, 

1 4 m I press toward the mark for the prize of the 
high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 

15" Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus 
minded : and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, 
God shall reveal even this unto you. 

16° Nevertheless, whereto we have already attain- 
ed, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same 
thing. 

1 7 p Brethren, be followers together of me, and 
mark them which walk so, a3 ye have us for an 
ensample. 

18 i (For many walk, of whom I have told you 
often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are 
the enemies of the cross of Christ : 

1 9 r Whose end is destruction, whose God is their 
belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind 
earthly things.) 

20 s For our conversation is in heaven ; from whence 
also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ ; 

21 t Who shall change our vile body, that it may 
be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to 
the working whereby he i.= able even to subdue all 
things unto himself.

General exhortations. 

2 b I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that 
they be of the same mind in the Lord. 

3 c And I entreat thee also, tme yoke-fellow, help 
those women which laboured with me in the gospel, 
with Clement also, and with other my fellow-labourers, 
whose names are in the book of life. 

4 d Rejoice in the Lord always : and again I say, 
Rejoice. 

5 e Let your moderation be known unto all men : 
The Lord is at hand. 

6 f Be careful for nothing ; but in every thing by 
prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your 
request be made known unto God : 

7 g And the peace of God, which passeth all under- 
standing, shall keep your hearts and minds through 
Christ Jesus. 

C h Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, 
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are 
just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are 
lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there 
be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these 
things. 

9 ' Those things, which ye have both learned, and 
received, and heard, and seen in me, do : and the God 
of peace shall be with you. 

10 k But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now 
at the last your care of me hath flourished again ; 
wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 

1 1 ' Not that I speak in respect of want : for I 
have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to 
be content. 

1 2 m I know both how to be abased, and I know 
how to abound : every where, and in all things, I am 
instruct^ both to be full and to be hungry, both to 
abound and to suffer need. 

13 n I can do all things through Christ which strength- 
ened! me. 

1 4 ° Notwithstanding, ye have well done that ye did 
communicate with mine affliction. 

1 5 p Now, ye Philippians, know also, that in the 
beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Mace- 
donia, no church communicated with me as concern- 
ing giving and receiving, but ye only. 

16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again 
unto my necessity. 

17 q Not because I desire a gift; but I desire fruit 
that may abound to your account. 

18 r But I have all, and abound : I am full, having 
received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent 
from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice 
acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 

1 9 R But my God shall supply all your need, accord- 
ing to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever 
and ever. Amen. 

2 1 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren 
which are with me greet you. 

22 * All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are 
of Cesar's household. 

23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
all. Amen.

by Epaphroditus.

1 The Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the COLOSSIANS. 
CHAP. I. 



1 Paul thanketh God for their faith, 9 prayeth for their 
increase in grace, 15 and describeth the exalted nature 
and office of Christ. 

a TJAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by trie will of 
JL God, and Timotheus our brother, 

2 b To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ 
which are at Colosse : Grace be unto you, and peace, 
from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

3 c We give thanks to God and the Father of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 

4 d Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, 
and of the love which ye have to all the saints ; 

5 e For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, 
whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of 
the gospel ; 

' 6 f Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world 
and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since 
the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in 
truth : 

7 g As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellow- 
servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ ; 

8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 

9 h For this cause we also, since the day we heard 
it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye 
might be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all 
wisdom and spiritual understanding ; 

10 ' That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto 
all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and 
increasing in the knowledge of God ; 

1 1 k Strengthened with all might, according to his 
glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering 
with joyfulness ; 

1 2 ' Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath 
made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of 
the saints in light : 

13 m Who hath delivered us from the power of 
darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of 
his dear Son : 

14 "In whom we have redemption through his 
blood, even the forgiveness of sins ; 

1 5 ° Who is the image of the invisible God, the first- 
born of every creature : 

1 6 >' For by him were all things created, that arc in 
heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, 
whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, 
or powers : all things were created by him, and for him : 

17 i And he is before all tilings, and by him all 
things consist : 

18 r And he is the head of the body, the church ; 
who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead ; 
that in all things he might have the pre-eminence : 

1 9 s For it pleased the Father that in him should all 
fulness dwell ; 

20 * And, having made peace through the blood of 
his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; 
by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things 
in heaven. 

21 u And you, that were sometime alienated, and 
enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath 
he reconciled, 

22 x In the body of his flesh through death, to pre 
sent you holy, and unblamcable, and unreproveable 
in his sight; 

23 * If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, 
and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel,

ages and from generations, but now is made manifest 
to his saints : 

27 c To whom God would make known what is 
the riches of the glory of this mystery among the 
Gentiles ; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory :

teaching every man in all wisdom ; that we may pre-

or of the sabbath-f/«<ys ; 

1 7 r Which are a shadow of things to come ; but 
the body is of Christ. 

1 8 s Let no man beguile you of your reward, in a 
voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding 
into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed 
up by his fleshly mind ; 

19 * And not holding the Head, from which all the 
body by joints and bands having nourishment minis- 
tered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase 
of God. 

20 u Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ from the 
rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the 
world, are ye subject to ordinances, 

21 (Touch not; taste not ; handle not; 

22 x Which all are to perish with the using,) after 
the commandments and doctrines of men ? 

23 y Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom

CHAP. III. 

1 He exhorteth to be heavenly minded : 5 to mortify corrupt 
lusts, and all malice: 12 to put on kindness, charity, §-c. 
18 Sundry other relative duties. 

~F ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things 
which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right 

hand of God. 

2 b Set your affection on things above, not on things 
on the earth. 

3 c For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ 
in God. 

4 d When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then 
shall ye also appear with him in glory. 

5 e Mortify therefore your members which are upon 
the earth ; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affec- 
tion, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is 
idolatry : 

6 f For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh 
on the-children of disobedience : 

7 s In the which ye also walked sometime, when 
ye lived in them. 

8 h But now ye also put off all these ; anger, wrath, 
malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your 
mouth. 

9 ' Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put 
off the old man with his deeds ; 

1 k And have put on the new man, which is renewed 
in knowledge after the image of him that created 
him : 

ll 1 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circum- 
cision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond 
nor free : but Christ is all, and in all. 

12 m Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy 
and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness 
of mind, meekness, long-suffering ; 

13 n Forbearing one another, and forgiving one 
another, if any man have a quarrel against any : even 
as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 

14 ° And above all these things put on charity, which 
is the bond of perfectness. 

1 5 p And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, 
to the which also ye are called in one body ; and be 
ye thankful. 

1 6 <* Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in 
all wisdom ; teaching and admonishing one another in 
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with 
grace in your hearts to the Lord.

IF The First Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the 

THESSALONIANS. 



CHAP. I. h 

2 Paul sheweth his remembrance of them in thanksgiving 
and prayer, 5 and approvelh their exemplary reception of 
the gospel. 

a TJAUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the 
ml church of the Thessalonians, which is in God 

the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ : Grace be 

unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the 

Lord Jesus Christ. 

2 b We give thanks to God always for you all, 
making mention of you in our prayers ; 

3 c Remembering without ceasing your work of 
faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our 
Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father ; 
'' 4 d Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 

5 e For our gospel came not unto you in word only, 
but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much 
assurance ; as ye know what manner of men we 
were among you for your sake. 

6 f And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, 
having received the word in much affliction, with joy 
of the Holy Ghost ; 

7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in 
Macedonia and Achaia. 

8 g For from you sounded out the word of the Lord 
not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every 
place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad ; so 
that we need not to speak any thing. 

9 b For they themselves shew of us what manner 
of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned 
to God from idols, to serve the living and true God ; 

10 ' And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom 
he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered 
us from the wrath to come. 

CHAP. II. 

1 In what manner the gospel was preached unto them, and 
how they received it: 17 he sheweth his desire of coming 
to them, i^c. 

OR yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in 
unto you, that it was not in vain : 

2 b But even after that we had suffered before, and 
were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, 
we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gos- 
pel of God with much contention. 

3 c For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of 
uncleanness, nor in guile : 

4 '' But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust 
with the gospel, even so we speak ; not as pleasing 
men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 

5 e For neither at any time used we flattering words, 
as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness ; God is wit ness : 

6 f Nor of men sought w s glory, neither of you, 
nor yet of others, when we might have been burden- 
some, as the apostles of Christ. 

7 « But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse 
cherisheth her children : 



8 h So, being affectionately desirous of you, we 
were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gos- 
pel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye 
were dear unto us. 

9 ' For ye remember, brethren, our labour and 
travail : for labouring night and day, because we 
would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached 
unto you the gospel of God. 

10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and 
justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among 
you that believe: 

11 k As ye know how we exhorted and comforted 
and charged every one of you, as a father doth his 
children, 

1 2 l That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath 
called you unto his kingdom and glory. 

13 m For this cause also thank we God without 
ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God 
which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word 
of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which 
effectually worketh also in you that believe. 

14 n For ye, brethren, became followers of the 
churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus : 
for ye also have suffered like things of your own 
countrymen, even as they have of the Jews'; 

15 ° Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their 
own prophets, and have persecuted us ; and they 
please not God, and are contrary to all men ; 

1 6 ■' Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles, that 
they might be saved, to fill up their sins always ; for 
the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. 

17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a 
short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the 
more abundantly to see your face with great desire. 

18 (| Wherefore we would have come unto you, 
even I Paul, once and again ; but Satan hindered us. 

1 9 r For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of re- 
joicing ? Are not even ye in (he presence of our Lord 
Jesus Christ at his coming? 

20 For ye are our glory and joy. 

CHAP. III. 

1 Why Paul sent Timothy to them : G his good report a con- 
solation to him. 
WHEREFORE, when we could no longer for- 
bear, we thought it good to be left at Athens 
alone ; 

2 a And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister 
of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of 
Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concern- 
ing your faith ; 

3 b That no man should be moved by these afflic- 
tions: for yourselves know that we are appointed 
thereunto. 

4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you 
before that we should suffer tribulation ; even as it 
came to pass, and ye know.

Sundry exhortations. I. 

5 c For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, 
I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the 
tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain. 

6 d But now, when Timotheus came from you unto 
us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and 
charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us 
always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you ; 

7 e Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over 
you, in all our affliction and distress, by your faith : 

8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 

9 For what thanks can we render to God again for 
you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes 
before our God ; 

10 f Night and day praying exceedingly that we 
might see your face, and might perfect that which is 
lacking in your faith ? 

1 1 Now God himself and our Father, and our 
Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. 

V2 £ And the Lord make you to increase and abound 
in love one toward another, and toward all men, 
even as we do toward you : 

) 3 h To the end he may establish your hearts un- 
blameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at 
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his 
saints. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 He exhorteth to go on in godliness, 7 to holiness, 9 to love, 
11 to quietness. 15 The saints' 1 resurrection, and Christ's 
second coming. 

URTHERMORE then we beseech you, breth 

ren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as 

ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to 

please God, so ye would abound more and more. 

2 For ye know what commandments we gave you 
by the Lord Jesus. 

3 b For this is the will of God, even your sanctifica- 
tion, that ye should abstain from fornication : 

4 c That every one of you should know how to 
possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 

5 d Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the 
Gentiles which know not God : 

G e That no man go beyond and defraud his brother 
in any matter ; because that the Lord is the avenger of 
all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 

7 f For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, 
but unto holiness. 

8 E He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, 
but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. 

9 h But as touching brotherly love, ye need not that 
I write unto you ; for ye yourselves are taught of God 
to love one another. 

10 ■ And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren 
which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, 
brethren, that ye increase more and more : 

1 1 k And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your 
own business, and to work with your own hands, as 
we commanded you ; 

12 1 That ye may walk honestly toward them that 
are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. 

13 m But I would not have you to be ignorant, 
brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye 
sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 

14 ™ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, 
even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring 
with him. 

15° For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, 
that we which are alive, and remain unto the coming 
of the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep.

THESSALONIANS. Christ's second coming aescribed. 

16 p For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with 
the trump of God : and the dead in Christ shall rise first : 

1 7 i Then we which are alive and remain,, shall be 
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the 
Lord in the air : and so shall we ever be with ' fie Lord. 

1 8 r Wherefore comfort one another with these 
words.

CHAP. I. 

1 Paul's good opinion of their faith, love, and patience : 
6 of God's punishing their enemies, and recompensing their 
sufferings. 

a "|~>AUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the 
JL church of the Thessalonians in God our Father 

and the Lord Jesus Christ : 

2 b Grace unto you, and peace, from God our 
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

3 c We are bound to thank God always for you, 
brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth 
exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all 
toward each other aboundeth : 

4 d So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches 
of God, for your patience and faith in all your perse- 
cutions and tribulations that ye endure ; 

5 e Which is a manifest token of the righteous judg- 
ment of God, that ye may be counted w T orthy of the 
kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer : 

6 f Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recom- 
pense tribulation to them that trouble you ; 

7 g And to you who are troubled, rest with us ; 
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven 
with his mighty angels, 

8 h In flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that 
know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our 
Lord Jesus Christ : 

9 ' Who shall be punished with everlasting destruc- 
tion from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory 
of his power ;

exhort by our Lord Jesus Cnnst, that with quietness 
they work, and eat their own bread. 

13 n But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing. 

14 ° And if any man obey not our word by this 
epistle, note that man, and have no company with 
him, that he may be ashamed. 

15 p Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish 
him as a brother. 



How icomen ought to be attired. 

16i Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace 
always by all means. The Lord be with j'ou all. 

17 'The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, 
which is the token in every epistle : so I write. 

1 8 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
all. Amen. 

IT The second epistle to the Thessalonians was 
written from Athens. 




f The First Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to TIMOTHY. 



CHAP. I. 

3 Paul remindeth Timothy of his charge. 5 TJie end of the 
commandment is charity. 8 The scope of the law was to 
condemn wickedness, which is also the design of the gospel. 

a "13AUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the com- 
JL mandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus 
Christ, which is our hope; 

2 b Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith : Grace, 
mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus 
Christ our Lord. 

3 c As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, 
when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest 
charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 

4 u Neither give heed to fables and endless gene- 
alogies, which minister questions, rather than godly 
edifying, which is in faith ; so do. 

5 e Now the end of the commandment is charity, 
out of a pure heart, and o/*a good conscience, and of 
faith unfeigned : 

6 f From which some having swerved, have turned 
aside unto vain jangling; 

7 E Desiring to be teachers of the law ; understand- 
ing neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 

8 h But we know that the law is good, if a man 
use it lawfully ; 

9 ' Knowing this, that the law is not made for a 
righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, 
for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and pro- 
fane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of 
mothers, for manslayers, 

10 k For whoremongers, for them that defile them- 
selves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for 
perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that 
is contrary to sound doctrine ; 

1 1 '■ According to the glorious gospel of the blessed 
God, which was committed to my trust. 

12 m And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath 
enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting 
me into the ministry; 

13 d Who was before a blasphemer, and a perse- 
cutor, and injurious : but I obtained mercy, because I 
did it ignorautly in unbelief. 

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding 
abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 

15 ° This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all 
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to 
save sinners ; of whom I am chief. 

1 6 Hovvbeil for this cause I obtained mercy, that 
in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long- 
suffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter 
believe on him to life everlasting. 

1 7 i' Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisi- 
ble, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever 
and ever. Amen. 

18 *» This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, 
according to the prophecies which went before on 



thee, that thou by them mightest war a good war- 
fare ; 

1 9 r Holding faith, and a good conscience ; which r chap, s, 9 
some having put away, concerning faith have made 
shipwreck : 

20 s Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander ; whom sicor.4,21 & 

1 have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not 2]c"or. Vs," 
to blaspheme. 

CHAP. II. 

1 He exhorteth to pray and give thanks for all men, 4 for God 
willeth the salvation of all men : 7 his commission to the 
Gentiles. 9 How women ought to be attired, <$»c. 

I EXHORT therefore, that, first of all, supplica- 
tions, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, 
be made for all men ; 

2 a For kings, and for all that are in authority ; 
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all 
godliness and honesty. 

3 b For this is good and acceptable in the sight of 
God our Saviour ; 

4 c Who will have all men to be saved, and to 
come unto the knowledge of the truth. 

5 d For there is one God, and one mediator between 
God and men, the man Christ Jesus ; 

6 e Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testi- 
fied in due time. 

7 f Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an Titns 2. it. 
apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not,) a 1 ivt.'i, is. 
teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 

8 s I will therefore that men pray every where, 
lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 

9 h In like manner also, that women adorn them- 
selves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and 
sobriety ; not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, 
or costly array ; 

10 But (which beebmeth women professing godli- 
ness) with good works. 

1 1 ' Let the woman learn in silence with all sub- 
jection. 

1 2 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp 
authority over the man, but to be in silence. 

1 3 k For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 

14 'And Adam was not deceived ; but the woman 
being deceived, was in the transgression. 

15 m Notwithstanding she shall be saved in child- 
bearing, if they continue in faith and charity and 
holiness witii sobriety. 

CHAP. III. 

2 How bishops, 8 deacons, 1 1 and their wives, should be 
qualified. 16 The important truths of the Christian 
revelation. 

a Fin HIS is a true saying, If a man desire the office 

JL of a bishop, he desketh a good work. 

2 b A bishop then must be blameless, the husband 
of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given 
to hospitality, apt to teach ;

Divers precepts to Timothy. CHAP. 

Acno 3 c Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of 

65. filthy lucre ; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous ; 

4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his 
children in subjection with all gravity ; 

5 (For if a. man know not how to rule his own 
house, how shall he take care of the church of God ?) 

6 Not a || novice, lest being lifted up with pride, he 
fall into the condemnation of the devil. 

7 d Moreover he must have a good report of them 
which are without ; lest he fall into reproach, and the 
snare of the devil. 

8 e Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double- 
tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy 
lucre ; 

9 r Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure con- 
science. 

1 And let these also first be proved ; then let 
them use the office of a deacon, being found blame- 
less. 

1 1 Even so must their wives be grave, not slander- 
ers, sober, faithful in all things. 

12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, 
ruling their children and their own houses well. 

13* For they that have used the office of a deacon 
well, purchase to themselves a good degree, and great 
boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 

14 II These things write I unto thee, hoping to come 
unto thee shortly : 

15 ' But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how 
thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, 
which is the church of the living God, the pillar and 
ground of the truth. 

16 k And, without controversy, great is the mys- 
tery of godliness : God was manifest in the flesh, jus- 
tified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the 
Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into 
glory. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 He foretelleth and describeth a great apostacy. 6 Di- 
rections to Timothy. 

" "^J"OW the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the 

i.^1 latter times some shall depart from the faith, 

giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils ; 

2 b Speaking lies in hypocrisy ; having their con- 
science seared with a hot iron ; 

3 e Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain 
from meats, which God hath created to be received 
with thanksgiving of them which believe and know 
the truth. 

4 d For every creature of God is good, and nothing 
to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving : 

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 

6 e If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these 
things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, 
nourished up in the words of faith, and of good doctrine, 
whereunto thou hast attained. 

7 f But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and 
exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 

8 g For bodily exercise profiteth little ; but godliness 
is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life 
that now is, and of that which is to come. 

9 h This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all 
acceptation. 

10 l For therefore we both labour and suffer re- 
proach, because we trust in the living God, who is the 
Saviour of all men, especially of those that believe. 

11 These things command and teach. 

12 k Let no man despise thy youth : but be thou an

example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in 
charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 

13 l Till I come, give attendance to leading, to 
exhortation, to doctrine. 

14 "Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was 
given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the 
hands of the presbytery. 

15 Meditate upon these things ; give thyself wholly 
to them : that thy profiting may appear to all. 

1 6 n Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine ; 
continue in them : for in doing this thou shalt both save 
thyself, and them that hear thee. 

CHAP. V. 

1 Rules to be observed in reproving. 3 Of widows and elders. 

23 A precept for Timothy'' s health. 
* i-£ EBUKE not an elder, but entreat him as a 
S\> father ; and the younger men as brethren ; 

2 b The elder women as mothers ; the younger as 
sisters, with all purity. 

3 c Honour widows that are widows indeed. 

4 d But if any widow have children or nephews, 
let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite 
their parents : for that is good and acceptable before 
God. 

5 e Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, 
trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and 
prayers night and day. 

6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she 
liveth. 

7 f And these things give in charge, that, they may 
be blameless. 

8 s But if any provide not for his own, and especially 
for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, 
and is worse than an infidel. 

9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under 
threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 

10 b Well reported of for good works; if she have 
brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if 
she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved 
the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good 
work. 

1 1 But the younger widows refuse : for when they 
have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will 
marry ; 

12 Having damnation, because they have cast off 
their first faith. 

13 'And withal they learn to be idle, wanderin 
about from house to house ; and not only idle, but tat- 
tlers also, and busybodies, speaking thing;! which they 
ought not. 

14 k I will therefore that the younger women mar- 
ry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion 
to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 

15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. 

16 ' If any man or woman that belicveth have 
widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church 
be charged ; that it may relieve them thai an- widows 
indeed. 

17 m Let the elders that rule well be counted wor- 
thy of double honour, especially they who labour in 
the word and doctrine. 

18 "For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle 
the ox that trcadcth out the corn : and, The labourer 
is worthy of his reward. 

19 "Against an elder receive not an accusation, 
but before two or three witnesses. 

20 >' Them that sin rebuke before all, that others 
also mav fear.

TJit duty of servants. 

21 1 1 charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus 
Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these 
things without preferring one before another, doing 
nothing by partiality. 

22 r Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be 
partaker of other men's sins : keep thyself pure. 

23 8 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine 
for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. 

24 * Some men's sins are open beforehand, going 
before to judgment; and some men they follow after. 

25 Likewise also the good works of some are ma- 
nifest beforehand ; and they that are otherwise cannot 
be hid. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 The duty of servants. 3 To avoid corrupt teachers. 6 The 
gain of godliness. 

ET as many servants as are under the yoke 
count their own masters worthy of all honour, 
that the name of Cod and his doctrine be not blas- 
phemed. 

2 And they that have believing masters, let them 
not despise them, because they are brethren ; but rather 
do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, 
partakers of the benefit. These things teach and 
exhort. 

3 h If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to 
wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to

IT The Second Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to TIMOTHY. 

CHAP. I. 



1 PauVs love to Timothy l 6 he exhorteth him to stir up the 
gift of God, 8 and not to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. 
15 Of Phygellus and Hermogenes. 

A.UL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of 
God, according to the promise of life which is in 
Christ Jesus, 

2 a To Timothy, my dearly beloved son : Grace, 
mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ 
Jesus our Lord. 

3 b I thank God, whom 1 serve from my fore- 
fathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I 
have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and 
day ; );, 

4 c Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy 
tears, that I may be filled with joy ; 

5 d When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith 
that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother 
Lois, and thy mother Eunice ; and I am persuaded 
that in thee also. 

6 * Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou 
stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting 
on of my hands. 



7 f For God hath not given us the spirit of fear ; but 
of power, of love, and of a sound mind. 

8 e Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony 
of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner : but be thou 
partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to 
the power of God ; 

9 h Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy- 
calling, not according to our works, but according to 
his own purpose and grace, which was given us in 
Christ Jesus before the world began ; 

10 4 But is now made manifest by the appearing of 
our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, 
and hath brought life and immortality to light through 
the gospel : 

1 1 k Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an 
apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 

12 ' For the which cause I also suffer these things : 
nevertheless I am not ashamed : for I know whom I 
have believed, and 1 am persuaded that he is able to 
keep that which I have committed unto him against 
that day. 

1 3 to Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou 
hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Exhortations to constancy. 

14 n That good thing which was committed unto 
thee, keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. 

15 ° This thou knowest, that all they which are in 
Asia be turned away from me ; of whom are Phygellus 
and Hermogenes. 

1 6 p The Lord give mercy unto the house of One- 
siphorus ; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed 
of my chain : 

17 i But when he was in Rome, he sought me out 
very diligently, and found me. 

1 8 T The Lord grant unto him that he may find 
mercy of the Lord in that day : and in how many 
things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest 
very well. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Timothy exhorted to constancy and perseverance, 15 and to 
shew himself approved. 

a FYIHOU therefore, my son, be strong in the grace 
JB_ that is in Christ Jesus. 

2 b And the things that thou hast heard of me among 
many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, 
who shall be able to teach others also. 

3 c Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier 
of Jesus Christ. 

4 d No man that warreth entangleth himself with 
the affairs of this life ; that he may please him who 
hath chosen him to be a soldier. 

5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he 
not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 

6 e The husbandman that laboureth must be first 
partaker of the fruits. 

7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee 
understanding in all things. 

8 r Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, 
was raised from the dead according to my gospel : 

9 g Wherein 1 suffer trouble, as an evil-doer, even 
unto bonds ; but the word of God is not bound. 

10 b Therefore 1 endure all things for the elect's 
sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which 
is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 

11 ' It i s a faithful saying : For if we be dead with 
him, we shall also live with him : 

1 2 k If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : If 
we deny him, he also will deny us-: 

13 ' If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful ; he 
cannot deny himself. 

14 m Of these things put them in remembrance, 
charging them before the Lord that they strive not 
about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the 
hearers. 

15 n Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a 
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly 
dividing the word of truth. 

16 ° But shun profane and vain babblings ; for they 
will increase unto more ungodliness : 

17 p And their word will eat as doth a canker: of 
whom is Hymencus and Philetus j 

18 i Who concerning the truth have erred, saying 
that the resurrection is past already ; and overthrow 
the faith of some. 

19 'Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth 
sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that 
are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name 
of Christ depart from iniquity. 

20 8 But in a great house there are not only vessels 
of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth ; 
and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 

21* If a man therefore purge himself from these, he

22 u Flee also youthful lusts ; but follow righteous- 
ness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the 
Lord out of a pure heart. 

23 x But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, 
knowing that they do gender strifes. 

24 y And the servant of the Lord must not strive; ]' a ™ '■ "• & 
but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 

25 z In meekness instructing those that oppose them- 
selves : if God peradventure will give them repentance 
to the acknowledging of the truth ; 

26 a And that they may recover themselves out of 
the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him 
at his will. 

CHAP. III. 

1 He foretelleth the -wickedness in the last days, 6 describeth 
the enemies of the truth, 16 and commendeth the holy 
scriptures. 

a rilHIS know also, that in the last days perilous 
_1_ times shall come. 

2 b For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to Acta -1, iV. 
parents, unthankful, unholy, 

3 c Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false 
accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that 
are good, 

4 d Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures 
more than lovers of God ; 

5 e Having a form of godliness, but denying the 
power thereof: from such turn away. 

6 f For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 
and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away 
with divers lusts, 

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the 
knowledge of the truth. 

8 g Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, 
so do these also resist the truth : men of corrupt minds, 
reprobate concerning the faith. 

9 h But they shall proceed no further : for their folly 
shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 

1 ' But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner 
of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience, 

1 1 k Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me 
at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra ; what persecutions 
I endured : but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 

1 2 ' Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus 
sha.U suffer persecution. 

13 D ' But evil men and seducers shall wax worst: 
and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 

14 " But continue thou in the things which thou hast 
learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom 
thou hast learned them ; 

1.5 ° And that from a child thou hast known the holy 
scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto 
salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 

16 p All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, 
for instruction in righteousness ; 

1 7 1 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly 
furnished unto all good works.

2 h Preach the word ; be instant in season, out of 
season ; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering 
and doctrine. 

3 c For the time will come when they will not 
endure sound doctrine ; but after their own lusts shall 
they heap to themselves teachers, having itching 
ears ; 

4 d And they shall turn away their ears from the 
truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 

5 e But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, 
do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy 
ministry. 

6 f For I am now ready to be offered, and the time 
of my departure is at hand. 

7 g I have fought a good fight, I have finished my 
course, I have kept the faith : 

8 h Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of 
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, 
shall give me at that day : and not to me only, but 
unto all them also that love his appearing. 

9 5 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me : 

1 k For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this 
present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica ; 
Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 

1 1 ' Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and 
bring him with thee ; for he is profitable to me for the 
ministry.

14 n Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: 
the Lord reward him according to his works : 

1 5 Of whom be thou ware also ; for he hath greatly 
withstood our words. 

1 6 ° At my first answer no man stood with me, but 
all men forsook me : I pray God that it may not be 
laid to their charge. 

1 7 p Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and 
strengthened me : that by me the preaching might be 
fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear : 
and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 

18 q And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil 
work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom : 
to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I left at Miletum sick. 

21 t Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus 
greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, 
and all the brethren. 

22 u The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. 

Grace be with you. Amen.

IF The Epistle of PAUL to TITUS. 



CHAP. I. 

5 Why Titus was left at Crete. 6 How ministers should be 

qualified. 10 Of evil-doers. 
a TJ AUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus 
Wt Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and 
the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 

2 b In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot 
lie, promised before the world began ; 

3 c But hath in due time manifested his word through 
preaching, which is committed unto me, according to 
the commandment of God our Saviour ; 

4 d To Titus, mine own son after the common faith : 
Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and 
the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. 

5 e For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou 
shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and 
ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee : 

6 f If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, 
having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly. 

7 g For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward 
of God ; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to 
wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre ; 

8 h But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, 
sober, just, holy, temperate ; 

9 ' Holding fast the faithful word, as he hath been 
taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both 
to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 

1 k For there are many unruly and vain talkers 
and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision : 

1 1 ' Whose mouths must be stopped ; who subvert 
whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, 
for filthy lucre's sake. 

12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, 
said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow 
bellies. 



13 m This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them 
sharply ; that they may be sound in the faith ; 

14 n Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and com- 
mandments of men that turn from the truth. 

15 ° Unto the pure all things are pure; but unto 
them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure ; 
but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 

16 p They profess that they know God ; but in 
works they deny him, being abominable, and disobe- 
dient, and unto every good work reprobate. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Directions given unto Titus both for his doctrine and life. 

9 Of the duty of servants, &rc. 

UT speak thou the things which become sound 
doctrine. 

2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, 
sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 

3 h The aged women likewise, that they be in be- 
haviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not 
given to much wine, teachers of good things ; 

4 That they may teach the young women to be 
sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 

5 c To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, 
obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God 
be not blasphemed. 

6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober-minded. 

7 d In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good 
works ; in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, 
sincerity, 

8 e Sound speech that cannot be condemned ; that 
he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having 
no evil thing to say of you. 

9 f Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own 
masters, and to please them well in all things; not 
answering again ;

Titus is yet further directed by Paul, both concerning the 

things he should teach, and not teach, <^c. 
a "13UT them in mind to be subject to principalities 
MT and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready 
to every good work, 

2 b To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but 
gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 

3 c For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, 
disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and plea- 
sures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating 
one another. 

4 d But after that the kindness and love of God our 
Saviour toward man appeared,

1 Paul's joy in hearing of the faith and love of Philemon. 

10 Onesimus entreated for. 
3 TJAUL, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy 
JL our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, 
and fellow-labourer, 

2 b And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our 
fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house : 

3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father 
and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

4 c I thank my God, making mention of thee always 
in my prayers, 

5 J Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast 
toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 

6 e That the communication of thy faith may become 
effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing 
which is in you in Christ Jesus. 

7 f For we have great joy and consolation in thy 
love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by 
thee, brother. 

8 g Wherefore, though I might be much bold in 
Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, 

9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being 
such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner 
of Jesus Christ ; 

10 '' I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I

1 1 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, 
but now profitable to thee and to me : 

12 Whom I have sent again : thou therefore receive 
him, that is, mine own bowels ; 

13 ' Whom I would have retained with me, that in 



thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the 
bonds of the gospel : 

14 k But without thy mind would I do nothing; that k2Cor. 9. 7 
thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but 
willingly.

unto thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord ? 

17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive 
him as myself.

put that on mine account ; 

19 1 Paul have written it with mine own hand, I 
will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou

CHAP. I. 

1 The essential dignity of the Son, by whom God hath revealed 
himself in these last days : 4 his pre-eminence above the 
angels in office. 

OD, who at sundry times and in divers manners 
spake in time past unto the fathers by the 
prophets, 

2 b Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his 
Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by 
whom also he made the worlds ; 

3 c Who being the brightness of his glory, and the 
express image of his person, and upholding all things 
by the word of his power, when he had by himself 
purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the 
Majesty on high ; 

4 d Being made so much better than the angels, as 
he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name 
than they. 

5 e For unto which of the angels said he at any 
time, -Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee ? 
And again, 1 will be to him a Father, and he shall be 
to me a Son ? 

6 f And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten 
into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God 
worship him. 

7 g And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his 
angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 

8 h But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, 
is for ever and ever : a sceptre of righteousness is the 
sceptre of thy kingdom : 

9 ' Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity ^ 
therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with 
the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 

10 k And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid 
the foundation of the earth ; and the heavens are the 
works of thy hands : 

1 1 They shall perish, but thou remainest ; and they 
all shall wax old as doth a garment ; 

1 2 And as a vesture shaft thou fold them up, and 
they shall be changed : but thou art the same, and 
thy years shall not fail. 

1 3 ' But to which of the angels said he at any time, 
Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy 
footstool ? 

14 m Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth 
to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation ? 

CHAP. II. 

1 Our obligation to give earnest h6>ed to the gospel. 5 The 
dominion of the -world not granted to angels, but to the 
Son, fyc. 

a npHEREFORE wa ought to give the more ear- 
JL nest heed to the things which we have heard, 

lest at any time we should let them slip. 

2 b For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, 
and every transgression and disobedience received a 
just recompense of reward ; 

3 c How shall we escape, if we neglect so great 
salvation ; which at the first began to be spoken by 
the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that 
heard him ; 

4 d God also bearing them witness, both with signs 
and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of 
the Holy Ghost, according to his own will ? 

5 e For unto the angels hath he not put in subjec- 
tion the world to come, whereof we speak. 

6 f But one in a certain place testified, saying, 



What is man, that thou art mindful of him ? or the 
son of man, that thou visitest him ? 

7 s Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; 
thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst 
set him over the works of thy hands : 

8 h Thou hast put all things in subjection under his 
feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, 
he left nothing that is not put under him. But now 
we see not yet all things put under him. 

9 ' But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower 
than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned 
with glory and honour ; that he by the grace of God 
should taste death for every man. 

10 k For it became him, for whom are all things, 
and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons 
unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation 
perfect through sufferings. 

1 1 l For both he that sanctifieth and they who are 
sanctified are all of one : for which cause he is not 
ashamed to call them brethren ; 

12 m Saying, I will declare thy name unto my 
brethren ; in the midst of the church will I sing praise 
unto thee. 

13 u And again, I will put my trust in him. And 
again, Behold I and the children which God hath 
given me. 

14° Forasmuch then as the children are partakers 
of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part 
of the same ; that through death he might destroy 
him that had the power of death, that is, the devil ; 

15 p And deliver them who through fear of death 
were all their life-time subject to bondage. 

16 For verily he took not on him the nature of 
angels ; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 

17 q Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be 
made like unto his brethren, that he might be a mer- 
ciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to 
God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people : 

18 r For in that he himself hath suffered, being 
tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 

CHAP. III. 
1 Christ is shewed to be more worthy than Moses : 7 there- 
fore we must be careful not to follow the example of the 
obstinate and unbelieving Israelites, fyc. 

a "M/'HEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the 
TV heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and 
High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus ; 

2 b Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as 
also Moses was faithful in all his house. 

3 c For this man was counted worthy of more glory 
than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the 
house hath more honour than the house. 

4 d For every house is builded by some man ; but 
he that built all things is God. , 

5 e And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, 
as a servant, for a testimony of those things which 
were to be spoken after ; 

6 f But Christ as a Son over his own house ; whose 
house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the 
rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. 

7 s Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To-day, 
if ye will hear his voice, 

8 h Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, 
in the day of temptation in the wilderness ; 

9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and 
saw my works forty years.

10 'Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, 
and said, They do always err in their hearts ; and 
they have not known my ways. 

11 k So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter 
into my rest.) 

12 ' Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of 
you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the 
living God. 

13 m But exhort one another daily, while it is 
called To-day ; lest any of you be hardened through 
the deceitfulness of sin. 

1 4 n For we are made partakers of Christ, if we 
hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto 
the end ; 

15 ° While it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his 
voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 

16 p For some, when they had heard, did provoke : 
howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 

17i But with whom was he grieved fort}? years ? 
vias it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases 
fell in the wilderness ? 

1 8 r And to whom sware he that they should not 
enter into his rest, but to them that believed not ? 

19 s So we see that they could not enter in because 
of unbelief. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 The Christian' 1 s rest to be attained by faith. 12 Tlie power 
of God's word, 4"C. 

a 1 ' ET us therefore fear, lest a promise being left 
JLi us of entering into his rest, any of you should 
seem to come short of it. 

2 b For unto us was the gospel preached, as well 
as unto them : but the word preached did not profit 
them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 

3 c For we which have believed do enter into rest ; 
as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they 
shall enter into my rest: although the works were 
finished from the foundation of the world. 

4 d For he spake in a certain place of the seventh 
day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day 
from all his works. 

5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into 
my rest. 

6 e Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must 
enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached 
entered not in because of unbelief: 

7 f Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in 
David, To-day, after so long a time; (as it is -said) 
To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your 
hearts. 

8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he 
not afterward have spoken of another day. 

9 g There remaineth therefore a rest to the people 
of God. 

10 h For he that is entered into his rest, ho also 
hath ceased from his own works, as God did from 
his. 

1 1 '' Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, 
lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 

12 k For the word of God is quick, and powerful, 
and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even 
to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the 

16.&90.8.& joints and marrow, and is a disccrner of the thoughts 
p 3 roV. i5,*ii. and intents of the heart. 

1 3 ' Neither is there any creature that is not mani- 
fest in his sight : but all things are naked and opened 
unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

. Of Chrisfs priesthood. 

that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, 
let us hold fast our profession. 

15 n For we have not a high priest which cannot 
be touched with the feeling of our infirmities ; but 
was in all points tempted like as toe are, yet without 
sin. 

1 6 ° Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of \ Pet. 2, 22 
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to I w^k 
help in time of need. 

CHAP. V. 

Of the high priests taken from among men; wherewith Christ's 

priesthood is compared, and its privileges set forth. 
* XfOR every high priest taken from among men is 
JF ordained for men in tilings pertaining to God, 
that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins : 

2 b Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and b ch - 2 - ,s 
on them that are out of the way -, for that he himself 23. ' ' 
also is compassed with infirmity. 

3 c And by reason hereof he ought, as for the peo- 
ple, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 

4 ll And no man taketh this honour unto himself, 
but he that is called of God, as tvas Aaron. 

5 e So also Christ glorified not himself to be made 40 - 
a high priest ; but he that said unto him, Thou art my 2 cj>r! :»! ie 
Son, to-day have I begotten thee. 

6 f As he saith also in another place, Thou art a 
priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedec. 

7 s Who in the days of his flesh, when he had 7, 
offered up prayers and supplications, with strong cry- jiS^ 2 ™? 
ing and tears, unto him that was able to save him from ^.tctxi, *&. 
death, and was heard in that he feared 5 

8 h Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedi- 
ence by the things which he suffered ; 

9 ' And being made perfect, he became the author 
of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him ; 

10 k Called of God a high priest, after the order of 
Melchisedec. 

1 1 ' Of whom we have many things to say, and 
hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 

1 2 m For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, 
ye have need that one teach you again which be the 
first principles of the oracles of God ; and are become 
such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 

13 n For everyone that useth milk is unskilful in 
the word of righteousness : for he is a babe. 

14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of 
full age, even those who, by reason of use, have their 
senses exercised to discern both good and evil. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 The higher doctrines of Christianity proposed to be treated 
of. 10 Of charitable deeds, $-c. 
HEREFORD, leaving the principles of the 
doctrine of Christ, let us goon unto perfection; 
not laying again the foundation of repentance from 
dead works, and of faith toward God, 

2 h Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on 
of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and oi 
eternal judgment. 

3 c And this will we do, if God permit. 

4 ll For it is impossible for those who were once 
enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and 
were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 

5 e And have, tasted the good word of God, and the 
powers of the world to come, 

6 f If they shall fall away, to renew them again 
unto repentance ; seeing they crucify to themselves the 
Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

God*s promise is sure. HEBREW S. 

cometh oft upon it, and brmgeth forth herbs meet for 
them by whom it is dr6ssed, receiveth blessing from 
God: 

8 s But that which beareth thorns arid briers is 
rejected, and is nigh unto cursing 5 whose end is to be 
burned. 

9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of 
you, and things that accompany salvation, though we 
thus speak. 

10 h For God is not unrighteous, to forget your work 
and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his 
name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do 
minister. 

1 1 ' And we desire that every one of you do shew 
the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto 
the end : 

12 k That ye be not slothful, but followers of them 
who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 

13 'For when God made promise to Abraham, 
because he could swear by no greater, he sware by 
himself, 

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and 
multiplying I will multiply thee. 

15 m And so, after he had patiently endured, he 
obtained the promise. 

16 n For men verily swear by the greater: and an 
oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 

17° Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew 
unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his 
counsel, confirmed it by an oath ; 

18 p That by two immutable things, in which it was 
impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong con- 
solation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the 
hope set before us : 

19 q Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, 
both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that 
within the vail ; 

20 r Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even 
Jesus, made a high priest for ever after the order of 
Melchisedec. 

CHAP. VII. 

1 Christ, a priest after the order of Melchisedec, 1 1 is proved 
to be far more excellent than the priests of Aaron' 's order. 

8 li^OR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of 
m} the most high God, who met Abraham return- 
ing from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him ; 

2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all : 
first being, by interpretation, King of righteousness, 
and after that also, King of Salem, which is, King of 
peace ; 

3 Without father, without mother, without descent, 
having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; 
but, made like unto the Son of God, abideth a priest 
continually. 

4 b Now consider how great this man ivas, unto 
whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of 
the spoils. 

5 c And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who 
receive the office of the priesthood, have a command- 
ment to take tithes of the people according to the law, 
that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the 
loins of Abraham : 

6 d But he, whose descent is not counted from them, 
received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had 
the promises. 

7 e And without all contradiction the less is blessed 
of the better. 

8 r And here men that die receive tithes ; but there

Christ's priestJ/ood above Aaron's. 

he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he 
liveth. 

9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth 
tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. 

1 g For he was yet in the loins of his father, when 
Melchisedec met him. 

11 h If therefore perfection were by the Levitical 
priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) cnapteJVi. 
what further need was there that another priest should 
rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called 
after the order of Aaron ? 

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made 
of necessity a change also of the law. 

13 For he of whom these things are spoken, per- 
taineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attend- 
ance at the altar. 

1 4 ' For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of jjsa. u,\. 
Juda ; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning 
priesthood. 

1 5 k And it is yet far more evident : for that after the 
similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 

16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal com- 
mandment, but after the power of an endless life. 

1 7 ' For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after 1 p s . no, 4 
the order of Melchisedec. 

1 8 m For there is verily a disannulling of the com- 
mandment going before, for the weakness and un- 
profitableness thereof: 

19 n For the law made nothing perfect; but the n John i.rt 
bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw Rom.'l'at;

4 d For if he were on earth, he should not be a 
priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts 
according to the law ; 

5 e Who serve unto the example and shadow of 
heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God 
when he was about to make the tabernacle : for, See, 
(saith he) that thou make all things according to the 
pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 

6 f But now hath he obtained a more excellent 
ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a 
better covenant, which was established upon better 
promises. 

7 E For if that first covenant had been faultless, then 
should no place have been sought for the second. 

8 h For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, 
the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a 
new covenant with the house of Israel and the house 
of Judah ; 

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with 
their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand 
to lead them out of the land of Egypt : because they 
continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them 
not, saiih the Lord. 

10 i For this is the covenant that I will make with 
the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord ; I 
will put my laws into their mind, and write them in 
their hearts ; and I will be to them a God, and they 
shall be to me a people : 

1 1 k And they shall not teach eveiy man his neigh- 
bour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord : 
for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 

1 2 ' For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, 
and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no 
more. 

13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made 
the first old. Now that which decay eth and waxeth 
old, is ready to vanish away. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 By the imperfection, of Oie legal sacrifices, 11 he sheweth 
the efficacy of the blood of Christ. 16 The necessity of 
Christ's death. 

a npHEN verily the first covenant had also ordinan- 
JL ces of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. 

2 b For there was a tabernacle made ; the first, 
wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the 
shew-bread, which is called the Sanctuary : 

3 c And, after the second veil, the tabernacle, which 
is called the Holiest of all ; 

4 d Which' had the golden censer, and the ark of the 
covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was 
the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that 
budded, and the tables of the covenant ; 

5 c And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing 
the mercy-seat : of which we cannot now speak par- 
ticularly. 

6 f Now when these things were thus ordained, the 
priests went always into the first tabernacle, accom- 
plishing the service of God : 

7 "• g u t into the second went the high priest alone 
once every year, not without blood, which he offered 
for himself, and for the errors of the people: 

8 h The Holy Ghost this signifying, That the way 
into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while 
as the first tabernacle was yet standing : 

9 ' Which was a figure for the time then present, in 
which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could 
not make him that did the service perfect as pertaining 
to the conscience ; 

4Z 



CHAP. IX, X.

The efficacy of the blood of Christ. 
only in meats and drinks, and 



Anno 

divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on D °64. m 
them until the time of reformation. s^-v-*./ 

1 1 ' But Christ being come a high priest of good ^wVuN 
things to come, by a greater and more perfect taber- coTVilUo 
nacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this 
building ; 

12 m Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but 
by his own blood, he entered in once into the holy 
place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 

13 n For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the i vlut Is! 
ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to R 
the purifying of the flesh ; 

14 ° How much more shall the blood of Christ, who 
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot 
to God, purge your conscience from dead works to N^isf.a.n. 
serve the living God 1 

1 5 p And for this cause he is the Mediator of the 
new testament, that by means of death, for the redemp- 
tion of the transgressions that were under the first 
testament, they which are called might receive the |p»>- s, 
promise of eternal inheritance. ch." 3 , 3. & 

1G For where a testament is, there must also of 
necessity be the death of the testator. 

17 q For a testament is of force after men are dead : 
otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator 
liveth. 

18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedi- 
cated without blood. 

19 r For when Moses had spoken every precept to 
all the people according to the law, he took the blood J^'J' ~ 
of calves and of goats, with water and scarlet wool, fcW, 5,'e ' 
and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book and all the kiifttfit' 
people, I3, 

20 s Saying, This is the blood of the testament 
which God hath enjoined unto you. 

21 ' Moreover, he sprinkled likewise with blood 
both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry

22 u And almost all things are by the law purged jx* 
with blood ; and without shedding of blood is no 
remission. 

23 x It was therefore necessaiy that the patterns of 
things in the heavens should be purified with these ; 
but the heavenly things themselves with better sacri- 
fices than these. 

24 y For Christ is not entered into the holy places yRom 
made with hands, which are the figures of the true ; 
but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence 
of God for us : 

25 z Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as •J , - , - li f! , ^ 
the high priest entereth into the holy place every year chapter 9.7] 
with blood of others ; 

26 a For then must he often have suffered since the %mm. a* s. 
foundation of the world : but now once, in the nu] ol , 
the world, hath he appeared, to put away sin by the 
sacrifice of himself. 

27 b And as it is appointed unto men once to die, 
but after this the judgment ; . 

28 c So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of £ 
many; and unto them that look for him shall lie 
appear the second time, without sin, unto salvation.

2 For then would they not have ceased to be of- 
fered ? because that the worshippers once purged 
should have had no more conscience of sins. 

3 b But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance 
again made of sins every year. 

4 c For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and 
of goats should take away sins. 

5 d Wherefore, when he? cometh into the world, he 
saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a 
body hast thou prepared me : 

6 In burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast 
had no pleasure : 

7 e Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the 
book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God. 

8 Above, when he said, Sacrifice, and offering, and 
burnt-offerings, and offering for sin, thou wouldest not, 
neither hadst pleasure therein ; which are offered by 
the law ; 

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. 
He taketh away the first, that he may establish the 
second. 

10 f By the which will we are sanctified, through 
the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 

1 1 g And every priest standeth daily ministering, 
and offering oftentimes the same sacrifice, which can 
never take away sins : 

12 h But this man, after he had offered one sacri- 
fice for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of 
God; 

13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be 
made his footstool. 

14 ' For by one offering he hath perfected for ever 
them that are sanctified. 

1 5 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to 
us : for after that he had said before, 

16 k This is the covenant that I will make with 
them after those days, saith the Lord ; I will put my 
laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write 
them ; 

1 7 And their sins and iniquities will I remember 
no more. 

1 8 Now where remission of these is, there is no 
more offering for sin. 

1 9 ' Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter 
into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 

20 m By a new and living way which he hath con- 
secrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his 
flesh ; 

21 n And having a high priest over the house of God ; 
" Let us draw near with a true heart, in full 



22 
assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from 
an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure 
water. 

p,3 p Let us hold fast the profession of our faith 
without wavering ; (for he is faithful that promised ;) 

24 i Let us consider one another, to provoke unto 
love and to good works : 

25 r Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves to- 
gether, as the manner of some is ; but exhorting one 
another : and so much the more as ye see the day 
approaching. 

26 a For if we sin wilfully after that we have re- 
ceived the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth 
no more sacrifice for sins, 

27 l But a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and 
fiery indignation, winch shall devour the adversaries. 




An exhortation to steadfast faith 

28 u He that despised Moses' law died without 
mercy under two or three witnesses : 

29 * Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, 
shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under k^To 6, v 
foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the 
covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy 
thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace ? 

30 y For we know him that hath said, Vengeance 
belongelh unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. 
And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 

31 z It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the

1 The nature of faith. 6 Without faith we cannot please 
God: the fruits of faith. 

a TW'Q ^ aitn IS ^ ie SUDS t ance °f things hoped for, 
X ^1 the evidence of things not seen. 

2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 

3 b Through faith we understand that the worlds 
were framed by the word of God, so that things which 2 Thes. 2,14. 
are seen were not made of things which do appear. a Rom? 8, W 

4 c By faith Abel offered unto God a more excel- 2 
lent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness 
that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts : and 
by it he, being dead, yet speaketh. 

5 d By faith Enoch was translated that he should 
not see death ; and was not found, because God had 
translated him : for before his translation he had this 
testimony, that he pleased God. 

6 e But without faith it is impossible to please him : 
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and 
that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek liim. 

7 f By faith Noah, being warned of God of things 
not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to 
the saving of his house ; by the which he condemned 
the world, and became heir of the righteousness which 
is by faith. 

8 g By faith Abraham, when he was called to go phiiip.Vft 
out into a place which he should after receive for an I ?*£ 2; s° 
inheritance, obeyed ; and he went out, not knowing I®,™","'. 3 * 
whither he went. Nel 4 't"' s ' 

9 h By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in aA* 7,V 
a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac ^sTiaMs^ 
and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise : f^f^J^

called their God ; for he hath prepared for them a city. 

17 °By faiih Abraham, when he was tried, offered 
up Isaac ; and he that had received the promises, 
offered up his only-begotten son, 

18 p Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy 
seed be called : 

1 9 q Accounting that God was able to raise him up, 
even from the dead ; from whence also he received 
him in a figure. 

20 r By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau con- 
cerning things to come. 

21 8 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed 
both the sons of Joseph ; and worshipped, leaning 
upon the top of his staff. 

22 l By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention 
of the departing of the children of Israel ; and gave 
commandment concerning his bones. 

23 u By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid 
three months of his parents, because they saw he was 
a proper child; and they were not || afraid of the king's 
commandment. 

24 x By faith Moses, when he was come to years, 
refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter ; 

25 Cnoosing rather to suffer affliction with the 
people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for 
a season ; 

26 y Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater 
riches than the treasures of Egypt : for lie had respect 
unto the recompense of the reward. 

27 z By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath 
of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 

28 * Through faith he kept the passover, and the 
sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the first-born 
should touch them. 

29 b By faith they passed through the Red Sea as 
by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do, were 
drowned. 

30 c By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after 
they were compassed about seven flays. 

31 d By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them

peace.

The danger of refusing the word. JAi\ 

grace of God ; lest any root of bitterness springing up 
trouble you, and thereby many be defiled ; 

16 q Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, 
as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 

17 r For ye know how that afterward, when he 
would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected : 
for he found no place of repentance, though he sought 
it carefully with tears. 

1 8 8 For ye are not come unto the mount that might 
be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto black- 
ness, and darkness, and tempest, 

1 9 * And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of 
words ; which voice they that heard, entreated that the 

2.& word should not be spoken to them any more: 

20 u (For they could not endure that which was 
commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the 
mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a 
dart. 

21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, 
I exceedingly fear and quake :) 

22 x But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto 
the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and 
to an innumerable company of angels, 

23 y To the general assembly and church of the 
first-born, which are written in heaven, and to God 
the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made 
perfect, 

24 z And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, 
and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better 
things than that of Abel. 

25 a See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For 
if they escaped not who refused him that spake on 
earth, much more shall not we escape if we turn away 
from him that speaketh from heaven : 

26 b Whose voice then shook the earth : but now 
he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not 
the earth only, but also heaven. 

27 c And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the 
removing of those things that are shaken, as of things 
that are made, that those things which cannot be 

tpeti,l'i i0 b. shaken may remain. 

28 d Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which can- 
not be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may 
serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear 

29 e For our God is a consuming fire.

he that wavereth, is like a wave of the sea driven with 
the wind and tossed. 

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive 
any thing of the Lord. 

8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. 

9 e Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he 
is exalted ; 

10 f But the rich, in that he is made low : because 
as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 

1 1 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning 
heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof 
falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perishetli : so 
also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 

12 s Blessed is the man that endureth temptation : 
for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, 
which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 

13 h Let no man say when he is tempted, I am 
tevnpted of God : for God cannot be tempted with evil, 
neither tempteth he any man : 

1 4 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn 
away of his own lust, and enticed. 

15 ' Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth 
forth sin : and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth 
death. 

1 6 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 

1 7 k Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from 
above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, 
with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of 
turning. 

18 L Of his own will begat he us with the word of 
truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his 
creatures. 

19 m Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every 
man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath : 

20 n For the wrath of man worketh not the right- 
eousness of God. 

21 ° Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and super- 
fluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the 
engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 

22 p But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers 
only, deceiving your own selves. 

23 q For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a 
doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face 
in a glass : 

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and 
straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 

25 r But whoso looketh into the perfect law of 
liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forget- 
ful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be 
blessed in his deed. 

26 3 If any man among you seem to be religious, 
and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own 
heart, this man's religion is vain. 

27 l Pure religion, and undefiled before God and 
the Father, is this, To visit the fatherless and widows 
in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from 
the world. 

CHAP. II. 

1 We must not regard the rich, and despise the poor. 10 The 
guilt of any one breach of the law. 17 Faith without 
•works is dead. 

* T11"Y brethren, have not the faith of our Lord 
1TJI Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of 
persons. 

2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with 
a gold ring, in goodly apparel ; and there come in also 
a poor man in vile raiment ; 

3 b And ye have respect to him that weareth the 



H, III. Of faith and 

gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good 
place ; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit 
here under my footstool : 

4 c Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are 
become judges of evil thoughts? 

5 a Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God 
chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs 
of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that 
love him ? 

6 e But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men 
oppress you, and draw you before the judgment-seats ? 

7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the 
which ye are called ? 

8 f If ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scrip- 
ture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do 
well : 

9 E But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit 
sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 

10 h For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and 
yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 

1 1 ' For he that sajd, Do not commit adultery, said 
also, Do not kill. I\ow if thou commit no adultery, 
yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the 
law. 

1 2 k So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be 
judged by the law of liberty. 

13 ' For he shall have judgment without mercy, that 
hath shewed no mercy, and mercy rejoiceth against 
judgment. 

14 m What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man 
say he hath faith, and have not works ? Can faith save 
him ? 

15 n If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute 
of daily food, 

16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, 
be ye warmed and filled ; notwithstanding ye give 
them not those things which are needful to the body ; 
what doth it profit ? 

1 7 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being 
alone. 

1 8 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have 
works : shew me thy faith without thy works, and I 
will shew thee my faith by my works. 

1 9 ° Thou believest that there is one God ; thou 
doest well : the devils also believe, and tremble. 

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith with- 
out works is dead ? 

21 '' Was not Abraham our father justified by works, 
when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 

22 '! Scest thou how faith wrought with his works, 
and by works was faith made perfect ? 

23 r And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, 
Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him 
for righteousness : and he was called the Friend of God. 

24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, 
and not by faith only. 

25 • Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified 
by works, when she had received the messengers, and 
had sent them out another way ? 

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so 
faith without works is dead also.

Of governing the tongue. JAMES 

offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and 
able also to bridle the whole body. 

3 c Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that 
they may obey us ; and we turn about their whole body. 

4 d Behold also the ships, which though they be so 
great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they 
turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever 
the governor listeth. 

5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boast- 
eth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little 
fire kindleth ! 

6 e And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity : so 
is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the 
whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature ; 
and it is set on fire of hell. 

7 For eveiy kind of beasts, and of birds, and of 
serpents, and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath 
been tamed of mankind : 

8 f But the tongue can no man tame ; it is an unruly 
evil, full of deadly poison. 

9 E Therewith bless we God, even the P'ather; and 
therewith curse we men, which are made after the 
similitude of God. 

10 Out of the same mouth procoedeth blessing and 
cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 

1 1 Doth a fountain send forth at the same t place 
sweet water and bitter ? 

12 Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olive-berries ? 
either a vine, figs ? so can no fountain both yield salt 
water and fresh.

a wise man 
ledge among you ? let him shew out of a good con- 
versation his works with meekness of wisdom. 

1 4 ' But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your 
hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 

1 5 k This wisdom descendeth not from above, but 
is earthly, sensual, devilish. 

16 ' For where envying and strife is, there is con- 
fusion and every evil work. 

1 7 m But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, 
then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full 
of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and 
without hypocrisy. 

1 8 n And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace 
of them that make peace. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Our evil lusts cause contention : 7 how we may overcome 

them, and gain God's favour. 
a ijlROM whence come wars and fightings among 
JD you ? come they not hence, even of your lusts 
that war in your members ? 

2 b Ye lust, and have not : ye kill, and desire to 
have, and cannot obtain : ye fight and war, yet ye 
have not, because ye ask not. 

3 c Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, 
that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 

4 d Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not 
that the friendship of the world is enmity with God ? 
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world, is 
the enemy of God. 

5 e Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The 
spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy ? 

6 f But he giveth more grace : wherf^bre he saith, 
God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the 




TJie uncertainty of life. 

Cleanse your hands, ye sinners : and purify your hearts, 
ye double-minded. 

9 ' Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep : let your . 
laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to chapters' 
heaviness. 

10 k Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, 
and he shall lift you up. 

1 1 ' Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He

CHAP. I. 

1 The apostle's address: 3 he blesseth God for their hope of 
a blessed immortality : 10 he shewelh that their salvation 
in Christ had been foretold by the prophets of old, fyc. 

ETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the stran- 
gers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cap- 
padocia, Asia, and Bythinia, 

2 b Elect according to the foreknowledge of God 
the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto 
obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; 
Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 

3 c Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy 
hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the 
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 

4 u To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, 
and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 

5 e Who are kept by the power of God through faith 
unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. 

6 f Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a 
season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through mani- 
fold temptations: 

7 g That the trial of your faith, being much more 
precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be 
tried with hie, might be found unto praise and honour 
and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ : 

8 h Whom having not seen, ye love ; in whom, 
though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice 
with joy unspeakable and full of glory : 

9 ' Receiving the end of your faith, even the salva- 
tion of your souls. 

10 " Of which salvation the prophets have inquired 
and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace 
that should come unto you : 

1 1 ' Searching what, or what manner of time the 
Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when 
it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and 
the glory that should follow. 

12 m Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto 
themselves, but unto us, they did minister the things 
which are now reported unto you by them that have 
preached the gospel unto you, with the Holy Ghost 
sent down from heaven ; which things the angels 
desire to look into. 

13 n Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be 
sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be 
brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ ; 

1 4 ° As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves 
according to the former lusts in your ignorance : 

15 p But as he which hath called you is holy, so 
be ye holy in all manner of conversation ; 

1 6 q Because it is written, Be ye holy ; for I am holy. 

1 7 r And if ye call on the Father, who without 



respect of persons judgeth according to every man's 
work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear : 

18 s Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not re- 
deemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, 
from your vain conversation received by tradition from 
your fathers ; 

19 * But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a 
lamb without blemish and without spot : 

20 u Who verily was fore-ordained before the foun- 
dation of the world, but was manifest in these last 
times for you ; 

21 x Who by him do believe in God, that raised 
him up from the dead, and gave him glory, that your 
faith and hope might be in God. 

22 y Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying 
the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the 
brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure 
heart fervently : 

23 z Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but 
of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth 
and abideth for ever. 

24 a For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of 
man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, 
and the flower thereof falleth away : 

25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. 
And this is the word which by the gospel is preached 
unto you. 

CHAP. II. 

1 He incileth them against uncharitableness ; 4 he sheweth 

their privileges through Christ the chief corner-stone : 

1 1 he beseecheth them to abstain from fleshly lusts, 4«c. 

HEREFORE, laying aside all malice and all 

guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and evil 

speakings, 

2 As new-born babes, desire the sincere milk of 
the word, that ye may grow thereby : 

3 b If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 

4 c To whom coming, as unto a living s*one, disal- 
lowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 

5 J Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual 
house, a holy priesthood, to oiler up spiritual sacrifices, 
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 

6 e Wherefore it is contained in the scripture, 
Behold, I lav in Sion a chief corner-stone, elect, 
precious : and he that believeth on him shall not be 
confounded : 

7 r Unto you therefore which believe, he is precious : 
but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which 
the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of 
the corner, 

8 « And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of olfence, 
even to them which stumble at the word, being diso- 
bedient: whereur.to also they were appointed.

Of obedience to magistrates. I. PETER. 

9 h But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priest- 
hood, a holy nation, a peculiar people 5 that ye should 
shew forth the praises of him who hath called you 
ou' jf darkness into his marvellous light : 

1 ' Which in time past were not a people, but are 
now the people of God : which had not obtained 
mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 

1 1 k Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers 
and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war 
against the soul ; 

12 ' Having your conversation honest among the 
Gentiles : that whereas they speak against you as evil 
doers, they may by your good works, which they shall 
behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 

1 3 m Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for 
the Lord's sake : whether it be to the king, as supreme ; 

1 4 n Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent 
by him for the punishment of evil doers, and for the 
praise of them that do well. 

15 ° For so is the will of God, that with well-doing 
ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men ; 

16 p As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak 
of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. 

1 7 q Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear 
God. Honour the king. 

18 r Servants, be subject to your masters with all 
fear ; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the 
froward. 

19 8 For this is thank-worthy, if a man for con- 
science toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 

20 * For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted 
for your faults, ye shall take it patiently ? but if, when 
ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this 
is acceptable with God. 

2 1 u For even hereunto were ye called : because 
Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that 
ye should follow his steps : 

22 x Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his 
mouth : 

23 y Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again ; 
when he suffered, he threatened not ; but committed 
himself to him that judgeth righteously : 

24 z Who his own self bare our sins in his own body 
on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live 
unto righteousness : by whose stripes ye were healed. 

25 a For ye were as sheep going astray ; but are now 
returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. 

CHAP. III. 

1 He teacheth the duty of wives and husbands, 8 exhorting 
all men to unity and love, 14 and to suffer boldly for 
righteousness' sake. 

IKEWISE, ye wives, be in subjection to your 
JLi own husbands ; that if any obey not the word, 
they also may without the word be won by the conver- 
sation of the wives ; 

2 While they behold your chaste conversation 
coupled with fear. 

3 b Whose adorning, let it not be that outward 
adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, 
or of putting on of apparel ; 

4 c But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that 
which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek 
and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great 
price. 

5 For after this manner, in the old time, the holy 
women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, 
being in subjection unto their own husbands : 

6 d Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him

16° Having a good conscience ; that, whereas they 
speak evil of you, as of evil doers, they may 
ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation 
in Christ. 

1 7 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye 
suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. 

1 8 p For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the 
just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being 
put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit : 

1 9 q By which also he went and preached unto the 
spirits in prison ; 

20 r Which sometime were disobedient, when once 
the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, 
while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, 
eight souls, were saved by water. 

21 B The like figure whereunto, even baptism, doth 
also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of K'34,11, 
the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward s Eph! 5, aa 
God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 

22 t Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right 
hand of God ; angels, and authorities, and powers, 
being made subject unto him. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 He exhorteth them to cease from sin by the example of 
Christ. 7 By the approaching end of all things he exhorteth 
them to sobriety, charity, 4rc 

ORASMUCH then as Christ hath suffered for 
us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the 
same mind : for he that hath suffered in the flesh, hath 
ceased from sin : 

2 D That he no longer should live the rest of his time 
in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 

3 c For the time past of our life may suffice us to 
have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked 
in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, 
banquetings, and abominable idolatries : 

4 d Wherein they think it strange that ye run not 

with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of j£m£%*

judge the quick and the dead.

to them that are dead, that they might be judged 
according to men in the flesh, but live according to 
God in the spirit.

yourselves : for charity shall cover the multitude of

12 ro Beloved, think it not strange concerning the 
fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange 
thing happened unto you : 

1 3 n But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of 
Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be reveal- 
ed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 

14 ° If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, 
happy are ye ; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth 
upon you : on their part he is evil spoken of, but on 
your part he is glorified. 

15 p But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as 
a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as a busybody in other 
men's matters. 

1 6 q Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him 
Philip.' 3', 10. not be ashamed ; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to 
him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

CHAP. I. 

Peter, saluting the Christians, admonishclh them of the gifts 

and promises of the gospel, fyc. 
* CfclMON Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus 
►3 Christ, to them that have obtained like precious 
faith with us through the righteousness of God and our 
Saviour Jesus Christ : 

2 b Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through 
the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. 

3 c According as his divine power hath given unto 
us all things thai pertain unto life and godliness, through 
the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and 
virtue : 

4 d Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and 
precious promises; that by these ye might be par- 
takers of the divine nature, having escaped the corrup- 
tion that is in the world through Inst. 

5 e And besides this, giving all diligence, add to 
your faith virtue ; and to virtue knowledge ; 

6 And to knowledge temperance ; and to temper- 
ance patience ; and to patience godliness ; 

5 A 



7 f And to godliness brotherly kindness ; and to 
brotherly kindness charity. 

8 s For if these things be in you, and abound, they 
make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful 
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

9 h But he that lacketh these things is blind, and 
cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was 
purged from his old sins. 

10 ! Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence 
to make your calling and election sure : for if ye do 
these things, ye shall never fall : 

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you 
abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our I lord 
and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

12 k Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you 
always in remembrance of these things, though ye 
know them, and be established in the present truth. 

13 ' Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this 
tabernacle, to stir you up, by putting you in remem- 
brance ; 

14 m Knowing that shortly I must put off this my

tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed 
me. 

15 n Moreover, I will endeavour that you may be 
able after my decease to have these things always in 
remembrance. 

16° For we have not followed cunningly devised 
fables, when we made known unto you the power 
and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye- 
witnesses of his majesty. 

1 7 p For he received from God the Father honour 
and glory, when there came such a voice to him from 
the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom 
I am well pleased. 

18 q And this voice which came from heaven we 
heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 

1 9 r We have also a more sure word of prophecy ; 
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light 
that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and 
the day-star arise in your hearts : 

20 8 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the 
scripture is of any private interpretation. 

21 ' For the prophecy came not in old time by the 
will of man : but holy men of God spake as they 
were moved by the Holy Ghost. 

CHAP. II. 

He foretelleth them of false teachers, shewing the impiety and 
punishment of them and their followers, fyc. 
UT there were false prophets also among the 
people, even as there shall be false teachers 
among you, who privily shall bring in damnable here- 
sies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and 
bring upon themselves swift destruction. 

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways ; by 
reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 

3 b And through covetousness shall they with feign- 
ed words make merchandise of you : whose judgment 
now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation 
slumbereth not. 

4 c For if God spared not the angels that sinned, 
but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into 
chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 

5 '' And spared not the old world, but saved Noah 
the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing 
in the flood upon the world of the ungodly ; 

6 e And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha 
into ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, making 
them an ensample unto those that after should live 
ungodly ; 

7 f And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy 
conversation of the wicked : 

8 g (For that righteous man dwelling among them, 
in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from 
day to day with their unlawful deeds :)

1 ' But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the 
lust of uncleanness, and despise government : pre- 
sumptuous are they, self-willed ; they are not afraid to 
speak evil of dignities. 

1 1 k Whereas angels, which are greater in power 
and might, bring not railing accusation against them 
before the Lord. 

12 ' But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be 
taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they 
understand not ; and shall utterly perish in their own 
corruption ; 

1 3 m And shall receive the reward of unrighteous-

16 But was rebuked for his iniquity : the dumb ass, ^ 13. 
speaking with man's voice, forbade the madness of the 
prophet. 

1 7 p These are wells without water, clouds that are p Jude k. is. 
carried with a tempest ; to whom the mist of darkness 
is reserved for ever. 

1 8 q For when they speak great swelling words of q A <*' % «*■ 
vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through Ju e 1& 
much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from 
them who live in error. 

1 9 r While they promise them liberty, they them- 
selves are the servants of corruption : for of whom a 
man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 

20 s For if after they have escaped the pollutions of 
the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and 
Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein 
and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than 
the beginning. 

21 * For it had been better for them not to have 
known the way of righteousness, than, after they have 
known it, to turn from the holy commandment deliver- 
ed unto them. 

22 u But it is happened unto them according to the 
true proverb, The clog is turned to his own vomit 
again ; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallow- 
ing in the mire. 

CHAP. III. 

1 The certainty of Christ 1 s coming to judgment. 1 1 An exhor- 
tation to godliness. 

HIS second epistle, beloved, I now write unto »<=«• 1. » 
you ; in both which I stir up your pure minds 
by way of remembrance : 

2 b That ye may be mindful of the words which bjuden. 
were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the 
commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and 
Saviour : 

3 c Knowing this first, that there shall come in the 
last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 

4 ll And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? 
for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as 
they were from the beginning of the creation. 

5 e For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by 
the woi d of God the heavens were of old, and the earth 
standing out of the water and in the water : 

6 f Whereby the world that then was, being over- 
flowed with water, perished : 

7 s But the heavens and the earth, which are now, 
by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire 
against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly SeT 
men. 

8 b But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, 
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and 
a thousand years as one day. 

9 ' The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 
as some men count slackness ; but is long-suffering to 
us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that 
all should come to repentance.

10 k But the day of the Lord will come as a thief 
in the night ; in the which the heavens shall pass away 
with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with 
fervent heat ; the earth also, and the works that are 
therein, shall be burnt up. 

1 1 Seeing then that all these things shall be dis- 
solved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all 
holy conversation and godliness ; 

12 'Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the 
day of God, wherein the heavens, being on fire, shall 
be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent 
heat ? 

13 m Nevertheless we, according to his promise, 
look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein 
dwelleth righteousness. 

14 n Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for 
such things, be diligent that ye may be found of 



him in peace, without spot, and blameless : 

1 5 ° And account that the long-suffering of the 
Lord is salvation ; even as our beloved brother Paul 
also, according to the wisdom given unto him, hath 
written unto you ; 

1 6 p As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of 
these things ; in which are some things hard to be 
understood, which they that are unlearned and un- 
stable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto 
their own destruction. 

17 q Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these 
things before, beware lest ye also, being led away 
with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stead- 
fastness : 

1 8 r But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our 
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory, both 
now and for ever. Amen. 




IT The First Epistle general of JOHN. 



CHAP. I. 

1 lie declareth what he had seen and known of the Word 
of life. 5 To have fellowship with God he enjoineth 
holiness. 

HAT which was from the beginning, which we 
have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, 
which we have looked upon, and our hands have 
handled, of the Word of life , 

2 b (For the Life was manifested, and we have seen 
it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal 
Life, which was with the Father, and was manifested 
unto us ;) 

3 c That which we have seen and heard declare 
we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with 
us : and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and 
with his Son Jesus Christ. 

4 d And these things write we unto you, that your 
joy may be full. 

5 "This then is the message which we have heard of 
him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in 
him is no darkness at all. 

6 f If we say that we have fellowship with him, and 
walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth : 

7 E But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, 
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood 
of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 

8 '' If we say that we have no sin, we deceive our- 
selves, and the truth is not in us. 

9 ' If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just 
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all un 
righteousness. 

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him 
a liar, and his word is not in us. 

chap. n. 

1 Christ our advocate and propitiation. 3 To know God 
aright is to keep his commandments. 18 To beware of 
seducers. 
a IVT^ ntt '° children, these things write I unto you, 
If JL that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have 
an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the right- 
eous : 

2 b And he is the propitiation for our sins : and 
not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole 
world. 

3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if 
we keep his commandments. 

4 c He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not 



his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in 
him. 

5 d But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is 
the love of God perfected : hereby know we that we 
are in him. 

6 e He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself 
also so to walk, even as he walked. 

7 f Brethren, I write no new commandment unto 
you, but an old commandment, which ye had from 
the beginning. The old commandment is the word 
which ye have heard from the beginning. 

8 g Again, a new commandment I write unto you; 
which thing is true in him and in you : because the 
darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 

9 h He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his 
brother, is in darkness even until now. 

10 ' He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, 
and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 

1 1 k But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, 
and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither 
he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his 
eyes. 

12 1 1 write unto you, little children, because your 
sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 

13 m I write unto you, fathers, because ye have 
known him that is from the beginning. I write unto 
you, young men, because ye have overcome tin- 
wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because 
ye have known the Father. 

14 " I have written unto yoti, fathers, because ye 
have known him that is from the beginning. 1 have 
written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, 
and the word of'God abideth in you, and ye have 
overcome the wicked one. 

15 " Love not the world, neither the things that are 
in the world. If any man love the world, the love of 
the Father is not in him. 

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the fle Ii, 
the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the 
Father, but is of the world. 

17 p And the world passeth away, and the lust 
thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for 
ever. . 

18 q Little children, it is the last time : and as ye 
have heard that antichrist shall come, even HOW are 
there many antichrists ; whereby we know that it h 
the last time.

'Hie godly preserved by faith. 

1 9 r They went out from us, but they were not of 
us ; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt 
have continued with us: but they went out, that they 
might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 

20 s But ye have an unction from the Holy One, 
and ye know all things. 

21 I have not written unto you because ye know 
not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie 
is of the truth. 

22 l Who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus 
is the Christ ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father 
and the Son. 

23 u Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath 
not the Father: [but he that acknowledged the Son, 
hath the Father also.] 

24 x Let that therefore abide in you which ye have 
heard from the beginning. If that which ye have 
heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also 
shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 

25 And this is the promise that he hath promised 
us, even eternal life. 

26 y These things have I written unto you concern- 
ing them that seduce you. 

27 z But the anointing which ye have received of 
him abideth in you : and ye need not that any man 
teach you : but as the same anointing teacheth you of 
all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it 
hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 

28 a And now, little children, abide in him ; that, 
when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and 
not be ashamed before him at his coming. 

29 h If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that 
every one which doeth righteousness is born of him. 

CHAP. III. 

1 He declareth the singular love of God toward us in 
making us his sons; 3 we therefore ought obediently to keep 
his commandments, 4"c. 

EHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath 
bestowed upon us, that we should be called the 
sons of God ! therefore the world knoweth us not, 
because it knew him not. 

2 b Beloved, now are we the sons of God ; and it 
doth not yet appear what we shall be : but we know 
that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him ; for 
we shall see him as he is. 

3 c And every man that hath this hope in him, puri- 
fieth himself, even as he is pure. 

4 d Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also 
the law : for sin is the transgression of the law. 

5 e And ye know that he was manifested to take 
away our sins ; and in him is no sin. 

6 r Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not : whoso- 
ever sinneth, hath not seen him, neither known 
him. 

7 g Little children, let no man deceive you : he 
!?„ e I' 2 ?*p£ that doeth righteousness, is righteous even as he is 

righteous. 

8 h He that committeth sin, is of the devil ; for the 
devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose 
the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy 
the works of the devil. 

9 ' l Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin ; 
for his seed remaineth in him : and he cannot sin, 
because he is born of God. 

1 k In this the children of God are manifest, and 
the children of the devil : whosoever doeth not right- 
eousness, is not of God, neither he that loveth not his 
brother.

one another, as lie gave us commandment.

1 He warneth them not to believe all teachers who boast of 1 * om t „ 
the Spirit, but to try them by the rules of the catholic faith : At 4, is.' 
7 and by many reasons exhorteth to brotherly love. 

ELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the 
spirits whether they are of God ; because many 
false prophets are gone out into the world. 

2 h Hereby know ye the Spirit of God : Every 
spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the ££["£; y 
flesh, is of God : 

3 c And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus 
Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God : and this is 
that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard "that J^Tr'sul: 
it should come ; and even now already is it in the " 
world. 

4 d Ye are of God, little children, and have over- 
come them : because greater is he that is in you, than ^jf ^J 2 ^ 1 
he that is in the world. 16, 11. 

5 e They are of the world : therefore speak they Ep i° r 2,V& 
of the world, and the world heareth them. 

6 f We are of God : he that knoweth God, heareth 
us ; he that is not of God, heareth not us. Hereby 
know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 

7 g Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of ££». 14.37. 
God ; and every one that loveth, is born of God, and s ch. s, 18.

Exhortations to brotherly love. 

us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into 
the world, that we might live through him. 

1 k Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that 
he loved us, and sent his Sc 1 to be the propitiation for 
our sins. 

1 1 ' Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to 
love one another. 

12 m No man hath seen God at any time. If we 
love one anodier, God dwelleth in us, and his love is 
perfected in us. 

13 ° Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and 
he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 

14 ° And we have seen, and do testify, that 
the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the 
world. 

1 5 p Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son 
of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 

16 q And w T e have known and believed the love 
that God hath to us. God is love ; and he that dwell- 
eth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 

1 7 r Herein is our love made perfect, that we may 
have boldness in the day of judgment : because as he 
is, so are we in this world. 

1 8 There is no fear in love ; but perfect love cast- 
eth out fear ; because fear hath torment. He that 
feareth, is not made perfect in love. 

19 We love him, because he first loved us. 

20 8 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his bro- 
ther, he is a liar : for he that loveth not his brother 
whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he 
hath not seen ? 

21 l And this commandment have we from him, 
That he who loveth God love his brother also. 

CHAP. V. 

1 He that loveth God loveth his children, and keepeth his 
commandments. 4 True faith will overcome the world. 
1 1 Believers have eternal life through Christ : 18 they are 
distinguished from the world by abstaining from sin, a-nd 
by a right knowledge of God. 

a \VHOSOEVER believeth that Jesus is the 
T T Christ, is born of God : and every one that 
loveth him that begat, loveth him also that is begot- 
ten of him. 

2 b By this we know that we love the children of 
God,' when we love God, and keep his command- 
ments. 

3 c For this is the love of God, that we keep his 
commandments : and his commandments are not 
grievous. 

4 d For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the 
world : and this is the victory that overcometh the 
world, even our faith.

that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God ? 

6 f This is he that came by water and blood, even 
Jesus Christ ; not by water only, but by water and 
blood. And it is the Spirit that bearcth witness, 
because the Spirit is truth. 

7 g For there are three that bear record in heaven, 
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost : and 
these three are one. 

8 h And there are three that bear witness in earth, 
the spirit, and the water, and the blood : and these 
three agree in one. 

9 ' If we receive the witness of men, the witness 
of God is greater : for this is the witness of God, 
which he hath testified of his Son. 

1 k He that believeth on the Son of God hath the 
witness in himself: he that believeth not God, hath 
made him a liar; because he believeth not the record Kom. 8, is. 
that God gave of his Son. 

1 1 ' And this is the record, that God hath given to 
us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 

1 2 m He that hath the Son, hath life ; and he that 
hath not the Son, hath not life. 

13 n These things have I written unto you that njohn2o.si 
believe on the name of the Son of God ; that ye may 

know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe 
on the name of the Son of God. 

1 4 ° And this is the confidence that we have in 
him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, 
he heareth us : 

15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever i '^. 1 , 4 ;^ 
we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we 16 . -■» 
desired of him. 

1 p If any man see his brother sin a sin which 
is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give 
him life for them that sin not unto death. There 
is a sin unto death : I do not say that he shall pray 
for it. 

1 7 q All unrighteousness is sin : and there is a sin 
not unto death. 

1 8 r We know that whosoever is born of God sin- 
neth not ; but he that is begotten of God keepeth 
himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 

19 s And we know that we are of God, and the \t i«!

1 He commendelh Gaius for his piety, 5 and hospitality to 
true preachers : 9 he censureth Diotrephes, and threateneth 
him for his ambitious opposition, 1 1 whose evil example 
is not to be followed. 

a rilH'E elder unto the well-beloved Gaius, whom I 
M. love in the truth. 

2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou may- 
est prosper and be in health, even as thy soul pros- 
pered. 

3 b For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came 
and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou 
walkest in the truth. 

4 c I have no greater joy than to hear that my 
children walk in the truth. 

5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou 
doest to the brethren and to strangers ; 

6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before 
the church : whom if thou bring forward on their 
journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well : 

7 d Because that for his name's sake they went 
forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiv- 
ed! us not. 

10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds 
which he doeth, prating against us with malicious 
words : and not content therewith, neither doth he 
himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that 
would, and casteth them out of the church. 

1 1 f Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that 
which is good. He that doeth good is of God : but 
he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

I Jude exhorteth Christians to constancy in the received 
faith : 4 he foretelleth the punishment of certain false 
teachers, •S'C. 

a T UDE, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother 

$3 of James, to them that are sanctified by God 

the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called : 

2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multi- 
plied. 

3 b Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto 
you of the common salvation, it was needful for me 
to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should 
earnestly contend for the faith which was once de- 
livered unto the saints. 

4 c For there are certain men crept in unawares, 
who were before of old ordained to this condemnation ; 
ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into las- 
civiousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

5 d I will therefore put you in remembrance, though 
ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved 
the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward de- 
stroyed them that believed not. 

6 e And the angels which kept not their first estate, 
but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in ever- 
lasting chains, under darkness, unto the judgment of 
the great day. 

7 f Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities 
about them, in like manner giving themselves over to 
fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth 



for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal 
fire. 

8 g Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the 
flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 

9 h Yet Michael the archangel, when contending 
with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, 
durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but 
said, The Lord rebuke thee. 

1 ' But these speak evil of those things which they 
know not : but what they know naturally, as brute 
beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 

11 k Wo unto them ! for they have gone in the 
way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of 
Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of 
Core. 

1 2 x These are spots in your feasts of charity, when 
they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear : 
clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; 
trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, 
plucked up by the roots ; 

1 3 m Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their 
own shame ; wandering stars, to whom is reserved 
the blackness of darkness for ever, 

14 a And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, 
prophesied of these, saying. Behold, the Lord cometh 
with ten thousand of his saints, 

15 ° To execute judgment upon all ; and to con- 
vince all that are ungodly among them of all their 
ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed,

t The REVELATION of St. JOHN the Divine. 



CHAP. I. 

4 John's salutation to the seven churches. 7 The coming 

of Christ : 14 his glorious power and majesty. 
a rBlHE Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave 
_M_ unto him, to shew unto his servants things 
which must shortly come to pass ; and he sent and 
signified it by his angel unto his servant John : 

2 b Who bare record of the word of God, and of the 
testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he 
saw. 

3 c Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear 
the words of this prophecy, and keep those things 
which are written therein : for the time is at hand. 

4 d ¥OHN to the seven churches in Asia: Grace 

fcP be unto you, and peace, from him which is, 
and which was, and which is to come; and from the 
seven Spirits which are before his throne : 

5 e And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful wit- 
ness, and the first-begotten of the dead, and the Prince 
of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and 
washed us from our sins in his own blood, 

6 f And hath made us kings and priests unto God 
and his Father ; to him be glory and dominion for ever 
and ever. Amen. 

7 g Behold, he cometh with clouds ; and every eye 
shall see him, and they also which pierced him : and 
all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. 
Even so, Amen. 

8 b I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the 
ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and 
which is to come, the Almighty. 

9 ' I John, who also am your brother, and companion 
in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of 
Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for 
the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

10 " I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard 
behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 

1 1 ' Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and 
the last : and, What thou secst, write in a book, and 
send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia ; 
unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, 
and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and Philadelphia, 
and unto Laodicea. 

12 m And I turned to see the voice that spake with 
me. And being turned, 1 saw seven golden candle- 
sticks ; 

13 n And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one 
like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down 
to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden 
girdle. 



14 ° His head and his hairs were white like wool, 
as white as snow ; and his eyes were as a flame of 
fire; 

1 5 p And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burn- 
ed in a furnace ; and his voice as the sound of many 
waters. 

1 6 i And he had in his right hand seven stars ; and 
out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword : and 
his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 

1 7 r And when J saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. 
And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, 
Fear not ; I am the first and the last : 

18 a I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, 
1 am alive for evermore, Amen ; and have the keys of 
hell and of death. 

1 9 l Write the things which thou hast seen, and 
the things which are, and the things which shall be 
hereafter ; 

20 u The mystery of the seven stars which thou 
sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candle- 
sticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven 
churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou 
sawest, are the seven churches. 

CHAP. II. 

1 What John was commanded to write to the angels of the 
churches of Ephesus, 8 Smyrna, 12 Pergamos, 18 and 
Thyatira. 

a TTNTO the angel of the church of Ephesus write ; 
\J These things saith he that holdeth the seven 
stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the 
seven golden candlesticks; 

2 '' I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy 
palience, and how thou canst not bear them which are 
evil: and thou hast tried them which say (hey are 
apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 

3 ° And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my 
name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 

4 Nevertheless 1 have somewhat against thee, be- 
cause thou hast left thy first love. 

5 d Remember therefore from whence thou ail Fallen ; 
and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come 
unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out 
of his plare, except thou repent. 

6 But this thou hast, that thou hatcst the deeds of 
the Nicolaitancs, which 1 also hate. 

7 e He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
Spirit saith unto the churches; To him thai over- 
cometh will 1 pve to eat of the tree of life, which is 
in the midst of the paradise of God.

write ; These things saith the first and the last, which 
was dead, and is alive ; 

9^1 know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, 
(but thou art rich,) and I know the blasphemy of them 
which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the 
synagogue of Satan. 

10 h Fear none of those things which thou shalt 
suffer : behold, the devil shall cast some of you into 
prison, that ye may be tried : and ye shall have tribu- 
lation ten days : be thou faithful unto death, and I will 
give thee a crown of life. 

1 1 ' He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
Spirit saith unto the churches ; He that overcometh 
shall not be hurt of the second death. 

12 k And to the angel of the church in Pergamos 
write ; These things saith he which hath the sharp 
sword with two edges ; 

13 ' I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, 
even where Satan's seat is : and thou holdest fast my 
name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those 
days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who 
was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 

14 m But I have a few things against thee, because 
thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, 
who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the 
children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, 
and to commit fornication. 

15 n So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine* 
of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 

16° Repent ; or else I will come unto thee quickly, 
and will fight against them with the sword of my 
mouth. 

1 7 p He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit 
saith unto the churches ; To him that overcometh will 
I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him 
a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, 
which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. 

1 8 q And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira 
write ; These things saith the Son of God, who hath 
his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like 
fine brass ; 

19 r I know thy works, and charity, and service, 
and faith, and thy patience, and thy works ; and the 
last to be more than the first. 

20 B Notwithstanding, I have a few things against 
thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, 
which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to 
seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat 
things sacrificed unto idols. 

21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornica- 
tion ; and she repented not. 

22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that 
commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except 
they repent of their deeds. 

23 ' And I will kill her children with death ; and 
all the churches shall know that I am he which search- 
eth the reins and hearts ; and I will give unto every 
one of you according to your works. 

24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thy- 
atira, as many as have not. this doctrine, and which 
have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak ; 
I will put upon you none other burden : 

25 u But that which ye have already, hold fast till 
I come. 

26 x And he that overcometh, and keepeth my 
works unto the end, to him will I give power over the 
nations : 

27 y (And he shall rule them with a rod of iron ; as 




seven churchrs of Asia. 

the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers:) 
even as I received of my Father. 

28 z And I will give him the morning star.

3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and Rom. 6, 17.

shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and 
thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon 
thee.

CHAP. IV. 

1 John seeth the throne of God in heaven. 4 The four and 
twenty elders. 6 The four beasts full of eyes before and 
behind, <$*c. 

FTER this I looked, and, behold, a door was 
opened in heaven ; and the first voice which 1 
heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me | 
which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee 
things which must be hereafter. 

2 b And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, be* 
hold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the 
throne. 

3 c And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper 
and a sardine-stone : and there was a rainbow round 
about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 

4 And round about the throne were four and twenty 
seats : and upon the seats I saw four and twenty 
elders sitting, clothed in white raiment ; and they had 
on their heads crowns of gold. 

5 d And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and 
thunderings and voices : and there tcere seven lamps 
of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven 
Spirits of God. 

G e And before the throne there was a sea of glass, 
like unto eryslal : and to the midst of the throne, and 
round about the throne, were four beasts, full of eyes 
before and behind. 

7 f And the fust beast was like a lion, and the second 
beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a 
man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 

8 % And the four beasts had each of them six wings 
about him ; and they were full of eyes within : and they 
rest not day and night, saving, Holy, holy, holy, Lord 
God Almighty^ which was, and is, and is to come. 

9 And when those beasts give glory, and honour, 
and thanks, to him that sat on the throne, who livelh 
for ever and ever, 

10 h The four and twenty elders fall down before 
him that, sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth 
for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the 
throne, saying, 

1 1 ! Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and 
honour, and power: for thou hast ereated all things, 
ami for thy pleasure they are and w« re created. 

CHAP. V. 

1 The book seated with seven seals, which no man is "worthy 
to open : 6 the Lamb openeth the book : the beasts and ciders 
praise him. 
8 A ND I saw in the right hand of him that sat on 
J^. the throne a book written within and on the 
back side, sealed with seven seals. 
5 F. 



The seated book opened. 

2 b And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a 
loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to 
loose the seals thereof? 

3 c And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither JS'i 
under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to io.

look thereon. 

4 d And I wept much, because no man was found 
worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look 
thereon. 

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not : 
behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of 
David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose 
the seven seals thereof. 

6 e And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne 
and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, 
stood a Lamb, as it had been slain, having seven horns 
and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God 
sent forth into all the earth. 

1 And he came and took the book out of the right 
hand of him that sat upon tlte throne. 

8 f And when he had taken the book, the four beasts r J*- *f'* 
and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, ' 
having every one of them harps, and golden vials full 
of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 

9 g And they sung a new song, saying. Thou art 
worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof 
for thou wast slain

2 b And I saw, and behold a white horse j and he 
that sat on him had a bow j and a crown was given 
unto him : and he went forth conquering, and to 
conquer. 

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard 
the second beast sny, Come and see. 

4 And there went out another borne that was red 1 
and power was given to him that sat thereon to take 
peace from the earth, and that they should kill one 
another : and there was given unto him a great sword. 

b And when he had opened the third seal, I heard 
the third beast say, Come ami see. And I beheld, 
and lo. a black horse ; ami he that sat on him had a 
pair of balances in his hand.

6 c And I heard a voice in the midst of the four 
beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three 
measures of barley for a penny ; and see thou hurt not 
the oil and the wine. 

7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard 
the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 

8 d And I looked, and behold, a pale horse ; and 
his name that sat on him was Death, and hell followed 
with him : and power was given unto them over the 
fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with 
hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the 
earth. 

9 e And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw 
under the altar the souls of them that were slain for 
the word of God, and for the testimony which they 
held: 

10 f And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How 
long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and 
avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth ? 

1 1 g And white robes were given unto every one of 
them ; and it was said unto them, that they should 
rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-servants 
also, and their brethren, that should be killed as they 
were, should be fulfilled. 

12 h And I beheld when he had opened the sixth 
seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake ; and the 
sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon 
became as blood ; 

1 3 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even 
as a fig-tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is 
shaken of a mighty wind : 

14 ' And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is 
rolled together ; and every mountain and island were 
moved out of their places : 

15 k And the kings of the earth, and the great men, 
and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the 
mighty men, and every bondman, and every freeman, 
hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the 
mountains ; 

16 l And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on 
us, and liide us from the face of him that sitteth on 
the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb : 

1 7 For the great day of his wrath is come ; and 
who shall be able to stand ? 

CHAP. VII. 

2 An angel cometh to seal the servants of God in their fore- 
heads : 4 the number of them that were sealed out of each 
of the tribes of Israel, <^c. 

* A ND after these things I saw four angels stand- 
J\. ing on the four corners of the earth, holding the 

four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow 

on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, 
having the seal of the living God : and he cried with 
a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given 
to hurt the earth and the sea, 

3 b Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor 
the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God 
in their foreheads. 

4 And I heard the number of them which were 
sealed : and there were sealed a hundred and forty 
and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of 
Israel. 

5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. 
Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. 
Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 

6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. 
Of the *ribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thou- 



sand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve 
thousand. 

7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thou- 
sand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thou- 
sand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve 
thousand. 

8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thou- 
sand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve 
thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed 
twelve thousand. 

9 c After this 1 beheld, and lo, a great multitude, 
which no man could number, of all nations, and 
kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the 
throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white 
robes, and palms in their hands ; 

10 d And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation 
to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto 
the Lamb. 

1 1 And all the angels stood round about the throne, 
and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell be- 
fore the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 

1 2 Saying, Amen : Blessing, and glory, and wis- 
dom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and 
might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 

1 3 And one of the elders answered, saying unto 
me, What are these which are arrayed in white 
robes ? and whence came they ? 

14 e And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And 
he said to me, These are they which came out of 
great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and 
made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 

1 5 f Therefore are they before the throne of God, 
and serve him day and night in his temple : and he 
that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 

16 E They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any 
more : neither shall the sun light on them, nor any 
heat. 

1 7 h For the Lamb, which is in the midst of the 
throne, shall feed them, and shall lead them unto 
living fountains of waters : and God shall wipe away 
all tears from their eyes. 

CHAP. VIII. 

1 At the opening of the seventh seal, 2 seven angels have 
seven trumpets given them. 6 Four of them sound their 
trumpets, and great plagues follow, fyc. 

AND when he had opened the seventh seal, there 
was silence in heaven about the space of haif 
an hour. 

2 a And I saw the seven angels which stood before 
God ; and to them were given seven trumpets. 

3 b And another angel came and stood at the altar, 
having a golden censer ; and there was given unto 
him much incense, that he should offer it with the 
prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was 
before the throne. 

4 c And the smoke of the incense, which came with 
the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out 
of the angel's hand. 

5 d And the angel took the censer, and filled it with 
fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth : and there 
were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an 
earthquake. 

6 And the seven angels which had the seven trum- 
pets prepared themselves to sound. 

7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail 
and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon 
the earth : and the third part of trees was burnt up, 
and all green grass was burnt up.

8 And the second angei sounded, and as it were a 
great mountain burning with fire was cast into the 
sea : and the third part of the sea became blood ; 

9 And the third part of the creatures which were 
in the sea, and had life, died ; and the third part of 
the ships were destroyed. 

10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a 
great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and 
it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the 
fountains of waters ; 

1 1 And the name of the star is called Wormwood ; 
and the third part of the waters became wormwood ; 
and many men died of the waters, because they were 
made bitter. 

12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third 
part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the 
moon, and the third part of the stars ; so as the third 
part of them was darkened, and the day shone not 
For a third part of it, and the night likewise. 

1 3 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through 
the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Wo, 
wo, wo to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the 
other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which 
are yet to sound. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 At the sounding of the fifth angel, a star falleth from heaven, 
to whom is given the key of the bottomless pit : 2 he openelh 
the pit, and there come forth locusts like scorpions : 12 the 
first wo is past, 4»c. 

1 A ND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star 
_ZjL fall from heaven unto the earth : and to him 
was given the key of the bottomless pit. 

2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there 
arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great 
furnace ; and the sun and the air were darkened by 
reason of the smoke of the pit. 

3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon 
the earth : and unto them was given power, as the 
scorpions of the earth have power. 

4 b And it was commanded them that they should 
not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green 
thing, neither any tree ; but only those men which 
have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 

5 And to them it was given that they should not 
kill them, *»ut that they should be tormented five 
months : and their torment was as the torment of a 
scorpion when he strikcth a man. 

6 c And in those days shall men seek death, and 
shall not find it ; and shall desire to c) e, and death 
shall flee from them. 

7 d And the shapes of the locusts ivere like unto 
horses prepared unto battle ; and on their heads were 
as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as 
the faces of men. 

8 e And they had hair as the hair of women, and 
their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 

9 f And they had breastplates, as it were breast- 
plates of iron ; and the sound of their wings was as 
the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 

1 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there 
were stings in their tails : and their power was to hurt 
men five months. 

1 1 E And they had a king over them, which is the 
angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the He- 
brew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue 
hath his name Apollyon.

I-X> ^- # Four angels loosed, 

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a 
voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is 
before God, 

14 i Saying to the sixth angel which had the trum- 
pet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the 
great river Euphrates. 

1 5 And the four angels were || loosed, which were 
prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a 
year, for to slay the third part of men. 

16 k And the number of the army of the horsemen 
were two hundred thousand thousand : and I heard 
the number of them. 

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and 
them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, 
and of jacinth, and brimstone : and the heads of the 
horses were as the heads of lions : and out of their 
mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 

1 8 By these three was the third part of men killed, 
by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, 
which issued out of their mouths. 

19 ' For their power is in their mouth, and in their 
tails : for their tails were like unto serpents, and had 
heads, and with them they do hurt, 

20 m And the rest of the men which were not killed 
by these plagues, yet repented not of the works of 
their hands, that they should not worship devils, 
and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, 
and of wood : which neither can see, nor hear, nor 
walk : 

21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of 
their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their 
thefts.

them,

up to heaven in a cloud ; and their enemies beheld 
them,

1 A woman clothed with the sun travaileth: 4 the great red

a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon

1 5 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as 
a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to 
oe carried away of the flood. 

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth 
opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which 
the dragon cast out of his mouth.

and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, 
which keep the commandments of God, m and have 
the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 A beast riseth out of the sea ■with seven heads and ten horns. 

1 1 Another beast cometh up out of the earth, which sup- 

porteth the worship of the former beast. 

8 A ND I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw 

Jjk. a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven 

heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, 

and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 

2 b And the beast which I saw was like unto a 
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and 
his mouth as the mouth of a lion : and the dragon gave 
him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 

3 c And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded 
to death ; and his deadly wound was healed : and all 
the world wondered after the beast. 

4 d And they worshipped the dragon which gave 
power unto the beast : and they worshipped the beast, 
saying, Who is like unto the beast ? who is able to 
make war with him ? 

5 e And there was given unto him a mouth speaking 
great things and blasphemies ; and power was given 
unto him to continue forty and two months. 

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against 
God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and 
them that dwell in heaven. 

7 f And it was given unto him to make war with 
the saints, and to overcome them : and power was 
given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 

8 g And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship 
him, whose names are not written in the book of life 
of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 

9 h If any man have an ear, let him hear. 

10 ' He that leadeth into captivity, sliall go into 
captivity: he that killeth with the sword, must be killed 
with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of 
the saints. 

1 1 k And I beheld another beast coming up out of 
the earth ; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he 
spake as a dragon. 

12 ' And he exerciseth all the power of the first 
beast before him, and causeth the earth and them 
which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose 
deadly wound was healed. 

13 m And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh 
fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight 
of men, 

14 "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth 
by the means of those miracles which he had power to 
do in the sight of the beast ; saying to them that dwell 
on the earth, that they should make an image to the 
beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did 
live. 

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of 
the beast, that the image of the beast should both 
speak, and cause that as many as would not worship 
the image of the beast should be killed. 




The Lamb and his company. 

16 ° And he causeth all, both small and great, rich 
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right 
hand, or in their foreheads : 

17 v And that no man might buy or sell, save he lt.u\n. 
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the 
number of his name. 

18 " Here is wisdom. Let him that hath under- qch. is, a. 
standing count the number of the beast : for it is the & 17> 9 - 
number of a man ; and his number is six hundred 
threescore and six. 

CHAP. XIV. 

1 The Lamb standing on mount Sion with his company, 6 an 
angel preacheth the gospel ; 8 another proclaimeth the fall 
of Babylon, 15 the harvest of the world, fyc. 

ND I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the aKick. 9,4. 
mount Sion, and with him a hundred forty and ^Vf - !' 2 " 
four thousand, having his Father's name written in 
their foreheads. 

2 b And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of b ch. 1. 15. 
many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: ^ 5 « 8&,9 > 
and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their 

harps : 

3 c And they sung as it were a new song before the c eh. 5, 9. 
throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders : and 

no man could learn that song but the hundred and 
forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from 
the earth. 

4 d These are they which were not defiled with 
women ; for they are virgins. These are they which 
follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were 
redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto 
God and to the Lamb. 

5 e And in their mouth was found no guile : for 
they are without fault before the throne of God. 

6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, 
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that 
dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, 
and tongue, and people, 

7 f Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give f Gen. 1, 1. 
glory to him ; for the hour of his judgment is come : pg^f'f - 4 
and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the 124, 8. & 
sea, and the fountains of waters. ^ * r> 

8 E And there followed another angel, saying, Ba- &Y?, 24. 
bylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she ^'™ >^ 19 
made all nations drink, of the wine of the wrath of her j er . fci'g. 
fornication. £ ,a i' W 9 - 

9 h And the third angel followed them, saying with & )8 ; 2 ° 
a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his 10. 18. si, 
image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his *ch.'i^ 4. 
hand, ™ 

10 i The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath , iv j •,, 9

11 k And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up kin 34,10 
for ever and ever: and they have no real day nor ^"i 1 '•'• J

upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, 
having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a 
sharp sickle. 

15 ° And another angel came out of the temple, 
crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, 
Thrust in thy sickle, and reap : for the time is come 
for thee to reap : for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle 
on the earth ; and the earth was reaped. 

17 And another angel came out of the temple 
which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 

1 8 p And another angel came out from the altar, 
which had power over fire : and cried with a loud cry 
to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in 
thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of 
the earth ; for her grapes are fully ripe. 

19 q And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, 
and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into 
the great wine-press of the wrath of God. 

20 r And the wine-press was trodden without the 
city, and blood came out of the wine-press, even unto 
the horse-bridles, by the space of a thousand and six 
hundred furlongs. 

CHAP. XV. 

1 The seven angels with the seven last plagues. 3 The song 
of them that overcome the beast. 7 TJie seven vials full 
of the wrath of God. 

a A ND I saw another sign in heaven, great and 
J\. marvellous, seven angels having the seven last 

plagues : for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 

2 b And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled 
with fire ; and them that had gotten the victory over 
the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and 
over the number of his name, stand on the sea of 
glass, having the harps of God. 

3 c And they sing the song of Moses the servant of 
God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and 
marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty: just 
and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 

4 u Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify 
thy name ? for thou only art holy : for all nations shall 
come and worship before thee ; for thy judgments are 
made manifest. 

5 e And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple 
of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was 
opened : 

6 f And the seven angels came out of the temple, 
having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white 
linen, and having their breasts girded with golden 
girdles. 

7 s And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven 
angels seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God 
who liveth for ever and ever. 

8 h And the temple was filled with smoke from the 
glory of God, and from his power ; and no man was 
able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of 
the seven angels were fulfilled. 

CHAP. XVI. 

1 Seven angels commanded to pour out their vials on the 
earth: 2 great plagues follow thereupon. 15 Christ 
cometh suddenly. 

AND I heard a great voice out of the temple, say- 
ing to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour 
out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 

2 a And the first went, and poured out his vial upon 
the earth ; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore 
upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and 
upon them which worshipped his image. 



3 b And the second angel poured out his vial upon 
the sea •, and it became as the blood of a dead man : 
and every living soul died in the sea. 

4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the 
rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 

5 c And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou 
art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt 
be, because thou hast judged thus. 

6 d For they have shed the blood of saints and 
prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink ; 
for they are worthy. 

7 e And I heard another ou* of the altar say, Even 
so, Lord God Almighty, kue and righteous are thy 
judgments. 

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the 
sun ; and power was given unto him to scorch men 
with fire. 

9 f And men were scorched with great heat, and 
blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over 
these plagues : and they repented not to give him 
glory. 

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the 
seat of the beast ; and his kingdom was full of dark- 
ness ; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 

1 1 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of 
their pains and their sores, and repented not of their 
deeds. 

1 2 & And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon 
the great river Euphrates ; and the water thereof was 
dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might 
be prepared. 

13 h And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come 
out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the 
mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false 
prophet. 

14 ' For they are the spirits of devils, working 
miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth 
and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle 
of that great day of God Almighty. 

1 5 k Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that 
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk 
naked, and they see his shame. 

16 And he gathered them together into a place 
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 

1 7 ' And the seventh angel poured out his vial into 
the air ; and there came a great voice out of the tem- 
ple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 

18 m And there were voices, and thunders, and 
lightnings ; and there was a great earthquake, such as 
was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an 
earthquake, and so great. 

1 9 And the great city was divided into three parts, 
and the cities of the nations fell : and great Babylon 
came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the 
cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 

20 "And every island fled away, and the mountains 
were not found. 

21 ° And there fell upon men a great hail out of 
heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent : and 
men blasphemed God because of the plague of the 
hail ; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the 
judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many 
waters : 

2 «> With whom the kings of the earth have com- 
mitted fornication, and the inhabiters of the earth 
have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 

3 c So he carried me away in the spirit into the 
wilderness : and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet- 
coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having 
seven heads and ten horns. 

4 d And the woman was arrayed in puiple and 
scarlet colour, and decked with gold, and precious 
stones, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand 
full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication : 

5 e And upon her forehead was a name written, 
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE 
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINA- 
TIONS OF THE EARTH. 

6 f And I saw the woman drunken with the blood 
of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of 
Jesus : and when I saw her, I wondered with great 
admiration. 

7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst 
thou marvel ? I will tell thee the mystery of this 
woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath 
the seven heads and ten horns. 

8 g The beast that thou sawest was, and is not ; 
and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into 
perdition : and they that dwell on the earth shall 
wonder, (whose names were not written in the book 
of life from the foundation of the world,) when they 
behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 

9 h And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The 
seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman 
sitteth. 

10 And there are seven kings : five are fallen, and 
one is, and the other is not yet come ; and when he 
cometh, he must continue a short space. 

1 1 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is 
the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into per- 
dition. 

12 ' And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten 
|| kings, which have received no kingdom as yet ; but 
receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 

13 These have one mind, and shall give their power 
and strength unto the beast. 

14 k These shall make war with the Lamb, and 
the Lamb shall overcome them : for he is Lord of 
lords, and King of kings : and they that are with him 
are called, and chosen, and faithful. 

15 ' And he saith unto me, The waters which 
thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and 
multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 

16 m And the ten horns which thou sawest upon 
the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make 
her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and 
burn her with fire. 

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, 
and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, 
until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 

18 n And the woman which thou sawest is that great 
city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

2 b And he cried mightily with a strong voice, 
saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is 
become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every 
foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful 
bird. 

3 c For all nations have drunk of the wine of the f e \. ^ ',% 
wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth 23,39.45! a 
have committed fornication with her, and the mer- H' a s - ^' 8

1 1 l And the merchants of the earth shall weep and • p**- 27, 
mourn over her 5 for no man buyeth their merchandise 

any more : 

1 2 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and pre-

and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all 
manner of vessels of ivory, and all manner of vessels 
of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and 
marble, 

13 m And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, 
and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, 
and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and 
chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 

14 D And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are 
departed from thee, and all things which were dainty 
and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find 
them no more at all. 

1 5 The merchants of these things, which were made 
rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her 
torment, weeping and wailing, 

16 ° And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that 
was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and 
decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls ! 

17 >' For in one hour so great riches is come to 
nought. And every ship-master, and all the company 
in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, 
stood afar off, 

18 1 And cried when they saw the smoke of her 
burning, saying, What city is like unto this great 

city ! 1 • , 

19 r And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, 
weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great 
city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the 
sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she 
made desolate.

him : for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his 
wife hath made herself ready. 

8 h And to her was granted that she showld be 
arrayed in fine linen, clean and white : for the fine 
linen is the righteousness of saints.

which are called unto the marriage-supper of the 
Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true 
sayings of God.

said unto me, See thou do it not : I am thy fellow- 
servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony 
of Jesus : worship God : for the testimony of Jesus is 
the spirit of prophecy. 

1 1 ' And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white 
horse ; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful

coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a 
bride adorned for her husband. 

3 c And I heard a great voice out of heaven, say- 
ing, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and 
he will dwell with them, and they shall be his peo- 
ple, and God himself shall be with them, and be their 
God. 

4 d And God shall wipe away all tears from their 
eyes ; and there shall be no more death, neither sor- 
row, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain : 
for the former things are passed away. 

5 e And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, 
I make all things new. And lie said unto me, Write ; 
for these words are true and faithful. 

6 f And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha 
and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give 
unto him that is athirst, of the fountain of the water 
of life freely. 

7 s He that ovcrcometh shall inherit all things ; and 
I will be his God, and he shall lie my son. 

8 '■ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abo- 
minable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and 
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their 
part in the lake which burnetii with fire and brimstone: 
which is the second death. 

9 j And there came unto me one of the seven an- 
gels which had the seven vials full of the seven last 
plagues, and talked with me, saying. Come hither, I 
will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 

10 k And he carried me away in the spirit to a 
great and high mountain, and shewed mc that great 

5 r 1 



city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven 
from God, 

1 1 Having the glory of God : and her light was 
like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper 
stone, clear as crystal ; 

1 2 ' And had a wall great and high, and had 
twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and 
names written thereon, which are the names of the 
twelve tribes of the children of Israel : 

13 On the east three gates; on the north three 
gates ; on the south three gates ; and on the west 
three gates. 

14 m And the wall of the city had twelve founda- 
tions, and in them the names of the twelve apostles 
of the Lamb. 

15 n And he that talked with me had a golden reed 
to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the 
wall thereof. 

16 ° And the city lieth four-square, and the length 
is as large as the breadth : and he measured the city 
with the reed, || twelve thousand furlongs. The 
length, and the breadth, and the height of it are 
equal. 

17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred 
and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of 
a man, that is, of the angel. 

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper; 
and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 

19 p And the foundations of the wall of the city 
were garnished with all manner of precious stones. 
The first foundation was jasper ; the second, sapphire; 
the third, a chalcedony ; the fourth, an emerald ; 

20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the 
seventh, chrysolite ; the eighth, beryl ; the ninth, a 
topaz ; the tenth, a chrysoprasus ; the eleventh, a 
jacinth ; the twelfth, an amethyst. 

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls ; every 
several gate was of one pearl ; and the street of the 
city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 

22 And I saw no temple therein : for the Lord 
God Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple of it. 

23 q And the city had no need of the sun, neither 
of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did 
lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 

24 r And the nations of them which are saved 
shall walk in the light of it : and the kings of tin: 
earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 

25 B And the gates ol it shall not be shut at all by 
day : for there shall be no night there. 

26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of 
the nations into it. 

27 l And there shall in no wise enter into it any 
thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomi- 
nation, or maheth a lie : but they which are writn n 
in the Lamb's book of life.

5 e And there shall be no night there ; and they 
need no candle, neither light of the sun ; for the Lord 
God giveth them light : and they shall reign for ever 
and ever.

ful and true ; and the Lord God of the holy prophets 

Zech. 14, 6, sen t his angel to shew unto his servants the things 
itom. 5, 17. which must shortly be done.

8 h And I John saw these things, and heard them. 
And when I had heard and seen, 1 fell down to wor- 
ship before the feet of the angel which shewed me 
these things. 

9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not : for I 
am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the pro- 
phets, and of them which keep the sayings of this 
book : worship God. 

1 ' And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of 
the prophecy of this book : for the time is at hand. 

1 1 k He that is unjust, let him be unjust still : and 
he which is filthy, let him be filthy still : and he that 
is righteous, let him be righteous still : and he that is 

^°"\f 8M holy, let him be holy still.

14 n Blessed are they that do his commandments, 
that they may have right to the tree of life, and may 
enter in through the gates into the city. 

15 ° For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and 
whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and 
whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 

16 p I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto 
you these things in the churches. I am the root and 
the offspring of Davidj and the bright and morning star. 

17 q And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. 
And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him 
that is athirst, come : and whosoever will, let him 
take the water of life freely. 

1 8 r For I testify unto every man that heareth the 
words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall 
add unto these things, God shall add unto him the 
plagues that are written in this book : 

1 9 8 And if any man shall take away from the 
words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take 
away his part out of the book of life, and out of the 
holy city, and from the things which are written in 
this book. 

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I 
come quickly ; Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with 
you all. Amen.

r\ is commanded by God to enter upon the land of Canaan, 
which God promiseth to give unto his seed, and that in his seed (viz. 
Christ Jesus our Lord) all the families of die earth should be blessed. 

In the year following, a famine in the land of Canaan forceth 
Abram with his family to go into Egypt. From this first coming into 
Egypt to the departure of the children of Israel out of it, are reck- 
oned 430 years. 

Abram and Lot in this same year return into Canaan ; but the 
land not being sufficient for both their flocks, they part asunder. Lot 
goeth to Sodom. God reneweth his promise to Abram ; he rcmovelh 
to Hebron, and there buildctb an altar. 

Bera the king of Sodom, with four other kings, rebel against Che- 
dorlaomer, but are overcome by him in thc<valley of Siddim. I ■ t

XX V. 7. Abraham dieth, aged 175 years. 

XI. 17. Heber, the fifth from Noah, dieth: from him Abraham and his 

posterity were called Hebrews. Gen. xiv. 13. 

XXVI. 34. Esau, aged forty years, marrieth Judith the daughter of Beeri the 
Hittite and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite. 

XXV. 17. Ishmael dieth, aged 137 years. 

XXVII. Jacob, by his mother's instruction, obtaineth the blessing from 
Isaac his father, which was designed for Esau. Upon which he is 

XXVIII. forced to flee into Mesopotamia, to shun his brother's rage. Upon 
the way are foretold unto him in a vision the blessings of his pos- 

XXIX. terity. At length he cometh to his uncle Laban's house, and cove- 
nanteth to serve him seven years for his daughter Rachel, but Laban 
deceived) him with Leah; tiie marriage-week being completed, 
Rachel also is given him to wife, upon condition of serving seven 
years more. 

Of Leah are born, 

Reuben, 

Simeon, 

Levi, 

Judah, from whom the Jews receive their denomination. 

Rachel, having been long barren, at length beareth Joseph : Ja- 
cob, desiring to depart, is persuaded by Laban to serve six years 
more for some pan of his flock. 

Jacob, after he had been twenty years in Mesopotamia, sets for- 
ward on his journey homewards, without acquainting his father or 
his brothers-in-law. Rachel stealeth her father's gods, and is pur- 
sued by Laban. Jacob by his prudence is reconciled to his brother 
Esau. He wrestleth with an angel at Pcniel, and is called Israel. 

About this time Dinah, Jacob's daughter, is defloured by Sichem 
the son of Hamor. Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, revenge 
their sister's quarrel, by putting all the males of Sichem to the sword ; 
for which thing Jacob reproveth them. 

Rachel is delivered of Benjamin on the way betwixt Beth-el, or 
Beth-lehem, and Ephrath, and dies in childbed. Some think that 
Job lived about this time. 

Judah lieth with Tamar his daughter-in-law in disguise. 

Joseph is hated by his brethren, and is sold to merchantmen, Ish- 
maelites and Midianites, who carry him into Egypt, where he is sold 
to Potiphar an officer of Pharaoh, and by him made overseer of his 
house. 

Joseph resisteth the temptations of his master's wife ; he is falsely 
accused by her, and cast into prison. He interpreted! the dreams 
of Pharaoh's butler and baker, which come to pass according to his 
interpretation. 

Isaac dieth, aged 180 years, and is buried by his sons, Jacob and 
Esau. 

Joseph interpreteth Pharaoh's two dreams ; he giveth Pharaoh 
counsel, and is made governor of the whole land of Egypt. 

Here begin the seven years of plenty in the land of Egypt. About 
this time Manasseh and Ephraim, Joseph's two sons, are born of 
Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah, priest of On. 

Here begin the seven years of famine. 

Jacob sendeth his ten sons to buy com in Egypt; they are impri- 
soned by Joseph for spies; but are set at liberty on condition of 
bringing Benjamin ; and Simeon is kept as a pledge. 

Jacob is with much difficulty persuaded to send Benjamin. Jo- 
seph maketh himself known to his brethren, and sendeth for his 
father by command from Pharaoh. 

Jacob, having offered sacrifice to God for that his son Joseph is 
yet alive, goes with all his family into Egypt k\ the third year of the 
famine, and 130th year of his age. He is seated in the land of 
Goshen. 

Joseph getteth all the money, lands, and cattle, of the Egyptians 
for bread ; only the lands belonging to the priests he huyeth not. 

Jacob adoptetli Ephraim and Manasbeh, and blesseth them, and 
all his sons : prophesieth the descent of the Messiah from Judah, 
and dieth, aged 147 years ; seventeen whereof he lived in Egypt. 
He is with great pomp carried into Canaan, and buried in the sepul- 
chre of his father. 

Joseph on his death-bed prophesieth unto his brethren their return 
to Car.aan ; takes an oath of them to carry his bones out of Egypt, 
and dieth, aged 110 years. 

The book of Genesis endeth in the death of Joseph, containing 
the history of 23G9 years: next to which in order of time the book 
of Job follows, written (as it is generally believed) by Moses. 

Levi dieth in Egypt, aged 137 years ; he was grandfather to Moses 
and Aaron. 

Here begins the bondage of the children of Israel, when a king rose 
up in Egypt, who knew not Joseph. 

Aaron born three years before his brother Moses, 83 years before 
the departure of the children of Israel out of Egypt. 

Pharaoh having in vain commanded the Hebrew midwives to de- 
stroy all the males of the Israelites, sets forth an edict, charging that 
they be all cast into the river. 

Moses is born, who, being hid in the flags hy the river's side, is 
found by Pharaoh's daughter; and becomes her adopted son. 

Moses, in the 40th year of his age, having slain an Egyptian, 
whom he saw contending with a Hebrew, depth into Midian, where 
he marrieth Zipporah the daughter of Reuel, or Jethro, a priest, and 
liveth with him forty years. 

Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, born. 

Whilst Moses keeps his father-in-law's sheep at mount Horeb, 
God appeareth to rum in a burning bush, and sendeth him to deliver 
Israel. 

Moses and Aaron having declared to Pharaoh the message on 
which they are sent unto him from God, are charged by him as 
heads of a mutiny, and sent away with many bad words; and more 
grievous labours are forthwith laid upon the Israelites.

Moses being now 80, and Aaron 83 years of age, urged thereunto 
by God, return again unto Pharaoh, where the magicians by tlieif 
sorcery, imitating the miracles of Aaron's rod turned into a serpent, 
make Pharaoh more obstinate than he was before. Wherefore God 
by the hand of Moses lays ten plagues upon the Egyptians. 

The fourth Age of the World. 

UPON the fourteenth day of the. first month, (which was May 
the fourth, upon Monday with us) in the evening, the passover 
is instituted. 

Upon the fifteenth of the same month, at midnight, the first-born 
of Egypt being all slain, Pharaoh and his servants make haste to 
send away the Israelites; and they, the self-same day wherein thev 
were let go out of bondage, being the complete term of 430 years 
from the first pilgrimage of their ancestors, reckoning from Abra- 
ham's departure out of Charran, take their journey, and inarch 
away, being 600,000 men, besides children, and come to l;anieses, 
from whence by several encampings they come to the Red Sea, ihu 
Lord conducting them in a pillar of a cloud by day, and in a pillar 
of fire by night. They carry Joseph's bones with them. 

At the Red Sea Pharaoh with his host overtakes them ; Moses 
divides the waters with his rod, and the children of Israel pass 
through on dry ground unto the desert of Etham ; whom, when Pha- 
raoh and his army would needs follow, they are all overwhelmed by 
the waters coming together at the dawning of the day, whereby the 
Israelites are wholly freed from the bondage of the Egyptians; 
whose carcases when they see floating all the sea over, and cast upon 
the shore, they sing a song of praise and thanksgiving unto God. 

Upon the fifteenth of the second month, (our June the 4th, being 
1'hursday) the Israelites come to the wilderness of Zin, which lieth 
between Elyma and Sinai, where, for want of food, they murniu 
against God and their leaders : about the even-tide God sends them 
quails, and the next morning rains upon them manna from heaven ; 
and upon that kind of bread they lived afterward by the space or 
forty years, even till they came to the borders of the land of promiss. 
An omer of it is preserved for a memorial. 

At Rephidim, which was the eleventh place of their encamping, 
the people murmur for want of water: Moses gives them water hy 
striking the hard rock in Horeb with his rod. 

The Amalekites falling upon the rear of the Israelites are discom- 
fited by Joshua, whilst Moses holds up his hands to God in prayer. 

God publisheth his Law, contained in the Ten Commandments, 
with a terrible voice from mount Sinai. 

The people being in great fear, God gives them sundry other laws, 
all which being written in the book of the covenant, Moses proposelh 
them to the people : which done, rising early in the morning, he 
builds an altar at the foot of the mountain, and sets up 12 statues, 
according to the 12 tribes of Israel, and sends 12 young men of the 
first-born, (whom the Lord hath consecrated to himself as ministers 
of those holy things, before the Levitical priesthood was ordained) 
which offer sacrifice, first for sin, and then for thanksgiving, to the 
Lord : and when Moses had read the book of the covenant, he 
takes the blood of the calves and goats so offered, and with water, 
scarlet wool, and hyssop, sprinkles the book therewith, and all the 
people, or those 12 statues representing them ; and so performs a 
solemn covenant between God and his people. 

Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and 70 men of the elders ol 
Israel, go up into the mount, and there behold the glory of God : the 
rest returning, Moses with his servant Joshua abides there still, and 
waits six days, and upon the seventh day God speaks unto hiin, and 
there he continues 40 days and 40 nights (reckoning those six days 
which he waited for the appearance of the Lord) eating no meat all 
that while, nor drinking water ; {Deut. ix. 9.) where lie receives 
God's command touching the frame of the tabernacle, the priests' 
garments, their consecration, sacrifices, and other things comprised 
in this and the six following chapters. 

At the end of 40 days God gives Moses the two tables of the Law 
in stone, made bv God's own hand, and written with his own finger; 
bidding him withal quickly to get him down, for that the people had 
already made to themselves a molten calf to worship. Moses by 
prayer pacifieth God, and goes down from the mount, and seeing the 
people keeping a festival in honour of their idol in the camp, he 
breaks the tables of the law at the foot of the mount : for which the 
Jews keep a solemn fast unto this day. 

Moses, having burnt and defaced the idol, puts 3000 of the idola- 
ters to death by the hands of the Levites. 

God commands Moses to frame new tables of stone, and to 
bring them with him into the mount : Moses brings them the next 
morning, and while he stands in the cleft of a rock, God passeth by, 
and sheweth him a glimpse of his glory. 

God renews his covenant with his people, and upon certain con- 
ditions gives them his laws again. 

In the first six months of this year, the tabernacle, the ark of the 
covenant, the altar, the table of shew-bread, the priests' garments, 
the holy ointments, the candlestick, and other utensils and vessels 
belonging to the sacrifices, are finished in the desert at mount Sinai, 
and are brought unto Moses. 

The tabernacle is set up and anointed with holy oil. Aaron and 
his sons are consecrated for the priesthood. 

Nadab and Abihu, for offering strange fire, are struck dead in th< 
place bv fire from heaven. 

The princes of the tribes present their offerings towards the dedi- 
cation of the tabernacle. God speaketli to Moses from the mercy 
seat. 

The second passover is instituted. 

Jethro, who is also called llobab, brings his daughter Zipporan, 
with her two sons, Gershom and Eliezer, which were left with him, to 
his son-in-law Moses : and having congratulated his and tne whole 
people of Israel's deliverance out of bondage, he openly declares his 
faith and devotion towards the true God. By his advice Moses

impart? the government of the people to some others, and ordains 
magistrates for the deciding of leaser causes. 

.Moses complains to Hod of the overgreat burden of his govern- 
ment: God, to ease him of Iris charge, gives him for assistance the 
court ol" 70 elders. 

The people lust for flesh. God gives them quails in wrath: and 
sends withal a most grievous plague among them. 

God rebukes the sedition of Miriam and Aaron, and maintaineth 
Moses his right. 

From the wilderness of Paran, near Kadesh-bamea, 12 men are 
sent (among whom are Caleb and Joshua: to discover the land of 
Canaan. Returning, they bring with them a branch of a vine, with 
a cluster of grapes upon it: ten of the twelve so sent speak ill of the 
country, declare it barren, and magnify the cities for their strength, 
and the giantly stature of the inhabitants. 

The people, terrified with this relation, are about to return into 
Egypt, from which Caleb and Joshua endeavouring to dissuade them 
are like to be stoned. At this God is so provoked, that he threatens 
to destroy them ; but is prevailed upon by Moses his prayers to 
spare them. Nevertheless he denounceth that all who are now 20 
years old and upward (except Caleb and Joshua) shall die in the 
wilderness. The men who raised the evil report are all destroyed 
by sudden death. Some endeavouring to enter upon the promised 
land, contrary to the command of God, are smitten by the Anialek- 
ites and Canaanites. 

In this place, viz. Kadesh-bamea, the Israelites continue many 
days; but that in some places they continued many years, appeareth, 
for that in the space of 37 years there are but 17 encampings men- 
tioned. 

To their long continuance in Kadesh, and the encampings from 
thence, all that v. e find delivered in die xvth and four next ensuing 
chapters of J\~nmhers, seems to refer ; as how Korah, Dadian, and 
Abiram, for raising a mutiny against Moses and Aaron, weie swal- 
lowed alive into the earth, and 2i0 of their associates : and how the 
people, murmuring against Moses and Aaron for the calamity which 
had befallen their brethren, were destroyed by God to the number of 
14,700 men ; and how twelve rods being brought by 12 princes, and 
laid in the sanctuary, Aaron's rod only budded, and brought forth 
almonds, and was laid up before the ark, for a memorial to those 
who should afterward be given to rebellion. 

In these 37 years the Israelites by 17 encampings, having com- 
passed the hill country of Seir and Edom, they come to the wilder- 
ness of Zin in the first month of the 40th year after their departure 
out of Egypt. 

Here Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, dieth. 
The people again fur want of water murmur against Moses and 
Aaron, whom when God had commanded to call water out of the 
rock only by speaking to it, Moses, being moved in his mind through 
impatience and diffidence of the thing, speaks something, whatever 
it was, unadvisedly with his lips, and strikes the rock thrice with 
Aaron's rod, and thereby draws water from it ; but for transgressing 
God's command, they are both debarred from entering into the land 
of Canaan. 

In the fifth month of this year Aaron dieth at Mosera, on the top 
of mount Hor, at the age of 12.5 years, leaving his son Eleazar his 
successor in the high priestiiood. 

The people murmuring are plagued with fiery serpents, whereof 
many die: upon their repentance God commands that a brazen ser- 
pent be made and lifted up upon a pole, that as many as look on it 
may live. 

About the latter end of this year, all those who at Kadesh-barnea 
mutinied against God, being wholly extinct and dead, the Israelites 
pass over Zared, and come to the borders of Moab at Ar, and at 
length they arrive at Bainoth, a valley in the country of the Moab- 
ites, and pitch at mount Pisgah. 

Sihon, kin^ of the Amorites, refusing them passage through his 
country, is slain, and the Israelites possess his land. 

Og, the king of Bashan, coming out against Israel, is destroyed 
with all his people, not one left alive, and his country possessed by 
the Israelites. 

After these victories the Israelites set forward, and encamp in the 
plains of Moab. 

Balak, king of Moah. considering what the Israelites had done to 
the Amorites, fears, lest, under pretence of passing through his 
country, they should possess themselves of his whole kingdom ; takes 
counsel with the princes of the .Midianites his neighbours, and sends 
for Balaam a soothsayer out of Mesopotamia to come and curse the 
Israelites, promising him great rewards for his labour: purposing 
afterward to make war upon them. 

Balaam, forewarned of God, refuscth at first to come; but being 
sent for a second time, he importuneth God to let him go, and goes 
with a purpose indeed to curse Israel ; but God, offended thereat, 
makes the dumb ass of this wizard, on which he rode, speaking in a 
man's voice, to reprove his folly. 

Balaam twice offers sacrifice, and would fain have cursed Israel, 
to gratify Balak therein; but being forced thereto by the Spirit of 
God, instead of cursing, he blesseth them altogether; foretelling 
what felicity attended them, and what calamities should befall their 
enemies. 

By his advice the women of Moab and Midian are set on work to 
turn the Israelites away to idolatry. Wherefore God commands 
Moses first to take all the ringleaders of this disorder, and to hang 
them up before the sun. and then give ? order to the judges to put 
to death all Mich as had joined themselves to Baal-peor. Last of 
all, God sends a plague upon the people, whereof die 23,000 men in 
one day: which added to them which were hanged and killed with 
the sword, amount in all to 2 1,000. 

Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, by killing Zimri, the chief of his 
father's family, and Cozbi the daughter of Zur, a prince of the Mi- 
dianites, appeaseth the wrath ol God, and the plague ceasclh. God

therefore serfleth the high priesthood for ever upon the house of 
Phinehas, and commands that war be made upon the Midianites. 

Moses and Eleazar, by God's command, in the plain of Moab, 
near unto Jordan, over against Jericho, number the people from 
twenty years old and upwards, and fiud them to be 601,730 nieu. 
besides the Levites, whose number, reckoning them from one moir.rt 
old and upwards, conies to 23.000 ; and then Moses receives com- 
mand for the parting the land of promise among the Israelites. 

The daughters of Zelophehad have their father's land parted 
among them, for want of issue male; this occasions the law for suc- 
cession in heritages to be made. 

God signifies to Moses that he shall die, and Joshua is thereupon 
declared to be his successor ; upon whom Moses lays his hands, and 
gives him instructions. Several laws are made. 

Twelve thousand of the Israelites under the command of Phinehas 
vanquish the Midianites, and put to the sword all the males among 
them, with their live princes, and among them Zur, the father of 
Cszbi, and Balaam the wizard ; but the} - save the women alive ; at 
which Moses is wroth, and commands that every male child, and all 
the women, except such as be virgins, be killed. 

The lands which belonged to Sihon and Og, namely, all from the 
river Anion to mount Hermon. Moses divides and gives to the tribes 
of Reuben and Gad, and the halt-tribe of Manasseh ; so that their 
possessions lay on this side Jordan ; nevertheless, they assist the 
rest of the tribes in all their wars, till they have subdued the Ca- 
naanites, and possessed the promised land. 

Moses commands the people, that in their passage over Jordan 
they shall set up great stones, and engrave the Ten Commandments 
on them, with the fonn of blessing upon mount Gerizim, and of cirrs- 
ing on mount Ebal ; exhorting them to observe the law of God, by 
setting before their eyes the benefits that would ensue thereon. 

He also renews the covenant made by God with them and their 
children on mount Horeb, and again persuades them to keep that 
covenant by all the blessings and curses which would undoubtedly 
follow the keepers or breakers of it; yet with a promise of pardon 
and deliverance, if at any time, having broken it, they shall repent 
them of their sin ; and tells diem further, that God had therefore thus 
declared his will unto them, to the end that none hereafter offending 
shall pretend ignorance. 

Moses, having written this law, delivers it to the priests the sons 
of Levi, and the elders of the people, to be kept ; the same day also 
he writes his most excellent song, and teaches the same to the chil- 
dren of Israel to be sung; and having finished the book of the law, 
he takes order to have it laid up in the side of the ark. 

Moses, now drawing near to his end, blesseth every tribe in par- 
ticular by way of prophecy, save oidy the tribe of Simeon. 

In the 12th month of this year he goes up to mount Nebo, and 
from thence beholds the land of promise, and there dieth, aged 129 
years; the body of Moses God translates out of the place where he 
died, into a valley of the land of Moab, over against Beth-peer, and 
there burieth it; nor doth any man know the place where he laid it 
unto this day. The Israelites mourn for him ol) days. 

Here ends the Pentateuch, or five books of Moses, containing the 
history of 2552 years and a half, from the beginning of the world : 
and the book of Joshua begins with the forty-first year after the ae- 
parture of the children of Israel out of Egypt. 

Joshua, being confirmed in his government by God, sends fnrrh 
spies from Shittiin to the city of Jericho, who, being harboured by 
Rahab, are privily sent away, when search is made for them. 

Upon the tenth day of the first month, {April 30) to wit, the same 
day that the Paschal Lamb was to be chosen out of the dock, the 
Israelites under the conduct of Joshua, a type of Jesus Christ, go 
up out of the river Jordan into the promisea land ol Canaan, a tj pe 
of a more heavenly country. They pass through the river on dry 
ground, the waters being for the present divided ; for a memorial of 
which miraculous passage, Joshua sets up 12 stones in the very 
channel of Jordan, and taking 12 other stones out of the midst 
thereof sets them up at Gilgal, the place where they next encamp. 

The day following Joshua renews the use of circumcision, which 
had been omitted 40 years. 

Upon the 1-lth dav of the same month, in the evening, the Israel- 
ites celebrate their first passovcr in the land of Canaan. 

Next dav alter the passover manna ceaeeth. 

Our Lord Jesus, Captain of his Father's host, appears to Joshua, 
the typical Jesus, before Jericho, with a drawn sword in his baud, 
and proinisrth there to defend his people. 

Jericho, the ark of the Lord having been carried round about it, 
is taken the BSventh dav, the walls thereof falling down at the sound 
of the priest-.' trumpets; all the inhabitants are put to the sword, 
except Rahab and her family. 

The Israelites besiege Ai,' and are smitten by their rncmie .

the sua to stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of 
Ajalon, by the space almost of one whole day, until the Israelites 
are fully avenged of their enemies. The five kings hide themselves 
in a cave at Makkedah ; from whence they are brought forth, scorn- 
fully used, and hanged. 

From the autumn of this year, wherein, after the failing of manna, 
they began to till the ground, the rise of the sabbatical years is to be 
taken. 

Joshua, now grown old, is commanded by God to divide all the 
land on the west of Jordan among the nine tribes remaining, and 
the other half-tribe of Manasseh. The Lord and his sacrifices are 
the inheritance of Levi. 

The rest of the kings, with whom Joshua had waged war for six 
years, resolve to set upon him with united forces : but Joshua comes 
upon them unawares, slays them, and possesseth their countries.

The first sabbatical year, or year of rest; from hence the year of 
Jubilee, or every fifty years' space, is to be reckoned. 

The tabernacle is set up at Shiloh, (thought to be the same with 
Salem,) where it continued 328 years. 

The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, with a 
blessing are sent home to their possessions on the other side of 
Jordan. 

Joshua gathers together all Israel, exhorts them to obedience, 
briefly recites God's benefits to them, reneweth tire covenant be- 
tween them and God, and dieth 110 years old. 

After the decease of Joshua, and the elders who outlived him, 
and who remembered the wonders which God had wrought for Israel, 
there succeeds a generation of men which forget God, and mingle 
themselves widi theCanaanites by marriage, and worship their idols. 
In this time of anarchy and confusion, when every man did that 
which seemed right in his own eyes, all those disorders were com- 
mitted, which are reported in the five last chapters of the Book of 
Judges ; to wit, the idolatry of Micah, and the children of Dan ; the 
war of the Benjamites, and the cause thereof. God, being highly 
provoked, gives them up into the hands of Cushan king of Mesopo- 
tamia; which first calamity of theirs holds them but eight years. 

Othniel, the son of Kenaz, and son-in-law to Caleb, stirred up by 
God as a judge and avenger of his people, defeats Cushan, and de- 
livers the Israelites out of bondage; and the land rested forty years 
after the first rest which Joshua procured for them. 

Othniel dying, the Israelites fell again to sin against God, and are 
given over into the hands of Eglon king of Moab, who, joining with 
the Ammonites and the Amalekites, overthrows the Israelites, and 
takes Jericho ; and this second oppression continueth 18 years. 

Ehud the son of Gera is raised up by God to be an avenger of his 
people ; for feigning a message to Eglon, he runs him into the belly 
with his dagger; then getting away, he gathers all Israel into a body 
on mount Ephraim, and slays 10,000 of the most valiant men of 
Moab : and the land resteth 40 years after the former rest obtained 
by Othniel. 

After him, Shamgar, the son of Anath, slayeth 600 Philistines with 
an ox-goad, and be also avengeth Israel. 

The Israelites, after the death of Ehud, returning to their old sin, 
are given up by God into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan ; and 
this thraldom of theirs continueth 20 years. 

Deborah, the wife of Lapidoth, a prophetess, who at this time 
judgeth Israel in mount Ephraim, and Barak of the tribe of Naph- 
tali, being made captain of the host of Israel, in sight of Megiddo, 
overcomes Sisera, captain of Jabin's army, whom Jael the wife of 
Heber the Kenite afterward kills in her own tent. For a memorial 
of which victory Deborah composeth a song; and the land resteth 
40 years after the former rest obtained by Ehud. 

The Israelites sinning again are delivered into the hands of the 
Midianites; which fourth thraldom lasteth 7 years. Hereupon they 
cry unto God for help, and are reproved by a prophet. Then Gideon 
the son of Joash, of Manasseh, is by an angel from God sent to 
deliver them, He first overturns the altar of Baal and burns his 
grove, and is called Jerubbaal. He out of 32,000 men, which came 
unto him, chooseth only (God so commanding) 300; but with them 
he puts to flight all the host of the Midianites, whom the Ephraim- 
ites afterward pursue, and slay their prnces Oreb and Zeeb. Gideon 
having pacified the Ephraimites, who complain that they were not 
called to the battle at first, passeth the river Jordan, and defeats the 
remainder of the Midianitish army ; he chastiseth also the men of 
Succoth and Penuel, who had refused him victuals in his journey; 
and slays the two kings of the Midianites, Zebah and Zalmunna. 
After which great victories, the Israelites offering tc settle the king- 
dom upon him and his posterity, he refuseth it; but receiving their 
golden ear-rings, he makes thereof an ephod, which afterward proves 
an occasion of idolatry. The Midianites being thus vanquished, the 
land enjoys rest 40 years, after the former rest restored to them by 
Deborah and Barak. 

Gideon dieth, and the Israelites, falling back again to idolatry, 
worship Baal-berith for their god. 

Abimelech the son of Gideon (begotten upon his concubine) pur- 
posing to get to himself the kingdom which his father had refused, 
slaveth 70 of his brothers all upon one stone ; and having by the help 
of the Shechemites got to be made king, Jotham the youngest son of 
Gideon, who only escaped Abimelech's fury, from the top of mount 
Gerizim expostulates with them the wrong they had done to his 
fatner's house; and byway of a parable foretells their ruin: which 
done, he flies, and dwells quietly in Beer. 

Abhnelech, having reigned three years over Israel, Goal a She- lj 
Ichemite conspires against him: which being- discovered to him by [j

Zebul, he utterly destroys the city of Shechem, and puts all the in 
habitants to the sword, and bums the temple of their god Beritli 
with fire ; from thence he goeth and layeth siege to Thebez, where 
he is knocked on the head with a piece of a millstone, cast upon 
him by a woman from the walls, and then killed outright by his 
armour-bearer. 
Tola the son of Puah, after Abimelech, judgeth Israel 23 years. 
Jair the Gileadite succeeds Tola, and judgeth Israel 22 years. 
The Israelites, forsaking again the true God, fall to worship the 
gods of several nations, and are given up into the hands of the Phi- 
listines and Ammonites ; which fifth thraldom lasteth 18 years. 
Upon their repentance, and abandoning their idols, at length they 
obtain mercy. 

Jephthah the Gileadite, being made captain of the host of Israel, 
subdues the Ammonites ; before the battle he vows his daughter un- 
awares to be offered in sacrifice, and afterward performs it. He 
puts to the sword 42,000 Ephraimites, who had behaved themselves 
insolently against him, and judgeth Israel 6 years. 

Ibzan the Bethlehemite succeeds Jephthah, and judgeth Israel 
7 years. 
Elon the Zebulonite succeeds Ibzan, and judgeth Israel 10 years. 
Abdon the Ephraimite succeeds Elon, and judgeth Israel 8 years. 
Eli the high priest (in whom the high priesthood was translated 
from the family of Eleazar to Ithamar's) succeeds Abdon, and judg- 
eth Israel 40 years. The Israelites again provoke the Lord to anger, 
and he delivers them into the hands of the Philistines. This sixth 
thraldom begins seven months after Eli's entering upon t'ie govern- 
ment, and lasteth 40 years, even till seven months aft* his death, 
when the ark was brought back again. 

Samson the Nazarite, as an angel had foretold, is born at Zorah. 
Whilst Eli the high priest executeth the office of a judge in civil 
causes under the Philistines, Samson takes an occasion to quarrel 
with them, by marrying a woman of Timnath ; for having on the day 
of his betrothing propounded a riddle to the Philistines, and laid a 
wager, his wife tells them the meaning of it : enraged hereat, he goes 
and slays 30 men of Askelon, and gives them the suits of raiment 
which he had stripped off their bodies, in performance of the wager 
which he had lost, and returns home to his father. 

Samson again in harvest-time goes to present his wife with a kid 
at her father's house, but finds her given away in marriage to an- 
other man ; Samson resolves to he revenged ; he catches 300 foxes, 
and tying fire-brands to their tails, turns them all into the corn-fields 
of the Philistines, and into their vineyards, and olive-gardens, and 
sets them all on fire. The Philistines take Samson's wife and 
father-in-law, and burn them ; Samson in revenge slays a great mul- 
titude of them, and sits down upon the rock Etam, from whence be- 
ing taken by 3000 of the Jews, and by them delivered into the 
hands of the Philistines, he slays of them a thousand men with the 
jaw-bone of an ass; in which place he is miraculously refreshed, 
when thirsty and ready to faint. 

Samson is betrayed by Delilah his concubine, bereaved of the 
hair of his iVazariteship, and delivered to the Philistines; who put 
out his eyes, and bind him with chains of brass. The Philistines 
gather together to offer sacrifice to Dagon their god, and Samson is 
brought to make them sport; whose hair being grown, and his 
strength in a great measure restored, he takes hold of the two chief 
pillars whereon the house stood (wherein were the princes of (he 
Philistines, and a great multitude of people) and pulls down the 
house, killing more men at his death, than he did in all his life-time.. 
So he died, having judged Israel in the days of the Philistines 20 years. 
The Israelites take up arms against the Philistines, but with very 
ill success, for they lose 4000 men in one battle. Then they send 
for the ark of the covenant from Shiloh, and cause it to be brought 
into the camp. The Philistines, seeing now all lie at stake, en- 
courage one another to behave themselves like men that day; and 
so falling on, they slay of the Israelites 30,000 men. The ark of 
God is taken, and Hophni and Phinehas, priests, and sons of Eli, 
are slain. Of all which when tidings are brought to old Eli, frighted 
thereat, he falls from his chair and breaks his neck, in the 98th year 
of his age. 

The Philistines, having brought the ark into Ashdod, set it in the 
house of Dagon their god. But when Dagon had been found two 
several times fallen grovelling before it, and broken in pieces, and 
the inhabitants of the place sorely plagued, they remove it from 
thence to Gath, and from thence to Ekron. But the same plagues 
and judgments following wherever it went, after 7 months, by the 
advice of their priests, they send home the ark again with presents 
and gifts into the land of the Israelites, and it is brought to Beth- 
shemesh, where 50,070 men are smitten for looking into the ark. 
From hence it is carried to 'the house of Abinadab in Kirjath-jearhn, 
who sanctifielh his son Eleazar to keep it. 

After 20 years the Israelites, by Samuel's persuasion, solemnly 
repent at Mizpeh, and, upon their conversion, God by thunder from 
heaven delivers them from the invasion of the Philistines, who are 
subdued, the hand of the Lord being against them all the days of 
Samuel. 

Samuel, being grown old, takes for his assistance in the govern- 
ment his sons; by whose ill management of affairs, the Israelites 
require a king to be given them : whereupon God gives them a king 
in his wrath, to wit, Saul the son of Kish, after Samuel had judged 
Israel 21 yeais. Saul is privately anointed by Samuel, and after- 
ward publicly proclaimed king at Mizpeh. About a month after 
Jabesh-gilead is besieged by Nahash king of the Ammonites, and 
the siege raised by Saul : whereupon the whole congregation ot 
Israel, coming together at Gilgal, again proclaim Saul king. 

David the. son of Jesse the Ephrathite, born at Beth-lehem-judah 
30 years before he succeeded Saul in the kingdom. He was his 
father's youngest son. , 

God rejects Saul, and sends Samuel to Beth-lehem, ther? to anoint 
David king, whom Saul ever after extremely persecuteth.

Yet Jonathan, Saul's son, loveth him, and oftentimes rescueth 
him from Saul's cruelty. 

XXIV. David, having Saul twice in his power, forbears to hurt him. 

$V mi o D . avld ' fea - rm 'i he may some time or other fall into the hands of 
JtVII. Saul, flies to Gath imtn king Achish, carrying with him 600 men ; 
and having obtained of him the town of Ziklag to dwell in, he con- 
tiuuetli one year and four months in the land of the Philistines i 
from whence he invadeth the countries of the Geshurites, Gezrites, 
and Amalekites, and puts to the sword all, both men and women, 
not leaving one alive to carry the news thereof to king Achish. 

XXVIII. Achish, proposing to make war upon the Israelites, takes David 

1 Chron. along with him in that expedition, to whom, whilst he is upon his 

XII. march with his 600 men, repair a great many others of the tribe of 
Manasseh, and join with him. 

1 Sam. Said, seeing the army of the Philistines, is in great fear, and (Sam- 
XVIII. uel being now dead) goes to En-dor to consult with a witch there; 

the woman raiseth an apparition of Samuel, and Saul receives from 
it that dreadful doom, The Lord will deliver Israel, together with 
thyself, into the hands of the Philistines. 
; -- The princes of the Philistines growing jealous of David, he and 

his company early the next morning leave the army, and return to 
Ziklag. 

The armies join battle; and the Israelites are defeated ; the three 
sons of Saul arc slain, and he himself falls on his own sword. 

I Sam. I. Three days after, an Amalekite brings Saul's crown, and the brace- 

let that was upun his arm, and presents them to David, professing 
that, finding him fallen upon his sword, he had killed him outright, 
and taken the crown from off his head : whereupon David causeth 
him to be put to death for stretching forth his hand to slay the Lord's 
anointed, and lamenteth the death of Saul and Jonathan his son in 
a funeral song. David, having asked counsel of. God, goes up to 

1 Chron. Hebron wi'i those that are about him, where he is anointed king by 
£11. 23. the men o' Judah, his own tribe, in the 30th year of his age; and 
there he reigns seven years and six months. 

2 Sam. Abner, who was captain of the host of Saul, carries Ishbosheth, 
II. 8, Saul's son, to Mahanaim, and there makes him king over the rest of 

Israel. 

After two years there arise frequent and mortal skirmishes be- 
tween a party of men on David's side, headed by Joab, David's ne- 
phew, and another party on Ishbosheth's side, whereof Abner is 
chief ; but the former still grows stronger and stronger. 

HI. 6, Abner, affronted by Ishbosheth, revoltethto David, and deals with 

the chief men of Israel to transfer the whole kingdom unto him, and 
this in the hearing of the Beujamites. 

He comes to David, and is kindly received ; returning, he is 
treacherously murdered by Joab. David much laments his untimely 
death, and buries him at Hebron. 

IV. 2. Baanah and Rechab murder their lord and master Ishbosheth, as 

he lieth resting himself upon his oed. They bring his head to Da- 
vid, who in detestation of their treason causeth them immediately 
to be put to death. 

V. The captains and elders of all the tribes coming to Hebron, anoint 
David a third time, and make him king over all Israel. 

1 Chron. David with all Israel marcheth to Jerusalem against the Jenu- 

XI. sites, and taketh the fort of Zion, and calls it the city of David, and 
2 Sam. V. making Jerusalem the scat of his kingdom, reigneth there over all 
5, 6, 7, 9. Israel 33 years. 

VI. The ark of the covenant, which in the first sabbatical year uas 

1 Chron. brought from Gilgal to Shiloh, is this year, being also a sabbatical 

XVI. year, brought from Kirjath-jearim out of the house of Abinadab, and 

2 Chron. placed at Zion; 30,000 choice men of Israel attending it, and sing- 
I. 4. ' ing the 68th Psalm. 

2 Sam. David now dwelling in his house of cedar, which he had built, and 

VII. living in a full and perfect peace, imparteth to Nathan the prophet 
1 Chron. his purpose of building a house for God ; but is answered from God, 

XVII. that this was a work which should be done, not by him, because he 
XXII. was a man of blood, and trained up in war; but by his son Solo- 
2 Sam. inon, a man of peace, which should be bom unto him. The time 

VIII. which passeth from hence till the birth of Solomon is spent in wars, 
1 Chron. wherein David subdues the Philistines, Ldomites, Amalekites, Moab- 

XVIH. ites, Ammonites, and Syrians, and extends his kingdom to the ut- 
Genesis most bound of that land which had been promised to the seed of 
XV. 18. Abraham, and never possessed by any of them, save only by David 
Deut. and his son Solomon. 

XI. 24. At the end of this year Joab, going with the army against the 

1 Kings Ammonites, besiegelh P.abbah, the metropolis of Amnion, whilst 

IV. David takes his ease at Jerusalem, and there commits adultery with 

2 Sam. XI. Bathsheha the wife of Uriah the Hittite, who was then in the army, 

1 Chron. whom he also procures to he slain. 

XX. The child so gotten in adultery is born. David is convicted by 

2 Sam. Nathan the prophet of his sin, and he repents; in testimony whereof 

XII. he composed! the 51st Psalm. The child dielh. 

25. Bathsheha becomes now David's wife, and bcareth him a son, 

1 Chron. unto whom, as, unto one who should prove a man of peace, God 

XXII. gives the name of Solomon ; and, as to one beloved of the Lord, the 

9. name of Jedidiah. 

2 Sam. Amnon, David's eldest soil, ricfloiueth his sister Tamar. 

XIII. Absalom avengeth his sister Tamar, and killeth his lu-other Am- 
1,23. non; for which thing he fleeth to Geshur in Syria, where he con- 
tinues three years with king Talmai, his grandfather by the mother's 
side. 

XIV. After three years exile he returns to Jerusalem, where he con- 
tinues two years, before the king his father admits him into his 
presence, and is reconciled to him. 

XV. This rebel son having got chariots and horses, and a guard to 
attend him, insinuates himself into the favour of the people, and 
steals away their hearts from his father David. 

7. The next year following, under pretence of a vow, he obtained) 

leave to goto Hebron, where, by Ahithophel's counsel, he breaks 
out into open rebellion, and forceth his lather to fly from Jerusalem.

Ahithophel, because his counsel in all matters is not followed by 

Absalom, hangs himself. 

Absalom having lost 20,000 men, fleeth, and a bough of an oak 
catching hold of him, he there hangs, and is run through by Joab. 

David, tempted by Satan, commandeth Joab to number the peo- 
ple : God, offended thereat, sends a prophet to put three plagues to 
his choice, viz. the famine, sword, or pestilence. David chooseth to 
fall into the hands of a merciful God, rather than into the hands o. 
men. So God sends a pestilence; whereof 70,000 men die in one 
day. The angel being about to destroy Jerusalem, God bids lum 
hold his hand ; for he beholds David repenting in sackcloth, and 
entreating him to spare the innocent people, and to turn his hand 
upon himself, and upon his father's house. 

Rehoboam is born unto Solomon by Naamah, an Ainmonitish 
woman. 

David being now 70 years of age, and broken with continual cares 
and wars, grows so weak and feeble, that clothes can no longer pre- 
serve heat in him. Therefore Abishag, a young virgin, is appointed to 
keep him warm. Adonijah, seeing his father thus declining, by the 
assistance of Joab and Abiathar, makes himself king: which David 
understanding, he presently commands Zadok the priest, and Na- 
than the prophet, with other great men, to anoint Solomon king. 
Adonijah hearing this, betakes himself to the sanctuary, and is 
pardoned. 

David, having given instructions to his son Solomon, dieth ; aftoi 
he had reigned in Hebron seven years and six months, and 33 years 
in Jerusalem over all Israel. 

Pharaoh, king of Egypt, gives his daughter in marriage to Solomon. 

The Lord appears to Solomon in a dream, and bids him ask what 
he will, and it shall be given him. Solomon asketh wisdom ; God 
gives him wisdom from above, and adds thereunto riches and 
honour. Of tins divine wisdom Solomon makes an eminent mani- 
festation in judging between two harlots. 

Tlie fifth A S e of the World. 
OOLOMON layeth the foundation of the temple in the 480th year 
IO after the departure of the children of Israel out of Egypt. 

Solomon's temple finished in the eleventh year of his reign ; hav- 
ing been seven years and a half in building. 

Solomon this year (being the 9th Jubilee, and opening the fourth 
Millenary °' lll ° world) with great magnificence celebrates the dedi- 
cation of the temple : at which time God giveth a visible sign of his 
favour. 

Solomon having, as it is with reason believed, forsaken his lusts 
and vanities, to which he had been too intemperately addicted, anri 
written, as a testimony of his repentance, his book called, The 
Preacher, dieth. He reigned 40 years. 

The Israelites assemble at Shechem to crown Rehoboam, Solo- 
mon's son, king over all Israel. The people by Jeroboam sue unto 
him for a removal of some grievances; to whom Rehoboam, by the 
advice of young men, returning a harsh answer, alienates the hearts 
of ten tribes from him, who make Jeroboam king over them, anri 
fall at the same time from the house of David, and from the true 
worship of God. 

Jeroboam, in the beginning of his reign, repairs Shechem, destroy, 
ed by Abimelech 258 years before, and there dwells; afterward go, 
ing over Jordan he builds Penuel, and at length makes Tirzah the 
seat of his kingdom. But fearing lest his new subjects by going to 
Jerusalem to worship, may be induced to revolt from him, he dc- 
viselh a new form of religion, setting up two golden calves, the one 
at Beth-el, the other at Dan, for the seduced people to bow down unto. 

From the time of this dismal tent Rehoboam reigneth over Judah 
and Benjamin 17 years, and Jeroboam over Israel, or the other ten 
tribes, 22 years. 

The Priests and Leviles, and other Israelites who feared God, stick 
■to Rehoboam, and maintain the kingdom of Judah three years; alter 
which time Rehoboam falls to idolatry, and walketh no more in the 
ways of David and Solomon. 

Jeroboam sacrificing to his calf at Beth-el, a prophet is sent unto 
him from God, who foretells the judgment which should one day be 
executed upon thai altar, and the priests {vis. those whom Jeroboam 
had made of the lowest of the people) that served at it. W Inch pro- 
phecy then and there is confirmed by signs and wonders upon the 
king himself, anil upon tiie altar. 

Snishak king of Egypt spoileth Jerusalem and the temple ; but the 
king and the princes repenting at the preaching of Shemaiuli the 
prophet, God gives them not over to utter destruction. 

Abiiam the BOB pf Rehoboam succeeds bis father in the kingdom 
of Judah, and reigns three years. 

He obtains a great victory over Jeroboam, killeth 500,000 men m 
one battle, and taketh Beth-el. 

Asa in the twentieth year of Jeroboam succeeds his fathor Abiiam, 
and Minns 41 years. 

Nadab in the second year of Asa Buoceedeth his lather Jeroboam 
in the kingdom of Israel, and reigneth not full two veai 

Nadab at the siege of Gibbethon (a townoi the Phili tines) li lain 
by Baasha of the tribe oflsaai hat in the third pear ol Asa ; and the

I newly succeeded 
Ben-hadad in the kingdom of Syria ; .lehoram is dangerously wound- 
ed, ;i.ni\ retires himself to Jezreel to be cured. Jn the meat, time 
Elisha sendeth a young prophet with instructions to anoint Jehu the 
son of Jehoshaphat; the son of Nimshi, at Ramoth-gilead, king over 
Israel, and to open to him the will of God for the rooting out of the 
house of A hah; who, being proclaimed king by the soldiers, march- 
eth straight to Jezreel, killed) Jehoram in the field of Naboth, and 
causeth Jezebel to be cast out at a window, where she is eaten by 
dogs. He despatched) letters also to Samaria, and causeth seventy 
of Ahah's children to be beheaded. Then taking with him Jehona- 
ciab the son of Kechab, he comes himself to Samaria, and destroys 
the whole family ol Ahab, and all the priests of Baal. Neverthe- 
less, having put down the worship of Baal, he departs not from the 
worship ofJevoboarh's golden calves, but maintains that idolatry all 
the lime of his reign, which was 28 vsars. 



In the second year of his reign, and the twenty-seventh of Asa's, 
ZLmri, one of his captains, conspires against him, kills him, and 
reigneth in his stead. As soon as he sits in the throne, he destroy- 
ed) the whole family of Baasha; but the army which then lay be- 
fore Gibbethon makes Omri their king, who presently besiegeth Tir- 
zah, and taketh it; which Zimri seeing, he sets on fire the king's 
palace, and perisheth in the flames. 

The people of Israel are now divided into two factions; one fol- 
lows Tibni the sou of Ginath, and endeavours to make him king; 
the other adheres to Omri ; but Tibni dying, Omri reigns alone in 
the 3 1 st year of Asa. 

Omri having reigned six years in Tirzah, removes the seat of his 
kingdom to Samaria, a place which he himself had built. 

Ahab succeeds his father in the kingdom of Israel, and reigueth 
22 years in Samaria. He did evil in the sight of the Lord above all 
that were before him. 

Jehoshaphat succeedeth his father Asa in the fourth year of Ahab 
king of Israel, and reigueth 25 years ill Jerusalem. 

Jehoshaphat being settled in his kingdom, and having demolished 
the high places and groves, in the third year of his reign he sends 
Levitcs with the princes to instruct the people in the law. God in 
the meantime subdueth his enemies under him. 

Ben-hadad king of Syria layeth siege to Samaria, who by the di- 
rection of a prophet is beaten off, and a vast number of the Syrians 
slain. 

Ahab, not being able to persuade Naboth to sell him his vineyard, 
falls sick upon it; Jezebel his wile, suborning false witnesses to ac- 
cuse him of blasphemy, causeth iN'aboth to ue stoned, and puts die 
king in possession of the vineyard. Whereupon the prophet Elijah 
denounced) judgments against Ahab and Jezebel; wicked Ahab 
repenting, God defers the judgment. 

Ahab in the seventeenth year of the reign of Jehoshaphat maketh 
his son Ahaziah his associate in the government of his kingdom. 

Jehoshaphat also maketh Jehoram his son copartner with him; 
whence it is, that Jehoram the son of' Ahab, who succeeded his bro- 
ther Ahaziah in the kingdom of Israel, in the 18th year of Jehosha- 
phat king of Judah, is said to have begun his reign in the second 
year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat. 

Ahab having got Jehoshaphat to assist him in the siege of Ramoth- 
gilead, before he goes, he asketh counsel of 400 false prophets, who 
promise him victory and success; but by Jehoshaphat's advice Mi- 
caiah, a true prophet of God, is consulted, who foretells his over- 
throw; and according to his word Ahab is slain at Ramoth-gilead, 
and buried at Samaria. 

Ahab being dead, the Moabites revolt from Israel, who had con- 
tinued in subjection ever since king David's days. 

Ahaziah king of Israel, lying ill of a fall, sends to consult Baal- 
zebub the god of Ekron concerning his recovery. Elijah the prophet 
meeteth the messenger, and telleth him Ahaziah shall surely die; 
whereupon two captains over fifty men apiece are sent to apprehend 
him, and bring him before the king; Elijah called) for fire from 
heaven, and desfroyeth both them and their companies. A third 
captain with his fifty men being sent, and behaving himself submis- 
sively, Elijah goes along with him; the prophet certifies the king 
that he shall not come down from his bed alive. So Ahaziah died), 
having governed (partly by himself, and partly together with his 
father; two years. 

Jehoram succeedeth his brother Ahaziah in the kingdom of Israel 
in the latter end of the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, and reiguelh 
twelve years. 

Elijah is taken up into heaven in a fiery chariot. 
Jehoshaphat grown old gives to his sons many gifts with fenced 
cities in Judea ; but his eldest son Jehoram he now more absolutely 
invested) with the throne of the kingdom in the fifth year of Jeho- 
ram king of Israel. 

Jehoram now, by the death of his father, has the kingdom of 
Judah to himself, which he holds four years, lie is no sooner set- 
tled in his throne, but he puts all his brethren to the sword, with 
many of the princes of Israel. At this time the Edomites, who ever 
since king David's time had lived in subjection to Judah, revolt, and 
(as it was foretold by Isaac) they forever shake off his yoke. Libnah 
also, a city of the priests in the tribe of Judah, falls off from him 
about this time. 

Jehoram following the counsel of his wicked wife Athaliah, the 
daughter of Ahab king of Israel, sets up in Judah, and even in Jeru- 
salem itself, the idolatrous worship of Baal, and compels his subjects 
thereto ; a letter which was left for him by Elijah the prophet comes 
to his hands, which reproves him, and denounces all those calami- 
tics and punishments which afterward befell him. 

Ahaziah succeeds his father in the kingdom of Judah Chavinghad 
part of the government bestowed upon him the vear before) in the 
12th year of Jehoram king of Israel, and reigueth one year in Je- 
rusalem. 

Jehoram king of Israel, and Ahaziah king of Judah, lead their 
armies to Ramoth-gilead against Hazael, who hat"

Jehu proceeds farther, and executes the divine vengeance upon 
the idolatrous house of Judah; he pursues Ahaziah, who fled to- 
wards Megiddo, and overtaking him at Gur, causeth him to be killed 
in his chariot. Going also to Samaria, he meeteth with 42 of Aha- 
ziah's kinsmen, whom he causeth to be slain. 

Athaliah the daughter of Ahab, seeing her son Ahaziah dead, 
usurps the kingdom, destroying those that had right to the succes- 
sion ; but Jehosheba the daughter of king Jehoram, and wife to Je- 
hoiada the high priest, takes Jehoash, being then an infant, and son 
to her brother Ahaziah, anil hides him in the temple, and so saves 
him from that massacre which was made of the rest of the blood 
royal. 

Jehoiadathe high priest brings out Jehoash, now seven years old. 
and anoints him king; causeth Athaliah to be slain, and restorelli 
the worship of the true God, destroying the house of Baal, and com 
niaiiding the idolatrous priest IVIattan to be killed before his altars. 
Jehoash, now beginning his reign in the seventh year of Jehu, reign- 
eth 40 years in Jerusalem. 

Jehoash, in the 23d year of his reign, giveth order for the repair 
ol the temple, committing the charge thereof to Jehoiada the hign 
priest. 

Jehoahaz succeedeth his father Jehu in the kingdom of Israel, 
and reigneth 17 years: during all which time Hazael king of Syria 
oppresseth him, and exerciseth all those cruelties upon the Israelites 
which Elisha the prophet had foretold. 

Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, is taken into tho 
consortship of that kingdom by his lather in the 27th year of Je 
hoash king of Judah, and reigneth Hi years. 

Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the high priest, for reproving the 
people of Judah that fall to idolatry after the decease of Jehoiada, 
is stoned to death in the court of the house of the Lord by the com- 
mandment of king Jehoash, who the next year after is murdered by 
some of his servants, as he lay in his bed; and Amaziah his son 
succeedeth him. 

Jehoahaz dieth, and Jehoash his son succeedeth in the kingdom 
of Israel. Not long after his father's funeral he visits Elisha the 
prophet, the)) lying .sick, and with many tears asketh counsel of him, 
who proniiseth him victory over the Syrians. A dead man is brought 
to life by being laid in Elisha's grave. 

Jeroboam the second is this year taken into the consortship of the 
kingdom of Israel by his father Jehoash, going to war against the 
Syrians. This is gathered from Azariah king of Judah's beginning 
his reign in the 27th year of this Jeroboam. 

Amaziah king of Judah, growing proud upon a victory obtained 
against the Edomites this 14th year of his reign, provoketh Jehoash 
king of Israel to battle. Jehoash overcomes him, and fakes him 
prisoner, breaks down 400 cubits of the wall of Jerusalem, and hav*. 
ing spoiled the temple and the king's house of a vast treasure, returns 
to Samaria. 

Jehoash dies fifteen years before Amaziah, and Jeroboam tho 
second, his son, reigneth in Samaria 41 years. 

Amaziah, finding a conspiracy against him at Jerusalem, flies to 
Lachish, where he is murdered ; after whom comes his son Uzziah, 
or Azariah, in the 27th year of Jeroboam the second, and reigneth 
52 years in Jerusalem. 

Now is held the 13th Jubilee under the two most flourishing kings, ■ 
in whose times live sundry great prophets in both kingdoms; Isafah 
and Joel in Judah; Jonas, Ilosea, and Amos, in Israel. 

Jonas of Gath-bepher, a town belonging to the tribe of Zebulou 
in Galilee of the Gentiles, (observe bore tne blindness of the Phari- 
sees, John vii. 52.) was afterward sent into Nineveh, the, metropolis 
of Assyria, where both king and people at his preaching repented. 

Jeroboam king of Israel (under whom that kingdom came to its 
full height of glory) dieth; after his death all things fall into confu- 
sion, and the state is reduced to a plain anarchy, which iasteth II 
years and a half; for such an interregnum or vacancy the synchro 
nism of Kings requires, that the six months of Zachariah the son of 
Jeroboam may answer the 38 years and one month of Shallum, 
who murdered him in the 39th year of Azariah, en- Uzziah, king of 
Judah. 

Zachariah the son of Jeroboam, the 4th and last of the race of 
Jehu (as was foretold) begins his reign over Israel in the 3llth year 
of Azariah, or Uzziah, king of Judah, and reigneth 6 months. 

Shallum the son of Jabesh, at the end of 6 months, murders him 
in the sight of the people, and reigns one month, in the 39th year o( 
Uzziah king of Judah. After Zachariah's death follow those direful 
calamities foretold by Amos the prophet. 

JVlenahem the son of Gadi going from Tirzah to Samaria, killeth 
Shallum, wasted) Tiphsah and the borders thereof; and because the 
town would not open to him, he takes it, and rips up all the women 
with child. 

While Menahem in these broils labours to got the possession of 
the kingdom, Pul king of Assyria invadeth his country, to whom 
Menahem giveth 1000 talents of silver, and afterward reigneth 
quietly 10 years. 

Pekahiah succeedeth his father Menahem in the 50th year of Uz- 
ziah king of Judah, and reigneth 2 years. 

Pekah, one of his captains, kills him in his own palace at Sanw» 
ria, and reigneth 20 years. 

Jothain succeedeth his father Uzziah in the kingdom of Judah at 
the age of 25 years, and reigneth 16 years in Jerusalem. 

Jothain subdues the Ammonites, and makes them tributary for 3 
years. Under him and his two successors the prophets Micah and 
Hosea execute their prophetical office. About this time lived the 
prophet Naluim, and prophesied the destruction of Mneveh. 

Ahaz succeedeth his father Jotham in the 17th year of Pekah kin« 
of Israel, and reigneth 16 years. 

This year Rezin king of Syria and Pekah king of Israel are con- 
federate against Judah, which strikes a great terror into that nation ; 
but unto Ahaz, God, by the prophet Isaiah, senc's a gracious me="

sage, with a promise of deliverance ; for a sign whereof (when the 
incredulous king, being bid lo ask a sign, refused to do it; God gives 
him the promise of Immanuel to be born of a virgin. Rezin and | 
Pekah now lay siege to Jerusalem, and therein to Ahaz, but are 
beaten off; Ahaz is no sooner delivered from his enemies, but he 
forsakes God his deliverer, and falls to idolatry. Wherefore God 
gives him over into the hands of the king of Israel, who slays of the 
men of Judah 120,000 in one day, with a great many of the nobili- 
ty, and carrieth away 200,000 captives ; but these, by the advice of 
the prophet Oded, are released and sent home. 

Hoshea the son of Elah murders Pekah king of Israel, and gets 
the kingdom into his own hands; it is said, in the 20th year of Jo- 
tham, that is, from the time that Jotham first began to reign, which 
is the same with the 4th of Ahaz his son. Hoshea, by reason of the 
tumults and disorders which ensued, cannot be said to have reigned 
till 9years after, tne state continuing all that time in great confusion, 
without any form of government. 

Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, comes up against Hoshea, and 
makes him to serve him, and pay him tribute. 

Hezekiah succeedeth his father Ahaz in the kingdom of Judah : 
he destroyeth idolatry, and prospers : he also celebrates a solemn 
passover, and reigneth 29 years in Jerusalem; his father had made 
him in the last year of his reign, his assistant in the government. 

Hoshea king of Israel, having consulted with So king of Kgypt, 
refuscth to pay tribute to Shalmaneser; provoked hereby, and 
jealous of some farther design in that confederacy of Hoshea with 
the king of Egypt, Shalmaneser layeth siege to . s ainaria, and towards 
the latter end of the third year takcth it, and carrieth away the Is- 
raelites captive into his own country. This was the end of the king- 
dom of Israel, when it had stood divided from the kingdom of Judah 
254 years. 

Sennacherib king of Assviia, coming up against Judah, besiegeth 
their fenced cities, and taketh many of them, but is pacified by a 
tribute. 

About this time Hezekiah falls sick, and is told by Isaiah that he 
shall die; but pouring out his tears and prayers unto God, he recov- 
ereth his health, and obtaineth a prolongation of his life and king- 
dom for 15 years. For a sign whereof the sun goes ten degrees 
backward. 

Sennacherib, not observing the articles of peace, layeth siege to 
Jerusalem, and seodetha blasphemous letter to Hezekiah ; which he 
opening, and spreading before the Lord in the temple with many 
tears, craves assistance from God against the Assyrians. Where- 
upon the prophet Isaiah assures him that God will deliver him, and 
defend that city The self-same night an angel of the Lord slays 
185,000 men in the Assyrian army; and the next morning Senna- 
cherib departeth, and returns to Nineveh; where not long after, 
whilst he is worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, he is slain 
by his own sons. 

Manasseh at 12 years of age succeedeth his father Hezekiah, and 
reigneth 55 years. He setteth up idolatry, and sheddeth much inno- 
cent blood. Wherefore God' delivers him up into the hands of the 
Assyrians, who in the 22d year of his reign carry him away captive 
to Babylon : but upon his repentance God restores him to his liberty 
and kingdom. 

This year Nabuchodonosor king of Assyria, purposing to make 
himself universal monarch, sends Holofernes his general against 
Judea, who layeth siege to Bethulia, and there hath his head taken 
off by Judith, a woman of the tribe of Simeon. 

Amon, aged 22 years, succeedeth his father Manasseh, and reign- 
eth 2 years. An idolater indeed, as his father, but no penitent: he 
is murdered by his own servants. 

Josiah, a child of 8 years old, succeedeth his father Amon, and 
reigneth 31 years. In his time lived Jeremiah and Zephaniah the 
prophets, and Huldah the prophetess. 

In the 12th year of his reign, he begins a reformation in Judah 
and Jerusalem, and carries it on successfully. 

This year he giveth order for the repair of the temple. Hilkiah 
the high priest, having found a book of the lav/, sends it to the king, 
who hears it read all over to him ; and thereupon asketh counsel of 
Huldah the prophetess, who prophesied the destruction of Jerusa- 
lem, but not in his days. Josiah calling to him the elders of Judah 
and Jerusalem, with the pri'-sls and prophets, causcth the book of 
the law to be read over before all the people, and reneweth the cove- 
nant between God and his people : he burnetii also dead men's bones 
upon the altar at Beth-el, as was foretold ; and keepelh a most 
solemn passover. 

At this time a war breaks out between the king of Egypt and the 
king of Assyria. Josiah unadvisedly engageth m this war against 
Necho king of Egypt, and is slain in the valley of Megiddo. The 
good king being thus taken out of the world, whose life only kept off 
the Babylonish captivity from that nation, not only the people then 
living bewailed his death, but even in after time a public mourning 
for him was kept. The prophet Jeremy also in remembrance thereof 
composeth his Lamentations; wherein bewailing the calamities 
which were shortly to befall that people, as present before his eyes, 
in a most compassionate manner he points, as it were with his fin- 
ger, at the death of Josiah as the source and original of all those 
ensuing miseries. 

After the death of Josiah, the people anoint Shallum, one of his 
younger sons, to be their king. After three months reign he is de- 
posed by Pharaoh Necho, who makes Eliakmi, his elder brother, king 
over Judah and Jerusalem, and changes his name into Jehoiakini ; 
but Jehoahaz he carries along with him captive into Egypt, where 
he ends his days. 

Jehoiakini, at 25 years of age, begins to reign, and he reigneth 11 
years. 

Uriah and Jeremiah prophesy against Jerusalem ; the former is 
put to death, the latter is acquitted, and set at liberty. About 'his 
time Habakkuk also prophesieth.

This year is Nebuchadnezzar the great made by his father Nebo- 
polazzar his associate in the kingdom of Assyria and Babylon ; hit 
whose hands God delivers up Jehoiakim, who is put in chains to ba 
carried to Babylon; but upon his submission and promises of obe- 
dience is left in his own house, where he lives a servant to .Nebu- 
chadnezzar 3 years. From which entering of the king and people 
of the Jews into the subjection and service of Nebuchadnezzar are 
the 70 years of the captivity of Babylon to be reckoned, which were 
foretold by the prophet Jeremy. 

Nebuchadnezzar gives order to Ashpenaz, master of the eunuchs, 
that he shall carry from thence of the children of Israel, both of the 
blood royal (as was loretold by the prophet Isaiah lo Hezekiah; and 
alto of the nobility the choicest youths both for beauty and wit that 
he can find; who, being educated 3 years in the language and 
sciences of the Chaldeans, may afterward be fit to serve the king in 
his palace; among whom, of the tribe of Judah, are Daniel, call d 
Belteshazzar ; Hananiah, called Shadrach ; Mishael, called Me- 
shach; and Azariah, called Abed-nego; their names being thus 
changed by the master of the eunuchs. 

Whilst Nebuchadnezzar pursues his victories over the king of 
Egypt, his father dies; which coming to his knowledge, he gives 
order for the bringing away of the captives, and posts with a small 
company the nearest way lo Babylon, where he is received as the 
lawful successor to his father's dominions. He causelh to be brought 
to Babylon what he thinks fit of the vessels and furniture of the tem- 
ple, and placcth them in the house of his god, viz. Belus. 

Jehoiakim, having lived 3 years in subjection to the king of Baby 
Ion, tails off, and rebels against him. 

This year (being the second of .Nebuchadnezzar's reign, taking it 
as it begun at his lather's death,) Daniel recovers Nebuchadnezzar's 
dream, and interprets it to betoken the four chief monarchies; 
whereupon he ami bis companions are highly advanced. 

Nebuchadnezzar sends an army, consisting of Chaldeans, Syrians, 
Moabites, and Ammonites, against Jehoiakim ; these waste the 
whole country of Judea, and cairy away from thence 3023 captives : 
Jehoiakim also is taken prisoner; whom they put to death, cause his 
carcass to be drawn out at the gate of Jerusalem (as was foretold by 
the prophet Jeremiah) and leave it without the walls unburied. 

Jehoiachin (called also Conias and Jeconias) at 18 years of age 
succeeds his father Jehoiakim, and reigns 3 months in Jerusalem. 

Against him .Nebuchadnezzar leads an army, and besiegeth Jeru- 
salem : Jehoiachin with all his kindred and courtiers come out to 
meet him. Nebuchadnezzar makes them all prisoners, enters Jeru- 
salem, and takes all the treasure he can find in the temple and tlie 
king's palace, breaking in pieces all the vessels of gold and furniture 
which Solomon had made for the temple; he carrieth away captive 
to Babylon the king, his mother, *wives, courtiers, magistrates, and 
10,000 able men out of Jerusalem, leaving none behind but the poor- 
er sort of people; and out of the country round about he carried also 
away 8000 artificers ; among the captives are Mordecai, and Ezekiel 
the priest; Ezekiel therefore in his prophecy reckons the time all 
along from the beginning of this captivity. An epistle, said to be 
Jeremiah's, is now sent lo the captives, admonishing them to beware 
of the idolatry which they shall see in Babylon. 

Nebuchadnezzar before his departure from Jerusalem makes Mat- 
taniah, Jehoiachin's father's brother, king, changing his name into 
Zedekiab. 

Zedekiah, beginning his reign at 21 years of age, reigneth 1 1 
years; he, by rebelling against Nebuchadnezzar, or rather by con- 
tinuing in an open rebellion (as his fathers had done} against God, 
brought upon Jerusalem and the whole nation of the Jews tho^e 
long-deserved calamities which God had so often forewarned theui 
of by his prophet* ; for, in the latter end of the Ulh year of Zede- 
kiah, Jerusalem, after a long siege, is taken by Nebuchadnazsar, 
and his Chaldeans enter it. Zedekiah flees away by night, but, be- 
ing pursued, is taken, and brought prisoner to Hiblah, Nebuchad- 
nezzar's head quarters; there having first seen his children slaugh- 
tered before bit eyes, he has afterward those eyes put out, and being 
loaden with chains, is carried away captive to Babylon. About n 
month after lire taking of the city, Ncbuzar-adan, captain of the 
guard, sent bv Nebuchadnezzar, makes his entry into it, sets lire to 
the temple, the king's palace, and some noblemen's houses, andw 

layeth the whole city in ashes; the walls of Jerusalem being rated 
to the ground, all that were left in the city, and those thai a httlo 
before had fallen to the Chaldeans, with what treasure he can fn.d, 
doth .Nehuzar-adan carry with him into Babylon. 

And thus was Judah earned out of her own land 168 years after 
David began n> reign over it, 388 years after the falling off of the nn 
tribes, and 134 years afler the destruction of the kingdom of Israel. 

Obadiah the prophet denounced! God's jiidgnnnls ayainst the 
Edomites, who now insult over the Calamity of the Jew* The same 
do Jeremy and Ezekiel, and the author of the 79lh and 137th Psalms,

father Evil-meroaach, and usurped his throne, succeeds in the king- 
dom of Babylon. In the first year of this king's reign Daniel has 
the vision of the four beasts, signifying the four monarchies of the 
world, and of God delivering over all power and sovereignty to the 
Son of man. 

In the third year of Belshazzar, Daniel receives the vision of the 
ram and he-goat, betokening tlie destruction of the Persian monar- 
chy, and the great misery which Antiochus should bring upon the 
people of God. 

This year Belshazzar makes a great feast for all his nobles, and 
causeth to be brought forth all the vessels of the house of the Lord, 
which Nebuchadnezzar his grandfather had brought away from Je- 
rusalem, to tlie glory of his idols, and dishonour of the true God. In 
the midst of all this jollity a hand appears writing on the wall of the 
room in which the king and his numerous guests sit drinking. The 
king, greatly terrified hereat, sends for his Chaldean astrologers and 
wizards, and commands them to read the writing, and give him the 
interpretation of it ; but they not being able to do either, Daniel is 
sent lor, who reads the writing, and gives the king the interpretation 
of it: whereupon Daniel is publicly proclaimed the third man in the 
kingdom. The same night Belshazzar is slain, Babylon taken by 
Cyrus, and the empire translated to the Medes and Persians, as had 
been sundry times foretold by tlie prophets. 

Cyrus having given the kingdom of Babylon to Darius the Mede, 
reserving some palaces in the city for himself, he returns through 
Media into Persia. 

Daniel's greatness raising envy in some principal courtiers and 
officers, these contrive his ruin : but finding nothing in his manage- 
ment of affairs whereof to accuse him, they resolve to order matters 
so, that Daniel's piety towards God shall become an offence worthy 
of death. They move the king to make a decree, that for 30 days 
no petition shall be made to any god or man, but to himself only. 
Which decree Daniel breaks by making supplication to his God, and 
is for doing so cast into a den of lions: but being found to have re- 
ceived no hurt there, Darius commands the conspirators to be cast 
into the same den, who are presently devoured; and the king pub- 
lished a decree, that all persons throughout his dominions shall 
reverence and fear the God of Daniel. 

Towards the end of the first year of the reign of Darius the Mede, 
to be reckoned from the subversion of the Babylonish empire, be- 
gins the 70th year of the captivity of the Jews, which, by Jeremiah's 
prophecy, was to be the last year of their calamity. Upon conside- 
ration of which time so near at hand, Daniel pours out most fervent 
prayers to God for the remission of his own sins, and those of his 
people ; and for that promised deliverance out of their captivity. To 
whom the angel Gabriel brings an answer not only of this, but also 
of the spiritual deliverance of the church by the death of the Mes- 
siah; uttering that memorable prophecy of the seventy weeks. 

Cyrus, his father Cambyses, and his father-in-law Cyaxares both 
dying, Persia falls to him by inheritance, and Media by contract of 
marriage : and so he is possessed of the whole eastern empire ; from 
which time both Xenophon (Inst. lib. 8.) reckons the 7 years of his 
reign, and the Holy Scripture out of the records of the Medes and 
Persians, reckons this his first year; for it teacheth us, that in this 
year came forth that renowned edict of his, Thus saith Cyrus king 
of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms 
of the earth, and hath charged me to build him a house at Jerusa- 
lem which is in Judah, &c. At which time the 70 years of the Ba- 
bylonish captivity being expired, (as was foretold by Isaiah and Je- 
remiah, tlie former making mention of Cyrus by name) he gives 
leave to all the Jews, dwelling in all parts of his dominions, to re- 
turn into their own country, and commands them immediately to fall 
in hand with rebuilding of the temple. 

He restoreth also all the vessels of the house of God, which Nebu- 
chadnezzar had brought from thence ; and contributes towards the 
building. 

The Jews therefore return into their own country; the poorer sort 
having allowance made them to defray their charges upon the way. 
The number of the children of the province, or Hebrews born in 
Chaldea, which with their captain Zerubbabel, and their high priest 
Jeshua, return out of captivity, is 42,360, besides proselytes, men- 
servants, and maid-servants, to the number of 7,337. Now tlie par- 
ticular sums of Ezra's catalogue being ca«* up amount only to 
29,818; and those in Nehemiah's account make but 31,031, both 
which come far short of that universal sum of 42,360, which at the 
bottom of each catalogue is said to be the number of the whole con- 
gregation. Wherefore the Hebrews in the xxixth chapter of their 
great chronicle tell us, that to complete the full sum 42,360, we must 
cast in those of the other ten tribes of Israel, who came up out of 
the captivity with the Jews. For even till the last extirpation of the 
Jewish state there remained some relics of the other ten tribes, 
not only in the dispersion, and at Jerusalem, and other cities of Ju- 
dah ; but also of those who kept still in their own seats ; for Shalma- 
neser swept not away all out of the whole ten tribes, but left a rem- 
nant of them in their own country, who were afterward, together 
with the Jews, Benjamites, an Levites, carried away by Nebuchad- 
nezzar into Babylon, and are now dismissed and sent back again by 
CyrUs. 

In the 3econd year after their return from Babylon, in the second 
month, they appoint Levites to oversee the work of the house of God, 
and lay the foundation of the temple; the old men lamenting, who 
53 years before had seen the old temple standing, and the younger 
sort rejoicing to See the new one going up. 

The Samaritans, by the means of certain courtiers about Cyrus, 
whom they had bribed for that purpose, disturb the Jews in their 
work of the temple. 

In the beginning of the reign of Artaxerxes (called in profane story 
Cambyses) the Samaritans, who, whilst Cyrus lived, had secretly 
undermined the Jews, now openly frame a direct accusation in wri- 
ting against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem, and present

it to the king, who presently forbids the Jews to proceed in tlie 
building. 

In tlie second year of king Darius Hystaspes (the same with Aha- 
suerus) Zerubbahel and Jeshua, incited by the prophets Haggai and 
Zechariah, set forward the building of the temple. 

Haggai propbesieth that the glory of this second temple shall be 
greater than that of the former ; not as being a more magnificent 
structure, but in regard tlie blessed Messiali shall one day honour it 
with his presence, and from thence propagate peace to all nations. 

About this time Zechariah the prophet exhorteth the Jews to 
repentance. 

Ahasuerus puts away queen Vashti his wife, and not long after 
cspouscth Esther, tlie niece of Mordecai the Jew. 

In tlie sixth year of Darius, or Ahasuerus, the temple is finished; 
the dedication whereof is celebrated with great joy and abundance 
of sacrifices, tlie Priests and Levites, every one in his place, attend- 
ing on the ministry of the temple. The passover also is celebrated. 

Hainan an Agagite, of the race of the Amalekites, a great favour- 
ite of king Ahasuerus, offended at Mordecai, because he falls not 
down and adores him, as others do, resolves to be revenged of the 
whole nation of the Jews, (which was ever averse to his) and to root 
it out ; for the executing of which purpose, that he may find a suc- 
cessful time, he causeth Pur, that is, the lot, to be cast before him, 
for to know the day and month wherein tlie Jews shall be destroyed, 
and the lot falls on the 12th month Adar. 

Hainan obtains an edict from the king, that all Jews, without re- 
spect to sex or age, upon the thirteenth day of the month Adar, be 
put to death in all the provinces of the king's dominions. Hereupon 
Mordecai, Esther, and all tlie Jews, humble themselves before the 
Lord by fasting and prayer. 

Ahasuerus hearing it read in the chronicles, that a conspiracy had 
been discovered to him by Mordecai, comm?.r-.cScth that he be pub- 
licly honoured, and that by Haman himself, his deadly enemy. 

Esther, entertaining the king and Haman at a banquet, maketh 
suit for her own life, and her people's, and accuseth Haman. ' The' 
king, understanding that Hainan had provided a gallows for Morde- 
cai, causeth him to be hanged thereon. In memory of this great 
deliverance the two days of Purim are made festival. 

Ezra the priest, a man skilled in the law of Moses, obtains a 
large commission from king Artaxerxes, to settle the Jewish com- 
monwealth, and to reform tlie church at Jerusalem. 

In the seventh year of Artaxerxes, Ezra, with a great multitude of 
Jews, sets out from Babylon. 

Ezra obligeth those who had taken strangers to wife to send them 
back. 

In the twentieth year of king Artaxerxes, Nehemiah a Jew, one of 
his cup-bearers, being made governor of Judea, obtains leave to 
build the walls of Jerusalem, and finish that great work. Here begin 
Daniel's 70 weeks to be fulfilled before the passion of our Saviour. 

Nehemiah having governed Judea 12 years, returns to the king of 
Persia. 

This year is the 21st Jubilee, the last that ever the prophets of the 
Old Testament saw : for that place in Nehemiah, chap. xii. 22, is 
not to be understood of the last Darius, but of Darius Nothus, who 
now reigns in Persia; the full history of Nehemiah ending with the 
time of Artaxerxes Longimanus father of this Darius Nothus. 

Hitherto (saitli Eusebius in his Chronicle, to the 32d year of Arta- 
xerxes) the Divine Scriptures of the Hebrews contain the annals of 
the times. But those things which were done among them afterward 
we must deliver out of the books of the Maccabees, and out of the 
writings of Josephus, who have delivered a general history of the 
Jewish affairs from thence down to the times of the Romans. 

That Malachi, the last of the prophets, was contemporary with 
Nehemiah, appears from hence, that he nowhere exhorts the people 
to the building of the temple, as Haggai and Zachary did ; but, the 
temple being now built, he reproves those disorders, which Nehemiah 
at his second return with a new commission from Babylon saith he 
found in his absence to have crept in among the Jews; as marriage 
with. strange women, withholding of tithes, and abuses in the wor- 
ship of God. And because a succession of prophets was not to be 
expected, as before, he exhorteth the people constantly to adhere to 
the law of Moses, till Christ the chief Prophet should appear; whose 
forerunner John the Baptist should come in the spirit and power of 
Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto their children, and the 
disobedient to the wisdom of the just. See 1 Mac. iv. 46, and ix. 17. 

ALEXANDER the Great, king of Macedonia, passeth out of 
Europe into Asia, and begins to lay waste the Persian Empire. 

Manasses, brother to Jaddus the high priest, refusing to put away 
his strange wife, is driven from the sacrifice : Sanaballath his father- 
in-law, governor of Samaria, revolteth from Darius, obtains leave of 
Alexander to build a temple on mount Gerizim, and makes Manas- 
ses high priest thereof ; to which resort all such as are entangled in 
unlawful marriage, with all such offenders as think themselves not 
safe at Jerusalem. This was the rise of that schismatical conventi- 
cle of the Samaritans. See John iv. 20. 

Alexander marcheth toward Jerusalem, intending to besiege it. 
Jaddus the high priest, hearing of it, putteth on his priestly orna- 
ments, and accompanied with the people all in white, goeth out to 
meet him. Alexander, seeing his habit, falls prostrate before him, 
saying that, whilst he was in Macedonia, a man appeared unto him 
in the very same habit, who invited him to come into Asia, and pro- 
mised to deliver the Persian Empire into his hands. After this ho 
goes to the temple, and offers sacrifice according to the high priest's 
direction. They shew him the prophecy of Daniel, That a Grecian 
should come and duslroy the Persians ; whereby he is mightily con- 
firmed in his persuasion that he himself is the man. Lastly, he be- 
stoweth on the Jews whatever favours they desire, and departeth. 

The Persians are overcome, Darius slain, and Alexander remains 
universal monarch of the eastern world.

army and dominions are divided among his captains. Anti^onus 
maKes himself governor of Asia, Seleucus of Babylon and the bor- 
dering nations; Lysimachus hath the Hellespont; Cassander, Ma- 
cedon; and Ptoleineus. the son of Lagus, gets Kgvpt. 

Ptolemeus, surnamed Soter, makes himseil" master of Jerusalem by 
a stratagem ; for he enters the city on a sabbath-day under pretence 
of offering sacrifice; and whilst the Jews suspect nothing, but 
spend the day in ease and idleness, he surprised! the city without re- 
sistance, and maketh the citizens captives. He sendeth several 
colonies of Jews into Egypt, and puts great confidence in them. 

Ptoleineus Philadelphus, son of Ptolemeus Soter, being a great 
favourer of learning, builds a most magnificent library at Alexan- 
dria. Demetrius Phalerius, to whom he had committed the care of j 
procuring all sorts of books, and out of all countries, persuades him 
to employ 72 Jews in translating the Holy Scriptures out of the ori- 
ginal Hebrew into the Greek tongue, which was done in the seventh 
year of his reign. The king also dismisseth many captive Jews, and 
dedicates many presents to the temple of God at Jerusalem. 

One Simon, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, governor of the tem- 
ple, falling out with Onias the high priest, goes to Apollonius the 
governor of Celosyria, and informs him that there is a vast treasure 
in the temple : Apollonius acquaints king Seleucus his master with 
it, who presendy sends his treasurer Heliodorus to Jerusalem, to 
bring this money away. Heliodorus entering the temple, is by angels 
struck down in the very place, and carried from thence half dead ; 
but by the prayers of Onias he is soon after reslored to his health. 
Returning to Seleucus that sent him, he magnifies the holiness of die 
temple, and the power of God dwelling in it. 

Antiochus Epiphanes succeeds Seleucus in tne kingdom of Syria, 
and reigneth 11 years, and some months. 

Jason, by corrupting king Antiochus, obtaineth the office of high 
priest. 

Menelaus, brother to Simon the traitor, being employed by Jason 
to carry the money to the king, promiseth 300 talents of silver above 
what Jason had sent, and getteth the priesthood to himself. 

Menelaus, not paying the money he had promised the king at his 
admission, is summoned to appear before Antiochus; lie substituted! 
Lysimachus his brother in his place. 

Antiochus taketh Jerusalem, and sacking it, pillageth the temple, 
destroyeth 40,000 of the inhabitants, and selltth as many more. He 
endeavoureth also to abolish the worship of God, and force th many 
Jews to forsake their religion. The Samaritans now disown their 
relation to the Jews, to whom in prosperity they pretended alliance, 
and consecrate the temple on mount Gerizim to J upiter. 

Perseus, having made war upon>the Romans, is this year over- 
come by them, and the kingdom of the Macedonians ends, when 
from Caranus it had stood 626 years. Nevertheless the relics of 
the Macedonian empire, while that of the Roman was rising, did 
yet survive in the Ptolemies of Eixypt, and the kings of Syria. 

King Antiochus, by a public edict, commands all nations that are 
subject unto him to observe the same way of divine worship, and 
laying aside their peculiar customs, to profess the same religion with 
the Grecians; the punishment of deatli being threatened unto such 
as shall be disobedient ; and he appoints overseers over every people 
and nation who shall compel them hereunto. Of the Jews many 
choose rather to undergo the most cruel torments, than to offer sa- 
crifice unto idols; all which martyrdoms, with those giorious suffer- 
ings of the seven Maccabean brethren, are recorded in the two Books 
of Maccabees. 

Mattathias, a priest, with his five sons, slay those that are sent by 
king Antiochus to compel them to offer abominable sacrifices, and 
after betake themselves to the deseit. They arc followed by many 
others, of whom a great number are stifled in their caves, because 
they would not defend themselves on the sabbath-day. Mattathias 
abolistieth that superstition, and exhorts his sons to assert their pri- 
vileges, and deliver their country from bondage. 

Mattathias dies, and Judas Maccabeus takes upon him the 
management of this affair. I le delivers his country, and purgeth it 
from the abominations which had been committed in it. 

Apollonius, governor of Samaria, having raised an army among 
the Gentiles and Samaritans, fails upon the Jews; but is discomfited 
and slain by Judas Maccabeus. 

. Q er<<ii also, governor of the lower Syria, musters up all the forces 
under his command, and invades Judea; him Judas Maccabeus 
encounters, slays 800 of his men on the place, and puts the rest to 
flight. 

Judas Maccabeus defeats a great army, which Antiochus sent 
against the Jews. Lysias returns with a greater power; Judas kills 
5000 of his men, and caused! him to retreat. He purified; the tem- 
ple, and setteth it in order, after it had lain desolate three years ; 
and buildetb a wall about Sion. 

Antiochus is taken with a violent pain in his bowels, and such a 
rottenness seizeth his flesh, that worms freed in it; he confessed! 
that he is plagued for the wrong done to Jerusalem, and dieth in the 
149th year of the kingdom of the Grecians. His son Antiochus 
Eupator, a child about nine years old, sua eeds him. He makeih 
peace with the Jews, but quickly brcake'u it: he puts to death J 
Menelaus the high priest, and confers that honour upon Alciinus, or || 133 
Jacimus. 

Onias, the son of Onias III. retires into Egypt, where Ptolemeus !| 
Philometor, and Cleopatra his wife, permit him to build a temple at 13 
Heliopolis in imitation of that at Jerusalem, and they constitute him 
high priest there.. 

. Demetrius Soter, the son of Se.eucus, escapes from Rome, and \ 
comes into Syria, where he causelh himself to be crowned king, and j 
putteth to death Antiochus and Lysias. 

Demetrius, at the instance of Alciinus, sends i N caiior with a ureat ! 
army against Judas Maccabeus, whom he endeavours to surprise, j 
1 hey join battle, and Nicanor is slain.

Here ends the ( 
being an abstract ; 
Cyrene. 

King Demetrius sends Bacchides with a new army, consisting ol 
20,000 men, against Judas Maccabeus; Judas, having with him 
but 800 men, ventures to engage him, and is slain. His brolli r 
Jonathan is chosen general in his stead. 

Jonathan enters into an alliance with the Romans. Josephus ob- 
serves, that this was the first league that ever was known to be be- 
tween the Romans and the Jews. 

Whilst Alcimus commands the wall of the inner court of the tem- 
ple to be pulled down, God strikes him suddenly with a palsy, so 
that without speaking a word he dies in great torment. 

Jonathan, having wearied Bacchides by war, compelleth him to 
make a league, and draw off his army. 

Alexander Balas, the son of king Antiochus Epiphanes, enters 
with an army into Syria; the garrison of Ptolemais set open their 
gates to him, by reason of their hatred to king Demetrius; who ure- 
pares himself for war. 

Demetrius desireth an alliance with Jonathan, who makes use ol 
this occasion to repair the fortifications of Jerusalem. 

Alexander Balas is no less careful to obtain the friendship of 
Jonathan, and, to oblige him, confers on him the high priesthood. 

Jonathan puts on the holy vestment on the seventh month of the 
160th year of die kingdom of the Grecians, at the feast of taberna- 
cles. He was the first high priest of the Hasmonean family. 

Demetrius and Alexander come to a batde, and Demetrius is 
slain. 

Alexander Balas, finding himself in the peaceable possession ol 
the kingdom of Syria, espouseth Cleopatra, the daughter of Ptole- 
meus Philometor king of Egypt Alexander highly honours Jona- 
than the high priest at his nuptials. 

Demetrius iVicanor, eldest son of Demetrius Soter, enters into 
Cilicia witli an army. King Alexander Balas gives die command 
of Syria to Apollonius, who sets upon Jonathan the high priest; Ji - 
nathan defeats him, and takes Joppe and Azotus, and burns tl>e 
temple of Dagon. 

Ptolemus Philometor, king of Egypt, conies to the relief of king 
Alexander his son-in-law; Alexander ungratefully sets Ammonius 
to lie in ambush to kill him. The treachery being discovered, Pto- 
lemeus takes away his daughter from Alexander, and inarrielh her 
to Demetrius. Alexander having been driven from Antioch, t e 
inhabitants of that place make offer of the kingdom to Ptolemeus; 
but he refuseth it, and persuadeth them to accept of Demetrius fur 
their king. 

Alexander returns with a great army. Ptolemeus and Demetrius 
unite their forces, and overcome him in a pitched battle ; but Ptole- 
meus dies of the wounds which he received, alter he had seen the 
head of Alexander sent to him by Zabdiel an Arabian prince. Jo- 
nathan besiegetii the citadel at Jerusalem, held by a garrison of Ma- 
cedonians. Complaint hereof being made to Demetrius, Jonathan 
appeaseth him by presents, and obtaineth new favour.-, for the Jews. 
Demetrius incurred! the hatred of his soldiers by abridging their pay 
in time of peace. 

Tryphon, with some soldiers that revolted from Demetrius, under- 
takes to establish Antiochus, the son of Alexander Balas, in die

John Hircanus takes Shechem, and demolisheth the temple on 
mount Gerizim 2D0 years after it had been built by Sanaballat. 

Judas, eldest son of Hircanus, otherwise called Aristobulus, and 
surnamed Philellen, succeeds his father in the government and the 
high priesthood; he was the first of any, that after the return from 
the captivity of Babylon, set a crown upon his head, and changed 
the state into a monarchy. 

Anna the prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, 
this year becoming a widow, departs not from the temple, but serv- 
eth God with fasting and prayer night and day, for 84 years together, 
until such time as she sees Christ in tin' temple. 

Jerusalem is this year taken by Poinpey ; who meddles not with 
any of the treasure which was in the temple, but makes the Jews 
tributary to the Romans. 

Here begins the empire of the Roman Ccsars, when Julius Cesar, 
having overthroion Pompey at the buttle of Pharsalia, was made per- 
petual dictator. 

Herod, the son of Antipas, or Antipater, an Idumean, is this year 
by the Romans declared king of Judea. 

Herod, assisted by Sosius the Roman general, lays siege to Jeru- 
salem, and takes it ; the soldiers fill all corners of the city with blood, 
rapine, and cruelty. Antigonus, the prince and high priest, is by 
Sosius carried away prisoner to Rome, and Herod put in full posses- 
sion of the kingdom. 

About this time Hillel, a Babylonian, descended from David, 
flourished at Jerusalem ; one of whose disciples was Jonathan, the 
son of Uzziel, the famous author of the Chaldee paraphrase. 

Cesar Octavianus, nephew to Julius Cesar, in his fifth consulship, 
with the assent of the senate and people of Rome, assumes the title 
of emperor; at which time the government among the Romans was 
legally changed fiom a republic into a monarchy. The next year 
following he is by the senate surnamed Augustus. 

Herod this year begins to enlarge, or rather to rebuild, the temple 
at Jerusalem, 46 years before the first passover of the ministry of 
Christ, and in nine years and a half finisheth that magnificent 
structure. 

Tire angel Gabriel appears to Zachary the priest, as he is offering 
incense in the temple, telling him that a son shall be Don. unto him, 
whom he shall call John ; who also shall be a Nazarite, and the 
forerunner of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elias. 

in the sixth month after John was conceived, the same angel Ga- 
briel is sent by God to Nazareth in Galilee, to the most blessed Vir- 
gin Mary (espoused to Joseph, a person of the house and lineage of 
David;) the angel declares unto her, that she shall conceive by the 
overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a aon, and call 
his name JESUS. 

John the Baptist born six months before Christ. 

The seventh Age of the World. 

CHRIST our Lord and Saviour in the fulness of time is born of 
the blessed Virgin Mary at Bethlehem, and laid in a manger. 

On the eighth day after his nativity he is circumcised, and named 
JESUS. 

The wise men of the east bring presents to the new-born king of 
the Jews. 

Joseph flees into Egypt with the child Jesus, and Mary his mother. 

Herod commands the infants in and about Bethlehem to be slain. 

Herod dieth, and his son Archelaus is by Cesar made tetrarch of 
Judea: other dominions, which belonged to Herod, are divided 
among his sons. 

Christ, bv God's appointment, is brought back out of Egypt into 
Nazareth 

The first year of the vulgar Christian Era begins here. 

By occasion of the passover our Lord goes up with his parents to 
Jerusalem, and there disputes with the doctoss in the temple. 

Augustus dies, and Tiberius succeeds him. 

Josephus, called Caiaphas is made high priest of the Jews by the 
favour of Valerius Gratus, the Roman governor. 

Towards the end of this year Pontius Pilate is sent to be procura- 
tor of Judea in the place of Valerius Gratus. 

John the Baptist begins to preach and to baptize in the desert of 
Judea, thereby preparing the way of the Lord, and doing his endea- 
vour that Christ coming after him may be made known unto Israel. 
Unto John God gives a sign whereby he may know the Lord's Christ, 
that upon whom he shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on 
him, the same is he which shall baptize with the Holy Ghost. 

Jesus, entering upon the thirtieth year of his age, comes from 
Galilee to Jordan, and is baptized of John ; at which time a most 
illustrious manifestation is made of the blessed Trinity; for the Son 
of God ascending out of the water, and praying, the heavens are 
opened, and the Spirit of God in the shape of a dove descends upon 
him ; and the voice of the Father is heard from heaven, saying, This 
is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

John sees it, and bears record that this is the Son of God. 
Jesus, full of the Holy Ghost, returns from Jordan, and is led by 
the Spirit into the wilderness, where he fasteth forty days and forty 
nights, and is tempted by the devil. 

After this our Lord returns into Galilee. 

John gives testimony to our Saviour passing by him ; Andrew, 
Peter, Philip, and Nathaniel, acknowledge him to be the Messias, 
and become his disciples. 

Christ at a marriage in Cana of Galilee, turneth water into wine ; 
this was his first miracle.

JESUS cometh to Jerusa.ern at the time of the passover, and en- 
tering into the temple, scourgeth out those that bought and sold 
there. The Jews require a sign of his authority : Christ bids them 
destroy that temple, (understanding the temple of his body) and in 
three days he will raise it up. 

Herod the tetravch casteth John the Baptist into prison for repre- 
hending his incest with his brother Philip's wife, and other evils done 
by him. 

Christ discovers himself to the woman of Samaria. 

He goes throughout all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and 
working miracles. 

Matthew called to be a disciple. 



The second passover of Christ's ministry, John v. 1. compared with 
iv. 3, a. from which the second year of the seventieth week of Daniel 
begins. 

JESUS comes up to Jerusalem at the time of the feast, and heals 
on the sabbath-day a man that had an infirmity 38 years, lying 
at the pool of Bethesda. He makes a most divine apology to the 
Jews that sought to kill him, because he said thai God was his 
Father. 

Christ out of the multitude of his disciples chooseth 12, whom 
he calleth Apostles: namely, Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, 
Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, Simon 
called Zelotes, Judas the brother ot James, and Judas IscarioL 
To these our Saviour chiefly directs his discourse in that glorious, 
full, and admirable sermon on the mount. 

Jesus sends his 12 apostles by two and two to preach, and heal 
the sick. 

John the Baptist is beheaded in prison by Herod's command. 

Jesus feeds 5000 men, besides women and children, with five bar- 
ley loaves and two little fishes. He refuses to be made a king. 

The third passover of Christ's ministry, John iv. 4. from which the 
third year of the seventieth week of Daniel begins. 

JESUS is transfigured on the mount; Moses and Elias are seen to 
talk with him ; and a voice from heaven is heard a second time, 
saying, This is my beloved Son ; hear him. 

Christ payeth tribute to Cesar. 

A certain village of the Samaritans refuscth our Saviour enter- 
tainment in his way to Jerusalem : the disciples, desiring to call for 
fire from heaven to consume them, are severely reprehended. 

The seventy disciples are sent out by two and two to work mira- 
cles, and to preach. 

Christ teacheth bis disciples to pray. 

Christ raiseth Lazarus, that had been buried four days. 

Caiaphas, high priest of the Jews, prophesieth concerning the 
death of Christ. 

Zaccheus a publican converted. 

Christ restoreth to blind Bartimeus his sight. 

Mary the sister of Lazarus anoints our Saviour's feet with costly 
spikenard, and wipeth them with the hair of her head. 

Christ rideth in triumph into Jerusalem ; the multitude spread 
their garments in the way, and cry, Hosanna to tlie Son of David. 
Coining near the city he weeps over it, and foretells its destruction. 
He enters the temple, and casteth out those that bought and sold 
there ; and heals the blind and lame. 

He curseth the fruitless fig-tree, and the next morning it is found 
dried up and withered. Thence he takes occasion to shew the 
power of faith. 



The fourth passover, in which Christ our passover was sacrificed, 1 
Cor. v. 7. and so an end is put to all legal sacrifices prefiguring 
this great expiation. The fourth or middle year of Daniel's last 
week begins, Dan. ix. 27. 

ON the first day of unleavened bread, when the passover of tlie 
Jews was to be slain, (April 2.) in the evening, Jesus eateth 
the passover with his disciples, and institutes the sacrament of his 
body and blood in bread and wine. 

Christ washeth his disciples' feet, and exhorteth them to humility 
and charity. 

In the self-same night Christ is betrayed by Judas, mocked, buffet- 
ed, and spit upon, by the soldiers. 

Next day he is condemned by Pilate, and crucified ; the sun during 
the crucifixion is darkened, and the vaie of the temple rent in the 
midst. Christ praying for his enemies gives up the ghost. Joseph of 
Arimathea begs the body, and lays it in a new sepulchre. 

On the third day, the next after the Jewish sabbath, (April 5.) 
Christ riseth from the dead ; his resurrection is declared by angels 
to the women that came to the sepulchre. Christ first appeareth to 
Mary Magdalene, and afterward to his disciples, and dineth with 
them. 

Christ bringeth his apostles to mount Olivet; commandeth them 
to expect in Jerusalem the sending down of the Holy Ghost: sends 
them to teach and baptize all nations, and blesses them ; and while 
they behold, he is taken up, and a cloud receives him out of their 
sight. After his ascension the disciples are warned by two angels to 
depart, and to set their minds upon his second coming; they accord- 
ingly return, and, giving themselves to prayer, choose Matthias to 
be an apostle in the place of Judas. 

On the day of Pentecost (May 24.) the Holy Ghost descendeth on 
the apostles in the form of cloven tongues, like as of fire, and cna- 
bleth them to speak all languages. Peter the same day preachetli 
Christ and the resurrection, and about 3000 believers are added to 
the church. 

Peter by faith in Christ's name healeth a lame man. 

The rulers of the Jews, offended at Peter's sermon, and his mira- 
culous cure of the lame man, cast both him and John into prison; 
upon their examination they boldly avouch the lame man to be 
healed by tlie name of Jesus, and that by the same Jesus we must

be eternally saved. After this the Jews forbid them to speak any 
more in that name ; but the apostles answer, That it is fit they 
should obey God rather than men. They are threatened, and let go. 
Ananias and his wife Sapphira for their hypocrisy are suddenly 
struck dead. 

The apostles are again cast into pr.son by the high priest ; but an 
angel sets tnem at liberty, and bids them preach the gospel to the 
people without fear: being taken again teaching in the temple, they 
are brought before the council ; where by the advice of Gamaliel, a 
Pharisee, and doctor of the law, they are delivered. 

The number of believers increasing at Jerusalem, the apostles or- 
dain seven deacons, who should distribute the alms of the whole 
church to the widows and poorer sort of believers. Stephen, one of 
these deacons, having confounded some that disputed with him, is 
by them falsely accused of blasphemy, and brought before the coun- 
cil, where he reprehends their rebellion, and murdering of Christ 
Whereupon they cast him out of the city, and stone him ; he in the 
meantime praying for them. 

A great persecution of the Church at Jerusalem follows after the 
death of the first Martyr Stephen. 

Philip, one of the seven deacons, preacheth at Samaria, and con- 
verteth many ; worketh miracles, and healeth the sick. Simon the 
sorcerer, seeing the wonders that are done by Philip, believeth, and 
is baptized. 

The apostles at Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the 
faith, send thither Peter and John to confirm and enlarge the 
Church. The apostles by prayer and imposition of hands confer 
the Holy Ghost on all believers. Simon Magus offers them money, 
that he may receive the power of conferring the same, whose impiety 
is sharply reproved by Peter. Having completed their ministry in 
those parts, they return to Jerusalem. 

An angel sendeth Philip to teach and baptize the Ethiopian 
eunuch. 

Saul, a violent persecutor of all that call on the name of Jesus, 
and one who consented to the death of Stephen, goes now towards 
Damascus with commission from the high priest and the council to 
apprehend all Christians in those parts, and to bring them bound to 
Jerusalem; on the way he is miraculously converted by a voice 
from heaven ; and three days after baptized by Ananias at Damas- 
cus, where he preacheth the gospel of Christ with great boldness, to 
the astonishment of those that knew upon what design he was sent 
thither. 

Saul having preached the gospel at Damascus a long time, the 
Jews lay wait to kill him, but he escapeth from thence, and comes 
to Jerusalem ; there he sees Peter, and James the brother of our 
Lord, and abides with them fifteen days. Here he speaks boldly in 
the name of Jesus, and disputes with the Grecians, or rather Jews 
that used the Greek tongue. These also consult how they may kill 
him. 

While Saul prays in the temple, he is in a trance, and the Lord 
appears unto him, and bids him to depart from Jerusalem, because 
they will not receive his testimony ; auding, that he will send him to 
the Gentiles. 

Saul leaving Jerusalem goes to his own country Tarsus, and from 
thence travels into Syria and Cilicia. 

Peter visits the churches of Judea, Galilee, Samaria, &c. At 
Lydda he curelh Eneas of the palsy; and at Joppa restoreth Tabi- 
tha to life. 

At Cesarea, Cornelius, a centurion, by prayers and alms finds 
favour in the sight of God, and is commanded by an angel to send 
for Peter now at Joppa. God by a vision teacheth Peter not to de- 
spise the Gentiles. Peter, being sent for by Cornelius, goes and 
preacheth Christ to him and a great company that were met at his 
house: while Peter preachelh, the Holy (.host falls upon them all ; 
and immediately the apostle baptizcth tbein. 

Peter, at his return to Jerusalem, is accused by those of the cir- 
cumcision for conversing with the Gentiles ; but he declares to them 
his vision, and the whole matter concerning Cornelius; and they 
glorify God for granting to the Gentiles also repentance unto life. 

The believers, who ever since the martyrdom of Stephen . and the 
persecution thereupon ensuing, had been dispersed throughout all 
Phenice and Cyprus, come now to Antioch, and preach the gospel 
to the Greeks there, having before preached to none but the Jews. 
The Church at Jerusalem understanding this, and that the number 
of believers increased exceedingly, sends Barnabas thither to confirm 
them ; he goes to Tarsus, and takes Saul along with him ;.> Antioch, 
where they continue a whole year, converting multitudes to the 
faith. Here the disciples were first called Christians. 

About fhis time James the brother of John is beheaded by the 
command of Herod Agrippa. He also imprisonclh Peter, whom an 
angel delivers upon the prayers of the church. This same Herod, 
not long after, speaking to the people at Cesarea, some of them cry 
out, It is the voice of God, and not of man ■. and immediately an 
angel of the Lord smites him. because lie gave not the glory to God ; 
and he is eaten of worms, and dieth. 

Barnabas and Saul set forward in their preaching of the gospel. 
They plant the Christian faith in Selcucia, Cyprus, and other 
places. At Paphos they preach the gospel to SerglUS Paulus, go- 
vernor of that country : Elymas, a sorcerer, withstanding them, and 
endeavouring to turn away Sergius from the faith, is at Saul's re- 
buke struck blind. From this time Saul is always called by his new 
name Paul; he preacheth at Antioch: the Gentiles believe, but the 
Jews gainsay and blaspheme. Whereupon he and his assistants 
turn to the Centiles, and come to Iconiuin. 

At Iconium they are persecuted and ready to be stoned. From 
hence they fly to Lystia and Derbe, cities ol Lycaonia. At Lystra, 
Paul healing a cripple, the multitude crv out, that the gods are come 
down, and call Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercimus; and would 
have sacrificed to them, had not the apostles with clothes rent run 
in among them, and assured them that ll.ey were men like them-

selves. Soonjifter there come Jews from Antioch and Iconium, 
who excite the people against them. Paul is by the furious multi- 
tude stoned, and drawn out of the city as dead ; but whilst the dis- 
ciples stand about him, he riseth up, and the next day departs with 
Barnabas to Derbe. 

In this year, perhaps at this very time, Paul was caujht up into 
the third heaven, and heard unspeakable words, fourteen years be- 
fore he wrote his second epistle to the Corinthians. 

About this time Timothy, though a child, with his mother Eunice, 
and his grandmother Lois, embrace the Christian faith preached by 
Paul. 

Certain Judaizing Christians come from Judea to Antioch, and 
teacli that the Gentiles ought to be circumcised, and observe the law 
of Moses: these Paul and Barnabas oppose, and a council is held 
by the apostles and others at Jerusalem to determine this contro- 
versy. The decrees of the synod are sent to the churches. 

Paul and Bamalias, thinking to visit the churches together, fall at 
strife, and part asunder; Barnabas and Mark go into Cyprus; Paul 
and Silas into Syria and Cilicia. 

Paul coming to Derbe finds there Timothy, whom (because his 
mother was a believing Jew, though his father a Gentile) he causeth 
to be circumcised, and takes him along with him. He is by a vision 
admonished to go into Macedonia; coming to Philippi, the chief 
city of that part of Macedonia, he converts Lydia : casteth out iTa 
certain maid-servant a spirit of divination, whose master losing a 
considerable gain thereby, brings Paul and Silas before the magis- 
trates; these cause them to be whipped and imprisoned; but at 
midnight, Paul and Silas praying and singii.'c nsalms, the doors of 
the prison fly open, and their bonds are loosed: the jailer, ready to 
kill himself, is converted to the faith, and baptized the same night 
with his whole family. Next day the magistrates come themselves, 
and pray them to depart the city. 

F'rom Philippi Paul takes his journey through Amphipolis and 
Apollonia, and comes to Thessalonica, where he finds a synagogue 
of the Jews; there he preacheth three sabbath-days; some believe, 
others persecute him. Leaving Thessalonica he comes to lierea, 
and soon after arrives at Athens, disputes with the philosophers, and 
declares unto them that UNKNOWN GOD, whom they had igno- 
rantly worshipped. He converts Dionysius the Arcopagite, and 
thence passeth to Corinth. 

Paul at Corinth meets with Acrnila and Priscilla, not long before 
banished Rome by the decree of Claudius. Here he continues a 
year and six months, and thence writes to the Thessalonians. 

Paul is accused by the Jews, and brought before Callio, proconsul 
of Achaia, who refuseth to be judge in a controversy about religion, 
and so drives them away from the judgment- seat. 

Paul departs from Corinth, and passeth to Ephesus, thence he 
sets out towards Jerusalem, that he may be at the feast; he lands at 
Cesarea, goes down to Antioch, and comes into the regions of GaTa- 
tiaand Phrygia, confirming the disciples in all those places. 

Paul returns to Ephesus, disputes daily in the school of Tyrannus, 
and continues preaching there, and the parts thereabout. 

He writes his epistle to the Calatians. 

At Ephesus, Demetrios a silversmith, jealous of his gain, raised) 
a tumult against Paul, which is appeased by the town-clerk. 

About this time a schism ariseth in the church at Corinth, which 
causeth Paul (now in or about Ephesus) to write his first epistle to 
the Corinthians. 

Paul departs from Ephesus, and comes into Macedonia, and 
gathers a contribution for the relief of the saints at Jerusalem. 

The apostle, having learnt from Titus the success of bis first, 
writes now his second epistle to the Corinthians. Out of Macedonia 
he goes into Greece, and comes to Corinth, where he writes his epis- 
tle to the Romans. 

Paul purposing to go directly from thence into Syria, that he inn? 
carry the collections to Jerusalem, the Jews lay wait for him; he 
understanding this, thinks it best to return into Macedonia (lie same 
way he came, and thence to pass into Asia. 

After the days of unleavened bread Paul sails from Philippi, and 
comes to Troas; there he restores Eutychus to life. Having passed 
through several cities of Greece, he arrives at Miletus; from thi me 
he sends to call the elders of the Church of Ephesus, whom lie ear- 
nestly exhorts to the performance of their duty. 

Paul comes to Jerusalem, is apprehended in the temple, and se- 
cured in the castle ; he claimeth the privilege of a Roman, and 
escapeth scourging. 

Paul pleadeth his cause before Ananias the high priest. The chief 
captain, understanding that above forty Jews had hound themselves 
under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they had lulled bim, Mild* 
him to Felix the governor of the province, by whom he is imprisoned 
nt f'essren. 

Paul is accused before Felix by Tertullus the orator : Felix jgoei 

out of his office, and, to gratify the Jews, haves Paul in prison. 
Porcius Festus succeeds him in the government 

The Jews come to Cesarea, and a Paul before Festu He

A CHRONOLOGICAL INDEX OF THE YEARS AND TIMES 

FROM ADAM UNTO CHRIST, PROVED BY THE SCRIPTURES, FROM THE COLLATION OF DIVERS AUTHORS. 



The sum of the years of the first age. 
FROM Adam unto Noah's flood are years 1656. 
For when Adam was 150 years old he begat Seth. 
Seth, being 105 years, begat Enos. 
Enos, being 90 years, begat Cainan. 
Cainan, being 70 years, begat Mahalaleel. 
Mahalaleel, being 65 years, begat Jared. 
Jared, at the age of 162, begat Enoch. 
Enoch, being 65 years, begat Methuselah. 
Methuselah, at the age of 187, begat Lamech. 
Lamech, being 182 years, begat Noah. 
Noah, at the coming of the flood, was 600 years old, as ap- 
peareth in the 7th chapter oi Genesis. 

The whole sum of the years are 1656. 

From the flood of Noah unto Abraham's departing from 

Chaldea, were 422 years and ten days. 
For the said flood continued one whole year and ten days. 
Shem, (who was Noah's son) begat Arphaxad two years 

after that. 
Arphaxad begat Salah when he was 35 years old. 
Salah, being 30 years old, begat Eber. 
Eber, at the age of 34, begat Peleg. 
Pe!eg, being 30 years, begat Reu. 
Reu, being 32 years, begat Serug. 
Serug, being 30 years, begat Nahor. 
Nahor, being 29 years, begat Terah. 
Terah, being 130 years, begat Abram. 
And Abraham departed from Chaldea when he was 70 

years old. 

These, accounted, are 422 years and 10 days. 

From Abraham's departing from Ur in Chaldea unto the 
departing of the children of Israel, are 430 years, ga- 
thered as fnlloweth : 

Abraham was in Charran five years, and departed in the 
75th year: 

Begat Isaac when 100 years old, in the 25th year of his 
departing. 

Isaac begat Jacob, when 60 years old. 

Israel was in Egypt 220 years. 

Then deduct 80 years from this ;. for so old was Moses 
when he conducted the Israelites from Egypt. 

So the rest of the years, that is to say, 130 are divided be- 
tween Amram and Kohath. 



Then Kohath begat Amram at the age of 67 years. 
Amram being 65 years, begat Moses, who, in the 80th year 

of his age, departed with the Israelites from Eg3'pt. 
So this chronology is the 430 years mentioned in the 

12th chapter of Exodus, and the third chapter to the 

Galatians. 

From the going forth of the Israelites from Egypt, unto the 

first building of the temple, are 480 years, after this 

chronology and account. 
Moses remained in the desert or wilderness 40 years. 
Joshua and Othniel ruled 40 years. 
Ehud, 80 years. 
Deborah, 40 years. 
Gideon, 40 years. 
Abimelech, 3 years. 
Tola, 23 years. 
Jair, 22 years. 
Then they were without a captain, until the 18th year of 

Jephthah. 
Jephthah, 6 years. 
Ibzan, 7 years. 
Elon, 10 years. 
Abdon, 8 years. 
Samson, 20 years. 
Eli, judge and priest, 44 years. 
Samuel and Saul reigned 40 years. 
David was king 40 years. 
Solomon in the 4th year of his reign, began the building of 

the temple. 

These are the 480 years mentioned in the first book of 
Kings, chap. vi. 

From the first building of the temple, unto the captivity of 

Babylon, are 419 years and a naif. 
Solomon reigned yet 36 years. 
Rehoboar.i, 17 years. 
Abijam, 3 years. 
Asa, 41 years. 
Jehoshaphat, 25 years. 
Jehoiam, 8 yea^s. 
Ahaziah, 1 year. 
Athaliah, the queen, 7 years. 
Jehoash, 40 years. . 

Amaziah, 29 years. 

760 



Uzziah, 52 years. 

Jehoahaz, 16 years. 

Ahaz, 16 years. 

Hezekiah, 29 years. 

Manasseh, 55 years. 

Anion, 2 years. 

Josiah, 31 years. 

Jehoahaz, 3 months. 

Eliakim, 11 years. 

Jehoiachhf', Jechonias, 3 months. 

And here beghineth the captivity of Babylon. 

The sum of these years is 419 and 6 months. 

Jerusalem was re-edified, and built again after the cap- 
tivity of Babylon, 70 years. 

The captivity continued 70 years. 

The children of Israel were delivered the first year of 
Cyrus. 

The temple was begun to be built in the second year of the 
said Cyrus, and finished in the 46th year, which was the 
6th year of Darius. After that Darius had reigned 20 
years, Nehemiah was restored to liberty, and went to 
bui)d the city, which was finished in the 32d year of the 
said Darius. 

All the years from the building of the temple again, are 26 
years. 
The whole sum of years amount to 70. 

From the re-edifying of the city, unto the ccming cf Christ, 
are 483 years after this chronology. 

It is mentioned in the ninth chapter of Daniel, that Jeru- 
salem should be built up again, and that from that time, 
unto the coming of Christ, are 69 weeks, and every week 
is reckoned for 7 years. So 69 weeks amount to 483 
years ; for, from the 32d year of Darius, unto the 42d 
year of Augustus, in which year our Saviour Christ was 
born, are j' stand complete so many years; whereupon we 
reckon, that from Adam unto Christ, are 3974 years, six 
months, and ten days; and from the birth of Christ, 
unto this present year, is 1820. 

Then the whole sum' and number of years, from the begin- 
ning of the world unto this present year of our Lord 
God 1820, are 5794 years, six months, and the said odd 
ten days. 



TABLES OF SCRIPTURE MEASURES, WEIGHTS, AND COINS: 

WITH AN APPENDIX, 

CONTAINING THE METHOD OF CALCULATING ITS MEASURES OF SURFACE, HITHERTO WANTING IN TREATISES ON THIS SUBJECT. 

By the Right Reverend Richard Lord Bishop of Peterborough. 



A MEASURE is a known quantity applied to another of the same kind that is less 
known, to make its dimensions better known, by help of numbers expressing the 
proportion that the known quantity bears to the unknown. The dimensions to be mea- 
sured are three : I. Mere length, which hath but one dimension. 2. Surface, which con- 
sists of length multiplied into breadth; so it hath two dimensions, as it were interwo- 
ven ; and this is always measured by some square surface already known, as by a square 
loot, or a square cubit, or any other square already known, by help of its side. Moses 
generally useth the square cubit. 3. Solidity or Capacity, which hath three dimensions 
multiplied into each other: length, breadth, and height, or depth. This is measured by 
a known cube. From solidity ariseth weight in all sublunary bodies : and by weight 
we measure the value of coins. Therefore I shall join weights and coins together in the 
fotirth table.

Miles, and 580 Feet. 



II. TABLE. Measures of Surface. 
Moses hath described these by square Cubits. I here express them reduced to our 
square Feet. The method of this reduction is taught in an Appendix. I first propose 
three clear examples given by Moses ; Secondly, I place six instances of greater 
difficulty. 

The clearest examples are, 

I. The Altar of Incense. Only two sides of it, viz. its length and breadth, are ex- 
pressed by Moses; each of them is affirmed to be one Cubit. Vel lie declares it was four- 
square : whence we collect, that it was just one square Cubit. See Exod. xxx. 2. Now 
it is demonstrated in the Appendix, that one Jewish square Cubit amounts to in surface 
three English square Feet, and about 47 square Inches. 

II. The Table of Shew-bread, Exod. xxv. 2.5. It is affirmed to be two Cubits in length, 
and one in breadth. None doubt but it was rectangular, containing two Jewish square 
Cubits. These amount to above six English square Feet, and above half, via. 94 square 
Inches. 

III. The Boards of the Tabernacle, each 10 Cubits in length, and one and a half in 
breadth, Exod. xxvi. 16. being rectangular, must contain 15 square Cubits, Jewish. 
These are proved to contain very near 50 square Feet of English Measure. 

The more difficult cases reserved to the Appendix arc, 

J. The Mercy-seat, whose surface is = 12 square Feet and a half. 

1/. A general method is taught of reducing any given number of Jewish Cubits to 
English square Feet. 

HI. The example of the 15 square Cubits in the Boards of the Tabernacle is made 
clc?ircr 

IV*. The Court of the Tabernacle, described Exod. xxvii. 18. is found to be just half 
the Egyptian Aroura, and to contain 1 Rood, 21 Perches, 27 square r'eet, &c. 

V. The whole Arovra is determined, and reduced to our English Measures, 3 Roods, 
2 Perches, 55 square Feet. 

VI. The suburbs, or Glebe Land, given to each city of the Levites, JVvmb. xxxv. 3, 4, 
5.. is shewed to be a square, on each of the four sides of every city, containing a million 
of Jewish square Cubits, or 100 Arourm; which amount to in each Square 76 Acres, 1 
Rood, 20 Perches, SO square Feet. Whence we collect, that all the four Squares 
amounted to 305 Acres, 2 Roods, 1 Perch, besides 51 Feet square.

An APPENDIX to the Second Table of Measures of Surface described by Mnscs, shewing 
the Method of reducing them by Calculation to the Measures used in England, Jo* ilu 
benefit of those that understand Decimal Arithmetic, and desire to try the Seduction 

given in the Table, or to make further Improvements in this kind of .1/. 

• Tht f Si I AM. begin with Reduction of the Measures of the Mercy Seat, which wbi 
Men y JL Cod's Throne of Grace among the Jews. Moses in Exod. xxv. 17. affirms, 
Seat, that its length was two t "nl>it- ;in<l a half, its breadth one Cubit and a half! The 
fractions adhering to its length and breadth make some difficult; to begi irs in Arith- 
metic, which die Decimal way doth much abate. Supposing therefore, what I have else- 
where proved, that the Jewish cubil was in Fool measure 1 824; the length most i«e»- 

.1 hi Foot measure, and Decimals thereof, 4.560. The breadth in like measure 
will be 2.736. Wherefore the product of these numbers multiplied into eat h other gives 

iis surf 12.47,616: in Dumber oi its square Feet, and Decimals thereof, IS :• 

Feet, and very near half a square loot; if the Decimals had been .60, u had been Just 
half a Foot. If we desire to express those Decimals of a Fool in square Inches, asis 
usual in England, vie must multiply .47,616 by 144, the squaw incnos of a Foot, 
the product will be C8.S6.704 ; which shews that the Decimals we found amount to 68 

e Inches, and about half an Inch more : we need not be nicer.

mah of one square Cubit, and the product will be 49.90,464, and that is very near to fifty 
square Feet ; for those Decimals amount to above 130 square Inches ; and little more than 
13 square Inches would make it just 50 Feet, which abatement we need not here regard. 

4. The Court 4. Let us now go to the measure of the surface of land. But we will 
cftTu Taberna- begin with the Court of the Tabernacle, the ground on which the Priests 
cl.e. performed all the solemn public worship of Israel in Moses's time. The 

Area of this Court is described by Moses, Exod. xxv. 18. by its length 100 Cubits, and 
its breadth every where SO Cubits. Wherefore this Area must be in Jewish measure 5000 
square Cubits, for that is the product of 100 multiplied into 50. To reduce these 5000 
Jewish Cubits into English square Feet, I must multiply 5000 into 3.326,976, the pro- 
duct is 16,634.88 English square Feet. 

But in cases of such long numbers of Feet we use for brevity's sake, and to help our 
memories, to reduce them into Perches, or Boods, or Acres, which contain known num- 
bers of square Feet. A Perch contains 272 square Feet and 1-4. A Bood is = to 10,890 
square Feet. An Acre is = to 43,560 square Feet. It is plain that the number 16,634.88 
hath not integers equal to those of an Acre ; but it hath enough to answer those in a 
Rood, and some overplus; therefore I must divide 16,634.88 by 10,890, which is a Rood. 
By such division continued in the Decimal way, until I have a fraction of five or six 
places, which is exact enough, I find the quote to be ] .527,537, which assures me that my 
number 16,634.88 hath but once entirely 'in it a whole Bood : but it hath moreover in it 
many Decimal parts of a Rood. These therefore I reduce to the Perches contained in 
them, by multiplying them into 40, which is the number of Perches that make up a Rood ; 
and cutting off six places from the product, which is 21.101,480 ; so I find there are 21 
Perches entire, and the figures after the Separatrix are Decimals of a Perch. These also 
I multiply by 272.25, which are the square Feet and Decimals of a Perch. The product 
of this last multiplication, after eight places cut off from it by the Separatrix, because 
there were six places of Decimals in one of the multipliers, and two in the other, is 
27.62,793,000. Hence I learn that there are therein but 27 entire Feet, all the eight 
Decimal places amount to little above half a foot, and therefore I cast them away as in- 
considerable in the measure of land. This method of reduction by multiplication of 
Decimals I find to be easier than the common way of reduction by division, and there' 
fore I propose it to be used by beginners in this practice of surveying. So I find this 
court to contain in English measure 1 Bood, 21 Perches, 27 Feet, and little more than 
half a foot squared. But reflecting upon Moses's measure by Cubits, and finding them to 
be precisely 5000 square Cubits, I observed that they were just half 10,000, which I had 
observed from Herodoius's Euterpe to be the Area of the Egyptian Aroura, by which 
their land was as generally measured, as ours is by Acres and Boods. See Herodot. 1. 
2. c. 168. I called also .o mind a passage in Manetho an Egyptian Priest, cited by 
Josephus in his first book against Apion, where he affirms, that Manetho in his history 
Of the reign, wars, and expulsion, of the Pastors (whom Africanus affirms to be Phoe- 
nicians, or Canaanites, and Josephus vainly believed to be Jews,) wrote out of the public 
Records of Egypt, that these Pastors made at Abaris a very large and strong encamp- 
ment, that encompassed 10,000 Arource, sufficient to contain 240,000 men, and long to 
maintain their cattle. Hence it appears, that not only the Egyptians, but the Phoeni- 
cians or Canaanites also, that had dwelt among them, and had reigned there during the 
time of six kings successively, used this measure of land called Aroura. Now this was 
long before Moses's time ; for the beginning of Amosis or Teihmosis, who expelled them 
out of Egypt, was very near the time of Abraham's death, as appears by the annals of 
the learned Primate of Ireland. Wherefore I believe that Moses, who was skilled in all 
Egyptian learning, especially surveying, did of choice make the Court of the Tabernacle 
to be just half an Aroura, which was a known measure to him and his people, who had 
long dwelt in Egypt, and Divine Authority directed him so to do. 

The Reduction of 5. Because we have shewn from Herodotus, that an Aroura is the 
en Aroura to English square of 100 Jewish or Egyptian Cubits, and 100 such Cubits may 
measwes. m English Foot measure be expressed by 182.4 English Feet, it fol- 

lows, that the square of this number will express exactly the number of the English square 
Feet tliat are contained in an Aroura. Now by multiplication of 182.4 into itself, I 
find-the product to be 33,269.76 : Therefore I conclude that there are 33,269 square Feet 
entire, and .76 Decimals of a square Foot, in an Aroura. Now to reduce these English 
square Feet into Boods, Perches, and the remainder of square Feet, I use the method 
used in the last paragraph : First, I divide them by 10,890, the square Feet in a Rood ; 
and the quote I find 3.055,074, that is 8 Boods, and .055,074 Decimals of a Rood. Se- 
condly, I multiply those Decimals by 40, which is the number of Perches in a Bood, the 
product is 2.202,960. Hence I conclude there are therein two Perches, and .202,960 



Decimals of a Perch. Thirdly, I multiply these last Decimals by 272.25, which are tne 
square Feet of a Perch. The product is 55.25,586,000, that is 55 entire square Feet ; the 
eight places of Decimals amount to little above 1-4 of a square Foot, therefore I reject 
them as inconsiderable in measure of land. By all these reductions it is found, that on 
Aroura is in English measure three Boods, two Perches, 55 1-4 square Feet. Hence it 
follows also, that it is not well translated by Jvgerum, for it is much larger; nor is it 
well in English called an Acre, for it is considerably less. To this place I refer the use 
of the lesser sort of xoivoj, which yet is most convenient for the use of the Egyptians, 
and of the Jews, to measure out private men's inheritances by a line which was SO Cubits 
long. For the length of this line will measure one side of an Aroura, if the other side 
be 125 Cubits long, which is the length of this line, and its half, and 5 Cubits above half 
of it, which they might easily mark on it by a knot or a ring. And by this means they 
might easily lay any number of Arource together, all of them rectangular and parallel to 
each other. Such lines I suppose for measure of inheritances are intimated, Psalm lxxviii 
55. and xvi. 6, &c. 

6. I shall conclude with an example amounting after reduction to a number 6. The 
of English Acres, which measure we have not yet reached to. This I take Lcvites' 
from JYumb. xxxv. 3, 4, 5, verses. There Moses describes what measure of OUbe. 
land the Leviies were to be allowed for their cattle, their goods, and all their beasts, on 
the north, east, south, and west sides of each of their cities. So that the city was to be 
in the midst of the land belonging to it. This land in our translation is called suburbs, 
because of its nearness to all their cities. But we must not thence imagine that it means 
houses and streets adjoining to their cities, in which sense we sometimes use the word 
suburbs. For Moses plainly tells us they were places for their several sorts of cattle to 
feed in, such as might also be orchards or gardens for fruits, or perhaps for a little com, 
comprehended in the words, their goods. These fields he limits by 1000 Cubits, which 
was just a quarter of an eastern mile, but amounts in mere length to 608 yards English 
measure, and therefore exceeds a quarter of an English mile by 168 yards in leneth. 
But it is certain that cattle cannot feed upon mere length, but this must signify the side 
of some surface of land bounded thereby, and we must have two sides of that surface 
given, before we can find the Area, or surface contained. Therefore Moses, ver. 5. tells 
us, that on each side of each city they must measure 2000 Cubits, which will determine 
no surface, unless we understand it to mean the two sides of a square, bounded on every 
side by 1000 Cubits ; these two sides multiplied into each other will produce a square that 
contains just a million of square Cubits, and that is a known and exact measure of just 
100 Aroura: : and this shews that the 2000 Cubits mentioned ver. 5. are the two sides of 
that square, whereof the 1000 mentioned ver. 4. is one, and may be called the root of 
the square. This shews the agreement of the two different numbers. The reduction of 
this million of square Cubits will be performed by the same method that I have used be- 
fore. Therefore, first, I express 1000 Jewish Cubits by 1824 English Feet, w-ifhout any 
Separatrix, according to the principles owned in Decimal Arithmetic ; and the square of 
that number will be 3 326,976, without a Separatrix. Secondly, I divide this number by 
43,560, which are the square Feet of an Acre, and find the quote to be 76.376,859, which 
signify 76 entire Acres, and .376,859 Decimals of an Acre. Thirdly, to find what Roods 
are contained in these Decimals, I multiply them by four, the number of Roods in an 
Acre, and find the quote to be 1.507,436, which proves that there is but one Rood in them, 
and the six figures cut off by the Separatrix (because there were six Decimals in one of 
the multipliers) are all Decimals of a Rood. Fourthly, therefore, to find what Perches 
are in these last Decimals, I multiply them by 40, which is the number of Perches con- 
tained in a Rood. The product is 20.297,440 ; hereby I find there are 20 entire Perches, 
besides the Decimals of a Perch placed after the Separatrix. Fifthly, to find what square 
Feet are in those last Decimals, I multiply them by 272.25, which are the square Feet 
and Decimals in a Perch, the product is 80.97,804, which is 80 square Feet, and all the 
Decimals not amounting to a square Foot, I reject as inconsiderable in measure of land. 
Thus we have found that this and every other square on each side of every Levitical City, 
was prescribed to be 76 Acres, 1 Bood, 20 Perches, 80 square Feet in our measure, but 
was just a million of square cubits in their measure. 

To add the four squares belonging to one Levitical City together, the best way will be 
to take the first quote that we found in Acre measure, viz. 76.376,859, and we must mul- 
tiply it by four, and we shall find, by the method I have used, all the four squares together 
to amount to 305 Acres, 2 Roods, 1 Perch ; we need not take notice of any lesser quanti- 
ties in this case. We may also by this method find the sum of the Acres belonging to all 
the 48 cities of the Levites, and many other improvements in this kind of measuring sur- 
faces. But I leave them to the industry of others.

JUDEA, PALESTINE, OR THE HOLY LAND. 



PALESTINE is bounded on the north, by Mount Libanus, or Lebanon, which sepa- 
rates it from that part of Syria, anciently called Phoenicia ; on the east by Mount 
"Hermon, which divides it from Arabia Deserta ; on the south by Arabia Petrea ; and on 
the west by the Mediterranean Sea, or sea of Syria. 

This country received the name of Palestine from the Philistines, who dwelt on the 
sea-coast : it was called Judea, from Judah : and it is termed the Holy Land, being the 
country where Jesus Christ was born, preached his holy doctrines, confirmed them by 
miracles, and laid down his life for mankind. Palestine is about one hundred and eighty- 
five miles in length, and generally eighty in breadth; it is situated between 31° and 33° 40' 
north latitude. 

The climate of Palestine is, during a great part of the year, very hot. The easterly 
winds are usually dry, though they are sometimes tempestuous ; and those which are 
westerly, are attended with rain. The heat here might be expected to be excessive; yet 
Mount Libanus, from its uncommon height, is covered all the winter with snow. 

The first rains, as they are called, generally fall about the beginning of November; 
and the latter rains, in the month of April. In the country round Jerusalem, if a mode- 
rate quantity of snow falls in the beginning of February, and the brooks soon after over- 
flow their banks, it is thought to forebode a fruitful year; and the inhabitants make re- 
joicings upon this occasion, as the Egyptians do with respect to the Nile : this country is 
seldom refreshed with rain during the summer season. 

The rocks of Judea are, in many places, covered with a soft chalky substance, in 
which is enclosed a great variety of shells and corals. The greatest part of the moun- 
tains of Carmel, and those of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, are overspread with a white 
chalky stratum. In mountCarmel, are gathered many stones, which, being in the form of 
olives, melons, peaches, and other fruit, are imposed upon pilgrims, not only as those 
fruits petrified, but as antidotes against several diseases. 

With respect to the rivers of the country, the Jordan, called by the Arabs Sceriah, is 
not only the most considerable, but, next to the Nile, is the largest, either in the Levant 
or in Barbary. It has its source at the bottom of Mount Libanus or Lebanon, and is 
formed from the waters of two fountains, which are about a mile distant from each 
other. One of them lies to the east, and is called Jor; the other, which is exposed to 
the south, is named Dan. The confluence of the two streams is found near the ancient 
city of Cesarea Philippi, which is at present only a village, and called Beline. The river 
takes a course between the E. and S. and after running seven miles, falls into the lake 
Samochon or Mathon, at present called Huletpanias, about six miles in length, from 
north to south, and nearly four in breadth, from east to west. The Jordan issues from 
this lake, and flows through a great plain, passing under a stone bridge called Jacob's 
Bridge, consisting of three arches, well constructed. The river then continues its course 
as far as the lake of Tiberias, near the ancient cities of Chorazin and Capernaum, where 
it mixes with its waters. When it issues from this lake, which is about eighteen miles in 
length, and eight in breadth, it takes the name of Jordan Major, dividing Perea from Sa- 
maria, the plains of the Moabites from Judea, and receiving the waters of the Dibon, 
the Jazer, the Jacob, and the Carith; after being augmented by these streams, in a 
course of sixty-five miles from the lake of Tiberias, or sea of Galilee, it discharges itself 
into the Dead Sea. The Jordan, in the rainy seasons, overflows its banks, to the distance 
of more than four miles; and on account of the inequality of the ground, forms two or 
three channels. Tts current is extremely rapid, and the water always muddy : but when 
taken from the river, and put into any kind of vessel, it very soon clarifies, and is sweet. 
The Dead Sea is a name of modern date; the ancients called it the lake of Asphal- 
tites, the sea of Sodom, the Salt Sea, the lake of Sirbon; the Arabs name it Bahherct- 
Lut: that is, the sea of Lot. It is about fifty miles in length, and ten in breadth. The 
lofty mountains of the country of the Moabites are on the eastern side, and discharge 
into it the waters of Arnon and the Jaret. On the west and south it is bounded by very 
high mountains also. It is likewise on the west that the brook Cedron, which rises at 
Jerusalem, empties into this sea. 

We are informed that this Vast lake was covered formerly with fruit-trees and abun- 
dant crops, and that from the bosom of the earth, now buried under its waters, arose the 
superb cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Segor. No plants of any kind 
grow in this lake. The bottom of it is black, thick, and foetid, ['.ranches of trees, 
which fall therein, become petrified in a little time. The Dead Sea produces a kind of 
bitumen, which may be found floating on the surface, like large lumps of earth. This 
bitumen is a sulphurous substance, mixed with salt; it is as brittle as black pitch, is 
combustible, and exhales, while burning, a strong and penetrating smell. The ancient 
Arabs used it for smearing and embalming their dead, to preserve them from perishing. 
The mountains near this sea produce a kind of black stone, which, when polished, has a 
beautiful lustre. 

Acra, or Acre, (now called St. John de Acre, and which the Arabs call Accho, or Ak- 
ka,) is one of the places from which the Israelites could not expel the ancient Canaanites, 
and was formerly reckoned among the ancient cities of Phoenicia. It is aiso known by 
the name of Ptolemais. The situation is advantageous; on the north and east, it is en- 
compassed by a fertile plain; on the west it is washed by the Mediterranean; and on 
the south by a large bay, which extends from the city as far as Mount Carmel. It con- 
tains little more than a few cottages, and heaps of ruins. The residence of the bashaw 
of the province is at this place. 

To the south of Acre, is Sebasta, the ancient Samaria, the capital of the ten tribes after 
their revolt from the house of David. It is seated on a long mount, which rises in a 
fruitful valley, and is now converted into gardens. 

A little farther to the south is Naplosa, the ancient Syehem, which stands in a narrow 
valley, between Mount Ebal on the north, and Gerizim on the south. At a small dis- 

b E 



tance from Naplosa, is Jacob's well, famous for Christ's conference with the woman of 
Samaria. 

Jerusalem is encompassed with hills, so that the city seems as if situated in an amphi- 
theatre : there are few remains of the city, as it appeared in Christ's time; the situation 
being changed ; for Mount Sion, the highest part of ancient Jerusalem, is almost ex- 
cluded : while the places adjoining to Mount Calvary, are nearly in the centre. This 
city, which is about three miles in circumference, is situated on a rocky mountain, on all 
sides of which are steep ascents, except towards the north. The walls are not strong, 
nor have they any bastions. The city has six gates. There are supposed to be about 
twelve or fourteen thousand inhabitants in Jerusalem. 

Jasa, the ancient Joppa, is the port where the pilgrims disembark. They generally 
arrive in November, and repair without dela5 r to Jerusalem. 

Bethlehem, also called Ephrata, and the city of David, is famous for being the birth- 
place of Christ. It is about two miles to the S. E. of Jerusalem, on the ridge of a hill; 
at present only an inconsiderable place. 

Balia, the ancient Jericho, is eighteen miles N. E. of Jerusalem, situated in a plain 
six or seven leagues long, by three wide, surrounded by a number of barren mountains. 

Habrpun, or Hebron, is twenty-four miles S. of Bethlehem. The Arabs call it El- 
Kahil, the well-beloved. It is situated at the foot of an eminence, on which are some 
remains of an ancient castle. 

Nazareth, now only a small village, is on the top of a high hill. 

Cana of Galilee, otherwise called Cana Minor, celebrated for the miracle wrought by 
Christ, of changing the water into wine, is nothing more than a small village, with very 
few inhabitants. 

Sidon, called by the Turks Sayd, is situated on the sea-coast. It was anciently a place 
of great strength, and had a very extensive commerce. Though it is still populous, and 
a place of considerable trade, it has fallen from its ancient grandeur. Its exports consist 
in silks, with raw and spun cotton , the manufacturing of which employs most of the in- 
habitants, amounting to about five thousand. The city is defended by an old castle, 
built in the sea. 

Tyre, called by the Turks Sour, is about twenty miles to the south of Sidon. It was 
once very celebrated for its purple, called the Tyrian dye, produced from a shell-fish. 
This city was, in ancient times, the centre of an immense commerce and navigation, ami 
the nurse of arts and sciences. The ancient city stood, originally, on an island, joined 
to the main land by a mole; the remains of which appear at present. It has two har- 
bours; that on the north side is very good; but the other is choked up with ruins. The 
present inhabitants are only a few poor fishermen, who live in vaults and caves. 

Cesarea was at first called Strabo's Tower ; and was the capital of Palestine. This 
city was divided into two parts by a little hill, whereon was erected a temple dedicated 
to Cesar. 

Jericho is situated in a large plain about twenty miles long, and ten broad, bounded by 
a variety of mountains on the south-west, the west, and north; it is at present inhabited 
by a few miserable Arabs. 

The Mount of Forty Days, is situated on the north side of the plain of Jericho : the 
summit is covered neither with shrubs, trees, nor earth, but consists of u solid mass o( 
white marble : it is very difficult and dangerous to ascend, the path leading by a winding 
course, between two dismal abysses. This mountain is one of the highest in the province, 
and one of its most sacred places. It takes its name from the rigorous last which Christ 
observed here. From this mount maybe seen the hills of Arabia, the country ofGileod, 
the country of the Ammonites, the plains of Moab, and that of Jericho, the river Jordan, 
and the whole extent of the Dead Sea. Opposite to Jericho, beyond Jordan, rises Mount 
Nebo. 

Mount Carmel, on the south side of the bay of Acre, projects at one part into the sen, 
forming a great promontory, called the point of Carmel. There are a number of grottos, 
gardens, and convents, on this mount ; as also many cisterns for receiving me rain water. 

On this mountain was a fortress called Ecbatane. 

Mount Tabor is most delightfully situated, rising amidst the plains of Galilee, distant 

about twelve miles from tin' city of Tiberias ; it is distinguished by different names, as 
Itabyrion, Tabiirium, and by tin' Arabs Gibel-el-Tor. It is in appearance like a sugar- 
loaf, and is coveted from the top to the bottom with small trees. 

Palestine, which comprehends the ancient country of Canaan, and was occupied bj 

nine tribes of Israel, has experienced many and severe revolutions : the a in' fertility 

of the country, and its many advantages and happy situation, induced the neighbouring 

and powerful kingdoms to attempt its subjection : most of them succeeded in reducing i<> 
obedience and slavery, the peaceable inhabitants: the Persians, Saracens, Syrians, ami 
Romans, have alternately been masters, lor a lime, and then old gcd to yield to superior 
force : they treated the conquered with the utmost barbarity, and committed lilt gr 
devastation and slaughter; not even sparing old or voting, women, or helpless chlldn tl 
Thus it continued changing its ferocious masters, until, in the twelfth century, tin- 1 tirks 
takin" Cesarea, the whole country I'll into their possession; and has continued unoV, 
their power ever since : The innumerable scenes ol blood and desolation exhibited ifl Ibis 
country, have changed it from that happy, fruitful ami prosperous date, sobBautlfuUj! tH 
scribed in Deuteronomy, to an almost uninhabited desert, and heap of rums | R W t,.,. M 
of its ancient splendor remain ; and confusion and doubt bang over all the resear.hr, of 
the inquirer. , , , . , . , 

The present masters exercise unlimited and tyrannical authority over their sl.ivs. .■' 

Palestine, keeping the miserable inhabitants in the utmost subjection ; governing U f 

Caliphs and Bashaws, with rods of iron; and holding them in the most deplorable .,.- 
ranee and superstition.

TO THE HEADER. 



1. JL HAT this Concordance doth not pretend to comprehend more than any other larger 
ones, but to contain the principal substance of them all in little room. 

2. By observing one or more principal words of any remembered text, and what are the three 
first letters of them, and searching under answerable words in the Concordance, the sentence will 
be found. 

3. The original words, whether Nouns or Verbs, are marked in CAPITAL letters, and those 
derived from them come after in Italics. 

4. Where words are found in many places, the plural is distinguished from the singular, and the 
parts of verbs ending in — ed, — est, — etli, from their original. But when the examples are few, no 
such distinction is made, but may be easily observed. 

5. The Concordant words, except the first, are marked by the first letter a. b. c. fyc. and the 
mark — stands for several words above marked in Italics; divine persons are noted by answerable 
Capitals. 

6. Even other words, especially names of divine persons, are often marked by one or more of 
their first letters, that the sense of the line might be more complete.
